Roboteers, stand by!!!

And whoa! AJ is the first out, Wedga Eenea padded back up, coming out head first into Axe To Fall, the main cause of all its abuse. AJ seems intent on taking abuse to the abuser: and with this in mind, the two make contact€¦and Axe To Fall comes out on top once again, as from the rebound of machines, Martijn makes his way to the side, and now the axe slams down again: SMASH! Another hole, but the axe won€™t stsy stuck - back again, and again, and again! Four new holes in the 7mm Ti/V alloy, and now the axe is held fast again as Wedga is powered into the spike strip. Poor old AJ€™s machine taking some more damage! Nidhogg is also out to cause harm now, this time to Metallic Doom; him and Lewis Matthews come speeding in, sandwiching the shufflebot in, and Joey bringing the lifter and crusher into play, as he grapples onto the right hand side of Metallic Doom - not grabbing the pad though - and slams him into the spikes. Metallic Doom may be having a bit of a hard time, but not compared to Wedga Eenea, who€™s being rammed across the arena by the Dutch hammer over the flipping spikes now. FLIP! Barrel roll over the spikes onto the side wall, and the hammers coming in again, AND MORE HOLES AND DENTS! It seems that Axe To Fall indeffinately seems intent on taking down Wedga, but can€™t quite seem to finish him off. Wedga is firing the flipper to try and remove himself from the wall€¦but the persistant Axe To Fall keeps him there, the axe further cutting into the armour. Meanwhile, Nidhogg has let go of Metallic Doom, now letting Vertigo have a shot, but Lian is ready, and hits Vertigo in the side, and the claws close around him; the compact shape of Vertigo fitting well in the claws! Slight creaking of the metal armourment on Vertigo fraining from the strain, but no real damage yet. But now, excellent controlled defensive by Lewis: activating the flipper to loosen a hold on Metallic Doom, before charging in on the attack once more, and ramming him into the spike strip and€¦FLIP! Metallic Doom flies up into the air, landing within the ring but still suffering from the huge attack! Nidhogg hasn€™t done too much yet, being sensible, but now comes on the attack on Axe To Fall, as the axe strikes onto the rollbars, and a massive fold is made! Great attack by Martijn, but now AJ is free, and wants revenge, up behind the axe machine, underneath, and a great flip! Martijn self-rights, but AJ hits in again! Into the spike strip, but the axe slams down again, into the flipper, and AJ now can€™t dispose of the destructive machine. Nidhogg has observed the flipping going on from Vertigo upon Metallic Doom, and charges in to join, but can€™t find an opening to use for his attack. Meanwhile, Wedga Eenea and Axe To Fall are having a little dance, mainly consisting ofAxe To Fall stranded on the wedge, but the axe buried so deep into the flipper that Wedga is finding it hard to shake him off. Vertigo comes in - sick of the constant attacking on the hard to kill Metallic Doom - and just for giggles, throws up the 200kg of Axe To Fall and Wedga Ennea€¦and THEY DO ONE AND A HALF-BARREL ROLLS! Upside-down, the fight is on for both machines to get back up! Meanwhile, Nidhogg, who has done very, very little in this round, is lifting up Metallic Doom, and topples him otherside up, but the invertible shufflebot scutters back, and Joey, desperate for a kill, chases, driving Metallic Doom towards the wall€¦but a quick move there from Lian, puts him side-on to Nidhogg, and Joey is driven into the spike strip - but nevermind that boring ram, the more interesting struggle is whether Axe To Fall and Wedga can self-right! And what€™s being viewed here is Axe To Fall repeatedly firing it€™s weapon, as to Wedga€¦and YES! The axe is dislodged, and both bots self-rgiht finally, albeit extremely weakly, the weapon power presumably extremely low. Straight back up, Wedga goes back to Axe To Fall, but Vertigo is there and rams into Wedga, and throws him up and over€¦is he gone from the arena€¦NO; just smacks into the wall, before rebounding off. The flipper is there to self-right, but barely. Now, back to Nidhogg and Metallic Doom: Lian is powerful, and shunts Nidhogg over the spikes€¦AND UP HE GOES! Nidhogg - flipped from the front, falls backwards, and Metallic Doom powers him forwards€¦and NIDHOGG IS FACING THE WALL! The broken rollbar top isn€™t going to help, and even if it wasn€™t, he€™d still be self-righting into the wall! Meanwhile, Axe To Fall and Wedga arestill battling on, and now Vertigo is on the case. And AJ once more is pinned in, and the hammer comes down, limply, but still scratching the front plate. However, AJ isn€™t going to be in much more trouble in this fight, as Nidhogg hasn€™t gotten free, and the count begins:
10€¦9€¦8€¦7€¦6 €¦5€¦4€¦3€¦2â ‚¬Â¦1€¦cease!!!
Metallic Doom returns to the arena centre, and spins in delight€¦but in comes Lewis€¦rams in under€¦AND THAT IS OUT OF ORDER! Vertigo flicks Metallic Doom up and out the arena! Axe To Fall now backs off the now barely moving Wedga Eenea. After this fight, two things remain uncertain: how much more abuse can Wedga Eenea take, and how much is Lewis going to regret that final attack?

Result:
Nidhogg Cubed may have been cubed€¦but he is now the cube-root of zero!
VERTIGO, WEDGA EENEA, AXE TO FALL AND METALLIC DOOM GO THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!!!

