Uh...tomorrow as in 00:00 Kuwait time (GMT +3). Its 01:17 now, that should give you an idea...possibly longer if nobody else enters except Kody.
That specific enough? :P
Basically that means by 10:00pm tomorrow for you guys, or 5:00pm for me. :P
When did ObT get a disc?
Give me a few minutes
Chaos has exploded in the pits as a plot hole the size of Canada has opened up sending everybody back to the Victorian era, as Queen Victoria is sitting in the audience waiting for the action, the steam powered sliding doors of the arena slide open with a lot of steam being given off, as a horse-drawn carriage pulls Victorian Woodpecker, with a steam powered axe on top, it has a new style chassis made out of metal, what would Mr Wood make of this new invention, and will it end his strong-hold on the materials market. The very high-tech remote drive system is provided by a strong wire on a spring.
The crowd are awaiting the entry of Opened by Transfer, as everybody in the pits is looking for David, who hasn€™t returned from Prysyr Fllllemllylllylyl yet, he phoned up 2 days ago saying he was leaving the lovely ladies of Maple Street, so he should have been back by now
Queen Victoria is not happy, some might say she isn€™t amused, as the head judge is trying to dial out to the mobile car phone, but keeps getting €œthis is not a valid number, please check and dial again€Â, before the phones rings. €œHello, this is the banker; I€™m offering you £24,000 for your box€Â. Everybody considers this offer for a moment, knowing that £24,000 in this era was worth an awful lot of money, before they say €œdeal€Â.
Meanwhile the phone rings again, as it€™s Team €œdoes anybody really know what the current name of david€™s team is called€Â, there is a barrier, a large dome circling the arena plus local village, there is traffic chaos outside as the train can€™t even get though the barrier.
Back to the battle, it appears that Victorian Woodpecker is though to the final as Opened by Transfer has been closed by barrier and is stuck in the real world when everybody else is stuck in the Victorian era, sent back in time by the gods. Outside the barrier the Banker hands David the £24,000 as they both go off to the pub, to have a Woodpecker Cider.

And off we go...Woodpecker advances towards Opened By Transfer...OH! AND OPENED BY TRANSFER HAS FALLEN OVER!!
OK, I gotta stop talking like JP. As it turns out, what everyone THOUGHT was OBT is, in fact, a cardboard cut-out. Yep, it turns out that OBT still hasnt been located after falling into that plothole. But, as it turns out, Woodpecker is getting really impatient, and decides to look for OBT itself. It storms out of the arena, much to the surprise of Dan who has gone from flicking the controls to smashing it with a sledgehammer in a desperate attempt to get some response. Because the arena is now vacant, the production crew bring in Razer and Iron Awe and make them perform pole-dancing.
Woodpecker, meanwhile, finally arrives in Brazil. After looking in Australia (where it found Nemo) and Tokyo (where it stayed to watch King Kong have an arm wrestling contest with Godzilla), it finally figured this would be the most random place possible...except Antarctica, but who searches there? Unfortunately, a flash flood shows up, with the water full of piranha. Even worse, they have nothing against eating robotics. Miraculously, it manages to survive, but not without losing half its shell.
Meanwhile, back in the arena, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario and Crash Bandicoot are advertising deoderants.
Elsewhere, after being hit by rain, falling branches and bird...stuff, Woodpecker finally decides that itll never be able to find OBT. He turns around to go back home when he trips over a random root and falls into a warpzone that just randomly appeared for no reason.
When he comes out of the other end, he finds himself on the planet of orange fuzzy things, where their great leader Spring-BOK! is about to sacrifice OBT to the gods. Woodpecker manages to defeat the orange furball with the help of a random flamethrower, then literally drags OBT back to the arena.
The two robots arrive back at the arena safe and sound, only to get hit by several custard pies on arrival, as some clowns had been performing for the time being. Luckily, a humanoid vaguely resembling Mega Masher 2 shows up and blasts at them with a machine gun. Now, finally in the arena, the two robots advance on each other.
