Tactics, Predictions() if you like. :-)
I have pencilled in 26/1/05, but it could be earlier for the first fight.
Heat 1
Clawdius Decimus Murderous (1) vs. Intensity vs. Riptile - If Riptile is as good as Matty and his mystery fan say then its going through, probably along with Intensity. I was wondering when someone would clone Red Square :P
Lunch Box (32) vs. Biohazard vs. Starfire the 3rd - Lunch Box and Biohazard.
Heat winner: Unsure due to Riptiles missing stats, but probably Intensity.
Heat 2
Bulldog Breed (3) vs. She Loves You vs. Whirligig 4.0 - Either Bulldog and She Loves You, or Whirl and She Loves You.
Dantomkia (30) vs. Twist of Fate vs. Tanto 2 - tactics below
Heat winner: Dantomkia, Bulldog or Whirly.
Heat 3
Gravity 4.5 (5) vs. Denial vs. Ringwraith - Gravity and either Denial or Ringwraith.
Hacked off Ha-ka (2
Heat winner: Gravity or Ha-Ka.
Heat 4
Flaming Hell (7) vs. Splitz vs. PRP - A 25 KG bot isnt going to do much damage to a 100 KG one. It really is that simple. Splitz out.
X-Terminator (26) vs. 2blue vs. Storm 2 - 2blue WILL be blue. Both realies through.
Heat winner: Storm 2 or X-Terminator.
Heat 5
Typhoon 2 (9) vs. Tenderizers Revenge 2 vs. TEAM HELL VAPOUR - Without knowing anything about Daves entry, Im not calling it.
NSBFR-X (24) vs. Chaos 2 vs. Windiest Killer - Tactics below.
Heat winner: Again, not calling it.
Heat 6
No Close Shave 2 (11) vs. BIACS-LE vs. Drilla Killa 7 - BIACS-LE out I think. Sorry Matt.
Wedge Devolution (22) vs. Axe-O-Lotl vs. Cyborg 3 - Wedge Devo and Axe-O-Lotl
Heat winner: Wedge Devo.
Heat 7
Die Ceratops Invertus (13) vs. Deep Impact 2 vs. Super Gore GTI - DCI through. Not sure which of the other two though.
Flippa Frenzay Mk 6 (20) vs. Automatic Schmuck vs. Odyseus 2 - Not sure what Odyseus is like these days, but if its still got the bow weapon then Flippa Frenzay and Automatic Schmuck.
Heat winner: Automatic Schmuck. I dont see anything that can stop it in this heat.
Heat 8
Giga-Byte (15) vs. Robin the 3rd vs. Wedginator Reviloution - I predict a team-up, but even so Giga-Byte should go through. Wdginator will probably be the other one.
The Crashing Bore (1
Heat 9
Hell Machine (17) vs. Orka MK4 vs. Supernova - Hell Machine and probably Supernova.
Disco 5 (16) vs. Killobite Recharged vs. Wedga Revo - Disco and Wedga.
Heat 10
Ram-Rod (19) vs. Cyclone Force 2 vs. Mute - Tough one to call as all machines have similar strengths. Id go with Mute and Cyclone though.
Slammer 5 (14) vs. The Disc 5 vs. Razer - Tactics below.
Heat 11
ForcePower Turbo (21) vs. Tails vs. El Persistance - ForcePower and Tails.
Firestorm 5 (12) vs. Balderdash vs. Team Hells Realie - Tactics below.
Heat 12
Achilles (23) vs. Rogue vs. Starstorm 2 - Tactics below
Flipping Hell (10) vs. GeForce vs. Gamma Trident - If I read Gamma Tridents stats right, it will be impossible to drive. Flipping Hell and GeForce through.
Heat 13
Disco Dancer 2.5 (25) vs. Battle Raptor 3 vs. Ze Newie - Battle Raptor and Ze Newie through.
Panicking (
Heat winner: Stratos-Fear probably, with Ze Newie as a not so long shot.
Heat 14
Behemoth (27) vs. Take me out vs. Hefty Kick in the Balls - Behemoth to get cut down to size.
SD IV (6) vs. Avalanche vs. Generator - Probably Avalaunche to go bye-byes.
Heat winner: Could be Take Me Out or HKITBs.
Heat 15
The Deer (29) vs. Kick in the Teeth vs. Darth Dread - The Deer through easily. Dont know wholl join it.
Tsunami 2 (4) vs. Scottishly Fictional vs. Beast Boy 3 - Tsunami and Scottishly Fictional.
Heat winner: Tsunami 2 or Scottishly Fictional.
Heat 16
Tornado (31) vs. Call out hook vs. Megabite Rev 1.0 - Tornado and Call Out Hook. I think.
Son of Ripper 4 (2) vs. Glasgow Kiss vs. Raven the 3rd - Son of Ripper and Glasgow Kiss through.
Heat winner: Son of Ripper.
Tactics
Dantomkia (30) vs. Twist of Fate vs. Tanto 2 - Tanto 2 isnt known for its reliability, so Ill attack its sides to try and exploit that. If Tanto fails to fail Ill go for Dantomkias sides. IIRC, the front of Dantomkia is hardox these days so Ill avoid it like the plague.
NSBFR-X (24) vs. Chaos 2 vs. Windiest Killer - Fit the spinning bar and have a go and ripping Chaos 2s flipper off. Also go at the sides and basically exploit its weak armour.
