Robot SMASH!!

Eliminator 27/32:
Tempest Evil-est-oution v Dervish V

Tempest is a powerful ring spinner that runs inverted. Its heavily shockproofed, but is only a 2-wheel drive so dont expect it to do any ramming.

Dervish V is much like Barberous, a spinning invertable cylinder with wheels on either side and lots of power!

Booth 1: Frank Goacher
Booth 2: Daniel Stickler

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

Both bots spin up and head across the arena. At each other? Nope, theyre both spinning up to top speed! Now they head into a straight line (did they plan this!?), but suddenly Frank stops all the monotous stuff and speeds straight at the side wheel of Dervish!
CRASH!
The tyre flies off and now Frank spins up again as Dervish limps around!
CRASH!
In comes Tempest again and now that wheel is history! The drum of Dervish is now tearing chunks out of the floor, and so in comes Frank to put Daniel out of his misery!
CRASH!
Into the drum itself this time, and Dervish is thrown across the arena!

5,4,3,2,1, IMMOBILE!

Dervish V is over and out, Tempest Evil-est-oution goes through!

Coming Next:

Eliminator 28/32:
Super Gore Evo v Axe to Fall

Super Gore Evo finished 4th in The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008. Its a powerful gripping robot, bit those tracks are exposed from the top.

Guess what weapon Axe to Fall uses. No Mark, its not a flipper. ITS A BLOODT GREAT AXE, THATS WHAT IT IS!

Booth 1: Kody Kunz
Booth 2: Martijn M Benschop

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

THEYRE OFF! And immediately its Super Gore on the attack, trying to get around to the side to get a grip on Axe to Fall! But Martijn turns to meet Kody and starts hammering him with that axe!Super Gore takes the blows and gets its claws around Axe to Fall and they sink into that Polycarbonate armour! Now its a brutal tug of war, but Martijn is still hitting SGE with his axe, and there are some small dents on the top armour of Super Gore! But that armour is tough and Kody is surely hoping that his claws are doing some damage inside Axe to Fall. And still Martijn hammers away, and neither bot is doing much movement as Kodyisnt letting go and neither can push the other very far before they push back! But now Kody seems to be gaining the advantage and pushes Axe to Fall onto the flame pit! What could have happened?
Now finally Kody lets go and reverses away, but Axe to Fall is only going in circles! It seems one of the drive motors was pierced by SGEs claws, and now Kody presses the pit release tyre before he comes back down and pushes Axe to Fall from the side, right into the pit!

THE LAST ELIMINATOR OF HEAT G IS OVER!

Super Gore Evo goes through!

Coming Next: The featherweight play-off!
Pillow Torque v Micro-Gore

[Guest]

Robot SMASH!!

Special Event- Featherweight play-off:
Pillow Torque v Micro-Gore

Pillow Torque beat DTK in the heats, but lost to Skink in the semi-finals.

Micro-Gore defeated Katnip in the heats, then lost to T.R.E.D.T.H.A.L in the semis.

Booth 1: Frank Goacher
Booth 2: Kody Kunz

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

Pillow Torque gets the quicker start and presses the pit release tyre, then drives back into the center of the arena to face Micro-Gore, who gets underneath and crushes! Now Kody has a good grip and pushes Frank right onto the edge of the pit! Then he lets go and Frank falls in, and Kody drops like a stone after him!

A VERY QUICK MATCH!

Micro-Gore gets the 3rd place in the featherweights, Pillow Torque comes a respectable 4th.

Heat G Semi-Final line-ups:
Storm II v Tempest Evil-est-oution
Killotine: Evo v Super Gore Evo

Robot SMASH!!

Ive decided to put special events in the final after all, but theyll be heavyweight play-offs.
E.g, in between rounds one and two therell be a four-way melee between the losers of round one and between rounds two and three therell be a match between the losing semi-finalists.

Robot SMASH!!

Liam, if thats the case, will you do it for heats A to F, which have already gone by?

[Guest]

Robot SMASH!!

Mark, the other weights were the special events in Heats A to F.
The play-oofs are for the final only.

Frank- the image you said in the stats for The 6isc in Vapourbot Images is an image of the Disc 5. I dont know the shape of 6isc, could you describe it or do a render? Sorry to be a pain, but I need it for the next heat.

[joey_picus]

Robot SMASH!!

I should imagine its the same shape - thats what I used in my tournaments anyway.

[Guest]

Robot SMASH!!

I dont really get the image- it looks like 2 discs to me, but the stats say one...

[joey_picus]

Robot SMASH!!

As I understand it, its Tridents (series 3) wheel arrangement inside two spiky sphere things, connected by a bar with a disc in the middle of the bar...its not a very good picture

[Guest]

Robot SMASH!!

Thats a bit better, thanks Joey.

Storm II v Tempest Evil-est-oution: Last chance to win a heat (I dont believe that Terrorhurtz stands much of a chance) and I get placed with the runner-up of one of the biggest tornuments this year. Thanks a bunch. I dislike facing Franks robot becuase they are well thought out, and also Frank is the best strategist on the forum, but I have a plan which involves bouncing Tempest (like everyone does ) but Ill ram in with my REAR armour - so if I take damage, it wont be so costly, and if he spins me, should should end up facing forward, and
since at this point he should spin slower, itll be less dangerous to attack with the front - and then after I get under him, push him against the wall and lift him onto his side and pin him on the wall, as due to the shape of his body, hell be pinned there. If Im wrong and its Tempest Evil-er-lution am thinking of, just stack him on the wall in a position he cant escape from.

Good luck Frank :wink:...but you possibly dont need it :sad:

Killotine: Evo v Super Gore Evo: Ill side along with the almighty Killotine to take down those tracks.

Awesome fights Liam.

Robot SMASH!!

Joey is right on both counts, The 6isk has the exact same shape as The Disc 5, and it is two triangular wheel set-ups in two spherical spikey things connected by a bar.

I think the reason you think it has two disks is because the disc is fairly thick. The two lines representing the disc are connected at the top and bottom though.

Tactics for Tempest are to let him hit me with his rear. Its flatter than the front end, so its a nice shape for me to hit, and also thinner armoured than the front so hell take more damage.

If, Im right in suspecting hell change his tactics after reading that, my altered plan is to dodge his box rushing for the couple of seconds Ill need to charge up, and hit his sides. A frontal strike is still cool with me, but going for the weaker areas just makes sense.

I would give more tactics for my fights, but this tournament is moving so fast I cant keep up:sad:

[Guest]

Robot SMASH!!

Thkanks for the shape Frank, and Ill probably slow down, if not in this tourney then definatly my next.

[pcbore]

Robot SMASH!!

I wasnt hinting at you to slow down, my current job is partially to blame as I tend to be in bed when youre writing fights
