, nothing out of it was impossible though 
. Cat With Wheels is yer basic Firestorm-style 2WD flipper, with the added bonus of a pair of skirts of course. . Hoof comes with some extras, among which is flipper full of lead particles to keep that weapon closer to the ground . ) and mr. Sheppard also knows SOR and Hoof DO share some similarities, so Dave€™s looking to get rid of Cat asap. Unlucky for Dave, Danny has other plans. The two have been driving around each other for a while now both looking to get that vital flip in, and Cat retreats! Danny knows driving around each other won€™t cut it and decides to show off his superior speed and gains distance fast! Hoof eagerly gives chase, and Cat makes a U-turn to confront €œone of the best songs of last years€ (as Dave tolde me). Hoof proofs to be the slightly more controlled though€¦ it turns around, gets that wedge against Cat€™s side skirt, the lead pumps it under with ease€¦ . That flipper has some nice power behind it, but so does Cat€™s! With ease, and before Hoof comes in to get some more of it! The self-righting move of the wheeled mammal brought it right next to Hoof and Cat comes in! First the wedge hits that skirt (which only covers half Hoof€™s side), but then Cat manages to surpass the skirt and to slam its way underneath that unprotect area of Hoof. Dave does NOT want to take the risk of being pushed around and attempts to activate his own flipper to get off, just as Cat uses its own flipper. ), but the power behind coupled with a rounded back makes for a very effective way to self-right, and so Hoof does :wink:. Hoof turns around, Cat turns around, and there they stand facing each other wedge-to-wedge. There we are, 2 flips later both bots stand looking at each other like nothing happened . Hoof yet again shows superior control though when he attacks Cats front corner, and he succeeds in doing so!
. Thought the only spinners that could flip robot were VERTICAL spinners? Then think again! The Zenith is a full body spinner that hits you with wedges rather then teeth, wedges that go around at 1750 rpm! That HAS to make an impact! . Alex M and W entered a very low skirted wedge with transparent Hardox for an armour 
. Very creative Alex :wink:. . Y4 turns away and moves clear from danger. Chris presses a mighty red button on his controller and sends T-Minus high into the air and back onto the ground in a stylish motion. Cosmic Thunder is still right behind it, but the 2 wheel driven Y4 isn€™t all that unmanoeuvrable itself and drives around the side of Cosmic Thunder and clean underneath Cosmic Thunder€™s side skirt that oddly leaves 0.5 mm GC underneath it€¦ . The Thunder falls down and bounces towards the wall, but stays within the boundaries of my arena. Y4 gives chase, but Cosmic Thunder is just as invertible as Y4 and drives away to self-right and fight another day. Cosmic Thunder turns around, and the two battling bots face wedge-to-wedge. Cosmic Thunder displays its superior manoeuvrability and finds its way under Y4! Alex takes Y4 a few metres forwards this time rather than flipping it immediately. Y4 tries to move off the wedge by activating its own flipper, but Alex is quick with the controls€¦ . Chris uses his good ol€™ €œflip yerself and get out of danger€Â-tactic again, and comes down right next to Cosmic Thunder. The agile cosmic vapour however is getting up to steam and turns around (still in reverse), to continue its rambot-imitation, now into the direction of the pit! Before Y4 can use its trick again, Cosmic Thunder improvises and does a front-hinged flipper imitation. Y4 is slammed towards the wall€¦ and narrowly over, and into the pit!
. An axebot in this tournament might see out of place, but Joey thought well of his entry. Other than having an outstanding axe this robot carries the feature of being able to lower its body until the point where no flipper can ever get under it. This machine also makes a good rambot, and there€™s nothing wrong with that. . Biatch Beater is an invertible box with a big and oddly shaped €œdrum€Â, with an odd weight distribution that makes the drum capable of knocking vapours away easily. ) activates its axe! . Not only has The Quaestor been invert TWICE, I might also notice the fact that its Hardox starts showing some dents . Biatch Beater is still spinning swiftly, the machine comes in, and the wall is getting nearer mind you€¦ . In order to get back into the arena Joey raises his GC, but Biatch Beater chooses its position so that IF The Quaestor gets back in, he€™ll receive a good clobbering . Its body raised, The Quaestor chooses to drive around the outside of the arena and get back in somewhere where Biatch Beater can€™t reach him. The Beater gives chase, but The Quaestor€™s speed is superior. After a few metres, The Quaestor sharply turns around€¦
. Namie could run inverted if it wishes to, which is a pre in a competition ruled by flippers. . Paul entered one of the few front-hined flippers in this tournament, how successful will he be?
