Tactics? What tactics?
Box-rush the bugger right away to stop that spinning drum, smack it into a wall and flip for dear life.Comment

Wooty fights once again, Mr Kody, I honestly thought Dervish was going to lose that one. Alex has a very good machine.
Get the beater up to speed and hit Wedge as much as I can. If Steve tries to flip, attempt to hit the machine whilst the flipper is open (probably not going to happen, but meh . Stay clear of the pit and the arena walls, staying as close to the arena centre as possible.

*in the pits*
Melissa: You are number 19 right now, Wedge Devolution team, and you are going up against a very good robot, which you already know, I€™m sure?
Steven: Dervish is a tricky bugger, but I think I€™ll be okay. OOTA for him.
Melissa: Worried about the weapon?
Steven: Yes, but I am going to box-rush that beater and give it a beating before the same can be done to me.
Melissa: Right, good luck to you€¦let€™s go over to€¦the Dervish table, hello.
Daniel: G€™day.
Melissa: You are up against the 19th seed, how does that make you feel?
Daniel: Fairly confident. I€™ve not known a flipper that could take advantage of a design like this so I reckon I could win quite easily.
Melissa: They do have a very experienced driver.
Daniel: Just send him to my flipper-killer already€¦
Melissa: Well€¦all right. Back to you!
----
JP: Right, two very experienced robots out there, what do you reckon then?
Kody: Well on one end, we€™ve got a very vicious spinning weapon that doesn€™t let up, and it€™s hard to attack because it spins up so fast. On the other end we have a very well-balanced flipping robot; it€™s got the power and speed needed to combat something like this.
JP: I€™m not too sure, but I€™m going to go for the flipper again here. I daresay it has enough flippability factor to get Dervish out of the arena.
Kody: I personally think that Dervish will rip the flipper off and toss Wedge over, rendering it immobile.
JP: Very well. Let€™s get down to the arena and find out!

Round 3
Wedge Devolution (19) vs. Dervish: Generation X
Wedge Devolution!
Has been beaten by axes in the past: Terrorhurtz and Axeon, so he€™ll have to watch out for them if he makes it by here.
Dervish: Generation X!
A very strong and impressive newcomer here, but how will it fare against its very experienced Round 1 mate?
Roboteers, stand by€¦
We have a Triple Big Mac in store for our beaten machine€¦if one is KO€™d, of course. Alongside him, Cassius Chrome.

ACTIVATE!
A thunderous charge from Wedge Devolution as it canters across the arena straight at Dervish: Generation X, who seems unable to get away in time and the wedge hits the beater straight on!
CRASH!
Though, it wasn€™t able to completely stop the spin-up of the beater, and gets sent back a bit. Steve€™s got his game plan going though as his flipping robot comes after Dervish again, this time able to stop the beater before it gets up to full speed! Ohhhh€¦moving towards the arena wall, very quickly! Oho! I think not! The position of the beater has nullified the flippability of Wedge Devo, the flipper has only spun up the beater slightly (but stopped it again anyway), and not at all brought Dervish€™s tires off the ground€¦and Wedge Devo backs away to come in€¦but Dervish has escaped! And now the beater€™s looking very menacing already!
Wedge Devo instead goes for the pit release button, Steve doubtful that he can achieve an OOTA after seeing what just happened, and BAM goes the wedgebot€™s rear end into the button, releasing the pit, as Dervish€¦ahh€¦moving a little slowly, actually - no, they€™re okay. Maybe not for long, as Wedge Devo rams his flipper into Dervish again!
CRASH!!!
And it€™s a full hit this time! Wedge Devo bashed away violently, slightly dented, and distanced very much from Dervish, who€™s beater does its job again and about to once more, as it spins to maximum fierceness! Not about to be put-off by a tournament rookie, Wedge Devo braves the storm again as Dervish makes its way over and we get another head-on collision!
CRASH!!!
Whoa, Dervish felt that itself, as it€™s flung back itself! Wedge Devo€™s not looking too bad actually, slight dents on the flipper€¦but what damage is being caused inside? It€™s also been flung several feet away and has to come in again as Dervish makes its way away from the pit, ooh€¦get away€¦
CRASH!
Not a big one, this time, and now the beater has stopped! A bash away, but slightly, and Wedge Devo is back in Dervish€™s beater! It pushes the axlebot across the arena, into Cassius Chrome€™s CPZ! Ah, not the brightest of house robots, though, Cassius Chrome. It€™s pinned Dervish in there, but, ah€¦blimey, those fists don€™t really pack a €˜punch€™ do they? Triple Big Mac, however, is about to throw some punches, as it makes its way from its CPZ, and Wedge Devo is on Cassius Chrome€™s other side, trying to prevent Dervish from making a sortie! Ah€¦hee hee hee€¦ah, Cassius Chrome, haha, look at this. Those fists, are so weak€¦oh go on, punch the beater. Boing. Ahh€¦those hammers are coming though! Get away! Wedge Devolution underneath Cassius Chrome! And taking him out of the CPZ! And flipping him, so the flipper has managed to stay in one piece despite those blows from Dervish! And Triple Big Mac€¦doesn€™t care! It€™s now in the CPZ that Dervish has failed to escape! This can€™t be good!
CRASH!
AND IT ISN€™T! The wheel has been slammed into, side on, and almost smacked right off! It was pressed INTO the beater so I€™m guessing that€™s why it€™s still on, but in return the beater has stopped moving, and so has Dervish! It is completely immobile, and that was good control of Wedge Devolution taking it into there, trapping it, and, ultimately, allowing the house robot to kill it for him! The Watcher comes in, it€™s all over for Dervish now, unless something happens€¦
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
And it doesn€™t! Wedge Devolution, worthy winners, onto the semi-finals, as he wedges his beaten opponent, and€¦pits him. Well done, Steven. And poor old Cassius Chrome, ah€¦get yourself a nice pair of€¦eh€¦brass knuckles, perhaps?
CEASE!
The Dervish grinds to a halt! Spin to win next time, Daniel.
