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

Of course the benefit of a guidance system is of course that while on the one hand it may be less creative with its movements, on the other it means it has far faster reaction speeds and can make more precise movements. Especially when you cant see through the smoke...

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

This is the old Intrigue, isnt it.

Megabyte wont have such a nice time hitting me anyway due to my sloped/curved sides and wedged front/rear, so treat it like the most dangerous hazard in the arena.

Wheely Pure Evil doesnt seem to have a wide area to use its weapon so it doesnt worry me much. Grapple Mr. Evil and shove him into Megabyte. If I smack a wheel, then w00t.

As for the other fight, I think Scaramanga will crash out.

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

Hey! After all the times I said I liked Intrigue! :sad:

Kill....Intrigue....

*CHANGE OF PLAN!*

After talking to Kody on MSN, we have decided to gang up against Megabyte. Its self righting is not the most reliable, so Intrigue will go in and box rush it, stallign the weapon enough for me to come in and flip it around, hopefully OOTA. If it falls in the arena, Intrigue will carry on pushing it around, axeing the underbelly of the FBS whilst I open the pit release. Megabyte. Pit. Smoke. Done.

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

From Team Inertia-Labs, Matador!

Matador has a bloody powerful flipper, and it is built by the builders of T-Minus and Toro, Alexander Rose and Reason Bradley. However, itâ‚¬â„¢s got limited gas on board like all the other flippers and theyâ‚¬â„¢ve never been in an arena like this before.

From Team Doomforall, Scarmanga!

Scarmanga has a brilliant flipper, and a nasty attitude. Itâ‚¬â„¢s got a smokescreen thingy to distract other robots, as well. However, itâ‚¬â„¢s got limited CO2.

From Team Insanity, WORCK!

Whatâ‚¬â„¢s this? ANOTHER flipper?! YES! Paul Cuomo has built a wonderful machine, and itâ‚¬â„¢s got a forward-hinged flipper running on a single 750PSI ram running on CO2. Itâ‚¬â„¢s a bit slow, however.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: WORCK, Scarmanga
Booth 2: Matador

3â‚¬Â¦ 2â‚¬Â¦ 1â‚¬Â¦ ACTIVATE!

Scarmanga immediately goes off to smoke, and slams into the Matador, and flipping it!
FLIP!
OH!!! Nice flip there by Scarmanga there. It sent Matador flying 5 feet into the air, and now WORCK comes in, andâ‚¬Â¦
FLIP!
WORCK now flips over Matador, and Matador self-rights with a 540 degree spin! Now, Matador attacks WORCK and tries to get under it, but fails to do so. WORCK has a grip on Matador, and Paul smirks devilishly as he flips Matador over!
FLIP!
OH!!!! Another nice flip there, and now Scarmaga is coming into the action and flips over Matador! Now, Matador immediately self-rights, andâ‚¬Â¦
FLIP!
â‚¬Â¦ flips Scarmanga over but it self-rights directly, and now, WORCK crashes their party and crashes into Matador, and carries it to the wall! Now, after 38 seconds into the fight, WORCK tosses Matador over the fence!

CEASE

Matador wasnâ‚¬â„¢t able to stand up to the two â‚¬Å“bullsâ‚¬Â, get it?
WORCK and Scarmanga go through!

Sorry guys, I wont be able to post any fights for quite a long time. My parents are forcing me to go to summer school.

I am not going to do any hypotheticals or any cancellations.

**samuel3764** · 4 August 2008, 00:50

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

Im still in summer school, but I might be able to post one battle here. so here goes...

From Team Robotic Death Company, Megabyte!

Megabyte was the champion of the 2003 RFL Championships. Its got a deadly full body spinner that can actually self-right the robot, but as usual, it takes a VERY long time to self right.

From Team Britespark, Wheely Pure Evil!

Wheely Pure Evil is Wheely Big Cheese and St. Agro combined together. Its got two flippers that can topple over 5000kg in total. However, it will run out of flips and Im really not a fan of those exposed wheels and the Aluminum Boron Carbite armour.

From Team Zlayerz, Intrigue!

The EOTR 4 Champion returns! Intrigue has a great big axe, which could punch through titanium and dent hardox. It has beaten some good robots like Fire and Ice and Kali. However, its painted lime green, so it might induce some people to throw up?

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Megabyte, Wheely Pure Evil
Booth 2: Intrigue

3â‚¬Â¦ 2â‚¬Â¦ 1â‚¬Â¦ ACTIVATE!

So, here we go with the second eliminator. Megabyte immediately starts to spin up to its maximum potential, and it SMASHES into Wheely Pure Evil!
CRASH!!!
OH!! That took the side panel out completely! Now, Intrigue comes in for the kill on Megabyte before it gets spinning!
WHACK!!
OH!! That makes a nice huge dent in the shell there! Now Wheely Pure Evil comes in andâ‚¬Â¦.
FLIP!
OH!!! Nice flip by Wheely Pure Evil there! That sent Megabyte 13 feet up into the air and it lands back into the arena with a loud thud! Now, Megabyte tries to self-right, but as mentioned before, it takes a long time to right itself. Intrigue comes in with the axe, and buries it into Megabyte!
WHACK!!
OH!!! Nice attack by Intrigue there, it made a hole in the base armour! Intrigue lets go of the axe and Megabyte is flipped again by Wheely Pure Evil!
FLIP!
WAH-HEY! That sent Megabyte FLYING again and almost over the fence, butâ‚¬Â¦ uh oh. Dan, you really shouldnt have flipped Megabyte BACK ONTO ITS WHEELS!!!! Megabyte is straight back on the attack on Wheely Pure Evil and greets the side of itâ‚¬Â¦
CRASH!
WOAH!!! Wheely Pure Evils wheel has been ripped to shreds and its flipper gets stuck open and now, Intrigue has pressed the pit button, and it is looking for Megabyte, and it buries its axe into the spinning shell of the FBS which has just started to spin up!
WHACK!
That made another huge dent in the shell of Megabyte, and now, Intrigue lets go of the axe. Wheely Pure Evil, however, is standing STONE COLD. It has been completely stunned by the attack that Megabyte gave to it. Wheely Pure Evil is being counted out now!
10â‚¬Â¦ 9â‚¬Â¦ 8â‚¬Â¦ 7â‚¬Â¦ 6â‚¬Â¦ 5â‚¬Â¦ 4â‚¬Â¦ 3â‚¬Â¦ 2â‚¬Â¦ 1â‚¬Â¦ OUT!!!
Now, Megabyte spins down and nudges Wheely Pure Evil ever so close to that pitâ‚¬Â¦ and down it goes!

