Um...kill it.
Heat Semi-Final 10/16:
Tira III v Whirligig 4.5
Tira III demolished Bio-Hazard in the eliminator, using the powerful vertical flywheel to good effect.
Steven McGregor has given very detailed tactics for both his eliminator and this match, lets take a look shall we??
v With or Without You) Ummmm..Kill it
v Tira III) Ummmm..Kill it
Clever, not to mention original!
Booth 1: Kody Kunz
Booth 2: Steven McGregor
5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!
Both robots start spinning up, and Whilry gets shuffling as Tira gets rolling! The question here is what can Tira do to Whirligig? There seem to be no apparent weak spots to attack that weak armour, but Tiras armour is also not too great and there is a weak spot- the back!!
Whirly and Tira are getting closer with their weapons now, closer..closer... Tira reverses then comes slamming in at full speed!
CRASH!
Tira flies across the arena, having a vertical disc and wheels compared to its opponents ring spinner and shuffle pads it was too unstable and now lies motionless on its back! Steven spins up again, having received a gash of his own from that attack and slams into Tira again!
CRASH!
Theres a gash in the rear panel, but now the crowd have decided they want to count Tira (whos now bouncing around on that disc) out!
5,4,3,2,1, IMMOBILE!
Whirly celebrates as Tira gets one of her baldes stuck in the mesh of the flame pit, causing herself more damage...
ANOTHER HEAT SEMI-FINAL IS OVER!
Whirligig goes through as Tira is turned turtle!
Coming Next: The first middleweight semi-final!
Life v Doorstop
Special Event
Middleweight Semi-Final 1/2:
Life v Doorstop
Life flipped former Battlebots champion Hazard out of the competition in round one.
Doorstop dealt with Steel Sandwich, pushing it around in a hard battle of the pushers.
Booth 1: Joey McConnell
Booth 2: Frank Goacher
5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!
They both move off the mark quickly, and Doorstop tries to get around the side of Life, but Joey is quicker and gets under Doorstop, throwing it over! Joey pursues Frank and flips Doorstop again, exposing its innards with the flipper high in the air and Doorstop comes ramming in! There could be damage to the inside, but now Joey clamps down with the flipper and struggles against Doorstop, which as managed tp push it into the corner! Theyre both turned over by the spike, and Doorstop escapes before driving under Life and slamming it into the wall to stop it self-righting! 1 attempt, 2 attempts, 3 attempts...
After 6 tries Life gets back on its wheels, but bad news as its now stacked itself on the wall! Doorstop comes ramming in and gets underneath to push Joey across the arena and into the pit release! Its here Joey struggles off the top of Doorstop and flips it again, this time stacking his opponent on the pit release! But the tyre gives way and Doorstop gets back into the action, only to get thrown over again! Life follows up the attack, flipping Doorstop into the corner, where Frank is overturned by the spike! He comes rushing out, but once again Joey comes in, this time getting underneath the side and pushing Doorstop to the side before throwing it onto the rails! Doorstop wobbles, then falls back in! Life comes in on the attack and pushes Doorstop into the angle grinder, but doesnt flip. It seems that Joey has expended all the flippers energy and now these two are very evenly matched! At the end of the bout Doorstop gets in behind Life, under the inverted wedge and pushes it into the angle grinder on the other side.
WE NOW GO TO THE JUDGES!
Life: Doorstop:
Damage: 3/5 2/5
Aggression: 4/5 4/5
Style: 3/5 1/5
Control: 2/5 4/5
Overall: 12/20 11/20
It was an extremely close match, but Life goes on to the middleweight final!
Coming Next: The Heat E Final
The May Tracks Has You v Whirligig 4.5
...guess. :wink:
You know, Im quite inclined to request a grudge match between me and Steve since we seem to be getting drawn against each other so often.
And bah! Curse that Whirligig! Hopefully May Tracks can muck up its plans of destroying it.
