Robot SMASH!!

Special Event- Middleweight Heat 2/4:
T-Minus v Claw and Axe

T-Minus is another previous winner of the battlebots middleweight chmapionship!Unlike Hazard, however it is a high-pressure flipper that has a srimech!

Remember Weapon Synergy back in Heat A? Well for his middleweight Daniel Stickler has chosen to take two of its clusters and enter them here!

Booth 1: Martijn M Benschop
Booth 2: Daniel Stickler

5,4,3,2,1, DESTROY!

Claw and Axe split up while T-Minus gets ready for some serious flipping action! Claw comes on a frontal attack, but it is flipped sky-high before Daniel even gets a chance! Axe comes in from behind, but Martijn uses the weight advantage to push it into the corner where its flipped by the spike! Axe self-rights, but T-Minus has turned around and now flips Axe OOTA!
Claw comes in, but Martijn is ready and flips it, albeit away from the walls rather than over them. But he gives chase and gets underneath again, this time ramming Claw into the side wall before letting it fly again!

ANOTHER MIDDLEWEIGHT HEAT HAS A PREMATURE END!

Once again the weight advantage proved too much for Weapon Synergy and Daniel bites the dust! T-Minus goes through to the middleweight semi-finals!

To Kody- At least your a gallant loser, unlike someone I know (COUGH-MARK-COUGH)!

Coming Next: The Heat B Final!
All Scoop v Supreme Glory Omega

Not much I can do here except charge the corners, try to flip Supreme Glory over, pin it and chuck it out the ring pronto.

Robot SMASH!!

Heat B Final:
All Scoop... v Supreme Glory Omega

Lets see how these two mechanical monsters got to this stage of the competition!
1) Supreme Glory Omega started badly in its eliminator, but came back to shatter Dead Horse Beaters base armour and take the match via knockout.
2) All Scoop proved that a stupidly long name wouldnt count against it and pitted Back to Rock III.
3) All Scoop had a tough fight with Shadow Zone Returns, but eventually scored an OOTA to claim its place here in the heat final.
4) Supreme Glory Omega started badly again in its semi-final match, but eventually dealt D.V.D a fatal blow to reach this highly respectable round!

Booth 1: Steven McGregor
Booth 2: Daniel Stickler

5,4,3,2,1, DECIMATE!

Both bots get off to a quick start, heading towards each other! Supreme Glory brings its axe down, but misses as All Scoop veers out of its line of fire and gets underneath the corner! Steven quickly turns SGO onto its back and brings the axe down to stop Daniel self-righting!
Steven now carries his opponent to the arena wall, and tries to dump him out of the arena! But SGO fires the axe at the right time to self-right off the wall! And beacuse of the direction it falls away from All Scoop before ramming Steven from the side and bringing its own axe crashing down on All Scoops top armour! Daniel gets him into the corner, and All Scoop is flipped by an arena spike! He quickly self-rights, but Daniel was waiting to get under him and now uses the axe as a front hinged flipper to throw Steven onto the wall! The axe dangles over the side helplessly, but Steven uses the scoop and gets his wheels back on the ground! He immediately comes back on the attack, but SGO delivers a whopper of a hit right onto the top of All Scoop! The axe head comes crashing down, and something has fallen off All Scoop!
The cameras zoom in and we see the removable link lying uselessly on the ground!

ANOTHER HEAT COMES TO AN END!

Supreme Glory Omega springs a surprise and claims a place in the series finals! All Scoop is out of the heat and the contest as Daniel goes through!

Coming Next: The First eliminator of Heat C!
Worck v Typhoon 2

Note to Mark- Remember Im not taking that AFR rubbish.

Robot SMASH!!

WORCK v Typhoon 2: Simple plan - ram him and flip him. Marks plan of deflecting me into the pit will NOT work at all - I have the same amount of wheels as him, but more traction, so hell be deflected away. True, he has the greater speed, and so can spin-up before I get to him, but my 5mm Hardox body armour, 3.25mm Hardox wedges and 6mm Hardox front scoop will prevent him even SCRATCHING my armour, and shock-proofed internals will keep me from shock-killed by him. And due to the height of his teeth, he will only hit the scoop, so Ill be fine.

Due to the way my flipper works, I just have to ram under him, and he will STOP spinning as soon as I get underneath him. So just fire the flipper and leave him for the count.

I usually say Good luck Mark, but you dont deserve it.

Robot SMASH!!

Remember, Tactics:

Worck vs TYPHOON 2

I now realize it is almost impossible to damage Worck, so my plan is to speed up and hit the pit release button.

Then, run around the arena, and wait for Worck to get in front of the pit. Run into him, and watch him fly into the pit.

Just remember, I probably wont do anything to his armour, but I can throw him around with my power.

No you wont - and will you stop all of this remember nonsense! Youre just doing it to make your robot sound better - JUST STOP IT!

Robot SMASH!!

Robot SMASH!! is back with the latest battle from the arena! Heat C is about to get underway, with Worck v Typhoon 2!

Another note to Mark- STOP SAYING REMEMBER.IVE TOLD YOU ONCE, ITS GETTING REALLY ANNOYING NOW.

