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

Whats ironic is people are complaining about me for being a bigot whereas 2 people are even bigger bigots for hating English people and Irish people. ( Aaron and Kody)

[majinb]

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

lol, when did Aaron and Kody express their hatred towards English and Irish people?

[tacoman]

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

Im racist against every race, does that count for anything?

Hang on! Timmy you have GOT TO STOP BEHAVING LIKE SUCH A JERK!

You invade the helping thread and your own thread with your childish rubbish - you are NOT invading my thread as well! If you had no seeded robots then I would chuck you out of the competition, but since you have seeds, Im keeping you in because otherwise I would have to redo the draw. But listen to us - STOP ACTING LIKE AN IDOIT! I know youre the youngest on the thread, but +2>TRY to +2>BEHAVE like a +2>NICE, calm+2> PERSON!

Well Paul, since Tim is suspended now you wont have to yell really loud at him anymore.

Anyway, lets get this party started. Awaiting some good fights.

Right - I had a power-cut this morning and my dog went missing yesterday :sad: (but we found her ) so Ive had to leave you lot waiting for me to post up the battles but I can now post them in .

So, if everyone€™s ready€¦

+2>LET THE EYE OF THE ROBOT-SERIES 3 BEGIN!!!!

Heat 1

ROUND ONE
Whirligig 4.0 (1) vs. Panicking vs. M2
Ramthrax 2 (17) vs. Seung Mina III vs. Disc-O-Inferno

+1>From Scotland, seeded #1, WHIRLIGIG 4.0!!
-1>Entered by Steven McGregor
Coming back from a successful win over the 95 other robots last year, Whirligig 4.0 hopes to add another collection of robot parts to his trophy cabinet! This dull yellow coloured robot isn€™t really that dull, sporting two high traction shuffling plates to give speeds of 15mph, giving completely unrivalled acceleration and control. But those aren€™t the least of your worries when its 2cm Titanium ring weighing 33kg with 9 sharpened teeth spins at its maximum velocity of 2000rpm, allowing the shell to send 183kj of energy into you, enough to tear your robot inside-out! If that€™s not the least of your worries, then the 2cm of Titanium is - as it€™s impervious to almost any attack. Despite all this though, the invertible body allows for over-head attacks to be fatal€¦

In E.O.T.R 1: Had a lethal Round One battle with Die-Ceratops ReInvertus and MORD2. MORD2 was targeted out by both robots, but Whirligig caused too much pain to the wheels on Die-Ceratops, meaning Chris€™ uber flipper went out. In the second Round of the heat, drawn against Wedga Revo, Whirligig hit it repeatedly with attacks, and finally shock-killed it. MORD2 put up an equally weak challenge and had his batteries torn out and littered over the arena. In the final 12 though, we were given an unbelievable shock, when Terrorhurtz snagged Whirligig onto the wall and hammered the pads to hell, taking him out.
In E.O.T.R 2: (SEEDED In another terrifying Round One battle against SUNCUST and Die-Ceratops ReInvertus (again), SUNCUST was badly beaten by the seed, who ripped panels off SUNCUST, before the American was sent OOTA by Die-Ceratops. Whirligig then went through a very tough battle with a very powerful spinner-killer called €˜Anti-Spin€™. Whirligig beat Anti-Spin at its own game though and its aggressive tactics won it the 50-25 JD. In the Heat Final against Die-Ceratops ReInvertus, Steven almost went OOTA multiple times, but soon he managed to mangle the tyres like last time to win through the semi-finals. In Round Four, it took on fellow ring-spinner, Roo 2, and engaged in a fast battle in which multiple hits were exchanged, but Roo died first, meaning Whirligig went through. 4th seed Black Panther Queen was its opponent in the last round before the final, and they had a one-sided contest that meant Whirligig won the 49-26 JD to make it through to the finals! In the Eliminators, outsider and 22nd seed Achilles made for a joyous plaything for Steven, who destroyed the gas bottle, before Achilles was over-turned by the hazards, leaving Whirligig in the Grand Final, where it performed in a brilliant final clash against 2nd seed and real robot Storm 2, where they fought to the death, but the power of Whirligig was too much and Steven took home the title!