ROUND THREE
Vertigo vs. Wedga Ennea vs. Axe To Fall vs. Metallic Doom

Send in tactics, predictions, comments and the answer to life the universe, and everything (yes, I know it's 42, but I also want a 'deep, meaningful' answer as well)

[pmc1993]

Wicked. Thanx for that Lewis by the way peeps, there's one place available for the Challenge Belt, but I still need three more for the All-Stars. Once I get the remaining places filled, I will publish the line-up.
And Joey, I need the stats for Falling Down before the other Annihilator can kick off. If they're finished, tell me and I'll take a look

[joey_picus]

They are finished, they should be on ZED. I am aware it has something of a weight deficit ;P

[pmc1993]

Oh the lightweight. I dunno, for some reason I didn't think it would be that one lol. Thanx,

[pmc1993]

OK guys, here's another round, delivered a bit later than other by other posts, but yh, just roll with it Hope you like it. Read, enjoy and post feedback if you wish

ROUND THREE
Vertigo vs. Wedga Ennea vs. Axe To Fall vs. Metallic Doom

VERTIGO VS. WEDGA EENEA VS. AXE TO FALL VS. METALLIC DOOM

Booth #1: Lewis M, AJ
Booth #2: Martijn B, Lian W

Roboteers, stand by!!!

And once again they€™re off! Two robots down, both have been caught out being in quiet and confident positions. Therefore, you can see why each of four remaining are all so intent on attacking. And of course the longrunning fued of this competition: Martijn charges Axe To Fall out into the arena centre going after his target - Wedga Eenea - but AJ for some reason is darting away from the axebot - he€™s actually going for Metallic Doom! Vertigo is also going for the shufflebot; maybe the two flippers have worked out the unskirted crusher is the most open to attack, and Lewis is first there, and he smacks straight into claws, getting under, but an attack from AJ knocks the clawed robot off the wedge of the Liverpudlian machine. Now with this collision, Martijn can come in and do what he wants: bring a world of a pain down on Wedga as the axe comes down€¦SMASH! The axe has gone through the armour once more, and now Wedga is at Martijn€™s mercy, as he€™s rammed hard into the spike strip. Meanwhile, Vertigo finally has got underneath Metallic Doom€¦and a push towards the wall is the plan, but Lewis can€™t; the wedge is underneath but isn€™t taking the traction off the ground, and is therefore being grabbed in the jaws. Lewis quinces as he takes a few small nicks in the side armour. The flipper is activated, but it€™s not opening: we can presume that Lian€™s grip on it is keeping the flipper from opening. Meanwhile, speaking of flipper not opening, Wedga Eenea is now free from Axe To Fall, and in possibly the first moment of Axe To Fall in genuine danger, Wedga gets onto the side of Axe To Fall with his backend, and is now pushing him across the arena with fantastic power€¦BANG! The pit is descending as the button gets pressed. Wedga however has to back off, due to the 30 second pinning. Metallic Doom still refuses to get the grip off of Vertigo, and still remains intent on ramming him about the arena, first into the wall by the spinning disc, but not yet into the disc€¦but that is NOW what Lian is doing€¦BANG! A slam in on the rear armour, but that€™s OK, as the Hardox takes the abuse well. Meanwhile, Axe To Fall is back on the attack on Wedga, but AJ drives into the arena centre now, and looks about to try and get a line-in on Axe To Fall, and try and take him to the pit. But before this can happen, Vertigo is has now got Metallic Doom off the ground, and flicks him away, doing a double somersault in the air! Lian watches his machine spin like a coin in the air, landing finally tail side up, and Vertigo is now no longer there - he zips across the ring, under the rear of Wedga, and throws him straight over: two fantastically controlled, aggressive, stylish attacks from Mr Matthews. Wedga is trying to self-right, but Lian is in - the robot self-rights into his claws, as they close and drive Wedga in the direction of the pit€¦BUT NOT QUITE HITTING IT IN! Wedga is still up there, but in danger of going out, as he€™s pinned against the wall! But look at this: FLIP! What a move by Wedga, self-righting over the top of Metallic Doom, but an even greater counter-attack by Lian: he goes into reverse, slamming Metallic Doom into another wall! But what else is going on! Axe To Fall, presumably flicked over by Vertigo from a previous attack, and now the battles split has been redefined here, as Axe To Fall makes a bee-line back towards Vertigo; Martijn rams the front with enough force to get under it! And the axe comes hacking down as Vertigo is slammed against the wall€¦and NOW the vulnerability of an invertible robot is exploited: the axe goes into the front-right wheel-house of Vertigo! Has it cause any damage to the drivetrain of the rightly named €˜Liverpudlian launcher€™ at all? Speaking of launching, up goes Metallic Doom again, this time from the power of Wedga, getting another good attack here in: it seems like Wedga Eenea is becoming a force in this Annihilator finally. Axe To Fall has backed off now, because as we can now see, Vertigo is only moving in a circle to the left, and the 50% drive rule is now coming into effect, as we sadly say goodbye to the rightfully named €˜Liverpudlian Launcher€™.
10€¦9€¦8€¦7€¦6 €¦5€¦4€¦3€¦2â ‚¬Â¦1€¦cease!!!
But it€™s still not over yet! Wedga Eenea is pushing Metallic Doom towards the wall€¦but great control from Lian spins him off the flipper, and now the pushingon the side of Wedga towards the arena centre of the arena. The claws take a hold, as Axe To Fall also slams in from the other side, creating a sandwich as the axe slams down once more€¦AND ONCE AGAIN GAS IS LEAKING OUT! AJ€™s machine is still surviving, with more damage.

Result:
Vertigo gets terrified of his great height€¦and thus he falls!
WEDGA EENEA, AXE TO FALL AND METALLIC DOOM GO THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!!!
