The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

No tactics? No problem!

Killotine: EVO vs. Axe-O-Lotl

Killotine: EVO got through with Flick of the Wrist after Tira-san took out Fragmentors weapon in a double kill. He then won a judges decision over the tough nut of a bot, Bloody Tears 2.

Axe-O-Lotl hammered In-terror-fied into a pancake flat enough to serve him with eggs in the nearest universitys cafeteria breakfast menu, and then plunged into the pit thrusting Flick of the Wrist in first.

Roboteers, stand by...

In the arena for the house robots are Obelix Bulguous and his deadly hammer, and Double Big Mac, the big twisty king with his spinning hammers. Makes you kinda feel bad your hammer doesnt spin, eh Obelix?

ACTIVATE!!!

Killotine is away to the races and collides with an incoming Axe-O-Lotl! WHAM! Both axes swing almost simultaneously, but its Axe-O-Lotls who connects! The armour of Killotine however withstands the blow and Killotine responds by getting under Axe-O-Lotls front wedge and hammering him into the wall, lifting him up into the air and allowing Killy to hack the underbelly! Unfortunately since Axe-O-Lotl is so close to Killys axe it doesnt do much damage, but it DOES prevent Axe-O-Lotl from flying overtop of Killotine and he lands right back on top of him! Killotine fires his axe again but the axe-shaft is halted by Axe-O-Lotls own wedge and the former swings down his axe and another blow is done to Killotines armour! This time there is a dent made but nothing more. Killotine knows that this is no place to be and reverses away, but Axe-O-Lotl is only given two more seconds of breathing room before the red Scottish terror is back for more, and the axe of Killotine slams down into Chris bots armour! The 5mm aluminum is not strong enough to withstand it and a huge hole is made where the axe hits! Axe-O-Lotls own axe descends and smacks Killotine again but its only a minimal dent. Killotine retracts and fires again, and another hole is made! Axe-O-Lotl cant stay in this position forever but he cant get away without leaving himself in a disadvantageous situation and Killotine sensing this drives forward, wedging underneath Axe-O-Lotl and careening off the wall at a sharp angle, and carries Axe-O-Lotl right into DBMs CPZ!
CRASH!!!
OOOOHHHHH! The carnage! Axe-O-Lotls entire back panel has been blown right off by the mighty hammer blow, although Axe-O-Lotl hasnt hardly at all from this hit, and Killotine noticing pushes Axe-O-Lotl further into the CPZ, in turn shoving DBM against the wall. Obelix hurries forward to aid his comrade but far too late, as Killotine backs away to let Obelix take over. Obelix would have, if Axe-O-Lotl wasnt escaping like he is now! His movement, however, seems to be quite sluggish, thanks to that hit by DBM. Good strategy on Killotines part. Killotine himself is now ramming Axe-O-Lotl back into the CPZ, and into the waiting wedge of Obelix! Axe-O-Lotl however fires the axe, and finally makes a hole in Killotines 15mm polycarbonate top armour! Not only that, but it seems to be stuck! Killotine appears to be okay and Obelix now brings down HIS hammer! BAM! The top armour is bashed inwards caving in at the back, but thankfully it releases Axe-O-Lotls axe from Killotines own armour and he comes crashing down...to meet another axe blow from Killotine! WHACK! Another sizeable hole in the obviously bruised top 5mm aluminum of Axe-O-Lotl, and Obelix now shoves both of them away, and Axe-O-Lotl spins away to escape, however his pace has slowed quite greatly! Killotine takes advantage of this and quickly getting to Axe-O-Lotls side gets under it and rams him into the angle grinder! WHAM! Axe-O-Lotl bounces away, and...no, hes still moving, but even the angle grinder has been a little damage, as there is a small gash in Axe-O-Lotls left side! Killotine spins around and easily rushes the shaken-up Axe-O-Lotl, but proceeds to axe the crap out of him! Another hole in the armour! And another! And another! Axe-O-Lotl however refuses to die, and is able to turn and face Killotine, and thwacks his axe down on Killotine again, achieving another dent. Killotine isnt too happy having even a little damage done to him and quickly rams Axe-O-Lotl into an empty CPZ! Obelix again comes over to deal with them. He tackled Killotine but edges off the side and instead smacks Axe-O-Lotl and brings down teh (not misspelled) hammer...onto the arena wall! Killotine backs away and allows Obelix to get in again, and Obelix again positions himself right...BAM!!! The armour is busted up almost completely, and no life can be seen now in Axe-O-Lotl, but time is winding down and so are Killotines chances for another KO!

