Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

[kodster]

Great fight Chris.

Tactics are posted earlier in the thread.

And, once more, were BACK on Battlebots. This time, we have a few more lightweights to play with. Lets check out their vitals before we begin.

Anti Virus 2.0 is the creation of Kody Kunz. Hes basically a ramming box of death, with huge amounts of power and torque for his weight class.

Spin Cycle is your classic thwackbot. The huge momentum hammer swings overhead or spins around to bludgeon robots to death. His creator is long time fanbot-builder AJ.

OK, ring-side.

Introducing first, in the red square to my left...Hes not the most pleasent character to try and befriend, so dont let him get too close, or hell tear out your circuitry, go to the toilet on it and put it back. Hes an infection overdrive; hes...ANTI VIRUS 2.0!!

And his oppodent, in the blue square to my right...First, hell soak you with your own oil. Then hell whirl you around until you throw up, before tossing you up in a soaked mess. Hes the robot that no washing machine would take...SPIN CYCLE!!

THE BOX IS LOCKED, THE LIGHTS ARE ON, ITS ROBOT FIGHTING TIME!!

And the lightweights have it on. And its Spin Cycle off to a fast start. But look at the speed of Anti Virus. Not as quick, but still formidable. The hammer of Spin Cycle spins overhead, and hits Anti Virus. Has it done any damage? Not that I can see. Anti Virus is well armed, and now hes trying to push Spin Cycle, perhaps towards the pulveriser. But Spin Cycle is having none of it, and he rides UP Anti Virus wedge. Thats going to be a problem for Anti Virus, being unable to push Spin Cycle properly. However, its also a problem for Spin Cycle...you see, once again, he tries to land an overhead jab, but Anti Virus pushes him aside, towards the wall...but again, he escapes. The two are sort of cancelling each other out here. But this is where Spin Cycle deploys his second weaponary and he starts spinning. And he is achieving some frightening speeds. Hes saying Come on, hit me. I dare you! to Anti Virus. Someones got to give...and Anti Virus is charging forwards...BOOM!! MASSIVE DEFLECTION!! Both bots sent flying! Anti Virus straight into the spike strip, Spin Cycle onto the kill saws...which choose then, of all times, to pop up. I guess that means goodbye to Spin Cycle Junior. The thwackbot moves away towards Anti Virus...hang on, whats happened to Anti Virus? I think his scoop-wedge has got caught underneath the spike strip. Hes stuck. He cant get anywhere. And, unfortunately, that counts as a dead robot in Battlebots terms. Dont argue with me, I didnt make the rules. Theres no way out for Anti Virus, as Spin Cycle just sits back for the countdown.

*BUZZ!*

And thats it. One major hit, and it was all over....

THE WINNER, BY KNOCKOUT, IN THE BLUE SQUARE, SPIN CYCLE!!

Poor Anti Virus. I had high hopes for him.

NEXT TIME: Killoteeny and ROID do battle for the Middleweight class.

Damn spike strips.

Least we have some fights, though.

[dinowarrior]

You still have the rumble to come.

[joey_picus]

Good fights Chris, and even though they come slowly, at least youre consistently slow :P

[dinowarrior]

This tournament is NOT over!

Its just that, right now, Ive got quite a bit of college related work to do. That, and Ill be at Chester Zoo for the entire weekend. So, just to let you know that Im not letting this tournament go just yet.

[dinowarrior]

All right, youve probably figured by now...Im really not in the go for writing at the moment. I have got a LOT of work to do, and as such I dont really have the inspiration to write fights.

Do not, however, read this as Im stopping the tournament, because I dont do that. Ill post some more when and if I find time.
