The Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament

HEAT O
ROUND 1
1) Achilles (23) VS Rogue VS Starstorm 2
I can see Rogue suffering a pitting here.

2) Flipping Hell (10) VS GeForce VS Ze Newie
A real toughie here. I can see Tom getting through OK, so one of the flippers. Could be GeForce to go here

Good stuff as ever and as for we all know Frank is Jesus in disguise...I KNEW it!

Achilles (23) vs. Rogue vs. Starstorm 2

Possibly Rogue to go here, or maybe Starstorm. Achilles should be safe whatever though.

Flipping Hell (10) vs. GeForce vs. Ze Newie

I think I out torque both these robots, which should go in my favour. Ill spend the first minute or so just using the wedge to ram the other two around. Then Ill start using the flipper hopefully meaning I have more gas to last out the fight and send them flying.

The main tactic will be to flip Flipping Hell over. I think Im right in saying that its flipper does not work because CO2 doesnt go 1000psi. Correct me if Im wrong.

[mrdaves]

Above 750 psi-ish co2 changes to liquid. Many realies I think store their co2 at 1000 psi.

[pcbore]

I think I was going for Rogue here. Care to team up Alex?

[alex_holt]

Yeh sure, I dont have anything else particularly to do.

Whats a TKO?

[team_britespark]

Total Knock Out

[pcbore]

I thought it was Technical Knock-Out

[mrdaves]

Franks right.

TKO = Technical Knock-Out

I think it means that if the robot was freed from the pit/side wall/camera track it will still be able to run.

[razerdave]

whichever has the highest ground clearance will be my main target, and Ill try and get under, and push them to the wall to make sure they go out (even though it can flip from the center of the ring)
