    Virtual Robot Wars Series 2

    *goes out and gets some wine*

    TICTACS:

    Nitro-Gene vs. FLIRTY SKIRTY vs. Brutalis vs. Mauler 5150:
    Uh...Ill do whatever Flirty Skirty did in its heat semi final, which I believe amounted to sod all

    MeCannibal vs. STEALTH vs. Systematic Shocker vs. Napalm:
    Eugh, spinners...Paul, wanna team up? I mean, you really dont want to come up against Systematic Shocker later on, and if we team up we could take him out easily...Napalm we could get around to if it hasnt killed itself by then :P

    Henry VIII vs. ABADDON vs. WORCK vs. Robot The Bruce:
    Swing around and generally hit stuff.

    Gulp vs. GABRIEL II vs. Tri-Tainium vs. Major Tom:
    Paul, you want another team here? We can take out Gulp early if you bash him around and I flip it over the fence, and well deal with Major Tom when the time comes - I dont really think itss pose much threat.

    NIDHOGG vs. Envy vs. The Rock vs. Diotoir:
    Get under people, raise the forks to trap them, crush, and pit. Im open to team ups if anyone offers.

    THE QUAESTOR vs. LockJaw vs. DVD:
    Wot, no fourth opponent?

    Wild Thing vs. Marthingy vs. 147 vs. Coinst:
    Let Kody laugh himself to death, and flip the nearest other thing over the fence.

    Twn Twrn vs. Beta-Rex vs. Phoenix Down vs. Bar-Red:
    Use the standard setup, and ram Beta-Rex into Bar-Red to kill one of them. Along the way, I will ever so slightly graze the side of Twn Twrn, which considering Tridents axe killed it, should cause it to spontaneously combust.

      Meh.

      Tactics anyway:

      Nitro-Gene 4.0 v Mauler 51-50 v Flirty Skirty v BRUTALIS 2.0

      Team up, Paul? This should be easy even if Paul says no. Flip Mauler, then flip Flirty.

      MeCannibal v Stealth v SYSTEMATIC SHOCKER v Napalm

      How could you Joey? Dont listen to him Paul- you deserve better than Stealth! For this match Ill fit my spinning disc and use to it trash Stealth. Napalm will drive down the pit anyway.

      HENRY VIII v Abaddon v Worck v Robot the Bruce

      Uh.. hammer Robot the Bruce, let Paul deal with Abaddon, if he wants to team up.

      GULP v Gabriel II v Tri-Tainium v Major Tom

      Joey you are such a meanie
      Ill easily flip Gabriel, then smash its weak baseplate with my spinner. Tri-Tainium can easily deal with Major Tom or help me with Gabriel if Paulll team up.

      Nidhogg v ENVY v The Rock v Diotoir

      Team up with Joey.

      The Quaestor v LOCKJAW v DVD

      I assume the other one is Brutus Maximus? If so, I propose a team-up with Paul. If not, same tactics.

      Wild Thing v MARWOLAETH v 147 v Coinst

      Trash 147 for calling me Marthingy

      Twn Trwn v BETA-REX v Phoenix Down v Bar-Red

      Joey or Paul, team-up?

      Good Luck all.

        I cant be bothered to type it all out or copy and paste...forgive me, Im just being lazy

        Yeah, a team up sounds alright, I think I could survive a hit from Bar-Red so just go in and ram it. You can deal with the weird thing, Im not going near it unless its absolutely necessary :P

        And for the Gabriel fight, you seem to underestimate the strength of aluminium, and also the fact I can selfright.

          Revised tactics for that fight with Gabriel in it:
          Open the pit, flip Joey, use my lifter to pin him down and pit him

            MARK!

            Weve been OVER and OVER and OVER this, Im 100% positive I NEVER entered Flick of the Wrist in one of your tournaments, how on Earth is it seeded 4?!?!?!

            You state the rule that people with enough vapours have to enter an all vapour team, yet after only 1 person entering you BREAK that rule completely!

            You open an 8-people tournament yet after 4 people in you post a draw!

            Im very sorry but I cant take this too serious right now

              Martijn is right Mark.
              I said earlier about posting the draw already, and after checking through VRW1 Flick of the Wrist was never entered, you just took it.
              I am considering withdrawal from this tournament.

                Im really disappointed I gave you a chance here Mark, and you go and waste it. Im not going to post in tactics because of this.

                  ...meh, more chance for Flirty Skirty to win I thought it was a bit odd though...Mark, if youre going to be serious about regaining respect, at least realise what made us lose it in the first place.

                    Mark still hasnt listened to ADVICE and opened a SMALL 4-6 Robot tourney. Listen Mark, I had just as bad a start as you on this forum, but I listened to advice and turned it around before things got too bad. You have sorted your vapourbots, now you need to sort out your tournaments. Until you heed the advice of experienced veterans like Martijn, Kody and AJ I am withdrawing from this tournament. Sort it out and I will re-enter, but dont you even DARE think of taking my bots. Perhaps Paul is right and we never should have given you another chance with this tourney...
                    Prove me wrong, please.

                      The arena is the Robot Wars arena.

                        Right, now things are beginning to look like they wont implode...Ill have Nidhogg, seeing as I just redid it a bit:

                        WEIGHT: 100kgs
                        DIMENSIONS: 100 x 70 x 37 (47 inc weapon) cm
                        SHAPE: A long wedge with outward sloped sides and rear, similar to Lightning from S7
                        COLOUR: Dark green and gold roughly chevron patterning, fading to blood red towards the front. Weapons are gold coloured with flame red spines on the arm.
                        DRIVE: 2 LEM-130 motors run at 36v from three NiCad packs, driving two rear T6 aluminium wheels with Vulkalon tyres for grip, with a ball transfer unit just behind the forks in the nose.
                        SPEED: 15mph average, 25mph max
                        GROUND CLEARANCE: 0 at front due to forks, rising to 10mm at rear
                        ARMOUR: 4mm Hardox (7mm in key areas) on front, side and rear panels, 6mm T6 aluminium baseplate
                        WEAPONS: A hydraulic crushing arm, constructed from hardened tool steel and alloy aluminium, driven from a ram located behind the arm (similar to the old Executioner) and a Vivoil pump at 3000psi, giving 10 tonnes of force at the ram and 5 tonnes at the tip.
                        Also, there are a pair of electric lifting forks, similar to Haardvarks, at the front of the wedge driven by an S28-150 Magmotor and a lead screw capable of lifting 200kgs easily. These are mainly used to get under skirts and other wedges, and to break opponents traction and hold them so the crusher can come down and do damage.
                        SRIMECH: Via the weapon, which has decorative spines to assist in self righting. Spikes on the rear prevent stranding.
                        NOTES: Components and armour shock mounted for protection against large scary spinny things. Cutout eyes in side of robot serve as targeting lasers (they dont actually target, they just look really cool) protected by 7mm polycarbonate windows.
                        STRENGTHS: Can cause a lot of damage, good weapons synergy, maneuvrable
                        WEAKNESSES: Comparatively slow at self righting (about 1.5-2 seconds)

                              Considering you always seem to mess your tournaments up one way or another, count me out. :P
