Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Sorry theses fights are so short, but you can hardly blame me with these line-ups

Welcome back to Robot SMASH!! , where Heat D is about to start! The story of this series so far has seen the number #1 seed Wedge Devolution prevail in Heat A, the number #3 seed Supreme Glory Omega get the glory in Heat B and the unseeded Cyclone Force 3 won Heat C after Turbo Shredder defeated the number #5 seed Storm II.
Here€™s the round 1 line-up.
Macduff the 3rd v Orka MK.4 v Stealth
Whirligig 4.5 (7) v Eternia v Nightmare

Eliminator 1

Created and entered by Kody Kunz, Macduff the 3rd!
Like Knyfe and Cyclone Force 3 seen in the previous heats this robot can select from a choice of weaponry, and is a powerful rammer. It€™s more powerful than Cyclone Force 3, and equal to that of Knyfe, and for this match Kody has chosen to use the lifting spikes that can work both ways up.

In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter

Created and entered by Christopher Mason, Orka MK.4!
This very interesting concept is a Behemoth-shape robot with a scoop, but instead of an axe Orka uses a Mantis-style claw to grapples opponents. When lifted and grabbed robots will find it hard to escape, and the six wheel drive helps to shove robots around the arena as well.

In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter

Built by Team Stealth, entered by Joey McConnell, Stealth!
This is a robot seen in the third series of robot wars. It has a front flipper and a rear circular saw, but in the wars it was shredded by Hypno-Disc early on and the flipper did nothing against Death Warmed Up in round 1.

The fourth heat of Robot SMASH!! 2 gets underway- gosh, doesn€™t time fly when you€™re having fun? And Kody looks to be having fun in this bout, ramming Stealth from the side and lifting it with the spikes! Joey spins the saw and activates the flipper, but cannot escape and Macduff continues to push him around, dumping him on the Killsaws! BZZT! Stealth is thrown sideways onto Orka, who clamps it and lifts Joey into the air while Kody presses the pit release button! The siren wails and Orka drops Stealth into the pit after just 11 seconds of the match has passed!

CEASE!

The shortest fight of the series so far, lasting just over 10 seconds! Macduff the 3rd and Orka MK.4, they go through to round 2!

We now go to the pits, where Joey is hoisting Stealth into the skip.
Me: Did that go as well as you expected?
Joey: Much better, I expected to last 5 seconds with this crummy realie.
Me: We€™ll have your vapour debut in the next heat anyway though.
Joey: Yeah, hopefully I€™ll do better then.

Eliminator 2

Created and entered by Steven McGregor, the number #7 seed, Whirligig 4.5!
Last year this robot was extremely impressive, destroying a load of tough opponents to get to the finals. It€™s one of the most powerful (not to mention successful) vapour FBS€™ ever, dishing out 183Kj per hit and causing maximum damage with those 9 pussycat style teeth on the ring, which spins at 1500rpm.

In RS!!1: Destroyed With or Without You in the eliminator, then sent Tira III packing in round 2. The heat final looked like it would be tough, with The May Tracks Has You sporting those spikes to damage the feet, but Steven knocked out the link and it was bye bye to May Tracks as Whirligig went whirling on to the finals, where it all went downhill. Whirly was thrown out of the competition by ISDSFA, and in the play-off was the first robot to be eliminated when Seung Mina IV wanted her revenge.

Created and entered by Leo Van Miert, Eternia!
This powerful flipper really packs a punch, with power similar to that of Gravity in Robot Wars series 7. But the question is whether Eternia will enjoy eternal success or will the low pushing power mean an eternity of loss?

In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter

Built by a guy called Jim and the rest of the team, entered by Samuel Park, Nightmare!
This huge vertical spinner is a veteran of Battlebots, and despite being an excellent competitor and almost always doing well it never made it passed the quarter-finals, partly due to it being so unstable and having exposed wheels, a weakness exploited by Warhead in season 5.0.

SMASH!!

