Dont bang your head on the wall, you could seriously hurt it...there are many walls around the world that have had promising careers cut short due to permanent, untimely disabilities caused by people banging their heads on them. :wink:

Mini-Tournament!

Yes! I got through, but only just. Well done to Jamie and unlucky to Mark and Leo - especially Leo, as Symmentry did some nice damage, especially to a robot designed to be a spinner-killer Im just glad I won through to the next round, where Ill be waiting for my next opponent...

Wow!

I immobilized my first robot, and shoved bots around!

I am beginning to be happy!

Actually Mark you didnt immobilise Symmetry, its batteries died due to their lack of power as stated in Leos stats.
But it was a very close match, you lost by just 4 points. And I must say your vapours have improved a hell of a lot.
Fictional armours have disapeared at last!
Just make sure you dont mess up VRW2, take your time and get it right.

Sorry I missed the start of this tournament since I was too busy winning the GRA championships (I am in a hotel in Bochum, Germany right now).

Very nice fight, and congratulations to Jamie for that nice win.

Yes we will be. First we are going to focus for the event in Brussel, Belgium this weekend and then all will be for preperations of the featherweight champs.

O and the first test of the new axe on Obsidian.

Well done on the GRA championships Leo!
Eliminator 2/2:
Namie€™s Style v The Alexandra Sisters v The End v Mega Masher 2

Namie€™s Style is a simple box-wedge design with a low pressure flipper, but don€™t underestimate Chezza€™s effective bot, this could turn into another Wedge Devolution! Chezza€™s favourite flavour jam is raspberry; let€™s hope the batteries in Namie€™s Style don€™t blow any!

The Alexandra Sisters is a clusterbot named after characters from Soul Calibur (I think, like Seung Mina and Tira), this design incorporates two flippers and teamwork between Sophitia and Cassandra. Kody€™s favourite jam is apricot, will this be his favourite victory for The Alexandra Sisters or will their weight disadvantage prove disastrous?

The End is a very... Original design from Joey McConnell. A petrol driven walker, it has no weapons, but the idea is it€™s just unkillable. Joey likes strawberry jam.

Mega Masher 2 is shaped like Minion from Battlebots, and uses a powerful vertical flywheel with the wedge at the front as well. Chris likes strawberry jam too, and hopes that his taste-bud similarities with Joey might take them both through.

Booth 1: Chezza, Kody Kunz
Booth 2: Joey McConnell, Chris Mason

ACTIVATE!

And we€™re off to a very quick start, with The Alexandra Sisters splitting up, Mega Masher 2 spinning up to cause maximum carnage, Namie€™s Style preparing itself for an attack on Mega Masher 2 and The End... seems to be doing something, it could be moving, but I can€™t be sure as it€™s certainly going very slow, if it€™s moving at all.
But it€™s Namie€™s Style that shows the thirst for blood and heads towards Mega Masher€™s dangerous flywheel, perhaps hoping to stop the spinning before it can do any real damage?
CRASH!
We may never know, as Namie went at the disc to attack, but Chris was spinning already and Namie is flipped away! Namie quickly self-rights, and the momentary stillness of Mega Masher€™s disc proved telling as it gave Kody a chance to run in on the attack with Sophitia Alexandra, who gets underneath disc and throws Mega Masher 2 onto its back! Namie then continues the attack and pushes Mega Masher up against the angle grinder, then fires its own flipper to right Mega Masher, who runs across the arena and attacks Cassandra with its wedge, getting underneath and pushing the cluster into The End, which hasn€™t gotten very far. Namie comes in on the attack again slams into the disc of Mega Masher 2 for the second time!
CRASH!
The disc has stopped again, but this time Chezza hasn€™t been so lucky, as Namie€™s top armour panel has been slightly bent up at the front, and that could prove fatal if Chris can get in another attack like that! But once again in comes Sophitia and flips Mega Masher 2 onto The End, who turns and knocks Mega Masher back down onto Sophitia, who flips it onto Namie€™s Style, who pushes it onto Cassandra, who rights it with that flipper! Mega Masher 2 is taking a pounding from those three flippers and Chris needs to take action now or Mega Masher 2 will be making way for Mega Masher 3! But Namie€™s Style isn€™t giving him a chance to spin up this time, flipping Chris into the air from under the disc! The wedge is stopping Mega Masher 2from going over completely, but still that disc isn€™t doing anything in mid-air and Chris needs to hatch a master plan if he€™s to progress to the semi-finals of this Mini-Tournament. Cassandra presses the pit release button while Namie€™s Style flips Mega Masher one last time, and then quickly runs underneath so that Chris is on top of Chezza€™s bot. Chezza now flips Mega Masher 2 over backwards, and Sophitia comes in to push it across the arena floor, towards the pit! Mega Masher tries to escape, but Sophitia keeps him on the floor with her flipper and now they reach the chasm!
PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT!
The crowd scream for Mega Masher 2€™s plunge into the depths of the pit of oblivion, and their wish is granted as Chris€™s machine takes the tumble and leaves the competition in a puff of smoke!
Now Namie€™s Style and The Alexandra Sisters turn their attention to The End, who has managed to move across into the centre of the arena while all that action was going on. Chezza nods to Kody and they all ram in on the attack, trying to get under those skirts! Joey lowers The End as much as possible and stays still, and still neither Chezza nor Kody can get underneath those skirts! Chezza suddenly has a brain wave and tells Kody something that we, the viewers can€™t hear. Both of the Alexandra Sisters and Namie€™s Style got to one edge of The End and start pushing it towards the pit! Joey realises what they€™re doing and galvanises The End into action, turning quickly and knocking Cassandra away, then setting out to try and out-muscle Sophitia and Namie€™s Style! 200kg is a lot of weight, and Sophitia and Namie€™s Style are struggling to push it by themselves when the thing in question is pushing back! But now Kody brings Cassandra back in on the attack and she joins in, the combined effort being enough to force The End across the arena and down into the pit of oblivion!
CRASH!
200kg of The End falls right on top of Mega Masher 2 and Christopher winces, feeling his bots pain!!

CEASE!

The End meets its end, Mega Masher 2 is mashed! Namie€™s Style and The Alexandra Sisters, they go through!

Provided its not too rabbit obsessed, Im in

Ah well, I have plans to further improve The End anyway...good job Kody and Chezza, and well done to Liam for some good battles.

Gotta leave for the day, so dont write the battles just yet.

*in a hurry*

[paulc]

Mini-Tournament!

Dr. Acula v Namie€™s Style: I predict that Chezza will make the Grand Final by rolling Dr. Acula over and ove until it goes to the judges where Namies Style will win.

The Alexandra Sisters v Nitro-Gene 4.0: Ohhhhhhhh...Kody, we met again Nitro has already faced and beaten a clusterbot - Richard Southworths Double Killa, which I beat via an OOTA, and I plan for this to be no different. I have advantages on all sides - traction, speed, power - I KNOW I have more power, due to my weight advantage and power advantage. In addition, my skirts mounted on all sides will make it near impossible for them to get under, but I dont think they have skirts at all, so Ill get under and throw them away - my 1600kg flipping force is enough to throw a 100kg robot 8ft or 6ft into the air, and 8ft to 5ft along (most likely the formers) so what itll do to a 45kg cluster I dread to imagine *offers Kody the right to have cushions placed around the edge of the arena *

My plan to to target the lightest part, and plan for a quick win, as 50% Cluster rule is in force here, so throw the lighter part OOTA, and Ill have it won. If the heavier part intervenes, flip him up to get him to go away, maybe shake some bits loose.

Good luck Kody :wink:
