I never got the damage catogory, as any amount of damage swings it, despite how dominant or controlled or aggressive. Basically, damage helps much more people win battles
I cant find any stats for YACATR. Unless someone can help, my tactics are to attack whoevers nearest. Pushing and clamping would probably be my best bet, to keep those nasty spinners pointed somewhere else.

Im shocked to the very core!
Martyns quote pretty much sums it up.What a fight.
Whirligig 5.0 (5) v Senkaganzen v Battle Raptor
Senkaganzen wont be Live-Alive after this battle. :wink:
Salamander 3 (21) v Dead Horse Beater v YACATR
Hmm, very close, this. Afraid Ill have to pass, since each one looks like they have an equal chance of winning.
HEAT C
ROUND 1
Battle Raptor VS Senkaganzen VS WHIRLIGIG 4.0 (5)
Um, spin up and hit stuff. Focus on Battle Raptors sides n rear and see if I can rip Senkangazens wedge off.
Battle Raptor 4 will try to avoid Whirligig 4.0 and focus on Senkaganzen, staying to his sides, shoving and axing his top. If Whirligig attacks, will axe him as well rather than risking the flipper.
The seed and the dino will qualify whilst YACATR is going out.
Wow! What an incredible fight, well done! Im actually quite surprised at that result, I thought I would easily lose. Achilles is one of the best around at the moment and beating it is great.
Salamander 3 (21) v Dead Horse Beater v YACATR
Judging by the predictions my self-proclaimed most underated vapourbot ever is going out. I think otherwise. My aim here is to spin up and cause as much destruction as possible. Those wheels on Salamander III look very tasty, but despite that I think it would be better if the two spinners teamed up to take out DHB.
Welcome to the first battle of Heat 3 of the Fowler Fic War Series 5 and today we see the 5th seed take on 2 robots from some our more experience entrants.
First in and seeded 5, Whirligig 4.0
Steven€™s machine is one of the most experience robots out there, and yet this doesn€™t make it any less dangerous. Armoured in a phenomenal 19mm of titanium and driven by 2 Magmotors on 24V, this is the last of any opponents€™ worries. The concern on this shuffler will come from the spinning shell which weighs 33kg and spins at 200rpm, producing a whopping 183 kilojoules per hit. If that wasn€™t enough the beast is invertible, meaning anyone wanting to flip it€¦ may as well not bother. Could its strength also prove to be its biggest weakness however?
FFW History
In FFW3 - Spent under 3 minutes in the ring throughout the whole of the first heat, destroying Thor, M3 and MORD2 on his way to booking himself a place in the semi-finals. Round 4 proved his toughest obstacle yet as he just about managed to get past Voltronic, dislodging the failsafe, but not able to destroy him as he had his past opponents. Leprosy Infection proved a less stern test however and he breezed into the grand final. He knocked out the reigning champion Achilles in round 6, but in the final he finally met his match in Wedga Revo, who managed to boss him around the arena despite taking damage, and eventually managed to stack him against the wall and throw him out of the arena.
In FFW4 - (seeded 3) Destroyed Hydra in 2 hits in round 1 before a judges decision took him through his toughest fight ever in round 2, narrowly beating Psyclonised based on aggression. Die-Ceratops was beaten in the heat final, with him battering the side panels and jamming the wheels. In a shock result however he was knocked out in round 4 by IDSFA, who managed to pit him after somehow stopping the shell spinning.
FFW Points -

Next in is Sengazanken. Armoured in 8mm titanium and with 4 LEM€™s for drive this is one robot not to be sniffed at. As well as that the destruction factor from the 2 front horizontal spinning discs means this machine could dole out the damage as well as defend itself from it. The speed however is excessive and may lead to a lack of control so who will win the battle between brains and brawn.

Finally into the arena is Battle Raptor 4. Armed with both a pneumatic flipper and an electric axe, this dino is hoping to leave the others soreIt€™s got good drive as well and is invertible so is not the easiest robot to dispose of. With skirts all round it isn€™t likely to get flipped either. However it relies on omni-directional weaponry and the tyres are vulnerable to overhead weapons.

And we€™re off with this first battle from Heat 3. Sengazanken immediately moves away from the other 2 to try and spin up the discs, whilst Whirligig does the same to bring its shell up to speed. Battle Raptor 2 goes for the lesser of 2 evils however, and chases after Tony€™s machine trying to stop the discs. He goes straight into the front and is sent spinning away with a lightly scarred flipper. Sengazanken comes after him again with the discs this time hitting the side skirt, hitting into one of the holes drilled into the Hardox and making a slight cut into it.
Whirligig 5.0 is spun up by this time and comes across the arena, slamming into both robots at once. There€™s a loud crash and all 3 robots are sent spinning away. Tony€™s machine is left with a massive gash in his side panel, whilst Battle Raptor 4 has lost an entire side skirt where Whirligig has ripped it away from the hinges. Whirligig meanwhile has flown straight into the arena side wall and made a large dent on the Perspex that guards it. Battle Raptor 4 decides to use this to its advantage and flies in before he can spin up again, sliding under the full body spinner and firing the flipper. He manages to get him up against the wall, but the blades on the side just make him fall straight back down to earth from where he moves away and begins to spin up again.
Battle Raptor 4 isn€™t about to give up though and chases after his prey, but by the time he reaches him Steve€™s machine is spun up once more, and the shell slams into the flipper. A massive gash goes straight through the blade on the Atomic style flipper. Battle Raptor 4 is beginning to limp as the shell shows its power even on the toughest of armourment. Sengazanken decides he€™s been quiet for long enough and comes in with the disc on Battle Raptor 4 sending him spinning off in a shower of sparks, but with very little other visible damage. Whirligig 4.0 is looking dominant and comes in at the side of Battle Raptor 4 which no longer has a skirt. He slams into it once and it€™s dented massively, he slams into it again and the whole panel comes straight off exposing the innards. The armour may be strong but what€™s holding it on obviously isn€™t as it goes flying across the arena.
Sengazanken feels like he€™s got away with it but Steve has other plans for it, slamming into the front discs, and taking one straight out of the front, leaving the chains to it hanging out of the front. Again he slams into it and leaves the front panel hanging off as he takes one half of what€™s joining it on out of the picture. Whirligig is looking phenomenally destructive and proves it again as he slams into the side of Sengazanken leaving another enormous gash going almost the whole length of the right side panel.
Battle Raptor 4 is beginning to limp around now and Whirligig notices this wanting to end the fight. He slams into the exposed side panel and out comes a battery flying across the arena. Another shot and one of the drive motors is out. He moves away to see if the dinosaur is immobilised and he surely is, smoke pouring out. Sengazanken lives to fight another day, but receives one last blow before cease is called, this time to the other disc, leaving it not out of place but dead as the shock snaps the chain.
CEASE
Battle Raptor is out while Sengazanken is unlikely to have any weapons for round 2. Whirligig 4.0 justifies his seeding and goes through to round 2.
Oh dear, I predicted wrong. Doesnt matter, though, if the battle itself is superb, which it is.
Great fight, even if Battle Raptor is going to need some serious repair work.
