If you wish to enter undated models...do so, but it must be BEFORE their heats.

Gabriels technically at version 1.25, not 1.2...although the only change between the two is dimensions, so its not a major problem. Both are in the improvement thread.

By the way Kody, there is NO WAY my fights are going to be up there with the works of Steven or Martijn or Richard or Matty or Frank or you. Im on a learning curve at the moment, and that curve is going upwards, as is the quality of my fights - looking back, I now notice how bad my early fights really were . But if Samuel would like to post in his tactics for Terrorhurtz, then I get my ship floating!

Right, I havent recieved Samuels tactics, but Ive heard somewhere on here that hes going for GoldDigger as well as Kody, so then...

+2>LET THE EYE OF THE ROBOT-SERIES 4 BEGIN!!!!

Heat 1

ROUND ONE:
Kali (1) vs. Bulldog Breed vs. Gabriel V1.2
Terrorhurtz (17) vs. GoldDigger vs. Seung Mina III

+1>From Geddington, seeded #1, KALI!!
-1>Entered by Alex Holt
Welcome the Hindu god of destruction and last series€™ god of winning! Kali is inspired in its design by Storm 2, and its obvious in its 6 Vulkanised wheels powered by the classic 2 x LEM130€™s at 36V, allowing nothing but pure power and traction. However, this robot has a BioHazard style lifting arm, powered by high-pressure CO2! The flipper is capable of flipping a great deal, and has an ultra low extension plate to get under almost any form of skirting. To add to the strong package, it€™s made stronger by the ABC armour, 5mm on the sides and rear, enforced to 1cm at the front, with 15mm Polycarbonate on top, which is good, but an axe could damage the top armour quite badly!

In E.O.T.R 1: Didn€™t enter.

In E.O.T.R 2: Made a mark in Round One of the heat against 5th seed Terrorhurtz and newcomer BOTCG, who was flipped around the arena by Kali and hammered by Terrorhurtz. Eventually, BOTCG went OOTA, as did its Round Two obstacle 21st seed Clawdius Decimus Murderous, and he went out quite quickly! Terrorhurtz causes major damage to the top armour in the Heat Final, but Kali got around the rear, and pushed and flipped, sending Terrorhurtz OOTA as well, and sending himself into the semis! ForcePower Turbo was a hassle in the first Round of the semis, but also went the same way as all those before. But in Round Five, 10th seed Leprosy Infection escaped the OOTA, and jammed up Kali€™s armour against its wheels, leaving the god of destruction€¦destroyed.

In E.O.T.R 3: (SEEDED Started off in similar fashion to the last series, when drawn against the deadly Infusion Helix and MegaByte. Kali took a bit of damage, but quickly flipped out MegaByte, despite losing a panel. It was quickly fixed, and quickly finished off Back To Rock 3 via OOTA as well. In the Heat Final, it took on 24th seed Metal Sonic Spin Dash, who didn€™t pose a problem, but Kali couldn€™t finish him off! Nevertheless, a completely unanimous Judges Decision put Kali into the semis once more! A good newcomer, Fick Me 4-3, was flipped over once, twice and thrice, and even more times before it was sent down the pit! In the Quarters against twice runner-up and 2nd seed Storm 2, we saw Kali on the ropes for the first time in the series, mostly at the beginning when it nearly got pitted, but Alex literally pushed to claim a Judges Decision, but only just. In the final 4, Eternia, the robot responsible for finishing off the favourites for contest, was quickly disposed of by Kali via OOTAing - Kali was in the final! In that final, we thought we were in for a shock when Wedginator 6.0 thrust him all over the arena, but in the closing seconds of the battle and series, Kali pushed him to the edge and just flipped him out the ring just in time to claim the Hardox Cup!

+1>From Cannock, Staffordshire, Bulldog Breed!!
-1>Entered by Tony Somerfield
Let the dog start to bark! A classic wedge shape real robot from RW, armed with a flipper with enough power to turn you over - at least - or even flip you out the arena! It has 2 wheel drive, powered by 2 x Bosch 750w 24V motors. The armour is Hardox and Titanium, so its tough, but not fast at 10mph!

