Alex Holt sent in his tactics from MSN, so...continuing!

Allanon vs. Whirligig 4.0 vs. FBSDS

Allanon is a rather unusual vapourbot, maybe due to Alex Holt being an unusual creator. It is two FBS bodies joined by top and bottom plates joined to the chassis. Its 18kg shells can go at 1700rpm, but its not the most controlled, and due to its 0.4mm ground clearance, it wont reach its top speed of 25mph any-time soon.
C&BT1: Did not enter.

Whirligig 4.0 is a monster of a vapourbot. Steven McGregor knew what he was doing when he made this. It uses shuffling pads and S28-400s for motivation to 15mph, and its shell weighs 33.72kg! Not only this, but the 2 LEM130s powering the shell can spin the shell at 2000rpm, and dish out 183kJ!!! It has 3 blades on the top, middle, and bottom, so it has enough blades everywhere. It is also a pretty good pusher, and it is invertible.
C&BT1: Defeated by Tengu VII in Heat G.

FBSDS was conceived by Alexander MacWilliams and looks pretty impressive. It 35kg shell, heavier than the other ones in this fight, is powered by an Etek @ 48v, reaching speeds of 3456RPM, so its 18 teeth on the top and bottom will certainly catch opponents off-guard. It can even right itself with its own name panel, and it is shockproofed well.
C&BT1: Did not enter.

Roboteers, stand by...

Houses: Asterix Heroicus and Exa-Gore-Ic: AI. Yay.

ACTIVATE!

Some awesome spinners in this fight and well have an opportunity to see what theyre made of as Whirligig heads in Allanons direction! Allanon is having a hard time moving and FBSDS moves in on Allanon as well. All shells are spinning at full speed and the big collision is coming...!
CRASH!
Whirly reaches Allanon first, but its Allanon who strikes Whirligig with the longer blades! Whirligig bounces away but is unharmed for the moment, and that allows FBSDS to strike!
CRASH!!!
Yep, thats done some damage all right! The left cylinder of Allanon has been smashed, the 5mm boron carbide being crumpled, and Allanon is spun around as the right cylinder starts to spin up. FBSDS is jolted back a bit but is stable. Whirligig is back up to speed and advances on Allanon again, who is still having problems moving around well. And this time, Whirly strikes right where FBSDS left his mark!
CRASH!!!!
WOAH! Talk about spinning force! Allanon has been absolutely trashed by that blow! The left side shell is broken apart, and the rest slides off, revealing a buffet of mechanics and equipment! Whirligig does not spin up to speed but heads for the pit release button, and as Allanon is trying to follow him - to stay alive - FBSDS crashes into Allanon without warning!
CRASH!!!
Allanon keels, as more boron carbide is strewn all over, and his left side drive is blown out completely! The Watcher is clearly afraid to get near these deadly cylinders, but Whirligig isnt too concerned with him right now, and, shell spinning again, is shuffling towards the obviously quailing Allanon, who can only go in circles now, but its FBSDS who smashes him again!
CRASH!!!
If this goes to a judges decision, Allanon might as well quit now as that left side is really destroyed now, and even the exposed wheel looks sad! Whirligig adds to the chaos again.
CRASH!
Allanon isnt out yet! His right side shell was still spinning and the blades caught Whirligig off-guard! And a small nick is seen in Whirlgigs shell, but FBSDS comes in again to obviously complete the destruction of Alex Holts bot.
CRASH!!!
Another hit to the left side, and Allanons left wheel is hammered badly! Not only that, but theyve reached an empty CPZ! Asterix comes flying out and tackles Allanon hard, sending the dual FBS toppling onto his side! Exa-Gore-Ic is also coming on over but it probably wont matter as Asterix has just about ended the match for Allanon. Whirligig isnt satisfied and Allanon is in for more brutalization!
CRASH!!!
Allanons right wheel takes a giant hit! The rubber is ripped, loose, and gone! That, I think, has REALLY done it for Allanon, and The Watcher seems to think so too. FBSDS, however, wont allow The Watcher through, as hes directly in front of the ref! Exa-Gore-Ic tackles FBSDS.
CRASH!
The claws take punishment, but FBSDS is withstood and shoved against the arena wall. The Watcher comes forward...and receives a shot from the arena saws. Whirligig again hits Allanon, determined to shred him to metal toothpicks!
CRASH!!!
The right wheel gets it again, and now devoid of traction and protection it buckles and comes loose, and that same blow sends Allanon spinning right into the corner! Asterix rams Allanon again and puts him against the wall, and The Watcher finally gets the hell over there and counts Allanon out, finally.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

CEASE!

Allanon reaches bar none.
Whirligig 4.0 and FBSDS advance to Round 2!
