By the way, as far as pick ems go, you only need to say Robot A wins via pitting, OOTA, knockout or judges decision. Knockout only counts if a robot is counted out, so Hectors victory counts as pitfall even though Axes was also knocked out.

than what about being stacked against the wall, of stuck on the bag with no srimech?

Hector vs Tira III in The Metalworks

Tira III via knockout

Grab the thing as quickly as possible, preferably keeping the weapon away from me. Pit it if possible, but if not, try getting it to hit the wall with its own weapon as that probably stands a good chance of flipping itself. Try and do as much damage with the claws as possible.

Wow! Amazing battle! Absolutely great stuff Frank, even though I did loose. As far as my pick for the heat final, Ill go for Tira III via knockout.

Technically, that would be a knockout.

Heat Final:

Tira III vs. Hector: Im going to go for Tira III to win via KO.

Woohoo! Awesome matches there Frank! Well done, AJ, you put up a hell of a fight.

Hector vs Tira III

This seems quite easier than last battle. Hectors claws wouldnt really seem to be able to have a good hold on Tira due to Tiras shape, and I dont think theyd be able to fit around the front, so keep the front pointed at Hector, as I dont want to take any risks showing him the rear. Basically attack anywhere possible. A few hits on the claws will probably knock them out, so mainly aim for them. I love to attack weapons.

LOL, I just now realized that earlier I said I dont like the claws of Hector, without properly looking at its stats. But Im still glad I teamed up with Hector, as meeting up with Y4 later on wouldnt have been fun.

And Im sticking to my tactics of attacking Hectors claws. Aluminium Boron Carbide...yummy.

Ladies, gentlemen and hermaphrodites, welcome to the Heat A final, where we go to The Metalworks.

In first is Hector. In round 1, he teamed with Tira III to take down Y4, before winning a short fight against Axes of Evil.

Next is Tira III, who teamed up with Hector to€¦ Screw it, you know what happened. Then in round 2, Tira won a game of cat and mouse against Wedga€™s Revenge.

ACTIVATE!!

Tira backs away a little at first, giving the disc a little time to spin up. Hector, meanwhile is coming straight at it, trying to get at the sides. Tira turns around and catches the claw a clip on the side, bouncing Hector up. A second hit sends it over, and Hector hurriedly backs off, with Tira in pursuit.

Tira quickly catches up with Hector, and for a moment the claws bump up against the scoops and stop the flywheel from hitting, but only for a moment, as Hector is pushed up the scoop and Tira lands a solid blow on the bar between the claws! Something flies off as Hector is bounced up, and takes a hit on the body and the small robot is throw backwards.

Tira drives forwards in an unstoppable onslaught, and Hector is hit several times with no time to react. After half a dozen hits, Tira backs off for a moment to survey the damage and to see if there is life in Hector. Hector looks in a sorry state, the claws and body have been slashed, and the front bar is almost coming off. Hector twitches forwards a little, but soon stops again. Tira again backs off and does a victory twirl as Hector is counted out.

CEASE!!

The winner, via knockout: Tira III!

Next time:

Chalkie 3G vs Gravity vs Metalmorphosis - The Metalworks

Turbo Tails vs Hypno-Disc vs Axe to Fall - Classic

Apologies for lateness and shortness. I was really trying to think of a way it wouldnt be one sided

[kodster]

The Returners Tournament

Oh w00t! First vapourbot to make the semis of any tournament besides Wedginator! Go Tira! Happy day!

Heat B
Round 1
Chalkie 3G vs. Gravity vs. Metalmorphosis

Errr...errr...too hard to predict. :P

Turbo Tails vs Hypno-Disc vs Axe to Fall - Classic

Lets see. Hypno-Disc cant really damage 6mm titanium armour, and both these bots have better armour than that. The result? Hypno-Disc down the pit.

[pcbore]

The Returners Tournament

Im really sorry Kody, but Tira hasnt made it to the semis... Shes made it to round 2. Youll need to win another two matches before you can say its a semi-finalist

[kodster]

The Returners Tournament

Er...how does that work? :P

Edit: Sorry, let me elaborate on that a little more. Tira has won the heat. Arent there Series Semi-Finals after all the other heats? :P And another thing. Made it to Round 2? She just beat Round 3.

HAHA, congrats Kody with your first robot to ever reach Round 2!


Chalkie 3G vs Gravity vs Metalmorphosis - The Metalworks
2 interchangeable bots, bah, Gravity to lose on a JD perhaps?

Turbo Tails vs Hypno-Disc vs Axe to Fall - Classic
Axe to Fall will make sure every disc-hit is taken by the titanium wedge rather than the polycarb body. I really wanna perform some power-play against Hypno-Disc with some help of Turbo Tails perhaps. That disc has a nice flat surface, so try to get an axe-hit there ASAP and damage the weapon. From there, axe him and ram him.

all depends on how the armour is mounted to the robot. if its bolted to chassis then a good hit will sheer all the bolts and send ti flying into arena space. remember typhoon and storm2
