Robot SMASH!!

Eliminator 24/32:
Flick of the Wrist v Dennis the Menace

FOTW is the challeng belt holder, a powerful rambot with 6 wheels and lifting spikes.

Dennis the Menace is another box, albeit an oddly shaped one with a powerful spinning drum.

Booth 1: Martijn M Benschop
Booth 2: Daniel Stickler

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Dennis immediately starts spinning up, but Flicky box-rushes and lifts it with the spikes and pins it against the grinder! An impressive start, and now Martijn goes on another slam, this time into the pit release tyre! The siren wails and Dennis falls off the spikes and comes on the attack itself, slamming into flicky with obth the dirve and weapon at full speed and power!
CRASH!
Flick somersualts sideways, and we can see some damage to the side panel! And now it falls right off! But Martijn is quick to recover and lifts Dennis again, this time carrying Daniel to the pit!
PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT
The crowd want it, and they get it!

IN A PUFF OF SMOKE ITS ALL OVER!

Flick of the Wrist menaces Dennis and goes through to the heat semi-finals!

MeCannibal 2.0 v Seung Mina IV

Good! Exactly the bot I wanted to fight. Its quite a dangerous spinner, but even though I have 3.25mm Hardox armour, it can be bolted on better and is therefore less susceptible to having whole panels torn off, and even thin Hardox is hard to tear, so good luck getting through it. :wink:

Normal tactics...well, I have a shatload more torque and drive power so basically just flip and push the damn thing all over the place. Then when Im bored...OOTA or pit, your choice.

Sakura vs. Flick of the Wrist

I think Flicky can pull off an upset here.

T.R.E.D.T.H.A.L vs. Micro-Gore

Wooty fights Liam - VERY good, and get better every time - imagine what the final will be like :wink:

MeCannibal 2.0 v Seung Mina IV: Oh poot! I nearly always face Kody robots and very rarely win any of those battles. But my plan is quite simple - analysing that design, its design to fight with powerful flippers and spinners designed to rip panels off. I can do that, but I can dent armour as well. However, my mine target will be that weapon - its 9mm G5 Ti - Ill hit the flipper time after time until it BREAKS OFF! If it doesnt break, hit the sides and hope I can dent the armour onto the wheels to prevent them from turning. DO NOT let him get under - if he does, I possibly wont survive. Stay in the centre of the ring, go for his fipper and skirts and hope I can win through.

Good luck Kody :wink:

Sakura v Flick of the Wrist: I believe that we may see a shock and Sakura may batter that armour on Flick. It depends, but if that spinner stops, Ill side with Martijn. If it doesnt stop...GO FRANK!

Special Event- Featherweight Semi-Final 2/2:
T.R.E.D.T.H.A.L v Micro-Gore

T.R.E.D.T.H.A.L defeated Arrgh in the heats, easily lifting and pitting its opponent.

Micro-Gore got to grips with Katnip in the last round, vertical crusher beats horizontal crusher.

Booth 1: Steven McGregor
Booth 2: Kody Kunz

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Both bots get up to a quick start, they head towards each other, both ready for some action! Micro-Gore manages to get its claw around T.R.E.D.T.H.ALs scoop, and tries to drag Steven across the arena to the pit release tyre. But T.R.E.D.T.H.A.L has a 6kg weight advantage and pushes Micro-Gore back across the arena, then lifts it up into the air! Kody hangs from the scoop for a moment, then lets go and comes crashing to the ground! He quickly gets that claw underneath while the scoop is raised and pushes it while whacking it with the axe! Kody just absorbs the blows and takes Steven to the pit release tyre! But now Steven presses down with the scoop ,bringing his tracks down onto the floor and pushing Micro-Gore across the arena, into the pit!

THE SECOND FW SEMI IS OVER!

A great turn-around by T.R.E.D.T.H.A.L and he goes through to the final!

Heat Semi-Final 11/16:
MeCannibal 2.0 v Seung Mina IV

MeCannibal is a scary ring spinner with a 30kg weapon. Its also a shufflebot and can run inverted.

Seung Mina IV is the one to watch in this tournament, mainly because of its victory in The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008.

Booth 1: Paul Cuomo
Booth 2: Kody Kunz

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

MeCannibal immediately starts spinning up, and Seung Mina comes in on the attack, but MeCannibal smacks into the weapon! Mina spins away, but quickly recovers and catches up with MeCannibal, getting underneath and throwing Paul high into the air!
CRASH!
He falls to earth with a bump, and immediatly spins up, this time pulling around to attack the side of Seung Mina! The skirt is left buckled and bent, but Kody wasnt knocked away much by the impact and gets underneath again, this time pushing MeCannibal right across the arena and into the pit release tyre! MeCannibal is right on the flipper anway, so Kody decides to give Paul some airtime!
MeCannibal flies up into the air, then crashes down onto the rails, breaking the arena wall! Then manages to shuffle of the wreck of the wall to stay in the arena!

THE MATCH IS STOPPED TO REPAIR THAT WALL!

