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

(In the pits...)
Laura: Well, Mr. Jackson, the heat final is near. You are up against E Clawdius Unum!
AJ: Oh, man! (Chuckles) Well, hes hard to get under from the sides and the front, so Ill try to get him around the back.
Laura: Are you worried?
AJ: Yeah, Im worried a little, but Ill do my best.
Laura: Good luck.
AJ: Thank you.

Laura: Well, Steve, youve got your opponent worried.
Steve: ... and who might my opponent be?
Laura: GeForce.
Steve: Well, AJ beat my Killotine, so Ill try to get revenge by beating him, and since I already beat GeForce with the same machine, it might happen again.
Laura: ...and what would your tactics be?
Steve: Keep away from the front and dont let him flip or get under me, grab hold of him, and pit. It couldnt be any easier.
Laura: Right then, good luck.
Steve: Thanks.

Dan OHagan: So, this brings us to our Heat N Final, GeForce and Clawdius, and these robots have fought before. Probably going to be a catfight of sorts, eh, Sam?
Sam: Thats right, Dan, GeForce has got a very powerful flipper, which we have seen in Dual Duels and other tournaments as such, but Clawdius is the runner up of Crash and Burn 1, and it actually beat GeForce in Mechanical Noise Series 1.
OHagan: Yes, but Clawdius DID get beaten by a powerful flipper, Liar in AJWars, and thats why I think GeForce will get its vengeance. What do you think?
Sam: I figure history will repeat itself, and Clawdius will beat GeForce again and win this heat. Anyway, weve reached the mother of all battles, the HEAT FINAL!

(HEAT FINAL!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...

GEFORCE!!!

E CLAWDIUS UNUM!!!

Roboteers, Stand By...!

Booth 1: GeForce
Booth 2: E Clawdius Unum

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

So, these robots have fought before in Mechanical Noise 1. Clawdius won that battle, and look at this! Clawdius gets underneath the sides, and immediately gets that beak down! Will history repeat itself? Now, GeForce gets away, and gets under the rear end!
FLIP!
...but Clawdius is quick to get up, and now Clawdius gets under again and crumples down! There is a large dent in the armour of GeForce, and now, GeForce gets away, and charges at Clawdius, and in reponse, Clawdius backs up and presses the pit button. The pit goes down, and now... GeForce puts its front to use and flips Clawdius a second time!
FLIP!
...and again, Clawdius self rights quickly! Now, coming in for the kill on GeForce, and it sinks its beak right into the flipper! GeForce gets away now, and its a good thing Clawdius didnt puncture the CO2 canister. Now, Clawdius making a second attempt on grabbing hold of GeForce, and GeForce turns, and slides the flipper into the rear end, carries it to the wall and Clawdius gets flipped again by GeForce!
FLIP!
AHH...! Not high enough! Clawdius bounces off the wall, and tumbles onto its side! Good self-righting there by Clawdius again, now... Clawdius sinks its beak into the armour of GeForce, and GeForce gets away again. GeForce and Clawdius charges at each other, but GeForce accidently gets its flipper BEFORE Clawdius gets on it and leaves the CO2 tank exposed! Clawdius somehow gets under, and penetrates directly into the flipper! Whoa, you dont want to be in this situation, GeForce, get out of there...
BANG!
...too late. That attack from Clawdius punctures the CO2 tank, and now, GeForce has become weaponless! Anyway, GeForce gets away, and Clawdius and GeForce still fighting it out, and Clawdius charges at GeForces side! AJ tries to get away, but Clawdius gets under, and snags a wheel hole with the barbs! Clawdius gets the beak into play, and without missing a beat, it goes directly for the pit! GeForce cant get away, and before AJ knows it, GeForce slides off the wedge and plummets into the hazard striped abyss! BOOM! Well done to Steve for winning his 2nd heat!

CEASE!

GeForce plummets into nothing, like a giant roller coaster.
E Clawdius Unum goes through to the Series Semi-Finals!

