So...whos Alex teamed-up with?
Depends how much its worth to you lol
Its worth a lot. In addition, I proposed it first.
you were also the first to betray him some posts back...
Tonight on Robot SMASH!! we will see the return of the number #12 seed Flick of the Wrist as he battles The Rock, Dante, No Objections, Crimson Thunder and Rupture for a place in the series semi-finals.
Flick of the Wrist (12) v The Rock v Dante
No Objections v Crimson Thunder v Rupture
Eliminator 1
Created and entered by Martijn M Benschop, seeded #12, Flick of the Wrist!
A six-wheeled Tornado with diamond tipped lifting spikes and B42-500s at 48v in the drive. The forks work both ways up and can go parallel to the ground in order to be used as classic ramming spikes. However, the wheels are exposed to crushers and axes from above and the 7mm titanium armour may cave in against the more powerful spinners.
In RS!!1: Everyone thought Dennis the Menace would drum up a victory in round 1, but Flicky lifted and pitted the spinner to advance to the second round, where it OOTAed the full body spinner Sakura with a little help from an arena spike. In the heat final however Seung Mina IV swapped her flipper plate for her flipper spikes and got right in underneath Flick to win the fight after a long and close tussle, eventually winning on a JD.
Created and entered by Paul Cuomo, The Rock!
This box wedge design is powered by 2 LEM-130s at 36v and uses a powerful axe powered by high pressure co2. The front wedge is angled so that it can attempt to overturn opponents and the hardox armour will protect it from most attacks.
In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter
Created and entered by Alex Holt, Dante!
This interesting design has almost no armour, but has two tungsten carbide tubes at the front to defend from other spinners. The weaponry to watch out for is the large vertical flywheel powered by a magmotor which is designed to bludgeon opponents instead of shred their armour.
In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter
Roboteers, standby!
Booth 1: Martijn M Benschop

SMASH!!
Flick of the Wrist is the seeded robot in this heat and immediately shows its speed and power at the start of this bout as Martijn speeds off the mark and circles his opponents, eyeing his prey and trying to decide who€™s tastier. However his decision is made for him as The Rock comes straight at the powerful ramming machine at full speed, slamming into him side on and bringing the axe down, making a large dent and with the second blow which soon follows a hole on the top! But Flick is quick to turn the tables and pulls around to the side of The Rock, getting those diamond tipped spikes underneath to turn The Rock up and over onto its back! Paul self-rights, but Martijn gets under The Rock before its wheels hit the floor and rams it across the coliseum, slamming into the bottom wall, causing The Rock to tumble over sideways and land with its axe hanging over the wall! Without that weapon to right itself The Rock is helpless, and now Dante comes in after doing nothing so far to finish the job with a massive smack from that disc! CRASH! The Rock€™s base panel is removed entirely from the hit and Paul€™s axe robot flies over the barrier and out of the contest! That was all it took, 13 seconds between the time The Rock entered the arena and the time it left.
CEASE!
The Rock crumbles; Flick of the Wrist (12) and Dante head through to round 2!
I€™m here in the pits now with Paul.
Me: Did that go as you planned it?
Paul: No, not really!
Me: What was the plan?
Paul: To eliminate the seed, but Dante didn€™t team up with me and so Flick of the Wrist was able to shunt me around with no problems at all.
Me: Still a few chances left.
Paul: Yeah.
Me: Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, now let€™s head over to the coliseum for the second eliminator!
Eliminator 2
Created and entered by Joey McConnell, No Objections!
A low dome with a linear actuated lifting arm and a stationary hardox ring around the robot are the makings of this machine, and when it spins on the spot with this two wheels drive the outer ring can deliver a nasty smack. However, the 7mm all round clearance means flippers will have a field day.
In RS!!1: Easily flipped Bar-Red around in the eliminator, eventually confining it to the pit. But in the second round it met The May Tracks Has You and the tyres were spiked before No Objections was tossed over the wall and onto the camera tracks.
Created and entered by Danny Bailey, Crimson Thunder!
A 5mm hardox box with a wedge and an inverted wedge at the rear powered by LEM-130s at 36v. With one motor powering each wheel its likely they€™ll get that power down to the ground, but the inverted wedge at the rear could be a target for lifters and flippers although the sides won€™t be thanks to the hinged skirts.
In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter
Created and entered by Andrew Jackson, Rupture!
This simple design has an electric lifting arm that will almost certainly never stop going with the 300:1 gearing. It€™s powered by a magmotor and is designed to wear out other robots by turning them over and over again.

