Official Team BriteSpark Tactics and Predictions!

Heat A

Gabriel II v Acronyms FTW

The worst weapon a horizontal crusher like Acronyms FTW could face is a flipper, and that€™s exactly what Gabriel is. Gabriel for an easy win. Sorry Frank.

Cyrilium 2 v Liar 2

Liar 2 to dominate this fight.

Nitro-Gene 4.0 v Intrigue

This is very difficult to call. I like the look of Intrigue, but with limited C02 supply on board against a flipper, I think Nitro-Gene may cause an upset here. But on the other hand, Intrigue could use it€™s front and rear wedges to slam Nitro around the arena€¦. Ummmm€¦ pass?

The Botles Reunited v Weapon Synergy

Hmmm€¦ 5 robots against 4€¦ . Seriously though, Weapon Synergy may be able to outnumber Botles, but they do have 5kg less weight on each segment compared to Steve€™s robots. However, their weak armouring should be no match for Disc and Axe, whilst Ram and Claw can slam them around.

Heat B

D.V.D v Iron Awe 5

Not only can DVD€™s drum damage, but it can also flip. Therefore I think DVD will score a victory here by flipping Iron Awe with the drum, rupturing the C02 supply and rendering its opponent weaponless as it goes to the judges.

Dead Horse Beater v Supreme Glory Omega

Axe vs Axe€¦ basically try and get underneath DHB and drive it into the pit. Maybe use the axe to clamp down on it? This fight could go either way: depends on who gets the lucky hit in.

Shadow Zone Returns v Fire and Ice

SZR to slam Fire and Ice all over the place. Easy win for Kody here.

All Scoop And No Stab Make Steve A Dull Boy v Back to Rock III

I think Steve-o could win this. BtR3€™s weaponry is focused solely on the front of the robot. If Steve can get around the sides of BtR3, then it can win.

Heat C

Worck v Typhoon 2

Typhoonn to be blown away by Worck, who€™s strong armouring deflects the spinner€™s attacks.

The Curse v Nidhogg

The Curse to pwn Nidhogg. That easy.

Turbo Tails v Sheer Heart Attack 2

€˜Do-all with a drum€™ to completely obliterate poor Tails in a turbo manner.

Mega Monsoon v Door Stops

Ram, ram, ram some more. Then to be different ram.

Heat D

Another Night at the Bar v Pure Evil: Revenge Of The Disc

What€¦the€¦ How on Earth am I supposed to attack that? Right, keep the spinning disc at roughly 1800RPM, therefore reducing my kJ output and reducing the chance I will self destruct . Judging from the render, it is possible to attack the wheels from the sides, as the wheels poke out only slightly from the wheel guards. Therefore I will use my spinner against those wheels to try and immobilise Martijn€™s robot. If that does not work, use ANATB€™s width against it by trying to get it to deflect into the pit from any hit it has on me.

The Quaestor v Coinst

The Quaestor FTW.

259 v ISDSFA

259 out in 2.59 seconds.

E Clawdius Unum v Killobite 5.0

Clawdius to triumph via a pitting.

Heat E

Bar-Red v No Objections

Bar-Red to damage No Objections enough to win a close Judges€™ Decision.

Biohazard v Tira III

No srimech? n00b! :wink:. Biohazard to go through.

The May Tracks Has You v Sonic Boom

Sonic Boom was originally designed as an Anti-6isc robot, so beating another one of Frank€™s robots should be OK . The spike/flipper combo of May Tracks is useless against my wheels, so I will drive up his wedge, slam the brakes on and bring the momentum axe over the top and slamming into his flipper. If that fails, be annoying like Stinger .

With or Without You v Whirligig 4.5

Clusterbot vs scary FBS. Hmmm€¦ With or Without You may end up with or without it€™s armour. Whirly to go through in a shower of sparks and dead clusterbots.

Heat F

Life and Death v MeCannibal 2.0

See €˜With or Without You vs Whirligig 4.5€™ .

Vlad the Impaler v Sakura

Sakura to beat Vlad easily. A few hits to the shell, rupture the C02 supply.

Seung Mina IV v Metal Sonic Spin Dash

Doesnn€™t the flipper look a bit thin on Seung Mina? The flipper to go through anyways, maybe via a JD.

Flick of the Wrist v Dennis the Menace

Spin up the drum to around 7500RPM (should take roughly 3 seconds due to the power in the chainsaw motors and the gearing) and attack. 7mm Titanium is no match here.

Heat G
Haardvark v Storm II

Storm II through sails through.

Gravity v Killotine: EVO

Killotine flipped OOTA (sorry!! ).

Tempest Evil-est-oution v Dervish V

Urgh. Every time Dervish enters a tournament it is pitted against a machine like Tempest. Open the pit and hope to deflect it after it hits my wheels off!

Axe to Fall v Super Gore Evo

Super Gore Evo to pit Axe to Fall in a very quick match.

Heat H
The Darke Destroyer v Ming DieNasty

I€™ll go for Minng Dienasty, as it has the weight advantage and a srimech.

The 6isc v Wedginator 6.0

The 6isc to win.

Razer v Terrorhurtz

I€™m gonna say Razer to win, although if Thz gets a good hit with the axe it could prove telling.

Wedge Devolution v Woodpecker

For this fight I will use the axe mechanism. I aim to get underneath Wedge Devo and use the axe to show aggression and dominance. As stated in the stats, the axe isn€™t there to cause damage per se, but to help it if it goes to a JD.
