That is AWFUL! The American take on Robot Wars was dreadful, BattleBots was brilliant, but when the American take the original recordings and sell it as their own, its just unbelievable!

They had that commentator on for the 4th Robot Wars, and he was dreadful! He couldnt commentate, and they cut huge chunks out!

Actually, there was no flame pit in that mini-series.

But, basically, all you need to know is that Humdrum is very little opposition.

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

HEY GUYS, HERE WE GO!!!

Heat A, Round 1, Battle 1

From Team Zlayerz, Wedginator!
Wedginator will wedginate you if you aint quick enough to run away . It€™s got a nasty flipper which is powered by a single 2.5kg CO2 Tank! This can flip about 300kg! When you combine that with 6mm hardox, LEM Drive, and 6WD, you€™re sure to have some carnage coming to the war zone!

From Team Doomforall, Dante!
Dante is the machine from hell! It is a really fast machine, with a mighty 24 kg spinning flywheel of doom for a weapon. This flywheel spins at 1000RPM powered by a magmotor, and it also has a rear srimech as well. But high ground clearance makes it vulnerable to flippers, and there is ONE in this fight€¦

From Team Varying Every Day, Axe to Fall!
Axe to Fall will axe you like hell if you don€™t run away quick enough. It€™s got a Terrorhurtz-style axe and the axe blade is shaped like a Japanese Tanto Blade to maximize the damage! But there are no side weapons€¦ and there€™s high ground clearance as well. Ugh€¦

Roboteers, Stand by!

Booth 1: Wedginator, Dante
Booth 2: Axe To Fall

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!

So the first battle of Robobash commences now. Wedginator, first to move, gets underneath Axe to Fall, and flips it over onto its back. Axe to Fall self-rights, but he lands right onto Dante€™s flywheel disc!
CRASH!
One wheel is hit with the disc! Now, Axe To Fall limps on three wheels, and Dante comes in again, disc up to full speed ahead!
CRASH!
Oh! The disc tips Axe to Fall over again and showers of sparks litter the arena and Martijn self rights directly! Now Wedginator comes out of nowhere and gets under the 7mm ground clearence at the back, and pushes it towards the wall!
FA-LIP!!
OH!!! After just 19 seconds into the fight Wedginator flicks Axe to Fall over the fence!!!!!!

CEASE!

Axe to Fall falls right out of the arena.
Wedginator and Dante go through!

Not bad for a first time fight, Samuel! Better luck next time, Marti.

[samuel3764]

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

From Team Chevron, 147!

147 has got a very dangerous flipper, which is powered by 2 rams and 2 2kg CO2 tanks, giving about 20 flips per fight. It can be flammable (How is it flammable?) and it has limited CO2€¦ like all other flippers.

From Team Insanity, Death Via Drum!

DVD make mincemeat out of you until you begin to cry for your mommy. It has got a massive 15kg drum spinning at 6500RPM, and it is also completely invertble. It IS a tad bit slow, though.

From Team Dinowarrior, Leprosy Infection!

Leprosy Infection is another drumbot which will gauge you all the way to your bones if you don€™t run away for your life. This lethal drum spins at 4000RPM, with sharp teeth on it, and it€™s also invertible, but being invertible means that crushers and axes can find its tyres€¦

Roboteers, stand by!

Booth 1: 147, D.V.D
Booth 2: Leprosy Infection

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Leprosy Infection, first to move, immediately presses the pit button after €œactivate€ is said. DVD is now spinning up, and Leprosy spins up as well, both going for 147, and DVD digs into the side of 147 with the drum!
CRASH!
OH!!!! 147 is being shredded! Just look at the damage caused to it right now! The side skirt is ripped clean off, and the wheels are exposed! Now Leprosy Infection comes in for a frontal attack, and€¦ oh no€¦ 147€™s flipper has been activated before Leprosy goes over it!
BOOM!!!!
OHHHHHH!!!!!! The CO2 Tank BURSTS open!!!! Joey is looking traumatized now, as DVD spins up again and hits 147 again!
CRASH!!!
Now€¦ the flipper of 147 is stuck open, exposing the mechanics!!! An imaginary light bulb goes over Chris€™s head, and Chris spins up and hits the stuck-open flipper of 147!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHH!!!!! Man, that is one hell of a hit! OH, and I think 147€™s on fire! It€™s smoking!!! Leprosy Infection now starts nudging 147 ever so close to that pit of oblivion, and€¦ BOOM! Down they go!

CEASE!

147 better make room for 148.
DVD and Leprosy Infection go through!

Round 2 Lineups

Wedginator VS DVD
Dante VS Leprosy Infection

[kodster]

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

Heat A Round 2
Wedginator 6.0 vs. DVD

Drums dont damage hardox, at least, not properly. And because of the set-up of Wedginators flipper, it aint gonna shock me to death. Get under those lovely skirtless sides and pit DVD without any problems. The blade in front of Wedginator should prevent me from getting flipped by the drum as well.

Dante vs. Leprosy Infection

I like Dantes weapon, its quite the lethal one, and the chassis is pretty strong, but all the same I believe that Leprosy Infection will toss it over with the drum, and keep smacking it towards the pit. Dantes self-righting probably wont help it here as its a bit on the slow side, and Chrisll just knock him right back over. Yeah, Leprosy Infection FTW here.
