Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

PART 2
Welcome back to Battlebots. If you just joined us, you missed an epic, yet destructive encounter against Radioactive and Against. But now, were moving up a weight class, with Middleweights Bonz and Purer. Lets see what THESE robots have for us...

Bonz is basically a tiny cylinder shaped robot, capable of reaching speeds of 15mph, with four tiny titanium maces on the side. It was created by Andre Ydolly.

Purer is a more conventional looking machine, an invertable box and the main weapon, which is a low pressure flipper. Hes faster at 18mph, and was created by Daniel, from Team Britespark.

Now, looking at it, itd appear Purer has this match wrapped up. Youd think that the tiny Bonz would be no threat whatsoever. Well, well see. Lets go down to the box.

Introducing first, in the red square to my left...hes insane, but deadly. Hes got guts, and he wants some of yours. Here is...BONZ!!

And his oppodent, in the blue square to my right...hes been described as the perfect robot, and nows his chance to put up or shut up. Hes better than pure at heart, hes...PURER!!

THE BOX IS LOCKED, THE LIGHTS ARE ON, ITS ROBOT FIGHTING TIME!!

The beefier middleweights charge straight out to the centre of the battlebox. Purer, being the faster, bycrosses the centre first, gets underneath Bonz...Oh! And hes managed to turn him onto his side without even flipping him! He got underneath Bonz at the right angle, and just drove him onwards. And now Bonz is in massive trouble. Basically, hes too tall to be able to fall back over. He can roll, but only as far as his maces allow him. And Purer...wheres Purer going? Oh, hes gone back to his square. He feels hes done enough...heck, we ALL know hes done enough. Hes incapacitated Bonz, he just needs to wait for the countdown. Oh, and there it goes...And....

*BUZZ!!*

No contest in the end. And it was all over in a matter of seconds.

THE WINNER, BY KNOCKOUT, IN THE BLUE SQUARE, PURER!!

And maybe next time, Andre wont enter such a tall robot.

NEXT TIME: Its Heavyweight time, when Back To Rock 3 tussles with Sir Spinalot.

ffffff>Lets see...I wonder when Andre will complain...maybe in the next few minutes maybe?

Good fight anyway }

[dinowarrior]

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

Yes, this is my way of dealing with less-than-accurate robots.

[kodster]

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

Good strategy, I must confess.

[joey_picus]

PREDICTION:
Back To Rock to get in past the spinner, unless Andre gets a lucky hit in, and tip Spinalot on its side to win.

[Guest]

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

I predict...
Another of Andres bots to bite the dust.
Back to Rock III is too good for Sir Spinalot me thinks.

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

You are still doing this tourney right, Chris?
Im not telling you to hurry up or anything, do it at your own pace by all means I jst hope it hasnt died.

[dinowarrior]

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

Dont worry, its not being discontinued.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but Ive been busy with college work, and also some research concerning the actual show. Youll see why when the vapour competition is over.

[joey_picus]

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

...incidentally, what was the secret reason they couldnt be realies? Just out of curiosity.

[dinowarrior]

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

I may as well tell you.

That was part of the aforementioned research. Alongside the vapour tournament, I was intending to have an All-Stars tournament as well, featuring the eight top Battlebots from each weight division, in pretty much the same sort of tournament as what Im currently doing. So, basically, once I finish with the vapours, Ill be doing some realies as well.

And yes, there will be rumbles, for all eight sets.

[joey_picus]

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

Ah, that makes sense. *makes mental note to watch more Battlebots*

[Guest]

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

Thats great Chris. I was just wondering, but now Im happy again...
Its a while till any of my fights anyway. The first one will probably be E cLawdius Unum v System Shock, which Im probably gonna lose anyway unless I can push Steven onto the killsaws.
Good thing Im already redesigning System Shock, I know it hasnt even fought yet, but its old fashioned.

[dinowarrior]

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

For those wondering, I should have another fight written up on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

PART 3

Welcome back, Battlebots fanatics. Weve already got a lightweight and a middleweight through to the Semi-Finals, so now lets see if we can get a heavyweight in. Today, our competitors are Back To Rock 3 and Sir Spinalot. Lets check them out...

Back To Rock 3 was built by Martijn M Benschop of Team Varying Every Day. A box shape with a scoop, it has a large lifting arm which incorporates its own sawblade. He should be a tough bot to beat.

Sir Spinalot is another creation of Andre. Looking a lot like The Revolutionist, he has a large spinning bar surrounding his robot.

Anyway, were going ringside now...

Introducing first, in the red square to my left...hes the king of spin. Or, at least, he hopes to be. He wants to rule you with an iron fist, and his spinning blade. Please welcome...SIR SPINALOT!!

And his oppodent, in the blue square to my right...Theres nothing classic about him. He has no vibes, hates heavy metal and the only Pop youll get from him is when he bursts the balloons of other robots success. Hes...BACK TO ROCK 3!!

THE BOX IS LOCKED, THE LIGHTS ARE ON, ITS ROBOT FIGHTING TIME!!

And the first of our heavyweights come forward. They both travel at similar speeds, Back To Rock 3 being slightly the faster of the two. Sir Spinalots blade is starting to spin, but its so massive, it looks like Andre is having difficulty controlling it. Back To Rock 3 manages to get underneath Sir Spinalot. Sparks already start flying, as the saw blade cuts into the titanium. Back To Rock slowly starts to lift Sir Spinalot up. Sir Spinalot is raised higher and higher...a closer inspection of the underside reveals foam! Back To Rocks blade has managed to cut into one of the tyres. Thats not going to do him any favours...OH! And FINALLY, Sir Spinalot is on his back! The weight of his bar proved too much. Back To Rock 3 spins in celebration. Sir Spinalot just lies there. Hes twitching every so often, but he cannot self-right. His bar is just too large and too heavy for the self-righter on top to effectively knock him back over. Theres no way out here. And the referee is already counting down Andres second robot. Once again, he goes nowhere.

*BUZZ!*

And thats it. An easy victory. Now fast forward, and...

THE WINNER, BY KNOCKOUT, IN THE BLUE SQUARE, BACK TO ROCK 3!!

Not close by any definition.

NEXT TIME: Its the big boys. The Superheavyweights. And Sekhmet is ready to rumble. But will he be able to defeat the mighty Flick Of The Wrist? Well see.

[joey_picus]

Battlebots: Beyond The Battlebox

Uh...Sekhmets a girl, the only one out of all my creations

Tactics are up above.