+1>From Kelvedon, Panicking!!
-1>Entered by Martyn Forsyth
The first robot from Martyn€™s garage is one that has built up an extreme reputation as the finest Panic Attack clone in the vapourobteering world, as well as the only. The robot is basically Panic Attack shaped, with Panic Attack€™s weaponry, a pair of lifting forks. But that€™s the only relation to the real robot, as this has 6 wheel drive powered by 4 x S28-400€™s at 24V, giving 24hp! The robot is strong in terms of design and in terms on armour, it€™s only got 5mm of Hardox, which almost nothing can take advantage of. The only problem is the design is quite old€¦

In E.O.T.R 1: Didn€™t enter.
In E.O.T.R 2: Disappointed in Round One, where it was rammed and smashed into submission by Mega Masher 2 and smashed up by 23rd seed Psyclonised, until nothing was left.

From Hampshire, M2!!
-1>Entered by Dave Sheppard/Paul Cooper
Prepare to hit the road! This robot is a special case as it scored the first 2 OOTA€™s of Robot Wars S7, and it did that by using its 2 x 750w Bosch motors to give off 20mph and using the low-pressure flipper to get under and toss everything away. The speed and flipper is nothing to be argued with, but it has a strong chassis but weak, see-through armour€¦

And so E.O.T.R starts up in style with all robots charging straight into the arena centre! M2 is struggling a bit on the steel floor and the Champion takes full advantage of that and crashes into the Polycarp armour of M2 and flings it into the arena wall, leaving some scarring marks, but Steven feeling in a blood-thirsty mood rushes in and uses his blades to cause full damage - the whole side armour is pierced and ripped fully off! The panel stays on the floor as Panicking rams in, with the spikes parallel to the ground, and charges them INTO the side of M2! Martyn reverses out with M2 on the spikes as Whirligig 4.0 scuttles into the sides again and rips another panel into shreds, as well as flinging the combined weight of Panicking and M2 into the pit release button! The siren echoes around the arena, as Panicking turns and gets ready to charge M2 down the pit, but M2 is no longer on the spikes, but now impaled against the wall! Panicking swiftly turns around and the Champion can be seen going for M2 as well, and Whirligig gets there first and bashes the side to hell again, but also hits Panicking€™s lifters! The forks are bent out of shape, but so is M2€™s armour - and Steven goes in for more! Another blow and the entire rear protection is just torn out, and Whirligig hits in again, this time it hits the inner workings! It tears out a wheel which rolls away and down the pit. Smoke is now being emitted from the battered workings of M2, but it still seems to be moving slightly, but a ramming blow by Panicking charges it right up the arena! Whirligig comes in again to score a dent on Panicking€™s rear and also bashes the flipping arm of M2! The arm that was never used in the fight is ripped clean out! It lies on the floor, as M2 doesn€™t seem to be moving now. The countdown starts as Whirligig powers down the spinning ring as him and Panicking go into a victory spin.
10€¦9€¦8€¦7€¦6€¦5€¦4€¦3€¦2 €¦1€¦cease!!!

Result:
M2 hits the road home!
WHIRLIGIG 4.0 (1) AND PANICKING GO THROUGH TO ROUND TWO!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------

+1>From Geddington, seeded #17, Ramthrax 2!!
-1>Entered by Alex Holt
Fed up of killing wildlife, Ramthrax is now going for robots! This robot is a powerhouse of traction and power combined, using 6 wheels coated with Vulkalon, allow for the ultimate in terms of tractions, and it also has 2 x B42-500 Magmotors at 48V, allowing for massive amounts of horsepower! On the front is a massive concave Hardox plate, designed to kill FBS€™s, which it€™s designed to take on and to stop spinners, it has 4mm Tungsten Steel skirts on the sides. In the scoop as well are two actuators which can lift a 100kg robot 5cm off the ground, allowing for a bigger ram. Despite all this, although the armour on the front is the toughest ever in vapourbot history, the sides, top and rear armour is 3mm Titanium€¦

In E.O.T.R 1: Didn€™t enter.
In E.O.T.R 2: Had an easy Round One battle after pitting TIRTASM with helping from reigning champ Killotine: EVO. In Round Two, it was tougher when 17th seed FireStorm 5 pinned it on the walls, and got ready for an OOTA, but Alex escaped and dumped FireStorm down the pit! It met the Champion Killotine: EVO in the Heat A final, and it went totally wrong as Steven€™s axe robot took out the control box, leaving Mr. Holt€™s robot dead in the arena.