Nightmare and Whirly are quick to start spinning up, and Eternia looks quite happy to stay out of the way for the time being while the two spinners size each other up. Whirly starts coming towards Nightmare, but Samuel has a change of heart and turns around to hit Eternia, throwing Leo up and over onto his back! Leo is startled, but quickly self-rights and rams Nightmare and throws Samuel high into the air, but Nightmare lands on its wheels, one of which is quickly detached by Whirligig! That was unexpected and Nightmare will surely not be happy about that! And for extra revenge Eternia comes in on the wheel-less side and throws Nightmare up and over onto its back! Steven grins maniacally and moves in again, tearing a large chunk out of Nightmare and sending it flying, and Samuel lands right up against the arena wall, still upside down! Samuel€™s disc wasn€™t spinning when Nightmare was thrown, and now it can€™t spin so Eternia goes in again and finishes the job by launching Nightmare clear of the arena and onto the camera tracks!

CEASE!

Another quick battle, that one lasting just 18 seconds!

I€™m here in the pits now with Samuel!
Me: Nightmare started well, but it turned into a bit of a nightmare for you, didn€™t it?
Sam: Yeah, once the wheel was gone I was open to attack from Eternia, who I attacked at the beginning.
Me: The disc didn€™t really cause much damage to Eternia, why was that?
Sam: I didn€™t really get it a very good angle, only a good enough hit to flip it.
Me: Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, now let€™s see the round 2 draw!

Macduff the 3rd v Eternia
Whirligig 4.5 (7) v Orka MK.4

We€™ll be back right after the break, hope fully with battles that will last a little longer!

Very good fights Liam, but this Whirligig only produces 100kj of energy, not 183kj

[joey_picus]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

:P Good fights Liam, as always.
I actually thought Stealth was a good concept in general, I designed Interceptor (which suffers from my curse of me posting things in the improving thread and them being totally ignored) to be like Stealth was if it were...actually good. Or something like that

Ill go for Macduff and Whirligig to make the final here.

Macduff the 3rd vs. Eternia

Eternia - bah, its just another flipper. Keep the lifting forks here and slide another that flipper, try and get something stuck on the forks and carry him to the pit.

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Robot SMASH!! Is back, so let€™s get going into round 2 of this exciting heat!
If you missed part 1 of this episode, Macduff the 3rd and Orka MK.4 overcame Stealth and the number #7 seed Whirligig 4.5 ripped a wheel off Nightmare and Eternia flipped it onto the camera tracks.

SMASH!!

Macduff is using the spikes again for this bout, will that move pay off or will Kody€™s rammer get beheaded? Well, it€™s a good start for Mr. Kunz anyway, getting in underneath the side of Eternia, lifting and ramming Leo into the side wall! Macduff pins Leo for a moment, then let€™s go and Eternia gets underneath the front and throws Macduff onto its back! But Kody is invertible and turns around to face Eternia with the spikes again, but too slow and Macduff flies head over heels again! Kody drives away sulkily, and then turns to try a different tactic, ramming in and just getting the one spike under the side of Eternia, then lifting and using the two to roll Eternia onto its back! Leo quickly self-rights, but Macduff attacks from the front, getting the spikes into the flipper workings and ramming Eternia into the arena wall! Leo looks worried, and it seems that one of the flipper rams maybe damaged! We€™ll find out later on if Macduff has damaged that ram, but for now Eternia seems to be OK as Leo gets underneath again and throws Kody onto the Killsaws! BZZT! Macduff is thrown over, and Eternia attacks again, flipping Macduff over and pushing Kody back onto the Killsaws again! BZZT! Macduff is thrown over, then gets its spikes underneath Eternia and lifts Leo up onto his back! Eternia fires the flipper and rights itself, but Macduff rams in underneath the flipper again and this time Eternia starts venting gas when they hit the wall! It€™s been severely damaged on the inside, and the co2 supply has been ruptured! Leo is in real trouble now, and just before the co2 runs out he closes the flipper, but that€™s all he can do, the flipper isn€™t working now and Eternia€™s lack of pushing power won€™t help it! And Kody clearly wants to exploit that weakness, pushing Eternia onto the Killsaws! BZZT! Leo is tipped sideways, but stays on his feet and Macduff attacks again, lifting Eternia and pinning Leo against the arena wall! If the wall hadn€™t been there Eternia would have rolled onto its back, but Leo has been lucky this time and quickly runs away when Macduff releases him. And now Kody heads up the arena and lifts Eternia from behind, then goes into a rush and slams Leo into the pit release button! That could signal that the bout is coming to an end, as Eternia has been pushed around so much that surely now Kody will want to push Eternia into the pit? It seems so, as he keeps Eternia in the air and drags Leo towards the pit, slowly, slowly.... Their almost there, and now Macduff manoeuvres into a position where one side of Eternia is over the pit. He reverses away, then goes around and gets under the other side of Eternia with those forks for the last time. The forks go up, Eternia goes over and Macduff the 3rd goes through to the heat final!

