FRFFT: Series Three

[corsair_lightning]

Okay. I know those above are supposed to be my tactics, but well... Everyone hates me and is trying to get me(except Tira), so...

Run in and break the torsion spring on the rear skirt of Brutalis 2.1. Then, flip it out of the arena. Try to conserve flips, as once I have Brutalis out, only Nidhogg Cubed can try and get me OOTA. Then, get around Nidhogg and shove it into the CPZ. get underneath the sides, and try to flip it into Tira's spinning disc. That 3mm ti/vanadium alloy will be mangled badly. Afterwards, flip Nidhogg OOTA, and if I can't, try to hit the pit release button and shove him down. Since the shapes of the forks are a hybrid between Haardvark's and PA's, it should give me ample time to drive backwards and get away. Do not go after Tira unless it comes after me. When Nodhogg is inverted, try to shove him onto either the flames(it should burn his Petrol Engine), or the angle grinders(should cut the weak ti/van).

Now, If nobody else tries to attack me first, I'll be fine.

OK, so my tactics are to spin up and destroy anything that gets in my way and to also team up with Infusion.

Welcome to a new series of FRFFT!

We've made some changes for Series Three. After two series with the heavyweights sharing the arena with other weights, they'll be on their own today. Also, the house robots will be around as well, headed up by Refbot.

Lets start with round one!

ROUND ONE

From Vancouver, in Canada, Blue Hurricane!

A circular shaped robot with a spinning shell. Its a new robot, and can run upside down as well. Its hard to grab hold of, but someone could be lucky enough and when that happens, flippers can have their chance.

From Queensland, in Australia, Infusion!

An odd shape robot with a spinning ring, and a wedge, Infusion is also a newcomer to FRFFT. Very destructive, and invertible, but when upside down, it could be vulnerable to flippers.

From Scotland, SOID!

The name stands for 'Scotland Oh I'm Dizzy'. It's main weapon is a front spinning disc. Its shaped like a triangle, which should deflect some heavy blows, but the wheels are exposed and it is inexperienced.

From the Netherlands, Back to Rock III!

This robot has two weapons. A lifter to get under its opponents and a spinning disc to rip into them. Its made from aluminum and can reach 18mph, but the self-righting mechanism is slow

Roboteers, stand by!

In Booth One, we have Samuel with Blue Hurricane and Infusion with Aaron, and in Booth Two, Martijin at the controls of Back to Rock III and Jack with SOID.

The house robots are Matilda and Sgt Bash.

BREAK

Sorry about that short stop, guys. I just needed to give my head a rest, thats all.

Aaron, I find it hard to picture Infusion. Can you give me an idea of what it looks like?

I'm also thinking about adding another heat with 8 real robots, just to make things more interesting.

Hope you're ready for the fight!

If I'm correct, Elliot, Infusion looks like a lower version of Team Whyachi robot Warrior SKF with different colours.

An extremely horrible 15 second pen doodling while on the phone to the boss...

Thank you, Aaron

3-2-1: Activate!

Off we go for a brand new series! Blue Hurricane looks vicious with that spinning ring. So too Infusion who turns to face Back to Rock and pushes it aside. Back to Rock pushes into SOID, who turns and makes a GASH in the side of Back to Rock with that disc. Blue Hurricane moves in and OH! Back to Rock gets spun away a bit. Infusion is staying out of it, but now SOID charges it and hits the front wedge. Infusion spins around as Blue Hurricane hits Back to Rock again. Back to Rock looking mighty battered, but it is still moving. SOID presses the pit release button...OUCH! Infusion came in there with its spinning ring and made a SLICE down the side of SOID! Back to Rock tries to push Blue Hurricane into the CPZ, where Matilda waits. Blue Hurricane gets away though and spins up again, but straight into Infusion! OH! Blue Hurricane gets a hit too. Aaron turns away, but is Blue Hurricane OK? Yes it is. It isn't spinning, though. Back to Rock gets under it and begins to lift it up as SOID comes in with its disc and makes sparks on the aluminium of Back to Rock! Blue Hurricane pushed over, but it can run inverted. SOID escapes towards the centre of the arena, but meets Infusion again! Spun away, onto the flame pit! Its still going, though. Infusion pushes into the side of Back to Rock and clips it with the disc! Sparks fly, and Back to Rock looks very impaired out there now. I don't think its moving anymore. SOID is moving in a circle. I wonder if Infusion knocked out its drive? Sgt Bash comes out of his CPZ to look at Back to Rock. Refbot moves in to count it out.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Sgt Bash pushes Back to Rock towards Matilda's flywheel. OHH! The aluminium is ripped again. Blue Hurricane nudges SOID away, but gets hit with the disc. Theres a slight tear in Blue Hurricane's armour. Maybe thats why it stopped spinning. The last ten seconds count down. Infusion is staying out of it as the house robots push Back to Rock onto the floor flipper. And away it goes! Crashing in a heap next to Blue Hurricane.

Cease!

Back to Rock III needs to go back to the drawing board.
The other three were still mobile, so the judges will make their decision.

Blue Hurricane: S: 2 C: 2 D: 2 A: 2 Total: 8

Infusion: S: 2 C: 3 D: 3 A: 2 Total: 10

SOID: S: 1 C: 2 D: 2 A: 2 Total: 7

A controversial way to start the new series, but Infusion and Blue Hurricane go through to the next round. Well done to them!

See you later for the next fight guys. If things seem a bit out of shape, its either because I haven't written any vapourbot fights for a while or I don't have a good imagination. Get back to me

[corsair_lightning]

Excellent fight, Elliot.

[kodster]

Not too bad Elliot, but you still kind of overestimate the amount of damage bots can do. Back to Rock III wouldn't exactly get that trashed within 3 hits, even with 7mm titanium armour.

Keep improving.
