Velociraptor's Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

[velociraptor]

Now for Windiest Killer Just Got Windier (using two wedges) and Starstorm 2 to fight for a place in the heat final?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
It looked like the two robots would collide in the arena centre, until WKJGW turned to the side of Starstorm 2, who put its side skirt down! WKJGW shoved against the skirt, unable to get under it, but still managed to shove Starstorm 2 round, into the wall! WKJGW continued shoving as Starstorm 2 struggled to escape, and eventually, it wriggled its way out, then quickly turned as WKJGW continued going forward into the wall! Soon under the side, Starstorm 2 blew its top and threw WKJGW straight upwards! As the 7th seed came down again and bounced on the floor, Starstorm 2 quickly came underneath and catapulted it again! Landing some distance from Starstorm 2, WKJGW was able to dodge the advance, then get to Starstorm 2s side and ram it into the arena disc, which did little damage to the Hardox armour! Skimming to one side of WKJGW, Starstorm 2 rushed in, but WKJGW escaped, and Starstorm 2 was in the perfect position to be sent into the arena disc again! Turning as Starstorm 2 flew off into the wall, WKJGW managed to meet it with the wedge and ram it against the wall again, pinning it! Starstorm 2 started a slow escape again, but WKJGW saw it doing so this time, and shifted. Unfortunately, Starstorm 2 escaped before it could be rammed against the wall again, but it could be rammed from behind, taking it into the disc again!
Upon impact, Starstorm 2 knocked against WKJGW and ended up behind it. WKJGW tried running round it to bring its front wedge into play, and Starstorm 2 ran for the sides, but it only managed to catch the inverted wedge as it flipped, sending WKJGW up on its front and onto its back! Turning around to use its correct wedge, WKJGW rammed Starstorm 2 again, pushing it backwards, and once again they met the wall! Not side on against the wall, Starstorm 2 couldnt escape, and WKJGW could pin it there for the full 30 seconds, after which it was forced to back off. Starstorm 2 came straight back out to attack WKJGWs sides, and the 7th seed also went for Starstorm 2s sides, but the domed robot again slipped under the inverted wedge, the lid went up, and WKJGW ended up propped against the wall, helpless! Starstorm 2 just watched gleefully for a few seconds, then came in from the sides so WKJGW fell onto it, and did a proper throw, sending WKJGW to an entertaining height and almost catching it as it came down, but WKJGW recovered just in time and Starstorm 2s lid came up to flip thin air! WKJGW turned into the side of Starstorm 2 again, and as it pushed, they grazed the west wall, and ended up against the north wall! Not wanting to be flipped again, WKJGW tried to take Starstorm 2 into the pit release, but it pushed on a curved path and it only nudged the release itself! It tried to shift to get in the right position, but Starstorm 2 immediately retreated! However, the seventh seed was able to catch up and quickly ram Starstorm 2 from the side, back towards the pit! WKJGW edged its opponent along the wall, bringing it over the pit. Starstorm 2 began toppling in - and the pit started closing, with Starstorm 2s body preventing it from closing all the way! WKJGW quickly reversed back into the pit release, the lid retracted, and down went Starstorm 2!
CEASE!

WINDIEST KILLER JUST GOT WINDIER GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!

