Classic SMASH!!

JOEYS PROBABLY WRONG PREDICTIONS AND NICE FURRY TACTICS THAT PURR WHEN YOU STROKE THEM

Heat 1: Spawn Again, as a random choice

Heat 2: (Painkiller)

Tactics are to put on the setup used for the gauntlet and trials and use it for those purposes. The 4wd should give me some grip to protect from the spikes, although if I lose drive to any of the wheels it will be no biggie seeing as I have three others. :P Use the scoop to get the balls in the goals, and then just charge past the HR for the finish.

Heat 3: (Flirty Skirty)

Uh...just try and tackle the route in the most logical way possible, and hope. A lot :P

Heat 4: This is the heat of death, really...Its between the two vapours, but probably FLC to edge it based on control and ability to pit.

[neontetra23]

Classic SMASH!!

Infected Canary: Gun it, score goals using scoop, dodge the house robots, if they get in my way, FLIP!

Cassius II: Left route: smash the glass, dodge mace, flip furnace

[dinowarrior]

Classic SMASH!!

BAD TEMPER JR: Use the blade to test the walls, then work it out from there. Show no fear.

ONSLAUGHT: Line up and drive.

[samuel3764]

Classic SMASH!!

TACTICS: SHOW NO MERCY AND NO FEAR!

Additional tactics:

Remind Samuel that his usage of CAPS LOCK is getting excessive, lol :P

Classic SMASH!!

Hello and welcome to an exciting new spin-off of the series of major tournaments known as Robot SMASH!! , Classic SMASH!! !

Today we have 4 new robots competing:

From Middleton-Cheney, Hypno-Disc!
This four wheel drive box-shaped machine from series 4 of Robot Wars has a horizontal spinning disc at the front and a side-hinged self-righting arm behind said disc. There also spikes on the top, but they are mostly for show. This version of the machine reached the series 4 Grand Final, losing out to Pussycat in the first Grand Final eliminator. However powerful it was 8 years ago though the disc€™s power and the armour€™s reliability are both seriously dated by today€™s standards.

From Richmond, Oxen!
The first vapour of the competition is a triangular machine powered by wheelchair motors. This curiously shaped machine has a static spike at the rear and is armoured in 5mm titanium, and although that could be exploited by some spinners flippers won€™t do anything to it as it can run inverted.

From East Tilbury, Essex, Spawn Again!
Semi-Finalist of RW5, this robot is the most modern realie in the competition, as it weighed just 79kg at RW5, 21kg under the maximum weight. It has a large co2 powered flipper that can throw opponents high into the air, but it can be pushed around too easily.

From Suffolk , Bad Temper Jr!
Surprisingly this robot has competed in Robot SMASH!! before, fighting and losing to Disco 5 in the eliminator of the Mini-Tournament. It is a Tornado shaped machine with a large Overkill-style blade on top that can come down with some force.

But the Gauntlet awaits them, can they make it through?

Hypno-Disc is first up.

Roboteers, standby!

Booth 1: Kody Kunz/Dave Rose/Derek Rose/Ken Rose

SMASH!!

The four wheel drive machine gets off to a quick start and spins up the disc as it approaches the first wall that is it€™s obstacle, bringing the disc around to bear on the middle section of the wall and striking lucky, knocking it down and progressing through, where it tries two walls before finding the correct way through and progressing onto the third fence, where the knock-down wall is quickly found, as is the case on the last two walls. After that though Kody finds himself facing the large square that is belching fire to hide the killsaws in the floor! Hypno-Disc guns the four wheel drive across the square, but is caught by a saw and flipped! BZZT! The srimech kicks into play, but in this era it was a painfully slow 5 seconds and we see now that some of the plastic on Hypno-Disc has melted!

CEASE!

Hypno-Disc: 12.5 metres

Next up is Oxen

Roboteers, standby!

Booth 1: Jack Orr

SMASH!!

The pizza shaped machine gets going straight away, but the wheelchair motors don€™t provide a lot of power and Jack unfortunately has to test a few walls on the first row to progress, although on this second row he€™s quick and goes on again. However the third wall is where it all goes wrong prematurely for Oxen as it bounces slightly on a bump in the floor and mounts the fallen wall, beaching itself!