10...9...8...7...

The Watcher comes over for a look as Killotine revs up...

6...5...4...

Killotine guns forward and HAMMERS Axe-O-Lotl, but not over the fence, sadly! He crashes down on top of Killotine.

3...2...1...

The Watcher begins counting Axe-O-Lotl out, but...a little too late for that, ref!

CEASE!

The Watcher is denied a countout, so it goes to the judges.

Killotine: EVO - Axe-O-Lotl

Style = 4/5 - 1/5
Control = 5/5 - 0/5
Damage = 4/5 - 1/5
Aggression = 5/5 - 0/5
Strategy = 5/5 - 0/5

Total = 23/25 - 2/25

Axe-O-Lotl is sent to the prehistoric era by an almost unanimous judges decision.
Killotine: EVO (9) advances to the Series Semi-Finals!!!

Heat F

Wedga Revo 2.0 (11) vs. Cacodemon vs. Star 69
Tengu VII vs. IDSFA vs. Storm II

Tactics? Predictions? An autograph signed by Salamander IIIs disc?

[paulc]

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

Woo-Hoo! Well done Steve - that is unauimous!

Heat F - THE HEAT OF DOOM

Wedga Revo 2.0 (11) vs. Cacodemon vs. Star 69 - Im actually going for Wedga to go out - if it goes for Star 69 hell be knocked away, Cacodemon is too low and might shove it into the pit. If not, then it will be Cacodemon to go out.

Tengu VII vs. IDSFA vs. Storm II - Storm II does have the weakest armour on the sides, but at the front, it is also the thinnest. However, as I have noticed before, the 50kj spinner of Typhoon didnt knock it off, it was the 90kj dic of Matilda.
IDSFA is going to go out, as it wont get under Storm 2 easily, it will have its thinner front flipper plate broken but Tengu. To put it simply, Frank is going.

For the heat, I predict in this order of proberbility, Tengu VII, Storm 2 and Wedga Revo/Star 69

[siphai]

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

Wedga Revo 2.0 (11) vs. Cacodemon vs. Star 69 - Star 69 is a little too dangerous for me to go after, and my best bet at getting through to the next round anyone is attacking Wedga Revo so I guess my tactics are to use my low front wedge and good velocity to get underneath him and pit him

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

You dont think I can start a heat this quickly?! Watch me!

Wedga Revo 2.0 (11) vs. Cacodemon vs. Star 69

Wedga Revo 2.0 (11) comes back from his tournament victory in the Fowler Fic War 3.1 to do some damage! Hes got a powerful flipping arm with a scoop on the end, and with 540kgs of force should launch bots into hyperspace. G5 Titanium armour wraps around this slightly Steg 2-shaped design, and LEM130 drive gives a great push against other vapourbots.
C&BT1: Defeated Slaying Mantis F in a judges decision, and amazingly took out Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3 before getting himself ejected from the warzone in the Heat C Final by 3rd seed Orka MK4.

Cacodemon is a demonic brute with four Dustin motors (giving it a top speed of 20mph) and titanium armour (8mm for the wedges/skirts, 6mm for the main body). It doesnt really have any weapons, but on its front wedge are several claws to hold opponents on the wedge and not allow to simply fly over it. Hes not so tough if flipped, though. :wink:
C&BT1: Did not enter.

Star 69 looks bright and ready. It also has LEM drive, and 4mm G5 titanium armour. It is also invertible with 6WD! Add to this that youve got an outer spinning ring with three rows of blades to slice n dice and this star-shaped bot will probably coming calling at your door...with a can of whoop-ass, that is.
C&BT1: Did not enter.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Cacodemon, Wedga Revo 2.0
Booth 2: Star 69

Asterix Heroicus zooms into the arena, almost catching the wall, and settles into his spot whilst Taki-san takes the CPZ opposite.

