My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

[samuel3764]

So here we go with the third heat!!!

From Team Unkown, Psyclonised!

Psyclonized is a ring spinner like Gyrobot, and it is so deadly that it will melt your heart. It€™s also quick and invertible, but as always, being invertible means that axes and crushers can find its tyres.

From Team Iron Diamond, Sithis!

Sithis is a four-wheel drive monster, with a 20kg spinning ring that€™s powered by a E-Tek Motor. It can put out 80kJs at its maximum speed, 2000RPM.

From Team Dinowarrior, Obliteration!

Obliteration will obliterate you if you don€™t run away. It€™s another ring spinner with a tip speed of 1000RPM. It can run both ways up but the wheels are exposed as always, and it€™s got 5mm ground clearence which means it will be food for those nasty flippers.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Psyclonised, Sithis
In the control booth, AJ and Danny are whispering to each other about the battle plan.
Booth 2: Obliteration

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

So, the spinning starts now! The three spinners spin up to full speed, with Danny and AJ teaming up and slams into Chris!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sparks are flying and so does Chris! Chris has crashed into the wall! Now, the three spins up again and crashes into each other with all their might!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris crashes into the wall again, but somethings wrong, this time. Chris is not spinning at all! Oh no! Now, Psyclonised is spinning up again, and hits Obliteration again!
CRASH!!!!
OH! The ring is shredded! Now, Sithis spins up to full speed ahead and crashes into the lifeless body of Chris€™s machine!
CRASH!!
OH!!!! The ring is shredded more! Now, Obliteration is no more, and it€™s safe to say that this fight is already done. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,

CEASE!

Oblieration is obliterated, himself.
Psyclonised and Sithis go through!

Just one question - how did Aftershock attack the internal wheels and gas canister before even ripping away a pannel?

LOL, not to kill off my own win, but Id like to know that too.

[samuel3764]

Aftershock got under Wedga from its rear and shredded the wheel. Then Wedga activated its flipper BEFORE Aftershock got on it and so, Aftershock dug straight into their flipper.

There, I think that made sense.

[pcbore]

Put those sorts of details into your fights.

[kodster]

Frank is right. Although your fights arent too bad, you need to pay attention to detail a little more in them.

OK, time for this 2nd first round match.

From Team Varying Every Day, Another Night At the Bar!

ANATB has a big bar spinner for a weapon, which is powered by a single LEM-130 motor, with 1500RPM speed and is able to give out 75 kJ€¦ but its wheels are exposed to spinning weapons, crushers and axes, and there are TWO in this fight€¦

From Team Bored, The 6Isc!

The 6isc is the barbell-shaped robot we€™ve come to know€¦ and know. It€™s got a 26kg vertical spinning disc powered by a LEM-130 Lynch Motor, and going at 2500RPM. It€™s got weak armour and it€™s invertible so maybe a low disc, axe, or crusher could attack its tyres€¦

From Team Doomforall, ArchAngel of the Abyss!

AOTA is a full body spinner waiting to rip you up to pieces! It€™s got 12mph top speed, which is pretty fast for a walker. Also, this has two spinning rings, both spinning in different directions, the upper layer spins at 1000RPM and the bottom ring spins at an average speed of 1500 to 2500RPM.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: ANATB, 6isc
Booth 2: AOTA

3, 2, 1, ACTIVATE!

So, it€™s spinning time again! The three robots spin up to full speed. ArchAngel and the 6isc crash into each other!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHH!!!!!!! Sparks are flying and both bots go flying as well! Now, ANATB comes out of nowhere and crashes into the 6isc€¦
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
...only to get damaged itself! The ANATB€™s axles are scratched very badly! I think that the 6isc hit the axle, and now look, ANATB€™s axle is scratched! Now, ArchAngel comes in again, and crashes into ANATB€¦ STRAIGHT INTO ITS SIDE!!!
CRASH!!!!!!
OH!!!!!! ArchAngel just rips off a part of the wheel, and ANATB is limping on three wheels€¦
CRASH!!!!!!
€¦well, now there€™s two. ArchAngel crashes into the wheels again and smashes another wheel, and ArchAngel€¦
CRASH!!!
€¦smashes the pit release button. That€™s the second time that this happened! We€™ll have words with you later, Alex! :wink: Why, oh why do the robots keep on wrecking our arena? ArchAngel is now spinning out of control again, and meanwhile, ANATB now spins up to speed again, and hits ArchAngel€¦
CRASH!!!!
€¦ and damages himself again! No offense Martijn but aren€™t you being a bit impulsive right now? ANATB€¦ hang on a minute, is ANATB still mobile? I think ArchAngel may have dislodged something inside of ANATB! ANATB is now counted out.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... OUT!!!!
Now ArchAngel spins down and tackles ANATB down the pit. BOOM! Alex and Frank sigh in relief.

CEASE!

Another Night At The Bar says bye-bye to the competition.
The 6isc and ArchAngel of the Abyss go through!
