The Fighting Vapourbots Association League!

Argh...my head hurts after reading that. Some rather nasty lineups there too...Id agree with Kody that Gabriel and Phoenix Down are my best chances though.

Predictions? You must be joking.

What if I made it 2 x LEM130s but ran them at 48V?

Wasnt that MY suggestion??

Hey Paul

Yes, if you used just 2 motors youd still have a Storm 2 type power about your robot, and will likely bring you underweight and, although I know its vapourbots, I would like to point out that Nitrogen has been outlawed by the FRA, and CO2 will not actually get to 1000PSI unless your flipper ram was connected beside the ram (After having a lengthy discussion with Leo about this), the max working pressure of most flipper robots (Kronic included) is 725PSI

Ill be posting my robots tactics when we reach their heats.

Or, in the case of Death Threat, when I know the fourth combatant

Post away, Matt.

[kodster]

Okay, due to a last-minute switch, AJ is doing the Heat A first battle, not me. :P

[joey_picus]

Right, due to me being unlikely to have internet access for a period of time in a while, if someone could please inform me what heats I am supposed to be writing, I shall write them and have someone post them in absentia. Thankyou :P

In other news, its...

+1>THE OTHER INCORRECT PREDICTIONS!
-2>and some tactics as well, if youre into that sort of thing

Heat A

Do or Die vs. Salamander III vs. Axe to Fall vs. Grim Reaper
Salamander and Axe to go through here.

Wedge Devolution vs. BIACS-LE vs. Death Threat 0.2 vs. Topsy Turvy
Wedge, yes, we already know Wedge is through, why are we even bothering? Hmmm...oh, I have to predict someone else? Death Threat then.

WINNER: Wedge or Salamander

Heat B

Catus Catus 8.1 vs. Ge5orce vs. Bloody Mary vs. Killotine: EVO
Ge5orce and Catus

Weapon Synergy Unleashed vs. Secret vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus vs. MeCannibal 3.0
Secret is probably through, and DC-RI is definitely out, but between Dan and Paul its close...Ill buck the trend and go with Weapon Synergy.

WINNER: Ge5orce

Heat C

Disco 5 vs. SOR X vs. Cyclone Force 3 vs. The Botles Reunited
Disco and SoR

The May Tracks Has You vs. NIDHOGG vs. Blue Sparks vs. Requiem
Right, one of my bots here...Ill ask Frank if hes open to teaming, as I can stop Requiems drum with the weaponry, cant see it doing all that much to me, and the standard Nidhogg tactics of lift, crush, pit, in should work well. If Blue Sparks is still around, do the same.

WINNER: SoR X or May Tracks

Heat D

Leprosy Infection vs. QUAESTOR III vs. Turbo Tails vs. Apocalypse
Steve, wanna team up? I shall go for Chriss drum thing, it poses little threat to my armour and I shall axe, lift, flip, and generally dominate it. Same goes for Apocalypse if its still in one piece.

Wedginator Devilution vs. Masamune vs. Baldur vs. *69
Wedginator and Masamune

WINNER: Wedginator or Tails, with me as an outside chance.

Heat E

GABRIEL III vs. Hatchet: EVO vs. Boxed In vs. Champagne
Dan and I are allegedly teaming up (MSN) so I shall go for one of the other two and flip, and then do the same for the other one. Might even get a bit of spinning in there as well. Who knows? Not me.

ISDSFA vs. Slammer VI vs. Dolce vs. Axes of Evil
ISDSFA and Slammer. Moving on...

HEAT WINNER: I reckon I have half a chance here, but if not then Slammer or Champagne.

Heat F

Gulp vs. Achilles vs. The 6isc vs. Sithis
Sithis is probably through, the others are quite close though.

The Zodiac vs. Roo 2 vs. Sheer Heart Attack 2 vs. Panicking Still?
Zodiac and SHA2, methinks...

WINNER: Sithis, 6isc, or SHA2.

Heat G

Systematic Shocker vs. Sheer Hell vs. DreamCatcher vs. DREADNAUT (take note of spelling)
My tactics are to stay away. From everything that may potentially harm me. That includes Sheer Hell, Systematic Shocker, DreamCatcher, the arena hazards, the arena walls, the floor, the audience, the drivers, the air, the..just about everything actually.

