Good fights, but make them a bit longer please.

Whirligig 4.0 (1) vs. Seung Mina III

Um......damn you.

...box rush, get under, flip repeatedly until death or OOTA. I have limited hopes.

Ramthrax II (17) vs. Panicking Still?

Panicking to get under Ramthrax and shove it down the pit after a struggle.

ROUND TWO:

WHIRLIGIG 4.0 vs. SEUNG MINA III

Booth #1: Kody K
Booth #2: Steven M

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

Whirligig starts to scuttle away from the incoming wedge of Seung Mina, but Kody now speeds AT the champions spinning ring! An unwise move, as Whirligig has now got the shell up to speed and the teeth impact on the flipper - no damage. But we see damage now - the flipper hinges are now jammed upright! Seung Mina has lost its weapon! Steven now presses onto the right-rear corner and targets the edges of the panels, and the teeth lash onto a panel and the ring then rips it almost off, as it hangs on by a tether! Kody is starting to panic, so now uses the rear of Seung Mina to reverse onto Whirligig, stopping the spinner and pushing it into the pit release button! Kody turns around, but Steven drives away from Seung Mina and spins the shell up once more, and now goes for the battered side€¦CRASH!! The Hardox panel is seen bent and buckled on the arena floor! Whirligig now goes in at the exposed side, but Kody quickly turns away from the ring with a stylish turn and runs away to the arena sidewall. Whirligig chases him down and hits the back-end into the arena wall. With Seung Mina distracted, Whirligig gets two big hits on the rear, AND THE PANEL IS BENT INWARDS! Seung Mina seems to be struggling, but now turns out and, suddenly, the flipper plate comes down! Kody can be heard to yell €˜YES!€™ from the Booth as he pushes Whirligig into the wall and attempts an OOTA, but the Champion slides away! Another ram and Whirligig is once again stopped and now gets a massive flip€¦
10€¦9€¦
Seung Mina flips again, scoring plenty of points in the final few seconds€¦
€¦8€¦7€¦
Steven drives away again, and bashes the flipper with the ring...
€¦6€¦5€¦
Kody€™s robot now is flung away across the steel floor€¦
€¦4€¦3€¦
Whirligig 4.0 now gets another blow on the rear, denting it more€¦
€¦2€¦1€¦CEASE!!!

Woo-hoo! An excellent fight, and the first JD in ages! But who gets the points?

Dominance: Both robots had equal moments of domination, but the more powerful attacks by Whirligig earns it the points

Whirligig 4.0 (1): 9 x 6 = 54
Seung Mina III: 5 x 6 = 30

Damage: Whirligig caused ALL the damage in this fight.

Whirligig 4.0 (1) = 10 x 5 = 50
Seung Mina III = 0 x 5 = 0

Aggression: Seung Mina came back strongly at the end, but the more frequent, violent attacks by Team Braveheart earn them the points.

Whirligig 4.0 (1): 10 x 4 = 40
Seung Mina III: 5 x 4 = 20

Strategy: Not much strategy here, but Whirligig succeeded with its strategy.

Whirligig 4.0 (1): 6 x 3 = 18
Seung Mina III: 5 x 3 = 15

Control: Whirligig was more controlled in its attacks, and Kody did leave his robot open to an attack at the end.

Whirligig 4.0 (1): 9 x 2 = 18
Seung Mina III: 7 x 2 = 14

Style: Seung Mina showed a lot of style at the end, winning it this category.

Whirligig 4.0 (1): 6 x 1 = 6
Seung Mina III: 10 x 1 = 10

Totals:

Whirligig 4.0 (1): 186
Seung Mina III: 89

Undoubtedly, the JD goes to WHIRLIGIG 4.0!

Result:
Seung Mina III fails to do much in this life!
WHIRLIGIG 4.0 (1) GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!!

RAMTHRAX 2 vs. PANICKING

Booth #1: Alex H
Booth #2: Martyn F

Roboteers, stand by!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

The robots have equal traction, but the lower speed of Panicking allows Martyn€™s speedy robot to get away first! Alex controls his robot onto the front left corner of Panicking and drives forward, using the greater power and the entire arena vibrates with the force of the slam! This doesn€™t stop Panicking as he drives forwards with the forks lowered, and charges at the front, gets the spikes under, but Ramthrax reverses away from danger, and now pushes Panicking over the spikes, and they fire Panicking right on top of Ramthrax€™s scoop! Ramthrax now slams it into the wall, and sparks fly away from Panicking, but Panicking is still balancing on the scoop! Alex now reverses across the arena, into the pit release button! The siren sounds, and now Ramthrax edges forwards, and now Panicking slides down into the pit!

Result:
Panicking bottles out!
RAMTHRAX 2 (17) GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!!