CEASE!!
As it turns out, the judges had forgotten to stop the clock. Dan has a fit and self-destructs. The judges have to make a decision and, with no replays to look at, they go for the next most reliable method...
Eeny Miney Mony Mer,
O.B.T or Woodpecker,
One of them has to...
...but in the end, they just give up and pick Woodpecker. O.B.T heads off to kill Dave.
WOODPECKER GOES THROUGH.
Lets take an advert break...
SONIC: If your underarms smell of pancakes...
CRASH: Pancakes!
SONIC: ...then this new deoderant is doing its job.
MARIO: Maple Stick, its what all the great-a heros use!
The three of them are seen holding a rabbit and a razor each.
SONIC: So, buy it today, or well shave these bunny rabbits.
The three glare angrily.
SONIC: (whispering harshly) I swear well freakin do it!
THE END
For an underweight robot without motors, its done well to get this far
Technically it does have motors, unless the linear actuators and hydraulic pump run on pixiedust :P
Stop the entering, we have a winner!
All of you wrote some effing weird things, and all of you made me laugh in one way or another. Id like to be able to say it was difficult to choose, but throwing the Victorian era in made Mr Dave Sheppard the clear winner!
Not that it matters much, since everyone had Woodpecker to win :P Woodpecker goes through to the finals.

True
But yay I win the writing contest
Heres the other semi final...absolute female dog to write, but it turned out...well, slightly weird
ROBOTEERS, STAND BY
Booth 1: Martijn Benschop
Booth 2: Leo van Miert

Leo does the very sensible thing and slams Splinters controls straight into reverse, trying to get away from Brown Trousers Time, which advances forward slowly...a pursuit of sorts begins, as Splinter bolts into the corner by the flame pit, which flares up as Brown Trousers Time crosses it in an attempt to close down its prey. Splinter darts across the arena, over the closed pit, and then into the top right CPZ, but seems unable to get away from Brown Trousers Time, which comes in from the left and corners the helpless machine. Leo yells something across to Martijn, who shakes his head and then, laughing menacingly, presses the switch on his controller labelled DOOM.
Almost instantly, the blades on the disc become a blur, as the petrol engine spins the disc up to about a half of its maximum speed, and a screeching howl fills the arena as the air above the weapon begins to distort and flicker, the disc running faster and faster, and Martijn, remembering what happened to Splinter in series 4 against Hypno-Disc, moves in for the kill...
CRASH!
The audience gasps, and in a sudden display of completely out-of-character-could-only-happen-in-fanfic behavior, Leo decides enough is enough and rips the Lexan away from his driving booth with one arm, and supports himself with the other as he somersaults the barrier and lets his body fall through the sky, down towards the gap between Brown Trousers Time and Splinter, in a heroic attempt to protect his beloved robot from the monster threatening it. All he can see is inky blackness as, almost in slow motion, he is drawn towards the centre of the rotating weapon, sixty thousand million revolutions per second screaming in his mind as he is thrown to the rend in time created by the disc...
There is a flash of blinding, pure light, and a sound unlike any ever heard before fills the mind of everyone watching.
Then, the light begins to fade to silence.
...
As Leo comes around, he finds himself sprawled out on a strange surface, feeling oddly tired. Rubbing his eyes, he tries to remember what happened, but as he looks around him, and the darkness begins to leave his field of vision, all there is is a few bolts and...Splinter, right behind him. Somehow, Brown Trousers Time has gone. In the corner of the arena, Martijn stares incredulously, wondering what possibly could have happened. There is a pause, and then Leo reaches into his shirt pocket and unfolds a piece of paper within.
On it is simply written, The Laws Of Physics
Martijns confusion turns to anger as he realises that he has been defeated by the laws of physics. NO! he screams agitatedly. THIS CANNOT BE!
