Robot SMASH!!

Another day, another over-powered ring spinner to face off with :P Although thinking about it I really dont know if Whirly can get its full power into its strikes, pussycat blade shaped teeth dont sound too efficient as theres no single point and no real trauma. Its more likely to slice than to rip and gouge, so its basically an oversized saw blade

Tactics are to go with the wedging under and reversing stratagy to get the spikes into play. The wider area of the shuffle pads compared to wheels means I can get more spikes stuck in, and hopefully can remove an entire shuffle pad doing this, leaving Whirly limping and spinning off centre, which is always bad news for a spinner. Ask Mauler. It might not be the most efficient way of beating Whirly, but itd be one of those moments that makes me regret you cant actually see whats going on in the arena

Good luck Stevey.

Heat E Final
The May Tracks Has You v Whirligig 4.5

Lets flashback and see how these two very different designs got this far...
1) May Tracks threw Sonic Boom OOTA
2) Whirligig trashed With or Without You for an easy victory
3) May Tracks dominated No Objections, eventually scoring another OOTA
4) Whirligig 4.5 proved it had power by taking on Tira III and turning Kody onto his back..No srimech, no recovery...

Booth 1: Frank Goacher
Booth 2: Steven McGregor

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

Whirly immediately starts spinning up and May Tracks comes forward to meet it! Frank wants to get that wedge under Whirligig, but can he do it when Steven is spinning at full speed? Whirly shuffles away from May Tracks, trying to get that weapon up to full power before impact! But Steven cant delay collision forever and in comes May Tracks!
CRASH!
The next thing we see are some of May Tracks spikes go flying off and Frank being knocked slightly backwards by that blow! His armour has stood up to the hit, but the paint is scratched. Whirly is already spinning up again, but this time Steven is quicker on the attack and gets underneath! But all the right spikes have gone, and May Tracks cant impale the shuffle pads properly as planned! Instead he pushes Steven to the wall and flips Whirligig! Whirly hits the rails and wobbles back into the arena, spinning up again! May Tracks comes in and..
CRASH!
Frank is sent reeling this time, from the pure force of that blow! And as Whirly spins up again theres no response from May Tracks!

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

It seems the link was knocked out by that attack and May Tracks is history! Whirligig 4.5 goes through to the series finals to join Liar 2, Supreme Glory Omega, Nidhogg and ISDSFA!

Coming Next: The opening eliminator of Heat F
Life and Death v MeCannibal 2.0

[paulc]

Robot SMASH!!

MeCannibal 2.0 vs. Life And Death: 4-0 at the moment, but I plan AT LEAST to make it 4-1 :wink: The advantage with clusterbots is that you can attack from 2 different angles, but the disadvatages are weight and weaponry due to the weight needing to be split out. Life may have issues with its weapon, as if it misses a vital flip, itll fly over instantly! And with Death, the issue is in its weapon as well, as its so powerful, it needs to sacrifice armour.

My advantages are that I have the same amount of weight as they do together, but split I am 50kg heavier than Life and 50kg heavier than Death, and also, my spinning weapon is 30kg in weight, a bit lighter than Whirligig, but I spin at 3000rpm at max, 3 time MORE than Whirligig - who mauled May Tracks despite being an oversized sawblade Im an oversized FLYWHEEL due to my teeth design, so Ill send all 195kj (nearly twice as much as Whirligig) into 1 spot and wreck carnage. Ill target Life, as that flipper looks nasty and if I take it out, Ill score plenty in the damage section.

Tactics for each part:

Life: Attack the sides and rear, where its weakest.
Death: See above

Good luck Joey :wink:

Robot SMASH!!

Theres actually a wheelie bar type thing on the back of Life to stop it doing that...thought I mentioned it in the stats somewhere. My tactics are somewhere above, but also involve hoping MeCannibal dies from its own Kj count, as while the 300Kj one was complete insanity, the 195Kj one is only as safe as its chances of instant detonation being less than 100%

Regardless, good luck Paul

Robot SMASH!!

Dont worry Joey - Ive got shock-proofing - look in the stats :wink: How many binbags will you need after this fight?

[joey_picus]

Robot SMASH!!

I dont have binbags, left them at home - Ive got eight or nine Marks And Spencers bags, will they do if I possibly wrap the sharp pits in paper so they dont rip them apart?

[kodster]

Robot SMASH!!

Shockproofing doesnt always help, you know. :wink:

Eliminator 21/32:
MeCannibal 2.0 v Life and Death

MeCannibal 2.0 did well in the challenge belt, defeating good robots like Crimson Thunder, Sithis and Weapon Synergy.

Life has already made it to the middleweight finals, but here it is partnered with Death in the main competition.

