This is the current entries list, with 2 extra spots, so sign-up quickly, before theyre filled up!

[joey_picus]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

...can I be difficult and replace Panic Attack with Penetrator from series 2?

[paulc]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Im afraid not, as I have no idea who Penetrator is.

[joey_picus]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Never mind, thats okay...I just thought that given the history of real robots in fanfic, Penetrator had more of a chance :P

[kodster]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

If Paul will allow it, Samuel, you should make Death Wish 110kg, as tracked robots should be allowed that weight. Look at all the tracked bots out there that weigh 110kg (Darkestar, Sheer Heart Attack 2, Super Gore Evo...)

And GIANT improvement, by the way.

[paulc]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Right, Ive decided that what I might do, just to fill up the final 2 spots is to enter 8 RW realies and 8 BB realies. If two extra people enter by the end of the day, then I wont do this.

So post in tactics, predictions and a wheelbarrow

[alex_holt]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Cable
Weight: 150kg
Shape: Snakelike - 9 articulated separate segments are present, all of which are essentially a slightly compressed semi circular prism excepting the front ones. At the front the head is effectively a very flat cone going down to a flat sheet of 3mm titanium that runs parallel to the group (aka a big brother style spatula) which is sharpened at the far edge to give a maximum low ground clearance. I€™ll try and at least do an illustration before the fight.
Mobility and €˜Motors€™: The whole machine is moved in the middle 7 segments in a snakelike manner by using a sequence of 16 jumbo servos to provide horizontal movement and air muscles at 300 psi to provide vertical movement. Instead of me attempting to control the movements of every individual segment, they all move on a number of pre-programmed movement patterns housed in the electronics in the 5th segment. I can essentially vary these by directing where I want the head section to go as if it were a normal vapour and the computer works out where the rest of the parts need to go to achieve that.
Speed: 5mph
Turning circle: 0m in a manner of speaking but not in such a quick way as most vapours
Armour: 8mm of aluminium T2021, the base of the robot also has a 5mm textured polyurethane to give it some traction. The central control module of the robot also has an extra 3mm of titanium over the top to give it some extra protection for the control module.
Ground clearance: At the front, the flipper spatula essentially gives it a 0 ground , in theory the rest has a 0 ground clearance but it because sections lfit off the ground to move it varies considerably. In addition the 3rd, 5th and 7th segments have small suction pumps which allow the robot to clamp down to protect it to clamp down to give it some resistance against rammers and flippers. This doesn€™t mean it can€™t be flipped, but more that it€™s fiddly to do so. It can also be used to pivot the robot around faster.
Weapons: The front section of the robot has inside a bellows pneumatic ram (about 100mm diameter) and a tank of c02 at 1000 psi that push the head upwards as a flipper.
Furthermore in some instances due to the sloped sides it may be possible for Cable to wrap around the base of an opponent and lift them off the ground, however, this is unlikely to do any damage unless it is already and some to the point where I could know it off. In theory if there was a gaping hole in the opponent (presumable in a melee with a powerful machine or in the instance of a flipper with a big €˜bite€™) I could try and worm my way inside an opponent but it would really depend on context if I was likely to achieve much in the attempt.
Strengths: Difficult for opponent to control in a fight due to unusual design. Weapon can move around a lot more relative to the robot
Weaknesses: Long sides for movement mean it can be easy to attack. Not the fastest bot ever.

Now watch as Aaron tears it apart...

[joey_picus]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Pretty good draw, Paul. *hands over a very large wheelbarrow* Ignore the blood please, it belonged to one of my more bizarre friends...

Anyway. Tactics.

HEAT A
Kali (1) vs. Bulldog Breed vs. GABRIEL v1.25
If Alex feels like being merciful, care for a team up against the bulldog? We might be able to get him OOTA if we work together. *look of hopefulness*

HEAT B
Atomic (19) vs. NIDHOGG vs. Black Death
Avoid Black Death. I think I may be able to get round the side of Atomic, and then get the forks underneath and have a nibble, possibly feeding Atomic to Black Death if the circumstances permit. And of course, Im always open to teamings.

HEAT I
Achilles (16) vs. Crimson Thunder vs. FIRE AND ICE
Ill go for Crimson Thunder first, and try to get round the side or under it somehow and ram it into the walls or pit. I may use the saw on the wheels as well if the opportunity arises.

HEAT J
Sheer Heart Attack (30) vs. 147 vs. Ripper
Care for a team-up against Ripper, Martijn? I could get under and shove Ripper into the drum, if thats the case, or just go straight for the OOTA.

HEAT K
Quocunque Jeceris Stabit (2 vs. 13 BLACK vs. Pussycat
Spin up, and try and do a Fluffy on Pussycats blade or wheels.