3...
2...
1...
ACTIVATE!

Heat F kicks off with Wedga converging upon Cacodemon. Star 69 has begun to get his weapon up to speed, and drives right off towards Wedga! Wedga tackles Cacodemons front but the ground clearance eludes him and he drives right up onto the wedge! The claws halt further approach however, and Wedga prepares to drive off of him in reverse, when a spinning weapon belonging to Star 69 smacks into his side!
CRASH!!!
Oh man! That had to hurt! Both bots are flung away by that ominous blow, Wedga sustaining a great gouge in the 5mm titanium side, and already it seems to have done something to the mechanics! He seems to be only driving around in a circle! Cacodemon drives forward, not at full speed however due to the low ground clearance and tackles Wedga into the wall. Wedga tries to push back but that loss of power on the left side has left him crippled and Cacodemon can ram to his hearts delight! Star 69 however has other plans. Spinning down his weapon he hits the pit release button, opening our beloved pit. Now hes back up to speed and charges at Wedga. Cacodemon getting the message turns away and backs towards the arena saws as Star 69 collides with Wedgas front end!
CRASH!!!
Ooh, the scoop took phenomenal damage, but is hanging by a few bits and pieces! But Star 69 did not come off too good there either! Wedga had activated the flipper at that hit, and Star 69 got sent flying! Now however hes back in action but Cacodemon snags the spotlight by getting Wedgas exposed left side and pushing him into Taki-sans CPZ! Taki turns to expose the flywheel...not as big of a crash so its not really noteworthy, but it does give Wedga a small rip in the right side now. Star 69 ruthlessly takes charge now and again rips into the 11th seed!
CRASH!!!
Wedga is dislodged from Taki and Cacodemon and is smacked against the CPZ wall! Theres no movement left in the seed...can he possibly be out, the champion of FFW3.1, in the first round of the C&BT2?! It seems the The Watcher thinks so, and seperating Taki and Cacodemon shunts into the immobilized Wedga and begins the countdown -
CRASH!!!
OOH! Star 69 came in without warning and tackled the ref, and with that blow stuck him against the wall at an odd angle! Taki seems to be enjoying this and with a playful nudge to the rear, The Watcher keels over and falls on his face! Oh, RED CARD! Send him off! Er...send them off, actually, but its Cacodemon who backs into The Watcher and slowly but surely, reaches the pit and BOOM! down goes the exceptionally peeved referee! Wedga may be out, but Andy is chuckling at the sight of The Watcher getting humiliated. Galliant contender!

CEASE!

Wedga Revo 2.0 (11) needs a revitalization, and fast.
Star 69 and Cacodemon advance to Round 2!

Next battle: Tengu VII vs. IDSFA vs. Storm II

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

To hell with it.

Tengu VII vs. IDSFA vs. Storm II

Tengu VII is quite possibly the most successful vapourbot to date. Needs little to no introduction: you all know all about the spinning ring and blades, anti-spinning ring, skirting, and self-righting arm. You might also notice that it has poor traction. Just dont let her get up to speed.
C&BT1: Was in Heat G, and it smashed Whirligig 4.0 apart before having her wheels taken off by Tempest Evil-er-oution in the second round.

IDSFA aint no son of mine. He looks like Raging Knightmare but thats about it. The flipper he is at front is front-hinged and can flip opponents his own weight, and he has a rear disc dishing out 10kJ per hit. It has LEM drive giving it a top speed of 20mph and good pushing power but its armour isnt the best.
C&BT1: Made short work of The Great Cornholio, but then current champion Salamander III made short work of IDSFA in Heat H.

Storm II is arguably the most powerful robot in our current day. Hes got 6WD LEM drive allowing excellent power and speed, 6mm-12mm titanium armour over a steel chassis, and a lifting arm that can toss over its own weight. Its also invertible, therefore exposing its wheels to crushers and axes; however there are none in this fight...
C&BT1: Outclassed Mega Masher in Heat Hs first round but then Killotine: EVO took it to the pit right after.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Storm II, Tengu VII
Booth 2: IDSFA

Youre going have to deal with Double Whamlet and Obelix Bulguous as well if you enter the CPZs.

