Gabriel III tactics:

If Im allowed, remove the front spikes as they might get in the way a bit...if Im not allowed, no worries, doesnt affect my tactics too much anyway :P
Basically charge straight at it - my front point and the skirts should enable me to concentrate all my ramming energy in one spot and thus get underneath the scoop; if this doesnt happen then ram it from different angles until I do get under it, then once under it carry on and try to get it to tip over onto its side and thus get stranded, using the flipper as necessary but I should be able to manage it just with the shape. Once its beached on its side, leave it there while its time runs out rather than do anything stupid that might get it back on its wheels. In theory, anyway.

Gluck Chez, and to Lewis as well with your first tourney, looks like itll be good.

Yep, remarkably quick on the mark, thats me. When Im online, that is.

Round 1
Do or Die vs Gabriel III

Think I see Gabriel going down the pit here.

MeCannibal 3.0 vs Sheer Heart Attack 2

If MeCannibal doesnt explode due to its pure crapness, itll win. :P But my money is on Sheer Heart Attack.

Spin Dash Unleashed vs The Zodiac

Ah, a Steven fight. Good fun.

None too worried about the saw: to spin properly itd have to be at least 5mm above the ground, and my ground clearance is 6mm, so I dont really expect a repeat of Ziggo vs. Code Black. :wink: Even if Im not spinning, the 7mm Hardox shell should withstand the blows from the saw quite easily. Spin Dash has good power, but without the saw itll just got knocked away, or beach itself on the side of the Zodiacs shell since its sloped, if Zodiac isnt spinning.

Thats what it cant do to me. Now, for what Im going to do to it...

It has decent armour, but Im sure some good hits from my 149kJ shell should kill him after a few blows. The saw is definitely my first target nonetheless, since its unwise to leave an opponents weapon alone anyway. After the saw is gone, Ill take out everything else starting with the skirts. Im quite confident about this battle, and now I expect a witty remark from Steve as to why my plans wont work, but meh. :P

Good luck Steve anyhow.

Haldux 2.0 vs Leprosy Infection

Leprosy Infection, easily.

Awesome fights, I await thee. Seriously, good luck writing this Lewis, Im really looking forward to it.

Thanks Kody Given this is 3.0, not the 2.0 model, which you said to be a much greater improvement, I take it that it wont explode through sheer crappiness

Do or Die vs Gabriel III
Well - I NEVER thought Id see Chezza return to the vapourbot scene - where have you been I predict that once that scoop gets underneath Gabriel, Cheeza will return in style, and put Gabriel down the pit.

MeCannibal 3.0 vs Sheer Heart Attack 2
Sheer Heart Attack 2 is the robot I wouldve liked to face the most, as Im a full-body spinner, and hes a drum, so I have the greater amount of power in my weapon. Also, my drive is contained within my robot, not on the outside like SHA2. Plan obvious - spin up to full speed, tear off a track (immobilise 50% of the drive) and once counted out, make Kody take back that pure crappiness comment by then ripping SHA2 into as many bits as I can...just for fun

Good luck Martijn :wink:

Spin Dash Unleashed vs The Zodiac
- This is what will happen if Spin Dash wins. Sorry Steve, Kody has this one in the bag.

Haldux 2.0 vs Leprosy Infection
Look above - Leprosy to win easy.

Good luck with writing this Lewis - should be impressive