Now will Disco 5 or Orka Mk3 get through as well?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Disco 5 paused to spin up its disc as Orka Mk3 came running towards it, then came to greet it. Orka Mk3 ran full on into the sides, but was halted by the sprung skirts, and this allowed Disco 5 to move forwards then turn into it, striking with the disc and tilting it! Another disc hit took Orka Mk3 onto its back - it quickly used its dorsal fin to selfright, but Disco 5 had already got underneath with its wedge and was shoving it towards the pit release! Fortunately, Orka Mk3s large wheels allowed it to drive off the wedge, but Disco 5 fired its flipper as it was doing so, and Orka Mk3 almost ended up on its back again! This bought the 23rd seed enough time to get under again and roll Orka Mk3 fully onto its back, then ram it into the release as it was selfrighting! Ending up against the wall, Orka Mk3 ran along it and slipped back to the floor, to find itself facing an advancing Disco 5! Orka Mk3 ran straight towards it for a moment, then turned into the sides, pinning Disco 5 against the wall but still not getting past the skirting! So it decided to try and get under the disc, bringing its scoop in and firing! The scoop took a scratch, but Disco 5 was tilted forwards, and Orka Mk3 was quickly able to catch up and get underneath! A straight push took Disco 5 to the arena disc, and Orka Mk3 flipped the 23rd seed into it for extra pleasure! Disco 5 flew away, landed on its side and started falling back onto its wheels - but not fast enough to escape Orka Mk3 getting back underneath the gap, and then ramming it into the wall! Orka Mk3 used its scoop again, but this caused Disco 5s disc to touch the wall and send it bouncing off, pushing Orka Mk3 back and landing on its wheels!
Orka Mk3 quickly ran back into Disco 5, who turned so it ran up the wedge! Before it could run back off, Orka Mk3 found itself flipped! Disco 5 slipped under again as it selfrighted and it looked like another trip to the release, but again Orka Mk3 drove off and ran into Disco 5s side! Orka Mk3 turned to get under the disc just as Disco 5 turned the disc into it and tilted it up before the scoop could be fired! Again, the disc rolled Orka Mk3 over, and as the inverted robot turned itself back over, it went straight back into the disc! Disco 5 continued pressurising Orka Mk3, until it was up against the wall! Once this happened, another disc strike to the now slightly dented underbelly knocked Orka Mk3 upwards, on top of the 23rd seed, and the disc caused it to fall off, so it could run directly into the 23rd seeds side and push! The shove was successful until they reached the east wall, which Disco 5s flywheel touched, causing it to bounce out of Orka Mk3s grip! It immediately reversed to use the spinning weapon, but Orka Mk3 ran head on into it and flipped, tilting Disco 5 all the way onto its back! Orka Mk3 ran in to push it, and accidentally ran up Disco 5s underbelly! When Disco 5 tossed itself back over, it pushed Orka Mk3 back off and landed on the scoop! It was easy prey for Orka Mk3, who took it round into the pit release! Disco 5 fell to one side, but not enough to escape, and Orka Mk3 had soon condemned it to the pit!
CEASE!

ORKA MK3 GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!

Heat D Final:
Windiest Killer Just Got Windier (7) vs Orka Mk3

[matty_haka]

Anti vertical disc weapons, slide underneath the 2mm side clearance and keep ramming. If were overturned, I think were higher than them, so use the front wedge to overhang their sides and hammer down on the inner wheels. Once were underneath, and weve done a bit of damage, turn the drum off and udmp them down the big black ole.

[alex_holt]

hmmm, if im right after this i have 6 heats in a row, good good.

[velociraptor]