HEAT FINAL:

Bah, once again proving my point that champs always make it through to at least the heat final. (well actually it was the series semi-finals but you get the point ) Good mauling Paul, anyway.

Whirligig 4.0 (1) vs. Ramthrax 2 (17)

Bye Ramthrax.

Ramthrax is designed to kill spinners, but can he stop Whirligig? Some good hits anywhere other than the front might finish of the rambot

[alex_holt]

Eye Of The Robot - Series 3 (My first real tornument!&#4

I thus intend to keep my frotn forward at all times.... just ram it constantly, regardless of how spun up it is,just hit it as hard and fast as I can manage and slam it around, dont give it any room to breath.

[pcbore]

Eye Of The Robot - Series 3 (My first real tornument!&#4

I expect Whirly to go through, but I think Ramthrax should go through.

[steven_mcg]

Eye Of The Robot - Series 3 (My first real tornument!&#4

Umm...same tactics as always?

[paulc]

Eye Of The Robot - Series 3 (My first real tornument!&#4

Right - with all the tactics sent in, I can now complete Heat 1, befor emoving onto the rest of the competition! So...here goes...

HEAT FINAL:

WHIRLIGIG 4.0 vs. RAMTHRAX 2

Straight away, the dangerous Whirligig starts to spin up the ring. But Alex is quickly covering ground and SMASHES INTO THE RING! The ring throws Ramthrax away from Whirligig after that blow, and Steven chases it down to get a blow on the 3mm Titanium body! An entire sheet of metal is ripped away, as the audience whoops the champion! This seems to encourage Alex to smash into the fully spun-up ring, and stop it! He now lifts Whirligig off the ground and can now be seen driving at full force! BANG! Whirligig is smashed into the wall with so much force that the entire arena vibrates under the force! Ramthrax backs off and Whirligig scuttles away, ring spinning and makes for another blow to the sides, but the speed of Ramthrax overcomes the control of Steven€™s robot, and now rams into it again, now into the pit release button! Alex now slowly turns his robot around, trying to keep Whirligig on the scoop! He€™s succeeded! And now Alex has the Champion on a direct line with the pit! Ramthrax lifts Whirligig up off the ground, and now charges it onto the edge of the pit, before shifting slightly to one side, AND NOW THE CHAMPION SLIDES DOWN THE PIT!! Ramthrax now reverses into the centre of the arena and spins around in the centre of the ring in a victory spin, whilst Whirligig 4.0 lies in a smoking pit in the bottom of the pit!

Result:
Whirligig 4.0 (1) goes spinning into a fit and spins away from the competition!
RAMTHRAX 2 (17) GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!

Eye Of The Robot - Series 3 (My first real tornument!&#4

Well...that was unexpected. I am proven wrong! Excellent fight there Paul.

Achilles vs. Super Gore Evo vs. Liar 2

I am actually not quite afraid of either of the two. Their flippers are quite powerful but my skirt strips should protect my sides and rear, and the strips are close together, meaning that theyll have a hard time getting under all the strips that are in their width. And since Super Gore Evo is invertible anyway, even if it does get flipped Ill still be good to go.

For this battle, Ill use the clamping claws. Attack Achilles, that boxy shape seems nice to get my claws around. Grab it, squeeze it with my excellent 3.5 tonnes of pressure, and push it towards the pit, my traction should be better than his because of the tracks, and I might even lift him off the ground while clamping. Dunk it in the pit ASAP. If Liar 2 sticks his face in, or is being a real pest, try to clamp onto a wheel and shove down the pit as well. This match isnt too bad for me at all.

Hypertension Mk.3 (19) vs. Eternia vs. BBAP 5

Not sure. When Martyn gets the stats up for BBAP 5, then well see.

Eye Of The Robot - Series 3 (My first real tornument!&#4

Achilles vs. Super Gore Evo vs. Liar 2

Get underneath stuff and flip it in the air Id say. Super Gores spiked skirts should be easier to get under than regular skirts as there are corners everywhere. Achilles I can get underneath from all the corners as well as the back. Achilles might make the better target of the too as Super Gore is invertible. My invertibility should keep me save from Achilles weapon and my shape keeps me relatively save from Super Gores weapon. Also, with these 2 involved, only get near the pit when I can give someone the final nudge.

Eye Of The Robot - Series 3 (My first real tornument!&#4

Im going to go for a different tactic than I have for a while, go for the hydraulics (which include the gripping claw) pick one of them up and dump it somewhere unpleasant is my order of the day.

[paulc]

Eye Of The Robot - Series 3 (My first real tornument!&#4

Thanks for the recent good comments Ive been given for my battles. All I need to get Heat 2 started is the stats for BBAP 5 and tactics from everyone in the second fight (Matty, Leo and Martyn)

Im just commenting to bring this competition back into the light of attention, and to press for stats and tactics from Matt, Leo and Martyn (I also need the stats for BBAP 5).