In E.O.T.R 1: Had several lucky breaks in the heat, first in Round One, after avoiding a pitting Big Nipper to come back and flip Son Of Wedgie down the pit instead. Dantomkia came at it in Round Two, nearly getting it OOTA, but once again, Bulldog managed to turn it around and pit it. Big Nipper met it once again in the Heat Final, and bossed it as well, but once again, Bulldog Breed pitted it. But in the final 12, it met Y4, and couldn€™t turn it around, as it was flipped OOTA.

In E.O.T.R 2: Didn€™t enter.

In E.O.T.R 3: Didn€™t enter.

+1>From Pontefract, Gabriel V1.2!!
-1>Entered by Joey McConnel
Named after the €˜Angel Of Peace€™ in the bible, this robot is the €˜Angel Of Death€™! Gabriel is an elongated Triangular pyramid with a steep rear and shallow front end. Motors for this are 2 x S28-400 MagMotors which provide perfect power and speed combined - 14mph and 12hp! The weaponry is A high pressure pneumatic front hinged flipper, consisting of the front edge of the body, running from 2 2.5kg CO2 tanks and a hydraulic ram giving 35 flips in a match and capable of flipping 100kgs and lifting several times more than that. Also has hardened steel spikes located on either side of the front point, and it can spin in place to try and do damage with these. The armour is 7mm Titanium on the sides and has 7mm Hardox in places, so it€™s tough there, but the base plate is 3mm Aluminium, and could take a bit of damage if flipped!

Straight away from the word €˜activate€™, Bulldog Breed tries his chances with the newcomer, but is intercepted by the reigning champion! Kali€™s extension wedge immediately gets underneath the Bulldog, and a moment later and we see Bulldog Breed flying in a 360 style flip. Tony thinks he€™s OK, but Gabriel now comes in and thrusts under the dog before driving it across the arena into the pit release switch! Tony flips the realie loose from the grip of Joey, only to be caught by the grip of Kali! Kali now flips again, and Bulldog lands upside-down! Gabriel rams in as the robot tries to self-right, and knocks Bulldog Breed back onto its back! Kali is waiting, calmly, waiting its time€¦and NOW IT DRIVES OUT AND PUSHES BULLDOG BREED INTO THE SPIKES! The tyres of the real robot suddenly start to hiss€¦and Tony realises that the tyres are deflating! He flips himself upright and drives for Kali, hoping to finish the battle quickly now, and now understands why Kali is the champion, as it pushes the Bulldog against the flipper of Gabriel, and flicks the dog onto it, before Joey flips Bulldog Breed back onto Kali! Alex then wastes no time in speeding the inverted and helpless dog towards the edge of the ring and a burst of compressed air from the champ€™s flipper sends the dog flying into the air and over the arena walls! Kali backs into the arena centre and spins in delight, but suddenly, Gabriel rushes in, and slams Kali against the wall! A flip leaves Kali beached, but Alex frees himself. Then Gabriel and Kali spin in delight, as Alex wonders if he€™ll get revenge later€¦

Result:
Bulldog Breed is put to sleep!
KALI ( AND GABRIEL V1.2 GO THROUGH TO ROUND TWO!!!

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

+1>From Oxford, Oxfordshire, seeded #17, Terrorhurtz!!
-1>Entered by John Reid/Samuel Park
Welcome back to the king of Robot Wars axes! It€™s shaped like a tetrahedron, and is heavily armoured, with a 6mm Stainless Steel front scoop and 12mm Polycarbonate armour for the rest of the body, as well as that weapon - the dreadful axe that is generating 900kg of force per hit! Its front is very low to the ground, using a pneumatic foot at the rear to push the front down. It is very strong and hard to beat, but Terrorhurtz has a high rear ground clearance, open for many a flipper!

