    AJWars: Another Era

    E Clawdius Unum vs. Aftershock

    E Clawdius Unum is a box wedge with skirts at the sides and rear. Two S28-400 Magmotors for drive provide 14mph speeds on a four wheel drive system. The weaponry is a hydraulic crushing arm running at 3000psi. E Clawdius Unum also carries spikes and barbs to ram into the opposition. E Clawdius Unum can self-right using linear actuator powered side arms and is armoured in 4mm Hardox.

    Aftershock takes its design from the robot Barberous. S28-150 Magmotors contained within produce 10mph speeds. Between the two wheels is a drum spinning at 3500rpm dishing out 43kJ of energy. On the other end of each wheel are wheel hubs that spin at 6000rpm and give out 31kJ. The drum and hubs are 9mm thick Titanium.

    3€¦
    2€¦
    1€¦
    ACTIVATE!


    E Clawdius Unum is first away, darting across the arena attempting to reach Aftershock before it has spun up to speed. Kody quickly turns his robot out of the way and Clawdius hurtles into the arena wall! Aftershock, now spinning well, comes in for an attack round the back of Clawdius and strikes with the drum! The impact flicks Clawdius up and nearly out of the arena! Aftershock backs away to get the central drum spinning again. Steve turns Clawdius round and goes back in for a suicide dive. This time Aftershock does not evade it as well, but does manage to clip Clawdius with one of the spinning hubs while turning. Aftershock goes slightly unbalanced, while Clawdius seems largely unaffected. The crusher-equipped robot has another attack, sliding the wedge perfectly between the two wheels and runs the wedge right into the drum! The collision causes a shower of sparks and some barbs are ripped clean away from Clawdius€™ wedge. However the drum is now stalled and Steve steers Clawdius neatly in and grasps the drum between the claw and wedge!

    The claw comes down and locks Aftershock in the grip, however it is struggling to penetrate the 9mm Titanium armouring. Kody continues to spin the side hubs and wheels, but Aftershock just cannot get free! Clawdius slowly lines itself up and begins to push Aftershock across the arena. Clawdius first carries Aftershock over to the flame grill, and the flames lick out but cause little harm to Aftershock€¦ Clawdius then drags Aftershock away and rams it into the pit release target. The pit starts to descend€¦ and Aftershock is away! The impact of Clawdius slamming Aftershock into the pit release appears to have shaken the drum-bot free! Kody promptly gets Aftershock well away and begins to spin up the large central drum. Clawdius turns and quickly follows, and a chase begins! Aftershock quickly swerves away from Clawdius, and then comes in for a side on attack! The drum slams into the side of Clawdius and the collision causes it to be thrown onto its side! Aftershock continues its charge and hits the underside of E Clawdius Unum with one of its spinning hubs, causing a small dent.

    The side arm pops out of Clawdius and it makes its way back to its wheels. Aftershock quickly comes in for another attack and rides right up the wedge, but this time the drum manages to deflect it away before the claw could come into play. However, the impact caused the drum to slow down and Clawdius again slips in and gets a grip around the drum, but once again Aftershock gets away right at the last moment! Kody then steers Aftershock side-by-side with Clawdius and catches the side plate with one of the hubs, causing a few sparks. The drum starts spinning again as the two robots dodge and try to find an opening€¦ Aftershock gets there first and delivers a nice attack on the side of Clawdius, causing more sparks to spray out and both robots bump away. But Clawdius quickly recovers and turns in to pin Aftershock against the arena wall. The claw comes down and again Aftershock is caught in the grip of E Clawdius Unum.

    Clawdius turns and heads towards the pit, but one of Aftershock€™s wheels has purchase on the floor and is digging in, making it difficult. Clawdius slowly jolts forwards and comes within inches of the pit, with Aftershock€™s one wheel slowly moving them away from it. Clawdius turns and edges both robots right onto the edge of the pit! One of Aftershock€™s wheels is now hanging right above the pit, while the other continues to spin, now emitting smoke. Clawdius backs up slightly and turns Aftershock right over the pit, but Aftershock digs in once more to steer it just clear. Grey smoke is now pouring out of the side of Aftershock as Clawdius releases its grip and sets Aftershock free. Aftershock is balancing on the edge of the pit, the hubs are moving, but little else seems to be alive and Clawdius rounds it off with the final shove.

    CEASE!

    E Clawdius Unum helps Aftershock into the pit, and goes marching on!

    So with the conclusion of a controversial Round 1, here is the Round 2 draw:

    Gabriel II vs. Infusion
    Liar 2 vs. E Clawdius Unum

      ...in...infusion...