3...
2...
1...
ACTIVATE!

So the plan for IDSFA...is to attack Storm II, and push it into Tengu VII. That might not work however because Storm is coming right at him! Tengu spins herself up and heads towards both other bots, but Storm is able to get under IDSFAs flipper and smashes it straight into the wall! WHAM! IDSFA gets some air and is bounced away off the wall but he doesnt get a chance to breathe because Storm is back at him, and slips under those side skirts, and up comes the arm, raising IDSFA by the wedge as he is rammed against the wall again! WHAM! He bounces again and faces away from the wall, and slides towards Storms side, and penetrates it! Storm tries to back off but FLIP! Now we have an inverted Storm! Tengu cant catch these fast machines and decides to wait in the center of the arena. Storm gets out of the way as IDSFA flies at him, now on the aggressive. The arm pops up from under Storm and he halts, trying to self-right, only to have IDSFA crash into him a second later and pile him into the wall! WHAM! He goes for the OOTA but no! Storm is merely stuck against it! Tengu seeing this opportunity decides to trek over there but IDSFA gets the hell out of the way and Storm falls on its back again. Hes not thinking of righting himself yet and jets away before Tengu can get closer, leaving the fully-spinning FBS in frustration. IDSFA is chasing after the inverted Storm who attempts to fly over the arena saws hoping they will right him...but they dont pop up. Storm goes to lift himself up off the floor again and IDSFA rushes at him...only to himself get caught by the arena saws and goes flying to the left of the now reinverted Storm II! Storm turns and barrels into IDSFAs side, but this time is unable to penetrate the skirt. Tengu is approaching again, and IDSFA tries to reverse away but Storm pushing into the side of IDSFA rolls him around in an arc...straight into Tengu! ...and there is no big crash, however, because IDSFAs disc hit the anti-spinning ring first, causing no damage to Tengu whatsoever! Tengu herself bores forward and actually nicks IDSFAs rear corner, causing some sparks and actually severely denting it! IDSFA has actually not moved from that collision thanks to Storm, but that hit causes Storm to finally get under IDSFA and WHAM! Right into the wall once more! IDSFA slides off of Storm and jets away to open the pit, only to find Tengu blocking him! He reverses away narrowly avoiding a charge from Storm, and a little maneouvering finds him at Storms side! The wedge penetrates the skirt! Tengu comes forth again and IDSFA shoves Storm onto his wedge and drives, right into Tengu!
CRASH!!!
It was what Frank was hoping for; Storm is mashed by the blow and sent spinning across the arena, removed from his skirt! And now Tengu has slowed down! IDSFA seizes his chance and barrels into Tengu but is unable to get under Tengus skirting, and more importantly unable to stop Tengu from achieving her deadly speeds! Tengu however isnt the pushiest bot by a long shot and IDSFA knowing this decides to take Tengu to a CPZ - Whamlets, in fact! The house bot rushes out before they reach the CPZ!
CRASH!!!
Tengu is seperated from IDSFA, having grievously gashed Whamlets front end but Whamlet does not appreciate that at all! WHAM! Tengu is rammed and the axe arms close around her before she can spin up! WHACK! Down come the axes onto Tengus srimech! And finally, another WHAM! signifys that Tengu has been rammed into the CPZ beside Whamlets previously occupied one! Storm finds its way into that CPZ and tackles Tengu but is also unable to get arm under! The blades of Tengu try to spin up but Whamlets scoop stops their attempt and now OBelix shoots out, tackling Storm in the rear BUT ENDS UP FLYING OVER THEM!!! Obelix is now on top of Storm and the Storm boys dont know what to do! Frank does - IDSFA gets to Storms side and gets under the now skirtless side, and tries to throw it over. No go. Tengu meanwhile is getting axed to death by Whamlets twin axes, and suddenly he lets Tengu go, but she cant go anywhere while pinning against the wall - ah, he backs up. The Watcher comes in and tackles Whamlet in the side to allow Tengu to go free but IDSFA has different feelings. He drops Storm and wheeling around rams Tengu with the wedge. Again the blades are stopped and Tengu is mashed into the wall! Storm cant seem to dislodge Obelix off of him and goes after IDSFA with the mighty house bot on top, finding Storms speed much reduced thanks to the weight! IDSFA pushes Tengu hard against the wall but that wedge just cant defeat Tengus skirt!

