I€™ve been out of the writing game since February 06 due to various reasons (college and work), but now it€™s time, the cleaners have been busy cleaning stuff its 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark, and were wearing sunglasses, but now it€™s time for tournament which didn€™t really have a name until Steve posted his tactics, therefore roll-up for the Random Mini Tourny
*Fireworks go up*
Round 1: Fight 1
SYNDOS vs. All Scoop
SYNDOS which stands for Slice N Dice on Steroids, I think, is entered by Richard Southworth, it€™s an invertible box with rounded sides, with extra skirting, 2 wheel drive powers this little pocket-rocket to a max speed of around 5.3 metres per second with it€™s 24 voltage drive system, the bite of this puppy comes from a pretty meaty looking vertical spinning disc at the front, it will try to ram other machines into holding up the white flag to avoid taking on too much damage in the early fights
All Scoop, full name €œAll Scoop and No Stab Make Steve A Dull Boy€Â, which I€™m going to be lazy and call All Scoop is a blue and yellow reverse wedge, with twin weapons of a scoop and a stabbing axe, gas and electric don€™t normally mix, but in this case the explosion is avoided as both work together to scoop and stab other robots to push them towards the arena wall or towards the pit of doom, also known as Brian Butterfield€™s International Hotel, All Scoop has 4 wheel drive to travel at around 6.3 metres per second, so it has the edge over Syndos in speed, and with skirts it shouldn€™t get flipped, however it€™s a big old beast with flat sides, bar an anti-resting spike, so if it gets called broadside, there could be troubles ahead.
Both machines has managed to be driven into the starting squares in the arena, as the control booths rise to give both drivers the view, the announcer starts to count down:
3
2
1

It€™s a fast start from both machines as Syndos starts on it€™s imperial march towards All Scoop which is reversing at top speed towards the pit release button, but is it a wise move from the Scottish machine, as the distance between the 2 machines is getting shorter, as All scoop quickly dives to the right to get away from the front end of Syndos, to avoid damage to the scoop, a quick turn on the controls turns Scoop around as Steve moves towards Syndos, as Richard gets ready for the attack in the slightly slower machine, as both machines come together for the first impact.
All Scoop has gone for the corners of Syndos, but Richard guessed this move and turned to go head-on, as the scoop sparks as the disc hits into the Hardox of the scoop, as Steve fires the scoop, sending Syndos over onto it€™s back, as Steve drives forward to keep onto the rear end as the skirts come down to protect the ground clearance, as the scoop gets underneath, the axe fires for the first time in the battle, but bounces off the top of the Hardox shell of Syndos without leaving any major marks, the wheels are spinning on Syndos as Richard tries to get away from Steve, but it€™s in vain as the 2 wheels have been lifted off the ground as All Scoop turns and heads towards the pit, the axe comes up, as the scoop fires, sending Syndos head-over heels down the pit.
Smoke rises from the hole in the ground, as the announcer announces
Cease.
The 3 points heads towards the All Scoop camp, as Syndos ends up in the pit.
Next time it will be the turn of the other 2 machines in this 4 way league:
