LOL, didnt need tactics for Seung Mina to win her heat! Beautiful! I owe you Kane (and Dave) for taking out Whirligig.
Oh, Super Gore Evo will use the clamping claws (flat-edged) for this one. Theyre better suited for gripping rather than trying to pierce strong armour, and so can grab an opponent and hold onto them far more easily.
Main tactics: Grab Daves bot and shunt it into MeCannibal.
Heat D:Round 1, Battle 2
Super Gore Evo v MeCannibal 2.0 v Its the Last Thing on my Mind
The very last round one melee of the tournament!
The house robots had another disagreement.This time it was over who WOULDNT go into the arena, as the three bots in there look like house robot killers!Eventually Cassius Chrome took a blow to the head from Pyscho and was pushed in, and Shunt was flipped by Matilda and dumped into the CPZ by a cackling Killalot!
Super Gore Evo is a tracked robot that is invertible and uses some powerful horizontal cushing arms, ala Kan Opener.There are two types of arms, the clampers and the piercers, but Kody has opted to use his clampers in this round.Lets see how that decision will effect him in this match...
MeCannibal 2.0 is another robot allowed a weight bonus, but this time its because its a shufflebot. Its another FBS (Ive had a surprising amount in this tourney, many of them shufflers), so watch out!
(Deep Breath)Its the Last Thing on my Mind will be referred to as ITLTOMM for the rest of the competition because I really cant be bothered to keep typing that mouthful!
Booth 1:Kody Kunz, Paul Cuomo
Booth 2avid Sheppard
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
MeCannibal spins up while Super Gore chases after ITLTOMM, getting its clampers around the rear!Carefully Kody lines up with MeCannibal, then slams ITLTOMM into Pauls whirling dervish!
CRASH!
ITLTOMM is flipped over by the hit, and now reverses the weapon to try and attack Super Gore Evo. But its too slow as Kody has a firm hold again, and rams ITLTOMM into MeCannibal again!
CRASH!
ITLTOMM gets another flying lesson and lands in Cassius Chromes CPZ!The boxer wiggles his bum and does no damage whatsoever, but still shoves ITLTOMM out of the CPZ.
This time Dave spins up on time and goes to attack MeCannibal!
CRASH!
Both bots collide with their weapons at full speed, and ITLTOMM spins away across the arena floor!
Taking advantage of MeCannibals momentary stillness Kody drives in and clamps Paul!
ITLTOMM helpfully presses the pit release tyre while Kody drags MeCannibal towards the pit!
POOF!
Smoke rises from the pit as MeCannibal lies broken inside!
CEASE!
What a turn around!Super Gore Evo and ITLTOMM go through!
The round 2 line-ups will be...
Wedge Devolution v Super Gore Evo
Another Night at the Bar v ITLTOMM
Tactics/Predictions?
Wedge Devolution v Super Gore Evo
Agh, nooo...thankfully, Super Gore Evo is pretty low to the ground, and heavier, so maybe Steve wont be so successful with an OOTA.
Piercing claws here. Tiberius 3 could pierce TANs 5mm Hardox. I should be able to get Wedge Devos 4mm Hardox. Grab, sink in the claws, DONT LET GO, PIT!!!
Hmm, tricky.
Lure it towards the walls, get around the rear and flip it against the wall. Toss it out the ring before it can get back on the ground. If worst comes to worst, get around the rear and try to flick it into the pit.
Heat D:Round 2, Battle 1
Wedge Devolution v Super Gore Evo
A much anticipated heat semi-final gets underway!!
The house robots has another debate, which ended in a casualty of the Robot Wars technical team!
Derek Foxwell broke a nail! argggh
Wedge Devolution looked powerful in round one, throwing Chaos 2 OOTA.Can Steven continue its success here?
Super Gore Evo also looked very powerful, saving ITLTOMM at the last minute and pitting MeCannibal instead.
Booth 1:Steven McGregor
Booth 2:Super Gore Evo
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Super Gore heads for the pit release button, and Steven tries to get in behind to flip it OOTA!
But Kody presses the button before quickly reversing out of there!Wedge Devo follows, and drives into Kody to get the flipper panel underneath, but before Steven hits the button Kody sinks his claws into the side armour!
FLIP!
Both bots rear ends lift up, but when Steven lowers his flipper they go back to the ground!
Kody then attempts to drag Wedge Devo towards the pit!Its a very close tussle, as Wedge Devo is more down on the ground, but Super Gore manages to swing Wedge Devo towards the pit!
FLIP!
Steven tries again, this time throwing Super Gore away! But Kody is relentless and as Steven turns to drive away ahe comes in and pushes Wedge Devo into the chasm!
CEASE!
Wedge Devolution flies the scottish flag as high as it can- just above the level of the pit...
Super Gore Evo goes through to the heat final!
Booth 2:Super Gore Evo
So my vapourbot can drive itself?
w00t for the victory by the way.
Oops
Heat D:Round 2, Battle 2
Another Night at the Bar v ITLTOMM
Two spinners step into the arena, one horizontal one vertical!
The house robots have another spinner in there- MATILDA!Accompanying her will be Growler!
Another Night at the Bar is the horizontal spinner in this bout. Its invertible, and certainly hopes to rip ITLTOMM up!
ITLTOMM has a vertical spinner, shaped like an I. David has already made the final with Calm Down Dear, so Martijn will want to stop him at all costs!
Booth 1:Martijn M Benschop
Booth 2
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Both robots spin up, and head cautiously towards each other. Its all very tentative early on, but Martijn decides to crank up the action and speed in!
CRASH!
ITLTOMM flies over onto its back, and Another Night at the Bar attacks again!
CRASH!
This time Daves machine spins into Growlers CPZ!Hes in the canines mechanical jaws and cant get free!
CRASH!
ITLTOMM is slammed into the angle grinder by growler, and now Martijn comes in to attack again!
CRASH!
ITLTOMM starts spinning wildly, then comes to a halt!
Refbot comes in to check it out.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!
ITLTOMM is out, as the removable link was taken out by Martijns last hit!
Matilda lifts him up and drags ITLTOMM onto the floor flipper!
FLIP!
It bounces along the floor, almost going right out of the arena!
CEASE!
Martijn goes through to the heat final to meet Super Gore Evo!
Good fights, Liam
PREDICTIONS:
...why is there an S up there? Get it out!
ANATB is a wide cylinder that wont be able to maneuver out of the way of Super Gore Evos jaws very easily...Kody to pit ANATB before the bar can do any damage.
Super Gore Evo vs. Another Night at the Bar
Simple tactics here: go for either the weapon axle or the wheels. The spinning bar axle seems the best bet if I can close the pincers around them (which I can
Piercing claws, if you please. They should stand enough punishment from ANatBs weapon if he gets away from my initial charge and gets up to full speed, and then I can grab him by the axle and push him around with ease.
Result: Pit him.
