May as well join in the TAN hunt, I suspect my flipper will prove useful here.

One day I shall beat Killotine.

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

ROUND ONE:
Black Panther Queen (5) vs. Tough As Nails vs. Exertion
Not looking good for TAN here - I predict the fight to be over in 20 seconds via the pit, or similar.

Turbo Tails (21) vs. Intrigue vs. Paralyzation
Given the team up, Ill take Paralyzation to leave the arena missing some bits.

Good fights Paul, theyre getting better and better

I think Ill go for Turbo Tails here, and smash through the fur all the way to the innards, and since my drum CAN easily cut through hardox, and my tires are shockproofed, I think I may have a chance here.

[kodster]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Sorry, Samuel, but hardox cant be cut through like that, and leastaways not with a drum. Your plan is flawed

[samuel3764]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

ok, it can cut through titanium.

[alex_holt]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Its not really that simple, for one thing by definition a drum has quite a thin diamter so its force isnt that great. Personally thats why I never use drums: they never seem to do as good a job as alternate weapon choices.

Anyway, bear in mind drums are not cutting weapons either, and that both titanium and hardox are sturdy enough to take hits from reasonably potent flywheels. ..

Oh, and Martijn be two entries short in his low walls tournament, Samuel. If you would be so kind to enter a robot after reading the rules...

HEAT 3

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

+1>From Geddington, seeded #5, Black Panther Queen!!
-1>Entered by Alex Holt
Thee honourable majesty has come to claim her rightful throne! Hoping to do better than all its previous effects and win, the Black Panther Queen (or BPQ) has an axe/flipper combo that can be suitably admired, can two Bosch motors. The speeds given are 24mph and 4hp, not the best in a straight shoving match but good enough. The axe is diamond edged and made of steel and capable of piercing, and the flipper can lift around 550kg! It has 4 wheel drive and the rear is sprung down to provide better grip. The armour is made of 5mm Aluminium Boron Carbide and has two inches of Titanium foam in the front to absorb the massive shock damage it can take from super-spinners. Only if it faces a spinner, it will not look to good after the fight!

In E.O.T.R 1: Started poorly after being tossed OOTA by PCC, just after immobilising The Nose 3.0, but it redeemed itself by hammering and then OOTAing No Close Shave 3 in Round Two and then getting its own back upon PCC in the Heat Final. SNDOS carved the Panther into something horrible in the final 12, but Alex controlled his robot to greatness and pitted SNDOS in the final minutes of the fight. In the final 6, it caught Crusher C.U in the clutches, but then they were both pitted by Killotine: EVO, but Black Panther Queen went on to claim 4th place in the play-off!

In E.O.T.R 2: (SEEDED 4) Had little to no difficulty in the heat, where it flipped Flea 2.0 down the pit before knocking Scottishly Fiction down as well in Round One, then it pushed and flipped T.O.C.2 over the ring before a pitting and then giving 20th seed Drilla Killa 7 a boot from the competition and arena! In the semis though, it went completely wrong from the word go, with the 16th seed Big Nipper turning it over and pushing it around, but Black Panther Queen just survived on a 39-36 decision, and then it got completely bashed and torn out of shape by 8th seed and eventual champion Whirligig 4.0, who won on a JD 49-26.

In E.O.T.R 3: (SEEDED 5) Teamed-up with Atomic to help dispose of the speedy rammer PMPY, with Alex scoring another vital OOTA, before in Round Two, it met Killer, a robot with a tough name, but it was nothing compared to the seed, who flipped it OOTA so early, but Atomic gave it a bit of hassle in the Heat Final, until Black Panther Queen put it straight down the pit. The 25th seed Clawdius Decimus Murderous had just risen to greatness in E.O.T.R, before Alex ruined it through another OOTA. But it was soon to get a taste of its own medicine in the Round Five battle against surprise package, Wedginator 6.0, where they both exchanged axe blows and flipper flips, but ultimately, Black Panther Queen ended upside-down against the wall, before Wedginator sent it over!

+1>From Holland, Tough As Nails!
-1>Entered by Jeroen van der Loo
Just as hard as the name suggests! Basically just a pair of massive horizontal jaws on two thick wheels powered by 2 x 1300w motors at 24V, Tough as Nails can crush, grab and push with the greatest of ease! The 13mph speed seems to be slow, but its just right for the needs of this robot, and the 5mm Hardox construction make it a particularly challenging foe, but the CO2 mechanics for the claws are pretty exposed from the rear...

