At last - the first battle of the Challenge Belt, where the ancient old clash of Steven and AJ occurs once more, this time for the Chain-Mail belt of E.O.T.R experience. Here we go!

MATCH: ONE
Wedge Devolution vs. Rupture

+1>From Glasgow, Scotland, Wedge Devolution!!
-1>Entered by Steven McGregor
Welcome one of the most simplistic but effective vapourbots ever! Itâ‚¬â„¢s a low, sleek 4mm Hardox protected wedge, powered by 2 x LEM130â‚¬â„¢s for 18hp in the drive! 16mph is the speed, and flipping is its need with the classic rear-hinged flipper design The flipper itself is powered by 2 X 80mm high pressure pneumatic rams, each running at 250psi. This should allow Wedge to comfortably flip up to 1000kg at the tips, and performing high 1.5 to 3ft flips on the opposition is highly likely! The 7mm ground clearance is protected on ALL sides by BioHazard style skirts, and a front extension to get under everything from other extensions to skirts! It can self-right easily, but with only 2kg worth of gas on board, it could run out of power quite early!

+1>From Bourne, Lincolnshire, Rupture!!
-1>Entered by AJ
Thereâ‚¬â„¢s about to be an almighty explosion, and itâ‚¬â„¢s coming from Lincolnshire! Rupture adopts a low box shape and also contains a factor that gives it ultimate durability, having been fashioned from nuclear fall-out shelters with a 4mm Hardox monocoque construction front hindged at 45*, deflecting spinner hits and getting right under its opponent. For weapons, it has a lifting arm, around 600mm in width, which is hinged at the rear and runs down the front wedge ending in a flat platform running flush to the ground. It is operated by an S28-400 motor run at 24v and geared at 300:1. The idea is to not produce devastating flips, but something that can keep rolling the opponent over and over. It can lift up to full height in under a second and is designed to last the length of a fight, which is an advantage for fighting flippers. MagMotors provide the drive and 15mph is the speed and 12hp is the power, and the skirts of 5mm Ti/V alloy protect the 10mm clearance, but any more powerful pushers may put pay to it!

Booth #1: Steven M
Booth #2: AJ

Roboteers, stand by!!!

The sound of rubber squealing as Wedge and Rupture have their wheels try to gain grip on the steel floor, as they burst from their starting boxes. Steven moves out, ever so slightly faster than Rupture, and both robots now crash into each other! Wedge is powering on, and seems to have quickly got Rupture back against the wall, and fires the flipperâ‚¬Â¦NO! AJ isnâ‚¬â„¢t on the weaponry, as thus that was a wasted flip! Wedge now pushes on for another attack, but those motors in Rupture pushes on, and now we see that Rupture is under now! AJ pushes on, lifter ready to raise, and surely and properly, Wedge rolls over! The Scot lands on its back, and Rupture now pushes him, but only for a few yards as Wedge fires its great flipper to flick the great Wedge Devolution back onto its wheels, and powers forward to ram its extension against those tough skirtsâ‚¬Â¦UNDER! AND OVER! Up soars Rupture, flying 1.5ft into the air and landing right near Wedge, who is under Rupture once more! Steven is performing another fly-high thrust onto its enemy, before it crashes downâ‚¬Â¦however, this time Rupture rolls away, and drives off as the lifter kicks in, self-righting the flipped robot! Itâ‚¬â„¢s teetering back the right way upâ‚¬Â¦but in storms Wedge to knock it back onto its back! Ruptureâ‚¬â„¢s lifter again erects to full height, and finally we see Rupture back the correct way upwards. Rupture now moves forward, but a stylish turn to the right means that a charging Wedge just powers straight past it, and now AJ puts all the power into those high traction wheels to slam under Stevenâ‚¬â„¢s skirts! The lifter comes in, and over goes Wedge, and now Rupture pushes in across the arena it the direction of the pit release switch! BANG! The pit is released, but so is Wedge - itâ‚¬â„¢s self-righted, and itâ‚¬â„¢s getting away from Rupture! AJ is putting on the speed, but Steven turns aggressive, and spins around, the blade siding underneath Rupture as we see the powerful Rupture being moved across the WreckTaGon by Wedge, as Wedge powers it towards the arena flywheels. BANG! Rupture is flipped over, a skirt torn right offâ‚¬Â¦and now Steven seeks a victory now it has Rupture where it wants itâ‚¬Â¦FLIP! Ruptureâ‚¬â„¢s down and out, and Wedge reverses into the centre of ring and spins in victory!

Result:
Rupture erupts and explodes in a firery fury!
WEDGE DEVOLUTION DEFENDS THE CHALLENGE BELT!!!

Send in tactics, comments, predictions and a reason why its a easy guess on who will win the next battle

**joey_picus** · 27th April 2008, 20:50

PREDICTIONS:
Wedge to break down at the start, however Cyrilium will simultaneously suffer a sixteen ton weight falling on it and killing it, necessitating a rematch.

In the rematch, Cyrilium will last about a minute before being propped up against the wall and thrown out by the Wedge.

**steven_mcg** · 27th April 2008, 20:58

Hooray! One down!

Cyriliums essentially a wheeled Mortis from what the stats tell me. Same tactics as before. Aim for the sides and flip it over. The electric arm will take a second or two to right Cyrilium, so dart to the rear before it can and shove it to the nearest wall for an OOTAing.

Seriously, is it worth predicting?

COUGH*WEDGE DEVO*COUGH

**corsair_lightning** · 28th April 2008, 20:44

Tactics: Ram Wedge Devo, and hope I can keep ramming him, axeing him, and flipping him enough to where it goes to a judges decision. If lucky enough to get under him, run towards the wall and lift him OOTA.
