The Killer Toad Tournament - The Final Assault

Back to Rock III will try to pit his Tenderizers Revenge and Liar 2 will try to flip Supreme OOTA, thats pretty much what my tactics are

do I understand correctly that Flick received a bye?

Seung Mina V vs. Wedge Devolution

Son of a...

Get it out before it gets me out.

Curse of Dread vs. BIACS-LE

Attack BIACS-LEs disc. As a rule, horizontal does tend to beat vertical most of the time and bar beats disc because I can hit that disc more than the disc can hit my bar, if at all it can: area of attack. Dont bother shredding BIACS armour, as its not going to stop it; just keeping hitting that disc until it stops, then shove it down the pit.

SYNDOS vs. Intriguer

Mightily powerful disc, hmm...snag a wheel hole and drag it into the pit. If Im lucky maybe Ill puncture a tyre.

Good luck with this Dave.

The Killer Toad Tournament - The Final Assault

Tenderizers Revenge will keep it simple against Back To Rock III, trying to get underneath, lift and take him to the pit, and keeping the skirts down if he gets too close to my sides. Other tactics nearer the time of the other battles.

The 3 seeded bots get automatic entry into the group stages, and because Flicky came 2nd last time, it is 2nd seed.

Mad Dash: Uh... prepare my will, and BOX RUSH PSY LIKE MAD!

Fatality: Try to shock kill it.

Paralyzation: Go for the back, and never allow any chances to attack.

The Killer Toad Tournament - The Final Assault

Lets get some basic things out of the way first, things I dont think I mentioned in the first post.

Arena
Bog-standard affair, same size as the robot wars arena, but with higher walls. The pit is open all the time and there is no other hazards apart from a house robot which will only come into play in the first couple rounds.

House robot
Chaos Choir, has been changed a lot since its debut smash up, its basically a mobile arena hazard, I wont be using it a lot, but its there if you want to push other robots into it. The stats I have been working on and trying to polish up, but house robots are so fun to design as they dont have to follow the normal rules

Judges
If no winner after 4 minutes:
Aggression; damage and control are the 3 point scoring areas, 15 points for each area, however if the battle was so one-sided the judges can award the battle to the robot who was on top for most of the match, but lacked luck in finishing of.

What else, apart from fights will start hopefully this weekend.

The Killer Toad Tournament - The Final Assault

The Killer Toad Tournament, the final Assault
First qualification round, battle 1/24

The fight to win back the box containing secrets which could destroy something or another starts now, as it is the final assault:

Boxx vs. Eye of Ran

The first robot into the arena today is Boxx, Team Orr€™s debut in the Killer toad arena, and like the name suggests it is a box, an invertible box with that, weighing in at 98 of the finest kilograms, it comes with a couple lovely Lem motors, which power 4 wheels. The armour is rather strong, but the real worry is the ground clearance only being 2mm, so it could get grounded if not careful, but thankfully this is the first battle in the new arena after the last one disappeared into a black hole created by the prototype Chaos Choir going out of control, the anti-black hole machines were busy that day. But it is Boxx from Team Orr, driven by Jack

*Jack gives a cheery wave from control booth*

The second robot into the arena today is Eye of Ran, this T-shaped robot is shaped like a T, so shocking isn€™t it, and I would have put money on a T-shaped robot being shaped like a U or something. Joey€™s machine has the 2nd powerful spinning weapon in the arena today, being a Hardox T-bar mounted at the front of the machine, powered by a petrol engine, the machine is quick across the arena however it€™s weakness is it€™s rear end, where only a wedge is there to protect the wide rear end. But it is Eye of Ran from Team Chevron

*Joey gives a cheery wave from control booth*

The 3rd robot into the arena today is Remy, the local ref, designed to count out other robots, put out fires, break apart robots that have caught themselves up together, but generally will be sitting around waiting for some action.

As will be the 4th and most deadly robot in the arena today, it€™s the completed 2nd generation of Chaos Choir, after the 1st generation was sucked into nothingness with it€™s train electric motor and banks of electrical discharge units, the 2nd generation is less dangerous being returned to petrol power, being powered by a superbike engine the rear end spinning rim weighs in at around 75 kg, the drive comes from some overly large and complex balls which give the robot 360 degree drive. However the spinning rim is gutless compared to the main frontal weapon, powered by compressed air and based loosely on a sand-blaster, the compressed air will either fire itself at you with some force (sending you backwards at some speed) or with some rather nasty bearings which at the speed they come out of the gun, they can cause some damage. The house robot will only feature in the qualification rounds and only get used to comedic effect, but be careful, say you want to attack the house robot after a victory and CC won€™t hold back with the spinning guns.

Right, that€™s the introductions over, as the arena is locked down, ready for some rock steady easy action.

And both robots are away, the spinning bar at the front of Eye of Ran starts to spin up, the petrol motor from a chainsaw picking up speed, as Boxx comes storming in, as Boxx tries to dodge around the sides, but is met with Joey€™s driving skills as spinning bar introduces itself to Boxx, as Boxx is sent spinning away, the bar doing it€™s work as one of the 2 ramming spikes on the front of Boxx embeds itself into the arena wall. Boxx comes back onto the attack, being a rammer it needs to attack you sees, but Eye of Ran is ready, with the spinning bar at 66% power, as Jack tries to pull of a lovely move to attempt to get around the rear end of Eye to Ran, to try and get under the rear wedge to lift the rear wheels up ram eye to ran into the pit or into the side wall or as a last resort into chaos choir€™s rear spinning rim.

