Heat H Final

The Disc 5 vs. Cyclone Force 2

In round 1, Cyclone Force 2 flipped Ram-Rod into the pit with a little help from Mute, when The Disc 5 took an easy day when Razer pitted Slammer 5. In round 2, Frank€™s evil machine placed Mute onto the camera tracks, when Cyclone Force 2 caused an upset after being pretty well destroyed, pitted Razer.

Who will come out on top, but full marks for Chris for working throughout the night to repair Cyclone Force and for everybody else in the pits to help, Cyclone Force 2€™s disc is back working and in place for this fight.

Cyclone Force 2 gets the early start, being driven by a couple of Lem 130 motors gives it some nice acceleration, as Chris gets the front disc up to speed to attack The Disc, which is sitting still, the rear wheels on the arena wall, so it can€™t be pushed backwards, spinning the disc up to speed. Cyclone Force 2 rams into The Disc 5, as disc meets disc and Cyclone Force is flipped onto it€™s back. Frank moves forward and hits into the polycarbonate rear and rips away some of the panels. Typical, you mend it and now Frank breaks it.

Chris runs away before The Disc can remove another part of Cyclone Force 2, as Chris opens the pit release. The Disc 5 starts to roll, getting up to speed, as Cyclone Force 2 takes the long route around the strange machine of Frank, but The Disc 5 turns to make sure that Cyclone Force 2 can€™t get around the rear where it might do something. Both robots are going in a circle, the radius increasing and decreasing at random, as Cyclone Force 2 makes a break for it. The Disc 5 turns, the spike fires, sending The Disc 5 into a hopping frenzy. Cyclone Force 2 rams into The Disc 5 with it€™s disc at full speed.

Both robots are thrown away, as the front disc of Cyclone Force 2 looks to have taken the damage, but it spins back up to speed, and comes back onto the attack. Another running 25mph drive from Cyclone Force 2 and both robots are thrown away, as the spike fires again, sending The Disc 5 onto it€™s back. The front disc of Cyclone Force 2 lands far away from Cyclone Force 2 itself, as the front is completely wrecked by the last couple of impacts. The Disc 5€™s disc has started to make a strange noise, coming from deep inside the body. Cyclone Force 2 comes back onto the attack in a doggy style way, slamming into The Disc 5 at full speed. Once more, both robots are thrown, as the front end of Cyclone Force 2 looks completely destroyed with the chain hanging loose and the motor starting to come away.

The Disc 5 meanwhile is having trouble keeping the disc at low speed and has to go to full speed, as another attack from Cyclone Force 2 comes straight at The Disc, Chris dodges and hits The Disc 5 to the right of the disc, not being thrown away Cyclone Force 2 puts on the power, as The Disc 5 is being pushed backwards, Frank is trying to do anything he can, but the hammer comes down onto The Disc 5€™s top, bouncing away, and the hammer fires again, into a semi-spun up disc, and bounces away from the tough titanium bodywork, as Cyclone Force 2 spins away with some force that something flies out of the front, it€™s not the motor, it€™s the gearing for the motor to chain, as it comes down, is life over for Cyclone Force 2, as The Disc 5 starts to spin it€™s disc up again, the noise returns.

Cyclone Force 2 comes storming into play, and straight into The Disc 5€™s disc. Both robots are spun away, as the hammer comes down onto The Disc 5, and the disc rips away the hammer from the holdings. Cyclone Force 2 lands, the front has gone, as the weapon motor for a 2nd fight has been destroyed, as the front wheels are holding onto the chassis for dear life, as Cyclone Force 2 comes onto the attack once more, you can€™t give anything for Chris€™s aggression, even if it means being destroyed, but is all this attacking hurting The Disc 5 at all?

For the 5th time, both robots are flown away from each other, as Cyclone Force 2 lands, one of the wheels roll away, as The Disc 5 starts to turn, something is wrong with the disc itself, as it€™s shaking badly at low speeds, settling down when the disc passes 1000 rpm. Frank is looking worried, as some funny readings are being sent to his hand held €œDisc Protection System€ (Patent Pending), as Cyclone Force 2 comes back onto the attack once more, even with 5 wheels on the robot, Cyclone Force 2 can still get up to speed as it ploughs into The Disc 5. Once more Cyclone Force 2 is thrown away, as The Disc 5 spins around, as the disc shakes again at low revs before getting back up to speed. Cyclone Force 2 isn€™t moving, it€™s armour is broken all the way around, as there are drive chains hanging out of the broken front chassis.

Ref starts to move, as Cyclone Force 2 kicks into action and manages to get around the rear end of The Disc 5 and stopping the disc with it€™s front end, starts to push The Disc 5 towards the arena pit, The wheels on The Disc are spinning as it tries to get away on holiday, but suddenly Cyclone Force 2 cuts out, a few feet away from the pit edge, as smoke starts to pour from inside it. The Disc 5 comes away; the disc isn€™t spinning at all, as Cyclone Force 2 goes up in some fire baby.

Cease

Ref comes over with the fire hose and puts out the flames with the co2, as The Disc 5 goes into shutdown mode.

Cyclone Force 2, destroyed, wrecked, there is nothing left after the fire inside from the short-circuited batteries. The Disc 5 moves into the semi finals, but after future inspection to the insides as Frank tries to work out the nature of the shakes, he finds that the friction bearing has been wormed down and needs to be replaced; also a wire has come away from the motor.

Frank works long into the night, helped along by Chris.
