Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls
Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls
itll start soon, trust me on that :wink:
Aaron&Steve, I heard youre updating Biatch Beater and Wedge Devo repsectively, would you like to enter the updated versions of those vapours in this tournament?
Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls
The only real edits Ive made to Wedge Devo are making it slightly smaller and ditching the longer spatula which I never use anyway, so nah, just stick with the stats youve got.
Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls
COOL, MARTIJN! Lets predict, shall we
Walk Away vs Starstorm 2
Walk Away is very damaging...but I think Starstorm can get by here.
Sir Spinalot vs Wedge Devolution
Andres first ever battle...and Im sorry to say that itll be a loss. Wedge to toss him around like nothing.
Dennis The Menace vs Achilles
Please, oh god I hope Achilles loses here, then I wont have to face him. Of course, I might not win my match so thats kinda moot.
Ill still take Danny to drum Achilles out.
Cat With Wheels vs Hoof
Too hard.
The Zenith vs GeForce 4.0
Um...damn it. Hopefully I can slip under the side of flipper and smack it over the wall. Keep an eye on it and smack it again if GeForce makes a recovery. If I fall out myself, circle the outside really fast, and then turn sharply. This will hopefully boost myself over the wall and let me fight again.
Cosmic Thunder 2 vs Y4
Y4 doesnt have a lot of area to get this flipper going, whereas Cosmic Thunder does. Alex MacWilliams to win here.
The Quaestor vs Biatch Beater
I just might go with Joey here, actually. That axe looks devastating, and the front I think would take enough punishment from whatever beater weapon Aaron is working on at the moment and throw it away.
Namie€™s Style vs Worck
Looking at Worcks stats, Im guessing the CO2 bottles are actually exposed since the diameter of the bottles themselves are too big for 13cm. Also, it doesnt state whether Worck is invertible or not. Sorry Paul. Chezza and Namies Style to advance.
Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls
His flipper blade is the only part of Y4s body that has 0mm, I believe. Since its a T-Minus shape (wheels at the front) and I have superior velocity, Ill use my better manuverability to avoid the flipper blade and get underneath him for an OOTA
Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls
Sweet! Nice to hear that Im in! Thanks Martijn!
Well I suppose I should make my predictions for Namies Style vs Worck...
Worcks vulnerabilites are around the sides of himself and the back. Oh yes, and the corners are even more vulnerable. So basically I think that if Namies Style attacks him around those areas, and then gets Worck tossed at the low walls of the arena (for 30 secs of course) she should be pretty much alright.

«GeForce 4.0 vs. The Zenith»
This tournament provides an advantage to rammers and flippers, eh? Well it just so happens GeForce is both of those. First of all I shall go for a box rush and use my wedge to slow down the shell. The thick armour and wedge shape should help me deflect its blows.
Then, drive in under The Zenith, use my wedge and pushing power to shove it accross the arena and then let rip with the flipper. This should send it sailing several feet above those bloody low walls. I shall aim to use these tactics over and over again in this fight. Stalling the spinner and then using both my ramming abilities and flipping abilities to make use of the low walls. Eventually I should be able to launch it into the pit or immobilise it on impact.
In the other matches, Im thinking Walk Away, Wedge Devo, Achilles, Cat With Wheels, Cosmic Thunder 2, Byatch Beater and Worck to all progress.

Y4S TACTICS
If Cosmic Thunder does get under me, I could simply throw myself off (and thus upside down), run away and then revert myself. And why not? After all, thats something T-Minus could do (as shown in his fight against Sunshine Lollibot). If he flips me out of the arena, do the same trick and do a MEGAFLIP and throw myself back in.
I know I, at least, can re-enter the arena. I dont think Cosmic Thunder can.
Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls
Ah, its the full skirted machine against the half-skirted machine, he has a slightly higher top speed, but those skirts are going to cause resistance. My key advantage is that I have a rear hinge flipper against Dannys top hinged flipper, but that means his front end will be lower. My aim is to attempt to get at the sides and rear trying to get him OOTA as soon as possible.
And because there is no house robots, i cant have any fun :sad:
Use the Arena to your Advantage 1 - Bloody Low Walls
Woot! The draw is up and I believe I can make good predictions
Walk Away vs Starstorm 2: Walk Away to walk forward by flipping Starstorm up and then breaking it all up!
Sir Spinalot vs Wedge Devolution: Andre may cause an upset and damage Wedge to breaking point, but more likely will be Steven to flip Sir Spinalot OOTA.
Dennis The Menace vs Achilles: The newly designed Achilles may be able to withstand the Welsh robot and allow Alex to win!
Cat With Wheels vs Hoof: The very good Cat With Wheels to flip Hoof over to win the JD.
The Zenith vs GeForce 4.0: GeForce to win, because [puts on Darth Vader voice] the force is strong within it!
Cosmic Thunder 2 vs Y4: Cosmic Thunder to give Y4 the bye-bye!
The Quaestor vs Biatch Beater: Go Joey!
Namie€™s Style vs Worck: Oh, here I go. I need to get a few things straight about Worck. The gas bottles are put in widt-ways to make them fit, so they dont stick out. What Im doing is charging diagonally at the front of Namies Style, as that way, whatll happen is Ill hit the opponent with a point of my wedge, making SURE Ill get under, and once shes on top of Worck, my barbs on the wedge are making sure she wont go away from me. I have both the more push behind my flipper and the more power, and the more flips, so just flip it about! If I get her near the arena wall, hen go for the OOTA.

Sorry Paul, but I just stated that the dimensions of 5kg CO2 bottles just will not fit in a 13cm high machine. Most are over 20cm in diameter. If the diameter of a CO2 is less than 13cm, it will be over 70cm in length, which is also further than your own robot. Mind fixing up your stats? :P
