woot! yay!
nice fight mate!
Next fight tommorow or later, guys
So far through to Round Two, we have Storm II, Typhoon II and Biohazard. Next, the last Round One battle.
From San Francisco, in California, Nightmare!
This robot has taken chunks out of its opponents in Battlebots with its spinning disc. The wheels are exposed and it has no scrimech, though.
From Miami, in Florida, Surgeon General!
Once a Battlebots quarterfinalist, the Surgeon General is armed with a large spinning disc that has obliterated other robots in the past. Its invertible, but it is unreliable.
From San Francisco, in California, Voltronic.
Battlebots current runner up, Voltronic is an invertible wedge with a lifting arm powered by a wheelchair actuator. The robot has been runner up many times before, so no limit of success, but it is slow and the wheels are exposed.
Roboteers, stand by!
B1: Nightmare, Surgeon General
B2: Voltronic
House Robots: Shunt and Matilda
3-2-1: Activate!
Surgeon General heads immedietly for Nightmare, who turns to face Voltronic. Surgeon General turns away to get at Voltronic, who is the slowest of the group. OH! Sparks fly and Voltronic is spun away. Stevens tactics were to get under the side of Surgeon General, but he isnt having much luck at the moment. Nightmare strikes the back of Voltronic, only to be hit by Surgeon General itself. Something came flying off! What was that? The camera will...OH! Show us, but its a part of the armour of Nightmare! Voltronic turns to get under Surgeon General and tries to lift it over, but Nighitmare strikes the back and knocks Surgeon General off Voltronics lifter. Voltronic tries to chase after Suregon General, but Nightmare strikes it again. Voltronic almost flipped over by the disc! Surgeon General turns around to face Nightmare and hits it on the side again! What was that that came off now!? Voltronic is staying out of trouble but Surgeon General hits it again. Voltronic has had a terrible time of it in this fight, but it comes back anyway. And NOW we can see what came off Nightmare. It was part of the wheel! The rubber tyre has been split off! Daniel looks very concerned. Voltronic turns around to get under the crippled Nightmare. Surgeon General presses the pit release button, tearing it off the wall! Nightmare can only move in circles, but Voltronic lifts it over and onto its side! The disc takes a massive BITE out of the arena floor, but Nightmare has no self-righting mechanism. Refbot comes in as Matilda stays out of view, ready to come in.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Voltronic tries to get around the side of Surgeon General, but Surgeon General is too quick and hits Voltronic on the side! Voltronic spun away near the angle grinder. The lifting arm is still working, but only one drive is! OHH! Matilda hit Nightmare with her flywheel and the disc is buckled! Shunt comes in and he pushes Nightmare onto the drop zone! Surgeon General hits Voltronic on the side again. Theres an oven on the drop zone and the crowd want it to fall on Voltronic.
3-2-1!
Down it comes. And it CRUSHES Nightmares frame. One of the wheel supports is bent. Voltronic, I think, will last to the judges decision. Kody celebrates, he and the Surgeon General team have done enough to get through.
Cease!
Nightmare gets totalled! Voltronic and Surgeon General go to the judges.
Voltronic: S: 2 C: 1 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 6
Surgeon General: S: 3 C: 2 D: 3 A: 3 Total: 11
Surgeon General goes into the next round!
But before Round Two, a special event. This is made from robots I myself have picked, so just predict. Aside from British and American robots, we have six robots in the pits from six different countries who want to take something home to show their people. They are
Tornado (UK) VS Gravity (Neth) VS Hard (Belg) VS Manta (USA) VS Ansgar III (Ger) VS Crushtacean (S Afr)
I hope you liked this fight as much as I liked typing it
See you later
Mantas a cool design and its way underrated, Im hoping he does something here.
But after the World Championships, we have round two
Typhoon II VS Storm II
Biohazard VS Surgeon General
Tactics, predictions, complaints welcome
meh
spin up, keep away until im at full speed, then chase him down when I am
Manta and Gravity look to be the ones to watch out for; Ill go with Gravity though. One flip and Tornados doomed. Unless they brought their cage. Then theyll win. But Im assuming not.
Typhoon 2 vs. Storm II
Keep up the aggression, keep hitting him whether hes spun up or not. Aim to get him on his back or in the pit.
Biohazard vs. Surgeon General
Im gonna try for a repeat of Biohazard vs. Mechavore, and slice that lifting arm off, or at least disable it. Then go to work on the titanium skirts. Keep up the attacks too win the decision based on damage, hopefully.
