Well, Im going to flip him upside-down and attack the base panel. If I constantly attack, I might loosen a panel from the base upwards and rip it off.

Another thing I can do is to get it near the edge and perform an X-Terminator style OOTA - I have the power to do so...

Good luck Joey :wink:

Nidhogg v Tri-Tanium
The winner to face Sithis (one thing Danny, what way is the cylinder?Like Barberous?)

This is gonna be one great big GRUDGE MATCH!
Can Pauls new robot Tri-Tainium defeat Nidhogg and take the challenge belt?Tonight well find out...
The Metal Maniacs representing the house robot team are Mr.Pyscho and our very own pyromaniac, Sgt.Bash!
How did this become a grudge match?Lets see...
1)Pauls robot Nitro-Gene 4.0 took the belt off Joeys machine, No Objections
2)Nidhogg took the belt off Pauls robot MeCannibal 2.0
This is third time these roboteers have clashed during the challenge belt competition- will it be the last?I doubt it, but the atmosphere in the arena wont get any hotter!
Booth 1:Joey McConnell
Booth 2:Paul Cuomo
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Tri-Tainium comes straight towards Nidhogg, which drives forward to meet its worthy opponent.At the last moment Paul tries to swerve around and get a side-attack on Nidhogg, but Joey was expecting it and so does the same, getting its forks underneath and lifting Tri-Tanium off the ground!With Paul suspended helplessly in the air Joey activates his crusher and it goes straight through one of Pauls tyres!Still clamping on hard Joey pulls Tri-Tanium across the arena and presses the pit release tyre before edging towards the chasm itself!Closer...Closer...Nidhogg drops Tri-Tanium right on the edge, and Paul escapes!However Nidhogg is also quick to get away from the chasm, and is ready to take on Tri-Tainium again!They head towards each other, and this time neither attempts to swerve. Unfortunately for Joey Tri-Tanium gets underneath and gets its powerful weaponry into play! It throws Nidhogg onto its back, revealing a huge gash in the base! Before Nidhogg can self-right Tri-Tanium attacks again, ripping off some of the self-righting spines, but also righting Nidhogg in the process.Nidhogg quickly turns and gets its forks underneath Paul, lifting Tri-Tanium into the air again!And once more the crusher comes in, this time going through the discs!Holding hard Nidhogg goes back towards the pit, and this time is successful in dumping Tri-Tainium in!
CEASE!
Nidhogg holds onto the belt, and awaits its next challenger, Sithis!

Hang on! Ive been pitted, but Ive won! Who won?

And also, how does Nidhogg self-right so quick - EACH TIME!

By the way, I plan to challenge the winner of the next battle with Nitro-Gene 4.0 (YES - HES BACK! )

I think its Nidhogg that held on to the belt Good fight Paul, though, and Nidhogg self rights at about the speed of Razer - not exactly slow, but slow compared to pneumatic self righter/flippers.

ANYWAY, TACTICS:

Exactly the same ones as I used for MeCannibal: Box rush. Get over there before Sithis can spin up, try and ram underneath it and kerrunch. Hopefully. If that doesnt work, try and come in when it is spinning and do the same. Once I have hold, do a Razer and put it straight into the pit. If the claw is taken out for any reason, use the forks and push it into the house robots or the flame pit - he has 4 wheels to my 2, and considering his shape I may be more manuverable.

Good luck Danny :wink:

No, its horizontal, like Typhoon but not conical.

Edit:
For Nidhogg, Ill play keep away until I get to full spin speed, then, I should be able to deflect Nidhogg when it attacks. Just keep it from getting a gripe on me, and deliver a few telling blows.