10...9...8...7...

Storm moves forward and Obelix is finally able to get off of him, returning to his CPZ.

6...5...4...

IDSFA is tackled from behind and that disc does hardly anything to Storm as he is pressed into Tengu, sliding underneath!

3...2...1...

IDSFA tries to get Tengu OOTA but Tengu is only pressed into the wall like Storm was before!

CEASE!

Brilliant fight! Each stood up in their own way and are pretty functional! I think IDSFA took control at the end, but lets let the judges take this one.

Tengu VII - IDSFA - Storm II

Style = 2/5 - 1/5 - 2/5
Control = 1/5 - 2/5 - 2/5
Damage = 4/5 - 1/5 - 0/5
Aggression = 1/5 - 2/5 - 2/5
Strategy = 1/5 - 3/5 - 1/5

Total = 9/25 - 9/25 - 7/25

Storm II vanishes in a puff of smoke.
Tengu VII and IDSFA advance to Round 2!

Round 2

:P

Though thered be at least one set of tactics by now. Ill try and get the first battle up tonight if I can.

[pcbore]

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

He doesnt look like he can wedge very well when inverted, so my tactics are as follows:

Get under him and flip him, then just leave him inverted and go to work with the flywheel/pushing him around. See what I can do with him from there.

Should I make it that far, I believe Ill be seeing Alex in the heat final.

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

Dammit...Internet Explorer sucks. I had most of the fight written and Explorer gets an error and decides to close on me.

Thankfully I have just enough wits to recollect my thoughts, otherwise Id be spamming swear words and the forum which would result in me being banned pretty quick.

Im going to type these fights in Word first, then copy them to the FRA Forum window now. Ive done this before but I thought it was more convenient to write the fights in these boxes. Guess not now.

Sorry about this, will probably get the next fight up tomorrow. :sad:

[kodster]

The Crash & Burn Tournament 2

I give ye...two fights!

Cacodemon vs. IDSFA

Cacodemon, thanks to an early wedging, helped Star 69 obliterate the 11th seed.

IDSFA tied Tengu VII for a three-way judges€™ decision, leaving Storm II in the dust.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: IDSFA
Booth 2: Cacodemon

You wouldnt want to take a bite out of our Double Big Mac. Especially when hes partnered with Tira-san.

3...
2...
1...
ACTIVATE!

