I broke mine

PREDICTIONS:
Seung Mina (III? I think) to be outmaneuvred by DHB and Nitro-Gene.
Big Nipper out in the other one, Whirligig to demolish the weapon.

[paulc]

Seung Mina VS Nitro-Gene 4.0 VS Dead Horse Beater: Me and Kody have agreed to team-up on Frank, as our combined weaponry power should be enough to thrust DHB OOTA. I also have ultrs tough armour so Frank wont damage my armour, and if I charge at him head-on, I can get under and flip before he gets a chance to fire. Kodys sloped sides prevent a good axe hit. So lets team-up and bring down the robot that doesnt care about dead horses :sad:

Storm 2 VS Big Nipper VS Whirligig 4.5: Big Nipper may survive, and Storm 2 may go out, but I know Whirligig will defo make it into the next round. Its between the two realies to join it, but at the moment Ill go for Storm to go through.

[kodster]

w00t!

Seung Mina III vs. Nitro-Gene 4.0 vs. Dead Horse Beater

Simple, keep flipping Dead Horse Beater to prevent from ever getting an attack in. Not like DHB will do any damage when attacking anyway.

Storm II vs. Big Nipper vs. Whirligig 4.5

Shock exit for Whirligig, as Big Nipper gets the lifter under the ring before he gets hit, and then he and Storm II to keep harassing Whirly, preventing him from spinning up again, and the eventual pitting.

Big Nipper and Storm?

Bugger.

Whirlys a fairly nimble shuffer, so scuttle out of the way of the others to spin up. Once at full speed, target Big Nipper and do what I can to rip those pincers off.

[pcbore]

Question: are there house robots? A standard Robot Wars format says yes there are to me, but going through some of your battles, none are mentioned.

If there are... Im dead anyway, so tactics are to attack the house robots

[samuel3764]

No there arent any house robots. Sorry Frank.

[pcbore]

In that case my tactics are to accidentally drive to the wrong event and invade an FRA event with house robots and attack them

[samuel3764]

Hey guys, here we go again!

From Team Zlayerz, Seung Mina!

Seung Mina is a very good robot with a gigantic flipper that€™s powered by nitrogen. The flipper is able to flip 1400kg! It can€™t really damage the opponent and it has limited gas supply like all the other flippers, though.

From Team Insanity, Nitro-Gene!

Nitro-Gene has a flipper running on a 1000PSI nitrogen tank, and a mean attitude. The flipper is mounted in the very middle of the robot, and is 20cm wide and runs 30cm up the body and produces about 1600 kg of flipping power. However, it is quite fast, so this may mean difficult driving€¦

From Team Bored, Dead Horse Beater!

Dead Horse Beater has got a very nasty axe powered by a 750PSI ram. The axe shaft is made from 5 MM Ti, the axe head is hardox. It also has a picture of a dead horse on the top but the base armour isn€™t strong enough.

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY!

Booth 1: Seung Mina, Nitro-Gene
Booth 2: Dead Horse Beater

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Seung Mina immediately goes after DHB. DHB€™s axe fires and a small dent is made in Seung Mina€™s flipper, but Nitro-Gene comes out of nowhere and flips DHB...
FA-LIP!
€¦just like that! DHB immediately self-rights, but Seung Mina comes in again, and flips DHB over, and now DHB self-rights again. Now, Frank drives its axe right into Seung Mina!
WHACK!
OH! It makes a small hole in the flipper. It€™s a good thing that axe didn€™t hit the CO2 tank, if that was gone, then it would€™ve surely been *plays Super Mario Bros. Game Over song* for them. Now, DHB drives in and Nitro-Gene just slams into it and flips it over, and now, Seung Mina goes after DHB again, and flips it yet again! DHB is in all sorts of trouble right now! Seung Mina presses the pit button, and the pit goes down, but Kody and Paul isn€™t interested in pushing Frank down the pit. They want to flip him out! OH! Nitro-Gene has gotten a hold of DHB and now€¦ DHB is near the wall and yes, after a minute into the combat, Nitro-Gene flips them over and OUT! Shall we, Paul?
FA-LIP!

CEASE!

Dead Horse Beater has jumped the fence (literally)
Seung Mina and Nitro-Gene go through!

[samuel3764]

Entered by Team Bored, Big Nipper!

Big Nipper is Kan-Opener and Complete Control combined. It has a very nice crushing lifter, and it also made two heat finals; one in Robot Wars, and one in C&B2. They won the 2007 UK Championship and it€™s built by the magnificent Mark Lumb, but I€™m not really a fan of those exposed wheels.

Entered by Team Varying Every Day, Storm 2!

Storm 2 almost won the Championship title in Series 7, but lost to Typhoon 2 in the grand final, but they won the World Championships in Robot Wars. They€™ve got an amazing pushing power. However, 23mph top speed may mean difficult driving, and the lifter weapon is almost USELESS!

From Team Braveheart, Whirligig!

Whirligig will whirl you around if you€™re not quick enough to run for your life. It€™s got a nasty spinning ring that spins at 1000RPM and dealing out 100kJ once at full speed. I assume this is enough to shock-kill a shock-proofed opponent, Steve? :wink:

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Big Nipper, Storm 2
Booth 2: Whirligig

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Whirligig starts to spin up to its maximum potential, and goes after Big Nipper! Now, Big Nipper smacks itself right into the already spun-up ring!
CRASH!!!!
OHHHHHH!!!!! Big Nipper€™s claw gets bent totally out of shape! Now, Big Nipper tries to get away, but Storm 2 lifts Big Nipper up with the lifting arm, and buffets it to the arena saws! BZZT! Mmm€¦ Sparksy€¦ Big Nipper escapes but Whirligig spins up again and SMASHES into Big Nipper!
CRASH!!!!!!!!
OHHHHHHHH!!!!! The side panel rips off, exposing the mechanics! Now, Storm 2 slams into Big Nipper and slams it into the wall! Now, Whirligig is at it again, and Steve drives its ring spinner right into the rear end of Big Nipper!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH HO! The wheels rip away from Big Nipper! Now, Big Nipper is in all sorts of trouble right now! Frank is flicking the controls frantically, but nothing will work, so he shakes his head, puts the controls down, and watches in horror as the countdown begins.
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦ 7€¦ 6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦ 3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ OUT!!!
Whirligig spins down and Storm 2 begins to slowly push the beaten Big Nipper onto the pit square, and Whirligig just finishes it off by pressing the pit button.

CEASE!

Big Nipper, nipped in the bud.
Storm 2 and Whirligig go through!
