Sorry for the delay, everyone - Ive been taking it easy a bit since finishing the exams.

Welcome to VFT6, where were about to start our first ever Football tournament! Eight two-robot teams of would-be Beckhams are ready to play against each other, until one team is left to walk away with the VFT6 Football Trophy, which is more than the England team has managed since 1966! Stupid referee at the Portugal match...

Our first match has Biohazard and El Persistance (neither in any particular role) hoping to score against Little Sister and TIRTASM (Little Sister as striker, TIRTASM in goals)!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Biohazard and El Persistance both made a move for the ball, as did Little Sister, resulting in all three of them colliding, and the ball ending up wedged under Biohazards lifted skirts! The three struggled for a moment before Biohazard broke away, but left the ball behind, allowing Little Sister to catch it! El Persistance rammed Little Sister in the side and knocked it off course, but since the arm was lifted, Little Sister escaped quickly and went after the ball. Biohazard and El Persistance charged after it, but before they could catch up, Little Sister knocked the ball into the unguarded goal, just before El Persistance slammed into it to try and stop it!
1-0 to Little Sister and TIRTASM!
As the match began again, Biohazard stayed around the goal while El Persistance and Little Sister went for the ball! In the impact, the ball rolled away, and it was El Persistance who picked it up, but struggled to get it under the arm! Little Sister was alongside to pressure it, but couldnt get round to get the ball! Sending the ball rolling, El Persistance ran after it and just started nudging it along with its wedge, towards the enemy goal! It tried a run to get past TIRTASM, who came out and collided with it, causing the ball to roll away! Little Sister and El Persistance both ran into the wall in the rush to catch the ball, and it bounced away from them - Little Sister went after it and also adopted a nudging technique, having no way to really control the ball. Eventually, it reached Biohazard, and tried to run the ball in, but just ran it into Biohazards skirt! However, the ball rolled back off, and with a nudge from Little Sister, it crossed the line!
2-0 to Little Sister and TIRTASM!
At the second restart, both robots rushed into the ball, but went a little off and got locked together while the ball rolled away! El Persistance pulled away from Little Sister and reversed into the ball, sending it against the wall, so it could turn and get it under the arm! Little Sister ran into El Persistances rear, but couldnt get under the skirting! This allowed El Persistance to run along with the ball, but a little slower than normal as it pressed the arm down on it, allowing Little Sister to catch up as it went for TIRTASMs goal! There was a bit of dodging, which resulted in El Persistance losing its grip on the ball! Little Sister immediately went for it, but also lost its grip on it - both robots advanced and collided again! Shoving Little Sister aside, El Persistance got the ball on its wedge, but it was facing in the wrong direction. It turned itself and the ball around, and when Little Sister rammed it in the side, it managed to catch it again, and run at TIRTASM! TIRTASM aimed to stop it head on, so El Persistance dodged. However, the speedy TIRTASM reversed and the ball bounced off its side! Little Sister came in and steered the ball away from El Persistance, but got a shove so it couldnt go after it itself! As the two strikers went for it again, El Persistance got there first and knocked it towards Biohazard, who managed to catch it and run at TIRTASM itself, with El Persistance blocking Little Sister! Unfortunately, TIRTASM came out again and stopped Biohazard, ramming it in the lifted skirts and sending the ball rolling away from the goal! So El Persistance rushed in and gave the ball a knock, but TIRTASM responded quickly and deflected it again! Little Sister and El Persistance both ran the ball into the wall as they struggled to take hold of it, with Biohazard coming in to try and help its teammate! As they struggled, Little Sister eventually tried using its flipper to get it out - it successfully sent the ball flying back, but also unintentionally gave El Persistance a tilt, and was given a yellow card! Little Sister reversed out and managed to get its rear into the ball as Biohazard reversed after it! Outpacing it, Little Sister aimed for the unguarded goal - but the ball hit the bar and bounced off! Little Sister went for it, but now Biohazard was firmly guarding the goal and El Persistance was coming in for a tackle! With a crash, El Persistance collided with Little Sister, twisted the ball away from it, but then struggled to get it away from the wall! It eventually succeeded, and went for TIRTASM again with Little Sister in hot pursuit! TIRTASM again prepared to face it, so El Persistance tried to turn and aim the ball for the other side of the goal! But again, TIRTASM sped across the goal and deflected the ball, so El Persistance had another try! With the ball under its arm again, it struggled to get past TIRTASM, and was still doing so at the final whistle!
CEASE!