In E.O.T.R 1: Started off by hacking off the scoop of The Axe Attaxe, but then assisting the wounded robot to pit Axe-O-Lotl. Hell Machine was pressured into the bot shredders and then had the underside hammered in Round Two, and Terrorhurtz won through. The Axe Attaxe was once again damage in the Heat Final by Terrorhurtz, who then pitted it. In the final 12, it was drawn against the lethal Whirligig 4.0, but caused a massive shock when it impaled Whirligig on the wall and hammered the shuffling pads to hell. But in the final 6 melees, it helped Storm 2 take out Y4, but was rammed out the arena by Storm, however, it outlasted Crusher C.U in the play-off, only to be flipped down the pit by Y4, but did well enough to come 5th.

In E.O.T.R 2: (SEEDED 5) Started off in Round One by teaming-up with Kali upon BOTCG. Despite being flipped by Kali, it managed to damage BOTCG enough to allow Kali to flip it out! In Round Two, it took on Lunch Box, who was sent packing (pun intended) after Terrorhurtz knocked it onto its back, and then let it flip itself out! But in the Heat Final, it met Kali again, and despite causing major damage, Kali got around the rear, and then tossed the seed OOTA!

In E.O.T.R 3: (SEEDED 1 Began in the final Round One battle by hacking Chaos 2 to death with the help of a Disc-Clad Cyclone Force 2.5. And in Round Two, another KO, this time on Mantis, who was overcome by the evil axe! But it met 2nd seed Storm 2 in the Heat Final, and rammer was too strong to be killed and Terrorhurtz, despite getting in multiple axe blows, was rammed OOTA again.

+1>From Longbeach, California, GoldDigger!!
-1>Entered by Randy Eubanks
This GoldDigger ain€™t after your money, just your soul! A simple construct - a simple 2 wheeled hexagon shape, with a top speed of 8mph, but a massive spinning speed, allowing for its heavy pointed pick-axe to hit something hard! They say its body is tough to damage, but the wheels aren€™t so tough!

+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.

In E.O.T.R 1: Didn€™t enter.

In E.O.T.R 2: Didn€™t enter.

In E.O.T.R 3: Got going in Round One against Disc-O-Inferno and 17th seed Ramthrax 2. It ganged-up upon Disc-O-Inferno with Ramthrax and soon flipped Disc-O-Inferno OOTA! But in Round Two, it met the then Champion, Whirligig 4.0, and it lost its flipper early on, as well as 2 other panels. It got its flipper back, but couldn€™t pull off a shock, and the Judges chose Whirligig to advance.

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

GoldDigger starts to spin up, as Seung Mina powers into its fury! The pick-axe impacts on the Hardox bodywork, and does no damage to the armourment, and so Kody powers under the robots ground clearance and flicks it up into the air! Terrorhurtz now enters the fray and comes into GoldDigger has it lands with a bang, AND THE AXE STARTS TO HIT UPON THE TOP PROTECTION! The axe is doing quite a bit of denting onto the top protection, but suddenly, GoldDigger starts to spin, but Samuel and John back away from the flailing piece of metal, and Seung Mina now comes in again to send GoldDigger flying into the air! GoldDigger lands and tries to go for the pit, but Terrorhurtz intercepts it, and aim the axe for the armour, but it misses, but it HITS THE PICK-AXE ON THE AMERICAN! The axe-head of Terrorhurtz performs a good, clean slice on the axe-rod, and the pick-axe head flies off! Seung Mina comes in to flip GoldDigger again, but it misses and flicks up Terrorhurtz! Terrorhurtz lands upside-down, and GoldDigger tries to perform an attack, but the speed of the British robots self-righting is too great, and now Terrorhurtz charges in AND STRIKES A BLOW ON GOLDDIGGER€™S TYRES! GoldDigger suddenly remains still, and the countdown begins!
10€¦9€¦8€¦7€¦6€¦5€¦4€¦3€¦2 €¦1€¦cease!!!
Seung Mina now drives in again, and now pushes the immobile GoldDigger towards the edge of the ring, and a flick places the immobile American on the scrapheap!

Result:
GoldDigger just ends up digging a hole into nothing!