(End Interview)
Sam: Well, you were in control most of the time.
AJ: Yeah, but I guess I have to accept it.
Sam: What went wrong there?
AJ: When we were charging at each other, I accidently fired the flipper BEFORE he went on it, so I think that led to my downfall. I think I shouldve OOTAed him when I carried him to the wall.
Sam: You going to come back?
AJ: Oh yeah, next year Ge5orce is going to come.
Sam: All right, everyone, please lets hear it for GeForce!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Steve, you did fantastic out there!
Steve: Thank you, I think so as well.
Sam: GeForce did get you once, I thought you were done!
Steve: I was pretty worried too, but then again, I got my revenge from the Axeon VS Killotine battle. :wink:
Sam: So, do you think you can go all the way like you did in Crash and Burn 1?
Steve: Deffo.
Sam: All right, thats what we like to hear! Everyone, please go ballistic for E CLAWDIUS UNUM!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well, the Clawdius legend lives on, as E Clawdius Unum reigns in this heat... and for everyone here, Im Sam Park. Good evening, everyone.
(CROWD CHEERS MORE, Sam, Steve and AJ shake hands with each other)

Tactics, Predictions, Comments, and a taco from Taco Bell please.

[joey_picus]

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

...Radioactive? I forgot Id actually created you tbh :P

Tactics are to drive into things and hope that I can avoid other things. Unless Ive previously stated things that contradict those things...

[kodster]

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

Actually, I see quite a bit of improvement. Very good battle Samuel.

Heat O
Liar 2 vs Super Gore Evo vs Radioactive

Open pit, grab something and throw it in.

Axe-O-Lotl vs Dervish / vs Turbo Tails

Dervish through for sure, Axe-O-Lotl maybe following him through.

[samuel3764]

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

You think I cant start a heat THIS quickly?! Just watch!
* * * *
Sam Park: Ah, its that time of week again. The semi-finals are getting ever so close, and so far there have been 14 winners, whos going to fill up the remaining two spots? Six new robots are here to fight it out for the title! ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?!!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: All right, LET THE WAAAAAAARRRS BEGIN!!!!

(BATTLE 1!)

From Enschede, Holland, Liar 2!

This robot is like a Wheely Big Cheese on Steroids. A CO2 powered flipper is the main weapon here, and the spikes on the sides makes it a thwackbot. Weakness? The exposed wheels, what else?

From Toronto, Ontario, Super Gore Evo!

Yes, Super Gore is built by the brilliant man himself, Kody Kunz. This tracked brute has a Kan-Opener style set of claws, and tracks that are extremely hard to break. However, tracks are tracks, and they could be exposed.

From Pontefract, in Yorkshire, Radioactive!

Radioactive is a lightweight robot with a box-wedge design, and with two hardened steel spikes on the back. Its very manueverable, but that severe weight disadvantage might cause its downfall.

Roboteers, Stand By...

Booth 1: Liar, Super Gore Evo
Booth 2: Radioactive

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

Here we go, with Liar starting to spin, and Radioactive drives into it, head on!
WHACK!!
That spun Radioactive away, and Super Gore Evo comes in, and pushes Radioactive into the saws!
BZZT!
Ah, sparks fly. Lovely stuff. Now, Super Gore Evo presses the pit button, and crashes into Radioactive again, and pushes it into the wall. Oof. That mustve hurt. Now, Radioactive drives away, but Liar comes in, and gets under the rear end!
FLIP!!
OHH GOODNESS ME!!! Radioactive is sent 21 feet high into the air and comes back down with a thud! Thanks to the shock proofing, its just managing to hold on. The bad news is that Radioactive is on its back, rendering the wedge useless. Now, Super Gore just bumps into Radioactive, and pushes it into the wall again!
WHAM!
Radioactive slams into the wall, but escapes again, and slams into Super Gores front, but is not able to push it around. Now, Liar comes out of nowhere, and crashes their party! Radioactive is being carried towards the wall!
FLIP!!
Holy flying Radioactive! Its out! Radioactive gets up 20 feet up into the air, and out! Now, Super Gore Evo and Liar begins to charge at each other, but....

CEASE!

Radioactive turns to radioactive waste.
Liar and Super Gore Evo go through!

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

Sam: Welcome back to RoboBash, where we are about to put another three victims in the battlefield!

(BATTLE 2!!!)

From Onehouse, Suffolk, Axe-O-Lotl!

Axe-O-Lotl is a monster of a competitor. Its massive axe comes down with a force of a jackhammer, and its shaped like Commengetorix so it cant get stuck on its side, but that 3mm steel armour looks a bit frail, and that 2mm ground clearence might hinder the 20mph top speed... what do you think?

From Methyr Tydfil, Wales, Dervish /!

