After that action packed Round 1, lets hope Round 2 delivers more of the same - WX 6.0 (with its concave scoop) and The Doomsday Project aim to do so!
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
WX 6.0 ran head on at The Doomsday Project, who on the other hand, tried to reach the second seeds side! However, WX 6.0s skid steering allowed it to whip round and end up in TDPs side, and shove it along into the west wall with a thud! But when this happened, it slid a little up the sloped skirts, and TDP turned to try and catch it! Fortunately, WX 6.0 reversed off - finding itself face to face with TDP, it charged head on into the disc, knocked upwards but slowing it! Coming back down, it charged the flywheel again - not stopping it, it did slow it some more! The Hardox scoop withstood a third ram which left TDPs flywheel stalled enough for WX 6.0 to shove! Despite TDP fighting back, the 2nd seed successfully shoved it backwards, into the north wall and then along into the pit release - but now it couldnt get TDP around to shove it down the pit! WX 6.0 did a reverse swerve to get to its opponents side - TDP began spinning its disc and turned around to try and cause some damage, but this proved to be a mistake, as when WX 6.0 hit its side, it was able to push it in the direction of the pit! But they turned a little and missed, slamming back into the west wall!
WX 6.0 again skidded around to shove The Doomsday Project, ramming it in the flywheel again as TDP attempted to attack again! It attacked again as TDP turned again, and found itself at a front corner, shifting around to TDPs side! As the open pit closed, WX 6.0 slammed TDP into the east wall, again shifting to ram and stall the flywheel! It got two rams in, which the scoop continued to withstand! At this point, TDP finally struck the side of WX 6.0, but the flywheel wasnt spinning fast enough to do any more than scratch, and WX 6.0 soon rammed it hard again to bring its speed down, before pushing it back into the pit release! Squeezing into the gap between The Doomsday Project and the wall, the second seed shoved its victim along the north wall, and had soon condemned the unseeded robot to the pit!
CEASE!
WX 6.0 GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!
Who gets that last place in the last heat final - Heir To Black Panther IV or VGer?
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Heir To Black Panther IV and VGer both came on the attack, VGer turning around to bring its rear lifter into play! But as it did this, HTBP4 was able to run parallel to it and just slip its front underneath - lifting one side of VGer upward, it brought down its axe into the 15mm aluminium armour on top, making some dents, before backing off and letting VGer down! VGer chased HTBP4 in reverse, and as the 18th seed came for it, they hit front-to-rear! Both had low lifters, but as they strained against each other, HTBP4s spatula went underneath and it lifted VGer into the air! VGers front flywheel scraped the ground and it skimmed away, with HTBP4 following it! As they came together again, VGers weapon scraped HTBP4s side and left a ugly cut! With HTBP4 sent off course by the blow, VGer reversed at it, knocking the side but not getting past the skirt! HTBP4 took the oppotunity to get under VGers side again, lifting it and mercilessly axing the aluminium once again, making new dents and deepening old ones!
When it initiated its hit and run tactic again, Heir To Black Panther IV found itself being blocked by the wall, and before it could escape, it took a front glance from VGer! After reversing away from the dangerous disc, HTBP4 came back on the offensive, and as VGer tried unsuccessfully to use its lifter again, HTBP4 got back under the side and axed away, while carrying VGer to the arena disc - it didnt have to run when VGer went flying away from the disc with a new wound, its own disc hitting the floor so it bounced some more, and HTBP4 could get back underneath and pin it in a corner, and continue its axe work on the helpless VGer! After a pin of about 20 seconds, the 18th seed moved off, leaving VGer to come after it, undaunted by the varying wounds in its top! It didnt have long before HTBP4 came back into its side, just missing the flywheel and lifting VGer so it could axe again, while turning VGer around in a circle! Its next move was to ram VGer into a wall and run away, as VGer skimmed off again due to its flywheel! Before it could recover, HTBP4 again rammed it in the side and axed the aluminium on top, which was now weakening a little after the punishment it had sustained! Once again, VGer found itself being slammed against a wall once HTBP4 was finished with it! This time, as it stabilised on the floor and HTBP4 came to attack it again, it was able to attack its opponent with a blow to the front with its disc! After another hit on the side, VGer turned its lifter to HTBP4s side and began fighting against the skirt, but failed to get underneath! Eventually, HTBP4 slipped out of its opponents grasp and slammed into the side again!
With its lifter a bit battered after two hits from VGers weapon, Heir To Black Panther IV lifted its victim a little slower, but it was still able to inflict punishment with its tanto blade, while carrying VGer around the arena until they reached the arena disc! Again VGer found itself on a wild ride away from the disc, its own weapon only glancing the floor but still bouncing it a bit! HTBP4 went on the attack but the disc knocked it in the side! Unfortunately, this only bought VGer some time as HTBP4 was back on track before it had fully stabilised, and again it found itself being rammed towards the empty southwest corner - but as it went, its flywheel touched the wall and it bounced away from HTBP4 and went cartwheeling across the floor! HTBP4 successfully caught it and buffeted it into the corner, and began axing away, its axe not doing quite so much damage as gas was beginning to run low! So HTBP4 hit VGer a bit less in the fifteen second pin, but propped it up against the wall with its lifter before moving off! VGer was able to use its lifter to turn itself over - unfortunately, rather than touching the floor, it touched the attacking HTBP4, who landed another axe blow and rammed it back towards the arena disc, so once again VGer flew! It began spinning its flywheel again as Heir To Black Panther IV approached, and managed to glance it as time ran out! It would go to the judges!
CEASE!
Aggression: HTBP4 - 7, VGer - 3 (HTBP4 was more aggressive)
Damage: HTBP4 - 5, VGer - 5 (HTBP4 axed VGer a lot but it was mainly superficial, while VGer got in less flywheel hits but damaged HTBP4s lifter a little)
Strategy: HTBP4 - 7, VGer - 3 (HTBP4s hit and run strategy was more simple than VGers flip and attack strategy, but much more successful)
Control: HTBP4 - 5, VGer - 5 (equal control here)
Style: HTBP4 - 6, VGer - 4 (VGers flywheel hits were more stylish but less frequent than HTBP4s axing and lifting)
Dominance: HTBP4 - 8, VGer - 2 (HTBP4 was in control for most of the battle)
Final Score: Heir To Black Panther IV - 38, VGer - 22
HEIR TO BLACK PANTHER IV GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!