Extremely good fights, Paul...and I cant say Im not pleased to start the series off so well :P

Kali (1) vs. Seung Mina III
Kali to win here, I guess.

Terrorhurtz (17) vs. GABRIEL
I think my armour might be able to take the axe blows, but I cant really do that much to Terrorhurtz - its annoyingly difficult to kill. My best bet would be to try and get underneath the rear, and try and shove it down the pit. Failing that, either go for the OOTA or spin madly and hope something comes off, and avoid the hazards.

[kodster]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Good fights, Paul.

Kali (1) vs. Seung Mina III

Mm-hmm. I thought so. Well, to be quite honest, Im NOT afraid Ill lose here. In fact Im quite confident. We both have nearly the same amount of power and traction, so I doubt either of us will be able to push around the other that much. Also, Kali may be faster, but that means Seung Mina will have more manoeuvrability. Also, keep in mind that Kalis 0.4mm ground clearance will make it hard to achieve its top speed of 25mph. Add to that that Seung Mina has a more powerful flipping device. Its time to break Seung Minas bad luck streak of going out in the second round. :wink:

Basically, Seung Mina will use her superior manoeuvrability to get to Kalis sides or rear, slide all the way under Kali from there with the flipper spikes, DONT flip yet but carry it to the wall, and toss it out. With a better flipper than the previous generation, Mina should easily be able to. If Mina somehow gets Kali from the front, the top claw will stop it from driving over it (not like thatll happen anyway :wink. If the pit is open, wedge Kali and dump it in.

If Kali gets to Minas sides, REVERSE. This will place Kali in front of Mina and set Kali up perfectly for a side attack. If Mina gets flipped at all, self-right immediately.

Summary: Use better manoeuvrability to get to Kalis sides, wedge it, go for OOTA or pitting, REVERSE when Kali is at Minas sides, self-righted when inverted.

Terrorhurtz (17) vs. Gabriel V1.2

The base plate of Gabriel is weak...but THz cant flip it. THz out.

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

Immediately, both Alex and Kody adopt the same tactic, AND SPEED FORWARDS TOWARDS EACH OTHER! As they smash into each other, we can see quite easily that Kali is lower at the front, and the flipper of the Champ sends the sloped robot tumbling onto its back, but instantly Kody self-rights his robot, but it lands on the flipper of Kali! The Canadian tumbles again, and now flips itself away, and reverses away before Kali can come in again. Kali is now driving forward, and bashes into the sides of Seung Mina, but Kody reverses, and now HE is side-on to the Champion, and now the wedge bashes under, and flips the box-wedge over in a 360 style of flip, and Kali drives forward again, and slams back Seung Mina into the spikes, with the use of its extra traction. Seung Mina wiggled and squirmed as it struggled to break free from the grip of Kali, but finally pushed itself out, and now pushed underneath the front of Kali, AND SUDDENLY BEGAN PUSHING KALI TOWARDS THE WALL! Alex tried to reverse away from the flipper, but Seung Mina reached the wall, and FLIPPED! But only flipped Kali onto the wall, and then Alex flicks himself away from the wall before Seung Mina could come in again. Kali speeds off and bashes once again underneath Seung Mina and drives it back against the arena wall, and flips it up, and upside-down! Kali then speeds in and knocks Seung Mina around to face its rear against the wall, and Kody fires the flipper AND SEUNG MINA LAUNCHES ITSELF OVER THE WALL AND OUT THE RING! Alex reverses the champion back into the centre of the ring, and Kody hides his head in his hands.

Result:
Seung Mina III must go into the next generation!
KALI (1) GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!

