The Fighting Vapourbots Association League - Kody Kunzs tactics and predictions

Heat A

Do or Die vs. Salamander III vs. Axe to Fall vs. Grim Reaper

Grim Reaper to go, and I think Do or Die or Axe to Fall to join the Reaper.

Wedge Devolution vs. ??? vs. Death Threat 0.2 vs. Topsy Turvy

Wedge Devo through...and maybe Death Threat as well.

Heat winner: Wedge Devo or Salamander

Heat B
Catus Catus 8.1 vs. Ge5orce vs. Bloody Mary vs. Killotine: EVO

Killotine and Ge5orce easily.

Weapon Synergy Unleashed vs. Secret vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus vs. MeCannibal 3.0

Sorry, Daniel, but I do not think you will last long here. MeCannibal has improved greatly now, and it wont one-hit KO itself...but its still going out...of the arena. XD

Heat winner: Ge5orce, Killotine, and Die-Ceratops have the best chances.

Heat C
Disco 5 vs. SoR X vs. Cyclone Force 3 vs. The Botles Reunited

Disco through for sure...its between SoR X and Cyclone Force to make it through.

The May Tracks Has You vs. Nidhogg vs. Blue Sparks vs. Requiem

May Tracks through...Nidhogg to join.

Heat winner: Disco 5

Heat D
Leprosy Infection vs. The Quaestor III vs. Turbo Tails vs. Apocalypse

Turbo Tails out...probably Quaestor to join him out.

Wedginator Devilution vs. Masamune vs. Baldur vs. Star 69

I was wondering when my bots would appear. Right, Baldur is no threat, but its no use going after anyway, so Ill ignore it and attack the other two. Masamune looks an excellent shape to toss OOTA if I can get it from the side, and Star 69 looks stackable.

Heat winner: Leprosy Infection

Heat E
Gabriel III vs. Hatchet: EVO vs. ??? vs. Champagne

Depends, but Gabriel will scrape through most likely.

ISDSFA vs. Slammer VI vs. Dolce vs. Axes of Evil

Dolce can cause problems for ISDSFA...it and the new Slammer to go through.

Heat winner: Slammer or Gabriel.

Heat F
Gulp vs. Achilles vs. The 6isc vs. Sithis

Does anybody get the feeling that Achilles is becoming overrated? Sithis and The 6isc through.

The Zodiac vs. ??? vs. Sheer Heart Attack 2 vs. Panicking Still?

KILL THEM ALL! SPIN UP, TEAR THEM APART, SHOW THEM NO MERCY!

Heat winner: If its not me, itll be The 6isc.

Heat G
Systematic Shocker vs. Sheer Hell vs. DreamCatcher vs. Dreadnaught

Uh...bye Dreadnaught. I think Systematic Shocker will crash out as well.

Tri-Tainium vs. Tengu VII vs. The Deer vs. All Scoop And No Stab Make Steve A Dull Boy

The Deer and All Scoop through. Tengu is strong but The Deer is stronger.

Heat winner: The Deer or All Scoop.

Heat H
St. Hammer vs. Crimson Thunder vs. Eye of Ran vs. PsycloniZer

Crimson Thunder and PsycloniZer, for me.

Intriguer vs. Hot Sauce vs. Spring-BOK! vs. Under Pressure

Martijns horizontal crusher...assuming thats what its going to be, I propose a team-up with Chezza and take it out, since Hot Sauce looks to be quite promising seeing it strut its stuff in VV. Drive straight into the loving arms of Under Pressure and hack it to death, try and get it into the pit. Then focus on Chris comedy bot.

Heat winner: PsycloniZer or Hot Sauce

Heat I
Lethal Execution vs. Namie€™s Style vs. Flaming Hell vs. Rammy Mk 3

Flaming Hell through, Martyn out, one of the other two to join Flaming Hell.