The fourth heat final - will Matty with Windiest Killer Just Got Windier (with the wedge and drum again), or Chris with Orka Mk3, get their first VFT6 semifinalist?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Both robots came into the centre of the arena and aimed to get under the sides of the opponent. The spinning dance lasted a few seconds before WKJGWs superior speed won out and it came underneath Orka Mk3, the drum whacking the centre and rear right wheels and tilting the robot! WKJGW came further underneath, tilting Orka Mk3 some more but not flipping it, and found itself with Orka Mk3 on top of its body! But Orka Mk3 was able to reverse off and then run for WKJGWs sides, but the 7th seed moved too quickly and then came back round to attack! There was a head on collision, and both robots began pushing back and forth, but neither seemed to be winning out! So WKJGW swerved in reverse, and as Orka Mk3 came forward, its side was exposed to the drum! The robot attached to the drum rammed Orka Mk3 with it, pinning it against the wall and scratching the solid tyres! Bouncing up and down on the drum, Orka Mk3 just managed to drive off, but WKJGW responded quickly and came in from behind, the drum pitching Orka Mk3 forwards so WKJGW could catch it on its body again, and this time successfully drive it into a corner! Its wheels off the ground, unable to escape, Orka Mk3 had to endure the punishment of WKJGWs drum, but the 6mm titanium did just that, only being scratched!
Eventually, Orka Mk3s tyres just managed to touch WKJGWs body and it drove off, and immediately turned into the sides of the 7th seed! WKJGW reversed, but Orka Mk3 caught the front side and lifted! As WKJGW was lifted off the ground, Orka Mk3 came in from the side again and tilted it against the wall! WKJGW quickly began sliding down, so Orka Mk3 attacked from the rear to pin it in the corner, but this allowed WKJGWs drum to touch the ground, causing it to bounce out of Orka Mk3s grip! WKJGW ran into Orka Mk3s side, but with the inverted wedge, the drum only just managed to touch the armour! Orka Mk3 turned towards WKJGWs sides again, but WKJGW was still faster and kept itself on Orka Mk3s sides, but could do little damage! So it turned to use its rear to push Orka Mk3 side on, but this allowed Orka Mk3 to catch its side! The unseeded robot immediately began pushing WKJGW towards the pit release, and the seventh seed couldnt do anything to stop Orka Mk3 pushing it down the pit, so enthusiastically it almost drove in itself! Orka Mk3 was the first unseeded semifinalist in VFT6!
CEASE!

ORKA MK3 GOES THROUGH TO THE SEMI FINALS!

Next time on VFT6, ninth seed Son Of Ripper 4.0 makes another attempt to reclaim its title - can it get past Back On The Chain Gang, Juggerbee 3.0 and Rippoff Yet Again?
And 25th seed Achilles will try to find the weak spots on Chip, Hefty Kick In The Balls and Surgeon General!

[steven_mcg]

A non-seed thro at last!

HEAT E
ROUND 1
1) Back on the Chain Gang VS Juggerbee 3.0 VS Rippoff Yet Again! VS Son of Ripper 4.0 (9)
Ill take Chain Gang to take Juggerbee to the Pit, while Son of Ripper flicks Rippoff around to win a JD

2) Achilles (25) VS Chip VS Hefty Kick in the Balls VS Surgeon General
The seed throws the General around before Pitting it, while Hefty Kick turns Chip into chips!

Cosmic stuff thus far, Mr Southworth :wink:

[andrewj]

Ill just re-post the tactics I gave earlier.

Son Of Ripper 4.0 (9) vs Back On The Chain Gang vs Juggerbee 3.0 vs Rippoff Yet Again

For the first time I can safely spin my rear disc up and keep it spinning safely for the whole fight! I am going for Rippoff Yet Again first, slide the front flipper blade under and toss it over hopefully stalling the ring. Then I€™m going to have to go for Juggerbee 3.0, being the less powerful pusher. Hopefully my disc will slice through its armour and I can get through to something inside.

[matt_macdonald]

I have a better idea, why dont you go for Jugerbee 3.0 first, while I go after Back On The Chain Gang! Ill attack its vulnerable wheels, which should leave it immobile, then if you have not taken out Juggerbee 3.0, I shall help you take it out and it should either end up be pitted or immobile, now I think thats a way better idea!

[matty_haka]

Or an even better one, you shut up and stop trying to change peoples tactics, while I go around shoving and discing anything that gets in my way, preferable leaving SoR alone.

[scott]

Ill turn Chip into chips, while my partner-in-crime for the NSBFL makes sure that the General will need a surgeon after the battle

[dinowarrior]

Waaaaa-Hoooooo!

Well, at least ONE of my robots has gone through, or done well. You might as well have all my other robots lose on round 1.


DONT! I was being sarcastic. You do what you think should happen to them. Just ignore what I said!


Anyways, Juggerbee 3.0 will slot his flipper under the robot with the highest ground clearance, then flip, ram and pit.
