RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

(BATTLE 3!)

From Toronto, Ontario, Tira 5!!

Fresh from Tira 4, this bot has got a huge vertical spinner spinning at 2500RPM max. It also sports a rear flipper as well, that can flip about 200kg. However, its past incarnation, Tira 4, has not done so well.

From Wales, Genocide!

Genocide is a monster of a competitor. This monster is a full body spinner, with a nice hardox shell spinning at 2000RPM! It can deal 97.8 kJ and it€™s enough to pack a punch, but it€™s got weak base armourment.

From Glasgow, Scotland, Traffic Warden!

Traffic Warden is a U-Shaped bot, with a great big clamping device that has got 3000psi inside, and if you get inside, you are pretty much screwed up. However, it€™s armoury is not the best by a long shot.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Tira 5, Genocide
Booth 2: Traffic Warden

Housies? That€™s right, it€™s Dead Metal and Cassius Chrome!

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

And they€™re off! Tira 5 immediately spins up, and look at that menacing shell of Genocide! It€™s spinning so fast, that you can€™t see the blades, there! Now, Tira 5 is immediately smashing into the side of Traffic Warden!
CRASH!!!!
Traffic Warden goes flying into the air€¦ and Traffic Warden€™s side is almost disintegrated! Now, Traffic Warden is charging at Tira and€¦
CRASH!!!
OH!!! The clamp grabs hold of Tira€™s disc! This does not look good, but Genocide comes in, and helps Tira by crashing into Traffic Warden€™s rear end! Traffic Warden tries to turn€¦ TOO LATE!
CRASH!!!!
AW MAN! Look at the back of Traffic Warden! Genocide has gouged through the titanium armour, and Traffic Warden is taking a severe punishment here! Now, Tira 5 frees itself, and slams into the back of Traffic Warden with the flipper, and flips it over! Now, Tira 5 quickly turns with the disc!
CRASH!!!
WHOA-HO! That sends a chunk of armour FLYING across the arena€¦ and I think that hit must€™ve immobilized Traffic Warden! Its clamp is moving, but nothing else is! Kody and Liam slam hands with each other in the control pod! The Refbot comes in, and counts the beaten clamp-bot out!
1€¦ 2€¦ 3€¦ 4€¦ 5€¦ 6€¦ 7€¦
8€¦
9€¦
10!!!
Now, Dead Metal comes in€¦ and just when you thought the house robots were OK, Tira 5 slams into Dead Metal, DISC-FIRST into the claws!
CRASH!!!
OH€¦ MY€¦ GOD. Dead Metal€™s claw is gone€¦ and Genocide immediately SLAMS into the back of Cassius Chrome, striking it at FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh. Cassius Chrome€™s back has been totally bent out of shape, and now, Refbot gives both of them a yellow card! Kody doesn€™t like that one bit, so he gets under the side of Refbot with the back wedge and activates the flipper! The Refbot turns over to its side, and Genocide comes in again, and punches the face of the ref with the shell!
CRASH!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! The refbot is decapitated! Now, Genocide tries to finish off the peeved Ref, but€¦

CEASE!

Traffic Warden is battered into submission.
Tira 5 and Genocide go through!

[kodster]

yay

[samuel3764]

I think Ill post up the fight tomorrow evening. That is, depending on how much homework I get from school...

[samuel3764]

I really should€™ve gotten this fight up earlier. XD

(BATTLE 4!!)

From Hoogvilet, in Holland, Sideswipe!

Sideswipe is going to swipe you if you don€™t run away. It€™s also got a blade on the front spinning at 6000RPM! It can also self right using the blade but the thing I€™m worried about is the lack of strong armour.

From Pontefract in Yorkshire, No Consequences!

No Consequences is the traditional translational spinner spinning at 1000RPM, energy output€¦ goodness me. A horrifying 130kJ! It has a very nice lifter as well, that can lift about a tonne, but its weakness? Runaway steamrollers? Uh€¦ Okaaaaaaaaaaay€¦

From Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, Hex Appeal!

Ah, the old MDU clone€¦ *sniffles* brings back memories. *Blows nose* Anyway, a nice cylinder shaped robot with a walking system, a full body spinner spinning at 1200RPM, and a nasty 117kJ€™s per hit! *Shudders* Hex Appeal ain€™t no ordinary MDU!

Roboteers, Stand by€¦!

Booth 1: Sideswipe
Booth 2: No Consquences, Hex Appeal

Cassius Chrome and Growler are the housies this time around€¦ meh.

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!

