Who wants some fighting?

My exams are finally over for another year, Morning Runner, Interpol, and Coldplay were excellent last night, and so it is time for some fighting.

Heat L, Round 2, Fight 1

Generator vs. Take Me Out

Random Chit Chat costs lives, so it€™s fighting time, as the feather dusters are brought out to dust the robots

Active

The instant acceleration from the storm 2 style drive on Take Me Out, takes it to it€™s top speed before it has exited the red square. Generator is waiting, the weapon getting up to speed to enable pure power, as Tom drives Generator forward. Take Me Out, swings around, depressing the pit release button, to open the pit.

Generator is moving towards Take me out to land that axe onto it. Martyn sees the great big Aussie beast coming in it€™s rear view mirror, and spins around to face the Generator. Tom has stopped moving forward, and swings to the side, as he gets ready for the attack from Take me out. Martyn is waiting, a good distance away from Generator, as Aaron is telling Tom to go for the attack, as both robots are in scale-mate.

Tom pushes the controller on Generator forward, as it bursts into life, and Take me out reverses, jamming the left hand side into reverse and doing what the Americans call crabbing, as take me out comes close to Generator, as the axe fires. Take me out slams into reverse as quickly as possible, as the axe goes straight though the floor, as Generator hops like there is no tomorrow. Take Me Out uses this time well, slamming under the side of Generator as the axe is redrew from the floor, leaving a large hole, as Generator is on it€™s back.

Jack flash couldn€™t have done it more quickly; as Generator self-rights before Take me Out can attack once more. The force on the arena floor, as put another large dent in the solid steel, as Generator does some crabbing of it€™s own, to cancel out Take me Out€™s advantage, as Martyn drives towards the arena hammer, in a hope of a hammer face off. The arena hammer fires, narrowly missing the top of Take me out, as it reloads, Generator slams into the hazard zone. Martyn selects reverse, and goes into the wall, as the axe on Generator fires, pinning and slicing though the front wedge with ease. The arena hammer fires, once, twice, and three times onto the top of Generator, the armour is taking the hits well, as the drive system on Take me out is preventing Generator from dragging it€™s prey back home to the bitter layer of doom and destruction.

The arena hammer has managed to put a little dent in the top of Generator, but not a lot to worry about, as the hammer comes up, pulling up a piece of the arena floor with it, leaving Take me Out stuck, in the corner, but Martyn puts on full power, and jumps over Generator by using the pulled up arena surface sheet for it€™s advantage. The battle continues as normal, as Generator is trying to catch up with Take Me Out, who€™s front end is bent so much, that the titanium strip at the front of the wedge is in the air. Martyn circles the arena spikes, as Generator comes close once more.

The axe fires, narrowly avoiding contact with Take me out, but smashing the arena spike hole up, that nitrogen has started to leak from the cylinders, the safety dump value underneath the arena opens dumping all the nitrogen, as the arena surface becomes super-cooled. Take me out, trying to keep moving to stop the wheels from freezing up is on the attack, as Generator is spinning all over the place, as some of the bearings in the wheels have frozen. 20 seconds later, the order has been resumed, as take me Out is heading at full speed towards Generator€™s side. Tom spins on the spot, as Martyn dodges the front end, but can€™t make the corner, and Generator slams side-on into Take Me Out, spinning both robots around. The axe once more fires, in a hope it will hit something and destroy it, as take me out gets underneath Generator when it hopped, and pushes it sideways as fast as it can go.

The two right hand wheels are on the wedge, unable to get traction, as the left hand wheels don€™t have the power to come off from the wedge, as Martyn is looking for a shock here, as he fires the flipper. Generator hits the wall€¦

€¦falling over onto the right side. Game on once more, as take me out slams into the rear end, as Generator self-rights, the power sends Generator onto the wall, and over, crashing down onto the camera tracks. Take me out is spinning, but something is wrong with the drive system now, as the front end is dragging on the arena surface, as a loud boom is heard, as co2 starts to leak from the flipper, which fires to get rid of the extra pressure, doing a back flip in the meanwhile, to show hanging chains, and co2 leaking out of the large slice on the underside, the signs of damage.

Cease

Generator, attacked, attacked, attacked, but the quicker Take me out, manages to avoid the fast attacks from the Aussies, and moves onto the heat final, but with a large repair list, that Martyn will be rushed off his feet to repair in time.

Fight 2
Behemoth (27) vs. Avalanche

I lost my faith in the summer time, because it doesn€™t stop raining.

Active

Both robots take their time to getting up to speed, as both Matt€™s are looking for the win here. Avalanche turns the corner first to put full power on, as Behemoth crashes into Avalanche€™s front. A brief moment, as Matt M lifts the bucket scoop up a bit on Behemoth to loosen the grip of Avalanche€™s torque. Behemoth fires the axe into Avalanche, as Matt R is trying to get away, but the wheels are spinning against the most important item off all time, air.

Matt M is wasting no time, and opens the pit release up with the rear end of Avalanche, as the Behemoth monster is taking Avalanche on a trip it will remember, as Behemoth lifts up Avalanche more, and holds it over the pit in a very Scottish Fictional kind of way, before dropping Avalanche down 6 feet, into a cloud of smoke.

Cease

Avalanche, attacked at the start, and never got away. Pitted within 20 seconds of the fight. Behemoth moves onto the heat final.

Heat L Final Draw
Behemoth (27) vs. Take me Out.
