Roboteers, Stand By€¦!

Booth 1: Cat with Wheels
Booth 2: YACATR

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!

Bang a gong, we are on! YACATR immediately spins up to full speed ahead. But now, Cat with Wheels slams into YACATR with all its might!
CRASH!!!!!!
WOAH!!! That sends both bots flying, and Cat with Wheels loses some pieces of its armour! Now then, YACATR immediately spins up again, and€¦
CRASH!!!!!!!
WOAH-HO! That hit sent another chunks of armour flying! Now, Cat with Wheels goes up to YACATR again, and now, it€™s trying to flip it over, and fires its flipper!
FLIP!!!
That didn€™t really flip YACATR but just sort of lifted it up. Anyway, now YACATR spins up, and€¦
KERRASH!
€¦nice piece of polycarbonate from the arena wall, AJ, but we€™ll have words with you later. Now YACATR hits the pit button, and spins up again, and strikes the front of Cat with Wheels in FULL GYROSCOPIC SPEED!!! Cat with Wheels tries to get away but€¦ guess what happens. :wink:
CRASH!!!!!!!
WOAH! That hit sent another bit of titanium flying off, and€¦ wait, what€™s that smoke? OH! The Co2 tank has ruptured! Now, Cat with Wheels doesn€™t seem to move, and it€™s been immobilized!
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦ 7€¦ 6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦ 3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ OUT!!!!
Cat with Wheels is out! Now, finally it is nudged down the hole by YACATR. BOOM!

CEASE!

Cat with Wheels is not ferocious at all.

[samuel3764]

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

Well, what do ya know? I wrote the fights earlier than I expected. =P

Wedge Devo VS YACATR

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome€¦

Wedge Devolution!!

A nice flipper, respected in other tournies like ROBOT SMASH!, and Eye-of-the-Robot.

Yet Another Cut Above the Rest!

A gigantic flywheel-bot, capable of tearing the crap out of people. But how will it fare here, I wonder?

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Wedge Devo
Booth 2: YACATR

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

And we€™re off! Wedge Devo, first to move, has got a grip on YACATR and€¦
FLIP!
Goodness me, that€™s a very good attack there. Now, YACATR, on its back, spins up, and it smashes the side of Wedge Devo!
CRASH!!!
OHH!!!!! The side skirt rips off, and now, Wedge Devo opens the pit! YACATR spins up again and€¦
CRASH!!!!
OH!!! There€™s another side skirt ripping off! But now, Wedge Devo flips over YACATR and€¦
FLIP!!
WOAH! YACATR soars almost over the fence, and this is a nice and even battle so far. Now, YACATR spins up into FSA mode, and smacks into the rear of Wedge Devo!
CRASH!!!!
HO-HO! That sent Wedge Devo spinning out of control, and there€™s a huge scratch in the armour! Anyway, Wedge Devo just flips over the flywheel-bot once again!
FLIP!!
WOAH! YACATR soars again! Now, YACATR spins up, and€¦
CRASH!!!!
OHHHHH!!!!!!!! YACATR shoves the disc right into the rear end again, and there€™s another big scratch in the armour! Now then, YACATR spins up again, but rides up Wedge Devo€™s wedge and€¦
FLIP!!!
WOAH!!!! YACATR soars but not over the fence! That is really a close call for AJ, there. We€™re looking at 2 minutes into the fight, but both robots are still duking it out! Wedge Devo pushes the flywheel-bot into the wall!
SLAM!!
Now, YACATR spins up again, and keeps barging into the rear end!
CRASH!!!!!
OH-HO!! The back armour takes another brutal punishment, and there€™s a small gash in the armour! But now, time is running out.
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦
FLIP!
WOAH-HO! That sent YACATR almost over and out!
7€¦ 6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦ 3€¦
But now, Wedge Devo almost droves into the pit and its wheels are stuck on the edge of it!
2€¦ 1€¦

CEASE!

Quite a fantastic battle that was! Let€™s see how the judges think!

JD: Wedge Devo / YACATR
Style: 4/5 / 1/5

Control: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5

[Guest]

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

I dont care how crap Pauls machine is, Humdrum is going out. XD

How come your being so nice to Paul Kody?

I agree with Kodys predictions.
Heat Winner: Any other time Id say BTR, but in this tourney probably Darkestar or Sakura :P

[samuel3764]

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

Bad news guys...
I am so sorry, but my laptop crashed. It might take a while to write these fights... :sad:

[kodster]

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

So where are you typing from then?

[samuel3764]

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

i borrowed a friends laptop.

[kodster]

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

...okay...

[samuel3764]

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

From Team Bored. Sakura!

Taking a leaf out of Typhoon 2, this bot€™s spinner is powered by 2 LEM-130€™s, and this spins at 1500 RPM and deals out 90 to 100 kJ. There are holes drilled in the shell and pink confetti comes out of there. However, the base armour doesn€™t look too strong.

From Team Doomforall, Darkestar!

Darkestar is a tracked machine with a 1500RPM spinning flywheel for a weapon. It can also run both ways up€¦ but it€™s got exposed tracks and a vertical spinning weapon can damage the drive belt easily€¦

From Team Braveheart, Split Decision!

Split Decision is the 4th clusterbot in this series. It€™s got a forward hinged flipper, powered by gas (but it€™s mostly used as a srimech). Nevertheless, the weight disadvantage is severe, and it can be easily destroyed or flipped.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Sakura, Darkestar
Booth 2: Split Decision

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!

And they€™re off! Now, both of the spinning weapons are up to full speed ahead, and For is immediately going for Sakura, but€¦
CRASH!!!!!!!!
WOAHHH!!!!!!! That sent For flying across the arena, there! Now Against and Darkestar charge at each other!!!!!
CRASH!!!!
POUNDED. That€™s all I can say. Darkestar€™s blade has sliced right into the titanium armour of Against. Now then, For is driving in circles, and now, Sakura has got another hit in the 7mm titanium armour!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!!!!!!!!! The titanium takes another punishment, and now For stops moving! Against is still moving, however€¦ only just. However, Sakura spins up again, and smashes into against!
CRASH!!!!!!!
OH!!!! Against is getting smashed again! Sakura just smashes into the armour of Against and the internals show themselves at last! There€™s a battery hanging out of Against€¦ and it€™s safe to say this match is done. The countdown is on!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1€¦

CEASE!

Split Decision gets split up into pieces.
Sakura and Darkestar go through!

[samuel3764]

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

I will post up the next fight shortly.

[samuel3764]

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

Sam Park: Welcome back to RoboBash, and we€™ll start off with our 2nd fight of the evening. 3 robots go in, but only 2 comes out alive.

From Team Humdrum, Humdrum!

A good machine, with a full body spinner, and 2 maces attached to it. However, there doesn€™t seem to be a srimech attached to it and that vulnerable removable failsafe can be easily destroyed€¦

From Team Insanity, Autoism!

Autoism is an insane lifting crusher ala Big Nipper, and it€™s got pliars (what€™s a pliar?) instead of claws. It€™s also quick and has tough armour all around. However, those wheels could easily be targeted by crushers and axes.

From Team Varying Every Day, Back to Rock!

Back to Rock has a lifter powered by an LEM-130, and a saw powered by an S28-150. It€™s currently a series semi-finallist in Robot SMASH!. However, the titanium doesn€™t look too strong, and it€™s not as agile as 4WD or 2WD robots. Will he truly rock you?

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Humdrum, Autoism
Booth 2: Back to Rock

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!

Humdrum immediately starts spinning up, and now€¦ Back to Rock and Autoism comes out, and smacks into the already spun up shell! Autoism is thrown a bit, but no damage is caused, thankfully. Anyway, Back to Rock comes in now, and lifts Humdrum up€¦ and sparks are flying as Back to Rock€™s saw blade rips the armour of Humdrum. Now, Back to Rock lets go, and Autoism presses the pit button immediately, and Humdrum just spins up again, and goes straight to Back to Rock!
SMACK!
That didn€™t cause any damage at all, except flinging Back to Rock a little. Now Autoism goes in and clamps Humdrum, and drags it into the hammers!
WHAM! BAM!
OH!!!! Humdrum is getting smashed here! Now, that failsafe is very vulnerable, and€¦ if the hammer knocks out the link,
WHAM!!
€¦well, which it just did€¦ it€™s done for! Humdrum is no more, and Back to Rock and Autoism comes in for the kill! Autoism pushes Humdrum into the saws! BZZT! Ah, we love the sparks, yes we do. Now, Back to Rock lifts up Humdrum, and the close-up camera shows that Humdrum€™s tyres have been cut up by the arena saws! Martijn thinks he has had enough of this, and so he slowly begins to push Humdrum into the darkness. BOOM!

