Robot SMASH!!

Oh, and by the way, if I lose to Clawdius again, I will be VERY cheesed off.

Eliminator 16/32:
E Clawdius Unum v Killobite 5.0

Formerly Clawdius Decimus Murderous, Stevens powerful crushing machine finished 3rd in The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008. Now its back, and up against a fellow crusher in the first round!

Killobite 5.0 is another Razer-esque machine, but this design also incorporates some front lifting forks, like we saw on the Heat C winner Nidhogg.

Booth 1: Steven McGregor
Booth 2: Kody Kunz

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Both bots get off to a flying start, Killobite trying to get around the sides of Clawdius while Steven tries to make an advantage of Kodys weak armouring. The first vapourboteer to get in an onslaught is Steven, powering Clawdius into the side of Killobite 5.0 and attempting to crush into the chassis! But Kody pulls around and manages to get his forks under Clawdius side skirt! Kody lifts Steven up and over, then drives underneath and clamps down on top with his powerful claw, stopping Clawdius getting his srimech into play! The crusher makes a shallow indent in the armour, and Kody takes Steven into the pit release tyre! This should be a walk in the park for Killobite now- it has the struggling Clawdius in its arms and the srimech is doing nothing, but just as they approach the pit Steven falls off the crusher! He quickly self-rights, but Kody was ready and flips him over again before shoving him into the chasm!

ITS OVER ALREADY!

Killobite 5.0 wins the battle of the crushers and goes onto the heat semi-finals!

Coming Next: The final featherweight heat!
Micro-Gore v Katnip

Thats lucky, I was typing the battle and didnt see that post until afterwards!

The Heat Semi-Final Draws will be:
Pure Evil: ROTD v ISDSFA
The Quaestor v Killobite 5.0

**kodster** · 14th April 2008, 21:25

That was for Super Gore Evo, and Aftershock.

Go Killobite!

Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc v ISDSFA

Pure Evil out.

The Quaestor v Killobite 5.0

While its true that I have weak armouring, do remember that the red parts on the CAD is my CHASSIS, which is extremely tough. Its like an exoskeleton. Im not complaining about the battle above as, had Clawdius got the claw into play, he would have got around the chassis and into the armour. The Quaestor here can also get the armour, but not through it, as his axe arm will get in the way by hitting the chassis.

Tactics? Four words: grab, crush, lift, pit.

Micro-Gore vs. Katnip

ALL RIGHT, MY FIRST FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHT! Problem is...Ive never heard of a bot called Katnip. If anybody can give me some info...thatd be nice. Then I can post tactics.

Thats all.

THE QUAESTOR vs. Killobite 5.0
Try an pull a Killertron here - get a grip on Killobites exoskeleton with the axe and try and drag it towards the pit. If he comes in towards me, lower the bodyshell completely and sit there as he tries to get under.

Good luck Kody

I think Katnips on the Roaming Robots site - apparently it was the first real featherweight built in the UK, whic Im sure Vector Of Armageddon and Cunning Plan would dispute.

**kodster** · 14th April 2008, 21:31

If he comes in towards me, lower the bodyshell completely and sit there as he tries to get under.

In that case, when he does that, shove it towards the wall anyway and get the claw in; the claw reaches out further than the forks do.

Thanks Joey, and good luck.

Now, tactics...

Micro-Gore vs. Katnip

Haha, its basically Micro-Gore with horizontal jaws instead of vertical ones. In that case I have the advantage.

Grab the main body and launch it into the pit.

Oh balls...in which case, wear a legionary costume and shout vaguely Latin threats across the booth if he begins getting the claw in

Seriously, if that happens drive away, and good luck pushing something with a silicone rubber coated base.

**kodster** · 14th April 2008, 21:37

Hey, a game of tactical tennis.

Lets see...silicone rubber coated base, eh? Thatll prevent you from moving at all, so Ill basically just bump into you at that and sink the claw in then, and then push you when you start to move.

But seriously, I dont care if I win or lose this one: it should be a good match.

**joey_picus** · 14th April 2008, 21:41

Uh...if that happens...i have a counterplan...wave the axe about. If I do that enough, the god of robotics might detect my plight, and reward me for my devotion to tracks by smiting Killobite with a touch of his hands.

...it was worth a try, wasnt it?

Youre right, it will be a good match, if slightly crazy...
