Its preemtive karma payback. Later in life youll cure cancer, discover the meaning of the universe and invent a tool to open heat sealed plastic packages safely.

Heat F
Seung Mina III VS Nitro-Gene 4.0 VS Dead Horse Beater
Storm 2 VS Big Nipper VS Whirligig 4.5

Why me as well?

[kodster]

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

Okay.

Storm 2 vs. Big Nipper vs. Whirligig 4.5

Whirligig to LOSE because Storm 2 and Big Nipper will team-up on it out of fear of meeting it one-on-one in later rounds, and shove it down the pit.

Yeah right.

[kodster]

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

Hey! We get the other heats now!

Heat I
The Matador VS Scaramanga II VS Worck

Um...unless Paul is allowed to revise his stats, then hes out. If so...I can see Scaramanga going out, smokescreen or no.

Megabyte VS Wheely Pure Evil 2 VS Intrigue

Oh (bleep). Dan, lets try to take out Megabyte. Please?

Heat J
Turbulence VS Rupture VS With or Without You

Its like I said before: With or Without You will not do good in melees. Martijn, sadly, out.

Baldur Gamma VS Knocking Out VS Son of Ripper Hex

Paul out.

Heat K
Wedge Devolution VS Vlad the Impaler VS Cat with Wheels

See ya, Vlad.

Mega Masher 2 VS No Objections VS Yet Another Cut Above the Rest

I can swiftly see either Joey or Chris becoming cannon fodder.

Heat L
Sakura VS Darkestar VS Split Decision

Split Decision to be split into pieces.

Humdrum VS Autoism VS Back to Rock III

Uh...Humdrum out.

Heat M
Killotine: EVO VS Macduff the 2nd VS The Quaestor

Im actually going to go against the favour and team-up with Joey. Set-up 3 will do nicely nice (the lowered spikes), which will nullify Killotines front end clearance completely. That axe wont do anything to my hardox armour, either. Also, WHO has the greater power and traction?

Salamander III VS Axeon 2.0 VS Sheer Heart Attack 2

LOL. Two Crash & Burn champions, and Axeon 2.0 stuck between them. Not looking good for AJ unless he teams up with either of the two, but Id say that hes going to get teamed-up on himself.

Heat N
Sonic Boom VS GeForce 4.0 VS Biohazard

Biohazard for the flip and out.

Orka Mk 4 VS E Clawdius Unum VS Tri-Tainium

Orka and Clawdius are proven bots, tough and true. Tri-Tainium, not so much. Clawdius is definitely going through, and for now I will side with Orka to join him.

Heat O
Liar 2 VS Super Gore Evo VS Radioactive

To be honest, I hardly know anything about Radioactive, so Ill just say for now that me and Martijn should destroy it.

Revolutionist VS Turbo Tails VS Dervish V

Revolutionist out.

Heat P
Killobite 5.0 VS Metal Sonic Spin Dash VS Axe-O-Lotl

Really, I dont care about teaming up here, I can take on both these guys weapons. Just go for the one nearest, sink the claw in, lift, and go for a pitting.

Chaos 2 VS Firestorm V VS Tempest Evil-est-Oution

Tempest through for sure. Dunno which realie will join him.

Heat Winner Predictions

A: Me or Dante
B: Supreme Glory Gamma
C: Psyclonised or The 6isc
D: Flick of the Wrist or Pure Evil
E: Me! Oh wait...um...Crimson Thunder?
F: Whirligig
G: Too open for me to call for sure, but Fire and Ices chances look the best, though.
H: I actually think MeCannibal has a chance here, but Manic Monsoon looks quite good.
I: Wheely Pure Evil
J: Baldur or SoR
K: Wedge Devo
L: Sakura, Back to Rock, or Darkestar
M: Sheer Heart Attack!
N: GeForce
O: Liar or Dervish
P: Firestorm has a slim chance, but I think itll be Tempest.

Seems to be quite a cracking tournament, Samuel.

[paulc]

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

Well, if Im allowed to revise my stats then fine, and thisll be what my robot will look like.

