Gasp!
Excellent fights, Liam, even more so because I won!(Seriously, amazing fights - you are becoming a very good writer!)
Tactacs... or Tictics
Basically act like Stinger and be annoying as heck! Spin around when one of the machines comes near me and thwack the sides and top of each opponent. Ill ignore Kodys machine because its being operated by Kody and focus the attacks on Drum Boy.
I wont wait until I know what Under Pressure is, because Id like to team with it against Leprosy...tactics are to generally crush it and assist in getting it down the pit.
In that case, focus all my attacks on Sonic Boom and be annoying as hell.
Lovely....
The only way I could attack is to rip the axe clean off sonic boom... and team up with kody... if he desires.

Under Pressure is, finally, done...
Nidhogg (2) v Leprosy Infection v Under Pressure
and it will propose a team-up with Nidhogg against Leprosy Infection! Crusher frenzy! Pit! Pit! Pit!
Thanks Martijn, looks good
Welcome now to the final heat of Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged. Tonight sees the 16th semi-finalist join the great ranks and then we will find out who faces who in the semi-finals.
Nidhogg (2) v Leprosy Infection v Under Pressure
Drum Boy v Envy v Sonic Boom
Eliminator 1
Created and entered by Joey McConnell, seeded #2, Nidhogg!
This Lightning (from RW7) shaped wedge has front lifting forks powered by an S28-150 motor and a hydraulic crusher with self-righting spines. It has been redone since its success last season and is ready to repeat that success and maybe even go one better this season with new LEMs in the drive being one new factor of an improved machine.
In RS!!1: Lifted and crushed The Curse in the eliminator to go through and meet the pair of wedges that were Frank Goacher€™s Doorstops in round 2. The wedges were lifted and pitted and Nidhogg met WORCK in the heat final, who had defeated it previously in another tournament. However Nidhogg gained sweet, sweet revenge and pitted WORCK in order to move onto the tournament finals. There it met Seung Mina IV, and was surely the underdog. But Joey didn€™t let that bother him and did what Nidhogg does best- lift and pit. The semi-finals saw an even tougher match and Supreme Glory Omega whacked Nidhogg repeatedly with the powerful axe, but Joey came back and won the match to earn his place in the final, and it was here that Nidhogg€™s comparatively slow self-righting let it down, allowing Wedge Devolution to flip it all over the arena and take the title.

This robot may not be very original, but it does have some success behind it. It is an invertible four wheel drive and a powerful spinning drum at the front to chew away at opponents armour as well as flip them about.

An entirely new robot from our very own flying Dutchman, this Tough as Nails-esque machine has some power behind it. However Tough as Nails bowed out of the last heat in the second round, will Under Pressure follow in the footsteps of its realie counterpart or put the other robots under pressure?

SMASH!!
Another three robots are in the coliseum as the penultimate eliminator of this season gets underway, with the newcomers Under Pressure and Leprosy Infection heading straight for each other, and Leprosy drives straight into the open claws of Under Pressure, hoping to hit the middle body and flip it before the claws can come into play, but Martijn reverses a little to give them time and immediately we see how crucial those wedges are to Under Pressure€™s success as they get breach the side skirts of Leprosy Infection and the claws come into play on the side panels, making small but strong perforations into the armour. And with Leprosy Infection caught in this vice-like grip Nidhogg just looks on, contemplating Under Pressure€™s performance. And with Leprosy Infection well and truly stuck the second seed heads over to the pit release button to allow Martijn to finish the job, and he obliges by heading over to the chasm and holding Leprosy Infection over the abyss while he pulls out those hydraulic claws and dumps Leprosy Infection into the pit and out of the contest in just 11 seconds!
CEASE!
Leprosy Infection is infected; Nidhogg (2) and Under Pressure go through to round 2!
Eliminator 2
Created and entered by Samuel Park, Drum Boy!
Very similar to Dervish V, the winner of the last heat this full body drum owes a lot to the realie Barberous 2 €˜n€™ a bit. Flipping it does nothing and the weaponry is powerful, but can it drum up a rhythm or is Drum Boy out of tune?
In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter
Built by Team BUD, entered by Kody Kunz, Envy!
This realie has a low pressure 10 bar front hinged flipper with a hardox and aluminium top panel. The 10mm titanium front scoop should help to get under the other robots and toss them about, but the question is will Envy be left envying its vapour bot opponents?
In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter
Created and entered by Daniel Stickler, Sonic Boom!
This Stinger-style axlebot has a momentum powered pickaxe between the wheels and can deliver some pretty meaty hits. However the wheels are exposed and it will be pretty tricky to control, so look out for some Stinger-style spins.
In RS!!1: Met The May Tracks Has You in round 1 and was flipped out of the arena.

