Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

[steven_mcg]

Two Rounds in two days? A whole MRW Heat posted at one time?! Yes, folks, the end is upon us. But before that: new fight!
(Oh, and no news on the bottle incident, other than our other dances look like theyre going ahead after all. Woo ^^)

HEAT F
ROUND 3
HEAT FINAL
ACHILLES (22) Vs VOLTRONIC (11)

Today, Achilles is going back to its pneumatics set-up.

House Robots - Dulcy and Shellraiser

Roboteers stand by...
3...2...1...
ACTIVATE!!!!!!!!!!

Though away the quicker of the two, Achilles still seems rather weary of its opponent and given its track record, why shouldnt it be? The duo meet up in the middle of the arena and tentatively, they try to outmanouevre one another. Voltronics superior turning ability sees it in good stead here, as the No.11 seed manages to bash into the NSTT Finalists side! However, Stephens having a tough time getting under those skirts as he begins pushing his boxier nemesis across the ring! But as our two competitors get closer to one of the arena walls, the Battlebots arm finally scrapes underneath the No.22 seed! Slowly, Achilles gets lifted up by the skirt...but before Voltronics little spikes can get a grip on it, Alex bucks his machine onto the ground with a flick of his powerful flipper and the former NSBFL champ is free once again! Quickly, Stephen and Matty try to manouevre back under a second time, but Mr Holt is having none of it! As the two start trying to circle each other again, the galvanised Grecian proves too quick for Voltronic and smacks into the No.11 seeds front end! With its spatula just getting under one of the front corners, Alex immediately fires the flipper and throws the invertible Battlebot over onto its back! Stephen attempts to get away for a decent charge, but Achilles is already back underneath the Americans creation, this time from the back end! Digging its wheels into the Hardox floor, Mr Holt outshoves the higher-ranking robot all the way across the warzone and just as they approach the edge of Shellraisers zone, the No.22 seeds arm is activated! Voltronic is sent soaring into the air...and crashes down onto the camera track, its fifth PTT campaign now at an end! Alex prepares to celebrate gaining a second Semi-Finalist, but a sudden ram from Shellraiser puts him off! None too pleased with this lack of respect, Mr Holt twirls his machine around and after slipping under its spike-ridden side, the former NSBFL champ sends the House Robot over onto its back with a combined flip and shunt! Cocky git, innee? :wink:

CEASE!!!!!

Voltronic fails to provide an electrifying performance, as our No.11 seed loses out on the title a fifth time! Shock horror!
ACHILLES (22) GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!!

Congratulations to Alex Holt!

Thank you

[matty_haka]

Maybe Ill end up with no semi this year :P

[razerdave]

I dunno much about the opposition, so Ill just axe and flip whoever comes into contact with me first.

[matt_macdonald]

Hmm, if Danny wants to team up, then I can go after Hell Machine while Supreme Glory Gamma can go after Another Twist of Fate (or I can go after ATOF and Danny can take on HM), either way, make quick work of Hell Machine by grabbing onto it with the pincers and pitting it on the first chance. Then assist Danny in taking out ATOF, try and stop the spin with the claws and then let SGG get a few whacks of it, try and get Another Twist of Fate down the pit as quickly as possible also.

I have decided to use the regular scoop and go for the rear of hypno ram it into the wall it will hopfuly knock it self out if not treat it to a trip to the pit, sorry tony but i think after that i will have to try and pit bits of your cluster bot however i will only pit 2 or 3 the other 2 or 1 i will leave Kali is dangerous and should be avoided

[siphai]

4 Swords VS Hypno Disc VS Kali VS T.I.R.T.A.S.M. (13)

If anything, 4 Swords will not win this. Tonys plan is good, but Hypno Disc is just too fast for those multibots. Plus his disc will probably knock out each of them easily. Kali will most definatly go through though. Not sure about T.I.R.T.A.S.M, though I think he has a good chance too.

[alex_holt]

Go for the parts of the clusters - pitting, as otherwise they could be annoying, hypno has quite a high clearance and should be an each target after this, get round the side so that if I flip it and push it against a wall it cant self right.

[dogbot4000]

Hypno-Disc and the seed to go through and the other one HM and NCS3 and to the answer to the other question because its barely realies going through to semi-finals in these type of tourneys.
