HEAT H
ROUND 2
1) I.D.S.F.A. VS Salamander III
Franks flipper may give him the edge, I think. I.D.S.F.A. to toss, slice and squash the Salamander.
2) KILLOTINE: EVO VS Storm 2
Hoo boy. Aim for the sides as per and try to jam the axehead in one of the wheel houses. If I get a bullseye, its straight to the Pit for you, mladdo!
At least my skirts and low GC should stop him pulling a Steel Avenger.
If hes easy to toss, then toss is what I shall do. Into the CPZs or over the wall, its all good. And the hardox flipper wedge should give me protection from that disc, so I dont have to be over-cautious in my approach.
My tactic is to keep my disc aimed at him at all times if possible so that he gets mulched if he tries to attack, and charge him when hes off his guard. Do as much damage as I can do without being suicidal. A tough fight but doable. He may be able to flip me, but Im pretty sure my damage potential is far higher.
Next up, two more fights!
IDSFA had an easy time with The Great Cornholio, and then tipped Asterix onto his side.
Salamander III destroyed the innards of Disc-O-Inferno, and to complete the dominance shoved him down the pit.
Roboteers, stand by...
Taki-san is back again, and joining the Rebellion 2 runner-up is Double Big Mac.

Its awn! And its already heating up as IDSFA has rammed Salamander head-on, preventing the disc from reaching its speed anmd dishing out its pain. FLIP! Salamander is inverted! But Salamander is slowly getting the disc up to speed. IDSFA dismisses this chance and gets under Salamander from the back, giving another toss! Alex slows down Salamanders blade, and it only lightly nicks the arena floor. But that sends Salamander back on top of ISDFAs wedge! FLIP! Salamander is shtowed disc-first against the arena wall. Hmm...I cant see an OOTA from that position. Eventually, The Watcher comes over, and shunts IDSFA in the side. Frank gives the thumbs-down and resignedly removes IDSFA from Salamanders backside. Salamander retreats and barely escapes a charge, running a wheel over ISDFAs entire ramp and missing the rear disc. IDSFA backs up, but Salamander again avoids an early ending and swivels around - to meet IDSFAs side!
CRASH!!!
Oh, what a devastating blow! IDSFA just got a huge gash ripped in his 4mm titanium, courtesy of the power of that hardox flywheel from Salamander, and was sent flying! Salamander knows now that the fight is his to win and closes in on his enemy. IDSFA is not quite done yet and scurries away, getting the flipper under the tire and flipping. Salamander is tossed a bit and lands with the disc pointing away. IDSFA moves in again and succeeds in his previous tactic of getting under the backside, but overlate; Salamander slides off the wedge and cuts away past the tip of the wedge. IDSFA follows, but Salamander spins and points the flywheel at him. IDSFA is more cautious, and doesnt want any more damage to be caused. Salamander senses weakness, and advances. IDSFA reverses in turn, but is too late to spin around and flee, and Salamanders disc hits the exposed side again!
CRASH!!!
And pieces of IDSFA are strewn all across the floor! Its almost disgusting, to quote Tim Green. And IDSFA has lost his left wheel drive, and is now moving around back and forth in an arc. Salamander smells the death scent of IDSFA and moves in for the kill.
CRASH!!!
Salamander buries the disc in, and WHOA! One of the rams that powers the lifter is ripped clean out, and is thrown out a little! IDSFA turns around, but the disc is also immobile! Salamander gives him another smash, and the flipper comes loose, dangling by a ram and one of the hinges! IDSFA tries desperately to get away, but its pretty useless if youve only got 2WD...on one side.Salamander delivers the eventual coup-de-grace, tearing through the electronics and mechanics inside. At that, IDSFA becomes imobilized. Without warning, or word from The Watcher, Taki screams out of her CPZ and collides with the wreck, scattering IDSFA pieces all across the floor! Salamander decides to back off, and thinks its better to leave the rest of this to the housies. DBM moves slowly over, and with a great slam of his hammers, he removes the pit release button from the wall...onto the pit, which descends.
Stop destroying our arena! Jeez, even the house bots have turned on me...anyway, Taki carries the smoking heap to the pit, and dumps him in.
CEASE!
IDSFA is now IDSFC, which stands for Indefinitely Destroyed Smoking Farm Compost.
SALAMANDER III ADVANCES TO THE HEAT H FINAL!!
------------
Storm II finally took out the might of Mega Masher 2 and threw him over the fence, adding another OOTA to his scoresheet.
Killotine: EVO won a ridiculously easy fight that couldve gone the other way had Acid Burn got up to speed in time.
Roboteers, stand by...
Its Asterix Heroicus and Exa-Gore-Ic: AI who represent the house bots this time around.