The Crashing Bore (1
Slammer 5 (14) vs. The Disc 5 vs. Razer - Seeing The Disc was originally designed as an anti-Razer machine Id be a fool not to take it onHopefully a two blow kill. One side attack to rip the wing off on that side and basically, and another to knock Razer over. If Razer self rights, take the other wing off and then it really will be dead if flipped.
Firestorm 5 (12) vs. Balderdash vs. Team Hells Realie - Not sure what Daves entering, but keep flipping Balderdash.
Achilles (23) vs. Rogue vs. Starstorm 2 - I really have to go for Rogue. He shouldnt be able to damage me and I should be able to flip him around and possibly OOTA.
I think Ill try to breach a corner of Biohazards skirts. Thats the place where its weakest to flippers. Once its flipped it cant self right. It could in the first competitions it entered, since it had no skirts, but it cant anymore. If Biohazard proves to be too impervious, Ill go for Starfire and toss it around the arena for a bit.
Heat 1
Clawdius Decimus Murderous (1) vs. Intensity vs. Riptile
For this battle, Im going after who ever comes closest, Im going to ram into them, get them on top of the body and fire the flipper, retract it and repeat. I think Ill go for CDM as its stats have actually been posted
Heat 12
Achilles (23) vs. Rogue vs. Starstorm 2
Since Frank is going for me, Ill go for him and just keep my eye on Achilles incase of sneak attacks. Im going for Star Storm 2s skirts, they may be Hardox, but they cannot do what Frank claims. Since it has 4 skirts with curved edges, they will not be able to lift and raise from a central pivot point with out the Hardox needing to flex(Hardox doesnt flex with out a few tonne of force). Im going to aim for the gaps in the 4 skirts and try to break the skirts off at there hinges. Im going to keep the weapon pointed directly at him so he cannot flip me and Im going to manically aggressive. IF things dont seem to be going to plan, Ill use a Inspector General tactic and spin on the spot to thwack any opponents away momentarily so I can go back on the attack.
Riptile
Weight-
Shape- See picture on Haka€™s Corner site
Colour- As above
Dimensions- L- 95cm H- 30cm W- 60cm
Ground Clearance- 0 at front, 2mm at sides and rear. This is exactly the same if inverted as well
Turning Circle- 0.
Armour- 6mm Grade 5 titanium, weighing a total of 24.14kg to 2 decimal places
Locomotion- 4-x custom-built 30.4cm diameter rubber tyres, with lightweight drilled aluminium hubs. The 4 tyres, including wheels weigh about 3.5kg each, so 14kg in total
Power- 2 x Eteks, weigh a total of 18.9kg, and produce around 30BHp. They run at 48V, having been powered by 3x 24V TMC batteries, weighing a total of 7.5kg
Removable Link Position- In the centre of the jaw like structure, mounted between the weapons in it€™s own hole.
Weapons- The weapons have been designed to do 2 purposes. To provide a device capable locking a robot in position in order to unleash the massively powerful drive, whilst also capable of doing an immense deal of damage. And so, we have gone back to a weapon first seen in my former robot, The Scissor. However, it€™s now been updated into the modern day. It consists of 2 x 250mm with a thickness of about 4cm Pussycat style blades with a thickness of about 4cm. We can change between titanium blades, carbon blades, or 1 of each. They are mounted about 20cm apart in the centre of the jaw shape of the robot and exit holes in the wedge about 3cm from the base of the wedge. This means that we can shred things without them being too far up the wedge. The blades weigh around 9.14kg each, and spin in opposite directions, meaning we not only can shred with great efficiency, but clamp them between them as well in order to release our drive potential. The 2 blades are each powered by their own NPC-1200 motor, delivering 1.25 BHp to each weapon. These motors weigh about 8.72kg, and have their own 36V APC ventilator battery powering it. The blades can therefore reach a speed of around 3500rpm and have a spin up time of about 3.5 seconds, but are deadly in about 1.5 seconds. Each blade can produce about 21Kj of energy, so around 42Kj in total, which is capable of putting dents in Hardox, holes in titanium, and ripping most other things to shreds. The blades will be stopped if we get a hold on to a machine, to reduce the overheating of the motors, and to enable us to drive them towards pits and obstacles with ease. It€™ll hold with a grip of just under a tonne, meaning that although the grip won€™t do much damage on it€™s own, the blades will, and the force will easily be enough to hold the machines in place
Srimech- Invertible
Strengths- Powerful, well armoured, capable of doing a great deal of damage to certain armourments
Weaknesses- Uber weapons will make mincemeat of the armour. Can be flipped.
Weight Distribution
Chassis- I€™m guessing around 7kg
Armour- 24.14kg
Batteries- 7.5kg
Motors- 18.9kg
Weapons- 18.28kg
Weapon power- 12.22
Electronics + random nuts and bolts- Around 9kg
First tictacs for a new war!
HEAT 1
ROUND 1
1) CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS (1) VS Intensity VS Riptile
Tough draw. All I can really do is try outmanouevering the two and grappling from the side before a trip to the Pit. Most likely, Ill concentrate on Riptile, due to having the slightly weaker armour of the two and my Hardoxs good resistance to the blades
2) Biohazard VS Lunch Box (32) VS Starfire the Third
Either Bio to end up overturned or Starfire to rocket into the Pit. Or maybe both.
Aaron, care for a gang up? You toss em over and then I use my blades to grab and shove em down the pit?
edit* ignor what i posted if you saw it
Youve mis-read the stats Aaron. The skirts only meet the floor when theyre lowered, so theyre not just normal PA style skirts which get lowered a little bit more.
By keeping the skirts flat as if they were on the ground 100% of the time, I reckon I can get the effect I want.
