Challenge Belt

21st March 2008, 22:16

Rightey ho!
MeCannibal returns to challenge Supreme Glory Omega, the winner to take on Flick of the Wrist!

Supreme Glory Omega v MeCannibal 2.0
Lets take a look back at MeCannibals previous battles in the challenge belt...
1)It completely destroyed Crimson Thunder to take the belt
2)But lost to Nidhogg in an intensely close match as one of its shuffle pads took severe damage and stopped working
Looking down upon this match made in hell will be the dreadful grabbing arms of Dead Metal and the hammer of havoc, Mr.Pycho...
This will be the first time in the challenge belt competition that a spinner (in this case, MeCannibal) has come up against an axe (Supreme Glory Omega), so lets get ready for this exciting line-up to get underway!

MeCannibal immediately gets that deadly weapon up to speed and shuffles towards Supreme Glory to try and bring it into play.Closer...closer...
Supreme Glory stays by the arena wall as still as a statue until MeCannibal is just millimeters away, reversing out of trouble!But Paul was expecting the move and doesnt hit the wall as Daniel planned, instead continuing its pursuit of Supreme Glory Omega.Supreme Glory tries again, this time trying to get MeCannibal into the CPZ.But this time he isnt fast enough in making his escape!
CRASH!
The front panel is torn off as MeCannibal goes in and Supreme Glory spins away!But part of Daniels plan has worked- although managing to hit Supreme Glory, MeCannibal has driven into Dead Metals CPZ! The house robot grabs hold with his claws and moves in with its circular saw, while Supreme Glory creeps up and uses its axe!
SLAM!
Daniel hits MeCannibal right where it hurts- in the shufflepad of course! Dead Metal lets go, but MeCannibal cant escape as its now moving on one pad only!It spins up, but the length of Supreme Glorys axe allows it to hit MeCannibals bodywork without having to make contact with the spinner ring.
SLAM!
Daniel brings the axe down again, this time catching the edge of the spinner.Supreme Glory pulls MeCannibal across the arena and onto the pit.Then all Daniel does is stroll to the pit release tyre and watch MeCAnnibal sink slowly out of sight!
CEASE!
MeCannibal is swallowed up by the pit and Supreme Glory Omega gets the glory of holding onto the belt!

Liam can i give you a small bit of advice, if you leave a one line gap between after saying who is fighitng and between the intros for each robot and the start of the fight, it will look better and be easier to read. Other than that your fights are pretty ok.

Supreme Glory Omega v Flick of the Wrist

Martijn makes his debut in the challenge belt competition with Flick of the Wrist, a powerful rambot with lifting spikes that can run both ways up!
Looking on from the CPZs we have Growler, the helldog thats come out of its hell-kennel to partner Matilda, whos ready to let robot fly with that devastating spinner!
Supreme Glory Omega came out of nowhere to take the belt from Worck, and has already made a successful defence of the belt by incapacitating MeCannibal 2.0.
Flick of the Wrist has six wheels, 7mm thick titanium armour and some pretty good lifting spikes, so Supreme Glory Omega is going to have a tough battle ahead of it if Daniel wants that belt for good- as it his third battle, a victory from Supreme Glory Omega today would mean it is the permanent holder of the second belt!No pressure then, Daniel!

Flick of the Wrist is faster off the mark, heading across the arena at a decent speed, unlike its opponent which just edges forward cautiously. Just as Flick of the Wrist gets within axe range Martijn pulls it around and pushes Supreme Glory from the side, lifting it just as the axe crashes down uselessly, a second too late...
But Martijn couldnt be in a better position and rams Supreme Glory into the arena wall, propelling it sideways through the air to land in Matildas CPZ!She isnt best pleased, and wallops him with the flywheel, ripping off the side skirts and the axe head!When Supreme Glory Omega lands Flick of the Wrist is ready and rams it again, letting it slam into the angle grinder before lifting it once more, before dragging it Panic Attack style onto the flame pit!Supreme Glory fires the remnants of the axe helplessly, but to no avail as Flick of the Wrist pushes it back into the CPZ again!
CRASH!
Matildas bum collides with Supreme Glory again, ripping off a side panel and sending it cartwheeling off across the arena floor!It tries to escape from the advancing Flick of the Wrist, but is far too sluggish and Martijn easily shoves the spikes into Dannys innards, so that when it lifts it gives Supreme Glory more damage to think about!
CRASH!
Once again Flick of the Wrist has rammed Supreme Glory into the arena wall, and something fell off then!Flick of the Wrist backs away to watch as refbot comes in to check on Supreme Glory.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!
It seems that the component that fell off was the removable link, and so Daniel is powerless as Matilda thumps Supreme Glory again, this time sending it right OOTA in a graceful arc.
CEASE!
Supreme Glory loses the belt and Flick of the Wrist is the new holder!

Martyn- Ill be sure to do that from now on

Nitro-Gene is going to have another go. See you in the ring Martijn

. My plan is to get under him and flip him all day long. If hes dominating the battle, go for an OOTA.

He might have trouble getting under my skirts, so I feel fine - hes got no skirts which gives me a big advantage over him.

