    Alex, you do know the next heat is actually Slammer/HHISTWT/Panicking/Gigabyte, right? If youre wodering why im not telling htis to steve, I asked him to post tactics for that fight so I wouldnt have to wait on him if I got impatient and wanted to do the fights now after having others wait a long time for the fights, so they wouldnt be held up longer. [Well, this only holds true to interchangable robots, as I can easily write fights without tactics for non interchangable robots.]
    Melee will be written later.

    I havde some bad news. This tourny will be cancelled, I just dont have time for it anymore. It looks like FRA might die after all, with only Mechanical Noise and EnigimaTek to lie back on, as Aaron rarley writes any fights and one writer just isnt good enough to keep FRA alive.
    Oh, and one more thing:

























    DO YOU REALLY THINK I MEANT THAT?!?!

    Haha, just kidding. Sorry if anybody actually fell for it and got too mad.
    And now, to the fight...

    Slammer will be using the wedge setup, I asked Alex over MSN.

    House Robots: Hurricane Hugo and Psycho Cyan Evolved

    3...
    2...
    1...
    ACTIVATE!

    Slammers wedge setup might not prove to be great here, every robot here is invertible! Except for HHISTWT, but that can self right, unless the bar breaks...
    With a evil snicker in his mind, Alex drives Slammer over to HHISTWT, and activates the bottom shrimech, flipping it! HHISTWT goes spiraling out of control, the bar starts hitting the floor again and again taking peices out of it, it bounces off the pit release button and still keeps going! Finally Panicking rams into it and gives it a good slam into the wall! Looks like the torque of Daves bar worked aginst him there, as he just kept going and going and going, and wouldnt stop! But right after HHISTWT is rammed into the wall, it goes berserk again from the inpact! Some of the bar on both ends was taken out from the previous bouncefest, and that isnt helping the berserked control any. Dave sighs and decides enough is enough, and shuts off the blade. HHISTWT lands on its feet, but not for long, as Slammer flips him over!
    Panicking starts pushing it as Dave turns the weapon back on ina attempt to self right, but it cant get back up fast enough as Panickings blazing fast speed has pitted it already.
    HHISTWT Has Hopefully Intered Surley The Western Trails! [Why couldnt it have been HHISETWT to actually make sense, Dave?] Thats one down easily, but will the rest be just as easy?
    Gigabyte sees his chance and grabs Panicking and starts driving towards the pit..but whats this?! Slammer is sneaking up from behind, and flips Gigabyte into the pit...with Panicking still in its grasp!
    CEASE!
    Alex thinks hes won and does a little victory dance by activating the shrimech on bottom and then on top so it rocks back and forth...but our judges disagree! They say since Panicking wasnt technically IN the pit, but in Gigabytes grasp, it will have to face Panicking before going through. As for Gigabyte, well, it bit off more than even a GigaByte could chew, and is out of the melee.
    3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

    Panicking charges out without wasting time and tries to sneak around to Slammers back, but Slammers 2 Wheel Drive allows it to turn quickly and flip it all the way over! Martyn gets angry and tries the side again, not knowing what else to do and is met by Alexs flipper again! Martyn decidess the third times the charm and charges one more time...but you guessed it: flipped again! martyn is getting tired of this game and charges towards the rear with the forks up and clamps down, then takes Slammer to the flipper for a taste of its own medicine:
    The flipper throws both robots high into the air, and Slammers wedge has been bent..as have Panickings lifting forks! Slammer charges to see if it can still get under Panicking, and it can!..but barley, and mainly due to Panickings bent lifting forks, which cant get under Slammer. Slammer drives over to the house robots zone and drops Panicking off. Panicking is fast, But Hurricane Hugo is quicker and slams into Panickings side, which tosses the polycarb side away and sends Panicking spiraling into Psycho Cyan Evolved, who grabs it and lifts it into the discs of death... and the polycarb is chewed off faster than a lawnmower eating corn on the cob! The tyres are torn apart, most of the vunrable electronics are torn out and ripped apart, theres no way Panicking can still move like this, but Hurricane Hugo gives it one more for good measure to tear off the other side of Polycarb, and Martyn resorts to using his horrible english to torture the drivers so no more is done to his creation.
    Panicking Panicked too much! Slammer Slams into the final place of the Bracket One final!

    Bracket 1 Final:
    Dieceratops Re-Invertus VS Chalkie VS MORD2 VS Slammer

    So..how bout them tactics for once

    Yaaawnnn..No! I wasnt slacking off...seriously!

    *runs away from mob chasing with flaming pitchfork and starts writing*

    House Robots: SUNCUST and Psycho Cyan
    3...2...1...ACTIVATE!
    MORD heads out and gets under Chalkie, and speeds right to the arena hammer, which comes dwon on Chalkies corner so hard, the lower-right wheel is and impales it right out! Chalkie drives away, although not that controlled, and tries to push back, but with the lost traction and torque, MORD has the upper hand and slams Chalkie into the saw, which eats away at the armor. MORD is forced to back off, and meanwhile Dieceratops squares off with Slammer, who is using the horizontil claw setup. They charge into each other, and ALex grips the Flipper of Dieceratops just before Dieceratops fires up the flipper! Dieceratops launces its flipper with Slammer still clamped to it, and Slammer counters with activatign the bottom shrimech just as he lands, and Dieceratops is slammed into the floor still attached to Slammer, but just as he hits the floor, he gives Slammer a taste of its own medicine and pops himself back over along with Slammer! After everyone is through cracking up at this small robo-slinky incident, Slammer releases from Dieceratops and Dieceratops tosses Slammer like a pinata that just wont break open, and when Slammer lands, slightly disoreinted from all that previous action and now this, Dieceratops takes the opportunity to flip Slammer OOTA!
    Slammer has been Slammed out of the competition! Who will make it to the final!
    Meanwhile, MORD has slammed Chalkie into the wall and starts chewing away at it with the drum, and continues doing so until forced to back off. The sides have taken quite a beating, and the pit opens, but Chalkie is fighting back, and tries to push MORD into the pit from the side, but accidently screws up the driving and MORD gets under from the rear and pushes Chalkie into the pit!
    Chalkie has has its name chalked up on the losers board! Who will be in the the final, Dieceratops Reinvertus or MORD?
    MORD charges towards Dieceratops now, and Dieceratops charges to meet it, but MORD gets under and slams Dieceratops into the wall, and starts grinding away with the drum! Dieceratops is getting a grounding underbelly and not liking it, so Chris activates the flipper, which places it on top of MORD! Dieceratops drives off and Gives MORD a flip from the side, then quickly drives under again just as MORD lands and flips it OOTA!
    MORD has been destroyed! Dinosaurs will last for quite some time, as Dieceratops Reinvertus goes through!