He claps his hands, and there is a gasp from the assembled crowd as slowly he begins to grow in size, his Official Roboteer shirt morphing itself into a flowing black cape, his forehead developing two elongated white horns and his eyes glowing a deep red. With a sweep of one powerful arm, he summons from the rift all that was swallowed by it; Verticality, Nitro-Gene 4.0, Frank Goacher, a kitchen from a country cottage, Christopher Mason, five jujumen, several pots of odd potions and scents, a DeWalt cordless angle grinder, Beta-Rex, Axes Of Evil, Boris Yeltsin, Harald Hardrada, William Pitt and a mosquito.
Leo takes a step backwards as the mob of man and twisted machine advances towards him. Suddenly, he finds himself gripped by a resolve to survive this war, and reaches for his transmitter. Switching it on, and standing beside Splinter, he shatters the silnce with two words.
LETS GO!
Something breaks the tension, and limbs and robots begin flying. Leo drives Splinter forward into William Pitts legs, knocking him head over heels and cracking his head on the plywood floor, killing him instantly. He then raises a fist and physically dispatches two of the jujumen, simultaneously headbutting the angle grinder as it flies towards him, flinching from the gash that is ripped in his head, but sending the remains of the power tool straight at Harald Hardrada, a splinter of plastic stabbing the Viking through the heart. Axes Of Evil moves in on Splinter, who grasps it and rams it into Verticality, KOing both robots handily, while Leo, distracted by controlling his robot, is picked up by the ankles and stares upside down at a mutant Chris Mason, who holds him high above his head before marching to the flame grid, which begins to flame up to claim Leo as its victim...
Leo, though, thinks quickly and extends the aerial on his transmitter to stab the Chris-morph between the legs, causing it to release him and double over in pain. He rolls over the floor twice, putting out any smouldering that may have been happening on his garments, before almost instinctively grabbing Boris Yeltsins incoming karate chop and throwing the former Russian president into the kitchen, destroying both instantly. Beta-Rex charges at the Dutch roboteer, who dodges the charge and controls Splinter neatly to scoop up the other three voodoo priests and ram them into the opposing robot, causing all four to fall into the pit. Frank Goacher, over in the corner, cackles as he rubs his hands together to open a plot hole, but Leo uses his initative to pick up Nitro-Gene and run blindly at the threat. Nitro-Genes flipper fires in anger, and the vented gas blows into Franks eyes and makes him fall into the plot hole of his own making, Leo throwing Nitro-Gene in as well before it closes.
Angry at this turn of events, Martijn summons up a firewall and orders the mosquito to come in on the attack, but Splinter drives over the flames, putting them out as the pneumatics tubing melts and expels the excess pressure, while Leo puts down his transmitter and looks up as he hears a faint buzzing, before clapping his hands high in the air. As he opens them, a dead mosquito falls from between his palms and down to the ground.
Leo, triumphant, turns towards Martijn, who roars in anger and throws himself at his adversary, ripping open the fabric of time itself and preparing to dispose of Leo the way he disposed of his creations. As he flies towards him, almost inhuman, he barely notices Leo ducking underneath his charge before grabbing hold of his ankle, and with a 180 degree swing flinging the beast into oblivion.
There is silence in the arena, Leo hanging his head in exhaustion. Then, Dan Stickler in the front row begins to applaud, joined by the people around him, and then the entire audience rewarding Leo with a standing ovation as he gets to his feet again and raises his hand in jubilation, looking around at the remains of the evil he vanquished, the monsters he faced and returned triumphant.
YES! YES, I DID IT!
The podium descends, as the spotlights illuminate the outlines of the Queen and Prince Philip, and the Dutch hero steps forward before bending on one knee, the monarch hanging a medal around his neck before tapping Leos left shoulder.
Arise, Sir Leo
The applause of the crowd goes wilder, and the Dutch roboteer can but grin widely as he reflects on the actions that led to this celebration.
He has defeated Brown Trousers Time.
CEASE
After that random and unnecessarily long and overblown fight, Splinter goes through to the finals!
