Hopefully Ive bolted on my panels well enough. The armour itself should keep Revolver busy for a while.

Tactics: Wheels. Kill em.

Shave 2kg off the disc and 3kg off the plate.

Hopefully it should be very tough to get beneath the front plate as the bristles pushed by the weight of the plate should form a decent anti-flipper seal by my reckoning.

Drive after it and let the weapon do its stuff. I have some ideas for an update to Red Knight actually.

Hey Martijn!

With You has 3mm Hardox armour! That doesnt exist!

**joey_picus** · 15th July 2008, 21:47

Kody has kindly pointed out to me that 3mm Hardox doesnt exist

My tactics for Drive now also include going straight for the unprotected sides, maybe try and knock off a chain or a tyre with the front spikes.

It does exist - you take thicker hardox and file it down, just because it doesnt exist conveniantly doesnt mean it doesnt exist.

Well I havent seen anybody use 1mm or 2mm Hardox :P, and I believe I heard from Jonno that you cant have less than 3.25mm Hardox...

Here is the first fight:}
Ziggy VS Slam!3

Our house robots are Growler and Sir Killalot

3-2-1-Activate

Slam!3 charges towards Ziggy and,
CRASH!
both robots hit each other hard, but both are still mobile and undamaged, Slam!3 rushes in for another hit
CRASH!
This time he catches Ziggy by suprise, but no damage ha been, wait look the corner of Ziggys wedge has been buckled, Ziggy heads towards the pit release and opens the pit, meanwhile Slam!3 is preparing for another hit, and has started picking up speed, Ziggy turns round and,
Smash!
Slam!3 get underneath the buckleed corner of Ziggys wedge and lifts him onto his back against the wall but Ziggy fires his flipper and is back on his wheels, both robots now in a stale mate., both trying to get under the other, Slam!3 breaks free and drives off to try and get some momentum, but Ziggy has followed him and has got underneath him at the side and
FLIP!
Slam!3 ends up on his back near the pit and tries to self-right using the arm but he is too near the pit and decides to stay upside down, so Ziggy comes along and finishes him off
Boom!
The pyrotechnics in the pit go off which signals the end for Slam!3

Cease!

A win for Ziggy with just 12 seconds left before the end of the match!

Ziggy goes through to the semi-finals
Slam!3 Doesnt

Next fight: Revolver vs Tax Cutter
