WARGH, me again. :/

Featherweight Melee 2
Small System Shock vs. Innis vs. Sith vs. Redemption

From Cardiff in Wales...Small System Shock!
A very wide and invertible featherweight box with immense pushing power, Hardox armour and a static wedge in front like Tornado to push other robots around. Its length is questionable, however...

From Patricia, Canada...Innis!
This rounded box has a vicious spinning disc on its rather pointed front end with two tool steel teeth. Mildly nippy, aluminium armoured, and invertible, it'll rip you to shreds, but its turning power may prove weak.

From Geddinton...Sith!
It can get under you competely...small spatulas help this wedge with slanted sides do just that. Approach it from the side and you're still likely to end up on its actuated flipping arm. Kevlar body armour and windscreen wiper motors for drivetrain tell the rest of this feather's tale.

From Pontefract...Redemption!
This steel, titanium, and polycarbonate parallelogram wedge has two vertical grinding blades to grind you, and two Bosch motors to push you around all day. Very fast for a featherweight and invertible, it's here to redeem...itself?

Roboteers, stand by...

Back to the Battlegrounds we go, then...more middleweight house robot fun too, as Perseus and Cassandra who is part of the Alexandra Sisters: Retribution clusterbot, take their places.

ACTIVATE!

Let the feathers fly! It's Redemption who's off to the quickest start, and Sith is right up with it! Small System Shock joins in as well as Innis, and we've got a fight here already! In comes Sith with the flip on Redemption, but it doesn't matter much as Redemption is invertible, however System Shock charges under Sith and carries it across the arena, slamming it hard against the arena wall and knocking Sith several feet away! Blimey, that was an impact! Sith, looking for revenge, is cut from the path when Innis move in from the side!

CRASH!

The kevlar doesn't hold up well at all, a great tear is made down the side as Sith is sent flying back! Redemption...doesn't take Innis onto its wedge...oh ho ho ho, we've got another team-up again! Liam and Alex know it now too; they turn, nod to each other, and suddenly it's become a tag-team terror! Sith comes back on the attack, trying to overturn Innis and does so, but Redemption wedges it from the rear and carries it across the arena for a ram...when suddenly System Shock catches up from behind and slams them all into the wall! Sith goes flying but Redemption remains trapped on System Shock's wedge! Innis spins its blade back up to speed, but System Shock turns its attention to it now! It leaves Redemption there and bores full in on the spinner! Tracy tries to avoid the assault...and does so! Well that charge wasn't very accurate, Liam. And to make things worse, Redemption's back and looking to defend Innis from a brutal ram! Sith however makes that a bit harder, catching the rear of Redemption and flipping it over...but that leaves it wide open for another Innis-ing!

CRASH!!

Innis delivers a huge hit, and the impact sends both bots flying! Sith goes flying further and now both its sides are beaten, broken, and scarred! Redemption meanwhile has rammed System Shock but has failed to get under it and is now being taken to the arena wall and OH! That's wretched! Right into the CPZ where Perseus is! And Perseus' brings down his hammer...AND HITS SYSTEM SHOCK!? Oh dear, what on earth?! System Shock went too far into the danger arena, sending Redemption off a bit and leaving it in clear hammering position! Can System Shock...yes, he's away. Dear me, what an impact and what a sturdy robot to have survived such a blow, Small System Shock. Redemption however has left the CPZ and is back in Sith;s face as Sith tries to take advantage of Innis' recovery time...uh oh! Small System Shock's spotted Innis and is hurtling towards it! Innis is now spinning! Innis is now at full speed! System Shock is driving at full speed! And the collision must be intense!

CRASH!!!

The wedge takes a massive blow, but is only slightly dented and Innis is spun away like a dog chasing its tail! Liam is back in to take advantage, and scoops his robot under Tracy's, sending it...INTO THE WALL! Another devastating ram! There's no stopping the System Shock today, gentlemen! He's rammed them all! Redemption is stopping Sith's assault though, and promptly delivers Sith to Cassandra in her temporary CPZ. The Greek flipper only catches the edge of Sith with her flipper, but it's enough to send Sith flying, and spinning! Spinning into a 1080 to be precise!! Oh what gymnastics! But Sith doesn't have a chance to enjoy its state of being left alone; Redemption's back under it again and taking it towards System Shock who's pinned Innis against the wall! With a bit of a THUNK, Redemption delivers Sith onto System Shock and actually manages to get underneath System Shock, Sith falling off the other side! Innis finally manages to get away and Tracy smiles as the disc is getting back up to dangerous speeds! Sith gets around System Shock, but misses both it and Redemption as they take a trip into an empty CPZ, System Shock itself now slammed and pinned against the arena corner! Uh oh...the guest house robots are closing in...and so are Sith and Innis! But Tracy, her smile widening and taking a deep turn for the evil side, takes a turn into Sith's side, instead!

CRASH!!

And manages to tear open Sith's side even more, sending Sith off of Cassandra and across the flame pit! And...is there life left in Sith? I don't think there is - OHH!!! Sith is on fire!!! You can see through that massive gash left in the side! The electronics and all that - they're aflame! Alex shakes his fist at Tracy, but there's naught he can do now; The Watcher has come over to deliver his eulogy!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

And so we go to 3! Redemption has to let go of Small System Shock as the house robots turn for Sith's carcass instead, and Liam exits the CPZ, targets Tracy, and smacks into her...but the slam is far too powerful this time and Innis flies overtop of System Shock! Redemption is after System Shock, and almost catches it, but it manages to get to Redemption's side and slam it heavily into the arena side wall again! Innis' disc is whirling madly again, and Tracy targets Liam's machine in return. System Shock notices and turns to face Innis, but Innis is way too close for System Shock to get any sort of momentum going!

CRASH!

It's only a series of deflecting blows, though, but they do make some lovely sparks and that'll count towards Tracy should this go to the judges' decision, don't forget. However Joey isn't keen on letting this slip that far; Redemption is back on System Shock's case and gets it from the side - oohey, Innis almost caught Redemption there with its disc! Watch out there! And Redemption imitates its wedged opponent slamming it into the arena wall with equal force! Tracy is after System Shock as it falls, Innis' disc smacking against System Shock's side!

CRASH!!

But the Hardox really is standing up well, and System Shock remains stationary...it's remaining stationary because I believe that's it! It's not moving and something appears to have happened inside! Redemption...pushes it onto the...pit, or it would have but it overshot the mark and now it's on the - INNIS HAS OPENED THE PIT, GET OFF THERE REDEMPTION! Ooh...just away! Joey's heart was pounding like a piston there, but it seems that System Shock is about to be a goner, and not Redemption! Liam hangs his head as Redemption goes around the pit, and pushes System Shock in to end the fight!

CEASE!

Sith gets smitten by the Force, while Small System Shock is shocked by his opponents' systemical teamwork!
Innis and Redemption advance to Round 2!
