The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

[steven_mcg]

Curse that decent Diesectoralike!

This has been another cracking tournament, Kody, and Im chuffed to make the top 8, especially with such an old, obsolete bot. :wink:

GRAND FINAL
ELIMINATORS
1) Sheer Heart Attack VS S.U.N.C.U.S.T.
This is going to be close, but I can see SUNCUST getting a lucky grip on that drum and casting Martis machine into the pit.

2) Infusion VS Tempest Evil-er-oution (14)
Infusion does its annoying box rush spiel and power through via a judges decision on aggression.

STEVES FINAL 4:
1) S.U.N.C.U.S.T.
2) Infusion
3) Tempest Evil-er-oution (14)
4) Sheer Heart Attack

Likewise, I insist on a spot in C&B3!

Cant wait for C&B3! Cosmic Thunder and Flank Attack will have some stupid armor improvements, finally :P

ok, here I go

Above all, Sheer Heart Attack must avenge A Night at the Bar, SUNUCST did not treat Sheer Heart Attacks teammate very nice . As for the stats, I see something odd straight away. CO2-powered hydraulics... 3000 PSI? CO2 on 3000 PSI? Other than that, SUNCUST looks to be a fine invertible box. Those skirts might help it against wedges, but for my drum, theyre a bless . Ram the skirts with all my might, again, my tracks will remain on the ground, so I can push SUNCUST whenever I like, though not as easy as I could with Flank Attack. When the drum is up to speed, which shouldnt take too long, I cant really see SUNCUST grabbing me from the front, all hell do is damage its own weapon.

Again, use my drive-system to ALWAYS face it with the drum, and from there, mainly go for the skirts, ow, and the pit.

btw, what a lovely final this is... look how diverse the predictions are

Well Martijn, Ive seen a picture of SUNCUST, and the upper jaw is mounted INSIDE the robot and so is the bottom part. So if you charge into the weapon, youll just hit the 12mm Titanium front. Just to point out, I may be wrong

[majinb]

hmkay, do you have a link to this picture by any chance?

also, I never ever said I would drive into the weapon myself Paul, what I said was that IF HE used his weapon on MINE, hed regret it

[majinb]

thank you very much Paul, and Im gonna say it again, Tony shouldnt wanna attack my drum with his weapon while its spinning

[steven_mcg]

Ooh, thats my pic too!

[majinb]

thanks for drawing that jaw further inside to give it more protection to my drum then

Ive forgotten nothing, Aaron. I just didnt mention the wedge because it just doesnt fit into my plans apart from avoid