HEAT L
MegaByte (10) vs. Spring-BOK! vs. PANIC ATTACK
Treat Megabyte as a mobile arena hazard - avoid and try and push Spring-BOK! into it if I get under.

HEAT N
Ramthrax 2 (6) vs. DARKE DESTROYER vs. Death Wish
Uhhhhh...avoid everything. Do a few laps of the arena, then if by some miracle Im still working, do the same in the opposite direction. Perform a few three-point turns and figure-8s if I have time.

HEAT P
Wedginator 6.0 (2) vs DREADNAUT XP1 vs. Suicidal Tendincies
Try and get the forks in Suicidal Tendencies tracks, and pit him if possible. If Kody wishes for a team-up, that could be arranged.

[alex_holt]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Kali (1) vs. Bulldog Breed vs. Gabriel V1.2
Sure I can team up, Im not feeling any especial dread from either of these two so just go against Bulldog.

Black Panther Queen (5) vs. Tough As Nails vs. Exertion
TAN seems the obvious opponent here, just flip it around loads under its nice clearance.

Psyclonised (9) vs. Shrederator vs. Cable
Just go for whomever coems for me first.

Clawdius Decimus Murderous (11) vs. Crash Bandi-Bot 3 vs. Robot The Bruce
Charge aimlessly in!

Achilles (16) vs. Crimson Thunder vs. Ice And Fire
Flip stuff.

Tengu VII ( vs. Axe-O-Lotl vs. BioHazard
Spin into stuff, prossibly biohazard as it should be relativly easily damaged.

Ramthrax 2 (6) vs. Darke Destroyer vs. Death Wish
Ram stuff.

GeForce 4.0 (20) vs. Bodyhammer vs. Flipping Mad
Realistically I dont even know how I could lose this if I tried, lol

[kodster]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Wow, after looking down the list, I noticed that somehow, Super Gore Evo got the 29th seeding spot.

Anyway, predictions and tactics!

Heat 1
Kali (1) vs. Bulldog Breed vs. Gabriel V1.2

If Alex and Joey are teaming up on Bulldog Breed, then Id say Bulldog Breed will end the match on the camera track.

Terrorhurtz (17) vs. GoldDigger vs. Seung Mina III

How cool is this. Another first heat appearance, and with a completely cannon fodder bot besides my favourite, Terrorhurtz. Im hoping for a team up with Samuel and flip that useless Battlebot around the around the arena, he cant damage Minas hardox armour at all, not with that pathetic pick-axe, at least. Let THz hack it, its all good. Try for an OOTA at least twice.

Winner: I actually think Seung Mina could put up an excellent fight against Kali, but Ill go for Kali anyway.

Heat 2
Killotine: EVO (3) vs. Death Threat 2.0 vs. Merlin

Bye Merlin.

Atomic (19) vs. Nidhogg vs. Black Death

The seed to crash out.

Winner: Killy Evo

Heat 3
Black Panther Queen (5) vs. Tough As Nails vs. Exertion

Id say Tough As Nails to put ganged up on and shoved, flipped, axed, and sent down the pit.

Turbo Tails (21) vs. Intrigue vs. Paralyzation

Go for Paralyzations exposed tires. A decent thwack should rip them and I doubt the drum will do much damage to me. Preferably go for the sides and feed him to Turbo Tails rear spinning blade. Should be a treat to see.

Winner: Black Panther Queen

Heat 4
Wedge Devolution (7) vs. SOR X vs. Iron Awe 5

Oh wow. Im not sure. Iron Awe 5 is vastly improved, and it could probably give Wedge Devo a run for its money, but for now Ill say Iron Awe goes out on a JD.

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

FrenZy out.

Winner: No idea.

Heat 5
Psycloniser (9) vs. Shrederator vs. Cable

I would REALLY love to team up with Psycloniser here. Two spinners of our calibre should definitely be enough to take out Alexs snakebot. Just keep hitting cable around the parts where it doesnt have weapons.

With Or Without You (25) vs. Typhoon 2 vs. M2

With Or Without You out. Sorry, Martijn, but this bot dont work well in melees. :sad:

Winner: Psycloniser

Heat 6
Clawdius Decimus Murderous (11) vs. Crash Bandi-Bot 3 vs. Robot The Bruce

Robot The Bruce...out.

Back To Rock 3 (27) vs. Gravity vs. Tazbot

Tazbot out for sure.

Winner: Clawdius or Back to Rock.

Heat 7
Orka MK.4 (13) vs. Dantomkia vs. Sithis

Bye Dantomkia, see you later.

Super Gore Evo (29) vs. Hexadecimator vs. Chaos 2

Awesome. Both are realies, and neither have a chance in hell of getting under me. Assuming thats the Season 5 version of Hexy-D, Ill go for it, clamp down, shove down the pit, then after the match repeat with Chaos 2, just because I can.