5 MINS LATER

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

MeCannibal spins up and attacks Minas flipper again, and this time theres a gash in one of the bars! But Kody doesnt give up easily and comes back on a stronger attack, getting underneath MeCannibal and instead of flipping simply pushes it around and then into the pit!

THE FIRST HEAT SEMI-FINAL IS OVER!

Seung Mina IV goes onto the heat final, MeCannibal rests in the pit!

Heat Semi-Final 12/16:
Sakura v Flick of the Wrist

Sakura knocked another bot with lifting forks OOTA in round one, I dont doubt Frank hopes to do that again!

FOTW sprung a surprise on us all in the eliminator, pitting Dennis the Menace despite taking some heavy damage from the menacing drum.

Booth 1: Frank Goacher
Booth 2: Martijn M Benschop

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Sakura starts spinning, but in comes Flicky and tips it over with the spikes! Sakura self-rights, but Martijn was ready and flips it again, then this time pushes it onto the flame pit! Once more Sakura self-rights, and again Flick turns it over! And another push from Martijn, this time into the angle grinder! Sakura tries to use that srimech, but Martijn pins her there before reversing and slamming in hard! Frank self-rights again, and escapes to spin up! Now its Flick that should be running as Sakura runs in on a side onslaught!
CRASH!
A gash in the side panel. but now Martijn flips Sakura again and pushes it into the corner! Frank self-rights, but is flipped by the spike and has to self-right again! Martijn doesnt relent and follows up the attack, ramming Sakura into the corner and hoisting into the air again! Frank is almost going out, almost! And then, the operator of our arena spike realises Martijns rear wheels are on the arena spike and hits the button! The result was just the extra lift Martijn needed and Frank tumbles out of the arena!

THE SECOND HEAT SEMI-FINAL IS OVER!

Another surprise sprung by Flick and Martijn heads through to meet Seung Mina IV in the heat F Final!

Coming Next: The second middleweight semi-final!
T-Minus v Solstice 2.0

Robot SMASH!!

Poot for Micro-Gore , w00t for Seung Mina IV.

Seung Mina IV vs. Flick of the Wrist

Time to experiment. Ill swap the plate for the aforementioned spikes on the flipper to get underneath Flicks own forks. Other than that, flip, push, kill.

T-Minus v Solstice 2.0

Already stated.

FEATHERWEIGHTS
FINAL
Skink VS T.R.E.D.T.H.A.L.

Flipping a flipper wont do much good methinks. TREDTHAL will try to get under Skinks sides, clamp it with the axe and use those mighty tracks to try and dump it down the pit.

Special Event- Middleweight Semi-Final 2/2:
T-Minus v Solstice 2.0

T-Minus won the season 5.0 battlebots middleweight championship. Its a powerful flipper, and has already defeated Claw and Axe from Weapon Synergy in this tournament.

Solstice 2.0 is a ring spinner entered by Kody Kunz. Its invertable and destroyed the powerful Killoteeny in round one.

Booth 1: Martijn M Benschop
Booth 2: Kody Kunz

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Solstice immediately starts spinning up, and T-Minus comes in, a tad more tentative than wed expect. Kody suddenly shocks Martijn by swing Solstice around and slamming into the wheel guard, which is torn straight off! T-Minus then gets underneath and fires the flipper, throwing Solstice high into the air! But when Kody lands he wastes no time and spins up again to come back on the attack!
CRASH!
Hes hit the exposed wheel and now the tyre is history! T-Minus is left going in circles and Solstice comes in again, this time targeting the flipper!
CRASH!
T-Minus is suddenly hidden by a cloud- the gas supply has been ruptured! And still no mercy from Solstice as Kody spins up again and wreaks havoc once more!
CRASH!
T-Minus is picked up off the floor by the force of the impact and is launched for the full length of our arena, coming to rest on the flame pit!

(in the immortal words of Homer Simpson)
THATS THE END OF THAT CHAPTER!

T-Minus is going in circles, so is eliminated!
The robot meeting Life in the MW final is Solstice 2.0!

Coming Next: The Heat F final
Seung Mina IV v Flick of the Wrist

Robot SMASH!!

Heat F Final
Seung Mina IV v Flick of the Wrist

Lets see how these two machines made it this far...
1) Seung Mina IV flipped Metal Sonic Spin Dash around and won on a judges decision.
2) Flick of the Wrist shocked everyone by lifting Dennis the Menace and pitting the powerful spinner despite losing a side panel.
3) Seung Mina returned to the arena, this time to trash MeCannibal 2.0, who trashed the wall! The battle was restarted and Mina pitted her opponent in style!
4) Flick of the Wrist had another tough bout, this time with Sakura, who was thrust OOTA with a little help from the arena spike!

Incidentally, these two robots are the main winners of my two previous tournaments!
1) When in her previous incarnation Seung Mina flipped Cat with Wheels, Storm II, Behemoth, E Clawdius Unum and Calm Down Dear (Its only a robot) to win The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008!
2) Flick of the Wrist also competed in the Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008, but lost in round 2 to The Zenith. Before that however, it had a tremendous victory in not one, but TWO challenge belts, defeating three awesome machines (including the winner of Heat B, Supreme Glory Omega) to claim the first, then quelling the challenge from MeCannibal 2.0 to get the third!

