Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

[majinb]

woohoo, Steves back behind his writers desk

Hell Machine VS T.I.R.T.A.S.M. (13)
Go Hell Machine! (for its build by my teammate Dave Weston ), but really, I think this axe/flipper combo has what it takes to take out T.I.R.T.A.S.M.
Another Twist of Fate VS Kali
Given Kalis hard front and AToFs lack of a decent srimech, Alex should be able to pull this off

I will use set up 5 the hardox and rubber scoop. I will ram Hell Machine around and try and pit it

[velociraptor]

Good to see you back, Steven! I pick TIRTASM and Kali to go through.

[pcbore]

Avoid the front and try to hit it in the sides. Would give more info, but Im still in shock at getting to the second round in the first place.

[razerdave]

Ok, Tornado type robot, Nice

Hell Machine is great with box bots. Scoop it up via the sides and back and axe it until it dies, failing that, stack it against the nearest wall with bthe rear arm.

Two Rounds within a week? Who in da zone?

ROUND 2
SEMI-FINAL 1
HELL MACHINE Vs T.I.R.T.A.S.M. (13)

Today, Marty will use the concave-curving horizontal scoop with added flail. This is made of 10mm Hardox and rubber, designed to tackle the most horrible full-body spinners...so why hes using it here is anybodys guess.

Wanting this battle over with as quickly as possible, T.I.R.T.A.S.M. shoots out of its spotlight and careers up the arena into the Void Activator! The siren once again starts pounding into the ears of our poor audience as Hell Machine catches up to the reversing No.13 seed and scrapes underneath the rear! Before Marty gets a chance to blink let along drive off, the NSBFL 3 champions axe snaps down onto the titanium top! Now, the duo are locked together in a pushing match, the two competitors surging back and forth as one attempts to dominate the other! Finally, a particularly hard thrust from T.I.R.T.A.S.M. allows it to break free of the axes grip and dart around to Hell Machines side! As Dave tries to turn around and block this attack, Marty slams his thumb down on the accelerator and shoves the FAR New Blood silver medallist right across the arena into Mr Hydes corner! Spotting the competing machines approach, the Victorian House Robot waits with claws wide open and allows Hell Machine to be slammed into his greasy clutches! However, his crushing arms prove to be too slow on this occasion, as Dave suddenly darts out the Patrol Area, around to T.I.R.T.A.S.M.s side and pins it side-on into the wall just behind them! Not wasting a moment, Mr Weston starts bashing his finger down on his Fire! button and starts hammering down on our No.13 seeds shell! Marty, meanwhile, is desperately trying to wriggle his robot free and as if to make things worse, Mr Hyde trundles to the very edge of his corner and gets a few blows in on the veteran itself! As Daves destroyer backs off for another charge on its rival, the PTT4 Semi-Finalist seizes his chance and shoots away from the wall after Hell Machine! For a moment, the two simply circle one another, until T.I.R.T.A.S.M. proves just the quicker and gets back around to the NSBFL 3 winners side! Just squeezing its hardox n rubber scoop under the 2mm ground clearance, Mr Forsyth goes full throttle and shoves the PTT newbie right across the warzone and into the opposite wall! Davey tries to get back to the main arena for some space, but our No.13 seed simply tries to stop this by dishing out a few more simple rams! Getting his timing right, the Oxfordshire lad waits for the veteran to back off again and dashes away from the fence to freedom! Our two competitors start off their little dance with each other again, which is halted barely a few seconds in after T.I.R.T.A.S.M. knocks into its partner! Word of advice, Marty - dont develop two left feet when literally dancing with the Devil. To exact revenge, Hell Machine manouevres itself back under the No.13 seeds side and clamps down on the lid again with the hammer! That top panel has quite a lot of good dents in it by now, but thats the least of Martyns worries - Dave has just started shoving him in the direction of the Void! Desperately, Mr Forsyth tries to jerk himself free of the axes grip and although he does have the superior pushing power (but not by too much), Hell Machines scoop is far enough underneath it to cut that down to size! After much struggling and jolting, T.I.R.T.A.S.M. is finally dragged to the arena precipice and unceremoniously dumped as Davey Boy retracts his hammer!

CEASE!!!!!

T.I.R.T.A.S.M. goes A.W.O.L., as our 13th seeds plans for conquest end up D.O.A.!
HELL MACHINE GOES THROUGH TO ROUND 3!!!

With the sound of the buzzer, Another Twist of Fate begins revving up that corkscrew shell and nips into the arena centre! Frank carefully tries aiming his creation for Kalis side, but Alexs latest monster proves far too quick to be caught and charges straight into the unusual spinner with a horrible clatter! In a shower of sparks, the duo bounce away from each other! The Stormish newcomer has suffered some slight scarring to its polycarb and ABC armour, but is otherwise sound as a pound! In comparison, Another Twist of Fate has fared worse, with the impact causing the shell to snap to a halt! Immediately, Frank gets the spinner slowly going again and tries to get some space to rev up properly, but Alex isnt having any of it! A burst of speed sees Kali crash back into the Corkscrew/Typhoon hybrid and not only stops the shell again, but gets right under its 10mm ground clearance! Not daring to stop, Alex starts pushing Another Twist of Fate across the ring and just when it looks like theyre going to crash into the nearest barrier, Mr Holt activates his flipping arm and successfully rolls the revolving robot onto its side! In a panic, Frank starts the shell up again, hoping to pull a Ziggo and spin himself upright again...however, the corkscrewed body shape doesnt so much self-right it as let it slowly trundle around in a circle like a wounded Blizzard! Wanting to put the freakish spinner out of its misery, the Grim Beeper swoops across the arena and kicks off the countdown...
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!!!!!!!!!!

CEASE!!!!!

Another Twist of Fate really should have seen that result coming!
KALI GOES THROUGH TO ROUND 3!!!

HELL MACHINE Vs KALI

Thoughts? Tactics? Enjoy Round 2?

Thank you

[razerdave]

I thoroughly enjoyed R2 !

Ok, Kali, another Storm clone but with pneumatics. I dunno if it has skirts, so if not, Ill try and out-maneuver it and scoop it up so I can attack the wheels with the axe. Oh, and avoid the flipper if I can, but I can self right relatively easy, but still, Ill avoid it if I can help it.

[dogbot4000]

Im going to guess kali to win.

[majinb]

I honoustly think Hell Machine can do enough hammering to take Kali out, or do some nice flips or so...

of course Im not completely unbiased since Dave and I are teammates in PTT...

and I do agree with Dave, Hell Machine vs T.I.R.T.A.S.M. was awesome