LITTLE SISTER & TIRTASM WIN 2-0!

Next into the arena are Dervish V/ and Revenge Of Revenge Of The Bludgeonator on one side (neither in any particular role) and In-terror-fied and Windiest Killer Just Got Windier on the other (again, neither in a role)!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
All four players made a rush for the ball this time - Dervish V/ and Interrorfied got there first, with Interrorfied using its jaws to knock the ball towards WKJGW, who immediately charged with the ball, getting past ROTROTB and sending itself and the ball into the back of the net!
1-0 to In-terror-fied and Windiest Killer Just Got Windier!
On this start, only In-terror-fied and WKJGW went for the ball and began shoveling it towards Dervish V/ and ROTROTB, who had remained at their goal. As they came in, ROTROTB blocked them and caught the ball in its shovel! Shoving both of the other team aside, it went for the goal, with Interrorfied and WKJGW going after it! They caught up and shoved it in the side, but the ball remained in the shovel! In-terror-fied tried to reach the ball with its jaws, but found itself almost being shoveled up by ROTROTB - WKJGW saved it by coming underneath the side and trying to shove ROTROTB into its own goal! But the ball rolled out of the shovel, and Dervish V/ accelerated towards it! Before In-terror-fied and WKJGW could catch it, it had run the ball into their goal!
1-1!
The third start, and now ROTROTB and In-terror-fied made a move for the ball while Dervish V/ and WKJGW guarded the goals! In-terror-fied got there first and tried to clamp it in its jaws, but they were too slim and the ball rolled out, allowing ROTROTB to catch it! In-terror-fied quickly caught up with it, so ROTROTB tried turning away from it - as it was doing so, Dervish V/ came out to help, ran into ROTROTBs scoop and steered the ball away from Interrorfied! ROTROTB blocked Interrorfied long enough for Dervish V/ to run towards WKJGW, who charged at it, passed underneath and knocked the ball away! All four went for it, with WKJGW getting there first - it began moving the ball along the wall, but ROTROTB caught it, and as WKJGW pushed against it, the ball rolled into the shovel! ROTROTB turned away to go for the goal, but Interrorfied rammed it to stop it! Dervish came in to help again, collecting the ball from the scoop and keeping ahead of its opponents long enough to send the ball into their net!
2-1 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
ROTROTB and Interrorfied both acted as strikers again, and again Interrorfied reached the ball first, knocked it away from ROTROTB with its jaws and steered it towards Dervish V/! Dervish V/ came out as it got closer and used its body to block it - Interrorfied pushed Dervish V/ back, but lost its grip on the ball, and ROTROTB collected it, with both Dervish and In-terror-fied coming after it! Again In-terror-fied caught up, and again ROTROTB turned away, but now Dervish was behind it as well, and Interrorfied was able to shove it in the side so the ball rolled out! But Interrorfied had to release ROTROTB to catch it, and ROTROTB recollected the ball first, aiming for the goal! As it looked like Interrorfied would stop it again, Dervish again ran into the scoop and went to score itself, but again a charge from WKJGW caused it to lose the ball! However, Dervish was able to collect it again first, but this time In-terror-fied moved to block it, and stopped it from scoring! WKJGW retrieved the ball as it rolled away, but was blocked by ROTROTB joining the scrum and taking the ball, and steering it into the goal before it could be stopped!
3-1 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
This time, Dervish went to face In-terror-fied and get the ball -as they collided, Interrorfied blocked Dervish with its jaws, caught the ball against the wall and managed to clamp it! Dervish tried to pin In-terror-fied but couldnt, as it went to score! However, ROTROTB blocked In-terror-fied with its scoop! In-terror-fied went to go around ROTROTBs back, and managed to outpace it and deliver the ball over the line!
3-2 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
Dervish V/ and Interrorfied were the strikers again, and once again, Interrorfied used its jaws to steer the ball away towards the wall! Dervish tried to block it, but In-terror-fied was still able to reach the ball - however, the ball rolled away when it tried to clamp it, and time ran out before anyone could catch it!
CEASE!

