Robot Wars: The Legends Return

[eene]

Welcome back.

BATTLE TWO

From Bournemouth, in Dorset, Razer!

The winners of two world championships, the crushing beak can cause unlimited damage. Its quick, and well designed, but it is unreliable.

From Haarlem, in the Netherlands, Tough as Nails!

A semi finalist in the Seventh Wars, the weapons are two large jaws. Its invertible, very strong, but the wheels are exposed.

Roboteers, stand by!

B1: Razer
B2: Tough as Nails
House Robots: Matilda and Dead Metal

3-2-1: Activate!

Two similarly matched robots, in that their weapons have the same effect. Razer tries to grab hold of one of the jaws but Tough as Nails pushes it aside. Razer heads towards the back, maybe to pierce the Co2 canister at the back of Tough as Nails. Tough as Nails turns around, but Razer grabs hold again and starts to bring the beak down onto the jaws! Tough as Nails drags Razer around, but Razer won't let go. It has now. Tough as Nails is made from Hardox, which is very strong. I don't think Razer will have much effect on it. Razer turns around to get at the wheels, but Tough as Nails grabs onto Razer and pushes it towards the angle grinder. Razer escapes and pushes Tough as Nails away. Tough as Nails gives chase. Razer presses the pit release button. Tough as Nails crashes into it from behind, but Razer shoves it towards the CPZ of Matilda! OH! Matilda hits the canister in the back of Tough as Nails with her flywheel! The impact sent Tough as Nails flying a fair bit, but it recovers. Razer grabs hold of one of the jaws, but Tough as Nails, with those large wheels, drags Razer along again. Razer pulls back though. Tough as Nails gets free and turns around, but Razer follows and tries to crush the canister! Tough as Nails backs into the crushing zone, bad driving there. Razer pushes it into the wall and starts to render the canister! Tough as Nails tries to get away, but Razer drags it back and pushes it towards Dead Metal! He grabs one of the wheels and starts to cut through the Hardox jaws with the circular saw. Sparks fly as Dead Metal pushes Tough as Nails out of the CPZ! Razer pushes Tough as Nails towards the flame pit! The last ten seconds count down. Tough as Nails grabs Razer from behind, but Razer pushes back. Tough as Nails digs in, holding its ground. A tug of war at the end.

Cease!

What a battle. The judges will make their decision based on Style, Control, Damage and Aggression.

Razer: S: 3 C: 2 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 8

Tough as Nails: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 7

Razer goes through to the grand final!

So, we have our two finalists. But first:

Playoff

101 VS Tough as Nails

Then:

Final

Razer VS Hannibal

[dinowarrior]

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

Again, how? 101 can run inverted...just LIKE Storm 2...and because, UNLIKE Storm 2, 101 doesn't have a wedge, it has no problem.

I don't see where on earth your logic is coming from.

[kodster]

Funny...I distinctly remember it having some front thingies in Extreme 1 and S5 that looked like WEDGES... :P

[dinowarrior]

Oh, those things?

Nah, those things never really did anything. You could see it didn't even need those.

Besides, they weren't its main weapon...that was the spike and pushing power.

[kodster]

Meh, it's redundant now. :P

101 VS Tough as Nails

I actually think 101 has a good chance here, unless TAN can get in from the sides and crush the tracks...that won't likely happen, so TAN to meet its end down the pit.

Razer vs. Hannibal

I don't really like Razer...but...it has a huge chance of winning, sadly. Hannibal's only chance is to keep flipping it from the side and get it out.

[leorcc]

The only chance I have if getting Razer off balance as its selfright is slow. I will try to get it oota or in the pit as soon as possible.

More tactics are welcome guys

I recently wrote a book, but thats probably no interest to you

[joey_picus]

Uh...try and avoid the jaw opening (very litle chance of that proving successful but it's worth a try ) and attempt to push TAN down the pit at the first opportunity. Don't shy away from edge of pit battles should that situation arise.

Is it about Robot Wars?

[eene]

Its a book about prison escapes, Chris. I chose 5 real escapes and wrote a few paragraphs about them in my own words. Not something you'd think I do, but Mum insisted I should finish it.

The next fight will be up later
