I push, Frank moves around a bit and attacks people as well as taking advantage of what I push at him.
Sakura seems a nice shape to fit around my claws, so go for that. If Mr. LOX Box sticks his snout in, feed him to his own teammate.
If Chris has a better idea then Im open for suggestions.
I will get around to doing the 4th fight sometime, I have had an interesting twist for the semi-finals, when the teams spilt to go one on one.
The constantly delayed 4th fight of the tournament:
Paramagnetic Lox Box & Sakura vs. Exa-Gore-Ic & Die-Ro
It€™s the final fight of the first round, and what do we have into the arena today? Is it the Paramagnetic Lox Box or PLB as I shall now be calling it, and yes it is. Joey€™s hexagon shaped machine is powered by some screws which are already making a mess of the floor by moving the semi-fixed grip partials, it has a top speed of 12 mph and some traction with the wedges, however it lacks a weapon and with that lowish top speed it€™s more of a defensive machine not an attacking machine.
Which is where Sakura, Frank€™s full bodied spinner, comes into play, with it€™s mean evil spinning weapon, plus some confetti, however the judges have decided to be spoil-sports and not allow Frank to fill the confetti boxes up with confetti for some ancient by-law. This evil looking spinner has 4 wheel drive, and clocks in as a top speed of 12 mph, but with 360 worth of attack, who would want to risk their front end or sides?
Fighting for the house robots today is Exa-Gore-Ic, this 4 wheel drive machine has a pair of crushing jaws at the front, twinned with a powerful spike to spike other machines, but it€™s weakness of not having a CAD could cost Kody dear in another tournament, but not in this tournament, due to the weight the top speed is only 10 mph, but I have been informed that it gets there rather quickly, will Mr Gore crush it€™s way to victory?
The 4th robot into the arena today is Die-Ro, this 200 kg house robot contains a powerful punching drive, with a wedge with a strange lifting head, which is designed to flip other robots. It has a top speed of 8 mph, but it has some punch from the motors, driving its 2 rear wheels.
The introductions have been done, so therefore, only time will tell whom will win:

Gore is away, and so is Die-Ro, both have punchy drive systems, as Sakura starts to spin, as Joey starts driving around at random trying to draw either house robot in, as Gore comes in towards Sakura, trying to get the spinning machine into the claws to give it a little crush to damage Sakura so that she can€™t spin around anymore. Frank dodges the attack, and spinning around almost makes contact with the side, but Kody dodges the attack and tries to attack Sakura again. Once more Frank€™s expert driving skills are put to the test as he dodges the ramming attack from Gore, but he can€™t attack fast enough to land a blow. Gore drives away and towards PLB.
Meanwhile, PLB and Die-Ro are having a little dance, PLB keeps on dancing away from Die-Ro€™s attacks, but can€™t launch into a counter-attack because it has no weapons, as suddenly Gore slams into PLB, as Die-Ro forces PLB into another dodge. PLB is trapped between the claws, which are slowly crushing PLB, as Kody unloads the spike into PLB, however the Hardox armour doesn€™t give way that easily to the spike, however something pops as the crushing action continues, Kody driving away from Sakura€™s attempt at a sneaky attack, as Kody spins Gore around with PLB still in a killer blow as Frank has to dodge the attack from Gore, but with Die-Ro waiting for Frank.
Frank panics and manages to successfully dodge both Gore and Die-Ro with the spinning body, as Sakura gives chase to Die-Ro. Chris is trying to get away, but he is running out of space in the arena, forcing Die-Ro into making a turn, as Sakura gets first blood and manages to score a direct rip, causing some serious looking damage to the head. Meanwhile Kody has had to release PLB from the claws of Gore, but as soon as he does and PLB drives away, some Hardox panels, fall off the side of PLB, the stress of holding out against the claws has managed to break the joints. Gore now turns and drives towards Die-Ro, which has taken another blow, as Kody almost gets a direct hit onto Sakura, but Frank manages to dodge the attack once more, but Die-Ro is underneath Sakura, but without a working weapon, Chris is annoyed.
Kody slams into the front of Die-Ro, as Sakura gets away, hitting the side of Die-Ro, but Gore is too fast and traps Sakura into the claws, the spinning body coming to a rest as the claws start to crush the machine, causing minor damage to the insides of the claws, but the full crushing power comes into play, as Kody pushes Sakura towards the open pit and drops Frank€™s dangerous spinner down into the pit, not doing any damage to the actual machine, as both Gore and Die-Ro turn to PLB, as Joey is looking worried as Die-Ro takes PLB from the left and Gore takes PLB from the right, the wall behind PLB and the rough section in which Joey makes his escape, crashing onto the raised section, the screws are not getting much grip, as PLB is spun around, the raised ridges causing chaos with the screws, as Gore comes into attack, scooping up PLB in the claws, crushing it a bit more, and driving over the rough section, the wheels making easy work of the soon-to-be-retired arena hazard, driving PLB towards the pit, where Kody drops PLB down the big dark hole with Sakura.
Cease
Sakura and Paramagnetic Lox Box ends up in the pit, Exa-Gore-Ic & Die-Ro go forward to the 2nd round.