CEASE!

We now talk to Leo in the pits.
Me: Another round 2 loss... I expected Eternia to go further.
Leo: I had certainly hoped it would, just got to keep my fingers crossed for the heats that lie ahead now.
Me: That€™s the way to look at it, and Macduff is a rambots after all, and Eternia doesn€™t like them, does it?
Leo: Its drive isn€™t as powerful as most Vapourbots, so it could get shoved around a lot, like it just did.
Me: Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, now it€™s back to the coliseum for the other heat semi-final!

Heat Semi-Final 2

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the return of the number #7 seed Whirligig 4.5 and Orka MK.4.

SMASH!!

Whirligig starts spinning up as Orka heads across the arena floor, Whirly looking particularly menacing as it shuffles across the arena to meet Orka, and the two collide with Whirly at full speed! But Orka deflects the attack with the scoop and then clamps Whirligig with the claw and hoists it into the air with the scoop! Immediately Steven has gone from comfortable to a situation of perilous danger and Chris carries him across the arena to the pit release! But he hits the button too hard and drops Whirly, who shuffles off, then changes its twisted mind and comes back in on the attack, slamming into the side of Orka and sending it spinning away across the arena, onto the edge of the pit! Chris quickly drives away and gets under Whirly again, once more using that claw on Whirly and this time getting the number #7 seed right where it hurts- in the shuffle pad! And now Orka hoists Steven into the air again and turns towards the chasm once more, then uses that 6 wheel drive to scoot over to the pit and drop Whirligig 4.5 into the abyss!

CEASE!

Quite simply amazing; the seed is eliminated in just 13 seconds!

Now we go to the pits, where the number #7 seed is leaving!
Me: That surprised us all!
Steven: Me too, I had hoped to last more than 13 seconds!
Me: You€™ve dropped from round 4 to round 2, bearing in mind there€™s one more round this time, is that a massive setback or do you think you can come back next year and do better?
Steven: You bet. Whirly will be back, bigger and better than ever (or the same!)
Me: Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, what€™s coming up after the break?

The heat D final!

Macduff the 3rd v Orka MK.4

Its a scoop, huh? Use the lifting wedge this time, aim for the sides and/or rear, scoop him on, and drive him straight down the pit. Be all over Orka, dont give him a chance to move in for an attack.

[Guest]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Hello and welcome back to Robot SMASH!! , where the Heat D final is about to get started!
Macduff the 3rd v Orka MK.4
Macduff the 3rd and Orka MK.4 teamed up on Stealth in their eliminator and worked together to pit the series 3 machine.
In the first heat semi-final Macduff the 3rd ruptured Eternia€™s co2 supply and that was the end of Eternia.
In the second heat semi-final the number #7 seed Whirligig 4.5 spun into action against Orka, but was grabbed and pitted in what was a massive shock.

I€™m here in the pits now with both teams.
Me: Will Macduff get beheaded here Kody?
Kody: I hope not, but I do hope that the whale will be made extinct.
Me: You have the more pushing power, but perhaps Orka has the more effective weaponry?
Kody: Possibly, but he€™ll have to get a chance to use it first...