Super Gore Revo vs. Knyfe vs. ??? vs. Black Panther

Taking out another of Pauls overweight vapourbots...time for the piercing claws. Go for Knyfes side and crunch in, and drag to pit. Repeat with the unknown vapour. Black Panther doesnt sound too promising to attack so avoid it.

Heat winner: Flaming Hell

Heat J
Cat With Wheels vs. The Rock vs. Dervish: Generation X vs. Flick of the Wrist

Flick through for sure, dunno wholl join.

Monolith vs. ??? vs. Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Brutalis 2.0

Id say Spin Dash Unleashed has this battle in the bag.

Heat winner: Honestly, I cant pick between Flick or Spin Dash.

Heat K
DVD: The Sequel vs. Wedga€™s Revenge vs. ??? vs. Juiced Oil

Two drums...I think Wedga is toast.

Supreme vs. The Saint vs. Life & Death vs. E Clawdius Unum

SUPREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME! Clawdius will likely cruise alongside him.

Heat winner: Supreme.

Heat L
Heyght vs. With or Without You vs. Macduff the 3rd vs. Tempest Evil-est-oution

Box-rush the hell out of Tempest using the long wedge. Feed it to Without You and watch them both die, then shove With you into the pit, thus giving Paul a ticket through.

Weird Alice vs. Noo Monsoon vs. Leviathan vs. ???

Noo Monsoon definitely through...dunno wholl join him.

Heat winner: Noo Monsoon

Heat M
Another Night At The Bar vs. Sakura vs. Killobite 5.0 vs. Exertion

Oh dear. :sad: This doesnt look to be my fight. Concentrate attacks on Exertion and feed it to the other two spinners. I expect Andy will try to do the same to me so pour on the aggression. If all else fails, box-rush Another Night at the Bar...and feed IT to Sakura.

Mega Masher 2 vs. No Exceptions vs. Visioned vs. LockJaw Epidemic

Mega Masher gone. Visioned or LockJaw to follow suit.

Heat winner: Another Night at the Bar

Heat N
Seung Mina IV vs. Door Stops vs. Obliteration vs. Back to Rock III

Flip them all out.

Rupture vs. ??? vs. WORCK-ER vs. Flipping Hell

Rupture to rupture WORCK-ERs chances and go through with Flipping Hell.

Heat winner: Me Oh wait...Flipping Hell.

Heat O
??? vs. Axe-O-Lotl vs. Liar 2 vs. Axeon 3.0

Probably both axes to go through.

Nitro-Gene 4.0 vs. Dante vs. vs. Phoenix Down vs. Disco Boogie

Phoenix Down and Dante through.

Heat winner: Axe-O-Lotl, Axeon, and Phoenix Down are the most likely candidates.

Heat P
Orka MK 4 vs. ArchAngel of the Abyss vs. Hell Machine vs. Forklift 2

ArchAngel and Hell Machine FTW.

Tira IV vs. Pure Evil: Back To Basics vs. Whirligig 4.5 vs. Extravagant

Uhh...complete war of attrition. Id like to get revenge of Whirligig right away but something tells me that would be stupid. In any case, Ill attack Pure Evil straight away and do what I did with Wedga in Returners: try and damage that flipper so it doesnt work. Then attack whoever has sustained the most damage out of Steve or Chezza.

Heat winner: Whirligig; I hate it, and because I hate it, it keeps winning. Loving it does nothing.

----

And guess what? IM writing Heat A! Bwaaaahaha...of course, my predictions for that Heat will differ completely from the actual results...stay tuned!

[paulc]

The Fighting Vapourbots Association League!

OK - if this is fine, this is Nitro-Gene 5.0, the replacement Nitro which I intend to enter.

NITRO-GENE 5.0

€ WEIGHT: 100kg

€ ARMOUR: 4mm Hardox monocoque for the body. 5mm Hardox flipper. Inside the body, there€™s 1cm of Vulkanised rubber on the sides and rear, with 3cm on the front to help fight powerful spinners, and theres also 5cm of PU foam covering the motors and flipper rams inside for protection.