SMASH!!
Three robots, all baying for blood. Rupture is first off the mark, homing in on Crimson Thunder and trying to get around the rear to that inverted wedge, but Danny shoots off and turns to meet the oncoming challenge from Rupture, ramming into Andy and pushing the less powerful bot across the arena thanks to its higher HP as their ground clearances cancel each other out. No Objections hasn€™t done much yet, and just stays in the background waiting for an attacking opportunity to come its way. Now Rupture gets away from Crimson Thunder and gets the lifter under the rear inverted wedge and lifts Danny into the air, taking the wheels away from the ground. Crimson Thunder is helpless for a moment, but then it crashes back to the ground as it slips off Rupture€™s lifter. Now Crimson Thunder switches targets and rams into the spinning No Objections, hitting it into the wall so that a lot of the energy is dissipated into the wall and the 5mm hardox armour of Crimson Thunder is not even scratched, and now he gets right in underneath the 7mm ground clearance of No Objections and shoves Joey around the arena and passes him onto Rupture, who uses the lifting arm again and holds No Objections in the air before dragging it across the arena towards the pit! Crimson Thunder helpfully presses the pit release siren and Rupture holds No Objection s over the open pit for a few moments before lowering the lifter and allowing No Objections to slide off the wedge and into the pit of oblivion in a large puff of smoke! And after another surprisingly short match No Objections is dumped off the agenda and out of the contest.
CEASE!
No Objections can€™t object; Crimson Thunder and Rupture go thundering through!
I€™m here in the pits now with Joey.
Me: Did you expect that to go better?
Joey: Yes, I wanted a team-up on Rupture, but Danny didn€™t oblige.
Me: Unfortunate for you, but not for him.
Joey: Yes, and these two could go further in the heat anyway.
Me: We€™ll see, here€™s the round 2 line-up.
Flick of the Wrist (12) v Crimson Thunder
Rupture v Dante
A couple of things Liam.
1) Dantes disc is designed to blundgenm not tear, and Im sure Alex would agree it couldnt tear off a 4mm Hardox plate.
2) Me and Alex were teaming-up in this fight, but I dont think it was fair that Martijn posted a bit before Alex did confirming our team-up on Flick, but me and Alex agreed to team-up.
3) My axe retracts back automatically as part of the pack-and-pinion system, so if my axe was left hanging over the wall, would the axe automatically retract and self-right me.
4) If I caused a hole in Flicks top, why didnt the axe-head become fixed in place like with SGO. Even Terrorhurtzs axe holds in place after creating a hole, so my slightly pointed cone with the top cut off would hold on.
5) Ive got MagMotors not LEMs!
Would it be fair in asking for a rematch, as I am a little bit peeved off with all of those 5 points, mostly 4 and 5. But Im REALLY peeved off with 1, 2 and 3. Im a little bit sour, not about loosing, but the farce before the fight that messed up my plan.

Okay Paul, this is becoming ridiculous. Your points (with the exception of #5, but remember the debate on traction we had) are completely invalid, and you want, Ill show you how invalid they really are. Take your loss and accept it. :P
Now then, predictions...
Flick of the Wrist (12) v Crimson Thunder
Martijn to get through on a JD.
Rupture v Dante
Rupture to rupture quite nastily.

The plate is only as strong as whats holding it in place. No matter what the disc is made for its a strong disc and everything can be broken with enough power.

EXCUSE ME for not predicting that Alex would post right after me. I for one saw Alex might be reacting to you due to me posting so quickly after you, but you jumped to conclusions straight away and attacked Dante, after which Alex made his intensions clear and teamed up with me. Then you changed your tactics AGAIN and never had a confirmation from Alex. I cant blame Liam for not waiting till everyone finally made up his mind in this awkward situation. He probably already started writing the moment you changed your mind for the third time anyway. And read the fight please, Dante and I werent even really teaming up on you, Dante just came in late and went for an already semi-immobilized victim.

Pack-and-pinion? Even if you mean rack-and-pinion, you probably dont know how such system works. Rack-and-pinion does NOT cause your axe to automatically retract, not at all. What would be the point of Terrorhurtz axe being double-headed if the axe would retract automatically when in a certain position? This youtube vidio (thnx Aaron) shows a rack-and-pinion powered axe where the axe IS at one point stuck in position. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n59tDtXVPU

Just a minute ago you said your axe would retract automatically

Bad boy Liam.
OK - I accept defeat, and believe Flick will win the heat.
Actually even THz got stuck on the arena sidewall once and couldnt break free.