Me: Are you at all worried Chris?
Chris: Macduff is a worthy opponent, but those tracks make a nice target for my claw.
Me: You won the last heat with Cyclone Force 3, so does that add or take away from the pressure today?
Chris: Takes away, really, because no matter what happens now I€™ve got at least 1 bot in the semis.
Me: Okaaaaaaaaaaaaay, let€™s go to the coliseum!

Ladies and Gentlemen, please applaud the return of Macduff the 3rd and Orka MK.4 to the coliseum!

Roboteers, standby!

SMASH!!

Macduff is using the lifting wedge for this battle, and this immediately seems to be a very good choice, as when Orka comes out to meet the tracked rammer their scoops cancel each other out and Macduff€™s LEM-200s defeat Orka€™s S28-400s and Kody pushes Christopher back into the arena wall with a thump! Orka€™s claw comes down from above, but does nothing. Macduff is forced to release Orka after 30 seconds, but then Kody immediately goes back on the attack, this time getting underneath the side of Orka and lifting it into the air with the wedge and slams Christopher back into the arena wall! Orka lifts its scoop into the air and snorts co2 in frustration, but Macduff holds Chris off the ground and holds Orka over the Killsaws! BZZT! Chris is thrown onto his side and Macduff pushes in from underneath and rams Orka across the arena and into the opposite wall! CRASH! Orka€™s gonna feel that in the morning, but now Chris self-rights and finally gets his scoop underneath the side of Macduff and clamps down onto one of the tracks, then lifts Macduff into the air! The tables are turned and now Macduff is on its head, and Chris reverses into the pit release button! But Kody struggles and the tracks break free, making Macduff fall to the floor and Kody quickly darts away across the arena, away from the pit. Orka follows and once again the two meet head on, and this time Macduff pushes Orka towards the pit! Chris can€™t escape, but latches onto the hinge of Macduff€™s wedge as they approach the chasm and just holds onto dear life as when they get there Kody can€™t dump that Orka in! This time its Kody€™s turn to get frustrated as he can€™t shake Orka€™s grip, and is forced to pull Chris back out of danger and into the battle again. But he doesn€™t let Chris get a hold and reverses away, and then prepares for another run in, but Orka dodges it easy as pie and comes in from behind! But neither is Kody a fool and speeds away from the pursuing Orka, who gives up the chase and returns to the centre of the arena to await the next onslaught from Macduff. When it comes Chris fires the scoop too early and Macduff rams in underneath, lifting Chris and slamming him against the arena wall! Orka uses its claw to get back to earth, and then gets its own scoop under the raised wedge of Macduff, lifting Kody and bringing the claw down to catch Macduff in a vice-like grip! Once raised into the air Kody€™s tracks are useless and Orka powers across the coliseum and right over to the chasm, and then dumps our Scottish warrior into the abyss!

CEASE!

A disappointing end for Macduff, as it started so well.
Orka joins Wedge Devolution, Supreme Glory Omega and its stable mate Cyclone Force 3 as it goes through to the series semi-finals!

Don€™t miss us next time on Robot SMASH!! , where we€™ll see the return of the 9th seed WORCK-ER!

In the other melee, Pussycat is not long for this world.

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

WOOT for the sucessful battles of extreme wootiness!

WORCK-ER (9) v Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus v Q.E.2: WOOT for the fact I have a seeded vapourbot! Me and Joey have teamed-up to take down the old dinosaur. The plan is to swarm Die-Ceratops, before I get it OOTA (In 1 flip - the improvements should be enough to do so) or Q.E.2 dumps it in the pit.

Back to Rock III v SOR X v Pussycat: Goodbye Pussycat.

[Guest]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Guess what? It€™s time for another gobsmackingly brilliant episode of Robot SMASH!! !
Tonight we€™ll see the return of the number #9 seed WORCK-ER, with that powerful flipper and well-thought out design he got to the heat final last year, but that was WORCK. This year he€™s WORCK-ER, and ready to flip the hell out of Die-Ceratops and the Quaestor, who€™s also back in a new incarnation known as Q.E.2. So what are we waiting for? Let€™s take a look at the draw!
WORCK-ER (9) v Die-ceratops Re-invertus v Q.E.2
Back to Rock III v SOR X v Pussycat

Eliminator 1

Created and entered by Paul Cuomo, the number #9 seed, WORCK-ER!
This seemingly simple wedge design incorporates a powerful front hinged flipper with its classic wedge shape to cause some serious mischief. Last year only the eventual runner-up Nidhogg could stop this baby in the heats, can WORCK-ER do BETT-ER?

