Robot SMASH!! III: Lock3d and Load3d

[andrewj]

PsycloniZer vs. Eye of Ran vs. Storm II vs. With or Without You

Indeed I shall team up with Eye of Ran. If Typhoon 2 could cause damage to Storm II, Im pretty sure PsycloniZer can do the same. Spin up to full speed and try and knock those pannels off. There are quite a few edges to attack. Without You apparently only has 180o of protection against opponents under 200mm in height. Well it just so happens PsycloniZer is 175mm in height So if I can get to those unprotected areas, the 4mm Aluminium is at my mercy. And once one part is out, both parts are out.

Looks like another great tournament. Good luck to all.

I agree that this should be great - heres my tictacs and predictions:


Heat A:
PsycloniZer (1) vs. Eye of Ran vs. Storm II vs. With or Without You: Im screwed here My only chance of survival here against three almighty spinners is to ram into one part of With Or Without You and slam him into PsycloniZer, killing him dead, and then stop Eye Of Rans spinner before pitting him - but Im doomed.

ISDSFA (17) vs. Ramminator 1 ½ vs. Robo-Sheep vs. Agro 3.5: The Robot SMASH!! 3rd place to deffo go through...with Richard and Agro 3.5

Heat Winner: Between the two seeds here...too close between them, but I think that maybe PSYCLONIZER has the edge.

Heat B:
Nidhogg Evo (3) vs. 259 vs. Exertion vs. Masamune: Nidhogg and Exertion have more experience than these two, which bring me to believe that theyll go through.

Sheer Heart Attack 2 (19) vs. GBOD vs. Lethal Execution vs. Supernova: Sheer Heart Attack, GBOD and Lethal Execution stand good chances here, but Ill go for the suprise prediction of the seed going out.

Heat Winner: I think that maybe GBOD stands good chances.

Heat C:
Black Panther (5) vs. Lights! Camera! Traction! vs. Heyght II vs. Hexa-Decimator: Unlike my first battle, I feel EXTREMELY confident here. HexaDecimator lacks an effective self-righter as its flipper doesnt have the right amount of leverage to self-right. Simple here - flick HexaDecimator over, or OOTA, it wont be too tricky to get under him with my 18hp drive or to OOTA him with my 1400kg-1700kg flipping force. Out of the other two, I would rather take out Black Panther NOW than to fight him later, so when his back is turn charge in, get under, push to the edge and score another OOTA, so me and Joey can go through.

SOR X (21) vs. Under Pressure vs. Battle Raptor 5 vs. Fatality: SOR X wont like going head-to-head with Under Pressure, so I believe the seed will go out here. Out of the others, Under Pressure to go out as well.

Heat Winner: I LOVE my chances here, but my main competition is FATALITY.

Heat D:
Killobite Hex (7) vs. Nightmare vs. Tsunami vs. Monolith: Monolith will be useless if flipped, but I believe that the two vapourbots will go through.

Knyfe (23) vs. Killotine: EVO vs. Leviathan vs. Gemini: YES! This is a GREAT draw for Knyfe - a clusterbot that will be made mincemeat of, Killotine: EVO who I believe I can pummel, and a Behemoth-esque opponent. I wish to team-up with Leviathan, so me and Danny can take out Killotine together. My weapon choice will be...

5: A 15mm Hardox wedge angled at 42* with an extension, perfect for deflecting vertical spinners and getting under other robots.

This weapon set-up will make my front end as heavy as possible, and allow me to get underneath Killotine each time, and just pummel him. Open the pit, and pit Killotine, or let Leviathan OOTA him. Gemini will be easy to beat, so thats fine.

Heat Winner: Again, I like my chances, but LEVIATHAN is my main rival in this heat - GO DANNY!

Heat E:
Flick of the Wrist 2 (9) vs. Hex Appeal vs. WORCK-ER vs. Symmetry: Balls! This is annoying - Hex Appeal I dont understand but it doesnt pose much of a threat to me, but the others do! Try and dispose of Symmetry as quickly as possible by OOTAing him, then get rid of Hex Appeal. If Flikc joins in, get under his high GC and stack him against the walls.

Tengu VII (25) vs. Boxed In vs. Sakura vs. Sithis: Tengu VII through for sure - gont know about the rest.

Heat Winner: Id say that in the Heat Final Flicks armour would let it down, so I say TENGU VII

Heat F:
Achilles (11) vs. Walk Don€™t Run 4 vs. Dead Horse Beater vs. Obsidian: Achilles through certainly, possibly with Dead Horse Beater.

Macduff the 4th (27) vs. MORD2 vs. Robo-Panda vs. 13 Black: Bye 13 Black. Bye Robo-Panda. MORD and MacDuff through.

Heat Winner: I pick ACHILLES.

Heat G:
Cat with Wheels (13) vs. Kracko vs. BIACS-LE vs. Mega Masher 2: Cat With Wheels has it tough, but if he takes out Mega Masher, it should be easy for him to just take out Kracko.

Sideswipe (29) vs. The May Tracks Has You vs. Robo-Bee vs. MeCannibal 3.0: You want to destroy me Ben? My weapon is a 10mm Hardox ring running the whole perimeter of my robot, made of 1 piece of Hardox, so hit my weapon as much as you wish - Ill destory you before you destroy me. His drum is a 25kg drum, but how fast is it - it doesnt say in the stats. My plan is to destroy the robot trying to destory me. Hit the drums supports, and break them so the drum will break off. Then pummel that 6mm Ti armour with my 2 large Hardox teeth desgined for shock damage so they can use all 155kj that spinner produces.Once Robo-Bee has been destoryed, go after one of the others if they havent finished each other off. Go after the seed and knock him off balance. If that doesnt work, just kill him :wink:

Heat Winner: I have to go with BIACS-LE here.

