My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

Really, you dont have type up fights when your connection is running. I do lots of offline fights and then post them when Im online, even if its for like 5 minutes.

Hopefully you have the stats saved onto your computer?

My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

Right. Here I go againâ‚¬Â¦

Nidhogg VS SoR

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Nidhogg
Booth 2: SoR

3â‚¬Â¦ 2â‚¬Â¦ 1â‚¬Â¦ ACTIVATE!

SoR has to watch those tyres. They are highly exposed for Nidhoggâ‚¬â„¢s razor-sharp claw, but now, SoR gets under the rear end, and flips Nidhogg over!
FLIP!
That flip sent Nidhogg 2 feet up into the air and tumbling down back onto its wheels! Now, SoR gets its bar spun up, but Nidhogg has a grip on SoR and drags it towards the kill-saws! BZZT! Sparks are flying, and the audience loves it! No damage is caused to SoR from the crusher whatsoever. Now, Nidhogg lets go of SoR. Bad idea. SoR gets underneath again andâ‚¬Â¦
FA-LIP!
WOAH! Nidhogg soars again! Now, Nidhogg self-rights, and it has a grip on SoR again, and this time, it sends SoR into the hammers, but SoR somehow escapes! Now, getting the bar spun up, and it hits Nidhogg in the side!
CRASH!!
Nothing but a medium-size scratch is given to Nidhogg. Weâ‚¬â„¢re looking at a minute and a half into the fight, but both bots are still duking it out! The bar of SoR spins up again, and scratches the other side of Nidhogg!
CRASH!!!
Now, SoR presses the pit button, but Nidhogg clamps SoR again, and lets go. SoR gets underneath the rear again, andâ‚¬Â¦
FLIP!
That didnâ‚¬â„¢t flip Nidhogg so high, but now, Nidhogg self-rights! Nidhoggâ‚¬â„¢s ground clearence gets under AJâ‚¬â„¢s machine, and now, it pushes SoR into the wall!
WHAM!
AJ gets slammed into the wall, but time is running outâ‚¬Â¦
10, 9, 8â‚¬Â¦
AJ gets underneath again, andâ‚¬Â¦
FA-LIP!
WOAH! That sent Nidhogg nearly in the pit, and it tries escaping! Its wheels get stuck!
7â‚¬Â¦ 6â‚¬Â¦ 5â‚¬Â¦ 4â‚¬Â¦
Nidhogg tries to escape once more, but failsâ‚¬Â¦
3â‚¬Â¦ 2â‚¬Â¦ 1â‚¬Â¦

CEASE!

Ah, not lookinâ‚¬â„¢ good for the Robot Smash runner-up. Itâ‚¬â„¢s all up to the judges, though..

JD: Nidhogg / SoR
Style: 3/5 / 2/5
Damage: 2/5 / 3/5
Control: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Aggression: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Total Score: 9.8/20 / 10.2/20

OOH! That was a close one, but Nidhogg is eliminated by 0.4 points!
SoR goes through to the Heat J Final!

**samuel3764** · 15 August 2008, 22:06

My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

What the heck, lets finish this!

Turbulence VS SoR

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Turbulence
Booth 2: SoR

3â‚¬Â¦ 2â‚¬Â¦ 1â‚¬Â¦ ACTIVATE!

