MeCannibal is going after Crimson Thunder, and planning to repeat the result of our earlier encounter.

WORCK is going to reverse onto Sithis and plan to bounce him into one of Daniels mini robots. After sokme of Daniels robots have been destroyed, go for the OOTA of the others.

Good luck Daniel/Danny :wink:

Round 1, Battle 1:
Crimson Thunder v Supreme Glory Omega
MeCannibal 2.0
And so the first battle of the mini- competition begins!Remember, two robots advance from these three!

Looking on from the CPZs are two mechanical masterpieces, Mr.Pyscho and Dead Metal!

Crimson Thunder is a typical rambot- a strong 4 wheel drive design that can run inverted.Slightly less typical is the inverted wedge at the back, meaning a flip wont be as worrying to Crimson Thunder as it would be to some other robots, such as Storm II or Tornado.However, that inverted wedge gives it a high ground clearance at the rear and wont stop it going OOTA!

Supreme Glory Omega almost won the second belt, but was beaten by Flick of the Wrist in its third battle.Daniel is back and wants to wreak some sweet,sweet revenge on Martijn!Lets hope he at least makes it through the first round, then.

MeCannibal 2.0 is the heaviest robot in the competition, weighing in at 110kg.Paul is allowed the extra weight because MeCannibal is a shufflebot, that is to say it uses shufflepads instead of wheels, tracks or linear actuators to move.

Booth 1:Paul Cuomo, Danny Bailey

All three bots get a kick start, as Crimson Thunder heads for Supreme Glory Omega while MeCannibal spins up. Supreme Glory is glad to see Crimson Thundre coming towards it-as soon as its in range Daniel brings the axe down and punctures one of Crimson Thunders tyres!MeCannibal, having now soun up comes in behind Crimson Thunder and rips off that rear wedge!Supreme Glory withdraws its axe beforehitting Crimson Thunder in the middle of its body , forcing it back into MeCannibal, which rips out a drive motor! Crimson Thundres in real trouble now, and when Danny tries to maneuvre it out of danger Supreme Glory gets in behind that broken inverted wedge and pushes them into Mr.Pyschos CPZ!
CRASH x 2!
Supreme Glory brings its axe down onto another of Crimson Thunders wheels at exactly the same time as Pyschos hammer comes down on the top panel, knocking it loose! Danny reverses away from Supreme Glory and Pyscho, but in comes MeCannibal!
CRASH!
The force of the attack sends Crimson Thunders top panel spinning away, leaving the innards exposed to Supreme Glorys axe! Daniel doesnt miss the chance and strikes Crimson Thunder right in the batteries!
Then Supreme Glory drags Crimson Thunder onto the flame pit where the insides fry!When he backs off Crimson Thunder goes nowhere, so refbot comes in to check the battered bot out!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!
Dead Metal removes Crimson Thunders corpse from the flame pit and dumps it on the arena floor flipper!
FLIP!
Crimson Thundre bounces across the arena floor and conveniently lands on the drop zone, where it meets a whole load of bowling balls!Supreme Glory helpfully presses the pit release tyre and Dead Metal does the honours of grabbing Crimson Thunder, sawing through a couple of wires and dumping it in the pit of oblivion!
CEASE!
Crimson Thunder is struck by lightining, MeCannibal 2.0 and Supreme Glory Omega go through to the semi-finals!

Round 1, Battle 2:
Worck v Weapon Synergy v Sithis

After a vicious opening to the tournament Worck, Weapon Synergy and Sithis all line up for another three-way smash!

Helping them smash each other to pieces from the restraints of the CPZs will be Shunt with his phenomenal pushing power and Cassius Chrome with his...er...wiggling bum!

Worck is the most practical design in this three-way melee, but dont underestimate this robot as it was the first to defeat the winner of the first belt,Nidhogg.It did so in style, flipping Nidhogg right OOTA!

Weapon Synergy is the most original of the three!A FIVE-way clusterbot, Daniel has given each cluster a different weapon:Axe, flipper, claw, rammer and disc.Watch out!But each part only ways 20kg, so theyd better watch out for Worck!
Luckily for Daniel this tournament supports the 100% clusterbot rule, meaning all parts of the cluster must be immobilised before it is eliminated.

Sithis is an invertible full body spinner, and has fought in the challenge belt just once before, losing to Nidhogg.Its an FBS, and could rip Weapon Synergy up into teeny weeny little pieces!Teenier weenier pieces, that is!

Weapon Synergy splits up, rammer pressing the pit release and disc spinning up ready for an attack. However, flipper wasnt so decisive and Worck slips in underneath, flipping it OOTA!One down already, four to go!Worck then gets behind axe and flips it into Sithis!Axe is no more than a pile of parts now, as it lies broken on the floor! Sithis, however spins up again and slams into Worck!Worck spins across the arena floor right into the open arms of Claw, which grabs hold of it!However Worck has the weight advantage by 80kg and pushes Claw into Sithis! Claw loses a wheel and is checked up on by refbot!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!
Claw is eliminated, which leaves just two parts of weapon synergy to battle it out!Disc powers up and slams into Worck, loosening a side panel and sending it spinning into Sithis, which rips off the side panel completely! Worck takes after Disc, but Sithis attacks again, ripping a drive motor out of Worck!The wedge aimlessly drives in cricles, then Rammer gets in at the side and pushes it into the pit!
CEASE!
What a turn around!Weapon Synergy gets through the match with just two parts remaining!Sithis was never bothered, and for once originality proved to be good as the average wedge is eliminated!