€ SHAPE: Low invertible box with sides and rear angled in a shape, with the rear angled . The front is completely flat, making it useful at hitting into things and bashing. All the lines have been curved over to make it harder for a spinner to grab onto a panel and rip.

€ MOTORS: 4 x LEM 130€™s at 36V = 36HP

€ LOCOMOTION: 4 Vulkanised Wheels, each is 20mm in diameter, and they€™re also 180mm in diameter.

€ DIMENSIONS: (L) 75CM (Extension included) (H) 15CM (W) 70CM

€ COLOUR: Dark Blue all over with the flipper coloured red with the name imblazed on the flipper (running vertically down the robot) in gold writing with a thick silver outline. All the edges of the robot are coloured gold.

€ WEAPONRY: A full pressure Nitrogen powered flipper at 1000psi, using a single 90mm ram at 1000psi. The flipper is mounted in the middle of the robot, and is 20cm wide and runs 60cm up the body. Using a 5cm long 10mm thick Titanium wedge underneath the flipper, and a heavy flipping arm, the flipper runs completely along the ground. Running on a ratio 2.2:1, the flipper produces 1600kg of force at the tips, allowing me to launch anyone away! This version has enough lift to get a robot of equal size 11-6ft into the air, and throw it 11-6ft along. This version has 2 x 1.5kg Nitrogen bottles, giving me 23 flips! The flipper has enough power to self-right Nitro-Gene 5.0 in a super stylish 540* somersault!

€ SPEED: 18mph

€ GROUND CLEARANCE: 0CM-1CM. At the front, it is completely 0mm. On the skirted sides/rear, its 1cm. 4mm Titanium skirts held on by Hardox hindges are mounted on the sides/rear and join up at the corners, making it harder to get under.

€ STRENGTH: Pushing power and weaponry.

€ WEAKNESS: High ground clearance underneath skirts.

PAUL!!!

WHEN. WILL. YOU. GET. THE. FACT. THROUGH. YOUR. HEAD. THAT. HARDOX. ARMOUR. AND. 4. LEM130S. AND. A. FULL. PRESSURE. NITROGEN. FLIPPER. WILL. NOT FIT. IN. A. 100KG. ROBOT????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

Not accepted.

[paulc]

The Fighting Vapourbots Association League!

What if I made it 2 x LEM130s but ran them at 48V?

[kodster]

The Fighting Vapourbots Association League!

Near borderline, but that would be okay.

[joey_picus]

The Fighting Vapourbots Association League!

Argh...my head hurts after reading that. Some rather nasty lineups there too...Id agree with Kody that Gabriel and Phoenix Down are my best chances though.

Predictions? You must be joking.

Wasnt that MY suggestion??

[razerdave]

The Fighting Vapourbots Association League!

Hey Paul

Yes, if you used just 2 motors youd still have a Storm 2 type power about your robot, and will likely bring you underweight and, although I know its vapourbots, I would like to point out that Nitrogen has been outlawed by the FRA, and CO2 will not actually get to 1000PSI unless your flipper ram was connected beside the ram (After having a lengthy discussion with Leo about this), the max working pressure of most flipper robots (Kronic included) is 725PSI

Ill be posting my robots tactics when we reach their heats.

Or, in the case of Death Threat, when I know the fourth combatant

Post away, Matt.

[kodster]

The Fighting Vapourbots Association League!

Okay, due to a last-minute switch, AJ is doing the Heat A first battle, not me. :P

[joey_picus]

The Fighting Vapourbots Association League!

Right, due to me being unlikely to have internet access for a period of time in a while, if someone could please inform me what heats I am supposed to be writing, I shall write them and have someone post them in absentia. Thankyou :P

In other news, its...

+1>THE OTHER INCORRECT PREDICTIONS!
-2>and some tactics as well, if youre into that sort of thing

Heat A

Do or Die vs. Salamander III vs. Axe to Fall vs. Grim Reaper
Salamander and Axe to go through here.

Wedge Devolution vs. BIACS-LE vs. Death Threat 0.2 vs. Topsy Turvy
Wedge, yes, we already know Wedge is through, why are we even bothering? Hmmm...oh, I have to predict someone else? Death Threat then.

WINNER: Wedge or Salamander

Heat B

Catus Catus 8.1 vs. Ge5orce vs. Bloody Mary vs. Killotine: EVO
Ge5orce and Catus

Weapon Synergy Unleashed vs. Secret vs. Die-Ceratops Re-Invertus vs. MeCannibal 3.0
Secret is probably through, and DC-RI is definitely out, but between Dan and Paul its close...Ill buck the trend and go with Weapon Synergy.

WINNER: Ge5orce

Heat C

Disco 5 vs. SOR X vs. Cyclone Force 3 vs. The Botles Reunited
Disco and SoR

The May Tracks Has You vs. NIDHOGG vs. Blue Sparks vs. Requiem
Right, one of my bots here...Ill ask Frank if hes open to teaming, as I can stop Requiems drum with the weaponry, cant see it doing all that much to me, and the standard Nidhogg tactics of lift, crush, pit, in should work well. If Blue Sparks is still around, do the same.

WINNER: SoR X or May Tracks

Heat D

Leprosy Infection vs. QUAESTOR III vs. Turbo Tails vs. Apocalypse
Steve, wanna team up? I shall go for Chriss drum thing, it poses little threat to my armour and I shall axe, lift, flip, and generally dominate it. Same goes for Apocalypse if its still in one piece.

Wedginator Devilution vs. Masamune vs. Baldur vs. *69
Wedginator and Masamune

WINNER: Wedginator or Tails, with me as an outside chance.

Heat E

GABRIEL III vs. Hatchet: EVO vs. Boxed In vs. Champagne
Dan and I are allegedly teaming up (MSN) so I shall go for one of the other two and flip, and then do the same for the other one. Might even get a bit of spinning in there as well. Who knows? Not me.

ISDSFA vs. Slammer VI vs. Dolce vs. Axes of Evil
ISDSFA and Slammer. Moving on...

HEAT WINNER: I reckon I have half a chance here, but if not then Slammer or Champagne.

Heat F

Gulp vs. Achilles vs. The 6isc vs. Sithis
Sithis is probably through, the others are quite close though.

The Zodiac vs. Roo 2 vs. Sheer Heart Attack 2 vs. Panicking Still?
Zodiac and SHA2, methinks...

WINNER: Sithis, 6isc, or SHA2.

Heat G

Systematic Shocker vs. Sheer Hell vs. DreamCatcher vs. DREADNAUT (take note of spelling)
My tactics are to stay away. From everything that may potentially harm me. That includes Sheer Hell, Systematic Shocker, DreamCatcher, the arena hazards, the arena walls, the floor, the audience, the drivers, the air, the..just about everything actually.

Tri-Tainium vs. Tengu VII vs. The Deer vs. All Scoop and No Stab
Tengu and The Deer?

WINNER: Tengu.

Heat H

St. Hammer vs. Crimson Thunder vs. EYE OF RAN vs. PsycloniZer
Stay away from PsycloniZer AT ALL COSTS. AND I MEAN ALL COSTS. IF IT IS COMING TOWARDS ME, GET THE HELL AWAY. DO NOT DRIVE NEAR IT, DO NOT ATTACK IT, DO NOT GO AROUND IT IN A MANNER FROM WHICH IT COULD DRIVE INTO ME, DO NOT LURE IT ANYWHERE, TAKE THE RISK OF PINGBACK ROM THE ARENA WALL RATHER THAN REVERSE INTO IT.
Right, now thats cleared up, I can take out St. HAmmer fairly easily with the blade, its got big shreddable wheels, and then I shall turn the bar on Crimson Thunder, rev it to max and try and kill it with shock damage.
If Andy wants to team up so I can stay away from him safely, then that could be arranged. :P

