Robot SMASH!!
Oh, and by the way, if I lose to Clawdius again, I will be VERY cheesed off.

Robot SMASH!!
Eliminator 16/32:
E Clawdius Unum v Killobite 5.0
Formerly Clawdius Decimus Murderous, Stevens powerful crushing machine finished 3rd in The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008. Now its back, and up against a fellow crusher in the first round!
Killobite 5.0 is another Razer-esque machine, but this design also incorporates some front lifting forks, like we saw on the Heat C winner Nidhogg.
Booth 1: Steven McGregor
Booth 2: Kody Kunz
5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!
Both bots get off to a flying start, Killobite trying to get around the sides of Clawdius while Steven tries to make an advantage of Kodys weak armouring. The first vapourboteer to get in an onslaught is Steven, powering Clawdius into the side of Killobite 5.0 and attempting to crush into the chassis! But Kody pulls around and manages to get his forks under Clawdius side skirt! Kody lifts Steven up and over, then drives underneath and clamps down on top with his powerful claw, stopping Clawdius getting his srimech into play! The crusher makes a shallow indent in the armour, and Kody takes Steven into the pit release tyre! This should be a walk in the park for Killobite now- it has the struggling Clawdius in its arms and the srimech is doing nothing, but just as they approach the pit Steven falls off the crusher! He quickly self-rights, but Kody was ready and flips him over again before shoving him into the chasm!
ITS OVER ALREADY!
Killobite 5.0 wins the battle of the crushers and goes onto the heat semi-finals!
Coming Next: The final featherweight heat!

Thats lucky, I was typing the battle and didnt see that post until afterwards!
The Heat Semi-Final Draws will be:

Robot SMASH!!
That was for Super Gore Evo, and Aftershock. Go Killobite!
Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc v ISDSFA
Pure Evil out.
The Quaestor v Killobite 5.0
While its true that I have weak armouring, do remember that the red parts on the CAD is my CHASSIS, which is extremely tough. Its like an exoskeleton. Im not complaining about the battle above as, had Clawdius got the claw into play, he would have got around the chassis and into the armour. The Quaestor here can also get the armour, but not through it, as his axe arm will get in the way by hitting the chassis.
Tactics? Four words: grab, crush, lift, pit.
Micro-Gore vs. Katnip
ALL RIGHT, MY FIRST FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHT! Problem is...Ive never heard of a bot called Katnip. If anybody can give me some info...thatd be nice. Then I can post tactics.
Thats all.

THE QUAESTOR vs. Killobite 5.0
Try an pull a Killertron here - get a grip on Killobites exoskeleton with the axe and try and drag it towards the pit. If he comes in towards me, lower the bodyshell completely and sit there as he tries to get under.
Good luck Kody
I think Katnips on the Roaming Robots site - apparently it was the first real featherweight built in the UK, whic Im sure Vector Of Armageddon and Cunning Plan would dispute.Comment

If he comes in towards me, lower the bodyshell completely and sit there as he tries to get under.
In that case, when he does that, shove it towards the wall anyway and get the claw in; the claw reaches out further than the forks do.
Thanks Joey, and good luck.
Now, tactics...
Micro-Gore vs. Katnip
Haha, its basically Micro-Gore with horizontal jaws instead of vertical ones. In that case I have the advantage. Grab the main body and launch it into the pit.

Oh balls...in which case, wear a legionary costume and shout vaguely Latin threats across the booth if he begins getting the claw in Seriously, if that happens drive away, and good luck pushing something with a silicone rubber coated base.

Robot SMASH!!
Hey, a game of tactical tennis.
Lets see...silicone rubber coated base, eh? Thatll prevent you from moving at all, so Ill basically just bump into you at that and sink the claw in then, and then push you when you start to move.
But seriously, I dont care if I win or lose this one: it should be a good match.

Robot SMASH!!
Uh...if that happens...i have a counterplan...wave the axe about. If I do that enough, the god of robotics might detect my plight, and reward me for my devotion to tracks by smiting Killobite with a touch of his hands.
...it was worth a try, wasnt it? Youre right, it will be a good match, if slightly crazy...