The faster Terrorhurtz moves away towards Gabriel, but the newcomer is more powerful, and the wedge shape bashes underneath the tetrahedron and flicks the seed onto its back! The powerful axe powers Terrorhurtz back onto its tyres, and now Sam and John drive backwards, but so does Gabriel, so Terrorhurtz drives forwards and BRINGS THE AXE HAMMERING DOWN! Gabriel€™s Titanium armour suffers a couple of dints, and now Terrorhurtz forces it back against the arena wall, and bring the axe down onto the flipper, but that takes no damage at all. Joey struggles a bit, but John and Sam back off and Gabriel SMASHES INTO THE FRONT OF TERRORHURTZ! Gabriel now pushes Terrorhurtz towards the arena wall, and FLIPS! As a result of this, Terrorhurtz lands on the wall, with its self-righting line pointing to a direct OOTA! Terrorhurtz doesn€™t seem to be firing the axe, BUT NOW IT DOES! Terrorhurtz flies into the air, and LANDS INSIDE OF THE RING! Gabriel charges in again, but misses in the attack and crashes into the wall! Terrorhurtz now spins side-on to the Angel, and bring the axe down, but onto the Hardox, so no damage is sustained! Joey now, expertly spins away, and rams behind Terrorhurtz€¦
10€¦9€¦
Joey drives forward, and smashes Terrorhurtz against the wall!
€¦8€¦7€¦
Terrorhurtz now gives chase, but the front lifts up, and Sam and John realise - the pneumatic foot is broken!

Gabriel charges in against, but Terrorhurtz bashes it against the wall again, and rains down with the blows!
€¦4€¦3€¦
Gabriel sustains a couple of dents to the armour, but that€™s it!
€¦2€¦1€¦CEASE!

Hooray! A brilliant fight, which ends in amazing fashion! The crowds cheer out the name of Terrorhurtz, believing the newcomer to be beat, but its down to the judges:

JD - The scores:

Dominance: The battle was fairly hectic, with moments of each robot dominating, but Gabriel gains more points for the more frequent attacks

Terrorhurtz (17): 4 x 6 = 24
Gabriel V1.2: 7 x 6 = 42

Damage: The dents done to Gabriel are costly, but so is the loss of the pneumatic foot. Terrorhurtz wins on this decision.

Terrorhurtz (17): 8 x 5 = 40
Gabriel V1.2: 6 x 5 = 30

Aggression: Gabriel flips were excellent, but the more violent Terrorhurtz claims points for this

Terrorhurtz (17): 8 x 4 = 32
Gabriel V1.2: 6 x 4 = 24

Strategy: The more strategy was with Gabriel, and they more or less carried it out.

Terrorhurtz (17): 4 x 3 = 12
Gabriel V1.2: 10 x 3 = 30

Control: Terrorhurtz wins this for saving itself from a very difficult position, but Gabriel scores points for the precision of the attacks.

Terrorhurtz (17): 9 x 2 = 18
Gabriel V1.2: 8 x 2 = 16

Style: Gabriel is more wholly stylish than Terrorhurtz, and it wins this category.

Terrorhurtz (17): 4 x 1 = 4
Gabriel V1.2: 8 x 1 = 8

Totals:

Terrorhurtz (17): 130
Gabriel V1.2: 150

The audience may be booing this, but the JD goes to GABRIEL V1.2!

Result:
Terrorhurtz (17) feels the hurtz
GABRIEL V1.2 GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!

Uh...Hedgetrimmer Hour with Pamela Anderson?

Kali (1) vs. GABRIEL
Right. I may have a chance here, but I doubt Alex will be as open to attacks as he was in the melee.
Im guessing rather wildly here, but with 25mph and six wheel drive, Kali may not be as maneuvrable or controllable as me. Therein lies my hope: if I can get around and wedge underneath the back of it, I can try and hit it into the pit release and get it down the pit. If that fails though, avoid the walls, pit and hazards, keep my front pointed towards Kali, and use the spikes if and when I get the opportunity. Im not confident though, Kalis the reigning champion and very tough.

Very good fights Paul, extreme wootiness

Dont worry Kody! Itll win through Round 2 at some point - it just gets unlucky at being drawn against the reigning champions.

Well Seung Mina III does have a tendency to get drawn in Heat A a lot, and not just here. (Fowler Fic War 5 :wink

Im not mad, Im just a little peeved that Mina is failing me a bit.

I may work on a fourth version soon...

Looking forward to the next fight. Should be good.