Intriguer vs. Hot Sauce vs. Spring-BOK! vs. Under Pressure
Intriguer and Hot Sauce

WINNER: Psy or Hot Sauce

Heat I

Lethal Execution vs. Namie€™s Style vs. Flaming Hell vs. Rammy Mk 3
Flaming Hell probably, and a random one out of the other three :P

Super Gore Revo vs. Knyfe vs. Riptile 3 vs. Black Panther
Riptile, if its as good as Matty says it will be, and Super Gore

WINNER: Super Gore or Riptile

Heat J

Cat With Wheels vs. The Rock vs. Dervish: Generation X vs. Flick of the Wrist
Flicky and Cat With Wheels

Monolith vs. Hacked off Haka vs. Spin Dash Unleashed vs. Brutalis 2.0
Haka, Brutalis, and Spin Dash all have a chance. The unbreakable Monolith will be broken :P


Heat K

DVD: The Sequel vs. Wedga€™s Revenge vs. Back 2 Basics vs. Juiced Oil
B2B and Juiced Oil

Supreme vs. The Saint vs. LIFE & DEATH vs. E Clawdius Unum
Split, go for seperate people, await annihilation. Next!

WINNER: Clawdius, Supreme, or B2B

Heat L

Heyght vs. With or Without You vs. Macduff the 3rd vs. Tempest Evil-est-oution
Tempest definitely, and Macduff likely to be alongside him.

Weird Alice vs. Noo Monsoon vs. Leviathan vs. PowerPoint The Thrasher 5
Aside from Weird Alice :P any of them could go through.

WINNER: Tempest or Macduff

Heat M

Another Night At The Bar vs. Sakura vs. Killobite 5.0 vs. Exertion
Tough one...anything except the horriffically unstable ANATB will go through :P

Mega Masher 2 vs. NO EXCEPTIONS vs. Visioned vs. LockJaw Epidemic
Liam, wanna team up here? Spin up, go for either Mega Masher or Visioned, and do general battle stuff.

WINNER: Sakura, Killobite, or Exertion.

Heat N

Seung Mina IV vs. Door Stops vs. Obliteration vs. Back to Rock III
Back To Rock and Seung Mina.

Rupture vs. Hypertension Mk 3 vs. WORCK-ER vs. Flipping Hell
WORCKER and Rupture...to go out. :P

WINNER: Seung Mina

Heat O

??? vs. Axe-O-Lotl vs. Liar 2 vs. Axeon 3.0
Whats that ??? doing there? Get it out! Axe-O-Lotl to follow it.

Nitro-Gene 4.0 vs. Dante vs. vs. PHOENIX DOWN vs. Disco Boogie
Right, I have explained to people involved my issues with the pneumatics on Nitro-Gene so I will use a claw and a saw and go for that first. Then, I shall ram the others around until one of them dies or falls down the pit. :P

WINNER: This is definitely my best chance, so its either me or Axeon.

Heat P

Orka MK 4 vs. ArchAngel of the Abyss vs. Hell Machine vs. Forklift 2
Uh...AAotA and Hell Machine.

Tira IV vs. Pure Evil: Back To Basics vs. Whirligig 4.5 vs. Extravagant
Im not touching this one. Seriously, any two of these four could go through.

WINNER: AAotA or any of the ones in the second melee.

There ya go. :P

[Guest]

The Fighting Vapourbots Association League!

Team up accepted Joey!

And also, if Steve and Joey team up against us in Heat D Chris I propose we fight back! Tails is no match for Leprosy and Apocalypse has banished the Quaestor before.

Heat A tactics depend on the fourth robot, but I am open for team-ups.