Dervish has returned to the warzone with a nasty full body drum weapon which can destroy all matters of armour. (All matters of armour? Im not so sure about that ) and with a nice and sturdy Aluminium Boron Carbite armour, this robot is sure to give a massive punch to the opponents, but as usual, the wheels are exposed...

From Glasgow, Scotland, Turbo Tails!

Sonics partner goes on steroids! Turbo Tails is a nice box shape with a front flipper, and a rear Fluffy style spinning weapon and you dont want to touch those blades! *Shudders* Its also got a 3.5mm hardox armour and nice magmotor drive with 16mph speed, so it can also push well. HOWEVER, the whole robot is covered in fur! I smell burning...

Roboteers, Stand By...!

Booth 1: Axe-O-Lotl
Booth 2: Dervish, Turbo Tails

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

Turbo Tails and Dervish immediately spins up to full speed, and immediately, look at this! Turbo Tails gets under the 2mm ground clearence of Axe-O-Lotl with the front wedge and...
FLIP!
... turns Axe-O-Lotl over with the front flipper, and now, Axe-O-Lotl just drives into the back of Turbo Tails, and clearly missing that blade! Now, Axe-O-Lotl fires the axe!
WHACK!!
The axe penetrates straight into the fur, and there is a dent in the armour! Now, it drags Turbo Tails onto the flames!!!
FWOOM!
Ah, bot flambe, one of my favourites! Turbo Tails gets away and the fur is on fire!! Ah, that was awesome. No damage is caused inside the machine, though. Now, the blade of Turbo Tails is spinning madly, and it crashes into the side of Axe-O-Lotl with it! Axe-O-Lotl tries getting away, but...
CRASH!!!!
WOAH! The blade slices a big gash in the armour, and now... Axe-O-Lotl self-rights, and comes in, and slams into Dervish!
CRASH!!!
WOAH! Dervish flips over Axe-O-Lotl and removes a piece of armour from it, and now, the axebot tries to go for Turbo Tails and avoiding that blade again, but Dervish comes in and slams into Axe-O-Lotl again!
CRASH!!
WOAH! Dervish is really cranking up the carnage level here, and Turbo Tails shoves Axe-O-Lotl from the sides and drags it to Dervish!
CRASH!!!
OH!! Axe-O-Lotl goes flying into the wall and nearly out of the blinking warzone! Now, Axe-O-Lotl runs away from Dervish, and gets to Turbo Tails side and fires the axe!
WHACK!
The axe again causes damage and makes a dent, but Dervish comes in and saves Turbo Tails by slamming into Axe-O-Lotls side!
CRASH!!!
And that sends Axe-O-Lotl flying into the wall again, and now Axe-O-Lotl is starting to drive in circles, and cant seem to move freely. The pit release has been activated by Turbo Tails, and Dervish comes in, smashing into the other side of Axe-O-Lotl!
CRASH!!!!
And that attack sends Axe-O-Lotl on its back, and Axe-O-Lotl self-rights again... but wait! HAS AXE-O-LOTL STOPPED?! I think it has! The initial slam from Dervish sent it flying, and I think something vital inside has been dislodged. The count is on!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... OUT!!!
Now, Turbo Tails, with the fur coat gone, has revenge on Axe-O-Lotl by shunting it down the pit. Daniel and Steve shake hands with each other. Well done to all three teams!

CEASE!

Axe-O-Lotl is sent back to the prehistoric era.
Dervish / and Turbo Tails go through!

Round 2 Line-Ups

Liar VS Dervish
Super Gore Evo VS Turbo Tails

Tactics, Predidlydictions, and a party for celebrating Michelles debut here.

[kodster]

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

Not too bad at all, Samuel, though we dont really need much of the CRASH!es.

Liar 2 vs Dervish V

Liar could get shocked to death methinks, but I dont think so. However I dont think hes gonna get an OOTA either. Dervish to go down the pit.

Super Gore Evo vs. Turbo Tails



Super Gore Evo, right. Evoll use the clamping claws. Aim for the sides or rear, and sink in, then use my better traction to drag Turbo Tails down the pit. Avoid the front; the flipper itself doesnt bug me at all, but I might go up onto the wedge and hit the spinning bar, which is pretty much the only way it can hit me seeing as its too high.

And yeah, the party is already next door Samuel.

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

(In the pits)
Michelle: Im here with Martijn and Liar... youre up against... Dervish!
Martijn: Hmm... Dervish, ok. Well, the thing is, I hate axlebots, full body drums, etc, and I already got beaten by the Disc 5 in Crash and Burn 2. (Laughs)
Michelle: Hahahaha. Thats not so great, anyway, tactics?
Martijn: Straight in, Straight out.
Michelle: Good luck.
Martijn: Thank you.

Michelle: And heres Dan Stickler with his machine, the beautiful and magnificent Dervish!
Dan: Yes it is.
Michelle: Right, now then... your opponent is Liar 2.
Dan: Ouch, a nasty opponent. If those spikes on the sides get at my wheels, then it will be game over for me.
Michelle: And your tactics are?
Dan: Go to the sides, smack into the wheels, and hope for the best. I could put some nice dents in there.
Michelle: All right then, good luck.
Dan: Thank you.

Sam: Well, this marks the beginning of the REAL destruction! PREPARE FOR ROUND 2!!!

(BATTLE 3!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...

LIAR!!!!

DERVISH /!!!

Roboteers, Stand By...!

Booth 1: Liar
Booth 2: Dervish

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

So, Liar comes in straight away, and Dervish is madly spinning. Dervish moves towards the side, but Liar turns and gets underneath!
FLIP!
Sending the drum 10 feet up into the air, there! Now, Dervish smacks into the side of Liar!
CRASH!!
Liar gets knocked over onto its back by that attack, and Martijn is reminding himself not to make that mistake again. The wheel is undamaged. Now, Liar again, gets under, and flips before the drum gets up to full speed!
FLIP!
Now, Liar gets away, but Dervish spins to full speed, and now, hitting the side of Liar yet again with the drum!
CRASH!!!
OH Look at the wheel! There is an enormous dent just carved right in there! But Liar is quick and gets underneath again!
FLIP!
WOAH! Sparks fly, and so does Dervish! Dervish lands straight onto the titanium floor with a thump! Now Dervish immediately smacks into Liar, drum spun up to full speed!
CRASH!!
OUCH. You know how much that would hurt. The drum digs right into the wheel and look at that! The wheel is very badly dented there! Now, Martijn cant take it anymore, so he drives Liar into the side of Dervish, and...
FLIP!!!
OH HO! Dervish is sent flying into the pit release and almost out! Now, the pit release has been activated, and now, Dervish immediately spins again, and smacks directly into the back of Liar!
CRASH!!!
The rubber is stripped off of Liars tyres. Liar does not give up, and starts spinning!
WHACK!
Dervish... oh! Dervish has been hit in the tyre! Lets have a look at it again! WHAM! What a deadly assault there by Liar! But both of these bots are in bad shape, and theyre sort of limping along here, and arent able to move freely! Time is running out here....
10... 9... 8...
FLIP!
Liar flips Dervish again, and with less than 7 seconds remaining...
7... 6... 5... 4...
... I think it will HAVE to go to a judges decision.
3... 2... 1...

CEASE!

Quite a good battle that was! Both of the competitors did very well, but there can only be one winner.

JD: Liar / Dervish
Style: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Damage: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Control: 2.6/5 / 2.4/5
Aggresion: 3/5 / 2/5
Total Score: 10.5/20 / 9.5/20

Dervish grounds to a halt!
Liar goes through to the Heat O Final!

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

Michelle: So, Steve, you are up against... Super Gore Evo!
Steve: Oh dear. I had trouble with pincers in the past, but Ill do my best.
Michelle: Tactics?
Steve: Not much I can do, just avoid the front, and slam him over and over again with the rear blade.
Michelle: Good luck.
Steve: Thank you.

Michelle: And heres the man himself, Kody Kunz!
Kody: Thank you, mdear.
Michelle: Youre welcome. Right then, youre up against... Turbo Tails!
Kody: Aw, come on. Ive been in worse situations than this before.
Michelle: (Laughs) Any tactics?
Kody: 4 steps. Open pit, grab, roast, and pit. and... dont forget, Turbo Tails WILL burn to death tonight!
Michelle: Hahahaha!

(BATTLE 4!!!)

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...

TURBO TAILS!!!

SUPER GORE EVO!!!

Roboteers, Stand By...!

