To Mark: NO! You lost. Get over it - BE A GOOD LOSER!
To Danny: Yes, Id like a match against you. Takes me back to Nitro-Genes first battle/win, as well as my first win . My plan is to let him charge at me - becuase of his speed, he has very little acceleration. So charge a few times at him, turn him over, just to score some points in cause it goes to the judges. But my main plan is to get him to slam himself into a wall, then knock him sideways, get my flipper under and just use a flick to get rid of him!
Right, simple enough. Ram the sides, I should get beneath the skirts with my speed and 0mm Ground Clearance. Once Ive got under, its generic rambot tactics. Ram it into the pit. I wont bother with any slams on the walls, that might leave me open to an OOTA.
OK Danny, but youll have to go near the walls to get the pit release button Keep the flipping about part, but if I get his sides, push him away towards the edge, then flip out. If he activates the pit release button, ram under the rear, and either flip out, or push him down.
And so begins Pauls third challenge belt match!Lets flashback and see how Nitro-Gene 4.0 has done so far...
VS.No Objections
Paul challenged Joey for the belt, and sent No Objections right OOTA!
VS.Cyrilium
Mark challenged Paul, but lost on a nailbiting judges decision.
How will Nitro-Gene fare against Crimson Thunder, a well-designed pushbot entered by Danny Bailey?Tonight well find out...
This hotly anticipated bout will be watched over by the 280kg house robot masterpiece Sir Killalot.He will be assisted by maniacal green bot with a taste for fire...Sgt.Bash!
Crimson Thunder plans to get Nitro-Gene into the pit, but doesnt want to stray to near the arena walls. The latter is bad for Paul, as he is opting to try and get in underneath Crimson Thunder to throw it out...This ones gonna be close...
Booth 1anny Bailey
Booth 2:Paul Cuomo
3,2,1, ACTIVATE!
Paul is the first to make his move, heading around the arena to try and attack Crimson Thunder from the side. However, Crimson Thunder is the faster bot and gets away, stopping in the center of the arena for a moment before heading up to the pit release and knocking the tyre off the wall!Refbot isnt happy, but nevertheless just looks on. Paul has realised Danny is next to the arena wall and comes speeding in to try and end the battle by OOTA, but once again Crimson Thunders speed pays off and Danny escapes. In frustration, Nitro-Gene overturns the refbot before giving chase! Crimson Thunder drives away and gets in line with the pit, but Paul isnt stupid and attacks Crimson Thunder from the side, ramming it into the arena wall!Crimson Thunder cannot move- its beached right on top pf Pauls robot right next to the arena wall!Paul lets rip, but Crimson Thunder, being on top of the robot is thrown backwards, away from the wall...But Paul doesnt give up that easily and follows, but his luck has changed as Crimson Thunder gets underneath Nitro-Gene!Seeing what may be his only hope to win the fight, Danny carefully steers Nitro-Gene towards the pit. Closer...Closer...Nitro-Gene fires its flipper at mid-air in desperation to escape, but to no avail as Crimson Thunder thrusts it down into the darkness!
CEASE!
Paul was on top for the most of the round, but clever tactics from Danny paid off and Crimson Thunder takes the challenge belt!
