Gutted I was on hoilday when sign-ups opened, but I may as well predict.

Liams Wrong and therefore pointless predictionssss

I can see the champ and Ge5orce heading through, Megabyte will get flipped and Hells Teeth may get KOed or OOTAed

The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

Now for the heat winners, I will ignore the heats with me in it for now since I€™ll be trying damn hard to win all 8 of them, lol.
Or at least as much as possible€¦

Heat B - This heat can go MANY ways but Wedge Devolution has traditionally been the best robot of these. I€™ll place outside bets on Dervish and Panicking€¦

Heat C - Much has been said of Baldur but MANY robots here will have problems taking him out€¦ This heat will depend much on who will draw who but I lean towards Baldur€¦ Gravity might beat him though€¦ or Return of Feedback perhaps€¦

Heat H - Achilles is clearly the favourite here, but outside bets on Bubonic Plague and Cat With Wheels and Fling can be considered€¦

Heat I - Wedga or Whirligig or ArchAngel, but probably one of the first too€¦

Heat K - Hypertension had most going for it here, but Salamander, Orka and The Deer are all good bots. Dreamcatcher had bad luck with its draw imo.

Heat M - The 6isc will win this because he€™s The 6isc. Unless Supreme wins because he€™s Supreme . My guess is The 6isc.

Heat O - SoR X I guess€¦

Heat P - Tempest I guess, though Die-Ceratops took it out twice before€¦

The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

CYCLONE FORCE 3
Attach the scoop and use it to deal with Warhead. Keep on the good side of Pure Evil.

Y4
Thor is my target, but flip anyone who comes near.

C.T.R
Overthrow X-Terminator immediately onto its back, then aim for Axetra.

MEGA MASHER 2
I propose a teamie with Clawdius to take out the other two. Use my strength and resilience.

ORKA MK4
Do a Behemoth on Hypno-Disc.

LEPROSY INFECTION
Spin up the drum and feel out the other robots, one by one. Whoever crumbles better is the one I attack.

AXE-O-LOTL
Use resilience on Typhoon 2. Cant really use proper tactics until Mattys 7th robot is posted.

DIE-CERATOPS RE-INVERTUS
Throw anyone I can get to out, regardless.

More detailed stats will be up closer the time.

The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

Time for some heat winner predictions:

Heat A - Sheer Heart Attack has this one
Heat B - Wedge Devolution, but Dervish and Black Panther are possible
Heat C - Anyone from the second melee could win it
Heat D - Cyclone Force 3 or Liar 2
Heat E - The May Tracks Has You€¦ maybe Thor as a dark horse
Heat F - Tengu, Flick or Disco - difficult heat
Heat G - Back to Rock III
Heat H - Clawdius or Achilles
Heat I - ArchAngel, Whirligig or Sakura
Heat J - Sneijder of course!
Heat K - Maybe€¦ The Deer
Heat L - I like Cacodemon€™s chances
Heat M - Supreme or The 6isc
Heat N - Either of the seeds
Heat O - Masamune or Axe-O-Lotl
Heat P - Any of the 8, but I€™ll say Tempest

«Sheer Heart Attack 2 vs. Ge5orce vs. Megabyte vs. Hell€™s Teeth»

I€™m definitely up for the team-up, Martijn. I€™ll let the champion take care of Hell€™s Teeth while I go after Megabyte. Hopefully my armour can stand up to the hits while I give it a few big flips. Its poor self-righting abilities should mean that it is quickly eliminated.

It is looking cool, Kody, good luck! I€™ll give my tactics as each heat comes round.

Tactics for Axes of Evil:
Go for turbulence. I dont know anything about it other than a video on google video, but the armour doesnt look *too* tough. If I manage to take it out, Ill go for Naughty Girl, and see if I can shake loose some electronics.

The rest of the tactics will come when they are required.

The Crash & Burn Tournament 3

BAd news all...and Im NOT lying. I can ask Kody to confrim this if nessacary.
C&B3 is cancelled. Kodys dad is moving to Arabia as a translator, and Kody has no choice but to come with him. However, in Arabia, he has no free time, PERIOD. So that means he wont be able to write any fights.
However, he will still be able to make a hypothetical tourny on who he would think he win, without any details of the fight [At least, thats what I think he means by that]
THis is for those who havent heard on MSN yet. Ask any of those [Daniel or Dan] and theyll tell you.
So..this is a painful loss for all..fairwell, awesomeness of C&B which I never got to win...sigh....