Booth 1: Turbo Tails
Booth 2: Super Gore Evo

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

Turbo Tails, immediately spins the blade up to speed, and Super Gore immediately presses the pit button as soon as activate sounds. The two bots collide with each other head-on, and Turbo Tails is pinned by the pincers of Super Gore, and now, which way is Super Gore going to take? Turbo Tails is being pushed into... OH NO. Not the flames!
FWOOM!!
HAHAHAHAHA! The fur is on fire! Things are not going according to plan! Turbo Tails is on fire again! Now, Turbo Tails gets away, and now, the blade is spinning, and hits Super Gores side!
CRASH!!!
Ah, sparks fly. Gotta love the sparks. Super Gore is scratched, but that did not cause any problems to the mobility. Turbo Tails, with the fur almost all gone and everything, comes in on Super Gores side and flips the pincer over!
FLIP!
Now, Super Gore is inverted, but look at that! Straight away, it turns and clamps onto Turbo Tails, there! The urethane rubber coated claws keeps Turbo Tails tightly inside the claws! OI! Turbo Tails gets away somehow, and spins up to deadly speed! The blade hits the back armour of Super Gore!
CRASH!!!
WOAH!! The blade rips into the back and makes a huge scratch! But considering it can still move freely, Super Gore is still okay. Now, Turbo Tails gets under the side of the great pincer and flips it!
FLIP!
The flip sends Super Gore onto its right side up, and Super Gore dodges that rear blade! Now it gets its pincers into play again, and grabs Turbo Tails! Turbo Tails is being pushed towards the pit, and cannot get away... and BOOM! Its over in less than a minute and a half!

CEASE!

Turbo Tails looks more like Turbo Fails.
Super Gore Evo goes through to the Heat O Final!

(End Interview)

Sam: Well, you did get some good shots in there.
Steve: Yeah, all was well until this annoying pincer dude kept on grabbing me and then he pushed me in the pit!
Sam: (Chuckles) What went wrong there, do you think?
Steve: Well, Super Gore has got the better traction with those pincers. Its hard to get out of there.
Sam: Is Turbo Tails coming back?
Steve: You bet.
Sam: All right, everyone, lets hear it for Turbo Tails!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well you looked quite aggressive, I must say!
Kody: Thank you, I think so as well.
Sam: You got me scared to death in some parts of the battle, I thought you were long gone!
Kody: Yeah, well, he wasnt really that easy to beat. But I managed to grab tight hold of him and get rid of him in the end.
Sam: You think you can win this heat?
Kody: Oh yeah. Ive won 3 heats, so why not this heat?
Sam: All right, well everyone, please put your hands together for the winner, SUPER GORE EVO!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)

Heat O Final
Liar VS Super Gore Evo

Tactics, Predictions, and a nice warm cup of decaf for breakfast please.

[kodster]

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

Awesome battles...though the blade wasnt supposed to be able to hit SGE, but meh, whatever.

Liar 2 vs. Super Gore Evo

Dont see how Liar would win in a pushing match so I assume its gonna use its flipper. Its the same height as Turbo Tails, so Ill use the clamping claws again. Looking at Liar 2s render, the shape of my claws might actually be able to slide right in between the wheel and the side and pin it. After that, just pit Liar. Nothing fancy. If I get caught on Liars wedge, drive off, tis one of the great things about tracks. Flipping me does nothing, but OOTAing does.

Summary: Avoid flipper, grab wheel, dunk in pit.

*hands Samuel a cuppa. Hazelnut creme*

Oh you wanted decaf? Sorry, I forgot to look it up.

[samuel3764]

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

(In the pits...)
Michelle: Well, the heat final is near, Martijn. You are up against Super Gore Evo!
Martijn: Well, Super Gore Evo beat Liar before, so itll probably be pretty difficult.
Michelle: Tactics?
Martijn: I have no other tactics than to flip him out of the arena.
Michelle: Right then, best of luck.
Martijn: Thank you.

Michelle: Well, heres the magnificient Kody Kunz! What are you up to?
Kody: Just mending the scratch that Turbo Tails made.
Michelle: OK, now then, youre up against... Liar 2!
Kody: Well, I beat him once before, so Im not too worried. Ill use the clamping claws to grab tight hold of the wheelies, and pit ASAP.
Michelle: All right then. Best of luck. By the way, you know, we get along so well.
Kody: Hahahaha! Yeah I know!