      *cries softly in a corner*

      TACTICS:
      Box rush. Get over there before Infusion can spin up, and try and get under it from the side (my maneuvrability will help here). If I manage that, DONT USE THE FLIPPER. Try and keep it high-centred on the bodyshell, hit the pit release, and try and pit the bloody thing (using the flipper for this stage if necessary). If this fails (which, lets face it, is more than likely) try and angle into the spinner so the HDPE is ripped off without much damage being caused to me, and that might slow down the weapon enough to let me get underneath. Might being very much the key word there...

      Good luck Aaron, although you dont really need it

              Gabriel II v Infusion

              Ill counter Joeys box rush with a box rush of my own! Hit him with the wedge first, so it doesnt affect the spin up time of the rim.

              Basically try to aim for the Titanium/UHPE areas and cause damage there. Another trick will be to wedge him into the wall and hopefully halfway on top of Infusion, then spin on the spot and his baseplate should fall into one of the upper teeth. This is a harder manuver to pull off, but is the best place to cause serious damage to him, since that base plate is only 3mm aluminium.

                    Liar 2 may be fast and the flipper may be powerful, but with only two wheels and such a narrow front, it should have a hard time getting under me. Attack from the sides or rear, get underneath, grapple and pit.

                      I wondered when someone might give this a nudge.

                      Gabriel II vs. Infusion

                      3€¦
                      2€¦
                      1€¦
                      ACTIVATE!


                      Both robots start off with the same idea as they both go straight across the arena and slam into each other head to head. The impact of both robots hurtling into each other deflects them both away from each other. Gabriel II being the slightly more nimble reacts first and turns for an attack at the side of Infusion. However Joey is quickly put off by the spinning rim of Infusion and manoeuvres for an attack on the wedge. Infusion backs up causing Gabriel II to miss it. Infusion responds by using a side on charge at Gabriel II, getting under the side ground clearance and ramming it hard into the arena wall at full boost speed. Gabriel II is stunned by the attack and Infusion is allowed to plough back in with the wedge. Infusion tries for the hat-trick but instead rams the wall as Gabriel II squirms away.

                      Gabriel II takes its turn for a charge and this time slides nicely under Infusion and quickly operates the flipper, looking for an OOTA attempt. Infusion bounces nicely down, but Joey follows up with another attack, carefully edging Infusion up onto the wedge. Rather than firing the flipper, Gabriel II starts to carefully push Infusion with its wedge shape. Gabriel II approaches the pit release and suddenly picks up the speed, slamming Infusion into it and firing the flipper at the same time! Infusion smashes into the pit release and the pit begins to fall. Gabriel II follows up again with another drive straight in and under Infusion! Gabriel II€™s momentum carries it straight into the arena wall€¦ and Infusion gets a great strike in with the rim, putting a slash in the HDPE/Titanium rear armour combo.

                      Gabriel II tries to get away, but Infusion stops it in its tracks and gives it a nice grilling on the flame pit! Joey quickly moves Gabriel II away before the HDPE becomes damaged, but in doing so gets boosted into the nearby wall by Infusion. Stunned from the attack, Gabriel II is unable to get away allowing Infusion to bury itself into the side panel, putting another nice slide in the HDPE. Gabriel II saves itself from another attack and shoots away. Infusion chases and uses the boost to catch up with Gabriel II and get it nicely positioned on the wedge€¦ and Infusion makes a dash for the pit! Joey realises just in time and pulls Gabriel out of the way, causing Infusion to fly close to suicide! Infusion also turns at the last moment to stay in the arena.

                      Gabriel II approaches Infusion, as Aaron swings Infusion violently round and digs the spinning rim right into the side armour, causing some nasty scratches. But with the rim slowed down Gabriel II takes its chance and gets the wedge under Infusion again. Once more, instead of flipping, Gabriel II opts to push, but this allows Infusion to falls straight off the wedge€¦ Gabriel II flicks the flipper but doesn€™t get much purchase and only knocks Infusion backwards. Joey decides Gabriel II is battling to close to the pit for comfort and moves away to the middle of the arena, eventually followed by Infusion. Gabriel II has a rush at Infusion but rides straight up the wedge and over the top! Aaron quickly spins Infusion round and slides the wedge under the back of Gabriel II and begins a push€¦ into the pit!

                      CEASE!

                      Gabriel II is pitted, as Infusion moves to the finals!

                          At least all the important pieces of the robot remained where they were designed to remain

                          Good job Aaron, and brilliant fights as always, Andy.

                            Nah, I would rather get destroyed and sent home in pieces. Random mechanical failures, and cheap pittings are not fun.