In RS!!1 (as WORCK): Flipped and immobilised the helpless Typhoon 2 in the eliminator, then met up with the promising Sheer Heart Attack 2 in round 2. Paul gave the tracked axlebot a heart attack, but then came up against Nidhogg in the heat final. Having defeated Nidhogg previously in the challenge belt, WORCK was feeling pretty optimistic about the match, and once again it started well, but things went belly-up and WORCK was WORCKED up and out.

Created and entered by Christopher Mason, Die-ceratops Re-invertus!
A large wheely big cheese style flipper is the key to victory here, just like Liar 2 seen in last year€™s finals. Will the dinosaur follow in the deceptive flipper€™s successful path, or become extinct at the first hurdle?

In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter

Created and entered by Joey McConnell, Q.E.2!
Last year this was a straight axe bot, but now Joey has added a flipper to the front to grab opponents and then pit them. But 5mm titanium isn€™t the hardest of armours and this robot may be wishing it had some tougher protection against spinners.

In RS!!1 (as The Quaestor): Gave Coinst the chop in round 1, but came up against Killobite 5.0 in round 2 and the roman was demoted, then executed.

Roboteers, standby!

As this fight gets underway Paul immediately makes a beeline for Die-ceratops, and so does Q.E.2! It seems they€™re teaming up on poor old Chris, and WORCK-ER easily slides under the side of Die-Ceratops and flips it onto Q.E.2, who clamps Chris with the axe and lifts him into the air with the flipper! WORCK-ER rushes off to press the pit release button while Q.E.2 dumps Chris onto the Killsaws. BZZT! The dino is flipped back onto Q.E.2€™s flipper in a shower of sparks and Joey flips Chris away, but he comes back on the attack and gets underneath the side of Q.E.2 to throw it high into the air! Joey comes crashing back to earth, and just in time to bring his axe down onto Die-ceratops again, and now along comes WORCK-ER, getting in underneath Chris and flipping him over again, this time onto the Killsaws! BZZT! They throw the dino onto Q.E.2, who clamps it with just the axe and carries Chris over to the pit! WORCK-ER follows in case something goes wrong, which it does- Chris fires his flipper to get Q.E.2€™s axe off, but then Joey fires the flipper and Die-ceratops flips over sideways onto the edge of the pit so that one wheel is in play and the other is useless! And in goes the number #9 seed to finish the job!

CEASE!

Die-ceratops looked promising, but sadly it€™s extinct.
WORCK-ER (9) and Q.E.2 go through to round 2!

I€™m here in the pits now with Chris.
Me: I€™m gutted they teamed up on you, Die-ceratops looked like a really good machine and I expected it to go far.
Chris: Admittedly I had hoped it would do better than that, but there€™s not much you can do against a team-up like that.
Me: Well hopefully RS!!3 will have 4-way melees in round 1, so if you get teamed up on you€™ll at least have a teammate of your own.
Chris: That€™s what Die-ceratops needed today.
Me: Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, back to the coliseum we go!

Eliminator 2

Created and entered by Martijn M Benschop, Back to Rock III!
Another Behemoth look-a-like, this one a bit different, with a nifty blade concealed within the scoop to slash tyres. The question is will this robot€™s opponents find themselves between a rock and a hard place or will it really be Back to Rock for Martijn?

In RS!!1: Looked promising, and started well against All Scoop and No Stab Make Steve a Dull Boy, but eventually got rolled into the pit of oblivion and out of the competition in the opening round.

Created and entered by Andrew Jackson, SOR X!
This highly interesting robot consists of a powerful spinning rim that is connected to the wedge at the front, where there is a flipper powered by the rim€™s kinetic energy. What more could you want? Invertibility, perhaps? *cue gasps* this robot has that too.