+1>From Toronto, Canada, Seung Mina III!!
-1>Entered by Kody Kunz
Whatever it means it must be dangerous - just like this robot! It€™s a wedge robot with sloped sides and rear to make them spinner-proof, and it can get up to 17mph, giving massive speed. It has shock-proofing inside to stop spinners shock-killing it. The flipper is made of 8mm Titanium and the body is made of 3.25 Hardox. The electrics are protected from attackers by a piece of Hardox that is over the gaps when the flipper opens. Overall, a tough design, but if something gets under it, it€™ll be easily flipped.

+1>From Cambridge, Disc-O-Inferno!!
-1>Entered by Christopher Mason/Mark Marshall
Do you want to dance the dance of death? You may well have to when drawn against Disc-O-Inferno! A polycarbonate box with a 30kg 1000rpm disc, designed to cause massive damage to realies armour. It can also move at 30mph and is driven by 2 wheels. Despite all this though, it has multiple faults, including the high ground clearance, the poor pushing power and the fact that the disc can€™t damage the armour on vapourbots!

A speeding Ramthrax bursts from starting place and hits the disc of DOI as Kody of Team Zlayerz joins him on the assault! Chris is immediately worried by this as Alex catches DOI on the scoop and then instantly runs it into the Hardox spikes! Suddenly BANG! DOI takes a bit of damage from the spikes as Alex backs off and allows Kody to get the flipper underneath, and an almightily impressive flip sends the realie 5ft into the air! DOI lands inside the arena and drives away into the side of Ramthrax, with the disc spinning at maximum revs. Damage is sustained by the seed, but it now rams into DOI again, this time into the disc! Kody suddenly charges at Ramthrax, but the skirts keep it safe, so Alex spins around and drives Seung Mina over the flipping spikes! Seung Mina is thrown over Ramthrax and lands on its wheels. DOI charges in, but Ramthrax, calmly controlled by Alex, charges in and stops the disc before backing away into the pit release button! Chris now tries to spin up the disc - but it won€™t spin! Ramthrax now charges behind DOI and pushes it into Seung Mina! Kody turns around and pushes DOI towards the side and a flip sends the realie OOTA!

Result:
Disc-O-Inferno won€™t be dancing for some time!
RAMTHRAX 2 (17) AND SEUNG MINA III GO THROUGH TO ROUND TWO!!

ROUND TWO:
Whirligig 4.0 (1) vs. Seung Mina III
Ramthrax 2 (17) vs. Panicking

Tactics, prodictions, opinions, some hobnobs

[martyn]

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

Better fights than before Paul, along with good introductions. Am hopping that the second round will be slightly longer fights, with the vapours more equaly matched, as the real robots were really only ever going to be a bit more than fodder in this heat.

Ramthrax 2 (17) vs. Panicking (me)
Could be an intresting fight here, i think i will be able to get under the front with the forks, and that way I will be able to lift the wheels of Ramthrax off the ground thus be able to push it easily and hopfuly pit it

[majinb]

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

not that bad paul, not at all

Whirligig 4.0 (1) vs. Seung Mina III

Yeah, Seung Mina is a nice flipper but Whirligig is the champ and a very dangerous FBS, as well as invertible. Seung Mina to lose a panel or two .


Ramthrax 2 (17) vs. Panicking

Pfff, two nice rambots here. Ramthrax more power I believe, but Panickings weapon could nulify this, if Martyn manages to get it in.

HEAT A
ROUND 2
Seung Mina II VS WHIRLIGIG 4.0 (1)

Spin up, head for the sides and kill it.

Whirligig doesnt do indepth tactics. You lot know that by now. :wink:
