Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Welcome back to Robot SMASH!! , where round 2 of the penultimate heat is about to get underway. In round 1 we saw the biggest shock of the series so far when the fourth seed Seung Mina IV crashed out of the contest when it tried to take out Killotine: EVO, but instead was munched by Dervish V.
While that was happening Nitro-Gene 4.0 and Tough as Nails took out the clusterbot With or Without You.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please give a round of applause for the return of Nitro-Gene 4.0 and Killotine: EVO.

Roboteers, standby!

SMASH!!

This should be an interesting round. It€™s the extremely powerful flipper and push-ability of Nitro-Gene 4.0 pitted against the dangerous axe and previous success of Killotine: EVO. Both are the standard box wedge shape, but Nitro-Gene gets off to a quicker start today and drives around to the side of Killotine: EVO, but Steven turns to meet Paul head on and as their ground clearances cancel each other out and Nitro pushes Killotine back across the arena, but Steven fires the axe and puts a small dent in Nitro€™s flipper. All the same Steven finds himself on the killsaws and is bounced upwards into the air, allowing Nitro-Gene to rush in underneath with the flipper, but the killsaws stop Nitro-Gene from ending the match via an OOTA and spin it away in a shower of sparks. The tyres seem to be OK after that, but not after this next attack, which sees Killotine: EVO run in from the side and breach the side skirt of Nitro-Gene 4.0 and bring the axe down directly onto the front left wheel of Nitro-Gene and hold on in there! Paul struggles, but the axe is in there and it isn€™t coming out. Paul however fires the flipper and does manage free itself, but only temporarily as it is chased across the arena by Killotine: EVO. But now Paul pulls around and gets under the side of Steven€™s machine, throwing it high up into the air with 1600kg of force behind that flip! Killotine turns over in mid-air and crashed back down onto the ground on its lid. Nitro-Gene comes in underneath and starts pushing Steven, who self-rights off Nitro-Gene and pushes into the side again, but this time the side skirt does its job and Killotine drives up the side of Nitro-Gene, stopping at the middle of the angled side. But that doesn€™t mean Nitro is safe from the axe, which comes down and goes through another tyre! Nitro€™s manoeuvrability will be seriously impaired now, and Killotine uses that to its advantage, holding the axe on in there and beginning to push Nitro-Gene 4.0 across the arena, but with Killotine on the side skirt Nitro manages to turn around and get underneath the side of Killotine: EVO, now ramming full speed into the arena wall with a CRASH! And now Paul gets the flipper underneath and hits the button, hoping to get Killotine up and over the barrier, but it goes more up than across here because of the position Killotine was in on the wedge, and Steven drives over the top of Nitro-Gene 4.0 before turning around and ramming into the rear, getting in underneath and hitting the top of Nitro-Gene with the axe again, but not making much of that hit. But now Nitro-Gene goes into reverses and drives over the top of Killotine, but before getting to the rear Steven uses the axe as a front hinged flipper and inverts Nitro-Gene, who despite being invertible does a stylish 540 degree turn in the air and neatly lands on its wheels. Paul now powers back into Nitro-Gene and somehow manages to get under the front plough, getting right in underneath before once again powering that fantastic flipper and sending Killotine high into the air, before he comes plummeting back to earth and lands on top of Nitro-Gene€™s open flipper, which snaps shut when Killotine lands on it. Steven drives off Nitro-Gene and comes around on the attack, hitting the same wheel it first punctured earlier on with the axe and pushing Paul across the arena and into the arena wall. Steven pulls the axe out of Nitro and reverses back a bit, and now there€™s very little movement from Nitro-Gene! It bounces along a bit on one side, but now in goes Killotine again and gives Nitro a whack in the bodywork with the axe! And now all movement has stopped- nothing is happening and the crowd counts the valiant veteran Nitro-Gene 4.0 out. Both these robots went out in round 2 last series, and it seems Nitro-Gene 4.0 has again, but Killotine: EVO beats its previous record. And as the camera zooms in we see the cause of Nitro-Gene€™s sudden immobilisation- the link was loosened by Killotine€™s axe blows throughout the match, and that last blow knocked it out completely.

CEASE!

Nitro-Gene 4.0 is executed; Killotine: EVO goes through to the heat final!

Heat Semi-Final 2

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome back to the coliseum Dervish V and Tough as Nails!

Roboteers, standby!

SMASH!!

Both these robots are invertible and have effective weapons that work just as well when inverted, but that€™s where the similarities end. Dervish V is the full body drum designed to cause major punishment, while Tough as Nails is the perhaps less conventional full body claw designed to grab and then pit opponents. But Chris is finding it hard to get a grip on Dervish V, and Daniel just ploughs straight into the centre of TAN and flips it over, exposing the rear of the Dutch crusher to attack, and that€™s exactly what Dervish does, slamming into those exposed wheels with the drum spinning upwards at full speed and beginning to eat away at the one on the right! Chris tries to pull around and get away from Dervish, but Daniel swings around after him and this time hits the wheel side on, badly buckling it! Tough as Nails is in real trouble now and drives in circles, trying to grab Dervish V, who has reversed safely out of reach. And just at the right time Daniel rushes back in and slams into the other wheel with the drum spinning at top speed, although this wheel isn€™t too badly damaged at a glance that is until you realise Dervish is munching away at the wheel itself as it pushes TAN across the arena! And that dangerous spinning weaponry has eaten away almost the entire wheel, meaning Tough as Nails now has very limited mobility, not even making a full turn. The crowd can see that TAN isn€™t going anywhere soon, and they count the Dutch crusher and only newcomer of this heat down and out of the wars.

CEASE!

Tough as Nails wasn€™t tough enough; Dervish V whirls onto the heat final!

And so the penultimate heat final will be:
Killotine: EVO v Dervish V

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

BOOOOOOOOO!

Meh, Killotine to ultimately axe the tires of Dervish after getting tossed about once or twice.

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Here are my tictacs whilst I offer Kody a tactic

*Kody chokes on flip it OOTA*

Mwahahaha...

Right-o, basically aim for the axe of Killy and try and rip it clean off. Without a weapon it cant really damage me anymore.

[kodster]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Quiet, or I will have to hurt you. :P

[steven_mcg]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Aim for the pit and box-rush it to death.

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

And so we come to the penultimate heat final of Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged, after 14 heats of total destruction there are only 6 battles left before the series semi-finals.
In round 1 Killotine: EVO was targeted by Seung Mina IV (4), but Dervish V targeted the seed and eliminated it in the biggest shock of the series.
Killotine: EVO had a long and hard fight with Nitro-Gene 4.0, eventually knocking out the link with a killing blow.
Meanwhile Dervish V tackled Tough as Nails, buckling the wheels and immobilising the full body claw.

Heat Final

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Killotine: EVO

SMASH!!

The full body drum that is Dervish V immediately starts revolving as the signal for the fight to begin is given, and before Killotine: EVO knows it those LEMCO-130 motors have spun the dangerous weapon up to top speed and Dervish is making its way across the arena to attack Killotine: EVO, who uses its own LEMs now to power across the arena and get the front wedge under Dervish V, the hardox armour taking minimal damage from the drum and managing to push Daniel€™s machine onto the killsaws! BZZT! Dervish is spun around, and gets hit by Killotine€™s axe, which puts a hole in the aluminium armour of Dervish V and allows Killotine to drag it back across the arena, but the drum starts spinning again and Steven loses his vice grip. Dervish V reverses away and gets that weapon up to speed again, and although Steven tries another box-rush Daniel pulls around to the side of the former VGC Champion and rips off a side skirt, flipping Killotine up and over in the process, attacking the base armour and then rolling Killotine across the arena, over and over before slamming it against the arena side wall and ripping the side hardox panel clean off! Killotine is in trouble now, but manages to escape to safety before coming around on an attack and pushing Dervish side on, bringing the axe down onto one of the exposed tyres of Daniel€™s drumming machine! Killotine holds the axe in there and pushes Dervish against the arena wall, but the impact loosens the axe€™s grip and Dervish V escapes, allowing Daniel to spin up that lethal drum weapon again before coming around on the attack and trying to get at Killotine€™s exposed internal workings, but Steven pulls around so that Daniel meets the front wedge of Killotine: EVO and drives straight into Dervish, driving it across the arena and into the corner, onto the killsaws once again! BZZT! Dervish is thrown off again and drives away from Killotine in order to get that spinning drum body up to speed, and when it does it comes back around on the attack, dodging Killotine€™s third box rush and pulling around in a second attempt to get a good onslaught into the internal workings, but Daniel (due to the slightly impaired mobility due to the damaged tyre) has pulled around too late and hits the rear of Killotine, but he still manages to rip off the skirt there. To make sure the drum doesn€™t do any more damage Killotine: EVO reverses into Dervish V and pushes it across the arena and against the pit release button! The siren wails and the chasm descends, giving the two drivers another thing to worry about in this fight. And now comes another turn for Killotine to attack, with Steven pulling around and wedging Dervish V against the arena wall, stopping the drum and the robot€™s mobility for now. The axe comes down, but goes right over Dervish V and hits the barrier, doing no good whatsoever. Steven withdraws the axe and pins Dervish V in this position for the full 30 seconds, perhaps just trying to keep the drum away from the insides of Killotine: EVO. But now those 30 seconds are up and Killotine: EVO is ordered to reverse away from the wall, therefore freeing Dervish V, who spins up again and comes at Killotine, who attempts another wedge attack and is successful, jamming Dervish V up against the arena wall. Those LEM-130s in Killotine€™s drive are really paying off, but once again Steven has to reverse and now Daniel spins up again, this time managing to avoid Killotine€™s attempt to wedge it again and comes around to attack the un-protected side of Killotine, and finally it is successful, rolling Killotine over and over again and flipping the unprotected side over onto the killsaws! BZZT! Killotine is lifted into the air and Dervish drives in again, flipping it up and ripping the remaining side skirt, managing to stack Killotine: EVO on the arena wall, and now Steven€™s machine is really looking the worse for wear. He fires the axe to jerk it down off the arena wall, but now Killotine is only going in circles, and it seems the wires connecting the left drive motor to the batteries were cut through by the killsaws! And with next to no control Killotine drives straight forward into the arena wall, firing the axe helplessly. Daniel smiles and powers up the drum one last time before slamming in and rolling Killotine: EVO up against the arena wall, causing some more superficial damage as the fantastic axe robot rolls over the barrier and out of the contest, and landing on the camera tracks in a broken and beaten heap.

CEASE!

Killotine: EVO is all cut up; Dervish V whirls onto the series semi-finals!

Next time on Robot SMASH!! , the final heat!
Nidhogg (2) v Leprosy Infection v Under Pressure
Drum Boy v Envy v Sonic Boom

NOTE TO MARTIJN: How near is Under Pressure to completion?

[majinb]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

will see if I can finish it this very night but I wont be asking you to put your tournament on a halt for it , I finally (yesterday actually) figured out what direction its gonna take, sorry it took so long

[Guest]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Thats fine, I dont mind waiting a while but I dont want this to be a repeat of MN2

[kodster]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Really, Im stuck between getting my sweet revenge on Daniel, or taking out a potential obstacle.

Hmm...

...Ive decided Ill team-up with that obstacle. As I said, axlebots arent a problem, and the weaponry doesnt look potent enough to do much harm. Ram it straight down the pit.

[team_britespark]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Gasp!

Excellent fights, Liam, even more so because I won! (Seriously, amazing fights - you are becoming a very good writer!)

Tactacs... or Tictics

Basically act like Stinger and be annoying as heck! Spin around when one of the machines comes near me and thwack the sides and top of each opponent. Ill ignore Kodys machine because its being operated by Kody and focus the attacks on Drum Boy.

[joey_picus]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

I wont wait until I know what Under Pressure is, because Id like to team with it against Leprosy...tactics are to generally crush it and assist in getting it down the pit.

[kodster]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

In that case, focus all my attacks on Sonic Boom and be annoying as hell.

[samuel3764]

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!

Lovely....

The only way I could attack is to rip the axe clean off sonic boom... and team up with kody... if he desires.