SoR is immediately getting that lethal bar to spin up, and now, Turbulence tries to get under the rear, but SoR scratches the flipper!
CRASH!
Now Turbulence is waiting for the perfect moment to kill SoR, and it goes in for the kill!
FLIP!
OH! SoR is launched 7 feet high up in the air! But now, SoR self-rights, and gets its blade up to speed again! Now, SoR hits the rear end with the bar!
CRASH!!!!
That didnâ‚¬â„¢t leave anything but a scratch. SoR backs into the pit button. The pit yawns open. Turbulence backs off and zoooooms into SoR and flips it!
FLIP!
WOAH! That is a hell of a flip! Now, AJ is looking worried, and now it spins its bar up to speed, andâ‚¬Â¦
CRASH!!
WOAH-HO! That leaves a small gash on the back there, but now, Turbulence immediately fights back with some of its own power!
FLIP!!
WOAH!!! That sends AJâ‚¬â„¢s machine 8 feet up in the air, and back into the arena with a loud thump! Now, AJ is peeved, and canâ‚¬â„¢t take this anymore, so he drives SoR right into Turbulence and gets under the back! OH NO! Turbulence is now being pushed towards the pitâ‚¬Â¦ andâ‚¬Â¦
FLIP!
BOOM! Turbulence is no more! Itâ‚¬â„¢s in the pit... and there you have it. Your winner for Heat J: SoR!

Turbulence takes a long way to walk home.

SoR Hex goes through to the Series Semi-Finals!

My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

Heat K
Wedge Devolution VS Cat with Wheels VS Vlad
Mega Masher VS No Objections VS Yet Another Cut Above the Rest

Tactix, Predictions, Comments, and a noogie please.

**kodster** · 15 August 2008, 22:13

My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

*gives Martyn a noogie*

Wedge Devolution vs. Cat with Wheels vs. Vlad the Impaler

Regardless of which version it is, Vlad is going out.

Mega Masher 2 vs. No Objections vs. Yet Another Cut Above the Rest

No Objections out. I really like the design of Joeys machine, but somehow I dont think its suited that well for combat.

**samuel3764** · 18 August 2008, 21:15

My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

To hell with it.

From Team Braveheart, Wedge Devo!

Wedge Devo AKA Wedge Devolution is one of the most successful robots in Steve McGregorâ‚¬â„¢s team. Itâ‚¬â„¢s got a nasty high-pressure CO2 flipper, which is able to give out 34 flips! However, it will run out of flips.

From Team Iron Diamond, Cat with Wheels!

Cat with Wheels is a low wedge with sloped sides, and it has a nice flipper, powered by 2 rams at 500PSI. However, Iâ‚¬â„¢m not a fan of that titanium armour and those nasty spinners can tear it apart.

From Team Vladmeisters, Vlad the Impaler!

Vlad the Impaler is a 2-Time Battlebot Champion, and a 1-time runner up for Battlebots. Itâ‚¬â„¢s got a wicked forklift powered by gas, but its self-righting piston can be unreliable.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Wedge Devo, Cat With Wheels
Booth 2: Vlad

3, 2, 1, ACTIVATE!

Vlad immediately zooms towards Wedge Devo, and at the same time, Wedge Devo immediately zooms towards Vlad, gets under, and flips it!
FLIP!!
WOAH!! Vlad soars almost over the fence, and if that really happened, that wouldâ‚¬â„¢ve been the quickest match in RoboBash yet! Now, Vlad self-rights, but Cat with Wheels comes in and flips Vlad over again!
FLIP!!!
OH!!! Vlad just soars 12 feet into the air and comes back down with a loud thud! Now, Vlad self-rights, but Wedge Devo just zooms in again, gets under Vlad and CARRIES IT TO THE WALL!!!
FA-LIP!!!
And after just 21 seconds, Wedge Devo ejects Vlad over and out of the arena!!!

CEASE!

Vlad the Impaler gets impaled on the camera tracks.
Wedge Devo and Cat with Wheels go through!

**samuel3764** · 21 August 2008, 04:22

My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

If Im going to write another fight, Im going to puke. Just kidding.

From Team Dinowarrior, Mega Masher!

Mega Masher is going to mash you like mashed potatoes if you donâ‚¬â„¢t run away.

A Minion-type clone, this brilliant machine has a wedge on the front, a self-righting bar on the side and a disc on the back spinning at 2000RPM. Its top speed is only 12 mph, though.

From Team Chevron, No Objections!

No Objections has got a stay-in-place spinner, and an actuated lifter. Possibly overweight, but this looks like a very original design.