1)Sithis v MeCannibal 2.0
2)Supreme Glory Omega v Weapon Synergy
Tactics/Predictions?

Challenge Belt

Sithis vs. MeCannibal 2.0: I feel confident, as I have more power, and I have a more solid protection than he does, as my ring is unbreakable, but his ring isnt. Im going to spin up easily and just shock-kill him.

I bet Im going to face Daniel in the Heat Final, but with Supreme Glory Omega.

Good luck Danny :wink:

Semi-Final 1:Sithis v MeCannibal 2.0

The two ring spinners go head to head for that all-important place in the final!MeCannibal 2.0s got it all in terms of speed and power, but perhaps Sithis can out-manouevre the shufflebot...

Here to represent the house robot team we have a third spinner, Matilda, accompanied by Sgt.Bash who I hear is planning a mega-inferno!

Sithis is a wheelbot, so is the slightly more practical design out of the two!However, in round one originality paid off so this could be in an interesting bout!

MeCannibal 2.0 is a former holder of the belt.They destroyed Crimson Thunder then and in round one, can they decimate Sithis today?

Both robots spin up and head towards each other. MeCannibal is shuffling at full speed towards its opponent, and Sithis is going for am-all out slam!
CRASH!
The two spinners collide and the result is catastrophic, for Sithis anyway!MeCannibal is the heavier and more powerful spinner and therefore sent Sithis cartwheeling through the air with a huge gash in its spinner!However, Sithis is invertible and spins up before coming back for another attack!
CRASH!
Unfortunately for Danny MeCannibal was also spinning at full speed, and Sithiss finds itself spinning again, this time towards Matildas CPZ!
CRASH!
Matilda moons Sithis and as it flies through the air we see that Matildas disc caught it in the gash made by MeCannibal earlier on, ripping off the top armour plate! Sithis lands upside down on the arena floor, its innards staring up at the ceiling!MeCannibal comes in for another attack and sends Sithis spinning away again, this time flipping it over!Sithis comes to rest on the flame pit, and all those internal workings are going up in smoke with no armour to protect them!
Refbot comes in and nudges Sithis, which doesnt respond!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!
Sithis is hit by Matildas dangerous arse and flies OOTA!
CEASE!
MeCannibal 2.0 knocks Sithis out for the count, as its drive motors went up in smoke!MeCannibal goes on to the final!

Semi-Final 2:Supreme Glory Omega v Weapon Synergy

Daniel has been drawn up against himself!I did this without realising, but at least it will be an interesting final no matter what the outcome of this battle!

The house robots chosen to spice up this battle are Growler and Sgt.Bash!This is going to be a true inferno, as if you think back growler had a flamethrower bum added for Extreme 2!

Supreme Glory Omega defeated MeCannibal during the second belt, so I would imagine Daniel is hoping for a rematch!

Weapon Synergy is the first clusterbot to enter the challenge belt, and what a way to start!Its a really original idea, and proved in round one that its not punching above its weight here in the challenge belt!

The clusterbot splits up and Disc spins up its flywheel!Claw runs in on the attack and tries to get in behind Supreme Glory while Flipper disrracts Daniel!The tactic works and Disc comes in to rip off the side panel!Supreme Glory drags Claw across the arena, but Rammer comes in and pushes from the front, holding Supreme Glory in a pincer-like movement!Disc comes in on the attack again and rips out a drive motor!Axe then comes in and puts its weapon through one of Supreme Glorys battery packs!Once again Disc attacks and rips out the other drive motor on that side!
Claw lets go and rammer drives away, as Supreme Glory is limited to going in circles now anyway!
Flipper comes in and turns it over, allowing axe to take aim at the vunerable under-belly!
SLAM!
Theres now a sizeable hole in the bottom of Supreme Glory, which self-rights and hits flipper with its axe, hitting the gas bottle! Flipper vents all over the arena floor, but there are still four clusters with active weaponry and Disc strikes a fourth time, ripping out another battery pack! Theres very little powering Supreme Glory now, and as its only going in circles anyway refbot comes in to count it out!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!
Supreme Glory is out of the fight!Growler grabs hold and spins it around, letting it fly into Sgt.Bash. who grabs hold and places it carefully on the arena floor flipper!
FLIP!
Supreme Glory flies through the air and bounces right OOTA!
CEASE!
Supreme Glory Omega was outnumbered 5 to 1 and outclassed by Daniels new clusterbot, Weapon Synergy which progresses to the final to meet MeCannibal 2.0!
