HEAT D
ROUND 3
Die-Ceratops ReInvertus (23) VS WEDGE DEVOLUTION (7)

Curses. I helped make some of Die-Ceratops upgrades.

Not much to do except aim for the rear, charge the corners of the skirts, shove to the ringside and let er flip.

[kodster]

How did Die-Ceratops get SoR on the flipper?! Impossible!

Just kidding.

Wedge Devolution (7) vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus (23)

Heres hoping a repeat performance wont happen. Wedge Devo FTW.

Im not going to wait for Chris tactics, as I didnt before hand. By the way, AJ, I think itll be better if I just put Psyclonised in Heat 5 instead of me waiting for the tactics like in the last tournument.
But enough of that! Heres the Heat 4 Final!

HEAT FINAL:
Wedge Devolution (7) vs. Die-Ceratops ReInvertus (23)

WEDGE DEVOLUTION vs. DIE-CERATOPS REINVERTUS

Booth #1: Steven M
Booth #2: Chris M

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

Both robots accelerate off the starting squares and impacts into each others fronts! Wedge seemed to have the lower front, but he missed his flipping opportunity, and now Die-Ceratops charges around and hits himself into Wedge! The traction on Die-Ceratops allows for him to slam Wedge very hard into the wall, but he doesn€™t seem to have the power or ability to break the skirts! Steven seems to feel safe, and he moves his machine away to the side of the arena, and hits the pit release button, and reverses away into the centre of the arena, and spins himself around to help him slide under Die-Ceratops! The invertible flipper flies over in a 360 flips, but goes into a maddened spin, and BASHES the sides of Wedge, forcing him away from the body of the Dinosaur! Chris now drives out the front of Wedge, but STEVEN GETS UNDERNEATH! Wedge now seems to be wasting no time in hurrying Die-Ceratops towards the arena wall, and flipping! Die-Ceratops€™ design means that it only falls near the wall, and he now pushes into the front-left side AND BREAKS THE SKIRTING ON WEDGE! Wedge flies up in a graceful, twisting and turning somersault, before landing on its nose, and flipping itself back, but after it self-rights, it doesn€™t seem to be moving all that freely on one side. Chris notifies the issue it€™s having, and pushes in once more, and the new power gets under the skirts. This time a 6ft flip, and CRASH! Wedge slams down hard, but still has the ability to self-right once more, and quickly! Die-Ceratops seems to be standing off, but notices that Wedge is still moving, and charges in, but drives onto the flipper on Wedge! Die-Ceratops gets flipped itself by Wedge, but it seems to only be a minor flip. Wedge€™s flipper is trying to lower, but DIE-CERATOPS STORMS UNDER IT! Die-Ceratops is pushing and pushing€¦AND I DON€™T THINK HE€™S GOING TO STOP! Wedge is heading near the arena walls, and Die-Ceratops makes its final flip! Wedge whirls 6ft into the atmosphere and lands facing downwards out the ring, like the dead tortoise that it is!

Result:
Wedge Devolution (7) disproves the saying €œthings were better the old days€!
DIE-CERATOPS REINVERTUS (23) GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!!

Next Time:

HEAT 5

ROUND ONE:
Psyclonised (9) vs. Shrederator vs. Cable
With Or Without You (25) vs. Typhoon 2 vs. M2

Send in tactics, comments, predictions and a cure for bordom

[kodster]

Hey, another awesome fight! Too bad Wedge Devo lost, though.

Psyclonised (9) vs. Shrederator vs. Cable

AJ, I think its time we showed Cable what potent spinners we are.

With Or Without You (25) vs. Typhoon 2 vs. M2

Martijn out. M2 and Typhoon 2 could get the rammer and ram it into the spinner and KO them both. If that fails, I think Typhoon 2 will go out. M2 should be sturdy enough to last the match.

[paulc]

Actually, could anyone give me some info on Shrederator, like internals workings, power of spinner, things like that?

As quoted by Aaron, Runs 4 x D-Pack motors @ 24v, two for weapon, two for drive. Pretty crazy spinner.

What it can do to a robot with titanium armour - http://youtube.com/watch?v=cJnnCf00Cy8&feature=relatedhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=cJnnCf00Cy8&feature=related

Unfortunately, we dont know the EXACT details about Shrederator, but its one MEAN spinner. Paired up with another spinner, it should do some damage.

[paulc]

Can I please have some tactics please? AJ, Alex, Dave and Martijn - I NEED YOUR TACTICS! I dont want another hypothetical.

[joey_picus]

Alexs tactics tend to be fairly obvious.

[paulc]

Well, I do need SOME updates. I know Ive worked fine with or with tactics, but it helps if you have some tactics.

OK - The deal is that if I dont get all the tactics by midday today, then Ill do a hypothetical of the heats, just to get it nearly over with.

Thats a bit harsh - Id just do the battles anyway, assuming the tactics. If its really bad, just do a hypo of this one heat, not all of them.