Seung Mina IV & Whirligig 4.5 vs. Apocalyptinator and Custard Cream
Nitro-Gene 4 & Alpha-Rex vs. Exa-Gore-Ic & Die-Ro
Tactics, Predictions etc?
Heh, didnt expect that.
Seung Mina IV & Whirligig 4.5 vs. Apocalyptinator and Custard Cream
Oh boy. Go for Apocaly...things sides and try and flip it over. Due to the weight and leverage, Im not so sure that self-righter on Liams HR is going to work.
Nitro-Gene 4.0 & Alpha-Rex vs. Exa-Gore-Ic Evo & Die-Ro
Lets see. Two powerful flippers vs. an invertible bot and, apparently, a bot impossible to get on his back or to strand. Ill go for Alpha-Rex first as its higher and Ill be able to grapple onto it better. Drag to pit immediately. Then...the bot I really wanna kill.
Predictions: David Sheppard to write more w00ty battles.
Tactics:
None at all...
Oh my god, it€™s another fight
Fight against house robots revisited, round 2, fight 1
Due to an arson attack, the Swamp has been destroyed, replacing it is the tried and tested standard Robot Wars arena, with a slightly higher wall and a pit which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Seung Mina IV & Whirligig 4.5 vs. Apocalyptinator and Custard Cream
In the first round, Seung Mina and Whirligig had a tough task against Golden Lotus & Night Stalker, but won the tight judges decision when Seung Mina pitted Night Stalker, but Whirligig took an awful lot of damage. Of which the majority of the damage has been repaired, with Steven working 20 hour days hammering the damaged chassis back into shape, replacing the damaged parts and refitting the shuffling system, however where he has been able to do low-speed tests of the spinning rim, he hasn€™t been able to get it to high speeds due to safety. Seung Mina has been repaired, ready to face the destroyer.
Apocalyptinator smashed Armoury to pieces and Custard Cream sliced Clone of Armoury into two using its powerful slicing sword blade, where once it gets moving, not a lot can stop it swinging.
All 4 robots are in the arena, as its eyes down for a spot of bingo.

Bingo
Apocalyptinator is away, speeding around with Liam€™s gearing for the spinning weapon kicking the motors slowly into play to accelerate it from zero to its top speed, and Whirligig has started to spin as Steven goes into unproven ground as he starts to walk around. Meanwhile Custard Cream is driving around at random, and Seung Mina comes in with a storming attack onto the sides of Apocalyptinator. Liam dodges Kody€™s attack as Custard Cream gives chase towards Seung Mina, but Kody manages to avoid Paul€™s attack. Meanwhile Whirligig is spinning around; a horrible sounding noise is coming from one set of the bearings, as 2 pieces of metal are grinding against each other, as Steve dodges the attack from Apocalyptinator, as Kody attacks Paul€™s house robot on the sides.
The sword fires to prevent Seung Mina from getting under; however it misses as Kody gets in and underneath and fires the flipper sending Custard Cream onto its back, Paul fires the self-righter as Whirligig tries to attack Apocalyptinator, but Liam dodges Steve€™s attack, whose broken bearing has started to glow red hot where the pieces of metal are causing friction by rubbing together, as Apocalyptinator launches into an counter attack, narrowly avoiding a slam from Seung Mina, as Custard Cream is back onto it€™s wheels and chasing Kody€™s machine, Apocalyptinator and Whirligig finally clash horns so to speak, as the vertical disc of Apocalyptinator tosses Whirligig up, as Steve machine lands, the spinning outside making an awful mess of the arena, as Seung Mina attacks Custard Cream again and with a carefully timed flip, sends Custard Cream out of the arena.
Apocalyptinator rams into Whirligig again, sending Steve€™s machine into the air again, as it lands and bounces, some internals come out, Steve looks in horror as Apocalyptinator shows no mercy and slams into Whirligig again, sending parts flying in every direction. Meanwhile Seung Mina slams under the sides of Apocalyptinator and flips it onto it€™s side, where the spikes allow Apocalyptinator to fall, gently straight onto the flipper of Seung Mina, where Kody sets the controls to the heart of the pit, and with a casual flip, sends Apocalyptinator down the large black hole.
Cease
Seung Mina is the star of the show, as his team-mate once more has to rebuild Whirligig before the 1-on-1 fights in the next round. Custard Cream is out of the arena, and Apocalyptinator is down the pit.
The 2nd and final round 2 fight is:
Nitro-Gene 4.0 & Alpha-Rex vs. Exa-Gore-Ic Evo & Die-Ro
Anybody want to give Steve a hand in rebuilding Whirligig for a 2nd time?
Poor Steve.
I guess I will.
Nitro-Gene 4.0 & Alpha-Rex vs. Exa-Gore-Ic Evo & Die-Ro: If Kody is going Alpha-Rex, Ill go after Kody. Even with my power, pushing him may be a bit of an issue, so Ill just attack his sides and flip until hes close enough to the edge, then me and Liam come in, and with our combined 1600kg working in unison, well produce 3200kg, and send Kody out. Then we both gang-up on Chris, and do the same again.
Good luck Kody and Chris.
Additional tactics:
Plead Chris to keep the overweight bot busy while I focus on Alpha-Rex
