Now, Alex is so predictable with tactics, and Tough As Nails is one of the filler robots, so it doesnt matter. And heres the second round!

ROUND TWO:
Black Panther Queen (5) vs. Intrigue
Turbo Tails (21) vs. Tough As Nails

BLACK PANTHER QUEEN vs. INTRIGUE

Booth #1: Kody K
Booth #2: Alex H

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

Skid marks appear on the steel floor as BPQ storms off the starting line as it speeds out to meet Intrigue! The robots try to turn into the sides of one-another, but they both miss! Kody tries to pull Intrigue back under control, but BPQ has done it quickest, and SMASHES into Intrigue€™s rear. A flip, and a few milliseconds later, Intrigue is over and the Team Doomforall design is bringing the axe into play on the base panel, as the axe comes down and causes a slight hole in underbelly but the Canadian responds with instant reaction timing and it leaps into the air, as Intrigue flies over and is righted! However, Alex charges underneath and it now pushes Intrigue towards the arena wall! Kody panics, but regains his senses to spin away from the seeded robot, but it spins too quickly! BPQ is now around the rear, and now turns Intrigue over once more and pushes it towards and flips! Kody fires his axe his rage as€¦HE FALLS BACK INTO THE ARENA! The audience and Kody cheer as he realises this fact, and turns around and charges Intrigue head-on into BPQ and now slices down with the axe! The axe has become impaled in the front armour, and Alex tries to push, but he knows who has the more power, and it€™s not him! Alex is pushed back against the wall, and the axe of Intrigue comes loose, allowing the 5th seed to bring down its own axe, which is causing serious dents into the Titanium! Intrigue hits it again, but a flip from BPQ has got Intrigue in the place it wants - trapped under the flipper without its traction! BPQ now escorts Intrigue over to the pit release button! Intrigue is knocked away by the hit and now spins and hits the axe in again! Alex reverses, but Intrigue wrestles it towards the pit€¦AND BPQ FALLS DOWN! Kody launches into hysterics as Intrigue makes the Heat Final!

Result:
Black Panther Queen (5) is exiled from its own kingdom!
INTRIGUE GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!

TURBO TAILS vs. TOUGH AS NAILS

Booth #1: Jeoren L
Booth #2: Steven M

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

The wheels of Tough As Nails starts to spin, as does the blade of Turbo Tails! The whining increases as the Scot and the Dutch charge to end up SLAMMING into each other at a terrifying velocity! The lower robot is Turbo Tails and he drives into the open claws of Tough As Nails, and before Jeoren€™s robot can have time to put some of its power down, Turbo Tails is already driving it across the arena! Turbo Tails reverse away and Tough As Nails drives away, but Steven spins and reverses into the speeding Tough As Nails€¦BOOM! That hit from the bar was a monster blow! And now rolling across the arena€¦IS THE LEFT WHEEL OF TOUGH AS NAILS! Jeoren is laughing, mostly in worry. Turbo Tails seems to be laying off slightly, waiting for the countdown to let it through to the Heat Final! However, Tough As Nails seems to be moving€¦and forward as well! Steven now charges in again, and the bar€¦BOOM! The other wheel goes rolling away! NOW the countdown begins!
10€¦9€¦8€¦7€¦6€¦5€¦4€¦3€¦2 €¦1€¦cease!!!
Turbo Tails spins on the spot, and now drives in with the flipper! Tough As Nails is overturned, and now the pit, activated by the Scot, starts to descend into doom! The pushy comedybot makes another pitting€¦BANG!

Result:
Tough As Nails ain€™t so tough without wheels!
TURBO TAILS (21) GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!

Define stuff for us, it helps

Turbo Tails vs. Intrigue
Difficult this. Turbo Tails can probably immobilise Intrigue, but it could get shoved down the pit befre it can - Ill go for Intrigue to cause an upset here.

Damn right! HAHAHA! I seriously wasnt expecting that. Awesome stuff.

Turbo Tails (21) vs. Intrigue

Well, lets see...Turbo Tails, as Frank mentioned, is unable to self-right with the flipper (its using the low-pressure one for this tournament)...I think Im going to try something else along with my usual tactics of hack to death - Im going to try and slide under Turbo Tails with the wedge attached to the axe, and then flip it with the axe by retracting. It shouldnt be hard as long as Ive got Turbo Tails in line. If it becomes a problem, grapple and push to pit.