Challenge Belt

Nidhogg v Sithis
This one is going to be REALLY close.If Nidhogg wins Joey keeps the belt, but Danny wants it and Sithis could be the robot to do it!
Overseeing the match from the CPZs will be Cassius Chrome and the old favourite, Sir Killalot.
Sithis is a cylinder shaped ring spinner that has the potential to send Nidhogg home in bin-bags, but can it avoid that powerful crusher and Joeys favourite tactic, the pit?
Booth 1anny Bailey
Booth 2:Joey McConnell
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Nidhogg drives straight in on the attack, but Sithis runs away while it spins up. When it has spin up Nidhogg has decided on a different plan and has pressed the pit release before hiding behind the pit!This puts a big chasm between itself and Sithis, but its a very cowardly act and wont gain any points for aggression should this go to a judges decision.Sithis isnt bothered much and carefully side steps the pit.
CRASH!
It hits Nidhoggs fleeing backside and rips off the panel, sending Nidhogg flying into the arena wall!Before Sithis can attack the rear again Nidhogg spins around and lifts the cylinder with its forks!Maneouvering carefully towards the pit, Joey lowers the crusher into Sithis internal workings, piercing the top armour and damaging who-knows-what on the inside!Having speared the top armour Nidhogg lifts Sithis into the air and shows the delighted crowd before trying to dump Sithis into the pit.Problem is, how do you get it off the crusher?Joey has no idea and so drives away, instead toasting Sithis over the flame pit. Finally Sithis falls off the crusher, and Nidhogg backs away warily, ready to try its pit tactic again. But Sithis isnt going anywhere!
Refbot comes in to check it out.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!
CEASE!
In the pits Danny shows us that Nidhogg pierced one NIcad battlepack with its crusher and roasted the other two which were of course exposed by the hole made by Nidhogg.
And so Nidhogg is the first robot to make 3 successful defences, meaning Joey keeps this first challenge belt forever!

*deep breath*

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO! GO NIDHOGG!
Good fight though, Danny, I need to do something about that armour, it comes off against spinners way too easily. Good fights as well, Liam

Well, Im back into it with Nitro-Gene, who wants the belt back! No complex plan here - just flip him onto his back, and let him self-right onto my wedge again, this so hell say stuck. Then push him to the nearest wall and go for the OOTA.

Good luck Joey :wink:

Nidhogg v Nitro-Gene 4.0
The first battle for the second belt!Can anyone stop Nidhogg?Its tactics may not be original, but they win alright!
In the CPZs are Growler and Mr.Pyscho.You wouldnt want to meet them on a dark night!Or a sunny day, for that matter.
Nitro-Gene is an ex holder of the belt.It flipped No Objections OOTA, beat Cyrilium on a JD before losing to Crimson Thunder.
Now its back, with identical stats but a whopping load of determination- will it be enough to take the belt from Nidhogg?
Nidhogg is thus far unbeaten in this competition.Could that end here?
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Nitro-Gene goes straight in on the attack, getting around Nidhoggs forks and ramming the side.
FLIP!
Nidhogg sails through the air!
CRASH!
And lands- in Growlers CPZ!The jaws fit perfectly around the side of Nidhoggs wedge and Growler goes into a spin!
CRASH!
Nidhogg, is launched across the arena and lands on the flame pit, where Nitro-Gene is waiting!
FLIP!
Nidhogg is flipped up and over, and self-rights- back onto Nitro-Genes wedge!Nitro-Gene edges to the wall and lets rip again!
Nidhogg flies up into the air, sailing down in a graceful arc before landing in a very awkward position- Its wedge is inside the arena, but the claw is hanging out!Nitro-Gene cant really flip them from there, and so must let refbot right Nidhogg, which it does.Nidhogg then quickly reverses back into the center of the arena, meaning its back to square one for Paul!And this time when Nitro-Gene comes back on the attack Nidhogg is ready, lifting Paul with its forks and going in with the crusher!It pierces a tyre and lifts Nitro-Gene high into the air!Joey carries it across the arena to the pit release tyre!The siren wails and Nitro-Gene is being taken closer and closer to the chasm!Right on the edge and Nidhogg takes its forks down, lowers the crusher as far as it can go and holds Nitro-Gene over the pit, waiting for it to fall. Refbot comes in to check if both robots are still moving.
1,2...
Of course, Nidhogg is still moving and reverses to try and loosen Nitro-Gene, which falls onto its wedge!Paul tries to escape, but Joey is too quick and lifts Nitro-Gene with its forks before pushing it into the pit!
CEASE!
Nidhogg holds the second belt- but for how much longer?

Challenge Belt

No!!! Well done Joey, but I want that belt - I need the belt as my trousers are falling down without it

Meet WORCK:

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. The internals are protected by 5cm of Vulkanised rubber mounted on all sides.

€ 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 front is obviously 0mm. 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.

Good luck Joey
