Ringwraith vs. The Windmill

Hmm€¦it seems that Tim isn€™t the only one in the heat with vague stats, OK, assumption of windmill:

€ Circular shape, wheel pods, invertible and €˜like nothing you€™ve seen before€™ don€™t precisely help me picture how this thing is going to fight. I€™m therefore assuming this machine is an invertible very short cylinder, four wheel pods sticking out at 90 degrees to each other and a large horizontal circular saw at the front. I really can€™t see how this fits together otherwise.

Also one assumption of Ringwraith

* I am guessing your just stating with the weapon that it has pussycat like shape at points along the weapon rather than just being an extruded version of that shape, as that would be somewhat impractical and ineffectual, thus I€™m writing it to the design of the former.

Both machines whir their weapons up to speed, the roaring of either weapon deafening to the audience. However it is wring wraith that accelerates first, and impacts heavily in the left flank of the Windmill, catching against the front right wheel pod and throwing the whole machine upwards slightly. Windmill wheels away, its wheel pods giving it surprising levels of manoeuvrability. The blade spins up, before darting in against its opponent, dicing a deep slash into the wheels which paralyse the movements of Ringwraith for an instant, however it spins across its own axis, its weapon throbbing with might, and then collides, obliterating the skirt from one of the wheel pods before maiming the wheel itself. A humble clicking hinting at life within the motors, however the frame itself is jarred. The robot is seemingly incapacitated for the most part, however, it still has enough power in the wheels to spin the robot frantically around on the spot, the still whirring saw making approach extremely hazardous.

Ringwraith knows however that there are only two ways out of this - through victory or failure, there is no judges decision, and Richard sends his machine careening forward into its foe, splintering the deadly disc of its foe, as it explodes in a brilliant shower of sunlight yellow sparks and metal shards, the force of the push continuing, and Ringwraith pushes its foe headlong into the pit.

Ringwraith advances to the heat final.