Tri-Tainium vs. Tengu VII vs. The Deer vs. All Scoop and No Stab
Tengu and The Deer?

WINNER: Tengu.

Heat H

St. Hammer vs. Crimson Thunder vs. EYE OF RAN vs. PsycloniZer
Stay away from PsycloniZer AT ALL COSTS. AND I MEAN ALL COSTS. IF IT IS COMING TOWARDS ME, GET THE HELL AWAY. DO NOT DRIVE NEAR IT, DO NOT ATTACK IT, DO NOT GO AROUND IT IN A MANNER FROM WHICH IT COULD DRIVE INTO ME, DO NOT LURE IT ANYWHERE, TAKE THE RISK OF PINGBACK ROM THE ARENA WALL RATHER THAN REVERSE INTO IT.
Right, now thats cleared up, I can take out St. HAmmer fairly easily with the blade, its got big shreddable wheels, and then I shall turn the bar on Crimson Thunder, rev it to max and try and kill it with shock damage.
If Andy wants to team up so I can stay away from him safely, then that could be arranged. :P

Intriguer vs. Hot Sauce vs. Spring-BOK! vs. Under Pressure
Intriguer and Hot Sauce

WINNER: Psy or Hot Sauce

Heat I

Lethal Execution vs. Namie€™s Style vs. Flaming Hell vs. Rammy Mk 3
Flaming Hell probably, and a random one out of the other three :P

Super Gore Revo vs. Knyfe vs. Riptile 3 vs. Black Panther
Riptile, if its as good as Matty says it will be, and Super Gore

WINNER: Super Gore or Riptile

Heat J

Cat With Wheels vs. The Rock vs. Dervish: Generation X vs. Flick of the Wrist
Flicky and Cat With Wheels

Monolith vs. Hacked off Haka vs. Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Brutalis 2.0
Haka, Brutalis, and Spin Dash all have a chance. The unbreakable Monolith will be broken :P


Heat K

DVD: The Sequel vs. Wedga€™s Revenge vs. Back 2 Basics vs. Juiced Oil
B2B and Juiced Oil

Supreme vs. The Saint vs. LIFE & DEATH vs. E Clawdius Unum
Split, go for seperate people, await annihilation. Next!

WINNER: Clawdius, Supreme, or B2B

Heat L

Heyght vs. With or Without You vs. Macduff the 3rd vs. Tempest Evil-est-oution
Tempest definitely, and Macduff likely to be alongside him.

Weird Alice vs. Noo Monsoon vs. Leviathan vs. PowerPoint The Thrasher 5
Aside from Weird Alice :P any of them could go through.

WINNER: Tempest or Macduff

Heat M

Another Night At The Bar vs. Sakura vs. Killobite 5.0 vs. Exertion
Tough one...anything except the horriffically unstable ANATB will go through :P

Mega Masher 2 vs. NO EXCEPTIONS vs. Visioned vs. LockJaw Epidemic
Liam, wanna team up here? Spin up, go for either Mega Masher or Visioned, and do general battle stuff.

WINNER: Sakura, Killobite, or Exertion.

Heat N

Seung Mina IV vs. Door Stops vs. Obliteration vs. Back to Rock III
Back To Rock and Seung Mina.

Rupture vs. Hypertension Mk 3 vs. WORCK-ER vs. Flipping Hell
WORCKER and Rupture...to go out. :P

WINNER: Seung Mina

Heat O

??? vs. Axe-O-Lotl vs. Liar 2 vs. Axeon 3.0
Whats that ??? doing there? Get it out! Axe-O-Lotl to follow it.

Nitro-Gene 4.0 vs. Dante vs. vs. PHOENIX DOWN vs. Disco Boogie
Right, I have explained to people involved my issues with the pneumatics on Nitro-Gene so I will use a claw and a saw and go for that first. Then, I shall ram the others around until one of them dies or falls down the pit. :P

WINNER: This is definitely my best chance, so its either me or Axeon.

Heat P

Orka MK 4 vs. ArchAngel of the Abyss vs. Hell Machine vs. Forklift 2
Uh...AAotA and Hell Machine.

Tira IV vs. Pure Evil: Back To Basics vs. Whirligig 4.5 vs. Extravagant
Im not touching this one. Seriously, any two of these four could go through.

WINNER: AAotA or any of the ones in the second melee.

There ya go. :P
