Bah, crashed out again.

We have now reached the halfway point of the competition, and Heat E is about tk=o get underway!

Eliminator 17/32:
No Objections v Bar-Red

No Objections has been billed by his opponent as one of the best vapourbots this year, so this is sure to be a friendly battle, right?

Think again. This is the 4th Paul/Joey clash of the competition so far, and its 3-0 to Joey. Paul looks up to No Objections, but he hopes to be looking down on it by the end of this bout with his original design Bar-Red!

Booth 1: Joey McConnell
Booth 2: Paul Cuomo

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

Bar-Red starts spinning up, while No Objections does the same! But the Bars reach is longer than No Objections ring, and Paul draws first blood, smashing into Joey and leaving a long scar along one side of the dome! Joey quickly stops spinning while Paul spins back up and gets underneath Bar-Red to lift it over! He does so, and to stop Paul self-righting Joey clamps down on top with his lifting arm! Bar-Red aint going nowhere, so Joey pushes him into the pit release button! The siren wails, but Joey cant get around to push Bar-Red in without giving Paul the time to self-right! To contemplate this Joey stacks Bar-Red on the wall, then tries to flip it OOTA! Bar-Red however, falls off the lifter early on and crashes sideways to the ground, landing on the side of its own bar weapon! Paul tears a chunk out of the arena floor and bounces onto his back! He self-rights, but Joey is ready and gets underneath again, lifting Bar-Red up into the air again to let it come crashing down on its back once more! Now Joey repeats his earlier tactic of pressing down with the lifter and pushes Bar-Red onto the edge of the pit! Paul cant really self-right from here, so Joey does a victory spin and shoves him into the chasm!

WE NOW AWAIT THE SECOND ELIMINATOR!

Joey makes it 4-0 and takes No Objections onto the heat semi-finals!

TACTICS:

BIOHAZARD vs Tira III

Get underneath him and flip him. hopefully hell go spinning around the arena with that disc of his.

As much as I dont mind losing to Joey, this is starting to become an annoyance - 4-0! But Ive still got MeCannibal, Storm 2 and Terrorhurtz to make the semis.

Tactics posted earlier.

Seriously, one hit from Tiras disc should be enough to send Biohazard over for an instant win, even with his giant length and width dimensions.

A much anticipated eliminator is ahead!
Some people are actually going for Mark here, as they believe Tiras lack of a srimech will prove fatal when Kody faces the dreaded lifter of Bio-Hazard! But Kody is not without supporters, and Bio-Hazards titanium armour, flimsy by vapour standards could fall foul of the flywheel....

Eliminator 18/32:
Bio-Hazard v Tira III

Bio-Hazard is a two-time champion of the original robot wars competitions, and a three time champion of Battlebots. Will he be the champion of Robot SMASH!!?

Tira III is another of Kodys creations. So far Mr. Kunzs vapours have not made it past the heat final, but Tira plans to do things differently.

Booth 1: Mark Elam
Booth 2: Kody Kunz

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

Tira immediately spins up, but Bio-Hazard is feeling aggressive and comes in to slam Tira from the side! Its a quick start by Mark, and he lifts Tira as he bashes her into the angle grinder! But Tira falls back onto her wheels and Kody brings the flywheel into play!
CRASH!
Bio-Hazard spins away across the arena floor, but one of the skirts is buckled and bent and he seems to have lost drive in some wheels as mobility is limited when Kody tries to get back into the match! From the buckled side skirt we can see that at least two of the wheels on the left hand side have been mangled by Tiras flywheel, and now Kody comes in on the attack again!
CRASH!
Bio-Hazard is lifted into the air and pirehouttes gracefully before crashing down into the CPZ! Mark is flipped by the spike, and before he can self-right Kody comes in on the attack for the third time!
CRASH!

THE SECOND ELIMINATOR IS OVER!

Tira III defies the bookies favourite and moves on to the heat semi-finals, Bio-Hazard is biologically eliminated!

Eliminator 19/32:
The May Tracks Has You v Sonic Boom

TMTHY is an interesting weapon synergy, utilising a flipper combined with spikes on the wedge to cause some serious tyre damage!

Sonic Boom is an axlebot based on Stinger. The axe has over 800kgs of force when this bot attacks, so watchout!

Booth 1: Frank Goacher
Booth 2: Daniel Stickler

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

Both bots move off into the center of the arena, and Sonic Boom attacks!And misses... This lets Frank get in underneath those 20cm wide wheels, and now Sonic Boom is well and truly stuck on those spikes! TMTHY easily pushes Sonic Boom into the arena wall now, and lets it fly!
CRASH!
Sonic Boom goes sideways onto the angle grinder and comes down to earth with a bump! Daniel comes on the attack of May Tracks again, this time scoring a direct hit on the bodywork of Franks machine! May Tracks is stopped in its tracks for a moment, but then continues as normal and gets Sonic Boom on those spikes again, and this time Frank gets Sonic Boom right up close to the wall at the back of the arena (by the pit release, away from the entry doors) and flips it again!

SONIC BOOM!

Boom goes go the boom, and sonic boom goes Sonic Boom! May Tracks goes through to the heat semi-finals!

Coming Next:
Whirligig 4.5 v With or Without You
