FRFFT: The World Championships

Tactics are welcome, predictions

[joey_picus]

360 is in there, did a good job of bending DB5's disc up by all accounts.

Tactics:

360 will hit OverDrive until it (hopefully) stops

Steel Sandwich will get Hyper-Ventilate around the sides and/or rear and try to get it down the pit

N³ will lift Toad up at the sides to break its traction, clamp onto it with the crusher and pit it

Drive will shove Omega-Rex around, getting underneath the sides and rear, spiking it and at some stage delivering it to the pit.

Best of luck everyone

Swimm3r, can you tell me your real name, please? Sorry, but I don't remember who you are since they don't display peoples real names anymore

[eene]

Liam, I'm sorry I didn't recognise you! You are Swimm3r, I assume?

Any tactics you want to post? AJ, Lewis?

Tactics time!

360 vs. OverDrive

Sounds like a featherweight version of to me. It would make sense to follow the same tactics as Tornado used in that match. Keep the front facing 360 for as long as possible and keep driving into the disc to keep the speed low. Ram it into the walls as much as possible and push it into danger, hopefully the pit. My armour should hold up, especially at the front. If I can keep the disc speed slow, that shouldn€™t matter anyway.

The Eviscerator vs. Typhoon

Hmm, not sure we can do much damage to each other here. I€™ll just spin up as much as possible and unleash some heavy hits. Hopefully I€™ll get lucky and tear a panel off or cause some shock damage.

Vengeance vs. Fissure

The design of Fissure€™s lifting arm makes it ideal for getting under skirts. After that, I€™ve got six wheel slots to get into and try and lift Vengeance up. Then it€™s just a case of dumping it into the pit. My armour should be able to stand up to the axe. Hopefully I should be able to control this match, especially if it can get in those wheel slots.

Vertigo vs. UberForce 2.0

€¦hit and run?

Good luck to all. Let€™s have another good little tournament.

Welcome to FRFFT: The World Championships! First up, we have a featherweight battle between 360 and Overdrive.

As usual, there won't be any house robots except Refbot.

From the UK, 360!

Entered by Joey, 360 is basically a smaller version of Hypno-Disc, but still as dangerous. The disc can cause heavy damage, but it is light, and could be pushed around.

From England, Overdrive!

Entered by AJ, this robot is a box on wheels that rams its opponents and pushes them around the arena. Its fast, but how effective will it be?

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

What a way to begin the World Championships! 360 spins up and tries to get around the side of Overdrive, but AJ turns to push 360 from the side! OH! And into the wall! The disc has stopped spinning! Overdrive tries to push it again, but 360 backs away. Overdrive gives chase, but 360s disc has spun up to full speed. Overdrive charges in...OHH! Sparks fly and Overdrive is spun away a bit. No damage, the armour is quite strong. 360 comes in again, but Overdrive just charges head on again. It pushes 360 to one side but gets clipped by the disc. Joey gets away to the centre of the arena. Overdrive goes...where is it going? The pit release! It presses the button, down goes the pit. 360 needs to avoid that and chases after Overdrive. Overdrive doubles back and hits 360 again! Pushing it around and ALMOST into the pit! 360 gets away. Overdrive pushes from the side and onto the flame pit. 360 gets away again, but Overdrive pushes back. It's faster, Overdrive, at 15mph. Is the disc on 360 still working? Its spinning slowly. Now, Joey pushes Overdrive around and into the wall. Overdrive gets away and turns to push 360 toward the CPZ, but 360 turns away. I think all this pushing around has slowed 360 down. It turns around, but Overdrive is relentless and pushes it into the wall again! Joey tries to get away, but Overdrive pushes from behind and towards the PIT! 360 on the edge! Overdrive pushes again and OHH. Down goes 360! What a fight! Unlucky, Joey. Well done to Overdrive.

Cease!

360 in the pit.
Overdrive goes through to the final!

Sorry if that was short and a bit uncreative. Its been a while since I've written anything.

Liam, I assume your robors are represnting Wales. Are you still here?

Joey, where is everybody? Just wondering.

[eene]

I need some advice.

I don't know if everyone from the old forum has checked into this one yet, which is a problem because I don't know if Liam is here. I need his country for this and his tactics.

I know its slow moving at the moment, but I don't think the FRFFT chain will continue very long. Like I said, you may have known this forum was coming, but I didn't. I'm not too sure why, though

Sorry for any inconvenience

[joey_picus]

Quick tip...the new forum came into being on 18 March. Anyone who has posted since then is aware of the new forum and has logged on it (Liam has, for example, but as he says in the Easter Bunny Championships thread he's on holiday and can't get online), and I think most of the community have found it (the only worrying exception is Lewis, who hasn't been seen in a while)

And like I've said before you should have seen it coming, the announcements made, the emails sent and the fact the old forum now leads to a redirect page should have helped there.

I haven't cancelled this. I believe in fairness, so I'll wait for Liam and Lewis to post their tactics for this. Until then, I've decided to stay on real robots for now. Hope you understand

You'll be waiting a long time then, because Lewis hasn't re-registered on the forum.