CEASE!

Oxen: 6.2 metres

Now is Spawn Again

Roboteers, standby!

Booth 1: Samuel Park/Darren Ball/Graham Warner/Luke Jackman

SMASH!!

The long wedge that was seeded #13 in RW5 gets off to a speedy start, delivering a good shove into the central wall, although that isn€™t the knock-down wall and Samuel spins around, knocking the next-door neighbour down! And now the wedge hurries through the gap it just made and runs along into the second wall, getting a lucky hit and powering through both second and third rows by staying in the same line! The fourth however is a bit more tricky and Spawn has some tough manoeuvring to do to get past quickly, but Samuel at the controls manages it and Spawn Again triumphs as it smashes through the last two walls and out onto the square of death! But Samuel confidently drives across the square and reaches the other end just as time runs out!

CEASE!
Spawn Again: 14.5 metres

And right now we have Bad Temper Jr
Roboteers, standby!
Booth 1: Christopher Mason

SMASH!!

The vapourbot gets off to a quick start, driving up to the first row of walls and testing them out with the huge overhead blade, giving one a good whack and letting it fall to the ground, allowing Chris to shoot through quickly and run into the next row, striking lucky again and getting the knock down wall in very quick time before progressing to the third row, however this time it takes a little longer, but still Bad Temper Jr is persistent and moves on again, knocking through the fourth and fifth rows to reach the square, where it immediately gets tossed over by a pair of killsaws! BZZT! Chris self-rights though and now carries on through the square, reaching the end just as...

CEASE!

Bad Temper Jr: 14.5 metres

Leaderboard:
=1: Spawn Again- 14.5 metres
=1: Bad Temper Jr- 14.5 metres
3: Hypno-Disc- 12.5 metres

Welcome back to Classic SMASH!! !
Before the break Oxen was eliminated in the gauntlet, but now our three survivors must take on Sumo Shock in Sumo Basho!

First up is Spawn Again.

Roboteers, standby!

Booth 1: Samuel Park/Darren Ball/Graham Warner/Luke Jackman
Booth 2: Liam Eliot

SMASH!!

Sumo Shock has Lynch motors at 72 volts powering his rubber coated tracks, and he€™s very powerful as Spawn Again is going to find out in this match as Sumo Shock powers towards Samuel, breaching the front clearance of Spawn Again and driving it backwards across the plinth! But Spawn finds grip on Sumo Shock€™s plough and manages to drive up and over the house machine before turning around and getting its own wedge under the side of Sumo Shock, driving in underneath now but failing to push Sumo Shock anywhere. Needless to say Samuel holds on in there until the clock runs down.

CEASE!

Spawn Again: SURVIVED

Next is Bad Temper Jr

Roboteers, standby!

Booth 1: Christopher Mason
Booth 2: Liam Eliot

Both robots go straight at each other, and although their front ground clearances cancel each other out the horsepower in Sumo Shock€™s drive just dwarfs that of Bad Temper Jr, which now finds itself being swiftly pushed backwards and off the plinth!

CEASE!

Bad Temper Jr: 6.7 seconds

And finally it€™s Hypno-Disc.

Roboteers, standby!

Booth 1: Kody Kunz/ Dave Rose/ Derek Rose/ Ken Rose
Booth 2: Liam Eliot

Both robots get going quickly, but as Sumo Shock runs straight at the RW3, 4 and 5 finalist Kody tries to drive away from the front plough of Sumo Shock, but fails to get away in time and Sumo Shock drives straight in underneath the side of Hypno-Disc, driving it straight to the edge and dumping it out of the competition!

CEASE!

Hypno-Disc: 5.5 seconds

Leaderboard:
1: Spawn Again- SURVIVED
2: Bad Temper Jr- 6.2 seconds
3: Hypno-Disc- 5.5 seconds

Alas, sadly we must now say farewell to Hypno-Disc, who€™s trial capabilities let it down.

And so the Heat A Final is:
Spawn Again vs. Bad Temper Jr

Classic SMASH!!

I think Spawn might win this one, as I said earlier...big flipper plus robot that needs to self right plus arena walls equals OOTAing.