In E.O.T.R 1: Didn€™t enter.

In E.O.T.R 2: Didn€™t enter.

In E.O.T.R 3: Fell at the first hurdle after being flipped over again and again by 6th seed Wedge Devolution and eventually OOTA, but not before it nearly got rid of Infusion.

+1>From Bourne, Lincolnshire, Exertion!!
-1>Entered by AJ
No pain, no gain! Originally known as ForcePower Turbo, Exertion is one tough worker with a box-like shape and invertibility and it also has four internal wheels, each 170mm in diameter with a central hub of 7075 Aluminium. They are treaded with Asmaprene urethane rubber to provide excellent grip on all arena surfaces and are especially designed to be resistant to oil spills and other debris on the arena floor! To top it off, 5mm Hardox monocoque construction makes it near to unbreakable, and the wheels are powered by four S28-400 Magmotors, one powering each wheel. There are run at 24v off 3x 24v NiCad battery packs. This produces around 18hp of drive. 15mph top speed, and a 10mm Titanium wedge at the front that can be used to lift up other robots! The only thing that can let it down is the 1cm clearance on all sides, so a flipper will have a field day!

In E.O.T.R 1: Taken out in the first round against fellow rammers Storm 2 and Shovearound 2 - they ganged up to ram it about the arena with ease, and to beat ForcePower Turbo on a clean sweep JD 13-25-38.

In E.O.T.R 2: Did a lot better in the competition this time, when in Round One, it shoved about 9th seed Tornado and Nodachi, but it succeeded in Nodachi. In Round Two it met up with a devilish entity called The Demonic Element, and it was a challenge to fight, with a side-panel being torn in two, but soon The Demonic Element was pitted and ForcePower Turbo was through to Heat Final to meet Mr. Slave 2, who also caused damage to the side again, but once again, ForcePower pitted its enemy to win the heat! It put up a fight against its next opponent Kali, but Kali was too strong and soon ForcePower Turbo went OOTA!

In E.O.T.R 3: (SEEDED 14) Helped GBOD take down Heimlich, and Heimlich was ripped inside-out by the power of GBOD, but it met Fick Me 4-3, and Exertion shockingly lost the JD.

The flying Dutchman leaves the starting position and makes a dash for BPQ, but BPQ hits first, with assistance from Exertion! Tough As Nails collides with a BANG and the axe of the seeded BPQ starts to bash down onto the top of the FBC and Exertion drives it very hard into the arena wall! The seed now ploughs into the side of Tough As Nails and pushes it away, and now brings the axe down AND IT HITS THE REAR GAS BOTTLE! The sharpened axe with the piercing point has driven right through the solid gas bottle! Exertion just sits and watches before BQP drives Tough As Nails all the way across the arena towards the edge, and BANG! A big smash, no flip, BUT THE POWER OF THE CHARGE HAS RIPPED OUT THE GAS BOTTLE! Tough As Nails, now hobbling drives back at Exertion, which hasn€™t done much and Tough As Nails hits it side-on and pushes it into the pit release button, and now BPQ now hits in again and now pushes Tough As Nails away from Exertion and flips Tough As Nails over, but Exertion seems to be on the arena sidewall after that assault! Tough As Nails is pushes to the edge of the ring and flips Tough As Nails into a 360, but it doesn€™t quite go OOTA, but Exertion is still trapped on the sidewall, and THE AUDIENE HAVE STARTED THE COUNT!

Exertion is overworked!
BLACK PANTHER QUEEN (5) AND TOUGH AS NAILS GO THROUGH TO ROUND TWO!!!

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

+1>From Scotland, seeded #21, Turbo Tails!!
-1>Entered by Steven McGregor
Hoping this time not to go home with his Tails between his legs, the comedybot is back for another slash at the title! Tails has been given the Turbo it deserves, using 2 x C40-500 MagMotors which are super-lightweight and durable, and are capable of maximum 12hp! The armour makes it one of the toughest vapours about, using a 3.5mm Hardox monocoque construction with a 2mm layer of fur over the top! 4 wheels give utter control and agility, so it can bring the near lethal rear spinning bar powered by a LEM130 motor to give 2500rpm! At the front of the robot is a forward hinged flipper powered by 750psi pneumatics, and the arm can make a useful flipper/self-righter - but it may not self-right ALL the time.

In E.O.T.R 1: Used the bar on Mega Masher 2 in Round One, and helped Flux impale Mega Masher on the wall, allowing a way into Round Two where after a close battle with Son Of Ripper 4.0, Son Of Ripper got it near the wall and tossed it out.