And both robots collide in the arena with a crash. Storm, being the lower, slides under Killotine and carries him to the wall! WHAM! Killotine bounces off the wall and behind Storm, who advances again. He again gets under Killotine, even with the rear skirt with his own and slams Killotine into the reverse wall! Killotine bounces on top of Storm, but burns the top of Storm with his tires, revving up and off of him and positioning for the sides. Storm instead goes and hits the pit release button. Killotine races by the opening pit and gets under the side skirts of Storm. Down comes the axe! AHH! No way! Storm is grapped! And right near the pit too...how sad. Well its too late for Storm as Killotine dumps him in and puts a very surprising and upsetting end to this quick match.
CEASE!
Storm II wasnt even as stormy as Tempest Evil-er-oution.
KILLOTINE: EVO ADVANCES TO THE HEAT H FINAL!!
Heat H Final
Salamander III VS. Killotine: EVO
prediction-time!
tough, tough, tough, though...
Killotine can grab, Killotine can push... it beat Storm II for Petes sake
Salamander is an axlebot though, very hard to catch, very hard to dispose, and very damaging...
giving this to Alex... slightly...
Beating Storm is surprising enough...but that quickly?!
HEAT H
ROUND 3
KILLOTINE: EVO VS Salamander III
Salamanders slippery alright, but if I head for the back of Alexs bot and play the grapple game there, he cant attack and the wheels may even be lifted right off the ground. So, get under its rear, grapple and outpush to the Pit.
The end is in sight, Kody. Dont stop now!
Okay! I wont!
Killotine: EVO took out both of his opponents rather quickly and wants to join his brother Clawdius in the Series Finals.
Salamander III made short work of Disc-O-Inferno before shredding the crap out of IDSFA. Hes the only Holt bot left to attempt a jump at the Series Finals.
Roboteers, stand by...
Tira-san and Double Whamlet dont want to miss this fight at all! Neither do I.

Killotine immediately heads for the pit release button, ramming it directly, and opens the pit, just to make sure that there is a hole to drag Salamander to. Salamander, however, does not intend on getting dragged anywhere, unless its to the Series Final, and smashes Killotines backside! Killotine spins a bit, and is now directly facing Salamander! Salamander is now in a state of whoa nelly! and backs away, but Killotine is too fast and slams against the motionless disc. Perhaps he was too fast, for he overshot his mark and landed himself beside Salamander, turning him! The latter reverses again and gets the disc up to speed! Killotine registers this with a dart to Salamanders side, but, just as swiftly, Salamander turns slightly, pointing the disc at the opposition, and then advances. Killotine reverses and suddenly fires the axe! OH NO! Killotines axe is stuck in one of the holes in the flywheel, and the axe head has been pulled into the disc axle, smashing it off, and jolting Killotine in the process! This looks bad for our Scottish friend...Killotine shakes off the tremor and pushes Salamander into the wall, holding him there, but almost at the edge of the CPZ! Whamlet is nearby and twin-axes the axle of Salamander, nearly missing a tire! Salamander does a nifty little spin, out of Killotines grasp, off of Whamlets scoop and away! Both Killotine and the house bot seem cheesed off at this maneouver, and Whamlet goes out of his CPZ for some revenge! Salamander meets Whamlets charge with a disc blow!
CRASH!!!
AHHHHH!!! Whamlets scoop has been torn right off...but still the lifter that was part of the scoop remains! Tira has had enough of this and comes out, ring spinning lethally. Salamander dodges her charge, and now everybody seems to be picking on Salamander! Alex seems to chuckle at this because none of the house bots nor Killotine are capable of catching and damaging him at this point. Killotine suddenly catches Salamander, and shoves him - TOWARDS THE PIT - NO!!!!!!! AND KILLOTINE NEARLY PUTS HIMSELF IN!!!What an escape! Salamander juts out the right wheel as he was shoved and rolls the other over the pit, and that wheel connected with the floor of the other side! Killotine at that moment had the wedge over, and stopped at the nick of time! Now that the scary part is over, we continue with the fight. Salamander spins up the disc and nearly catches the upraised what-was-once-an-axe bar of Killotine, nicking the wedge instead. Both housies have returned to their CPZs and are eagerly watching the fight. Killotine gets under Salamander again and slams him into the wall! Salamander topples and lands behind Killotine, who cant reverse in time and misses Salamander. Salamander again gets the disc up-to-speed, and finding Killotines rear end rams the flywheel into the corner! OUCH! A gash is ripped on one of the sides, and a panel is bent outwards on the other! Killotine is determined not to lose and so takes a leaf out of his last victims book, using his wedge and power to ram Salamander around. Salamander avoids Tiras CPZ and the flame pit, spinning around and being tilted by another charge from the Scottish bot. The flywheel is now back at full speed and smacks against Killotines side! Another gash! Some sparks! And one cheesed Scotsman.

I keep thinking weve fought before. Aim for anywhere vulnerable away from the weapon and keep flipping.
ORKAS TACTICS
Now, I know Ive faced ETMT before, and Im sure I beat it. Its the old bulldozing, grabbing and flipping technique.
vs Salamander...Flip him around a lot and avoid the disc. Try to OOTA or pit him quickly and uh..that does it. :P
