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

[samuel3764]

Sam: Three robots bite the dust, and only one battle remains until the fight for the grand final! It's time for the robots to throw down yet again! In the next battle, we've got Tempest Evil-est-Oution VS Archangel of the Abyss!!!!

(BATTLE 4!!!)

From Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, Tempest Evil-est-Oution!
Runner-up in C&B 2, but I reckon that it most likely will go all the way.

Michelle: I'm here with the evil machine, Tempest again!
Frank: Oh yeah, veeery evil...
Michelle: Haha. OK, so you are up against... Archangel of the Abyss!
Frank: Augh. Another difficult opponent. Back in the heats, I had to fight MSSD for God's sake. :P
Michelle: Haha. :P Tactics?
Frank: Not much I can do, so spin up before Archangel does and smash into the damn thing until it dies of shock, or whatever.
Michelle: Best of luck.
Frank: Thank you.

Goodness me, it's a cylinder on steroids, with 4 menacing blades of doom attached to a 1000RPM, 83 kJ ring spinner! However... uh, it IS invertible, so maybe the wheels MIGHT be axe or crusher fodder... but again, that's just me. :P
In Heat P: Demolished Spring-BOK, then took out Metal Sonic Spin Dash and Killobite in the heat final.

From Geddington in Northampton, Archangel of the Abyss!
OMG! It's the archangel, and it's sucking me in! HELP!

Michelle: The Archangel is back and ready for carnage, I believe?
Alex: Exactly right.
Michelle: OK, then. You are up against... Tempest Evil-est-Oution!
Alex: Wow, that's it? I thought it was something massive. :P
Michelle: Haha. :P Tactics?
Alex: Spin up and kill it. That's obviously the main thing to do... and after that, throw it into the pit or something.
Michelle: Right then, best of luck to you.
Alex: Ta.

Another cylinder on steroids? Oh boy... this time a walker, with not one, but two spinning flywheels that spin at insane speeds! These flywheels will cause some critical damage to another opponent if they come into contact with another robot, and also it's quite fast for a walker with a decent 12mph top speed, as well. However, 12mph IS still a little bit on the slow side, don't forget.
In Heat C: KO'ed Another Night At the Bar and Sithis, and finally took out a very tough machine, Psyclonised to win the heat.

Roboteers, Stand By

Booth 1: Tempest Evil-est-Oution
Booth 2: Archangel of the Abyss

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

Here we go again, with yet another battle of the spinners. Archangel is slightly the faster to spin up, but now, Tempest has gotten up to full speed as well! Both robots collide with each other in a mad showdown!
KERRASH!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!! Both bots go flying out of control, there, and Archangel immediately recovers from that attack and rams itself right into the pit button, and the pit opens. Now both bots spin up their weapons... and now the two robots crash into each other with massive force again!
CRASH!!!!!!
OH!!! That's one hell of a hit! Both bots go flying in a massive flurry of sparks there, and now, Tempest lands... very, very close to the pit, and almost in... but it just BARELY gets away. Archangel could've had it if Tempest plummeted into the pit, but no, it did not happen! Anyway, now both bots spin up, and they are coming in for the kill once again!
CRASH!!!!!
WOAH!!!! That sends both bots flying into submission! Now, Archangel is okay, but Tempest is very near the saws... and Frank drives Tempest away just in time! Now, both bots still go for the jugular, and they crash into each other once again, the weapons spun up to full speed!
CRASH!!!!
Both bots go flying yet AGAIN, and the funny thing is that they are still okay even after they have exchanged extremely violent blows with each other! This is a good battle in the making so far... now, Tempest was a champion in the Vapourbot Grand Championships, and also runner up in Crash & Burn 2, don't forget... but now, Archangel starts scuttling towards Tempest again, and at the same time, Tempest is spinning up! Now, both bots crash into each other again, there!
CRASH!!!!!!
OHH!!! Both bots produce massive force upon contact and they go spinning away once more, and sparks are just littering the arena floor! Both Frank and Alex in the control booths are looking a bit agitated, right now, but they are doing very well, nonetheless... and this is some wonderful stuff we're seeing here; I'm enjoying this very much as well! Now, both bots come in for the kill weapon to weapon again!
CRASH!!!!!!
WOAH!!! Tempest... landing near the pit again here, but again it gets away! Very good defense there by Frank's machine, I must say. But there is a small scratch made in the ring spinner of Tempest, but it is only superficial, thankfully. However, now the Archangel awaits Tempest, both flywheels spun up to full speed, and what's going to happen? Guess. :P
CRASH!!!!!
Both bots go flying out of control once again there! Now, both bots spin up to speed again, and smashes into each other!
CRASH!!!!
Sparks fly, and both robots also fly! Again, no real damage suffered by any of these robots... but time is running out... there are only 20 seconds left in this battle...
CRASH!!!!!!!!
WOAH HO HO! Both robots go flying for another time! But now, there seems to be damage caused to Tempest... yes there is! There is a not-too-big scratch in the ring spinner there, and now if this goes to a judges decision, (and I've got a feeling it will) then Archangel will score points, but again, considering Tempest can still move freely, the damage is superficial.
10... 9... 8...
Archangel spins up again... and now at the same time, Tempest spins up!
7... 6... 5... 4...
Now both bots crash into each other one last time...
3... 2... 1...