* * * * * *

Dan OHagan: The heat final is between Liar 2 and Super Gore Evo, all of these robots highly respected in tournaments like Robot SMASH!, Easter Bunny Tribute, and many others. So, quite a difficult one for me. However, if I had to go for one robot in this fight it would be Super Gore Evo. I predict that Liar will get multiple flips, BUT Super Gore Evo has the better traction and pushing power, so I will guess that it will dump Liar in the pit. Anyway, lets go and see what happens!

Sam Park: Ah, yes. This is it! The main event is coming near... THIS IS THE HEAT FINAL!!!!!

(HEAT FINAL!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...

LIAR!!!!

SUPER GORE EVO!!!!

Roboteers, Stand By...!

Booth 1: Liar
Booth 2: Super Gore Evo

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

So, into the heat final we go. Remember, that these robots have fought before, and immediately, Liar gets underneath, and flips the pincer over!
FLIP!
Now, Super Gore is overturned, but it SLAMS into Liars rear end, and it clamps the wheels! Now, dents start to appear in the wheels of Liar, there! Liar escapes, and again, the flipper gets underneath the rear end, and flips Super Gore over!
FLIP!
Coming in for the kill again, Super Gore SLAMS into the pit button... and dislodges it from the wall. Aargh. Well have words with you later, Kody! :wink: Now, Liar drives into Super Gores side, but no flipping it makes. But hey! Look at this! Super Gore turns and clamps the side! What an interesting turn of events! Liars wheels try to spin frantically to get away, and now... eh... ah! Super Gore Evo lets go, and Liar is freed from Super Gores grasp! Now, Liar immediately turns and again, it gets underneath, and...
FLIP!
... makes a HUGE flip there! Now, Super Gore Evo is overturned again! Super Gore continues to go for the jugular, and Liar, at the same time, is also trying to get underneath the ground clearence of Super Gore, but Super Gore turns around, charges at the sides, and clamps Liars axle! Tense battle here, so far. Now, Liars wheels are spinning, but it cant seem to get away from the claws, here. Anyway, Super Gore is now driving towards the pit there... AND TAKES LIAR WITH IT! Liar is trying frantically to escape... OI! Super Gore lets go! Liar has been freed once again, and now, Liar is sort of limping along, here, and unable to move freely... there seems to be some damage caused to the wheel axle by Super Gores claws. Now, this means that Super Gore can choose the angle and position of assault, and Super Gore gets at the sides of Liar again, and clamps it! Liar is being dragged into the hammers! The 50kg hammers come down!
WHAM!!
OH! The armour takes damage, and now, Super Gore still grabs tight hold of Liars wheel, and drives towards the pit again! Liar cant get away, and before Martijn knows it, Liar plummets into the hole with a thud!

CEASE!

Liar, Liar, pants on fire!
Super Gore Evo goes through to the series Semi Finals!

(End Interview)

Sam: Aww, so close.
Martijn: Yeah, I know. I looked forward to winning another heat, and getting my revenge, but alas, NO!
Sam: To be honest, I thought you were going to win! What went wrong there?
Martijn: Well, he had the better traction, and after he grabbed hold of my wheel axle, I think that caused some problems to the mobility.
Sam: Well, at least you have one robot through to the semis.
Martijn: (Chuckles)
Sam: Are you going to come back next year?
Martijn: Id love to!
Sam: All right, lets hear it for the gallant contender, LIAR 2!!!!
(CROWD CHEERS)
Sam: Well, another awesome job done by Kody Kunz, there.
Kody: Thank you.
Sam: Now, he had you on the ropes in the beginning. What was your tactic?
Kody: Well, after getting multiple flips from the flipper, I figured his weak spot was the wheels, and sure enough, the claws grabbed tight hold, and I was able to put him in the drink.
Sam: Great job for winning ANOTHER heat. Is Super Gore going all the way?
Kody: You bet!
Sam: All right, everyone, your winner for Heat O... SUPER GORE EVOOOOO!!!!
(CROWD CHEEERS)
Sam: Well, another robot wins, and another heat ends. Liar may come back for another day, but its the winners that count here. For everyone here, Im Sam Park. Good evening, everyone.
(CROWD CHEERS MORE, Sam, Kody, and Martijn shakes hands)

Who entered Revolutionist? Seriously? Meh, I suggest Steve and I take it down.

