Vapourbot Vengeance Series 1

[kodster]

Tactics? Nah.

Predictions? Sure.

Pussycat (9) VS Vader

Tough. Pussycats wheels, though exposed, have yet to be destroyed by a good spinner, but it cant exploit Vaders lack of a srimech. Ill give this slightly to Vader.

Hot Sauce VS Roobarb

Oh dear, another tough fight. This I think will go in the direction of whoever gets under the other the best. Roobarb doesnt look low enough, really, so Hot Sauce will probably edge it.

What did you think of Round 1? Wooty.

Predictions:

Pussycat will be battered and KOed by Vader
Roobarb will be pitted by Hot Sauce

Very good battle, Dan, even if the build up was somewhat tortuous

Youre not getting away with that for Heat B. We expect Terrorhurtz to be working properly, unlike its S7 appearance.

Youre going to have a long wait, then.

Nice, great start to the tournament!

«Pussycat vs. Vader»

Tough, but I reckon Vader can do the job here.

«Hot Sauce vs. Roobarb»

This should be easier for Hot Sauce, I reckon it can go through here.

[steven_mcg]

Ooh, very nice opener, I must say, Danny. Quite a surprise too IMO.

HEAT A
ROUND 2
Pussycat (9) VS Vader
Im going to be different and say Pussycat to claw Vaders polycarb sides and scrape a victory.

Hot Sauce VS Roobarb
Ill pick Hot Sauce to win on a judges decision.

Ill give Wedge Devos tactics nearer the time.

Did someone say battles?

HEAT A: ROUND TWO

Pussycat (9) VS Vader

OK, this was a difficult battle to write a hypothetical for, mainly because I feel that both robots are exceptional. But nevertheless€¦

Vader€™s better control allows it to get a few good hits onto the Pussycat bodywork, but somehow misses the wheels every time. Stu gets Pussycat€™s blade into the armouring of Vader, giving it a few good slices, but it isn€™t enough and Vader wins on a Judge€™s Decision based on damage, control and aggression.

Vader goes through to the Heat A final!!


Hot Sauce VS Roobarb

Booth One: Josh Pinto (Roobarb)
Booth Two: Chezza

House Robots: Mr Psycho and Matilda

3€¦2€¦1€¦ACTIVATE!

Immediately Roobarb storms towards Hot Sauce and rides up the front wedge, the high ground clearance clearly paying its price. Chezza gives a little flip and Roobarb is flipped onto its back, but it neatly self rights and drives away, looking for another attack. Chezza tries to slide in underneath Roobarb again, but Josh Pinto at the controls of Roobarb manoeuvres his robot away, and gets the flipper underneath Hot Sauce. The front hinged flipper-bot is turned over onto its back and before it can self right is slammed into the arena wall by Roobarb. Roobarb tries to get another flip in on Hot Sauce to get it OOTA, but fails to do so, and aids Hot Sauce in its self righting. Hot Sauce quickly turns and gets underneath Roobarb€™s high ground clearance, but instead of flipping it, Chezza drives it towards Matilda€™s CPZ. Roobarb is thwacked by the spinning flywheel of Matilda - the side armour sliced and buckled by that devastating attack by the House Robot. Hot Sauce backs away, leaving Roobarb tussling with Tildy. Josh Pinto manages to get out of the CPZ, and immediately crashes into Hot Sauce, flipping the robot over. Chezza tries to self right, but Roobarb cunningly uses the flipping arm to pin Hot Sauce down, and push it around the arena floor before slamming it into the pit release tyre. Hot Sauce finally manages to self right, and comes in on a slam against Roobarb, getting underneath the ground clearance. A flip and a quick self right later, Roobarb is back on its wheels and drives towards Hot Sauce, who is keeping the front wedge facing its opponent. Chezza pushes the controls on the remote control, and Hot Sauce speeds towards Roobarb and flips it over once again. Roobarb lands precariously near the open pit, and self rights, just missing the pit by mere millimetres. Hot Sauce slams into the side of Roobarb, pushing it nearer and nearer towards the pit. Roobarb manages to get enough traction on the arena floor, however to dodge the open canyon, with Hot Sauce nearly driving itself in! Roobarb once again comes in on the attack, but drives up Hot Sauce€™s front wedge once again. Chezza fires the flipper, sending Roobarb over onto its back once again. Roobarb self rights again, but only for Hot Sauce to flip it straight back over and drive it towards the arena side wall. Roobarb, once again, self rights, and drives towards Hot Sauce. Hot Sauce gets underneath the front flipper of Roobarb, but doesn€™t flip its opponent over. Is there a problem with the flipper? Hot Sauce gives Roobarb a piggyback around the arena floor before getting nearer and nearer the open pit. A quick fired flip from Hot Sauce sends Roobarb down and out of the competition.

Roobarb pitted.
Hot Sauce goes through to the Heat A final!!
