Martyn's Robot Wars Series 5

[steven_mcg]

Is this a fight I see before me? :wink:

HEAT C
ROUND 1
CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS (5) VS Firestorm 5 VS Kali
Simple - slip under Firestorms side, pin it to the nearest wall and get Razery on its ass! The shell will have trouble standing up to the crushing arm and if I can get to the flipper rams, then Firestorm is toast

2) Drilla Killa 7 VS Hurricane Hugo VS Squishiest (21)
Against two good pushers, Hugo could end up blown away

[kevin]

Firestorm/CDM to win the first one.
Drilla Killa 7/Spuishest to win second one.

[mrdaves]

Isnt Squishiest the robot where the crusher is underpowered?

[alex_holt]

Go for whomever is easier to go for, lame tactic I know, but kali should be able to outpush them both and turn them over.
