OK everyone, settle down. I hope you bought along the tastiest popcorn, because, right here, right now, its time for...

ROBOT WARS EXTREME

And to start, here are some of the best robots in the country, fighting it out in the best battles this side of the galaxy. Its our All Stars Tournament.

Lets welcome our first four bots.


FROM BRIGHTON IN EAST SUSSEX; BIGGER BROTHER
A Robot Wars veteran, first and foremost. The Watts family, its creators, call it A Nightmare In Metal, and its previous winning streak has rightly justified that name. This robot is fast, with armour that most discs bounce off, and an extremely powerful spiked flipper, capabale of, quite literally, doing anyone in. And indeed, this robot has beaten tough robots like Chaos 2, Tornado and Hypno-Disc in its history. However, it is somewhat vulnerable to axes which can pierce its armour. This was a grand finalist and runner up in the fifth series of Robot Wars.

FROM DUBLIN IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND; DIOTOIR
It may look cute and cuddly, but this Irish furball is certainly not fur brained. It is low to the ground with a zerp ground clearance, veru manuverable with a zero turning circle, the spring loaded crushing and flipping shovel is fairly powerful, it has experience, and it has beaten the mighty Tornado in the past. However, the petrol engine and the fur covering make this robot badly flammable!

FROM APPLESTON IN SURREY; KAT 3
This cat has plenty to roar about. A Robot Wars veteran, the team previously competed with a robot called Kater Killer. This bot has been much more successful. Its wedge shape is designed to plow into just about any robot around, and it has an extremely lethal looking axe, which has previously done some very nasty damage. However, the aluminium and polycarbonate armour could be thicker...

FROM LINCON; STINGER
A grand finalist in the fourth series of Robot Wars, Stinger remains one of the most original robots around. This robot is essentially two giant wheels with a very large, VERY dangerous arm, tipped witha nasty bludgeioning spike. It can act as a mace, a spike, an axe, whatever it wants to be, all swinging down at maximum damage. All the electronics, motors ext are mounted in the giant wheels. Nevertheless, said wheels are very vulnerable.

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY.

Booth 1: Bigger Brother, Diotoir.
Booth 2: Kat 3, Stinger.
House Robots: Sir Killalot, Dead Metal.


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

And the first of our All Star battles is off and underway. Stinger, the fastest here, makes a bee-line straight for Kat 3, aiming to hit it with that giant tail-mace-hammer thing...of course, we ALL know what Stingers aim is like. In other words, it totally misses the Kat. Thats no good. Meanwhile, Bigger Brother decides to flip Diotoir. It doesnt quite work, the Irish furball only goes up so far, then crashes back down. If you ask me, Id say these two are the most durable in this melee. The three of them swerve, with Stinger out of the picture for the moment. Kat 3 now swings the axe, and hits Bigger Brother. This is interesting. Ive mentioned before that Bigger Brother is vulnerable to axes, like the one on top of Kat 3, and the weapon has indeed gone through the armour. Kat 3 pulls the axe back, but is flipped by Diotoir. We all adore Diotoir, its been said so many times now. Kat 3 though manages to self-right. The axe works as a Srimech (a Self Righting Mechanism). Meanwhile, Bigger Brother charges, and indeed flips, Stinger, who now whacks something that isnt the floor. The mace whacks Bigger Brother a few more times. This is getting really exciting so far. A lot of experience being shown.

Wooooooo

Ah, Bigger Brother has just hit the pit release button. Maybe its trying to get one or more of its oppodents into the pit. Well, Stinger is closest, and its getting close...Bigger Brother comes in with a little nudge...and Stinger goes into the pit. Bye bye Stinger. Youre no All Star. Now, Bigger Brother goes back to check on Kat 3 and Diotoir, who are having a good old tussle. Bigger Brother lunges underneath...Diotoir, and fires the flipper! Diotoir lands on its back. Now, can Diotoir do anything? It fires the flipper...HA HA! BOTH ITS EYES HAVE FALLEN OFF! Thats about it. Oh, poor Diotoir. It looked so promising earlier on. But its on its back, and it cant do anything. Bigger Brother now attacks Kat 3, whilst Refbot decides that Diotoir has been overturned for too long...

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10!

And Diotoir has been red carded. Now maybe the House Robots can have some fun. Or maybe not, as Bigger Brother quickly darts in, and pushes Diotoir...right into the pit. How kind.

CEASE

Diotoir and Stinger are eliminated.
BIGGER BROTHER AND KAT 3 GO THROUGH...
