Push Hannibal around, don't drive on the flipper if I can help it :P and try to get it down the pit at the first opportunity.

Rather simple predictions:


Hannibal VS 101

Hannibal is essentially an updated version of Chaos 2, while 101 is a near-invincible tank with a spike. I can see 101 going to the play-off here.


Tough as Nails VS Razer

If Razer can get to the back of TAN, it'll be able to crush into both the tires and the vulnerable top/bottom.

get round the back of t.a.n and crush crush crush try and go for the k.o, if i cant get that well, you know the drill, crush, push, pit. crush, push, push into cpz's

a bit of a grudge here because t.a.n knocked out 259 :twisted: but if i go down to him here that is nothing to be ashamed of good luck guys!

Hannibal should win the first one easily. One flip and 101's as useless as Storm II when it's on its back. *oooh!*

Next fight will be tougher. Tough As Nails can push even while being clamped from the front, but if Razer can get around the back, it's over for TAN. I'm gonna have to say that Razer will get at the back of TAN eventually and send them down the pit.

Good fights ELLIOT.

I must ask how? Unlike Storm 2, 101 doesn't have a wedge.

[kodster]

Did I say they both had wedges? I just said 101 was useless on its back, just like Storm II. :P

And that spike does nothing. Well, it'd do nothing against Hannibal anyway. :P

[leorcc]

Hannibal, flip 101 oota or in the pit when given half a chance.

Tough as Nails vs Razer, Tan is much better to manoeuvre than Razer, And Razer is not going to penetrate that hardox armour. Digging into the tyres is also useless for Razer as there is no air to deflate. The wheel might have a wobble after a squeeze but that is about it. I give that one to TAN.

Welcome to Robot Wars: The Legends Return: The Grand Final.

BATTLE ONE

From Kettering, in Northamptonshire, 101!

Powered by industrial motors and made from aluminium. It's armed with a sensor powered spike. Its tracks are made from a washing machine. They are exposed, though.

From Essex, Hannibal!

A powerful Co2 powered flipper with two wheel drive. The team have been in Robot Wars before, but with another robot. It's quick, but the gas supply is limited.

Roboteers, stand by!

B1: 101
B2: Hannibal
House Robots: Sir Killalot and Shunt

3-2-1: Activate!

Hannibal charges straight for 101, who gets out of the way. It turns around, but Hannibal gets under the sides and FLIPS it over! 101 can run inverted, though, and it pushes into the side. Hannibal breaks free and flips again! Turning around, 101, to push at the back, but Hannibal pushes back over the flame pit. 101 recovers and hits the side of Hannibal. Hannibal goes towards the pit release button. 101 follows as the pit lowers. Hannibal backs off, but 101 pushes into its side and towards the CPZ! Sir Killalot is waiting and he grabs the back of Hannibal, lifting it up. 101 gets out of the way as Killalot drops Hannibal onto its top! Hannibal self-rights and turns to face 101, getting under and pushing it towards the pit, but 101 escapes to the side. Hannibal counters this and flips! 101 up, but not over. It comes back down and pushes into the side again, taking Hannibal towards the flame pit. Hannibal backs away and 101 gives chase. A good battle being fought here. 101 pushed into again by Hannibal and into Shunt! Down comes the diamond edged axe into the top of 101. Hannibal turns only to get hit itself. 101 escapes and pushes Hannibal into the wall! Hannibal flips itself free, just as Shunt gives it another hit with the axe. OH! 101 gets flipped again against the angle grinder! Will Hannibal get it out? NO! 101 comes back down and pushes into the side of Hannibal, but Hannibal slips under and lifts it up again. 101 stuck on the side of Hannibal, but comes back down to push Hannibal into the angle grinder this time! Hannibal gets free and backs away, pushing 101 aside, but 101 is detirmined to get Hannibal into the pit, or into the angle grinder! Hannibal hits 101 and pushes, but 101 shoves back! The spike isn't doing much, if anything. Hannibal turns to get the flipper under again and tosses 101 into the centre of the arena. The last ten seconds count down. 101 crashes into Hannibal and starts to push it again towards a CPZ! Hannibal escapes and pushes 101 one last time.

Cease!

A hard fought battle by both robots, but only one can go through to the grand final. The judges will decide

101: S: 3 C: 2 D: 0 A: 2 Total: 7

Hannibal: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 8

Its controversial, but Hannibal goes through to the grand final!

Next up:

Razer VS Tough as Nails

Sorry about the shortness of the fight. Did not have much imagination at the time. Complaints, thanks, predictions and tactics will be welcome

[leorcc]

I'm happy with it.