All right. All of these robots start to spin up straight away€¦ Hex Appeal, looking a bit ponderous, crashes into Sideswipe€™s front blade!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOAH HO!! Both robots go FLYING out of control! Now, there doesn€™t seem to be too much damage caused to any of these robots€¦ No Consequences immediately moves towards Sideswipe and Sideswipe turns and retaliates using the blade!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!
Both bots go flying out of control, again! Sideswipe spins up again, but Hex Appeal now crashes into the rear of Sideswipe, at FULL GYROSCOPIC SPEED!!! Sideswipe tries to turn, but€¦
CRASH!!!!!!!
That€™s€¦ whoa. Sideswipe€™s rear end has been totally destroyed, there!
CRASH!!!!!!
OH!!!! There€™s another BRUTAL attack to Sideswipe given by No Consequences, and Sideswipe, I think, is immobile€¦ WAIT! No it isn€™t! It€™s JUST managing to hang on€¦ only just. Its blade is spinning, and the machine is moving around in circles, and Hex Appeal strikes the other side of Sideswipe!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!
OH!!! That took a nice chunk of armour out€¦ and I think that the initial attack from Hex Appeal immobilized Sideswipe! Leo makes an X with his arms, shaking his head, knowing he has been beaten. Refbot counts Sideswipe out!
1€¦ 2€¦ 3€¦ 4€¦ 5€¦ 6€¦ 7€¦
8€¦
9€¦
10!!!!
€¦ and Sideswipe is about to be swiped from the warzone. Cassius Chrome comes in for the kill, and gives the beaten machine the old one-two jabs, and the pit has been activated by Hex Appeal, and oh no€¦ Cassius Chrome puts Sideswipe onto the drop zone! I wonder what is in the box, now? The countdown starts! Joey and Daniel chant along with the audience!
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦ 7€¦ 6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦ 3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦
CRASH!!!!!!!
It€™s a giant refrigerator tumbling down from 36ft above! Finally, Sideswipe gets the bite and it gets pushed into the pit by Growler. BOOM!
CRASH!!!!!
Whoa, WHAT€™S THIS?!! Hex Appeal crashes into the back of Cassius Chrome, smashing a whole sheet of armour off! Now, No Consequences, tries lifting the ref€¦ and€¦ Joey€™s done it!!!! He€™s flipped the Rebot! No Consequences now nudges the exceptionally peeved Refbot near the pit€¦ but goodness me, I do NOT think that there€™s room for it down there! Hex Appeal comes in again, the shell slowly coming to a stop€¦
CRASH!!
Refbot has tumbled into the pit (on top of Sideswipe ), FINALLY! Now, Joey and Dan slam hands with each other. In the other control pod, Leo laughs in the sight of the Refbot being humiliated! Gallant contender!

CEASE!

Sideswipe is swiped from the warzone.
No Consequences and Hex Appeal go through!

Round 2 Line-Ups

Ge5orce VS Genocide
Dantu VS Back to Rock
Tira 5 VS No Consequences
Heyght 2 VS Hex Appeal

Tactics, Comments, Predictions and a nice warm blanket for my bed please.

[kodster]

Ge5orce vs. Genocide

Ge5orce, baby

Dantu vs. Back to Rock III

I actually think Dantu can get this one.

Tira V vs. No Consequences

Ah, how ironic. I just made the render for this bot. Well I wont lose to another Joey bot damnit. :P *inserts some awesome tactics below :P*

Right, this may sound crazy, but Im going to attack him while hes spinning so that he cant use the lifting arm, because I know that what he said about Tiras self-righting, and I dont plan on letting him exploit that even if she had a problem with the srimech. :P Ill back into him with the flipper, and run into the direction of his spin, so that he spins onto the flipper rather than biting into the back of the sides, then toss him over and attack the lifting arm with the disc while hes self-righting, hopefully destroying his only srimech and removing him from my presence. :P

If he decides to be a git and does attack with the lifting arm, try and hit the arm with the disc. You all know I love to destroy weapons. But generally hit him anywhere I can with the disc, if I catch him off-guard or anything.

If I get flipped, self-right anyway. The disc may be high, but the top sides of the scoops balance Tira V onto her back regardless, as I just realized, so boo to Joeys idea of putting rollbars on the sides. :P Just stay in the middle of the arena so I dont get in danger of being stacked, lol

But we all know Samuel disregards special tactics and just makes us kill each other until of us dies of death, so good luck Joey. I promise you youll need it this time around. :P

Heyght II vs. Hex Appeal

What do you think? For one its not gonna be a flipper...

Hoping for a spiffing Round 2, Sam-O.

Ge5orce vs. Genocide
Unless Ge5orce can stop the spinner, Im going to say that its WBC-esque shape is going to be its downfall, meanings its hard to turn, and Genocide will destr9oy the wheel guards, then win the JD.

Dantu vs. Back to Rock III
Im going AGAINST Kody here, as Back To Rock is a very boxy rammer, and at the 2006 UK Championships, Big Nipper beat Pulversier twice easily, and I say BTRIII will kick Dantus arse.

Tira V vs. No Consequences
Depends on how many times Tira V may get flipped over onto his back, as horizontal beats vertical, so Ill go for Joey to win.