And I think I have the power, as hes trying to get 35hp (???) onto the floor, but is spreading it out onto 6 wheels, which means only half of it is getting down, so he has 17.5hp. I have 36hp coming from 4 motors onto 4 wheels, one motor per wheel, so thats good. Just get under and push/flip him all day long. Try and stick him in a CPZ and hope the house robots do some damage.

Good luck Martijn :wink:

Ill take on the winner with:

Name: Lethal Injection
Shape: Stinger, but with static prongs between the wheels.
Colour: Unpainted.
Weight: 100kgs
Dimensions: L:55cm W:60cm H:45cm
Speed: 18mph
Turning Circle: 0cm
Armour: 9mm titanium on the wheels, 5mm Hardox for the prongs and disc.
Ground Clearance: Ermm.. Being a stinger style axlebot, it doesnt really have one. The prongs are 0mm however.
Movement: 2 stinger style wheels with Vulkanon rubber tyres, with 2 LEM130s and 4 NiCad battlepacks at 24volts.
Weapons: Spinning disc positioned in between the prongs. The idea is that the opponent will be wedged on the prongs then caught by the disc. The disc is powered by a LEM130 at 2000rpm and deals about 60kj.
Scrimech: Invertible

Flick of the Wrist v Nitro-Gene 4.0

Another of Pauls creations returns to the arena in an attempt to reclaim the belt!Nitro-Gene is very experienced in this competition, lets take a look at how its done in the past...
1)Flipped No Objections OOTA to take the belt
2)Beat Cyrilium on a JD to retain the belt
3)Lost the belt to Crimson Thunder when it was pitted.
4)Returned to challenge Nidhogg, but lost...

Watching from the CPZs we have the boxer, Cassius Chrome, and the forever deadly Sir Killalot!

Flick of the Wrist is defending the belt today, and Matrijns robot has a few tricks up its sleeve- Its a six wheel drive and has some pretty deadly diamond-tipped lifting spikes!

Nitro-Gene has the more power, and a 1000 psi nitrogen flipper to boot!There are 2x3kg bottles inside Nitro-Gene, so it can get a decent 25 flips per battle!

Nitro-Gene gets off to a fast start, running in on the attack to try and get Flick of the Wrist OOTA!But Martijn isnt a fool and dodges away, before turning around and ramming Nitro-Gene from the side, using its spikes in the middle position as ramming spikes!It hits Paul hard into the angle grinder, and the sparks fly off Nitro-Gene!Flick of the Wrist then lifts Nitro-Gene, as it was stuck against the wall the spikes could lift by getting stuck on the side and now Martijn pins Nitro-Gene onto the wall! Flick of the Wrist just reverses slightly to let Nitro-Gene fall onto its spikes and then lifts again before carrying Paul over to the pit release tyre! Carefully Martijn manouvers towards the chasm, dropping Nitro-Gene 4.0 into the darkness Panic Attack-Style!
CEASE!
Nitro-Gene never got a chance, Flick of the Wrist retains the challenge belt!

Flick of the Wrist v Lethal Injection

Flick of the Wrists third battle...If Martijn wins this he keps the second belt forever.

Representing the house robot team-Mr. Pyscho and Sgt.Bash!

Flick of the Wrist has already defeated Supreme Glory Omega and Nitro-Gene 4.0, both of which were pretty one-sided fights, it must be said!
So here is its third and possibly final battle in the 2nd challenge belt!

Lethal Injections looks good to me- its a stinger-shaped robot, but with static prongs and a spinning disc instead of a bludgeon.Lets see how effective this original weapon setup will be, and if Lethal Injections bark is louder or much quieter than its bite...

Lethal Injection heads across the arena, speeding up that disc, ready to cause some damage!But Flick of the Wrist is having none of it and speeds straight into them, stopping the disc in its tracks!Flick of the Wrist continues its attack, managing to get its forks around the middle axle of Lethal Injection and lifting it up!It toasts Danny on the flame pit before depositing Lethal Injection into the CPZ!Sgt Bash gets his clal around one of the prongs and squeezes it!
SNAP!
The prong falls away, detaching Lethal Injection from Sgt Bash!Quickly as he can Danny scurries away, only to meet Flick of the Wrist, which pushes him straight into an angle grinder!
CRASH!
Lethal Injection bounces off the angle grinder and finally gets that disc up to speed, swinging it round in a large circle onto Flick of the Wrists rear end!However, the disc does little but chip the titanium and Flick of the Wrist gets under Lethal Injection again, this time ramming it into the pit release tyre!But Martijn cant get the forks around the middle axle again and so cant get a hold on Lethal Injection to put it in the pit.But he manages to lift one of the wheels and tip Lethal Injection onto its side!The wheel spins and Lethal Injection wobbles madly, finall y coming down to earth with a crunch!In the dying seconds of the fight Flick of the Wrist manages to get in underneath Lethal Injectoin and tries to pit it, which it does, but Martijn pits himself at exactly the same time!
CEASE!
Both robots went into the pit at the same time, meaning the fight will go to a judges decision!
Flick of the Wrist: Lethal Injection:
Damage- 2/5 1/5
Aggression- 4/5 2/5
Style- 3/5 4/5
Control- 2/5 3/5
Overall- 11/20 10/20
A single point separates the robots, but all the same Flick of the Wrist becomes the permanent holder of the second challenge belt!
