Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

Guess what Mr. Cuomo has given you all - some well-written Round Two fights of E.O.T.R.5!!! See who makes it to the Heat 1 Final!

ROUND TWO:
Intriguer (1) vs. The Deer
Gabriel III (17) vs. Leviathan

INTRIGUER vs. THE DEER

Booth #1: Kody K
Booth #2: Martyn F

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

WOOOSH! Intriguer is straight out of the trap, smashing into The Deer like a car smashing a brick wall! Martyn doesn€™t even have time to respond by closing his claws, as Kody uses his spiked front to smash under the ground clearance, and bring the axe down, smacking the Hardox top of The Deer€¦and he€™s dented it! Already The Deer is in trouble! Martyn winces, and turns his robot to the right, trying to find a road to the centre of the zone€¦and he€™s made it - The Deer rushes for freedom, but Intriguer€™s 17mph compared to The Deer€™s 15mph is no contest - BANG! The Deer is pummelled again, this time from behind, and Intriguer has The Deer on the ropes, as Kody presses the power button, driving The Deer into the flywheels of fury! BANG! Intriguer slams the hammer, piercing the Hardox skin this time - and Martyn is now starting to fear the worst, and Intriguer slowly edges The Deer towards the blades€¦CRACK! Martyn looks up stunned, as part of his Titanium crushers is ripped clean off the claw. Kody€™s enjoying this, as he backs up, The Deer still in his clutches, and now powers forward again! CRACK! This time, the whole claw is snapped off! This is murder. Kody€™s axe finally shakes loose, but a miracle has happened - The Deer is still moving, despite the mashing it€™s been receiving! Martyn now changes tactics - he goes from defensive to offensive; and now powers at Intriguer with his 18hp of nudge - but once again, Intriguer comes out better, with his 24hp of nudge! The Deer is SLAMMED against the wall€¦SO HARD HE€™S NEARLY THROWN OOTA! Up against the wall, Intriguer slams his hammer again, and another dent appears. Kody is now continuously firing the axe, causing dent, after dent, after dent€¦ BUT HAS NOW CAUSED A HOLE! The power of the champ is evident here, and that repeated pummelling - has it killed The Deer€¦NO IT HASN€™T! The Deer€™s wheels are still rotating€¦but they aren€™t touching the floor, and that€™s what matters, as the countdown starts to signal to continous, destructive run of the champion Intriguer!
10€¦9€¦8€¦7€¦6€¦5€¦4€¦3€¦2 €¦1€¦cease!!!
Intriguer hits the pit release button, and rushes back over to The Deer - BANG! Another hammer it, another hole in the Hardox top. Kody reverses with The Deerstill impaled on the axe, wheels of The Deer finally impossible of moving, so Kody performs the burial service with a shove€¦BANG! Into the pit goes The Deer, and into Round Two goes Intriguer!

Result:
The Deer is pummelled to death€¦oh Deery me!
INTRIGUER (1) GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!

GABRIEL III vs. LEVIATHAN

Booth #1: Joey M
Booth #2: Danny B

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

Out come both robots, at equal speeds - 15mph each. Gabriel with the narrower front is being careful, as he needs to aim correctly to get under€¦but Leviathan isn€™t being restraint in the slightest - and barrels straight into the seeded robots side, and firing that awesome Behemoth styled scoop with 1000kg of lift - and the seed flies over! Joey quickly self-rights€¦RIGHT ONTO LEVIATHAN€™S SCOOP! Danny puts all 18 of the horses powering his tracked driven machine, and shove Gabriel across the arena - and Joey can€™t escape! FLIP! The match is over in seconds, and it ends with the seed OOTA!

Result:
Gabriel III (17) is one sequel too far!
LEVIATHAN GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!

HEAT FINAL:
Intriguer (1) vs. Leviathan

Send in tactics, comments, predictions and something really fantastic for my birthday...like Jaws (last one not required until 15th of November)

Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

So EOTR5 is still movin...and without much prodding this time...cool.

Heat A Final
Intriguer (1) vs. Leviathan

First off, avoid that front (obvious, innit ), and try and grapple onto Leviathan, then send it down good ol Mr. Pit. Stay in the middle of the arena so OOTAs are unlikely for him.

Nice job Paul.

Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

Any progress on fights so far? Fanfic seems kinda empty (and it seems Ive lost the writing spirit ) so Im trying to get the other writers going. Hows the Heat Final coming along, Paul?

Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

Good news Kodster - the lack of interest from others has spurred me on - and the heat final is here! Hope you enjoy :wink:

HEAT FINAL:
Intriguer (1) vs. Leviathan

INTRIGUER vs. LEVIATHAN

Booth #1: Kody K
Booth #2: Danny B

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

The champion blasts out into the arena centre, ready for blood, drives straight into€¦no - he drives PAST Leviathan! Danny turns his machine back around to face his opposition, but not as quickly as Kody manages a turn, and a ram€¦and a hammer blow! BANG! The 6mm thick Titanium doesn€™t like that hit too much - it€™s cracked! Danny winches as he thinks of the damage, and the time it€™ll take to repair after the fight, but he quickly snaps his head back into the game, as Intriguer comes in for another hit; the tracks snap into action, reversing, then making a sharp left-reverse - he€™s side-on FACING Intriguer. He doesn€™t need time to respond - a forward push, and he€™s under Intriguer! Leviathan has the Champion on the scoop, and is pushing forward, as the reign of Intriguer draws to a close as Danny fires the flipper, and that sends Intriguer flying 5ft into the air, spinning 360* and sending him out€¦NO! Intriguer€™s landed right-side up INSIDE the arena - remarkable when you considered the power behind that flip! Kody drives away before Danny can respond, and the 2mph advantage of the champion is useful, as its back in the centre of the ring, safe from the danger of flying over the fence. Leviathan comes in, but this time, Danny doesn€™t want to waste time, and SLAMS the front of Intriguer - the smaller surface area helps in getting under the scoop - and DOWN SLAMS THE AXE! The axe slams down through the Titanium - catching hold, gaining some grip. But the axe is stuck! Both Danny and Kody push their controls forward€¦and despite the fact the Leviathan has more traction on the arena floor; he€™s getting shoved back easily by Intriguer! BANG! Straight back into the arena flywheels, splitting the rear of the Titanium body in half, but still keeping the panel attached to the body. That was a good slam by Kody€™s champion, but it€™s shaken the challenger off the axe! Danny makes good response to this, slamming the champion against the flywheel - causing almost no harm except for a few scratches to the 5mm Hardox shell, but flipping Intriguer straight onto the scoop! Danny flips the scoop on Leviathan one more time - but the angle was all wrong and just sent the champion flying OVER the top of him! Intriguer€™s lying on his back, but the axe fires - SWOOOOOOSH! A beautiful looking self-right, flying up into the air, landing on his rear, and falling back down onto his base. Leviathan rams in quick response, but Intriguer spins off the scoop before he gets flipped. Both Danny and Kody are now getting a little worried as the battle draws into the last twenty seconds. Danny decides to make the next attack, and, charging in, he gets the champion where he wants him - right on the scoop. There€™s only one thing Danny wishes to do now - FLIP! Intriguer flies over, 360* and Leviathan attacks again, speeding in with the all traction and power he has - but he still can€™t quite get Intriguer close to the walls this time! Now its Kody€™s turn - ramming in, the spikes DON€™T get under the scoop, but he fires the axe JUST in time, piercing the top, and making the effect of Leviathan€™s flip less devastating. Intriguer€™s shaken off, as he reverses and charges in quick succession; and this time, he DOES break under the scoop this time€¦
10€¦9€¦
Intriguer pushes back, slamming the challenger against the wall: now begins the hammer of blows down onto Leviathan!
€¦8€¦7€¦
Damage is caused - for the first time significant damage has been caused - holes in the Titanium armour!
€¦6€¦5€¦
More holes! But Danny fires the scoop, blocking the axe and holding it up - like a guillotine of death!
€¦4€¦3€¦
Leviathan pushes back, as the champon reverses away from peril, but SLAMMING back under the scoop, and gaining more blows, and cracking a whole panel now!
€¦2€¦1€¦CEASE!!

The end of the fight! The newcomer gave the champion a run for his money, and surely the champion wasn€™t giving up the crown that easily. We go to our judges, who will judge the fight on Dominace, Aggression, Strategy, Control and Style. They will decide who goes on to the next round - the audience think Leviathan won it, but it€™s the judges who decide.

JD - The scores:

Dominance: Intriguer started weakly, but fought back a little - a LOT at the end of the fight, and did get in some great attacks in - but the dominance mainly lied with Leviathan.

Intriguer (1): 3 x 6 = 18
Leviathan: 8 x 6 = 48

Damage: Intriguer caused MUCH more damage here - pepperpotting a panel, and splitting the back-plate with the arena hazards - whilst Intriguer only took a few scratches, which means Intriguer cuased more damage.

Intriguer (1): 10 x 5 = 50
Leviathan: 2 x 5 = 10

Aggression: At the start, Intriguer showed uncontrolled aggression, but he retained it and did show a lot of aggression at the end. Leviathan started meekly and ended meekly, but was REALLY aggressive in the middle period, and nearly got the champion out twice! This means that Leviathan edges it.

Intriguer (1): 4 x 4 = 16
Leviathan: 6 x 4 = 24

Strategy: Intriguer€™s stragety was to stay in the centre of arena, and hammer Leviathan so something breaks - that was only HALF successful, as he got near the edges a lot - but Leviathan€™s plan to throw Intriguer out wasn€™t completely successful, but it was MORE successful than Intriguer€™s plan, as he nearly sucessed twice. Therefore, Leviathan has the more stragety.

Intriguer (1): 6 x 3 = 18
Leviathan: 8 x 3 = 24

Control: Intriguer€™s attacks were more controlled, and he made getter use of the arena than Leviathan, by using the flywheels on Leviathan. But Leviathan consistently got under Intriguer and was very close to getting him out twice, but failed. So control goes to Intriguer

Intriguer (1): 10 x 2 = 20
Leviathan: 5 x 2 = 10

Style: Leviathan€™s flipping was much more stylish than Intriguer€™s axe, but Intriguer€™s axe was more fun to watch. On this category, we€™re giving it to Intriguer.

Intriguer (1): 8 x 1 = 8
Leviathan: 4 x 1 = 4

Totals:

Intriguer (1): 130
Leviathan: 120

THAT€™S IT! The audience may be booing with the decision made by the judges, but they cast the verdict on the win - and the win in this fight goes to the champion: INTRIGUER!

Result:
Leviathan fought hard to rise to glory, but instead sunk like a turd!
INTRIGUER (1) GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!!

lmao I say something, and all of a sudden a battle pops up. Though I am being truthful in saying I have kinda lost the writing spirit. :sad:

Well, a win is a win, so w00t. Awesome fight Paul, and commiserations to Danny, you did quite well.

Predictions for next heat later.

[joey_picus]

Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

...Pauls back to normal with a w00ty fight? Good to see someone other than me writing atm. :P

The second fight is close, but I can see Hatchet falling prey to the two rammers in the first.

Very good battle there Paul

Im open for team-upos here just to try and save my ass

Tactics for Gravity: Chezza, you want to team up? I could open the pit, and you can shove it in.

[kodster]

Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

Right. Bumping this so I can make predictions. I did say theyd come. Oh, and if I posted predictions previously, disregard them.

Ramthrax 2 (3) vs. Lethal Execution vs. Hatchet: Evo

It really depends on what set-up Danny B uses, but seeing as hes not around, I cant really predict that. Ramthrax, who is pretty much the oldest Alex bot in the squad (moreso than Darkestar I think, lol), to definitely go through, though.

Gravity (19) vs. Dantomkia vs. Visioned

Cant see Visioned getting a good grip on Gravity. Possibly Dantomkia though. Visioneds pretty much the same upside-down so Chezza should be okay. Im gonna say Dantomkia to get a repeat of the Series 7 semi-final Round 1 done to him. Only in more time.

Lets get this thing continued, Paul. You were doing really good.

Thats unfair.... Tengu and slaying mantis are probably of a pretty similar age lol

Re: Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

Well I did say in my Extreme Edition that I'd be hypoing the older tournuments like this, the Challenge Belt and the All-Stars. However, I did have this hypo actually fixed BEFORE my return, purely because I was bored and needed something to do, and I did actually already write up the final fights as well, so at least you're getting something.

However, little issue, since the final is already written, tactics are redundant from those taking part (sorry to break it to you as well, but two of those vapourboteers have since found pastures new :sad: ) So for the final, we'll be playing a little game - whoever predicts the final outcome the most correctly - two eliminators, the play-off and the epic final battle - will win the TROPHY OF PRIDE! Anyone up for it. Anyways, sorry bout this, but shat(ner) happens

[kodster]

Re: Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

Well, I'll have to go back on my earlier statements on no hypos, seeing as it's been so long, Paul. Still a bit sad it had to go like this, though.

But seeing as I'm in the final, w00t! Can't predict myself, so I'll say Wedge Devolution beats Apocalypse and moves on to fight either me or Danny Bailey's machine.

Awaiting the final fights.

[pmc1993]

Re: Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

Yes Kody I am a bit sorry about all of this as well. Ah well, I'm not a Time Lord, I don't have a TARDIS, and even if I did, Iwouldn't change as it would cause unprecidented damage to Time/Space continuum that may end the world
I'll be getting the hypos of the All-Stars/Challenge Belt and also the final of this asap.

However, I will be focusing on the Extreme stuff, as that's going quite well, in my opinion After that, who knows. I do plan on another Extreme series, this time called 'Adrenaline', then maybe a more scaled down version of Eye Of The Robot, more akin to series 1, which was 12 heats of 6 as opposed to 16.

However this is hopeful.

[pmc1993]

Re: Eye Of The Robot - Series 5 Re-Opened

Sorry, I did say I was gonna post the final a while ago...I didn't, but now I will due to nothing better to do
Bare in mind tho, I WROTE THESE MONTHS AGO BEFORE MY RETURN. I did my best with what was there and stuff. Please like it, but that is all I ask, please predict for the special pride cup, but except for that, no tactics. Thank you if you do predict, and correctly, and prove Kody wrong Anyway, read away...

GRAND FINAL
ELIMINATORS

Intriguer (1) vs. Cat With Wheels (11)
Wedge Devolution (14) vs. Apocalypse

From Toronto, Canada, seeded #1, INTRIGUER!!
Entered by Kody Kunz
The mysteries of this robot are best kept hidden - especially since it€™s the champion! This robot is an ulta-low box 10cm in height, coloured green and cyan, with two spikes at the front that act as a super low scoop using the surface area rule, is a powerful force, using 4 wheels coated with urethane rubber, powered by 2 x LEM130€™s at 48V, providing a bit more power than the 36V ones, as this robot has 24hp in its power supply. The axe on this robot is Titanium, with a 5cm long solid Hardox axe-head, diamond edged, designed to pierce Titanium no issue, and dent Hardox easily using 2 x 2.5kg CO2 bottles, both at a pressure of 250psi. The armour on this robot is 5mm Hardox, very hard to cut or dent. The champion is a force to be reckoned with, but with a 4-9mm ground clearance, it€™ll have to reckon with powerful flippers€¦

In E.O.T.R 1: Didn€™t enter.

In E.O.T.R 2: Didn€™t enter.

In E.O.T.R 3: Didn€™t enter.

In E.O.T.R 4: Used that axe to good work in Round One by hacking into Paralyzation, and with help from 21st seed Turbo Tails, was able to pit it. And then we were treated to the biggest shock in the series, as Intrigue faced off against 5th seed Black Panther Queen - they both exchanged axe blows, until Intrigue got its axe into the ABC armour of its opponent, it then powered the seed down the pit! 21st seed Turbo Tails proved a little tougher in the Heat Final, as it flipped Intrigue and attacked the base panel, but Intrigue stopped the spinning of the and then finally pitted the Scottish design! Big Nipper drove towards planning a victory against Intrigue in Round Four, but Kody€™s robot was able to bash Big Nipper€™s armour and push it down the pit, but in Round Five, we saw Intrigue€™s new biggest surprise when 1st seed and reigning champion Kali had every reason to beat it, but Intrigue overcame it, grabbed on with the axe and confined the Champion to the pit! In the final Eliminator, it started off badly with Storm 2, the 4th seed, grabbing a hold and pushing Intrigue into a wall, but he recovered well and performed another pitting and getting through to the Grand Final where fellow unseeded newcomer, Fire And Ice, also give Intrigue a pit of hassle, before Intrigue brought his axe into play, snapping a track, and leaving Fire And Ice immobilised, and making Intrigue the champion!

In E.O.T.R 5 (SEEDED 1): The first two rounds in the heat were breeze-easy for Intriguer, as he immobilised The Grudge before Leviathan disposed of him, and then straight after KOing The Deer in gruesome fashion. However, the Heat Final was the hardest battle the Champion has encountered so far, where Leviathan was all over Intriguer, nearly getting the Champion out the arena twice. However, Kody fought back strong to score a highly controversial JD. The Semi-Finals were much easier, with the deadly Sakura causing only dents and scratches before being pitted in the first Semi-Final battle and facing Big Nipper again, this time seeded #8, who flipped the champion over at the start before the pummelling of the hammer put Intriguer in the final!

From Bedford, seeded #11, Cat With Wheels!!
Entered by Danny Bailey
A robot with a surreal name is a robot with a real chance of winning. It may win through using its highly effective wedge-shape to help bring his front-hinged, high pressure C02 flipper, powered by two rams running at 500psi into play! The motors in this thing are 2 x S28-150 Magmotors running at 24V to give 12hp and a speed of great pace - 18mph! The 2 Vulkalon wheels provide ultimate traction and the 7mm Titanium armour is quite good, but not great and may fall to some of the arena hazards!

In E.O.T.R 4: In Round One helped team-up with 31st seed Cyclone Force 2.5 - armed with the disc - in order to help remove Turbulence, as the ex-UK Champion was flipped over repeatedly and shunted down by Cyclone Force 2.5! In Round Two, we saw an unbelievable shock, as 15th seed Flick Of The Wrist bossed Cat With Wheels around the arena, pressed the pit release button, but as it was about to ram Cat With Wheels down the pit, the flying Dutchman drove over the wedge and fell in instead! However, Cat With Wheels wasn€™t going to get passed Cyclone Force 2.5 without a struggle, until the vapourbot Storm-lookalike was stacked against the side, putting Cat With Wheels into the Semis! Straight after beating a Storm clone, it took on the actual Storm 2, seeded 4th. The match went badly, as Storm 2 rammed him around the arena for a majority of the battle before successfully stacking Cat With Wheels on the wall to be counted out. Cat With Wheels was freed afterwards and managed to pit the powerhouse realie, but too late to count.

In E.O.T.R 5: (SEEDED 11) The cat has had a very good run throughout the competiton, after throwing both Bulldog Breed and Axetra around the arena and taking the attempted attacks from both robots with little damage, before finally throwing a tenacious Axetra over the barrier, before scoring a 10 second pitting against Requiem as Cat With Wheels just pressed the button and throw the Welsh drummer in. The Heat Final against 27th seed Super Gore Revo was almost as easy as the first round, as the gripping claws kept scraping rather than damaging before the clawed robot went over the barrier. The semi-finals were much harder, as the vicious FBB Dervish: Generation X caused serious damage to the Titanium armour of the seed, until a shocking turnaround, as Cat With Wheels pushed Dervish onto the ramming spikes, stopping the beater, allowing Cat With Wheels to get underneath and ram Dervish across the arena and throw him out! Even more shocking than that was the defeat of 13th seed and previous Grand Finalist Achilles: the match was a flip fest, with Cat With Wheels dominating slightly, scoring an impressive flip on an open-flipper Achilles that disabled the weapon and left the seed and very experienced veteran stuck on the wall, putting Cat With Wheels, 11th seed into the Grand Final!

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

And we€™re off! The final of another E.O.T.R championship is underway, as both the 1st seed and the 11th seed move into the centre of the arena. Kody is trying to keep his narrower front facing Cat With Wheels so he can get underneath€¦AND HE CHARGES!! But Kody has has a driving error, leaving him vulnerable to a side-on attack to Cat With Wheels, and Intriguer is carried to the arena wall, fires the axe, hitting the Titantium and digging into the top a little€¦FLIP!! The 100kg of champion hits the Hardox wall hard, but Intriguer doesn€™t go over, instead he hits the wall before landing back down. Kody breathes a loud breath of relief, recovering from a terrible error that could€™ve lost him his crown. The judges make note, marking down Intriguer for control and stragety, but marking Cat With Wheels up. Kody seems aware of this, as he reverses over to the pit release button, being careful to keep the wedge facing the front of the worthy opponent. Cat With Wheels charges at the front, missing the wedge and hitting under the front around the wedge, and throwing the champion against the wall once more! Intriguer lands back down on his wheels, and drives quickly from the Cat, who is now in hot pursuit and on form to win this match and get to the Grand Final. Now in the centre, Intriguer waits as Danny comes to him€¦Danny moves in quickly, BUT INTRIGUER IS UNDER THIS TIME!! And now, Intriguer powers the 11th seed into the corner, and now begins the halestorm of axe blows, knocking the Titanium top away from the chassis with the plate buckled and dented, but not completely off. Kody is told to back off, and thus Intriguer reverses, only to be chased by an aggressive Cat With Wheels back to the centre, as Cat With Wheels rams into the front of Intriguer AND UNDERNEATH!! Activates the axe, hacking with the rack-and-pinion mechanism as Cat With Wheels with the damaged top hits the arena wall and flips€¦and Intriguer is stuck on the wall!! He€™s stuck with the axe overhanging the wall, as Kody swings the axe up in a half-hearted attempt to get free€¦but it€™s not working!! And worse than that, the countdown has started, as Danny places down his controls as the crown of the current champion leaves his head!
10€¦9€¦8€¦7€¦6€¦5€¦4€¦3€¦2 €¦1€¦cease!!!

Result:
Intriguer (1) is left wondering as to how he lost!!
CAT WITH WHEELS (11) GOES THROUGH TO THE GRAND FINAL!!!

From Scotland, seeded #14, Wedge Devolution!!
Entered by Steven McGregor
Welcome one of the most simplistic but effective vapourbots ever! It€™s a low, sleek 4mm Hardox protected wedge, powered by 2 x LEM130€™s for 18hp in the drive! 16mph is the need, and flipping is its need with the classic rear-hinged flipper design The flipper itself is powered by 2 X 80mm high pressure pneumatic rams, each running at 250psi. This should allow Wedge to comfortably flip up to 1 ton! The 7mm ground clearance is protected on ALL sides by BioHazard style skirts, and a front extension to get under everything! It can self-right easily, but with only 2kg worth of gas on board, it could run out of power quite early!

In E.O.T.R 1: Appeared in the first ever E.O.T.R battle with Y4 and Flipping Hell. Y4 overturned Flipping Hell, which killed itself, putting Wedge and Y4 into Round Two, where Wedge easily bossed over Invertex to win the JD 49-26. But in the Heat Final, the series shocker Y4 flipped it into the now-removed bot-shredders to immobilise it, making Wedge crash out of the competition!

In E.O.T.R 2: (SEEDED 11) The removal of the bot-shredders proved to help Wedge greatly, as it tossed Merlin and Rouge about the place before it was assisted in an OOTA by Merlin, and Rouge went flying! GeForce Evo 3.0 needed to evolve once more, as Wedge got under and flipped it out easily! Merlin was the next victim to say goodbye to the arena in the Heat Final, despite being trapped by Merlin. However, its greatest task came in the form of 23rd seed Psyclonised, who broke off both of the side panels, but Wedge converted to bravery mode and then shockingly flipped Psyclonised OOTA! But in Round Five, it had an ultra-close battle against 2nd seed Storm 2, and they had an extreme battle, where Storm 2 won, by a JD 38-37.

In E.O.T.R 3: (SEEDED 6) Took out Tough As Nails quite early, after struggling with Infusion, but Tough As Nails went OOTA, before its greatest challenge against the almighty Sheer Heart Attack 2. The Dutch machine battered it, but the drum was grounded to a halt by constant pressuring from the seed who then pitted it! Then a grudge match against 22nd seed GeForce 4.0. A one-sided flipping battle which ended with GeForce landing on its opened flipper. GeForce then got back and then got revenge by flipping Wedge OOTA, but that was after the count, so Wedge won through! 10th seed Orka MK.4 bossed Wedge in Round Four, but Wedge finally got it on the flipper to toss it OOTA, but in the Quarter Finals, it took on newcomer Eternia, which proved to have the lower flipper and so it flipped Wedge all through the fight to win on a JD.

In E.O.T.R 4: (SEEDED 7) Started off the first Round by flipping about realie Iron Awe 5 with his own awesome flipper and the help of SOR Hex, before throwing Iron Awe 5 OOTA. In Round Two, an axe vs. flipper battle ensued where Axe To Fall fell over the barrier after being thrown about by Wedge, before the 7th seed fell victim to the improved 23rd seed Die-Ceratops ReInvertus and became an OOTA victim himself.

In E.O.T.R 5: (SEEDED 14) The seeded wedge started off his best run in E.O.T.R by throwing out realie Disc-O-Inferno in a matter of seconds, before doing the same to another realie, X-Terminator, who despite getting a good hit in with the disc, soom flew over the fence. Then the fast and powerful rammer Noo Monsoon, who joined Wedge through the first round battle, had a closely contested battle with the seed until the seed stacked the troublesome Welsh rammer on the side of the arena to win to the Semi-Finals, where his first battle was against former champion and 5th seed Kali. The battle was more strategy than previous battles for either competitor, with both robots relying on control to win. In a battle with only 2 flips from either competitor which both were scored by Wedge, Wedge was able to take the JD based on aggression, before beating vastly improved robot Disco 5 after a thrilling match of flips and disc hits before the once-impressive Disco 5 crashed on the outside of the ring, giving Wedge Devolution his first ever Grand Final!

From Cardiff, Wales, Apocalypse!!

Here comes the end. And the end in this case comes in the form of a 30 degrees wedge, armoured in 4mm Hardox with 5mm Titanium skirts. It has 6 wheel drive, with the wheels slanted att an angle in order to keep perfect control. These 6 wheels have 2 x B42-500 Magmotors on board, providing 17mph speeds and 60hp of pushing power - more than most rammers in this competition produce. To be honest though, with the flipper producing over 2 tonnes of lift, easily capable of throwing robots in a manner similar to Gravity and Wheely Big Cheese, or any other amazing flipper out there. At face value, this seems like the full package, but underneath, there€™s a weak-ish base panel that will come under fire from any flipper axe combos in the competition and that would be the end for Apocalypse.

In E.O.T.R 4: Didn€™t enter.

In E.O.T.R 5: The newcomer flipper didn€™t have the best first Round in the competition possible, as he teamed up with 16th seed Killobite 5.0 on Behemoth-on-steriods design of ISDSFA, and despite throwing ISDSFA around, the seed was pitted by ISDSFA instead, essentially making the team-up fail. The Second Round was much easier as it was a flipper vs. flipper match, over in less than 30 seconds, as the Welsh flipper Pure Evil: Back 2 Basics was dummied out by the driving from Liam and tossed OOTA. ISDSFA was the Heat Finalist, and easy victim; despite the first flip in the battle was being performed on Apocalypse by ISDSFA, Liam showed off his machines incredible self-right, before getting under and tossing Frank OOTA. In the Semis, Eye Of Ran, the powerful new spinner was another victim, as the spinner tried to damage the Hardox and failed as Apocalypse sent him flying before gaining a narrow win in his hardest match so far against 2nd seed Phoenix Down; the runner-up last time rammed Apocalypse around the ring and Apocalypse wasn€™t able to flip PD in a position to make it count€¦until the last 15 seconds of battle, when PD went flying OOTA and Apocalypse went flying though!!

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

Off they go, with Wedge getting out of the starting zone just before Apocalypse as they both speed into the centre of the arena; the flippers clang against each other, but both of them cancel the other out! This is when the power of Apocalypse matters, driving Wedge across the arena and into the spikes, causing little damage to the Hardox, but damge nonetheless. Liam reverses to get a run up and now Steve drives forward, and WEDGE IS UNDERNEATH!! And Steve activates the famous flipper and up and over goes Apocalypse, but Liam turns on his own more powerful flipper, as Apocalypse flies up in a 3ft 180 degrees up, landing perfectly on his wheels. Wedge comes in again, and THE FLIPPER IS UNDER! This time Steve is trying for an OOTA as he drives his opponent towards the wall€¦but the flipper doesn€™t give the power this time as Apocalypse merely goes into a roll. Wedges flipper comes down, BUT NOT BEFORE LIAM GETS UNDERNEATH THE DECLINING FLIPPER HIMSELF!! Liam tries to turn Wedge to face the wall, but can€™t quite, instead opting to throw the seeded flipper over in a style double somersault with Wedge landing over on the rebound. Steve activates his self-righter, but isn€™t very powerful€¦and we can see why - the CO2 canister has been leaking since the hit on the spikes! Steve starts to panic, especially since Liam is underneath now - FLIP! A massive 180 flip that sends Wedge crashing upside-down on the wall! Steve activates his flipper, once again landing on the wedge of Apocalypse€¦AND FLIP!! Wedge flies up and crashes down again€¦but not on the right side of the wall this time. The crowd woops as newcomer Liam Eliot and Apocalypse make it through as Steve graciously accepts his defeat.