Tactics are to pit whats left of Pure Evil after it explodes from its own overpowered weapon. Seriously, its waaaay overpowered

Special Event- Featherweight Heat 4/4:
Micro-Gore v Katnip
Micro-Gore is designed and entered by Kody Kunz, who has already proved his worth in the other weights by trashing Killoteeny with Solstice 2.0. This the robots first fight, and Kodys first featherweight fight!
Katnip is built by Team Kat and entered here by Daniel Stickler. Its much like its opponent here, but horizontal instead of vertical.
Booth 1: Kody Kunz
Booth 2: Daniel Stickler
5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!
Micro-Gore comes on the attack first, getting underneath Daniel and ramming him into the angle grinder! As Kody presses down (and up) on Katnips armour, sparks fly from one of the rear wheels! But Katnip has more pressing problems, as Kody crushes the armour and begins to pull Daniel towards the pit release tyre!
The pit goes down and Kody approaches it, holding the struggling bot in its claw! Daniel uses his own claws, but to no avail as Kody holds Katnip so that its wheels are suspended in mid-air, over the pit of oblivion!
PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT
The crowd want it, Kody wants it, WE want it, the only person who doesnt want it is Daniel Stickler at the controls!
A PUFF OF SMOKE BRINGS THE MATCH TO AN END!
Kody releases Katnip and goes on to the featherweight semi-finals!
Coming Next:

Heat Semi-Final 7/16:
Pure Evil: ROTD v ISDSFA
Pure Evil defeated hot favourite Another Night at the Bar in its eliminator, can Daniel do the same to Frank here?
ISDSFA flipped and immobilised 259 in the first round, now Frank wants a place in what could be his first heat final of the series.
Booth 1: Daniel Stickler
Booth 2: Frank Goacher
5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!
Both bots spin up their weapons and head into the arena, Frank looks ponderous for a moment then tries to get around and flip Pure Evil! He only gets the edge of his scoop under though, and Daniel is merely lifted into the air before he comes crashing down. Daniel then slides his own flipper under ISDSFA and turns it over! But Frank is quick to self-right and comes back on the attack, this time succeeding in tipping Pure Evil onto its side! Daniel fires the flipper and it falls onto its back, where Frank pushes it into the angle grinder! He reverses for a moment and Daniel tries to self-right, but ISDSFA comes in and presses down with the scoop, keeping Daniel on his back and at the mercy of the disc! Frank then gets underneath Pure Evil and lifts it to jam it up against the wall! Daniel worries as Pure Evil wobbles precariously on the rails before crashing out of the contest!
THE CAMERA TRACKS MUST BE IN PAIN!
ISDSFA flips Pure Evil: ROTD OOTA and proceeds to the heat final, meanwhile...
Heat Semi-Final 8/16:
The Quaestor v Killobite 5.0
The Quaestor is a powerful axe robot that dealt with Coinst in its eliminator. Can Joey prevail over Killobite here?
Killobite is a claw and forks design, a winning formula as proved by Nidhogg, the winner of Heat C.
Booth 1: Joey McConnell
Booth 2: Kody Kunz
5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!
The Quaestor seems rather wary at the beginning of this match, while Kody looks to be in an aggressive mood and comes storming across the arena to attack! The Quaestor tries to get around the side of Killobite 5.0, but Kody turns and gets his forks under, lifting Joey into the air! He then gets the crusher in on top and carries The Quaestor over to the pit release tyre! The siren wails loudly, like a banshee awaiting a corpse! And thats exactly what Kody has in mind... He cradles The Quaestor- which shouts threats in latin- and carries it over to the pit of oblivion! Hes on the edge, and going down!
PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT
Kody lowers it down, and the match is over!
THE CROWD ROARS!
Killobite goes on to meet ISDSFA in the heat final!
Coming Next: The last middleweight heat!

Middleweight Heat 4/4:
Steel Sandwich v Doorstop
Steel Sandwich is powerful for a middleweight, it can shove most of its contenders around and hopefully do some damage.
Doorstop is another middleweight taken from a clusterbot seen earlier in the tournament- Its one half of Doorstops, which was beaten in the semi-finals of Heat C by Nidhogg, which went on to take the heat.
Booth 1: Paul Cuomo
Booth 2: Frank Goacher
5,4,3,2,1, SMASH!!
Both bots get an aggressive start, with Doorstop making the best move turning around to the side and pushing Steel Sandwich into the angle grinder! It seems that no real damage has been caused, and Steel Sandwich now pushes Doorstop onto the floor flipper, which activates for the first time in Robot SMASH!! !
CRASH!
Doorstop flies through the air and bounces along the arena floor, almost going OOTA but landing propped up on the opposite wall! It cant move, so Steel Sandwich presses the pit release tyre and pushes Doorstop down! Paul tries to push it from the side, but Frank is too fast and gets in first to push Paul towards the pit!
The crowd seem to want this badly, and Frank gives it to them!
STEEL SANDWICH IS IN THE PIT!
Doorstop goes through to the middleweight semi-finals!
The other-weight semi-final draws have been done!
Featherweights:
Skink v Pillow Torque
T.R.E.D.T.H.A.L v Micro-Gore
Middleweights:
Life v Doorstop
T-Minus v Solstice 2.0