SMASH!!
The final eliminator you people will read in this season of Robot SMASH!! is finally underway after so many eliminators that came before it, and straight away Envy is the quickest robot off the mark, heading straight for Sonic Boom, scooping up and flipping forwards, away from its wedge shaped body. Daniel swings the axe over though and latches onto the open flipper of Envy, now pulling Kody€™s realie entry across the arena! And now all of a sudden in comes Drum Boy, the weaponry spinning at full speed and Samuel hits into the side of Sonic Boom, severing Sonic Boom€™s vice grip on Envy and rolling it away across the arena. Envy follows in order to help Drum Boy and gets underneath Sonic Boom again, this time ramming it into the corner and onto the killsaws! BZZT! Sonic Boom is spun around and as it does so it slams into the side of Drum Boy, knocking Samuel sideways into the arena wall with a CRASH! The wall and Drum Boy both seem to be OK though, and Kody goes on the attack again, getting in underneath Sonic Boom and regardless of the axe blows pushes it into the pit release button! Drum Boy now comes in on another rampaging attack and slams into Sonic Boom, throwing it up into the air and slicing one of the tyres as it does so! But now the drum has stopped and Sonic Boom turns on Drum Boy as Daniel has been trying to in this bout and whacks it with a powerful overhead blow, stopping Drum Boy€™s weaponry from getting back up to speed. And now in comes Envy again, running in underneath Sonic Boom and using the flipper to topple it onto the wheel hub, which spins it around in a rather crazy manner, causing Sonic Boom to fall back onto its wheels. But the tyre damaged by Drum Boy is really getting Daniel€™s axlebot down and he limps after Drum Boy to try another onslaught, but Samuel has the body up to speed again and comes in on the attack again, driving in underneath Sonic Boom and throwing it over backwards as Daniel stops the motor and activates the axe just a second too late as it swings down onto the floor of the arena before Envy drives in underneath it and drives Sonic Boom across the arena and into the corner where it is again hit by the killsaws, which come up and throw it skyward in an explosion of sparks! Envy runs in again and scoops it up to come around and push it towards the chasm! But not this time, as Daniel drives up and over the front wedge of Envy and Kody fires the flipper just a bit too late to halt Sonic Boom€™s escape, but Daniel has forgotten about Drum Boy who comes in on the attack and attacks the already damaged tyre, ripping it clean off! And that has really hurt the manoeuvrability of Sonic Boom, who is now vulnerable to an attack from Envy, who obliges by driving that 10mm titanium front scoop in underneath Sonic Boom and delivers the final, but very necessary shove to end Sonic Boom€™s run in this second season of Robot SMASH!!
CEASE!
Sonic Boom goes boom; Envy and Drum Boy go through to round 2!
Round 2 Draw:
Nidhogg (2) v Drum Boy
Envy v Under Pressure
Tactics: Box rush Drum Boy and close the claw on the drum so it cant spin up - the weapon and armour should be able to take the initial impact if it has spun up at all before I get there, or if it gets free somehow. From there, take it to the pit release button and then stick it down there.
w00t
Nidhogg (2) vs. Drum Boy
Nidhogg to win easily.
Envy vs. Under Pressure
Bugger. Try and flip it, then get around to the back if I do and push it into the pit. OOTA is definitely not an option. Avoid that front like the plague (meaning: try and manoeuvre around so he turns a little too much, then dart over to the outside of the claw then flip.

Sorry me being ignorant, but what is Under Pressure like?