IDSFA out at Cacodemon almost before the activate, quite eager to finish him off early but Cacodemon is no sloucher either! Alexs bot heads in IDSFAs direction and both bastians meet with a CLANG in the center of the arena! Neither seems able to get underneath the other and so IDSFA reverses to try again. Cacodemon is a bit too eager and hurries into IDSFAs wedge again, and again they are forced into a stalemate! Suddenly IDSFA shows its power by slowly pushing the low wedge backwards, and Cacodemon spins away to try and attack IDSFAs skirts, and succeeds! IDSFA however rolls backwards and away before Cacodemon can fully drive his titanium wedge under and retaliates with a shove to Cacodemons own side. No luck, and Cacodemon takes a right turn, straight into IDSFAs other side but that defeats him, and now IDSFAs turning at Cacodemons wedge and again shoves him backwards, and right into the arena wall, holding him there. The Watcher rolls in and shunts the two causing Franks nippy wedge to release Cacodemon and now the demon comes back at IDSFA! IDSFA again comes forward, but Cacodemon makes a slight turn to the side, and again gets under the skirting! IDSFA tries to roll away again but it seems futile, and now Cacodemon is heading towards DBMs CPZ!
CRASH!!!
DBM rips into IDSFAs right side, severely scarring the 4mm titanium and sending IDSFA right into the arena side wall nearby! Tira races out of her CPZ but Cacodemon has blocked her route to the imperiled IDSFA. Thats not bloody nice of you, Cacodemon! Denying a house robot her fun? And what do you think Tira will do about this?
CRASH!
Tira smashes Cacodemons rear end and Cacodemon is flung away from the wall, yet no damage is evident, so Cacodemon is quite lucky! DBM has stopped spinning and is pushing IDSFA against the wall...he seems to be stuck to the wall as one of the hammers is wedged in between IDSFA and the wall...Tira shunts IDSFA further into DBM, and they are REALLY stuck now. Cacodemon isnt going to be left out of this and so tackles Tira while the spinning ring is immobile. Now, Alex, youre supposed to be killing your opponent, not the house robots, and theyre especially hard to kill - ah, thats better, IDSFA is now away from DBM, finally. Cacodemon...has wedged Tira against the wall...and is not moving! Perhaps he is taking a look up her skirt - oh I say, how naughty of you, Cacodemon! IDSFA and The Watcher both come at the same time, IDSFA getting at Cacodemons rear end and The Watcher slamming into the side. IDSFA is now underneath Cacodemon! Can he flip him over with Tira on top? If he does hell have an enormous advantage! Up goes the flipper - ohhhh...it just wasnt enough...Cacodemon is shunted away but Tira remains on top of the wedge! IDSFA attacks again to attack Cacodemon: again the flipper is under Cacodemon! This is majorly impressive stuff from IDSDA - AND HES OVER! Cacodemon has been flipped! And so has Tira! And here comes DBM, the hammers now working and spinning over towards IDSFA! Get out of there, Frank, while you still can! Cacodemon is now moving across the floor again and decided to tackle the pit release button! The pit descends as a result, and IDSFA is away from DBM and now after Cacodemon with a huge advantage! But hes not the only one! Tira will not allow Cacodemon to wedge underneath her and get away with it, and - OH! IDSFA slides into Tiras path! No big crash, as he headed into her spinning direction, and over she goes onto the wedge! Cacodemon stops and backs up, reverse-slamming IDSFA in the side but the skirt is there and it halts the charge from Alexs inverted wedge! BZZT! Oh, Cacodemon has been sent flying by the arena saws, and hes right side up again! Tira is flipped now by IDSFA, and DBM is coming at him again to avenge her - you cant have your cake and eat it too, boys! Apparently all order is gone, and IDSFA is after Cacodemon again, avoiding the hammers of DBM and smacks into Cacodemons front! Another stalemate, but its Cacodemon who pushes IDSFA backwards this time...RIGHT INTO DBMS HAMMERS!
CRASH!!!
OHHHH!!! The previously damaged side is bent and buckled further! ...and I think that IDSFAs drivetrain has been damaged by that blow!

10...9...8...7...

The Watcher is coming over to count out IDSFA but far too late, and Cacodemon shunts IDSFA in the side again, but is still defeated by that skirt!

6...5...4...

IDSFA cuts an arc across the arena, narrowly missing The Watcher, whos started to count him out!

3...2...1...

Cacodemon slams into IDSFA once more at the rear and gets under, pushing him towards the arena wall and into it.

CEASE!

Great fun! Lets see how this fight goes with the judges...

Cacodemon - IDSFA

Style = 2/5 - 3/5
Control = 3/5 - 2/5
Damage = 4/5 - 1/5
Aggression = 3/5 - 2/5
Strategy = 2/5 - 3/5

Total = 14/25 - 11/25

IDSFA says TTFN to the C&BT2.
Cacodemon advances to the Heat F Final!

Alexs tactics: spin into it til it breaks

Tengu VII vs. Star 69

Tengu VII sent out Storm II after tying for first place in a judges decision with IDSFA.

Star 69 ripped apart Wedga Revo 2.0 and then went after Refbot, as a rather startled Cacodemon advanced with him.

Roboteers, stand by...