Booth 1: Paul Cuomo
Booth 2: Joey McConnell

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

MeCannibal spins up as Life and Death come on the attack together. Paul gets up to full speed quickly and swings around to the side of Life!
CRASH!
Life spins away, now with a nice gash in the side, from which it is venting gas- the co2 supply has been ruptured! Death now comes on the attack and grabs MeCannibal in an attempt to pull Paul towards the pit release tyre, but the weight difference of 60kg is too much and MeCannibal escapes!
Paul spins up and now comes on the attack of Death, once again going for the sides!
CRASH!
Death spins away, and the link falls out leaving the weaponless Life to fend for itself!
Life comes in and pushes MeCannibal into the angle grinder, but now Paul escapes and spins up again!
CRASH!
This time the rear armour takes the crash and the whole panel flies away! Life goes now to the pit release tyre! MeCannibal comes in from behind!
CRASH!
The exposed workings took the blow and the drive motors are now lying on the arena floor!

MECANNIBAL GOES THROUGH!

Death dies and Life is Life-less.

Eliminator 22/32:
Vlad the Impaler v Sakura

Vlad the Impaler is an ex heavyweight champion of Battlebots, 1999 and Season 1.0 2000. However it was defeated by Bio-Hazard in the series 2.0 finals and suffered bad losses later on.

Sakura is a beautiful cherry blossom, magnificent and....absolutely lethal. This FBS runs off 2 x LEM-130s running at 36v and has a Kj output of 90-100.

Booth 1: Mark Elam
Booth 2: Frank Goacher

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

Sakura immediately starts spinning up, while Vlad goes for a box-rush!
CRASH!
No, its not Sakura he hit, more like the wall, as Sakura slickly dodged the frenzied attack and now comes in on its own onslaught!
CRASH!
Vlad is thrown over by the impact, and when it self-rights Mark finds himself stacked on the wall! It isnt a good position, and theres nothing he can do! Frank just spins up again, and comes in on a powerful slam!
CRASH!
This is unbelievable, Vlad has gone right OOTA! Surely thats a first for a horizontal spinner? But in a way Mark did it himself...

VLAD FALLS TO A FLOWER!

Sakura goes through in the shower of cherry blossoms that now cover the arena!

*quickly fixes Life for the middleweight competition* Message here seems to be Life is good, but perhaps not as a clusterbot part...

...ah well. Paul, you finally got me but Im going all out on you with Haardvark...

...there will be no mercy. You will be nudged to death.

Finally! A win over Joeys team! WOOT!

Robot SMASH!!

Eliminator 23/32:
Seung Mina IV v Metal Sonic Dash

Seung Mina III was the winner of The Easter Bunny Tribute Championships 2008, Kody hopes to repeat its success here with the redesign.

I think this robot looks a bit like Panic Attack with a disc instead of the forks, can Steven pull this tough match off?

Booth 1: Kody Kunz
Booth 2: Steven McGregor

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

MSS starts spinning straight away, and Seung Mina comes in. The first bot on the attack is Mina, and she flips Steven into the air! But the plate wasnt right underneath and MSS comes down the right way up before the flipper balde has come down! Taking advantage of this Steven rams in, the sparks flying off Mina as Steven pushes Kody across the arena floor! But he doesnt move for long as Kody gets those wheels going and with an advantage of 6HP on his side clamps down on top with the flipper and pushes MSS into the corner, where its flipped by the spike! Steven quickly self-rights, but in comes Kody and flips him over again! Once more MSS uses the srimech, and once again Kody comes in, getting underneath and pushing it up against the wall! The flipper is fired, but MSS goes sideways! The disc takes a chunk outta the floor when Steven comes down on his face, but MSS bounces back up onto its hweels, only to be flipped by Kody again! Thsi is a proper flip and MSS goes high into the air before it crashes down on its back. Steven self-rights, but onto Mina, who throws him upinto the air a second time! This time MSS flies backwards, but lands on its wheels. Steven gets the disc going again and comes on the attack of Seung Mina from the side, damaging one of the skirts and getting in underneath Mina! Those spikes on top have trapped the Easter Bunny champion and now Steven carries her over to the pit release tyre! The siren wails and Steven heads over to the pit, but Kody has a brainwave and uses the powerful flipper to knock himself off the top of MSS and escapes!
Steven quickly reverses away from the pit and turns to face Mina again, but Kody gets underneath and stacks MSS on the grinder! Steven uses his sriemch to get out of there and attacks again, but Kody pushes him onto the flame pit and turns him over again!

ITS ALL OVER!

After a close match the battle goes to a JD!

Seung Mina IV: MSS:
Damage- 1/5 2/5
Aggression- 5/5 3/5
Style- 4/5 3/5
Control- 4/5 4/5
Overall- 14/20 12/20

The 3rd eliminator of the heat is over and Seung Mina IV goes through to the heat semi-finals!