CEASE!

Humdrum can say hello to Satan for all we care!
Autoism and Back to Rock go through!

[samuel3764]

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

Laura (Pit Reporter ): (Comes up to Paul & Autoism) Right, the draw has been drawn. Do you know who you€™re up against?
Paul: No. (Chuckles)
Laura: (Laughs) It€™s Sakura.
Paul: Oooh, it€™ll be pretty tough to bear with, but I€™ll try to wrap my pliars around Sakura and pit it.
Laura: You think you can do it?
Paul: Probably, but you never know what will happen out there.
Laura: Well, Good luck out there.
Paul: Thanks.


Laura: And here€™s Frank Goacher with the beautiful and magnificent Sakura! So, your opponent for this battle... Autoism.
Frank: Well, he€™s got pretty thick armour, and a strong chassis, so my spinning shell doesn€™t look like it will go through it.
Laura: And?
Frank: €¦ and I guess the only way to beat him is to shock kill him, or maybe tear his weapon off.
Laura: Well then, I wish you good luck.
Frank: Thank you.
Laura: So, it looks like these teams are both confident. Back to you, Sam.

Sam Park: So, we€™ve passed the easy stuff, but now, it€™s the calm before the storm. Bring on Round 2!

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome€¦

SAKURA!!

A cone shaped machine, capable of dishing out a whopping 90 to 100 kJ. Frank Goacher is looking to shock kill his opponent, as he said.

AUTOISM!!

A very nicely made bot, with a crushing lifter, and a nasty attitude. Can it stand up to the deadly and dangerous Sakura?

Roboteers, Stand By€¦!

Booth 1: Sakura
Booth 2: Autoism

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Here we go, now. Sakura is immediately spinning up, and Autoism immediately presses the pit button. Now Sakura is crashing into Autoism!
CRASH!!!
Not a bad hit there! It bends the side skirt a bit, but not too much damage is going on here. Now, Sakura spins up to full speed and€¦ what the€¦ pink confetti? Paul doesn€™t like that ONE BIT! So, he drives Autoism front-first into Sakura. What€™s going to happen? Guess.
CRASH!!!!!
That attack bends the weapon a little, but it€™s still able to grab a tight hold of Sakura, and now€¦ Paul thinks it€™s time for some saw-time! Autoism carries Sakura into the saws! BZZT!! Ah, how I love a good ol€™ shower of sparks. Now, Autoism lets go, and now€¦
CRASH!!!!
Sakura scratches the side armour of Autoism, nothing else. Autoism is okay, and it just smashes into Sakura again!
SMASH!!!!
That didn€™t cause much damage, just a itty-bitty scratch again. Now, this is a very good battle so far€¦
CRASH!!!
Sakura, what are you doing?! Sakura just smashes into the polycarbonate wall, and takes a chunk of polycarbonate out of it! Now then, Sakura spins up again, and Frank looks a bit nervous. Autoism dances around the arena€¦ and runs into Sakura, front-first AGAIN!
CRASH!!!
Autoism takes very little damage, even after that full-speed hit by Sakura! Now, Sakura is spinning its body up to its maximum potential.
CRASH!!!!
Autoism collides again with Sakura, and will this go to a judge€™s decision, I wonder? With less than 13 seconds remaining, I€™ve got a feeling it would.
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦ 7€¦
CRASH!!
WOAH!! A very teeny-weeny piece of armour flies off from Autoism, courtesy of Sakura€™s spinning shell€¦
6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦
Autoism drives into Sakura but time runs out€¦
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦

CEASE!

JUDGES, I WANT YOU TO DECIDE€¦ WHO GOES OUT!

JD: Sakura / Autoism
Style: 3/5 / 2/5
Control: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Damage: 4/5 / 1/5
Aggression: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Total Score: 11.9/20 / 8.1/20

Autoism really needs to calm down.
Sakura goes through to the Heat L Final!
