no! I was gonna team up with AJ here :sad:
Black Death has a rear hinged flipper, sir.
Added tactix
Just keep DTM away from the sides and back, and Ill try to use my flipper more than my disc here.
Here we are with another heat of Robot SMASH!! , this being the twelfth heat of sixteen. As we€™re so close to reaching the semi-finals, let€™s take a look at the story of the heats so far.
Wedge Devolution (1) threw Splinter over in round 2 after pitting The Curse in the eliminator, and although Sheer Heart Attack 2 put up a good fight in the heat final it was thrown out of the contest.
Supreme Glory Omega (3) gave Shrederator the axe in the eliminator, and in round 2 Axe-o-Lotl was defeated when SGO scored the most points of a judge€™s decision in the series so far.
Turbo Shredder shocked us all by tearing up Storm II (5) and winning on a judge€™s decision, but it was outclassed by Cyclone Force 3 in the heat final.
Another shocker in Heat D when Orka MK.4 pitted Whirligig 4.5 (7) in a matter of seconds, and despite being rammed around by Macduff the 3rd in the heat final Orka moved onto the semi-finals.
Heat E was filled with all-stars like Die-ceratops Re-invertus, Back to Rock III and SOR X, and it ended with Back to Rock III meeting SOR X in the heat final and taking the semi-final spot.
Heat F so our first realie semi-finalist head through when Mantis dumped All scoop and no stab make Steve a dull boy (11) into the pit before doing the same to Tengu VII in the heat final.
Heat G so Super Gore Evo (13) impressively grapple Wedga€™s Revenge, but the unlucky seeding had its tracks sliced up by Metal Sonic Spin Dash in the heat final.
Heat H saw the return of Wedginator Devilution (15), but it didn€™t stay for long after the flipper was damaged by Axe to Fall, who then fell to Axeon 3.0 in the heat final.
In Heat I Shadow Zone Returns (16) did not have a good return and tumbled out of the arena with a little help from Achilles, and then in the heat final Mega Monsoon was too uncontrolled and was pitted.
Gabriel II (14) looked promising, but in the heat final it was cut down to size by its round 1 teammate PsycloniZer.
And finally in Heat K another seed made it through, and that seed was Flick of the Wrist (12) who over-powered The Rock, Crimson Thunder and Dante on the way through.
And tonight we see the return of Killobite 5.0 (10) as he attempts to improve on his previous heat final placing.
Killobite 5.0 (10) v Paramagnetic LOX Box v E Clawdius Unum
Revenge of Black Death v Exertion v Dennis the Menace
And first up there€™s a rematch between Killobite 5.0 (10) and E Clawdius Unum, as last time around Killobite grappled and pitted the roman in the opening round.
Eliminator 1
Created and entered by Kody Kunz, seeded #10, Killobite 5.0!
This oddly shaped machine has an external steel bar chassis and a crushing claw/lifting forks weapon synergy that served runners-up Nidhogg well last season. It also has an electric srimech built into the back of the robot, and last time around reached the heat final. The beak has 9 tonnes of force at the ram and 4.5 at the tip, so watch out!
In RS!!1: Lifted, grappled and pitted the promising E Clawdius Unum in round 1, and in round 2 it did the same to the powerful robot known as The Quaestor. However it all went belly-up in the heat final and ISDSFA flipped them out of the heat.
Created and entered by Joey McConnell, Paramagnetic LOX Box!
This hexagonal omni-directional machine is based on Alex Holt€™s Blizzard, and despite having no weaponry so to speak of it€™s very unlikely anything will out-push those screws that will be trying to go the other way.
In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter
Created and entered by Steven McGregor, E Clawdius Unum!
This magmotor driven wedge with Mute-style barbs has an extremely powerful hydraulic crusher and flat spears to get in underneath other robots that are positioned either side of the front of the wedge. It came 3rd in ETC08, and is the champion of majors such as FAR8, but can it continue its success here and get to the final like it did in the Crash and Burn Tournament?
In RS!!1: Put up a good fight against eventual heat finalist Killobite 5.0 in round 1, but was eventually grappled and pitted.
Roboteers, standby!
Booth 1: Kody Kunz, Joey McConnell
Booth 2: Steven McGregor