    Sorry for the delay. Now could you..you know..please stop pointing those flaming pitchforks at me? Theyre starting to burn.

    The Deer vs. Disco 5 vs. Seggy 4.25 vs. Snakebite 4

    House Robots: Psycho Cyan Evolved and Shovearound 2

    3€¦
    2€¦
    1€¦
    ACTIVATE!

    The join fastest Snakebite 4 and Seggy 4.25 are quick to take on each part of Team Raven. Seggy 4.25 (equipped with its scoop) goes to take on Disco 5, while Snakebite 4 heads for The Deer. Disco 5 already has its flywheel spun up to top speed and hurtles it into Seggy 4.25, sending the Team Solarized robot back with a scratch in the steel plate. Meanwhile, Snakebite and The Deer are locked in a deadly embrace and The Deer pushes Snakebite right down the tunnel! Both robots enter the house robot territory and Shovearound 2 is quick to react and gets its lifting forks under Snakebite and lifts it up. The Deer, sensing danger, escapes down the tunnel back to segment one. As it gets back, The Deer witnesses Seggy 4.25 ramming its partner Disco 5 into one of the horizontal saws on the side of the arena. The Deer quickly goes to help out and charges at Seggy 4.25€¦ but Dave quickly moves Seggy out the way and The Deer heads straight into the fully spun up disc of Disco 5! The shear force buckles one of The Deer€™s claws upwards, rendering it completely useless.
    Poor old Snakebite is being pulverised to death in the meantime by the Forge Hammer and the house robots. Seggy 4.25 is now suffering a double team by Disco 5 and The Deer, though. Both Team Raven bots have cornered Seggy and are beating it up with a series of rams and disc attacks. Suddenly, all attention turns to Snakebite 4 who has escaped the house robots and is heading to rejoin the party! Snakebite seems to want revenge on The Deer and immediately gets under it and uses the lifting arm to lean it against the wall. Disco 5 quickly gets involved and pings the disc into the side of Snakebite 4, who gets turned upside down. But this is no problem for the invertible shuffler who turns around and gives Disco 5 a taste of its own medicine with its own spinning bar.
    Seggy 4.25 has used this time to escape and has made a run up at Disco 5, charging it into the sidewall and one of the saws. Meanwhile, Snakebite 4 strikes with its bar again, this time reversing it into the beached The Deer and striking the underbelly, shaking The Deer down back to its wheels with a thump. Almost instantly, Disco 5 replies by walloping its own disc into Snakebite 4, sending it spinning against the arena wall and gets trapped. Disco 5 quickly turns and reverses in at Snakebite getting the wedge under, just as Snakebite had freed itself with its lifting arm. With one swift flip, Snakebite finds itself riding up the wall and teetering over the top and out of the arena. Disco 5 is then joined by a great ram by Seggy 4.25, thumping the blue and yellow robot into the corner. Seggy 4.25 goes for another ram but this time goes flying high up the wedge of Disco 5 and is flipped onto its back. Seggy 4.25 goes for a third ram with its now semi working scoop but just gets a face full of spinning doom once more. Followed by a long push down to the other corner of the arena - Disco 5 seems to be on top of the match up now. Which is more than can be said for The Deer who has been inactive for too long and is finally counted out.

    10€¦9€¦8€¦7€¦6 €¦5€¦4€¦3€¦2â ‚¬Â¦1€¦OUT!

    Now it€™s down to the last two, Seggy 4.25 and Disco 5! Almost just at the right time, the pits in both sections of the arena descend. Seggy 4.25 senses a sneaky victory and pushes Disco 5 straight for the pit, but narrowly misses. Disco 5 slides under and quickly flicks Seggy 4.25 back right way up. With the scoop now facing away from Disco 5, Martyn spins his robot round and launches the disc into the rear end. Disco 5 quickly turns round to perform another quick attack and wedges under Seggy 4.25 and drives it town the tunnel into segment two. Psycho Cyan Evolved and Shovearound 2 are instant to pounce on their new prey like a Frank to a cup of coffee and get stuck in straight away, separating the two robots and dragging them away. But Disco 5 is not in the mood for playing around and simple rolls Psycho Cyan evolved over onto its back! Shovearound is furious and goes to right its house robot team mate, leaving the competitors behind. Seggy 4.25 gets both robots out of danger and pushes Disco 5 back down the tunnel into segment one. Seggy 4.25 in fact goes straight for the pit and misses narrowly for the second time in a mater of moments! In the confusion Disco spins and catches Seggy 4.25, flicking the interchangeable robot into the pit of oblivion.

    CEASE!

    Snakebite 4 is flipped out of the arena, The Deer is immobilised and Seggy 4.25 is pitted leaving Disco 5 to go through!