WORCK

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 5mm Hardox for the body and flipper. 6mm Hardox for the scoop. There are hindged wedges on the sides and rear of Worck made of 3.25mm Hardox. Behind the armour, all the way around Vulkanised rubber to shock-proof it against spinners.

€ SHAPE: A low wedge shape.

€ MOTORS: 2 x S28-400 MagMotors at 36V = 12HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 70CM (H) 15CM (W) 70CM

€ COLOUR: Black for the flipper and barbs, white for the body.

€ WEAPONRY: A forward hindged flipper, running on a single 750psi ram running on CO2. The gas is contained in 2 x 2.5kg bottle, giving me 20 flips per fight, and the gearing on the ram 3:1 means we have 1300kg of flipping force! That should mean on a forward hindged flipper that I can flip almost everything OOTA.

€ SPEED: 13mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: The wedges, which join up at the corners of the robot, make the ground clearance effectively zero, but underneath the wedges is 5mm of clearance. The wedges are held on by Titanium hindges

€ STRENGTH: Near impossible to get under.

€ WEAKNESS: Low speeds.

If you ask where all the shock-proofing came from, I lost 5kg on the redesign, so I added in that in case I faced a spinner.

Ill post my predictions at a later date.

[joey_picus]

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

HEAT K
Mega Masher VS No Objections VS Yet Another Cut Above the Rest
Ill take my chances on a team up with AJ - basically turn Mega Masher over a lot and into YACATRs disc, and start spinning if MM comes on the attack. If he agrees of course.

Heat M
Killotine: EVO VS Macduff the 2nd VS The Quaestor
Teamup accepted, Mr. Kunz. I can do some damage with the axe and help in the pushing around, and possibly handle the pit release button duties.

Heat O
Liar VS Super Gore Evo. VS Radioactive
Radioactive is a lightweight...but its a small, very very low and rather fast lightweight. Avoid any weaponry, wedge under any uprotected side I can and rack up aggression points.

[tacoman]

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

Wedgas Revenge VS Supreme Glory Gamma VS DEATH THREAT 0.2

Supreme Glory can only attack me is I attack from the front or back, and Im a bit faster, so Ill go for the sides and pit it. Not certain what to do about Wedga though. Errm... prepare my will?

Psyclonised VS SITHIS VS Obliteration
Team up with AJ if he agrees, and obliterate Obliteration. If AJ doesnt agree, just stay away and obliterate Obliteration anyway.


Wedge Devolution VS Vlad the Impaler VS CAT WITH WHEELS
Can Vlad even self-right? Meh, flip it around, try and get it out of the arena.


CRIMSON THUNDER VS Door Stops VS GEMINI

yeah, I have two robots here. Dont know if that will be fixed, but whatever. Crimson Thunder will ram one of the Door Stops around, which should be easy given the weight, will one of the Gemini twins will try and flip the other. The second Gemini twin will hang around in the vicinity of the pit. If things turn sour for Crimson Thunder, itll drive itself in to save my better entry.

Fire & Ice VS LETHAL INJECTION VS Dennis the Menace

as Fire & Ice will be keeping Dennis busy, ill dart in and give it a few whacks with the flywheel while Joey shoves it around.


PANICATTACK VS Manic Monsoon VS MeCannibal 2.0

Like before, start writing my will. Errm, I suppose I could lift Monsoon up and drag it into MeCannibals disc?


Dreadnaut VS AXES OF EVIL VS Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc

Dreadnaut is basically cannon fodder, so axe it until it dies.

[alex_holt]

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

Heat I
Matador VS Scarmanga VS WORCK
Hide in the smoke and let the robot do its work...

Heat J
Baldur VS Knocking Out VS SOR Hex
Im tempted to go for SOR here just so I dont have to fight it solo later, does the owner of knocking ou fancy a team up?

Heat L
Sakura VS Darkestar VS Split Decision
Dont know anythign abotu either of these, so Ill just head for whomever has the lifter armour and try to finish the fight quickly.