Heyght II vs. Hex Appeal
Oh [BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP] Why do I get Hex Appeal? Im going to lose anyway, because Sam is spinner-bias, but I may as well put up a fight.
Ram into him as quickly as possible (20mph should be quick enough, because the Storm 2 team stated that 20mph is enough to get halfway across the arena in 1 second, so I should get to him quite quickly) slow his ring to a halt, then flip - I wont flip him OOTA straight away, but I may as well try

Good luck Daniel - like you need it :blush:

Good fights Sam - well wrote.

[joey_picus]

Right...well, given that this is Sam Park and regardless of what I post I am going to get trashed by Tiras disc even though it shouldnt happen, because Sam just ignores things like reality at times , I am going to try something different...
I wont spin at all, since that wont be as effective. Instead, I shall get in somehow and lift Tira over onto its back, and allow ein srimechproblemztungfeist to commence.

Good luck Kody, as if you needed it :P

Genocide VS Ge5orce

Roboteers, Stand By€¦!

Booth 1: Genocide
Booth 2: Ge5orce

Housies? The knight of the realm, Sir Killalot, and the robotic scorpion, Dead Metal!

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Now both of these robots showed great power in their first fights. Genocide immediately spins up and tries hitting the side of Ge5orce but Ge5orce does not let Genocide get to its side and€¦
FLIP!!
Genocide flies 9 feet up, and lands back onto their feet! Genocide immediately spins up again, and€¦
CRASH!!!
A wheel guard is badly crunched! Genocide needs to slap the side of Ge5orce with the spinning shell, and Liam does this again!
CRASH!!!
Liam looks very content with that hit, and Ge5orce does not seem to move freely anymore€¦ but that does not stop Ge5orce from getting underneath Genocide!
FA-LIP!!!
OH!! Genocide soars and almost nearly out of the arena there! Teetering, tottering and down it came again! Now, Genocide self-rights, and spins up immediately to strike the side of Ge5orce€¦
CRASH!!
€¦and look at the side of Ge5orce! The wheel guard is completely disintegrated, and almost close to coming off! Ge5ore retaliates and flips over Genocide!
FLIP!!
Ge5orce sends Genocide 8 feet up! Now Genocide immediately spins up again, and crashes into the side at full speed ahead!
CRASH!!!!!!
WOAH!! Genocides other wheel guard has been dislodged...and it€™s safe to say that Genocide has won this. Ge5orce is no longer moving and Refbot comes in and counts Ge5orce out.
1€¦ 2€¦ 3€¦ 4€¦ 5€¦ 6€¦ 7€¦
8€¦
9€¦
10!!!!

CEASE!

Ge5orce has crashed.
Genocide goes through to Round 3!

Tira 5 VS No Consequences

Roboteers, Stand By...!

Booth 1: Tira 5
Booth 2: No Consequences

Housy 1: A long robot with front pincers and saw. Housy 2: A scoop and axe combo. Yup, its Dead Metal and Shunt!

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

Tira 5 immediately spins up to full speed. No Consequences meanwhile... is... er... not. spinning. at. all. Instead, No Consequences immediately crashes into Tira 5, and lifts it up, but isnt really able to flip them. Now, Tira 5 comes in again, and crashes into the side of the translational spinner!
CRASH!!
Wa-hey! Tira 5 flips No Consequences over, but it self-rights immediately! Theres a small gash on No Consequences, not too visible. Now, Tira 5 going for the jugular on No Consequences again, and crashes right into the rear end!
CRASH!!!
Another magnificient flip there with the disc! Joey thinks he has had enough of this, so he is going for the spin mode! No Consequences has spun up to full speed, and hits Tira 5 right in the spun-up disc!
CRASH!!!!!!!
AND BOTH BOTS GO FLYING!! Now then, No Consequences just spins up again, and...
CRASH!!!!
WOAH!!!! Both goes flying again, and Tira 5 spins up again... and hits No Consequences before it gets up to full speed!
CRASH!!
Tira 5 just flips over No Consequences again with the flywheel! No Consequences self-rights and flips over Tira with its own lifting arm! But Tira self-rights and now, Tira spins up again... and...
CRASH!!!
POUNDED. Thats all I can say. No Consequences gets a good battering with the flywheel there! Now, coming in for the kill again, No Consequences starts to spin, but Tira finds No Consequences and pushes it into Shunts CPZ! The razor-sharp axe comes down!
WHACK!!
Not too much damage here caused by that axe, and now Tira 5 and No Consequences spin up again...
CRASH!!!!
WOAH-HO!! Both bots go flying here, and this is a very tight fight so far, and with 14 seconds remaining, I think it will go to a judges decision.
10... 9... 8...
Tira spins up again, and..
7... 6... 5... 4...
CRASH!!!
WOAH!!! That sends No Consequences flying into the CPZ, and it lands on its wheels with a loud thump!
3... 2... 1...

CEASE!
FLIP!

AHAHA!! Shunt is tipped over by No Consequencess lifter! Too late. Its all up to the judges now.

JD: Tira 5 / No Consequences

Damage: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