Spring-Bok! vs Rupture vs. Tempest Evil-est-oution

Tempests a sure bet...and the vapourbot with the unknown amount of wheels to join him through.

Keep it up, Samuel, youre almost there.

As for pizza...you have a choice of Hawaiian, Deluxe, Canadian, or Tuscan. Sorry. :P

Killobite, MSSD, Tempest and Rupture through

Well done on this great tournament Sam, I look forward to the continuation of the mini tournament and I must ask will there be a RoboBash 2? I wish to enter

[samuel3764]

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

There may be a RoboBash Series 2, but I havent decided yet. ANYWAY, THE FINAL HEAT OF SERIES 1!!!!
* * *

Sam Park: Ah, yes. Its the final heat of Robobash 1! So far there have been 15 semi-finallists, which robot is going to make the last place for the semi-finals? Six brand new robots are coming to wreak havoc, and cause mayhem in the arena! ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!!!!!

(CROWD CHEERS)

Sam Park: Okay, LET THE WAAAAAAARS BEGIN!!!!!

(BATTLE 1!)

From Toronto, Ontario, Killobite 5.0!

Very similar to an earlier contestant, Nidhogg, its got a nice crusher and lifter combo which packs a wallop! The linear actuated bar at the rear also acts as a srimech, but the armour is doubtful. Will he give the opponents a nasty bite?

From Glasgow, Scotland, Metal Sonic Spin Dash!

Metal Sonic Spin Dash will fly by you in circles if youre not fast enough. Its got a mega-nasty attitude, 3000RPM front blade, and a nice top srimech. When you combine that with 6 wheel drive, and great traction, youve got a killer machine that will make Dr. Robotnik beg for mercy!

From Ormond Beach, Florida, The Revolutionist!

This robot hasnt had too much successes, except the part where it landed 2nd in the first US championships. Its got a full body spinner which spins at 1200RPM, but the lack of srimech might cause its downfall.

Roboteers, Stand By...!

Booth 1: Killobite 5.0, MSSD
Booth 2: Revolutionist

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

Say hello to the first battle of the final heat! Revolutionist immediately spins up, but MSSD just... ah! MSSD slams into the Revolutionist, and sparks begin to fly! Killobite crashes their party, and now, Killboite gets under the Revolutionist, and clamps it! Now, the runner up of the first US Robot Wars is in dire straits, as it gets dragged into the hammers!
WHAM!
OH! The armour is taking a huge battering! Now, the Revolutionist gets away, but somethings wrong... Revolutionist has stopped spinning! MSSD now takes that as an advantage, and pushes the Revolutionist into the hammers again! The 50kg hammer comes down!
WHAM!!
OH!!! The hammer just smashes into the Revolutionist! Revolutionist gets away, but with only limited movement, because I think that hammer mustve disabled some mechanics. Killobite comes in and slams into the pit button. Now, Killobite slams into Revolutionist, and clamps it again! The armour is taking serious damage there! Now, Killobite spares the Revolutionist from any more damage by shunting it into the pit. BOOM!

CEASE!

Revolutionist fails to make a revolution.
Killobite and Metal Sonic Spin Dash go through!

Sam Park: Welcome back to RoboBash, where well be off with our 2nd battle of the evening. Two robots will make the podium, but one will be chopped up and made into food for the other bots!

(BATTLE 2!!!)

From Onehouse, Suffolk, Spring-BOK!

Looks like an antelope went on steroids! Spring-BOK has a launch pad powered by a few car springs, a Phillipper style set of srimechs on the sides, and its covered in orange fur? I think I smell burning... and that 8mm titanium underneath the fur looks a bit shabby,,,

From Shrewsbury in Shropshire, Rupture!

Rupture is here to rupture its opponents... literally. This bad boy has got a nice lifting arm for a weapon powered by magmotors, and some good pushing power, too. But above all, it keeps going, going and... erm... going!

From Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, Tempest Evil-est-Oution!

Tempest is more of a hit than the movie Marley and Me. It has a ring spinner that spins at 1000RPM max, and dishes out a nasty 83 kJ! However, it doesnt have that much pushing power and its sometimes difficult to contrrol.

Roboteers, Stand By...!

