Heres the inspiration ringing again. Im in full mood to finish this now. Well, Ive done most of the stats, I have to.
FROM BRAMFORD, IPSWICH; CHAOS 2
A real veteran, Chaos 2 is the grand champion of Wars 3 and 4; the ONLY robot to be able to defend its title. Its easy to see why as well. This small, nippy machine, powered by two lawn-mower engines, has one of the most feared weapon in the wars...a powerful CO2 powered flipper, capable of flipping a 5 litre oil can into the air. And to get a sense of HOW powerful it is, Chaos 2 was also the first robot to successfully flip another robot out of the arena. At 20 mph, its also one of the fastest robots in the competition, but at only 84 kilos, its easily pushed around, and the Chaos theory could soon cease to exist.
FROM LANGHEY MOOR IN COUNTY DURHAM; FIRESTORM 5
There have been many wedges in Robot Wars, but the most successful of the bunch has got to be this hot robot. Firestorm has been competing since War 3 (and its team had another robot the previous year), and has came 3rd on three occasions. Basically, its wedge shape powers under other robots, and its there that the REAL weapon comes into play, namely a powerful front hindged flipping arm, that can quite literally flip anything, AND I MEAN ANYTHING! Ask Mr Psycho, he found out personally how powerful that flipper was. If Firestorm DOES have a weakness, Id say that its the fact that it only has 2-wheel drive, so it doesnt push easily.
FROM OXFORD IN OXFORDSHIRE; TERRORHURTZ
Perhaps the most successful axe wielding robot of all, Terrorhurtz really does what it says on the tin. Its a terror, it hurts, GET USED TO IT! Terrorhurtz came a respectible 4th in War 6, but had to drop out of War 7 due to the team being unable to get it together in time. This almost trapezium shaped robot is polycarbonate armour, protected by the weapon, a HUGE double-headed axe, not for piercing, but for giving oppodents a heavy battering! Powerful, maybe, but Terrorhurtz is not really the most reliable of robots around.
FROM SOUTHAMPTON; THREE STEGS TO HEAVEN
This robot was a Grand finalist waaay back in Series 3 with Steg-O-Saw-Us. They returned with Steg 2 in Series 4, and this is their most recent machine. It may look a lot like Steg to begin with, what with the low slung, green, block-like body and all, but it becomes apparant that you dont want to get by the tail. Instead of spikes, it has a very nasty cutting blade that can quite literally shred pipe-lines. Its also very persistant, and invertable, but it isnt that reliable.
ROBOTEERS, STAND BY!
Booth 1: Chaos 2 and Terrorhurtz
Booth 2: Firestorm and 3 Stegs
House Robots: Mr Psycho and Shunt
3...2...1...ACTIVATE!
This should be interesting. Chaos 2 charges in right towards Firestorm, and flips it! Is it trying to copy the first flip out of the arena? No, Firestorm self-rights out of the way, but Chaos 2 gives chase. Firestorm gets underneath Chaos 2, but doesnt manage to flip it. Meanwhile, Terrorhurtz is bashing onto 3 Stegs to Heaven. The cutting blade is gnawing, but it is having no effect on the polycarbonate armour at all. The axe of Terrorhurtz, on the other hand, is battering the top of Stegs, with the little red plates falling off. Meanwhile, Firestorm and Chaos 2 are flipping each other back and forth. Firestorm suddenly flips Chaos 2 into Mr Psycho. Down comes the mighty hammer right onto Chaos 2s belly. Ouch! Chaos 2 self-rights, but gets hit on the head for its troubles. Meanwhile, Firestorm comes on the attack of 3 Stegs, flipping it...but is Stegs still moving? Im not too sure. Meanwhile Chaos 2 now attempts an attack on Terrorhurtz...which isnt a wise idea as Terrorhurtz starts pumbling Chaos 2! Crash! Smash! Chaos cant get under Terrorhurtzs low ground clearance. Meanwhile, Shunt is giving 3 Stegs a little nudge...I think 3 Stegs is immobilized. Refbot agrees with me and counts 3 Stegs out. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, youre gone! The steg became extinct. Meanwhile, Terrorhurtz and Firestorm are now ganging up on Chaos 2 here it would seem. Firestorm flips Chaos 2 again. Terrorhurtz gets to pummel Chaos underbelly. Shunt, meanwhile, pushes 3 Stegs onto the floor flipper. Who thinks dinosaurs cant fly? Watch this! 3 Stegs goes flying through the air and crashes down again. Terrorhurtz scoots ahead of it and presses the pit release button. Firestorm is edging Chaos 2 towards the pit, using its flipper to prevent the former double champion from self-righting. Its going to be a sorry end, as Chaos 2 is shoved into the pit.
CEASE!
Firestorm 5 and Terrorhurtz go through.