Booth 1: Kody Kunz
Booth 2: Martijn M Benschop

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Theyre off! Kody has opted to switch to his spikes instead of the plate for this mtach, and it seems to help as Seung Mina IV slickly slips under the side of Flick of the Wrist and throws it into the air! Martijn comes crashing down, but Flick is invertable and now comes back on the attack, getting the forks under Mina before the flipper comes down and hoisting Kody into the air before ramming him across the arena floor!
CRASH!
Mina hits the wall and bounces away, but lands the right way up and comes back on the attack, flipping Flick of the Wrist again! But Martijn is quick to recover and tries a side attack, succeeding only in pushing Mina onto the flame pit, which does nothing.
And now its Kody back on the attack, getting under the rear of Flick and ramming Martijn into the angle grinder before giving him some airtime! Flick almost goes OOTA, but flies too much sideways from the angle of that flip and now rams Kody from under the flipper again, flipping him right over with the spikes and pushing him against the grinder! Mina self-rights and escpaes, then turns to attack Flick herself! Martijn drives up onto the flipper and is thrown over again, but this time Kody rams from behind and stacks Martijn in the corner! Hastily Mina rushes in to finish Flick off, but is flipped by the arena spike! Kody self-rights, but now time has run out!

WE GO TO A JD!

Seung Mina IV: Flick of the Wrist:
Damage- 3/5 3/5
Aggression- 4/5 3/5
Style- 3/5 2/5
Control- 3/5 2/5
Overall- 13/20 10/20

Seung Mina IV pulls off the win by just three points and goes on to the series finals!

Eliminator 25/32:
Haardvark v Storm II

Haardvark was a semi-finalist in robot wars 2, but failed to mkae any progress in series 3 at all, breaking down in the first round.

Storm II is another veteran of Robot Wars, winning the new blood and finishing runner-up in series 7.

Booth 1: Joey McConnell
Booth 2: Paul Cuomo

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Storm II gets a very quick start, pressing the pit release and running back down the arena, slamming into Haardvark! The whole machine rolls over after the impact, and Paul follows it up by using Storms lifter to flip Joey back onto his wheels! But now Storm II gets underneath again, this time pushing Haardvark in a wide arc and into the pit!

IT LASTED JUST 19 SEC0NDS!!

And with that Storm II goes onto the heat semi-final!

Coming Next:
Gravity v Killotine: EVO

Robot SMASH!!

w00t! Go Solstice! Go Seung Mina!

[steven_mcg]

Robot SMASH!!

Gravity may have a very powerful flipper, but it also has a moderate ground clearance and a tendency to wheelie (in RW7 anyway). Killotine will try to get under Gravitys sides, grapple it with the axe and use its superior push to dump it in the pit before it can wriggle free.

[kodster]

Robot SMASH!!

Ah, yes, I forgot my tactics.

Life vs. Solstice 2.0

Doesnt matter if Life has a front 4mm Hardox wedge: my blades are long enough to strike it without him impacting into the main body, and send him flying, and thatll score me points even if its not damaged. Ill probably get knocked away too, but then I can spin up while he recovers. If he gets at the main body, just drive right up onto and over his wedge. Try to be more aggressive than he will be, and KEEP HITTING IT, mainly those lovely sides and rear.

[joey_picus]

Robot SMASH!!

SCITCAT:

Box rush. Try and get over there before it can spin up, and go for the OOTA...if I cant get in there before he spins up to dangerous speeds, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DRIVE INTO THE SPINNER. Ill try and keep to the arena walls and get Solstice to hit something other than me, like the walls or flipper, and that should slow down or stop the spinner so I can get underneath, or even better, kill it through shock damage. I might also try and lure it over the spikes or flipper, but try and do so while keeping my front to him so as not to expose too much. Only use the flipper if I can flip him into the pit or OOTA...

Good luck Kody

Eliminator 26/32:
Gravity v Killotine: EVO

Gravity was a semi-finalist of RW7, beaten by the then-champions Tornado when they were bulldozed into the pit.

Killotine: EVO is an evolution of Killotine, it has a powerful axe similar to that of Killerhurtz, and also has superior pushing power so Gravity is reliving its worse nightmare- with an axe!

Booth 1: Mark Elam
Booth 2: Steven McGregor

5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!

Off they go, and its Killotine that draws first blood, slamming into the side of Gravity and bringing the axe crashing down to make a nice hole in the flipper! Gravity flips the axe away and comes around on its own attack, getting behind Killotine: EVO throwing it high into the air! Steven lands upside down, but quickly self-rights and reverses right up and over Gravity before slamming under the rear and using the axe as a front-hinged flipper to turn Mark onto his back! Gravity self-rights, but Killotine is ready and slams down with the axe before the flipper is shut, and co2 starts venting all over the arena! Now Killotine keeps hold as Steven said he would and slams Gravity into the pit release tyre! The siren wails, and the crowd express their true feelings!
PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT
And they get what they want!

KILLOTINE: EVO DEFIES GRAVITY!

The axe beats the flipper and Killotine: EVO goes through!