Booth 1: Spring-BOK, Rupture
Booth 2: Tempest

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

And say hello to the last of the first round battles! The spinner of Tempest is spinning madly, and Rupture slams into Spring-BOK, and slams it into the wall!
WHAM!
OUCH! Thats gotta hurt! The fur is stripped off from Spring-BOK, and now Spring-BOK drives away, only to find Tempest!
CRASH!!!!
WOAH!! That attack sent Spring-BOK flying, and now, the fur is almost all gone and there is a huge gash in the rear end there! Now, Tempest gets up to full speed yet again, and Rupture meanwhile, is still chasing Spring-BOK! Spring-BOK turns and shows Rupture its front, but too late. Rupture gets underneath somehow, and slams Spring-BOK into TEMPESTS SPINNER!!!!
CRASH!!!!
CRUSHED... Thats all I can say. Now, the side armour has taken a HUGE battering, and look at that! The side srimech arm is ripped out of shape there! Now, Tempest crashes into the pit button, and opens the pit, and Spring-BOK and Rupture are still duking it out, there! Rupture has Spring-BOK in the air again, and pushes him into Tempest! Spring-BOK tries getting away, but... too late.
CRASH!!!!
OH... MY... GOD! That hit sends Spring-BOK flying, and look at the OTHER side, its also completely bent! To be honest, I think Spring-BOK has no movement left anymore, do you? I think that when Tempest hit it, Look at that! Just ripped apart there! The count is on!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... OUT!!!
Now, Rupture pushes Spring-BOK into the flames! FWOOM! Ah, bot flambe in the action here! Now, Tempest spins down and spares Spring-BOK from taking any more damage and shunts it down the pit.

CEASE!

Spring-BOK, fated for the flames and pit. Better luck next time, Chris!
Rupture and Tempest go through!

Round 2

Killobite VS Rupture
MSSD VS Tempest

Tactics, Predictions and a pancake please.

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

None too bad there. Likewise, if you make a RB2, reserve me a spot.

Killobite 5.0 vs. Rupture

Well we still dont know how many wheels it has, but it doesnt matter how many wheels it has if Ive got it in the air. Get under, clamp, lift, carry to pit, and drop.

Metal Sonic Spin Dash vs. Tempest Evil-est-oution

MSSD is a capable rammer as well as a capable sawbot, but I think Tempest can pull off a KO here.

The end is nigh!

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

Michelle: And heres the magnificient Kody Kunz with his brilliant machine, Killobite! Hows it going?
Kody: Spiffing, mdarling, and you?
Michelle: Im doing great, thanks. Now youre up against... Rupture!
Kody: Wow, this is going to be easier than I thought. Eh, just get under the sides/back, and crush the top, and then... oh I dont know, drag it down the pit?
Michelle: Good luck.
Kody: Thank you.

Michelle: And heres AJ with his awesome machine, Rupture!
AJ: Yes, it is.
Michelle: Right then. You are up against... Killobite!
AJ: Well, the only thing I could do here, is lift it up and probably pit the damn thing.
Michelle: Right then, best of luck.
AJ: Thank you.

Sam: So, this is it. Oh yes, its storming time again. This is ROUND 2!!!

(BATTLE 3!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...

KILLOBITE!!!

RUPTURE!!!

Roboteers, Stand By...

Booth 1: Killobite
Booth 2: Rupture

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

Killobite immediately presses the pit button, and the pit opens. Now, Rupture gets underneath the side, and lifts Killobite up and over! Good self-righting there by Killobite, and now, it gets underneath Rupture with the front forks, and pins it down! Theres a dent in the hardox armour of Rupture, and now, it gets dragged into the hammers! The hammer comes BLASTING DOWN!!!
WHAM!
OH! Rupture gets one in the top armour! Now, Rupture gets away, and gets under the sides! Now, it slowly lifts Killobite onto its back, but Killobite self-rights. Now, Killobite fights back, with its own weapon... and Rupture gets clamped! Now, Rupture cannot seem to get away that easily from the grip of Killobite, its wheels are spinning, but it cant get away! Now, Killobite starts to slowly lever Rupture... towards the pit... Rupture is on the brink of oblivion... OH! It just gets away, and again, gets underneath the side ground clearence and lifts Killobite onto its back, and again, Killobite flips itself back onto its wheels, and now, Killobite gets underneath once again... and again, it levers Rupture... towards the pit, and Rupture cant get away.... BOOM! Down it goes! Its all over in 31 seconds!

CEASE!

Rupture gets ruptured.
Killobite goes through to the Heat Final!
