Tactics, avoid the wedge, come in from the side and keep flipping.

[dinowarrior]

Aim for Taki-sans sides. I may be able to flip her AND damage her wheels at the same time. AVOID THAT FLYWHEEL!

[mrdaves]

Ram it, be like a dog and keep on the attack.

[jamesb]

under and out, one flip one kill
four time the force, 5 times the flowrate.... big flips.

[darkguru]

It doesnt sound like i can pincer it, so ill ram the bugger, preferably from the side, see how it likes the taste of the arena walls.

[majinb]

stall that flywheel ASAP, seeing the thing has such a slow acceleration, then drive her crazy with my speed advantage, should be fun...
let feed her some arena walls

Flick of the Wrist will be battling Tira-san soon.

Okay! Here we go!

LET THE ROBOT REBELLION BEGIN!!!

Fight 1

Representing the competitors is Flick of the Wrist, a Tornado-like robot with 6 wheels, an angled rear, 22mph top speed, and B42-500 Mags @ 48v, providing devastating power to provide with its two hardox, diamond-tipped lifting spikes, similar, to Vladiators single one. Hes fought Tira before and was beaten. Hes back for revenge!

TGRR1 - Made it to the semi-finals but was beaten by Tira.

Representing Team Gore is Tira-san, a dangerous redesign of the older version. A hexagonal-yet-pointed-at-the-front shape, she has a spinning disc/inertia similar to the actual weapon, only its purple. When she hits an opponent, sparks fly, only theyre green and purple! She also has a righting mechanism for when shes upended.

TGGR1 - Made it to the finals but was beaten by ArchAngel of the Abyss

Will Tira make it 2-0? Or will Flick of the Wrist avenge his previous loss?

Roboteers, stand by...

The Watcher is the arena, ready to count out the first unlucky robot that goes out of comission.

ACTIVATE!

Off we go! And its Flick, who wants to avoid that deadly spinning flywheel but goes to ram Tira first. Tira glides out of ramming range, and Flick crashes into the wall. Tira moves in again, hungering for some death, but Flick moves away, avoiding the now up-to-speed flywheel. Ooh, this is dangerous...Tira advances on Flick, but Flick, having 7mph more speed than her, avoids her unsuccessful attempts to dish out some pain. Flick then gets an idea and hits the pit release? Hes trying to shove Tira down the pit? NO! Flick is trying to break off the pit release button, and yes its now off! Look at the resourcefulness of Martijn and his robots - hes using our beloved pit release button as a shield to block Tiras attacks! Tira is more cautious now, and its now Tira whos trying to avoid Flicks charges, but it wont be long now, since Flick has better speed and acceleration than Tira does. Eventually, they collide, and the pit release button is smashed away as a burst of colourful sparks litter the arena floor! Flick seizes the opportunity and slides the spikes under Tira, and lifts! Tira finds herself off her wheels, and in a truly frightening situation, but its about to become downright terrifying as Flick lines himself up with an angle grinder far away, and flies at it! Tira is smashed against the grinder and up onto her back, and Flick lands on top of her. He wheels off of her, and tries the spikes again. Then the srimech snaps into play as Tira re-enacts the Cassius display in Series 2, landing gracefully, right-side-up, and right behind Flick! Flick wastes no time, rearing into Tira, and stopping the flywheel before it gets to a dangerous speed. Tira rolls away before being slammed into the arena wall again. WHAT THE?! The Watcher just fell down the pit! Oh, how dreadful...anyway, Tira gets the flywheel back up to speed just as Flick rams her again, and HOLY FLYING METAL BATMAN! What piece of shrapnel just flew across the arena? Its a piece of Flick of the Wrist, all right. Yes, you can see part of the front of the robot has a great gash in it, and that damage was caused by Tira! Flick is spun away and retreats again, trying to find the pit button again, and gets it, but instead of gently turning to keep the button at the front, he accidentally whisks the button away! Tira hurries to get between Flick and the pit release button, Flick hurrying more to GET TO the button. Flick wins the race and again flicks the button, but at Tira this time. Tira smashes the pit button away and Flick rams her immediately, getting under her and lifting her. Oh! Tira is on top of Flick...almost, well, shes on top of him and his spike, and now Tiras flywheel is spinning! If Flick had a mouth, he wouldve been smiling as he turns to face the arena wall again. He rams against it full force and Tira hits the wall with the flywheel.
CRASH!!!
WOAH! Tira goes flying! Sparks go flying! The crowd oohs and ahhs, and Martijn is applying his tactics extremely well right now! And it looks like theyve taken their toll on Tiras weapon! Its completely stopped! The invisible mouth on Flick must a wide grin now, mirroring the one on his builders face as he rams Tira against the wall. Tira bounces back over and wheels away, desperately trying to find a way to win this battle but I dont think theres anything she can do now as Flick chases her down, trying to get those deadly spikes under Tira, and throw this she-devil out of the tournament! Look at this! The Watcher is trying to lift hmself out of the pit! This seems to catch Flicks attention, and he gets under Tira again, and heads to the pit, where The Watcher is stuck. He rams Tira into The Watcher, freeing the ref, but Tira almost falls into the pit! And Flick, backing away, charges again, and Tira is sent down, down, down into her resting place!

CEASE!

Tira flies away to fight another day.
FLICK OF THE WRIST GETS HIS REVENGE AND ADVANCES TO ROUND 2!

Coming up: Wheely Big Cheese 2 VS. Obelix Bulguous