From Team Unknown, Yet Another Cut Above the Rest!

YACATR will cut you up like apples if you dont run away. This monster has a huge spinner that spins very fast (uhâ‚¬Â¦ just how many RPMs, AJ? :wink

, made out of titanium. Itâ‚¬â„¢s spun using a single LEM-200, and the robot is built in a way that it canâ‚¬â„¢t be beached. But, its pushing power is not the best by a long shot.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Mega Masher, No Objections
Booth 2: YACATR

3â‚¬Â¦ 2â‚¬Â¦ 1â‚¬Â¦ ACTIVATE!!

No Objections immediately going for that pit release button, and YACATR spins up to speed! Mega Masher goes for No Objections, but now, No Objections lifts Mega Masher up, and DRAGS IT TO YACATR!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
YIPE! That took a whole side skirt clean off! Mega Masher gets away, and now, it drives its disc into No Objections!
CRASH!!!
Nothing but a small gash is left in No Objections. Now, YACATR immediately zooms away and crashes into Mega Masher!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!!! Thatâ‚¬â„¢sâ‚¬Â¦ whoa. YACATR took another side skirt out, and Mega Masherâ‚¬Â¦ uhâ‚¬Â¦ Mega Masher, donâ‚¬â„¢t you know that a huge flywheel is about to hit you with a force of a jackhammer?

Now, Mega Masher is not movingâ‚¬Â¦ itâ‚¬â„¢s been completely stunned by the attack AJ gave to it, but its disc has somehow gotten up to full speed. Now, YACATR just lines its disc up with Mega Masherâ‚¬â„¢s disc, and with perfect synchronization, YACATR STRIKES THE VERTICAL DISC, IN A MAD VERTICAL VS HORIZONTAL SHOWDOWN!!!!!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
OHMYGAWWWWWWWWD!!!!!!!! THAT HIT IS MONUMENTAL!!!!!!! It sent both bots flying, but Mega Masher is on its back, but is not able to move, nor self-right. No Objections crashes into Mega Masher, and sends it near the pit. Now YACATR nudges Chrisâ‚¬â„¢s machine into the pit, andâ‚¬Â¦ BOOM! See ya later, Chris.

Mega Masher gets mashed like nobodyâ‚¬â„¢s business.

No Objections and YACATR go through!

**samuel3764** · 22 August 2008, 20:52

My first REAL tournament... ROBOBASH!!!!

Wedge Devo VS No Objections

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Wedge Devo
Booth 2: No Objections

3â‚¬Â¦ 2â‚¬Â¦ 1â‚¬Â¦ ACTIVATE!!

Wedge Devo, first to move, is waiting for No Objections. Now, Wedge Devo gets under the back of No Objections effectively!
FLIP!
That did not flip No Objections so high, maybe 3 or 4 feet up. Now, No Objections is on its back. No Objections immediately self-rights, and starts spinning, and Wedge Devolution crashes into it!
CRASH!
WOAH! Nice attack there by No Objections. It sent a side skirt flying off of Wedge Devo! But now Wedge Devo gets underneath again, and flips No Objections over!
FLIP!!
WOAH!! Now thatâ‚¬â„¢s a big flip! Wedge Devo flips No Objections 9 feet up in the airâ‚¬Â¦ and ironically, it doesnâ‚¬â„¢t go over the fenceâ‚¬Â¦ but now, Wedge Devo is being pushed by No Objectionsâ‚¬Â¦
SLAM!
â‚¬Â¦STRAIGHT INTO THE WALL!!!! Now, Steve looks frustrated, and gets underneath No Objections again, carries it to the wall, and pushes the flipper button!
FA-LIP!!!
â‚¬Â¦ and No Objections lands on the camera tracks in under 55 seconds!!!!

CEASE!

No Objections canâ‚¬â„¢t object with getting tossed onto the camera tracks.
Wedge Devo goes through to the Heat K Final!
