FRFFT: Series Two

**eene** · 3rd January 2009, 18:23

You neednt worry, Joey. You still have some robots out there!

Anyway, since theres nothing else to do, heres the next fight!

Welcome back! Last time, Dervish mauled the opposition and won along with Blue Hurricane. Due to damage sustained during the fight, Blue Hurricane may not fight in Round 2. Kody doesnt want that to happen, even though he would take Samuels place. Sportsmanship all around then.

Four superheavyweights now. Dont blink, or you might miss it!

From California in the USA, Toro!

Defeated by Ziggy last time, Toro, entered by Samuel, hopes to go all the way with its Co2 powered flipper. The flipper has been unreliable before, though.

From California in the USA, The Judge!

Another American real robot, The Judges weapon is a large axe/hammer that can cause some damage. Paul entered it for this series. However, it has no srimech and has been unreliable in Battlebots in the past.

From Wales, SLAM!

Liam entered this 4WD box wedge. The weapon is a lifting arm, although it prefers to ram the other robots around. Its invertible, but the weapon doesnt work the other way around.

From England, Shovearound 2.0!

Another 4WD box wedge, entered by AJ. Shovearound is armed with Panic Attack style lifting forks to get a robot then drag it around. The forks arent usable if its flipped, though.

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

SLAM charges straight at Toro and rams it into the wall! Toro bounces off, avoiding a hit by The Judge, who turns around to go after it. Shovearound 2.0 bashes into Paul and starts to lift The Judge up with the lifting forks. SLAM breaks the pair up, toppling The Judge onto its side. Shovearound pushes The Judge onto its top. Toro comes in and flips The Judge back into its wheels, only to be pushed into the CPZ by SLAM! Liam is determined to get rid of it! Toro is lifted up and onto its side. The Judge whacks Toro with the axe, but Toro self-rights and turns on The Judge. It gets underneath AND throws The Judge out of the arena! That wasnt expected! The Judge is out, but SLAM isnt scared by that. It charges at Toro, but misses, allowing Toro to come around the side and FLIP it upside down! Shovearound pushes Toro from the side and starts to lift it up. Toro pushed onto its side! It self-rights, but is pushed onto the flame pit by SLAM! Shovearound presses the pit release button. Toro is being carried closer, but not into the pit! SLAM spares it and pushes it against the angle grinder! Toro escapes and gets revenge by HURLING Shovearound upside down! SLAM bumps into Toro and tries to push it away. Toro turns and flips SLAM the right way up. AJ slams into Liams robot and starts to push it towards the pit! Liam uses the lifter to flip himself away. Toro gets in from behind and pushes SLAM towards the pit! SLAMs wheels are off the ground, so Liam cant push back. Toro flips SLAM...INTO THE pit! What an end! Liam goes out! Toro, after a rocky start, comes back to claim victory along with Shovearound 2.0!

Cease!

The Judge gets put to death. SLAM is slammed!

Toro and Shovearound 2.0 go into the next round!

Thats all for Heat A! But next time, the return of Featherweight Champion Deadly Lampshade and Superheavyweight Champion Ziggy! See you then!

...I spared my opponent? Why?

And why didnt I self-right? and why did my flipper feebly tip robots onto their sides? and how would al my wheels be off the ground if Toro (who doesnt have a wedge) got under me? My back ones would sat on the ground and theres enough power there to outpush Toro easily.

That was very strange...

Youre right, Liam. Now that I picture it, the outcome should have been different

**swimm3r** · 3rd January 2009, 20:28

so...

**eene** · 3rd January 2009, 20:38

Would you like the battle to be rewritten?

**swimm3r** · 3rd January 2009, 20:39

I dont mind losing, i would just rather lose fairly

**eene** · 3rd January 2009, 20:44

If it keeps the population happy

The judges noticed some discrepencies in the previous match. They have called for a rematch. Samuel, Liam, Paul and AJ all want it. The robots will start off where they originally were

3-2-1: Activate!

SLAM takes a change of tactics and smashes into The Judge! Toro breaks the pair up, but HURLS The Judge on its back! Shovearound 2.0 rams SLAM from behind and activates the lifting forks. The Judge self-rights and comes back on the attack of Toro. Samuel flips it over AGAIN! Shovearound carries SLAM over to the flame pit and lets it go! The Judge self-rights, but Toro flips it...not over again! The Judge SMACKS Toro with the axe, but Samuel is unfazed and instead charges for SLAM! OHH! SLAM is thrown onto its back, it self-rights with the lifting arm, but Toro crashes in again and pushes it towards the wall! Will SLAM go out...NO! Toro flipped it into the CPZ. Shovearound 2.0 presses the pit release button and is bumped by The Judge who strikes it with the axe. SLAM has escaped and gets under Toro! AND over it goes! Toro self-rights, but SLAM comes in again and pushes all the way INTO the pit! What a shock! Toro is out! SLAM turns around and pushes The Judge into the wall! The impact echoes through the arena, The Judge was flipped over in the process. It self-rights, but now its stuck on top of the angle grinder! SLAM comes in and helps it down, only for Shovearound to get underneath and lift it up! Paul fires the axe, trying to get away, but Shovearound directs it over to the pit! AJ goes full speed, but SLAM hits Shovearound from the side. The Judge topples over again and gets bashed by Shovearound again. Paul self-rights, but SLAM comes in from behind and SMACKS him into the wall once again! The Judge turns away and fires the axe at thin air. A cloud of Co2 purs out of The Judge, did that impact damage the Co2 canisters that power the axe? Shovearound gets the forks under once again and starts to lever it over! The axe of The Judge is stuck in the fired position. Its on its back, and I think Paul and Joshua Little have very little chance now! The Refbot comes in to count them out. They were beaten in the original match anyway, but they did well to stay in this long.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
SLAM pushes The Judge onto the floor flipper. And away it goes! Crashing to the floor! Something comes off. I think it was the removable link! SLAM pushes it over the dropzone. The punishment isnt ending here! I can see what appears to be another bouy on the drop zone!
3-2-1: DROP!
OHH! The Judges armour has a large dent in it! Shovearound and SLAM push it towards the pit. Toro is taking up too much space, though!

Cease!

They wanted a rematch, and they got it! The Judge doesnt get off lightly this time, and Toro is put down!

SLAM and Shovearound 2.0 are the winners!

Bye, everyone. See you later!

You should seriously follow tactics, ELLIOT. I specifically said not to use the flipper until Dervish was out of the picture, and how could the flipper gash from Dervishs weapon if it was closed? (Dervish has an egg-beater, not a drum by the way, the egg-beater much more violent weapon that sends bots flying instead of rips :P) Also, why did I attack Blue Hurricane? I specifically said not to attack it unless it attacked me in turn, and it didnt. Im not happy.
