AJWars: Another Era

quote:

Kane, am I right in thinking heating the gas bottle is not allowed in combat? I saw this about heating the ram, and presume the same applies.Absolutely, actively heating the co2 system is strictly prohibited. But in robotwars plenty of roboteers accidentaly drove their robot up on the flamepit for instance.

We usually calculate our forces in the ram on 750 psi, because we take the pressure drop into account. Most of the time, the first hit/flip is the strongest, from then on everything gets colder and the pressure drops. taking your time between flips is therefore always a good idea.

No problem! With all entries in, here is the Round 1 draw!

Gabriel II vs. Requiem
Liar 2 vs. Nitro-Gene 4.0
Cyrillium 2 vs. Infusion
E Clawdius Unum vs. Aftershock

Tactics and preditions anyone?

Gabriel II vs. Requiem: I believe that the sloped sides of Gabriel II are going to be hell for that drum weapon. Joey to progress.
Liar 2 vs. Nitro-Gene 4.0: Im actually quite glad at this draw, becuase it is remarkably like Tornado vs. Wheely Big Cheese in RW4. My plan is to attack the wheels, lifting them off the ground so I can flip him OOTA.

Cyrillium 2 vs. Infusion: Is this even a match - Infusion to destroy Cyrillium.

E Clawdius Unum vs. Aftershock: Aftershock is quite a hard shape to fight, but Clawdius is quite a hard robot to beat...Ill go for Kody.

GABRIEL II vs. Requiem
I actually think I could be okay here - while the HDPE will probably be ripped away if he gets his drum in, I intend on staying away from the drum, and even if he does get a hit in the Hardox and titanium underneath the HDPE will stay where it is. Ill aim to get around and wedge under the sides or back, or get him in a side-by-side waltz which will scoop him onto the front anyway due to Gabriels shape, go to the wall once I have him on the flipper, and try for the OOTA. One more thing - stay well away from the pit if it is opened, and likewise for the dropout zone.

Liar 2 vs. Nitro-Gene 4.0
Nitro-Gene probably has the better chance of winning this because Liar will have to line up its attack more carefully, but it could go either way.

Cyrillium 2 vs. Infusion
Infusion FTW.

E Clawdius Unum vs. Aftershock
Ill go with Clawdius here, it has the control to make Aftershock throw itself in the pit or assist it in doing so.

Good luck Dan

CYRILIUM 2 vs Infusion

Oh great! After seeing Cyriliums performance against Liar 2, I am seriously scared. My skirts should prevent him from getting under me, and Ill attempt to flip him OOTA. If that doesnt work, Ill either flip him into the pit, or keep flipping him and hope he dies. If that doesnt work, Ill try to run around the arena.

Aaron, please take it easy on me.

AJ, if Robot Wars restarts some day, I hope they use the AJWars Pyramid of Pain as the design.