Another day, another over-powered ring spinner to face off with :P Although thinking about it I really dont know if Whirly can get its full power into its strikes, pussycat blade shaped teeth dont sound too efficient as theres no single point and no real trauma. Its more likely to slice than to rip and gouge, so its basically an oversized saw blade
Tactics are to go with the wedging under and reversing stratagy to get the spikes into play. The wider area of the shuffle pads compared to wheels means I can get more spikes stuck in, and hopefully can remove an entire shuffle pad doing this, leaving Whirly limping and spinning off centre, which is always bad news for a spinner. Ask Mauler. It might not be the most efficient way of beating Whirly, but itd be one of those moments that makes me regret you cant actually see whats going on in the arena
Good luck Stevey.
Told you Id be baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack...
Heat E Final
The May Tracks Has You v Whirligig 4.5
Lets flashback and see how these two very different designs got this far...
1) May Tracks threw Sonic Boom OOTA
2) Whirligig trashed With or Without You for an easy victory
3) May Tracks dominated No Objections, eventually scoring another OOTA
4) Whirligig 4.5 proved it had power by taking on Tira III and turning Kody onto his back..No srimech, no recovery...
Booth 1: Frank Goacher
Booth 2: Steven McGregor
5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!
Whirly immediately starts spinning up and May Tracks comes forward to meet it! Frank wants to get that wedge under Whirligig, but can he do it when Steven is spinning at full speed? Whirly shuffles away from May Tracks, trying to get that weapon up to full power before impact! But Steven cant delay collision forever and in comes May Tracks!
CRASH!
The next thing we see are some of May Tracks spikes go flying off and Frank being knocked slightly backwards by that blow! His armour has stood up to the hit, but the paint is scratched. Whirly is already spinning up again, but this time Steven is quicker on the attack and gets underneath! But all the right spikes have gone, and May Tracks cant impale the shuffle pads properly as planned! Instead he pushes Steven to the wall and flips Whirligig! Whirly hits the rails and wobbles back into the arena, spinning up again! May Tracks comes in and..
CRASH!
Frank is sent reeling this time, from the pure force of that blow! And as Whirly spins up again theres no response from May Tracks!
5,4,3,2,1, IMMOBILE!
It seems the link was knocked out by that attack and May Tracks is history! Whirligig 4.5 goes through to the series finals to join Liar 2, Supreme Glory Omega, Nidhogg and ISDSFA!
Coming Next: The opening eliminator of Heat F
Life and Death v MeCannibal 2.0
MeCannibal 2.0 vs. Life And Death: 4-0 at the moment, but I plan AT LEAST to make it 4-1 :wink: The advantage with clusterbots is that you can attack from 2 different angles, but the disadvatages are weight and weaponry due to the weight needing to be split out. Life may have issues with its weapon, as if it misses a vital flip, itll fly over instantly! And with Death, the issue is in its weapon as well, as its so powerful, it needs to sacrifice armour.
My advantages are that I have the same amount of weight as they do together, but split I am 50kg heavier than Life and 50kg heavier than Death, and also, my spinning weapon is 30kg in weight, a bit lighter than Whirligig, but I spin at 3000rpm at max, 3 time MORE than Whirligig - who mauled May Tracks despite being an oversized sawblade Im an oversized FLYWHEEL due to my teeth design, so Ill send all 195kj (nearly twice as much as Whirligig) into 1 spot and wreck carnage. Ill target Life, as that flipper looks nasty and if I take it out, Ill score plenty in the damage section.
Tactics for each part:
Life: Attack the sides and rear, where its weakest.
Death: See above
Good luck Joey :wink:
Theres actually a wheelie bar type thing on the back of Life to stop it doing that...thought I mentioned it in the stats somewhere. My tactics are somewhere above, but also involve hoping MeCannibal dies from its own Kj count, as while the 300Kj one was complete insanity, the 195Kj one is only as safe as its chances of instant detonation being less than 100%
Regardless, good luck Paul