DERVISH V/ AND REVENGE OF THE REVENGE OF THE BLUDGEONATOR WIN 3-2!

Match Number 3 features WX 6.0 and Forcepower Turbo (WX in goals, FT as striker) against Leprosy Infection and Mega Masher 2 (MM in goals, LI as striker)!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
In the centre, Forcepower Turbo and Leprosy Infection immediately rushed at the ball, and it ended up between them! They struggled for a moment, then Forcepower began shoving LI backward, with the ball still between them! LI would not stand for this and twisted, trying to move the ball out of Forcepowers scoop! It managed to get it past the flaps and began running towards the opposing goal - Forcepower ran after it but being the same speed, it couldnt catch up! As LI came closer, WX 6.0 came to greet it - LI tried to turn away but was hit in the front corner, so the ball drifted out of its grasp! WX 6.0 turned and attempted a pass to Forcepower, who was coming around to get the ball, and it was successful, though almost resulted in an own goal! Dodging LI, Forcepower charged across the arena at Mega Masher 2, who remained in its side on position. Forcepower aimed for the small gap and didnt get the ball through it, but slammed into MM2! MM2 moved to plug the gap, but Forcepower shoved against it, and eventually pushed MM2 back enough to get the ball across the line!
1-0 to WX 6.0 and Forcepower Turbo!
As the match began again, both Leprosy Infection and Forcepower Turbo went for the ball, but as LI got to it, it turned to knock the ball away from Forcepower, who was coming straight on! Unfortunately, this manouvre meant that Forcepower accidentally got LI in the side, preventing it from getting the advantage! Instead, Forcepower turned and got to the ball first, but this time, as it manouvred to go for the goal, LI tried a tackle, managing to twist into Forcepowers wedge and knock the ball away! As LI tried to twist off Forcepowers wedge, the ball rolled towards Mega Masher 2, who came out of the goal for a moment and knocked it. Getting ahead of Forcepower, LI got the ball in its C scoop, and ran towards the goal with Forcepower in hot pursuit! WX 6.0 came out as Leprosy Infection approached, running to catch it head on, but LI turned and just got hit in the side! The ball rolled away, but LI caught up with it before Forcepower could! WX 6.0 reversed, and just managed to block LIs way to the goal! With Forcepower pressuring it on one side, LI tried to push past the two opponents and score, and eventually, it nudged the ball through a gap! Forcepower Turbo went for the ball, but Leprosy Infection ran onto the scoop and helped to send the ball rolling over the line before WX 6.0 could stop it!
1-1!
The match resumed, and again Leprosy Infection tried to turn the ball away from Forcepower Turbo, but Forcepower had expected that! Turning faster, it knocked the ball away itself, and quickly caught it! As Forcepower turned, LI tried to tackle it again, but Forcepower turned away and charged at Mega Masher 2 again! LI couldnt get in the right position to take the ball away, allowing Forcepower to make its way, with the ball in its possession, to the goal. It hit Mega Masher 2 hard, and the ball jumped but remained in the scoop. Soon, with Forcepower using its superior power to shove Mega Masher 2 into its goal, the ball was over the line again!
2-1 to WX 6.0 and Forcepower Turbo!
Once again, the two strikers attempted to obtain the ball by turning at the last moment - but they ended up turning in opposite directions! However, with its more solid scoop pushing past Forcepower Turbos flaps, it was Leprosy Infection who got possession of the ball, and began making its way towards WX 6.0s goal! Forcepower reversed after it, and as they were at an angle to each other when they made contact, Forcepower gave LI a nudge that made it lose the ball! However, when Forcepower turned, both robots were even, and both struggling to reach the ball! WX 6.0 came out to lend its teammate a hand by nudging it in its direction, allowing Forcepower to break away and capture the ball in its scoop! LI ran after Forcepower as it charged towards the goal - as it came in, Mega Masher 2 turned to try and keep Forcepower from getting the ball over the line! However, this opened up a gap, and Forcepower turned to exploit it! But as it came in, MM2 turned again and closed the gap, so the ball ended up on MM2s wedge, then sliding off and to the side of the goal! Both Forcepower Turbo and Leprosy Infection went to get it, but as they struggled against each other, time ran out! WX 6.0 and Forcepower Turbo both moved into the centre and spun in victory, to cheers from the amused crowd!
CEASE!