But the best thing I have going for me is my lowness. Turbo Tails cant hit Intrigue with the rear bar as Intrigue is 15cm high. Take that into account folks. :wink:

Id love to see how Steve can counter this. :wink:

Added tactics: Get under Turbo Tails flipper, and push it into the wall. Lets see how badly I can smash TTs blade into the wall

HEAT C
ROUND 3
Intrigue VS TURBO TAILS (21)

Yaaay! My inferior Paint skills are going to get me killed once more!

Not much I can do here. One thing Kody has overlooked, though, is Intrigues ground clearance. At a mere 1mm max, itll have a tough time overcoming the smallest of bumps - like my wedge. Tactics here are to charge the sides (preferebly at the corners) and try to get under that low, low ground clearance. If I succeed, keep charging so it rides up on top of Turbo Tails and into the spinning bar. Being short is no guarantee of safety from the tails, Kody. :wink:

Small mistake. That shall be changed later. Hopefully by the same time TT lowers its spinning bar. :wink:

Sound still be a good match, just relying on aggression.

One more thing: keep the axe out of range of that bar, for IT CAN get hit if I swing it down at the wrong time.

HEAT FINAL:

TURBO TAILS vs. INTRIGUE

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

Roboteers, stand by!!!

The robots seem to be tentative moving out into battle, with the Scottish fluffy robot spinning its hellish blade, and Kody with Intrigue sitting and waiting€¦now though he CHARGES AT THE FRONT OF TURBO TAILS! Steven stylishly dodges away that sign of peril, and bashes the front-right corner of Intrigue, but can€™t seem to push that far under underneath! However, Intrigue is stuck on the wedge, and Intrigue finds himself being escorted to the side, as Steven tries to push Intrigue onto the top of Turbo Tails€¦BUT HE CAN€™T! And now Intrigue fires his axe to force himself away from Turbo Tails! He now ends up side-on to Turbo Tails and BRINGS THE AXE DOWN! No notable damage is caused, but now Kody goes into reverses! And the layer of front fur is partly ripped off! Steven seems angered by this, and charges in once more, and gets under the body of Intrigue, and it performs the Highland fling on Intrigue! Kody doesn€™t hesitate when it comes to him self-righting, but Steven doesn€™t hesitate either, and bring the bar in to SLICE AT THE BASE PANEL! Nothing seems to have been sustained by Intrigue, and now he slices down the axe down once more, but Steven turns to get the bar into play on the axe! The axe hits the central spinning part of the bar, and the axe retracts, and Steven drives forward with the flipper, but he notices something - the bar isn€™t working! Steven now tries to get the flipper into play, but Intrigue spins away, and takes his chance to ram Turbo Tails over the flipping spike! Turbo Tails is now upside-down and it can€™t ALWAYS self-right! Intrigue takes this chance to hit the pit release button! Turbo Tails now fires its flipper, AND IT SELF-RIGHTS ITSELF! Steven is relieved, but Kody now gets his wedge underneath Turbo Tails, and the axe is brought down! Turbo Tails is now being moved across the arena to the pit, AND IS NOW ON THE EDGE! Turbo Tails is balancing, with the axe still in Turbo Tails! Intrigue fires the axe€¦AND THE AXE HAS COME LOOSE! Turbo Tails falls down the pit with a BANG! Intrigue rotates in the middle of the ring, and fires the axe in joy!

Result:
Turbo Tails (21) is clipped from victory!
INTRIGUE GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!!

*SHOCK. GASP. HORRO - JOY.*

Intrigues first tournament...and he gets into the semis! w00t!

Heh. good try, Steve. Youll get Sonics buddy into the semis...someday. :wink:

Wedge Devolution (7) vs. Son of Ripper Hex vs. Iron Awe 5

SoR...X? I dont see a SoR X, so Im assuming this is SoR Hex.

Lets see...Iron Awe 5 is a realie, but not to be underestimated. However, I can see the Steve/AJ team forming again here and trying to put Iron Awe 5 somewhere nasty...Iron Awe 5 out on a judges decision.

Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus (23) vs. Axe To Fall vs. FrenZy

Theres no Axe to Fall 2 right now either...but even if there was, FrenZy is still going out.

Chris, shall we try to beat the crap out of FrenZy?

[andrewj]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Youll probably want to write the fights before I get SOR X done so just stay with SOR Hex please. For tactics, Im thinking me and Steve team up and send Iron Awe OOTA?

I can see FrenZy going out in the other match too.

Can I ask AJ, which of the interchangable weaponry on SOR Hex are you using for this battle?