SMASH!!
All three robots are off, and it€™s Killobite who seems to the most menacing machine out there as this fight gets underway, making a beeline for Clawdius, who surprisingly manages to dodge out of the way of the seed€™s forks and drives around a flabbergasted Killobite to get those spears straight underneath the skirt on the Paramagnetic LOX Box and bring the crusher down to bear on the thin hardox armour, actually going through it! Joey panics and tries to escape, but he€™s caught on the barbs of Clawdius€™ wedge (and not to mention the claw). Killobite comes in to help the LOX Box out now though, and uses those lifting forks to throw Clawdius onto his back! However Steven keeps hold of the LOX box and self-rights before reversing into the side of Killobite 5.0, pushing it backwards into the pit release siren! And immediately Steven heads towards the pit, and only 15 seconds of the match have passed! But Killobite doesn€™t want the LOX Box to be eliminated and follows Steven, managing to clamp Clawdius from behind and lifting both Clawdius and the LOX Box into the air! But the question is what to do now, and the combined weight tips Killobite over forwards, and Steven hits the crusher release button, letting the LOX Box tumble into the pit before he does and is followed by Killobite 5.0!
CEASE!
A very short 27 second match, and all three competitors end up in the pit, but the Paramagnetic LOX Box went in first and so it is eliminated; Killobite 5.0 (10) and E Clawdius Unum go through!
Eliminator 2
Exertion v Revenge of Black Death v Dennis the Menace
Created and entered by Andrew Jackson, Exertion!
This well-controlled four wheel drive rammer has a front lifting scoop actuated by an S28-150 magmotor that can work both ways up. There is 18HP in the magmotor drive and this robot will have no trouble shoving the others around.
In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter
Created and entered by Samuel Park, Revenge of Black Death!
This hardox box wedge has a co2 powered rear hinged front flipper and a deadly horizontal spinning disc at the rear, though that may interfere with the robot€™s self-righting abilities. In this match it has teamed up with Exertion, though it has been targeted by the veteran.
In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter
Created and entered by Daniel Stickler, Dennis the Menace!
This oddly shaped machine has an insanely powerful spinning drum at the front of the robot and it runs inverted, but with weak motors in the drive and the possibility of the weapon€™s chainsaw motors stalling Dennis could be menaced!
In RS!!1: Looked promising in round 1 as it ripped a side panel of Flick of the Wrist, but it was then lifted and pitted by the eventual heat finalist.
Roboteers, standby!
Booth 1: Andrew Jackson, Samuel Park
Booth 2: Daniel Stickler

SMASH!!
Dennis and Revenge of Black Death are both spinning up their weapons as this bout gets underway, but it€™s Andy Jackson€™s Exertion which is first off the mark, slamming into the front drum of Dennis the Menace and easily stalling it. Daniel pulls away, but now Revenge of Black Death comes in from behind and gets under the rear of Dennis the Menace, flipping it onto Exertion, who uses the scoop to lift it onto the top of the rammer and reverses across the arena with Dennis in tow, slamming the pit release button with the angled rear and knocking Dennis the Menace off the top. Daniel reverses and spins up the weaponry again before knocking into the side of Revenge of Black Death, who is flung up and over with a CRASH! The disc spins and Samuel fires the flipper, but all that happens is ROBD comes up and its own disc hits the floor before it bounces back down onto its lid! But team-ups are pretty handy and Exertion rights the SOR alike robot, which attacks Dennis again, this time flipping it onto the killsaws! BZZT! Dennis is flung away in a shower of sparks and lands in front of Exertion, who pushes it across the arena, lifting it over and pushing it up against the arena wall! And now in comes Revenge of Black Death again, getting right in underneath and flipping Dennis up and over the barrier! Daniel€™s renowned drummer hits the Plexiglas that protects the audience and falls onto the camera tracks, broken and beaten.
CEASE!
Dennis the Menace is menaced; Revenge of Black Death and Exertion go through to round 2!
Second round line-up:
Killobite 5.0 (10) v Revenge of Black Death
Exertion v E Clawdius Unum
Right then.
Killobite 5.0 (10) vs. Revenge of Black Death
Dont like the look of that disc so Ill go after the flipper and the sides. Slide under, crunch, lift, pit. Flipping him would be nice too.If I can Ill try and tilt him so that his disc hits the floor.
Exertion vs. E Clawdius Unum
Clawdius to join me in the final by pitting AJs ramming bugger. Time for that rematch...
Good work Liam.

The next fights should be a bit longer, I seem to be better at one-on-ones and four-way melees than three way melees
Never allow him to attack, get all over Killobyte like a bunch of termites.
Added Tactics
Ive decided to add a Firestorm-like wedge extention on the front, just in case of an emergency. Also, that armour doesnt look too strong, so Ill use the disc more. If Killobyte even tries to attack the front, Ill be ready with my flipper...