Heat H:
Dervish: The L337 Generation (15) vs. Nitro-Gene 5.0 vs. Axe-o-Lotl vs. Dendroaspis: Dont like the sound of Dendroapsis, so take him out first. Then move on to Axe-O-Lotl - Id rather take on Dervish later.

Intriguer (31) vs. Bubonic Plague vs. Robo-Mammoth vs. Baldur Gamma: Intriguer through certainly, and hell be joined by whoever survives

Heat Winner: One word here - INTRIGUER!!!

Heat I:
Axeon 3.0 (16) vs. Requiem vs. Whirligig 4.5 vs. Slammer VI: Axeon 3.0 and Whirligig to kick butt

Shredding Madness (32) vs. Robo-Platypus vs. Wedginator Devilution vs. Blue Sparks: The seed to die here, along with whoever Wedginator wants to kill.

Heat J:
Spin Dash Unleashed (14) vs. Axe Awe vs. Splinter vs. Firestorm V: The vapourbot certainately through, possibly with Firestorm V.

Die-Ceratops ReInvertus (30) vs. PTT5 vs. Pure Evil: Back to Basics vs. The Rock: I wish to team-up with Chris here, and take out PTT5 and Pure Evil. Ill go for PTT5 first, as I can go underneath the bar. Push into the sides, push against the wall, and then pummel the bar, mostly that the part where it spins so it breaks off. If this fails, pit him. If Die-Ceratops struggles to finish Pure Evil, join in taking out Daniel.

Heat Winner: I think that DIE-CERATOPS REINVERTUS will win here.

Heat K:
Cyclone Force 3 (12) vs. Drilla Killa VII vs. Stiltskin vs. Inferno: I like Stiltskin, and wish to team-up on the others with Joey. Go for Cyclone Force and try to rip some panels off by breaking bolts, then go for Drilla Killa if hes still alive.

Monsoon Magnus (2 vs. Axe to Fall 2 vs. Paralyzation 2 vs. Seung Mina V: Ohhhhhhh...not sure Axe To Fall will survive. Out of the three remaining, I go for the seed to advance, and for Seung Mina to return to greatness

Heat Winner: I like the look STILSKIN, so Joey FTW.

Heat L:
Orka MK.4 (10) vs. No Consequences vs. Liar 2 vs. SYNDOS: Orka may wish revenge upon Liar 2 for C&B2, so those two may fight a bit. Its betwen those two on who joins SYNDOS in the nest round.

Dante (26) vs. Macbeth vs. Traffic Warden vs. Chaos 2: Traffic Warden is unique, but not as effective as the others, so I go for Dante and Macbeth to go through.

Heat Winner: Go ORKA MK.4!!!

Heat M:
Mantis ( vs. Spring-BOK! vs. Terrorhurtz vs. Robo-Mosquito: Robo-Mosquito is out already - Both the realies through.

E Clawdius Unum (24) vs. Hypotension Mk.3 vs. Tornado vs. Darkestar: Torando is going to get OOTAed almost at the start. E Clawdius or Darkestar will follow - Hypertension is through already.

Heat Winner: Awesome flippers FTW - HYPERTENSION MK.3 through!

Heat N:
Supreme (6) vs. Holepunch 2.0 vs. Robo-Hedgehog vs. Roo 2: Supreme irritatingly will go through straight away, with Roo 2.

Razer (22) vs. Rupture vs. Eternia vs. The 6isc: Rupture and Eternia through, sending the others down the pit or OOTA.

Heat Winner: I say that ETERNIA will outclass everyone to win!

Heat O:
Back to Rock III (4) vs. X-Terminator vs. Deadbeat vs. Squish Reincarnated: Back To Rock III is certainately through, but I dont know who with.

Envy (20) vs. Turbo Tails vs. Crimson Thunder vs. Ha-Ka: Turbo Tails is out already, possibly with Ha-Ka.

Heat Winner: I go for the one, the only - CRIMSON THUNDER.

Heat P:
Wedge Devolution (2) vs. Cobalt vs. Heimlich vs. Tira IV: The ex-champ certainately through, with Tira IV in my opinion.

Gabriel III (1 vs. G5orce vs. Death Threat 0.2 vs. Leprosy Infection: Gabriel II and Ge5orce through here, by OOTAing everything.

Heat Winner: WEDGE DEVOLUTION - I dont think anyone, even Ge5orce has anything on it.

Good luck everyone - this should be fun!

[pcbore]

Thanks Leo. If Robo Sheep is coming for me, Ill go for him. Flip him on the flame pit first to burn all that fur off so I can safely use the drum, then spend the rest of the fight trying to pit him.

If I get him pitted, attack Ramminator and put him on top of Robo-Sheep.

By the way Paul, Masamune has been around a lot longer than Exertion or Nidhog. Just under different names:wink:

[joey_picus]

Hex Appeal is a very large 120something kj full body spinner Paul, maybe you could reconsider it not posting a threat to you? :P

[paulc]

It is a threat yes. Change of plan - stack Symmetry, then stack Flick. I dont want to get battered.

[neontetra23]

Sorry, Mistake: Robo-Bee: avoid everything, occasionally go for The May Tracks