Winner: I have a good chance here, but Orka looks to be a very strong contender.

Heat 8
Flick Of The Wrist (15) vs. Mega Hurtz L.T vs. Wheely Big Cheese

Whomever Flick wants to go after will die.

Cyclone Force 2.5 (31) vs. Turbulence vs. Cat With Wheels

I think Im screwed. Uh...go for Cat With Wheels, avoid Cyclone Force 2.5, prepare for death.

Winner: Flick or Cyclone Force

Heat 9
Achilles (16) vs. Crimson Thunder vs. Ice And Fire

Achilles through for sure...dunno who will join him...

Another Night At The Bar (32) vs. S3 vs. Tornado

Didnt Martijn already tell you that its ANOTHER Night at the Bar, and not A Night at the Bar 2, Paul? Anyway, hell go through, and Tornado possibly to join him.

Winner: Another Night at the Bar or Achilles.

Heat 10
Metal Sonic Spin Dash (14) vs. Firestorm 5 vs. Axes Of Evil

Firestorm, sadly, to bite the dust.

Sheer Heart Attack 2 (30) vs. 147 vs. Ripper

Ripper out.

Winner: Sheer Heart Attack 2

Heat 11
Big Nipper (12) vs. Dominator 2 vs. The Matador

I so badly want Dominator to die, and I hope Matador and Big Nipper kick its ass.

Quocunque Jeceris Stabit (2 vs. 13 Black vs. Pussycat

Howd QJS get seeded? But anyway, 13 Black to go out when flipped once.

Winner: Ill go for an outside bet on The Matador here. Truth to tell Im not a fan of Big Nipper and I always thought The Matador was underachieving.

Heat 12
MegaByte (10) vs. Spring-BOK! vs. Panic Attack

Whoever gets into MegaBytes path first will die.

Wild Thing (26) vs. M.O.E vs. The Final Cut

Not sure what The Final Cut will be like, so Ill play it safe and say Wild Thing to go out.

Winner: MegaByte, probably

Heat 13
Tengu VII ( vs. Axe-O-Lotl vs. Biohazard

Biohazard has better armour than Axe-O-Lotl...bye Chris.

Wedga€™s Revenge (24) vs. Chalkie 3G vs. Walk Don€™t Run

Walk Dont Run out.

Winner: Tengu or Wedga.

Heat 14
Ramthrax 2 (6) vs. Darke Destroyer vs. Death Wish

Darke Destroyer to get rammed, and ultimately pitted.

Leprosy Infection (22) vs. Son Of Wedgie vs. Aftershock

What. An. AWESOME. Match-up. Two drums vs. a really ageing vapourbot. Team-up with Chris and tear that Wedge to shreds. Id love to see him try and flip me properly.

Winner: I like my chances in this heat as well, but Leprosy Infection and Ramthrax 2 arent too bad.

Heat 15
Storm II (4) vs. Killobite 5.0 vs. Humdrum

You know what? Im actually going to go for Storm II here. Get under him, and when I do, he will NEVER get off those lovely lifting forks. Clamp the beak down, and drag down the pit. It shouldnt be hard, as the likes of Envy, Tornado, and many others have gotten under Storm II before.

GeForce 4.0 (20) vs. Bodyhammer vs. Flipping Mad B2B

Haha, sorry Alex but Bodyhammer is going out.

Winner: GeForce, probably

Heat 16
Wedginator 6.0 (2) vs. Dreadnaut XP1 vs. Suicidal Tendincies

All riiiiiiiight. It feels good being the second seed, but not good enough! Sure, Joey, Ill team up. Flip Suicidal Tendencies and give him to Dreadnaut XP1.

Whirligig 4.0 (1 vs. Turbo Shedder vs. Squirmin Vermin

Whirligig through for damn sure, and Turbo Shredder should follow him through.

Winner: Agh...you know it aint good when I get put in a heat with Whirligig. Id say me and Steve to meet in the heat final, and Whirligig to send me packing.

Looks promising, Paul...just hope it doesnt turn into another HYPOTHETICAL. :wink:

[paulc]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

So, here is the heat to start us off:

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

Send in tactics, predictions and a house

[joey_picus]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

TACTICS:
As above.

PREDICTIONS:
Terrorhurtz vs. GoldDigger vs. Seung Mina III
GoldDigger to leave the arena, potentially by air and missing a few bits.

Winner: Ideally me, but Im being realistic so Ill say Kali to beat Seung Mina in the final, albeit by a JD.

HOUSE:
Ive got a caravan, will that do?

[kodster]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Already sent in tactics and predictions. Looking forward to this, but Id like to see if you can rival my latest long fights, or Mattys essays for that matter, Paul. :wink:
