Third Place Playoff
Forklift 2 vs. Avarice: Two very new, but very deadly robots. Im not sure who to go for, but Im going for Kody, as he might win on a JD based on damage.

+2>The Final
The May Tracks Has You vs. Nitro-Gene: My plan for the final agianst Frank is to make sure I out-control him, using my greater agility, and then slam his side-skirts, thus breaking them. Then dont waste time - just drive him to the edge of the ring and flip him OOTA.

I think the finishings will be
4.Forklift 2
3.Avarice
2.The May Tracks Has You
1.Nitro-Gene.

Drive under the sides then reverse and flip to tear lumps of rubber out of his wheels. Looking at that overpowered flipper, I do believe hes going to do himself some damage when self righting. Keep doing this until one of three things happens

1) Theres not enough rubber left on Nitro-Gene to effectively run.

2) He dies from flippage.

3) He goes OOTA.

After that, if there are any house robots (I forget, sorry)... ATTACK

May Tracks to win by default

Ive just mad another look at May Tracks stats, and I notice that it has 2 x LEM130s at 46V powering it. I actually have more power, so I think now Ill risk going for the front. IF he under, drive forward, not backwards - that way, he cannot hurt my wheels (Even tough its possibly unlikely for him to anyway)

IF I get under, just flip him over, and prevent from self-righting - Ill just drive behind it, to make sure it self-rights into my flat front. Then Ill flip it OOTA, without a problem.

Good luck for the final, Frank.

By the way *REPAIRS NITRO-GENE* :yawn:

Ummm Paul its had not mad.

thanks for clearing that up Tim, I was clueless

May Tracks is powered at 24 volts. While its true you have more power, actual HP is pretty much over-rated, its who gets under who and traction that counts. Remember, front to front in RW 7, Tornado outpushed Storm 2.

As far as traction goes, I believe tracks wheels. As far as getting under goes, Nitro should be easier to get under than May Tracks. I believe both of those counterbalance the HP defficiency.

Good luck to you as well Paul. I believe a victory here would give Nitro the fastest time from inception to victory ever.
