) and avoid Without You. Slam into Crash Bandibot, bludgeon the armour with the drum, and push it into Sithis like theres no tomorrow.
Like its teammate, it has a low-pressure flipper, and some nifty upgrades to help it survive€¦and flip away. This hedgehog-bot comes with a vertical mounted sawblade and a front spatula to help get under other robots. Wedgie responds with a shove and a quick FLIP, sending Slammer over. Not that it accomplishes much, but it very momentarily stuns Slammer and allows Wedgie to move in and slam it against the wall! Meanwhile, Namie€™s Style has its hands full with Metal Sonic Spin Dash, as the initial charge sent it right up onto MSSD€™s spatula, and now Steven is in control. BANG! OOH! Some sparks shaved off of Namie at that hit, and make a wide cut in the front blade! MSSD tilts slightly, relieving the pressure of Namie off the saw to spin it up again, but Namie€™s flipper activates and throws it off of MSSD. Angered, Steven gives chase, but it isn€™t long before Namie turns around and is confronted. WHAM! Both meet€¦and again it€™s Steven who comes off the better of the two, as the spatula defeats the damaged blade and makes way for the sawblade. BANG! The flipper blade of Namie is chewed up very much at the middle, and Chezza looks worried. Anyway Namie has been toppled onto its back, and Alex is ready to repeat what he did with Wedgie, only to find the said Wedgie at his rear immediately, and beaching it. However, intrusion happens at his own rear as MSSD comes roaring in and smacks into Wedgie€™s rear, hard. The saw isn€™t spinning, and doubtless we know why, but it doesn€™t seem to have killed him entirely. Chezza however fully intends to kill off MSSD entirely, and Namie gets around to MSSD€™s side. It€™s having trouble getting under those skirts, though, and onlly manages to push MSSD against the wall and trap it there. MSSD drives forward, trying to shake Wedgie onto itself and snag it with the barbs atop that top panel, but with the weight of Slammer on top of Wedgie that ain€™t happening soon. Strangely enough Slammer€™s disc is spinning, just a few millimetres from the ground. Realizing this Steve backs MSSD up a little but careful not to entirely release Wedgie€¦and Namie pounces. It slides straight under the side skirt and lets loose a FLIP! Over goes MSSD, right out from under Wedgie, and into the wall! Before it can recover, Namie is there again and flips it again. FLIP! MSSD gets a little air and collapses onto the wall on an angle€¦and seems to be stacked! The wheels ain€™t touching the ground and the srimech is hitting air! FLIP! Ooh€¦Wedgie has tossed Slammer a bit, but thankfully the disc does not hit the floor. In fact, it turns in Alex€™s favour as the disc be pointing straight at Wedgie! Dave realizes his mistake much too late€¦ GeForce 4.0 on the other hand certainly has the force, which needs to be briefly described. Basically a wedge with a giant flipper, he€™ll toss you around at Mach 7! And with some decent armour, spinners won€™t have an easy time with him, that€™s for sure. Henry VIII has a history, albeit brief. A box with a 3mm titanium scoop and a tungsten-tipped axe should make others bow down. It€™s plenty powerful but the skirts are quite thin; 1mm titanium doesn€™t sound too promising. Henry VIII might need to be rewritten. 
It€™s got a nice flipper, and rear wedge which houses a pneumatic spike. Its weakness, Tengu, is nowhere to be found in this contest, but it will run out of flips. With Or Without You is Martijn M Benschop€™s clusterbot, With You being a LEM130-driven rammer and Without You being a suicidal bar spinner, getting 420kJ per hit at 7500rpm! It takes a while to get to that rpm, though, and when it€™s not spinning, it€™s VERY vulnerable. That will be put on Martijn€™s tab, assuredly, but for now, I don€™t think much of With You€™s chances now - oh! Crash Bandi-bot has left the zone, and is going over to Without You! Sithis leaves his zone at last as€¦FLIP! Oops, haha, Crash Bandi-bot tosses Without You€¦into a 360. Uh, onto its WHEELS, Chris. FLIP! There we go€¦and no. Without You is certainly dead, no movement. The Watcher is after it and€¦OI! Crash Bandi-bot flips the ref over! That€™s a no-no, Chris! The house robots are after you! ) again, so Killalot backs off€¦Sithis moves in on Crash Bandi-bot as The Watcher moves over to Without You€¦and counts it out. It€™s a flipper and spinner, with lifting forks, and a wide 12mm Hardox ring delivering 80kJ per blow. Possibly overweight, but it cannot move while spinning, so that is quite a weakness. Two flippers, one on each side, capable of flipping 5000kgs. However, it€™s got Boron Carbide as armour, which is quite overrated in armour. Its wheels are exposed too and it has limited CO2 capacity. Taking a leaf out of RW7 champ Typhoon 2€™s book is Sakura, a blossom-shaped FBS with four leaf-shaped blades that can dish out 90-100kJs. It can right itself as well but the underside is poorly armoured. Also has a gimmick which will be revealed later. :wink: What€™s this? Too bad Exa-Gore-Ic doesn€™t like it€¦and down goes the spinner, into the pit (BOOM!), as Wheely Pure Evil barely touches No Objections, and Daniel, contemplating what to do, hits the flipper button.
