    The Tribute To The Tim Tribute Tournament

    Woody-me-do vs. Kracko vs. Cat With Wheels

    ROBOTEERS, STAND BY

    Booth 1: Dave Sheppard, Danny Bailey
    Booth 2: Kody Kunz

    Kracko immediately begins to spin up, as Cat With Wheels turns right and goes in towards Woody-me-do, which tries to dodge the oncoming attack, but end up riding up the front wedge of Cat With Wheels flipper...
    FLIP! Woody lands near a spinning Kracko, which comes in and snaps a splinter away from the wooden armour with considerable force, knocking Woody away from it and towards the pit...it regains traction though and moves away, back in towards Cat With Wheels, as Splinter comes back from its resting place and in towards the Cat, which is now facing a two pronged attack, and though it is able to get under Woody again, the axe blade of Splinter catches behind the flipper as it fires, causing the Cat to do a small wheelie.
    Meanwhile, Kracko comes in on Woody, which rather understandably runs away, and Cat With Wheels manages to squeeze out of the grip of Splinter just before it is able to close the claws. Splinter now goes for Kracko, Leo perhaps hoping to stop the spinning, but just before they make contact with each other the robots freeze in their current positions.
    Everybody is puzzled, and is then teleported away from the arena and onto a large space warship, where a quiz show set has been constructed, with each roboteers robot in front of a podium. Leo, Dave, Kody and Danny take their seats, still confused, before the confusion increases as Elvis Presley comes from behind a curtain, giving a small shake of his hips before taking the seat at the hosts desk, to appreciative applause.

    Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Battle Three, the quiz show where we test peoples knowledge of Robot Wars, uhuhuh, and offer them the chance to win fabulous CASH and PRIZES!

    *cheering; Dave mouths something to Kody, who shakes his head*

    First, lets get it on, uhuhuh, with the first round; Series Three!

    Elvis turns to Kody, who finds himself and Kracko oddly illuminated.

    Kody, which robot in series 3 had purple fur?

    An odd ticking begins to resonate throughout the ship.

    Was it Purple Predator?

    BUZZ

    No, Im afraid it was Wel-Dor. You, uhuhuh, are out of the game!

    Kody begins to protest, but looks above him to see a sixteen tonne weight falling down. He tries escaping, but is squashed, accompanied by a farting sound effect.

    Such a pity there, out on the first question. Now, Dave, name a fight in series 3 that Hypnodisc won

    Hypnodisc versus 101, semi final 2, fight 6

    BUZZ

    No, uhuhuh, the acceptable answers were T II versus Vector, Chaos 2 versus Trident, and Technophobic against Pitbull. You were completely wrong...

    Dave attempts to jump out of his seat to avoid the weight, but as he gets halfway across the set he is suddenly hit by a large fly swat and lies dead on the floor.

    Two down already, this aint good. Now, Danny, which is the odd robot out of these four: Facet, Chaos 2, Gravedigger, and Crasha Gnasha?

    Um, Crasha Gnasha, because it was the only one that didnt have a flipper?

    BUZZ

    No, uhuhuh, the correct answer was Firestorm, because it was the only one with yellow paintwork

    Danny sighs, and one second later a window in the starship opens and he is sucked out in to space.

    My oh my, we do have some people here who just dont know their stuff! Now, Leo...are you actually the only person left here?

    Yes, I am, in fact I wasnt actually expecting to be in this fight at all

    Well, thats darn bad, but its darn good as well, because that means you, Leo van Miert, are the CHAMPION!

    Confetti instantly begins to fall from the ceiling, as dancing girls begin to conga across the set and Elvis presents Leo with a very nice trophy, a set of brand new toothbrush heads, and a leather bound chest containing several million pounds in gold and various gemstones.

    Thankyou all for tuning in to another episode of Battle Three, here on FRA One. Just before we go, uhuhuh, none of this actually happened. Tune in next time for some more fun and action, just dont step on my blue suede shoes, uhuhuh

    There is a flash of light, and everyone finds themselves back in the arena, but before anything else happens...

    CEASE

    Splinter goes through to the semi finals!

        Incidentally, Mark, this is the correct way to insert peoples robots into tournaments when they havent entered them. :wink:

                  maybe


                  And our final quarter final fight is between Twist Of Fate, Solstice 2.0 and Xianghua II, and Opened By Transfer.

                  Now, Dave sent his tactics for this fight in by carrier pigeon, but unfortunately I shot it repeatedly as it came in to land, and the tactics were too blood spattered for me to read. Not that it matters all that much, but anyway...

                  ROBOTEERS, STAND BY

                  Booth 1: The person who took over Frank Goachers driving duties after he was sucked into the void, Dave Sheppard
                  Booth 2: Kody Kunz

                  Kodys robots immediately set off for the arena wall, as their mission is to attack the House Robots, which are secretly holding a meeting in a field in Norfolk where they plan to exterminate the population, and Solstice spins up and goes for the arena wall...

                  CRASH! A large section is torn clear of the barrier, and first Xianghua and then the spinning down Solstice quickly exit the arena. Unfortunately, being robots with low ground clearances, they immediately drive over an extension cord for the cameramans coffee machine, and as a result get beached, although it doesnt matter since the house robots, being robots, will lose their batteries before they make it as far as Lowestoft, never mind London, and so the world is safe.

                  Meanwhile, Twist OF Fate appears to be having difficulty spinning up its weapon, and Opened By Transfer comes in to investigate. However, as the two robots make contact with each other, a huge plot hole comes out of Twist Of Fate and swallows both robots up.

                  CEASE

                  The judges have a very difficult decision to make here behind their desks, and the roboteers are called to the podium to allow them time to choose. After a long period of deliberation and soul searching, the panel of judges decide, based on style, control, damage, and aggression, that they will watch Eastenders, but set the VCR to record Emmerdale as a compromise.

                  One of the camera crew than asks about the fight, and has to remind the judges who was in it. Noel Sharkey then decides that Opened By Transfer is the winner, based solely on the fact he liked the name better.

                  Opened By Transfer goes through to the semi finals!

                  And here are the lineups for those semi finals:

                  Woodpecker vs. Opened By Transfer

                  and

                  Brown Trousers Time vs. Splinter

                  Tactics and predictions, if you would be so kind?

                    Prediction: me to win by some involvement of a plot twist.

                          First job is to try and locate Opened by Transfer from wherever it ended up after the last fight

                          Any idea where that not-quite Russian size plot-hole led?

                            Ive talked with my sources, and they say it led to...*checks Google*...57 Maple Street, Prysyr Fllllemllylllylyl, Glamorganshire. Apparently the exit is in the downstairs bathroom.

                                This, loyal readers, is where you come in. This is the chance for you to shine, to share in the glory of this tournament, and also a chance for me to get a cheap laugh without going to the trouble of actually writing a fight myself.

                                You shall each write your interpretation the rest of this fight, with one of the two machines that started the fight winning, and tomorrow I shall pick the one that made me laugh most (as measured on a scientific scale known as the Cokesquirtnostrilsometer) and that shall be considered as the canon end to the fight, with the person who wrote it recieving a mansion in the next life next door to Shane Swans. It doesnt have to be necessarily long, just random and funny.

                                So, my friends, get writing!