WX 6.0 & FORCEPOWER TURBO WIN 2-1!

The final first round match has 4 Wheel Steering and Seggy The Third (both robots as strikers) against specially designed X and I (X as striker, I in goals)!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
4 Wheel Steering, Seggy the Third and X all made for the ball - 4WS and X collided at the ball, and 4WS looked set to carry it away until X fired its panels and shot the ball away! However, when the ball bounced off the wall, Seggy reached it first and started moving towards Is goal! X tried to follow, but was blocked by 4WS, allowing Seggy to reach I! The width of I meant it could block Seggy - when the ball drifted into Is clutches, it sprung it out of Seggys scoop, into the wall and away! X ran after it, eventually catching it in the corner, but 4WS came in from behind, pushing X off the ground to reach the ball, and eventually doing so! It sped away with the ball in its scoop and went for I itself, but was blocked! Trying again, it was blocked again, but went into Is rear side and pushed, allowing the ball over the line!
1-0 to 4 Wheel Steering and Seggy The Third!
With Seggy behind them, X and 4WS came together on the ball again, and again X managed to steer the ball within its panels and fire - the ball bounced off the wall and almost went into the enemy goal! X went for the ball, but Seggy got there first - however, X met it in the front, claimed the ball and managed to fire it into their goal!
1-1!
This time, as the strikers reached the ball, 4WS steered the ball away from X before it could fire, but still struggled to escape X pressuring it at the sides! So Seggy came in and accepted the ball, but as it went for I, X outpaced it, got its panels into the ball and fired it away! The ball bounced off the wall, off Seggy and away - being nearest, 4WS managed to catch it first and run it towards I before X could catch it! It dodged Is attempt to block and went for the other side, but I managed to keep it away long enough to get the ball in its panels! Now the ball flew over 4WSs body and away - X caught it, escaped a tackle attempt by Seggy and fired the ball into the enemy net again!
2-1 to X & I!
In the fourth collision, 4WS and X struggled for possession until X used its panels again, firing the ball into a corner! Seggy got possession, but had to run from X! Fortunately, 4WS came in to block X long enough for Seggy to attempt to score - unfortunately, I was there to swallow the ball and shoot it away from Seggy and into the wall, so X could claim it again! 4WS ran alongside X to keep it from scoring, but as they turned in a circle, X eventually had a clean shot, and took full advantage!
3-1 to X & I!
For the second time, 4WS successfully steered the ball away from Xs panels, but X reversed after it so 4WS ran into its side, and X used its side panels to send the ball over 4WS! But Seggy caught it before it could enter the goal, but then found itself facing X head on! The three strikers came together in a scrum, which quickly ended when X fired the ball away again - as it bounced off the wall, it very nearly went into the goal! 4WS got to it first, but X came after it and used its side panels again to fire the ball into the wall and across the arena! X followed and captured the ball, but Seggy came in and managed to steer it away! However, as the ball rolled away, X caught up with it first, fired it before 4WS could come in - and missed! The ball bounced off a corner and reentered the arena centre, allowing 4WS to get possession, and although it got pressure from X again, it escaped and went for I! I tried to snatch the ball, but 4WS dodged - I reversed and caught the ball before it could go in the other side, and shot it away again! Again, X caught it before anyone else, went closer to the enemy goal, so when it shot, it didnt miss!
4-1 to X & I!
As the match restarted again, X was able to shoot the ball away from 4WS and into the wall, but Seggy blocked it when it bounced off, preventing a goal-in-one, as it were! Seggy turned around and got the ball in its scoop, and went for I with 4WS and X coming in with it, but time ran out before anything more could happen!
CEASE!

X & I WIN 4-1!
