CrOoKeD:

flip lethal weapon before he spins up then run like hell... flip, push pit! perhaps o.o.t.a if possible!

pick-axe-of-doom:

urm... axe axe axe! if a.n.a.t.b can implode on impact :shock: then i will axe then push/drag him into the side wall/other robots! keep away from iron awe and axe/pit final cut or attack iron awe if i see the chance...

Typhoon: spin...kill...leave...haggis...take trophey...eat easter eggs! keep away from flippers until up to speed!

259: spin kill and keep away from flippers

It won't explode on impact; I'm just re-iterating in my own words what Joey said about its instability, which could kill it off. Of course Joey may be wrong, though...

Hooray, it's back!

HEAT A
ROUND 1
CrOokEd VS JACK-IN-THE-BOX VS Lethal Weapon VS N3

As I'll be teaming up with Mr Joey, I'm going to focus my attention on CrOokEd first, hoping either to pit it or flip it out the ring. My wedges and skirts should make it very hard for CrOokEd to get underneath me (And rather easy for me to get underneath it) and my good pushing power should allow me to push it wherever I want. Once it's been disposed of, help N3 take care of Lethal Weapon in the same way.

Looking forward to this one, Liam!

Tactics for all my robots are to kill and push anyone who comes near.

[dinowarrior]

Hey! That's not fair! You said I had until midnight. It isn't anywhere NEAR midnight! It's CLEARLY 8:07pm (7:07pm) by the official forum time. Nowhere NEAR bloody midnight.

How dare you!

Because it's not midnight, I still have every right to enter! And here are my entries.

ORKA RV

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Basic Invertible box-wedge shape. 1m long, 0.8m wide, 0.3m at maximum height.
Speed: Some 15mph
TC: 0
GC: 8mm, 0mm at front.
Wheels; 6 inner
Armour; 7mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by S28-400 Magmotors, at 24v.
Colour; Black with white patches
Weapons; A pneumatic CO2 powered flipping arm that spans most of the robots length. It can throw some 400 kilos and has about 50 flips. Although the arm itself is quite narrow (about half the robot width), the flipper plate expands the full width.
Srimech: It's a both-er. It can run inverted AND self-right using the arm.
Inspiration; I've always liked Orcas. Adding the K made it sound more dangerous.
Strengths; Weapon
Weaknessess: Hard to turn


DIE-REVERTA-TOPS

Weight; 100 kilos
Body Shape: A variation on the Wedge shape...it's sort of shaped like Spawn Again, but is more closely sized to Firestorm.
Speed; 15mph
TC; 0
GC; 0mm at front, 10mm at sides and back.
Wheels; 4 inner
Armour; 8mm titanium
Power; 3x 12v batteries, powered by S28-400 Magmotors, at 24v.
Colour; Green, with Killer Carrot style wrinkles, mouth and eyes. One of the eyes has a plaster over it, the other is a black eye. A few bandages are painted on this time.
Weapons: A large pneumatic rear-hindged CO2 flipper, capable of flipping a tonne or so. Mounted on the flipper, and powered by its own Bosch motor, is a roller. This is designed to thrust the robot out of the way of oppodents when flipped over, so it can self-right safely. This feature, I believe, is unique.
Srimech; It uses the flipper to self-right.
Inspiration; I've always liked Dinosaurs.
Strengths; Completely revamped, now much easier to control, turn and should flip harder.
Weaknessess: Still very much experimental.

AXE-O-LOTL

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Comengetorix shaped (box-wedge?), a metre long, 70cm wide and 30cm high.
Speed: 20mph
TC: 0
GC: 0mm at the front, 6mm elsewhere.
Wheels: 4 inner
Armour: 3.25mm Hardox all around.
Power: LEM130's at 36 volts, ala Storm 2. 3x12v batteries.
Colour: Has interchangable panels. One set is pure black, the other pure white with pink tinges.
Weapons: A very nasty pneumatic titanium axe, with the power of Dominator 2. The head is diamond tipped, and the whole weapon is VERY persistant. It can fire about 40 times in one fight.
Srimech: The axe rights the robot. The robots body is designed so it can't be side stranded.
Inspiration: My favourite amphibian, the axolotl.
Strengths: Powerful weaponary
Weaknessess: Obviously a limited CO2 supply.

And my realie will be S3

And next time, don't be so ruddy impatient.

...Chris...he CLEARLY made that post with reference to midnight yesterday...

[dinowarrior]

He also CLEARLY said that the place would be reserved until Friday. Friday hasn't even FINISHED yet.

(And I thought the date said Apr 2nd anyway. My mistake on that part. But that still doesn't excuse the fact he closed the role one day too early)

[joey_picus]

(deleted, Joey fail)

[dinowarrior]

Either way around it, he still could have been a little more specific.

[joey_picus]

He seemed specific enough to me, he said right at the top of the page 'Chris will be replaced by Anthony Politzi at midnight if he doesn't get his entries in', but since that evidently isn't specific enough...can I ask if there's a good reason why you couldn't enter back when you reserved? If there was a good reason, and you'd said why, I'd think Liam would have been more accomodating of you entering a day or so late.

In any case, he's off on holiday tomorrow and probably wanted the tactics to be ready for him to write fights when he got back, since he said he may not have internet access on holiday.