In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter

Built by Team Kat, entered by Steven McGregor, Pussycat!
The successor to Bodyhammer seen back in Heat A, this cat always lands on its feet and has a nice blade to cause damage. However, it€™s severely out of date, and with vapours of today€™s class around the cat could be me-out.

In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter

Immediately all three robots get their weapons up and going, although we can€™t really see Back to Rock€™s blade from this crappy camera angle (*fires cameraman*) we know its spinning because Martijn€™s just evil. And so is SOR X by the look of things, zeroing in on Pussycat and flipping the feline competitor up and over without even taking a scratch! And it doesn€™t stop there, as SOR X pulls its body around and slams into Pussycat with the spinner! What€™s that flying across the arena? Oh nothing, just a wheel that came off Pussycat. And now Martijn comes in to join the fun, flipping Pussycat onto its side and pushing it into SOR X€™s spinning rim! CRASH! And again a wheel goes flying, so now Pussycat can only go in circles, and tries too, but in comes Back to Rock III again and pushes it up against the arena wall! And in comes the mighty SOR X again and slams that dangerous weapon into another of Pussycat€™s unfortunate wheels, sending it over the fence and onto the camera tracks! And Back to Rock III thinks that Pussycat would like to be reunited with that wheel, and slickly fits that scoop in underneath Pussycat again and then sends it tumbling out of the arena and out of the heat!

CEASE!

A very easy and entertaining fight for AJ and Martijn, Back to Rock III and SOR X go through!

I€™m here in the pits now with Steven.
Me: Me-owch!
Steven: That kind of sums it up!
Me: Kody predicted,
€œPussycat to land on its feet, which will no longer be there€.
What do you think of that statement?
Steven: Amen, truer words were never spoken.

Don€™t go anywhere folks, if you have to soil those underpants because Robot SMASH!! Will be right back with these exciting round 2 battles!

WORCKER vs. Back To Rock III
Tough this one, might end up going to the judges, but Id guess BTR to edge the decision or pit WORCKER.

Infusion...sorry, SOR X :P vs. QE2
It is times like these that call for copping out...go straight for the pit release, and then run around the other side and force Andy to engage in an edge of pit Jedi duel...try and lead him near the edge without going too close to the edge of the pit myself, axe if he gets in range, but try and push him in when close enough.

[paulc]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

WOOT! Made it to Round 2, and I went through my team-mate - AWESOME!

WORCK-ER (9) v Back to Rock III: Hello Martijn This is not going to based on power, although I have the more power (24hp compared to his 18hp, and in addition I have 1 motor per wheel, maximising my chances of putting all my power onto the ground), but its going to be based on control, and who gets under the other one first.

My wedge scrapes along the arena floor, and may stand more chance of getting under than he does. One plan is to charge at the skirts and hope theyre so low that they force the wheels of Back To Rock off the ground, and given that my wedges on the side and rear are like VERY strong skirts, I think hell have a tougher time getting under me than vice-versa. If this happens, I can push underneath and keep him on the wedge using the barbs. Once under, use my 24hp and 15mph to shove him to the side and toss him out with 1 flip - 600kg of force alone should do the trick, but if I can use the 1550kg of force, fine .

Good luck Martijn :wink:

SOR X v Q.E.2: Sorry AJ, but Im going for a shock prediction that once Q.E.2 stops the ring, SOR X will be out.

ermzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

No, no you havent. 2 LEM130s at 48V and 4 MAG400s at 36V is roughly the same amount of power.

quote:

and in addition I have 1 motor per wheel, maximising my chances of putting all my power onto the ground

No, no you havent. Each of your wheels is powered by 1 MAG400, meaning that if you were to have only 2 wheels on the ground, theyd be powered by only 2 MAG400s=12hp. If I were to have 2 wheels on the ground though, theyd both be powered by 2 LEM130s=24hp. And if anything, I have 6WD and the more grip.

My lifting plates run flat along the floor, so I can ram under his front no problem. His skirts are nice, but I have the torque to penetrate them, lift him and pit him, yeah, thatd rock

Goodluck