Eliminator 9/32:
Worck v Typhoon 2

Worck is an ex-holder of the challenge belt, and lost in the first round of The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008, so it hasnt got a fantastic track record in my tournaments. But its well armoured and has a strong flipper, so Mark should look out!

Typhoon 2 won the last ever series of Robot Wars, though most people agree that Storm II should have prevailed on that biased JD. Its not powerful enough to damage Worck, and doesnt have a srimech so this match could be over before its started.

Booth 1: Paul Cuomo
Booth 2: Mark Elam

5,4,3,2,1, CRIPPLE!

Typhoon starts spinning up and heads straight for the pit release tyre, succeeding in reaching it before Worck can attack. Mark then hovers near the pit, waiting for Paul to come on the attack! But Worck is having none of it and comes towards Typhoon 2 from a direction so that even if it does get hit itll be knocked away! When Paul gets near Mark pulls around to try and knock Worck in, but Paul turns and gets the flipper underneath!
FLIP!
Typhoon 2 goes up and over for good, as the lack of srimech means its now out of the match!
Just as a little vengeance for Storm II, Paul shoves Typhoon 2 into the pit!

THE FIRST ELMINATOR OF HEAT C IS OVER!

Worck heads through to the heat semi-finals!

Coming Next:
The Curse v Nidhogg

Tactics...in archives in sky...

Dont let me down, Nidhogg

[paulc]

Robot SMASH!!

Over before it begun...WOOT! Go WORCK! I make that 3-0 now Mark :blush:

Thats 1 down, 2 more to go and then Ive made the top 8. Itll be nice, but Ill doubt Ill make it that far.

Robot SMASH!!

Eliminator 10/32:
The Curse v Nidhogg

The Curse is an odd shape robot with a powerful spinning blade. Its entered here by Kody Kunz, winner of the Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008 with Seung Mina.

Nidhogg is the permanent holder of my first challenge belt, having defeated lots of great robots. Its a Razer-esque machine, shaped like Lightning but with lifting forks and a powerful crusher.

Booth 1: Kody Kunz
Booth 2: Joey McConnell

5,4,3,2,1, KILL! (Cant believe I havent already used that 1...)

The Curse quickly spins up and moves across the arena to meet Nidhogg, who looks ponderous. The Curse tries to swing that blade into Nidhoggs side armour, but Joey is ready and dodges the attack before rushing back in from behind and lifting The Curse into the air! The Blade hits the floor, and Nidhogg comes down with the crusher, puncturing one of Kodys tyres! The Curses movement is now impared, but Joey keeps hold of it and drags Kody into the pit release tyre! The tyre slides off the crusher and the forks and The Curse escapes, spinning up again for another attack! Nidhogg comes in, but this time Kody attacks and strikes, bringing the blade into play on Nidhoggs front forks! One of them is bent and now Nidhogg wont be able to lift Kodys bot properly! Nevertheless Joey mushes on and gets The Curse on the wedge and brings that crusher down! Another tyre takes the pop, and shock horror for Kody as its the one infront of the previously damaged tyre meaning The Curse is now restricted to going in circles!
Joey keeps hold and pushes Kody into the chasm!

ANOTHER ELIMINATOR IS OVER!

Nidhogg goes through to the heat semi-final while sadly another of Kodys vapourbots bites the dust early on. Perhaps his luck will change in the heats to come?

Coming Next:
Turbo Tails v Sheer Heart Attack 2

Um...get round the rear and slash the tracks.

Robot SMASH!!

Just some news regarding my tournaments...
Ill be taking a break for a couple of months after this is finished. Perhaps a small tournament or two, but nothing big for a LONG time as Ive done a lot in a short time!
But I do have something very special planned for my return, which may or may not happen, but Im not telling you beacuse I want it to be a surprise if it does happen!
After that (if it happens) Ill probably do the next three Challenge Belts (though it may only ever appear again as a side tournament, in which each one will probably be in a different format.
Itll probably be like this:
1) Your basic challenge the holder affair. Robot to beat three others (including the holder it challenged) takes the belt.
2) Hmmmm... Havent thought of this yet!
3) The same as the third belt last year, but Ill probably ask for 6 people to enter 1 robot each as you all seem to trust me much more now than then! (I hope)

Also Kody will be happy to know that Im already thinking about the Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2009! Its not until next year, but Im designing an arena and house robots specially for this tournament! Theyll ber re-used and updated over the years as I think its a small but fun tournament, and so should have its own fun stuff! Therell be eight seeds (if the following all enter, if they dont Ill change them, or change them to their new updates):
1) Seung Mina IV
2) Calm Down Dear
3) E Clawdius Unum
4) Super Gore Evo
5) Behemoth
6) The Zenith
7) Crimson Thunder
Another Night at the Bar
The heat finalists have been seeded in order by the robots who beat them (e.g Behemoth lost to Seung Mina, who won the whole tournament and so it is the highest of the heat finalists)
The format will most likely be the same as before, as I want to keep it small and simple though I may upgrade the three-way melees to four robot battles... Who knows?

And I may do Robot SMASH!!2, but that wont be for a really long time and there are no plans at the moment!

And regarding other peoples tourneys I now have some proper vapourbots which I hope will do quite well, as I STILL havent had a proper battle!Ill just have to wait for Chris in the Battlebots tourney...