Booth 1: Tengu VII
Booth 2: Star 69

In the arena for the house bots, Tira-san makes a return visit and pairing her is the other female housie, Taki-san.

1...
ACTIVATE!!

Both machines are spinning, and Star 69 is on the move, crashing into Tengu already! Tengus blades are stopped but the blow from Star 69 does not do any damage whatsoever to the anti-spinning ring of Tengu, thats good control, but this DOES allow Star 69 to push Tengu around! Tengu cant move away and is now being shoved around, and right into an angle grinder! Ooh...the anti-spinning ring takes the hit harshly being held in place by Star 69, but Tengu seems to be okay. The Watcher comes in as Star 69 tries to hold onto Tengu for as long as it can, but the referee wont let Star 69 hold on for long! A crash is heard as The Watcher shunts Star 69 but Martyns spinner is holding onto Tengu and The Watcher starts to push Star 69 away, and Tengu is free now, and spinning at dangerous speeds! Star 69 is away from The Watcher, very nearly getting shoved into a CPZ! And now hes spinning up but Tengu is right at him immediately!
CRASH!!!
Both weapons meet, and its Star 69 who is the worse off here! One of the five points of the seemingly fading star is slashed brutally, and sent flying! Tengu has also been flung but at a lesser distance, and tips back onto her wheels, and is back and spinning up...greeted by a charge from Star 69, who has come back for more!
CRASH!!!
Again the two spinners are thrown, and Tengu taking the better of the collisions, and getting back up to speed with her blades. Star 69 doesnt seem to be TOO too damaged, only two of the points on the star have been gashed and hes again recovered from that blow, hurtling towards the whirling dervish that is Tengu and back at full speed!
CRASH!!!
What a mighty collision! Sparks fly, robots must have died, but they didnt! Star 69 is flung away but Tengu is only sent back a few inches! And Tengu is now spinning again and coming at a weakening Star 69 who is not spinning, another point on the star damaged!
CRASH!
Tengu smashes into Star 69s chassis, actually getting at the inner circle this time, and its been torn! Same armour as IDSFA in the previous fight and its been tattered already! Star 69 is against the wall now and Tengu slams into him without spinning up the blades, possibly having a closer look. Star 69s wheels are moving so thats all right, but not for long! Tengu releases Star 69 from the wall, and Star 69 turns, nicking the angle grinder on the way out, and spinning up again! Is it just me...or is Tengu spinning more slowly than usua - ah, mistake, mistake, the blades are at full speed. Star 69 is the one whos spinning slowly, though! The shell is rotating, but...not fast as it should be, and Tengu takes advantage!
CRASH!!!
Star 69 is again flung, straight across the arena, and collides with the arena wall, one of the previously damaged points now removed of its blades! Tengu is hardly harmed at all, really looking bloody brilliant this match! Can Star 69 recover from this brutal onslaught? Tengu comes in, tackling Star 69 and pushing it against the wall! Star 69 cant seem to push her back, is it having control problems? Tengu releases the fellow spinner, and Star 69 slowly gets off the wall, not spinning at all. This is bad news as Tengu is back up to full speed and crashing into Star 69 once more!
CRASH!!!
What a mighty hit! Star 69 is flung, almost along the wall, right into Taki-sans CPZ, armour miserable-looking! Taki lifts up Star 69 as Tengu again gets her bearings and her deadly spin-up back, and...and...FLIP! Star 69 is inverted. Of course that really doesnt matter, Star 69 can run both ways up...or does it? Star 69...is it immobilized? I think so! They are not moving! Tengu strolls in!
CRASH!!!
More armour removed! Star 69 is losing it all here, armour, weapons, drive, and hope of reaching the heat final! Tira is coming for you, Star 69! And Tengu gets the message and backs into the pit release button...yeah, yall know what that does now.
CRASH!!!
Tira meanwhile has attacked the immobile Star 69 and more sparks, this time green and purple thanks to a gimmick installed in our house bot. Star 69 still isnt moving, and The Watcher thinks its time to let them off the hook!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

CEASE!

Star 69s ringtone is dead, as is Star 69 itself.
Tengu VII advances to the Heat F Final!