Heat M
Salamander VS Axeon VS Sheer Heart Attack 2
Hmmm.... a nasty heat.... again get the first over with by going for the softer opponent.

[paulc]

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

Yes Alex - I do fancy a gang-up on SOR. My axe rivals that of Axeon, an AJ robot which is claimed to have the ability to dent Hardox. Ill happily dent the top several times, maybe force the armour down far enough to immobilise one side of it to make it easier to pit.

Do you also plan to help Worck take out The Matador?

[andrewj]

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

Time for the rest then€¦

Heat I

Matador VS Scarmanga VS WORCK - Maybe WORCK out
Megabyte VS Wheely Pure Evil 2 VS Intrigue - Megabyte might struggle here

Heat Winner: Wheely Pure Evil

Heat J

Turbulence VS Rupture VS With or Without You - Obviously the main intention will be to avoid Without You. Maybe I could team up with Martijn here and me and With You could push Turbulence into the bar spinner. If not, then just keep rolling Turbulence over and shove it around.
Baldur VS Knocking Out VS SOR Hex - Bring on a team up at your peril. I€™ll go for the horizontal bar here. Spin up, and go crazy on Knocking Out. Those skirts look like some nice food. 5mm Titanium is also quite bad, I should put some nice slices in that. Paul also provided me with a weakness to exploit - €œeasily flipped€ - so once those skirts are removed I€™ll throw it around. For the record Paul, your axe is nothing like Axeon€™s and I€™m not seeing it do any damage at all to SOR€™s top armour. Baldur doesn€™t particularly bother me, but if it wants a pop at me, get to its sides and bury my blade in. 5mm Kevlar and some foam? It may as well be cardboard.

Heat Winner: Well if I can€™t choose myself I€™ll go for Baldur.

Heat K

Wedge Devolution VS Vlad VS Cat with Wheels - Vlad out
Mega Masher VS No Objections VS Yet Another Cut Above the Rest - Go for the team up with Joey. I can cause quite a bit of damage to Mega Masher, so aim for those sides. If I€™m bored, I might go for a vertical vs. horizontal disc collision later on in the match.

Heat Winner: Wedge Devo, or possibly No Objections.

Heat L

Sakura VS Darkestar VS Split Decision - Split Decision could go out here
Humdrum VS Autoism VS Back to Rock - What€™s Humdrum? Get it out! :P

Heat Winner: I€™m thinking Back to Rock here.

Heat M

Killotine: EVO VS Macduff the 2nd VS Quaseator - Quaseater out, but should be a good match
Salamander VS Axeon VS Sheer Heart Attack 2 - Kody, you sure have some weird champions. I seem to recall Axeon knocked Salamander III out anyway, so that€™s not a real worry. I think Martijn might want to have a go at Salamander€™s wheels with the drum, so I€™ll pose a team up where I pin Salamander with the axe and Sheer Heart Attack rips into it. I€™ll see if Martijn agrees€¦ If not, I€™ll be going for Salamander anyway, box rush, axe it, push it around.

Heat Winner: Sheer Heart Attack, Killotine or Macduff - can€™t choose.

Heat N

Sonic Boom VS GeForce VS BioHazard - Get under BioHazard, flip it over. That€™s it.
Orka Mk 4 VS E Clawdius Unum VS Tri-Tanium - Tri-Tanium probably out here

Heat Winner: Hard to say€¦ maybe Clawdius?

Heat O

Liar VS Super Gore Evo. VS Radioactive - Goodbye Radioactive.
Revolutionist VS Turbo Tails VS Dervish V - Goodbye Revolutionist.

Heat Winner: Any of the remaining four€¦ maybe Super Gore Evo

Heat P

Killobite 5.0 VS Metal Sonic Spin Dash VS Axe-O-Lotl - I€™d say Axe-O-Lotl out
Chaos 2 VS Firestorm VS Tempest Evil-est-Oution - Well Tempest is through, of the others, probably Firestorm.

Heat Winner: Most likely Tempest