CEASE!!

CRASH!!!!!!

OI! Tempest lands near the pit, and teeters on the edge! But it's all over now. What a fight that was; cheers to both teams!

Round 5 Draws

Intrigue VS Son of Ripper
Whirligig VS Archangel

Tactics, Predictions, and a large can of Diet Coke please.

[corsair_lightning]

IT'S ALIVE AGAIN!!!

Anyway, predictions...

Intrigue VS SoR Hex

I can see SoR's wedge getting under Intrigue's terrible side and rear ground clearance. Intrigue out of here, me thinks.

Whirligig 4.5 VS Archangel of the Abyss

2 evil spinners... I can see Archangel's legs biting the dust here. Stevie and Whirligig through.

[kodster]

It lives. I knew it would.

See, Mark? Tournaments always rise up again, so this is a reason why there's no need for you to bump tournaments and whine that everybody's forgotten about them.

With that said...

Intrigue vs. Son of Ripper Hex

Seeing as Sam largely ignores tactics I'm not even sure why I'm typing this but anyway I'll just rush right at it hoping Sam also ignores my much-too-low-ground-clearance-that-will-probably-prove-my-downfall-this-fight. The nose shouldn't prove too tough for the prongs to get under, and if they miss the nose, they're longer than it if I recall and can reach under the front around the nose, therefore effectively getting under it and having it at my mercy. If I can, I'll try and get some shots in at the exposed wheels, but my main job will be to try and pit the damn thing, so I'll clamp it for most of the time. Whatever rear weapon he chooses shouldn't do too much damage to my 9mm titanium armour either, so that's nice, but I guess he counters that with his 4mm Hardox. Ah well. We should be equal in power and torque as well, so if it comes to a pushing match, my axe shall be a great benefit. The skirt on the axe head will be removed for this fight, by the way.

Whirligig 4.5 vs. ArchAngel of the Abyss

I'll be hiding in the bomb shelter now. :P j/k, ArchAngel's massive weight advantage to pulverize Whirligig.

Good luck Andy, as if you bloody need it. :P

*Cough*Says the person who needs to get back to working on C&B4 And MToD3*Cough*

Well, at least Intrigue's reign of terror isn't over yet.

[kodster]

*Cough*Says the person who needs to get back to working on C&B4 And MToD3*Cough*

Give it a rest, I'll continue those when I feel like it. Sometimes people just aren't as...energetic as you, and you seem to forget that every time we tell you this.

[corsair_lightning]

Well, at least I don't use fictional components in my robots, and blatantly insult people(like I used to).

[kodster]

What exactly does that have to do with my last post? I'd be quite pleased to be enlightened on that.

[corsair_lightning]

I'm trying to point out that if I'm still a worthless idiot(like last time), I'm not as worthless and as much of an idiot as I was back then.

[kodster]

And at what time, since you came back in April, did I say you're a worthless idiot?

And no, what you said there doesn't have anything to do with that post of mine. If you really must know, I was telling you (once again) to be patient. :P

[corsair_lightning]

Oh...

Well, I don't think I've bumped any tournies as of my return... except for me giving tactics and predictions...

And the patience thing might be due to me eating a bunch of sugar. Last night, I had 3 caramel turtles, and well, that's just too much.

But let's follow what you said, and stop posting in here. Samuel will get this done... when he wants to.