CEASE!

Wheely Pure Evil has wheely got to get some better armour!

Megabyte and Intrigue goes through!

Round 2 Line-Ups

Scarmanga VS Megabyte
WORCK VS Intrigue

Tactics, Comments, Predictions, and something to prevent â‚¬Å“Male Kramâ‚¬Â from invading my house, please.

**kodster** · 4 August 2008, 02:02

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

Scaramanga II vs. Megabyte

I dont think the smokescreen thingy will work so Megabyte FTW.

WORCK VS Intrigue

Ah, old bots...:wink: The very first Intrigue, too. That said, WORCK is described a lot like Envy, so Im gonna ram straight into him, and get underneath the front clearance, the front wedge spikes should help with that. Once Ive wedged him, take him to an arena side wall and just hammer the hell out of him until he dies. Failing that, wedge, snag with the axe, then drop into the pit. Self-right if needed.

Good luck with the rest of summer school Samuel.

**paulc** · 4 August 2008, 06:36

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

Scaramanga II vs. Megabyte: Theres NO WAY Scaramanga is going to survive this - Megabyte for the win, and Scaramanga for the skip

WORCK VS Intrigue: This is REALLY ironic - Intrigue (so far) has a 7-1 win-lose ratio, with all the wins being fights Ive written, and the loss against one of my robots

Intrigue is an impressive looking desgin, but Im not going to treat it lightly, even though I respect it.
Intrigues sides are unskirted, and have a 5mm clearance. This means that I can ram his sides and bring him onto the flipper. With the barbs on the wedge, if one of them catches a wheel housing or tyre, hes screwed, as Ill transport him to the walls, and flip! I will AVOID THE FRONT AND REAR LIKE MAD for 2 reasons.

1: I dont like the look of the axe, especially the back.
2: Due to the surface area rule, he will, for certain, get underneath me each time with the front or rear scoops.

If he gets an axe hold, flip as the flipper takes up most of the body length and it should force the axe off me.

Good luck Kody with your brilliant machine :wink:

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

Scarmanga VS Megabyte

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Scarmanga
Booth 2: Megabyte

3â‚¬Â¦ 2â‚¬Â¦ 1â‚¬Â¦ ACTIVATE!

Scarmanga immediately crashes into Megabyte, before it gets to full speed!
FLIP!
OH!! Scarmanga just flips over Megabyte to its back, and now the FBS is trying to right itself, but Scarmanga is just too good for Megabyte!
FLIP!
OH!!! Nice flip there by Scarmanga, it sent Megabyte flying and almost over the fence, butâ‚¬Â¦ oh no, Megabyte is back on its wheels! Now, Megabyte is spinning up to speed andâ‚¬Â¦
CRASH!!!
Megabyte makes a big scratch in the armourâ‚¬Â¦ nothing else. Now, Scarmanga just drives its flipper right into Megabyte again!
FLIP!
WOAH-HO! The flipper flips Megabyte onto its back, and Megabyte is trying frantically to self-right, but now, Scarmanga comes inâ‚¬Â¦
FA-LIP!
OHHHH!!!!! Itâ‚¬â„¢s all over in less than one minute into the fight! The FBS is tossed right over the fence, and OUT!

CEASE!

Megabyte will definitely need to have more â‚¬Å“byteâ‚¬Â than that.
Scarmanga goes through to the Heat I Final!

WORCK VS Intrigue

And theyâ‚¬â„¢re off! Intrigue, first to move, gets its axe to hit WORCK, but it misses! Now, WORCK gets underneath, andâ‚¬Â¦
FA-LIP!
OH!!! An unmerciful flip to Intrigue, but Intrigue rights itself just in time. Now, Intrigue finally gets its axe into WORCK!
WHACK!
The axe makes a dent in the armour, and WORCK drives its flipper right into Intrigue!
FLIP!
WORCK flips over Intrigue, and Intrigue self-rights again! This is a very nice and even battlle here. Nowâ‚¬Â¦
WHACK!

WHACK!
OH!!! Another nice hit there! Intrigue just makes another dent in the armour of WORCK! Now, the pit release has been activated by Intrigue, and Intrigue chases WORCK again, and itâ‚¬â„¢s ready with its axe, but misses! WHACK. Nice hole in the arena floor, Kody, but youâ‚¬â„¢ll pay for that.

Now, Intrigueâ‚¬Â¦
WHACK!
OH!!! Intrigue just makes yet another dent in the 5mm hardox armour of WORCK! Now, WORCK drives its flipper into Intrigue again!
FLIP!
WOAH! Intrigue goes airborne! Now, Intrigue self-rights, andâ‚¬Â¦ oh! Intrigue somehow gets under the 0mm ground clearence of WORCK with its own front wedge, andâ‚¬Â¦
