Major Tom's tactics - hit things until the inevitable break down
Brutus Maximus - Go to the flame pit, set myself on fire, then crash into opponents and hope they get set on fire as well. Pyrotechnics, baby!
Does anyone have any more tactics, perhaps for Diotior and Mace II? Just wondering, because I didn't want to start the fight without a proper idea of what should happen
Perhaps this will clarify things
Heat B
Major Tom VS Razer
Splinter VS Stegosaurus
Heat C
259 VS Scutters Revenge
TRACIE VS Tough as Nails
Heat D
Brutus Maximus VS Hannibal
Robochicken VS Rosie the Riveter II
The special events will be kept as a surprise
Hopefully this will make tactics and predictions more easier to think of
The next battle will be up later tonight. Any objections, thumbs ups, thoughts
Sorry about the delay
BATTLE TWO
From Dublin, in Ireland, Diotior!
Winners of three Sportsmanship Awards, this robot is famous for catching fire thanks to its red and black fur. Its weapon is a lifting scoop powered by springs, but it is slow and as said before, does burn easily!
From Hastings, in East Sussex, Mace II!
This team entered the first clusterbot in Robot Wars, Gemini. They've returned with Mace II, who made it to the semifinals of Series Two and Three. The main weapon is a front flipper, but at the back is a flail. It has no scrimech, though.
Roboteers, stand by!
B1: Diotior
B2: Mace II
House Robots: Matilda and Sir Killalot
3-2-1: Activate!
Two good robots here, but Mace II is the more successful in the past. Now it gets under Diotior and flips it up, but not over! Diotior comes back down and turns around. At the controls of Mace II, Shane Howard and Martijn Benschop. Diotior gets the scoop under Mace II this time and ALMOST flips it over, but not quite. Mace II recovers and backs in Diotior. The 3000rpm flail isn't doing much to the actual armour, but is stripping Diotior of its fur! Diotior gets under the side again. Is the scoop broken? Its pushing Mace II towards Matlida's CPZ! Matilda turns around and Mace II...OH! Mace II got hit by Matilda's flywheel and the front is slightly torn. Mace II gets away, but Diotior rams into it again and pushes it towards the wall. Mace II breaks free and goes to the centre of the arena. Diotior gives chase, but Mace II presses the pit release button! Now it focuses on Diotior, getting under it and lifting it up again, but Diotior is holding its ground here. Down it crashes, and turns to get the scoop under the side of Mace II again. The scoop flips Mace II up and ONTO its side! I thought Diotiors scoop was immobolised, but they were waiting for the right time to use it! I don't think Mace II will self-right from there. Its over for them. Sir Killalot waits in the background as Refbot comes in.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
A good start by Mace II, but Peter Redmond, Liam Eliot and Diotior go through to the heat final! Matilda comes in with her flywheel again on Mace II and SMASHES it onto its top! A piece of metal went flying into the air. That flywheel can cause so much damage. Sir Killalot picks it up by its flail and carries it...where will Killalot dump it? In the pit? Out of the arena! Oh, there. The floor flipper. Diotior waits in the distance as Mace II flies through the air and crashes back down to earth. Killalot pushes it towards the pit, and down Mace II goes!
Cease!
Mace II in the pit!
Diotior go through to the heat final.
So next up, the heat final:
101 VS Diotior
But first, a special event between six of the biggest flippers in the business, the Flipper Frenzy!
Hope you liked the fight, sorry if you didn't
Its getting mighty lonely here
Well, I'm here.
Perhaps another fight would attract more pilgrims from across the forum
Tactics:
Get under, push. Don't bother flipping unless there's a good opportunity for damage so that I don't leave the area under the scoop open to a shove from 101. I think Diotoir is a better pusher anyway?
Good luck 101 and whoever entered you
Diotoir had Bosches iirc, 101 had the same motors in series 3 but used Iskra 800s in series 4...with the tracks might have been a better pusher, but who knows? :P
Tactics are to push Diotoir in the pit, avoiding the flipper. Good luck to you as well Liam
My prediction of the fight: 101 to push Diotoir into the pit after Diotoir catches fire.