Good luck Jack and Tony, and lets have a spiffing Semi, eh ELLIOT, because that was a good last battle.
Before we continue with the main competition, lets take a break to watch a special event. Six robots from six countries are coming into the arena to prove which one is really the best in the world.
From Germany, Ansgar III!
A walking robot, Ansgar III has a powerful spinning blade at the front which can take robots out in only a few goes. It has no self-righting mechanism and can be unreliable, though.
From South Africa, Crushtacean!
This crab shaped robot is invertible and has two crushing claws powered by special gloves. The wheels are exposed and sometimes it is hard to control.
From the Netherlands, Gravity!
A semifinalist in Robot Wars and a heat finalist in Dutch Robot Wars, Gravity is armed with a powerful CO2 flipper. The wheels are partially exposed and can be punctured easily.
From Belgium, Hard!
A wedge with a flipper, Hard was one of the few Belgian robots that fought in the Dutch Robot Wars. Its very hard to get hold of and has tough armour, but it is unreliable.
From the USA, Manta!
A semi-finalist in the US Robot Wars, Manta is a 6WD box with a spinning disc on the front and a spike on the back. It has loads of pushing power, but has no srimech.
From the UK, Tornado!
The winner of Series 6 of Robot Wars and Third place winner of Series 7, Tornado is a box with interchangable weapons. The drive chain, however, can come off.
Roboteers, stand by!
B1: Ansgar III, Crushtacean, Gravity
B2: Hard, Manta, Tornado (Lifter)
House Robots: Mr Psycho, Sir Killalot, Growler
3-2-1: Activate!
Off they go! Tornado heads towards Gravity. Hard gets a SMACK from Ansgar III, who is pushed from behind by Manta. Crushtacean tries to grab Gravity, but gets FLIPPED away! Tornado pushes Gravity into the wall, but Gravity gets away. OHH! Sparks fly as Ansgar gives Hard another hit! Manta pushes the Belgian entry away, only to be hit by Ansgar itself! Crushtacean seems to be lost, but Manta recovers from the earlier hit and pushes the crab towards the pit release button. Growler comes out of his CPZ to look at Hard, who isnt moving. I told you it was unreliable earlier on. Tornado pushes Ansgar from behind, but Gravity collides with the walkers spinning blade and is SPUN away! Theres a small gash in the flipper, but nothing else. Crushtacean tries to grab Manta, but Manta, with six wheels, just knocks it to one side. Gravity gets under and pushes Crushtacean towards the wall and OUT IT goes! NO! Crushtacean stuck against the angle grinder, but lucky to hold on! Hard is being counted out. Manta gives it a nudge.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Gravity gets hit on the side by Ansgar! I think Gravitys mobility has been impaired. Mr Psycho strikes Hard with his hammer and pushes the Belgian robot towards the pit! DOWN it goes! Manta hits Ansgar again and OH! One of the eyes gets cut! That had to hurt! Tornado pushes Manta from the side. Crushtacean hasnt been moved. It was stuck against an angle grinder by an opponent, so Refbot cant free it. Its being counted out, though. Thats a shame
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Tornado gets around the side of Ansgar, taking a slight hit from the spinning disc. Pushing it over the flame pit! Ansgar tries to get away, but Tornado pushes it towards the wall. OUCH! The wall is shattered! Gravity pushed by Manta towards the CPZ, where Sir Killalot waits! The claws grab onto the flipper and lift Gravity into the air. Ansgar gets away, but have the electrics been damaged. Gravity dropped on the arena floor. Tornado chases Manta into the corner. Growler pushes Gravity towards the pit, but Gravity is still slightly mobile, so Growler lets it go. The last ten seconds are counting down. Ansgar has stopped moving and I think smoke is coming out of it! Tornado gets hit by Manta. I think Tornado and Manta are the only ones that are still moving here. The judges will have to decide.
Cease!
What an action packed battle. Two robots were counted out and four were left standing. The judges will make their decision now.
Ansgar III: S: 2 C: 2 D: 2 A: 3 Total: 9
Gravity: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 7
Manta: S: 2 C: 2 D: 2 A: 2 Total: 8
Tornado: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10
Its controversial, but Tornado wins! Well done to them.
Later on, Round Two and another special event!
I was not being biased in that fight. I hope you believe me on that
Biased? Not really. Again, kinda short though. Getting slightly better.