However Jack€™s attempt at the lovely move fails, as Eye of Ran counter-dodges in the nick of time, as Boxx is introduced to the spinning bar of Eye of Ran, sending it away causing some lovely sparks, but Joey gives chase, as Boxx is cornered between a fence, a fence, a rim and a bar, as Jack tries to escape the doom, but Eye of Ran is fast and corners Boxx as the spinning bar catches onto the side of Boxx, sending it into the fence, as Joey revs up the engine and drives straight into Boxx on the rear end, the weakness part, as the 20kg bar rips straight into the rear panel sending it away like it was made of paper and Joey pulls away, leaving the rear end of Boxx exposed, as the wheels are spinning away, in mid-air, as Joey revs up for another attack, eyeing up the sides this time.

Crash, Boxx is send spinning away, the side panel having a lovely cut in it, but once it stops spinning the wheels get traction, but as Boxx limps forward, one side€™s drive has shut-down, as Joey pulls back, as Jack raises his hand to say I€™m out. At this moment Chaos Choir comes forward, front end pointing at Boxx and fires it€™s air gun sending Boxx into the arena pit which just happens to be near by.

Cease

Boxx loses ground on the roughage patches running the edges of the arena, taking moderate damage and tapping out to avoid complete destruction, as Chaos Choir and Eye of Ran are playing to see who can do the most damage to a random microwave, ending in a draw when the microwave ends up in quite a few parts.

Next time it is:
Tenderizers Revenge 2 vs. Back to Rock III

Simple and efficient, looking good so far...fair play to Jack though, good fight

Looking forward to some more w00tiness in the fights from the rest of the tourney.

The Killer Toad Tournament - The Final Assault

The ever delayed Final Assault first qualification round, fight 2:
Tenderizers Revenge 2 vs. Back to Rock III

In the left hand square is Tenderizer€™s Revenge 2, the invertible box with the magic swinging arm, entered by Richard.

In the right hand square is Back to Rock 3, this oddly shaped robot comes with an electric lifting arm at the front, and a spinning blade buried inside the front lifter. Entered by Mart.

And both machines are away, and both are heading towards each other, the spinning blade of Back to Rock is spinning as the magical swinging arm of Tenderizers Revenge 2 has gone down, lifting the front wheels slightly off the ground in an attempt to put weight on the arm in order to get underneath the front end of Back to Rock.

Bang, crash, baby cries, donkey noises, as both robots hit each other head-on, the lifted front of Tenderizers Revenge 2 is enough to get underneath Back to Rock, but before Richard can do anything to make use of the situation, Back to Rock is free and is away, ramming into Tenderizers Revenge 2 once more but this time manages to get underneath the front wedge, must be that weight on the front end of Back to Rock.

Mart wastes no time and lifts Tenderizers Revenge 2 up, so that the wheels are spinning in mid-air, but Mart knows he must be quick as the arm on Tenderizers Revenge 2 is swinging around to free Richard€™s robot as Mart puts on the power and slams Tenderizers Revenge 2 into the arena wall with quite some force, sending it spinning away, Mart gives chase as Tenderizers Revenge 2 lands, Richard puts down the power and as the wheels spin on the loose roughage surface around the edge of the arena, it gets grip and escape another ram from Back to Rock. Richard spins Tenderizers Revenge 2 around and drives towards Back to Rock, which spins around a bit too late, as Tenderizers Revenge 2 breaches the side skirts and lifts the wheels of Back to Rock off the ground.

Richard has his eyes set on the pit, as he carries Back to Rock, towards the pit, but Mart has other ideas and starts to rock Back to Rock backwards and forward so that the wheels touch the ground and as they do Back to Rock spins around, and getting underneath the side of Tenderizers Revenge 2 and lifts up the entire robot, so that the arm can€™t save Tenderizers Revenge 2 now, as Mart sets course to heart of the pit, and dumps Tenderizers Revenge 2 down the hole.

Cease

Back to Rock goes forward onto the 2nd qualifying round

The Killer Toad Tournament - The Final Assault

First qualification round, fight 3

SOR X vs. Brutalis 2.1

The first robot into the arena is SOR X, from Andy, it€™s the spinning rim with a flipper attached, designed for destruction

The 2nd robot is Brutalis 2.1, entered by Liam, it€™s a front hinged flipper, designed for flipping and controlling other robots.

And SOR X spins around at once to get that rear rim into action, as it spins up to speed, as Brutalis 2.1 drives towards SOR X with one aim and one aim only to get around the front end of SOR X avoiding the spinning rim and try to get underneath the front flipper extension plate thing. Liam comes closer, but Andy is too quick and counters the attack from Liam, as the spinning rim introduces itself to the sides of Brutalis 2.1, sparks fly from the Hardox, as SOR X comes onto the attack with another sparking attack, the sides are at the wrong angle for Andy to attack, as he redraws waiting for the next attack.

Liam spins Brutalis 2.1 around and drives towards SOR X, dodging the spinning rim, and making it€™s way to the front, but when SOR X pushes forward, getting underneath the front end of Brutalis 2.1 and as the kinetic flipper fires, sending Brutalis 2.1 onto it€™s back, and as Brutalis 2.1 self-rights, right into the spinning rim, as Brutalis 2.1 is sent spinning away, pieces of wheel cover the arena, as it lands, spinning in a circle, the left hand wheel destroyed by that impact, as SOR X comes in with another flip, getting underneath the rear end of Brutalis 2.1 and flipping it into the pit to avoid more damage from the house robot who replies in showering SOR X with some air.

Cease

Brutalis 2.1 had bad luck and ended up in the pit, SOR X goes forward onto the 2nd qualifying round.

Next up:
Crimson Thunder vs. MacBeth
