Heat A:Final
The Zenith v Calm Down Dear

The first heat final!I can barely wait!

The house robots literally cant.There was a small debate about who would represent the house robot team that turned violent, ending (after lots of bum wiggling from Cassius Chrome...Sigh) when Growler got pinched on the nose by a cheesed off Dead Metal. When any human dared enter the workshop Matilda and Sgt Bash were finally picked as the representatives, mainly because Matilda wants sweet revenge on David and Shunt was still a bit queasy.

The Zeniths wedges could help it succeed where Sithis failed. It can flip Calm Down Dear around just as well as David can in turn.

David will have to have his wits about him in this round, as Matilda has got a VERY close eye on him...Is it revenge?On the contrary, I believe...ROMANCE..........NAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT!

Booth 1:Kody Kunz
Booth 2avid Sheppard
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Kody spins up and heads towards David, who is getting ready to fire the flipper.
CRASH!
Calm Down is flipped, but quickly self-rights and gets under The Zenith!
FLIP!
The Zenith spins to get away from David and self-rights, but Calm Down is there and flips it again, this time righting it only to flip it again, all the while pushing it towards the wall!
FLIP!
The Zenith somersaults, but doesnt go high enough and crashes into the arena wall!
Kody quickly self-rights and escapes, spinning up again!
CRASH!
Once again it turns Calm Down over, but David repeats his earlier tactics and self-rights quickly to retaliate by flipping his opponent again!Kody self-rights and starts spinning up, but Calm Down is quick and flips it towards the arena wall!Kody self-rights and tries to escape but Calm Down has already cut off The Zeniths options!
FLIP!
Kody hits the camera tracks as The Zenith is flipped OOTA!
CEASE!
Calm Down Dear wins the first heat and qualifies for the grand final!

Tune in for Heat B!

ah small bit of advice I wanna give Liam, leave at least 24 hours between 2 fights of 1 bot

on Monday, March 24, 2008 - 4:29 pm you posted Flick of the Wrists round 1 battle, for which I gave tactics

on Monday, March 24, 2008 - 8:13 pm Flicks round 2 battle was up, I was away between the 2 battles and had no way to give tactics... of course you dont HAVE to have my tactics, but for some opponents I DO have some special plans in my mind and Id like to be given the time to post them

Heat B:Round 1, Battle 1
Iron Awe 5 v Nitro-Gene 4.0 v Crimson Thunder

The first melee of Heat B gets underway, 2 powerful flippers and an invertible rammer...

Also there are 2 house robots, Shunt and Cassius Chrome!

Iron Awe 5 is a powerful realie ranked 3rd in last years UK championships.It won the 2007 Winter Tour, dispatching Envy, Beast and Kan Opener in the finals!

Nitro-Gene 4.0 is another flipper, but this one is nitrogen powered and packs more ramming power than Iron Awe.

Crimson Thunder previously defeated Nitro-Gene in the challenge belt, so Danny will want a repeat performance here!

Booth 1:Kody Kunz
Booth 2:Paul Cuomo, Danny Bailey
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Crimson Thunder heads straight for the pit release as Iron Awe runs in to attack Nitro-Gene!
FLIP!
Nitro-Gene does a somersault, but lands on its feet and chases after Crimson Thunder!
FLIP!
Crimson Thunder is given a flying lesson as its hurled up into the air, only to come crashing down onto Iron Awe!
FLIP!
Crimson Thunder flies again, this time landing in Shunts CPZ!Shunt lifts Danny and pushes him out of the CPZ to fend for himself!
Crimson Thunder gets underneath the side of Iron Awe 5 and rams Kody across the arena, towards the pit!
This is an unexpected twist, but however unexpected it is its happening as Iron Awe falls into the darkness!
CEASE!
What at turn around!Despite getting battered early on Crimson Thunder pits Iron Awe, so Crimson Thunder and Nitro-Gene 4.0 go through!

Heat B:Round 1, Battle 2
Sheer Heart Attack 2 v PCC v E Clawdius Unum

The second melee is about to start- Roboteers, Standby!

The house robots waiting in the CPZs in this round will be Mr. Pyscho and Sir Killalot!

Sheer Heart Attack 2 is a very original drum design, with tracks and wedges at the rear.

PCC has over 8 weapon setups, and unsurprisingly David says he designed while high on drugs!

E Clawdius Unum has a high pressure crushing claw, powerful enough to show either opponent how its done!

Booth 1:Martijn M Benschop, David Sheppard
Booth 2:Steven McGregor
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Clawdius heads off into the center of the arena with its eye on PCC, which is using its pie-tosser flipper. So far Sheer Heart Attack is keeping quiet, spinning up to deliver a fatal blow? Any how Clawdius decides it wants a piece of PCC and heads in Davids direction, getting in underneath and attacking with the crusher!But David slips off the wedge and rams Clawdius across the arena, onto the Co2 jet where on of its skirts are lifted up! This gives David a chance and he takes it, slipping in underneath Steven to get that weapon into play!
FLIP!
Clawdius goes head over heels, but lands on its wheels and hurries off to attack Sheer Heart Attack 2! Martijn drives up onto Clawdius wedge, causing damage to the armour and avoiding the claw!Steven cant attack because Sheer Heart Attack has almost no bodywork for Steven to get that claw into! Meanwhile PCC comes in from behind and turns them both over!
Sheer Heart Attack runs away as Clawdius attempts to self-right, but its too slow as PCC is underneath again!
FLIP!
Clawdius flies once more, but lands on its wheels and turns around to attack Sheer Heart Attack from the side! Steven gets underneath and crushes the track from the top, immobiliing one half of Martijns machine! Steven then picks it up and toasts it over the flame pit before dumping onto an angle grinder!
PCC then comes in to finish the beached Martijn off!
FLIP!
Like the pies that weapon was intended for Sheer Heart Attack 2 is flipped out of the fight and the competition!
PCC and E Clawdius Unum go through!

The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008

my prediction is that whoever wins out of Clawdius and Nitro shall win the heat

Use my superior control to get round the sides, slide under the skirts from the corners and chew up those lovely wheels. Grapple n pit.

I need to wait for David to tell us what weapon setup PCC will be using before I can carry on writing the heat.

Good plan Steven. But there are a few things that I have in my favour - the skirts on Nitro-Gene 4.0 link up at the Corners, so Stevens plan wont work so well. In addition, my armour should prevent him from hurting me, and my wheels are quite hard to grab or damage.

In my favour also is my MASSIVE power advantage. I think has has 18hp - I have 36hp, and I (think) I have more traction, so I should get under. My plan is flip him over the walls - I can get under him no issue, I can push him no issue, and so I feel confident.

Good luck Steven :wink:

So Crimson Thunder is a passive ram-bot. However at 30 mph it might prove to be a bit uncontrollable at times, and those hinged skirts.

I shall fit the vertical drum weapon and dodge any forward facing attacks and try and hit the sides with the drum to cause some damage and swing the judges decision.