In E.O.T.R 2: Disappointed its fan base, when in Round One, it got battered by T.B and tossed OOTA once more, this time by 3rd seed Y4.

In E.O.T.R 3: Finally showed what it was made of in the E.O.T.R era, when it pushed Splinter into the 13th seed Psyclonised, battering the armour of Splinter before pushing it down the pit, and then used the bar to cause some nice cuts in the disc of 29th seed Dante before shoving him down the pit as well. But in the Heat Final, Psyclonised won through by killing Tails in a 1 hit kill!

+1>From Toronto, Canada, Intrigue!!
-1>Entered by Kody Kunz
The mysteries of this robot are best kept hidden! This sickening green box with two spiked scoops, one at the front, and another at the rear, as well as an axe! The axe on this robot is a great big dirty axe powered dual 2kg CO2 containers. It can hit on both sides due to its rack-and-pinion thwacking design. The front of the axe head is nice, pointed, and Hardox-tipped for pecking into opposing bots€™ armours. The rear of the head is Terrorhurtz-style, allowing for big, heavy blows. Attached around the axe head is a small Hardox skirt that not only protects the axe from damage from the front, but also allows Intrigue to flip an opponent if it lands on the skirt. Special 4 S28-400 Magmotors motors give it power and special Titanium armourment keeps it protected, but the axe may run out of power, and then it could be in trouble.

+1>From England, Paralyzation!!
-1>Entered by Samuel Park
You€™re frozen with fear in the face of Paralyzation! It€™s a 19mph Titanium armoured box-wedge with a front mounted 19kg Spinning Drum with 10 teeth Powered by a 24V LEM-130, spins at 4600rpm, making it very powerful! 2 Magmotors S28-400 each at 24V powers 2 Wheels with a thin layer of Vulkalon rubber on them, but the drum can€™t be reversed if flipped and the 3mm ground clearance on everything except the front means it might get flipped!

The buzzing sound of Turbo Tails and Paralyzation€™s spinning weapons begins to fill the air, Kody drives out and faces Samuels€™s robot! The Scot moves out, and the charging Paralyzation thwacks into the front wedge of Intrigue, which is what Kody wanted - SLICE! The axe comes down, and the axe has sliced into the Titanium armour of Paralyzation, which is now being escorted now INTO THE BLADE OF TURBO TAILS! The sound of the bar ripping into metal is deafening to Samuel, but joy to Steven as the side armour of Paralyzation is torn open! Intrigue is free and pushes into the side of Paralyzation and slams it against the pit release button, before Turbo Tails comes in, this time with the flipper, and slams into the side of Paralyzation, flipping it up! And as Paralyzation lands over, Intrigue and Turbo Tails attack with their weapons! They back away as Paralyzation slides down, and it€™s not working! Intrigue slams the axe in, and powers the dead robot down the pit€¦OF DOOM!

Result:
Paralyzation is frozen dead still!

HEAT C
ROUND 2
Tough as Nails VS TURBO TAILS (21)

That rhymes and you know it rhymes.

Two possible methods of attack here. First, Ill zip around to the sides and hit the wheels with the spinning bar. If TANs suitably weakened by this, Ill resort to simply charging it and trying to dump it in the pit.

[joey_picus]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

*swoops in and MAGICALLY and HEARTWARMINGLY bestows Paul with the ability to write even better fights than he does already*

PREDICTIONS:
Black Panther Queen vs. Intrigue
Uh...tough one this. Itll go to the judges, and Intrigue will win on aggression or damage, or something.

TaN vs. Turbo Tails
If Tough as Nails can survive an intial hit from the bar, it could pit Tails very easily. I dont think it will though...Tails FTW.

[kodster]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Yahoo, first win for Intrigue Awesomeness, Paul.

Black Panther Queen (5) vs. Intrigue

Oh for the love of.... Eh, Ill just nip to the sides with my more controlled drive, and hack away. Perhaps I can destroy his own axe mechanism. Be aggressive, dont ever stop attacking, and take advantage of when BPQ misses a charge.

Turbo Tails (21) vs. Tough As Nails

You know, Turbo Tails bar may not be low enough to hit TAN. Im actually going to go for TAN here.

[steven_mcg]

Eye Of The Robot-Series 4

Turbo Tails is 25cm high without the bar.

According to the official RW7 stats, Tough as Nails is 37cm high.

You do the maths. :wink:

All right. Turbo Tails FTW then.
