Robot SMASH!! III: Lock3d and Load3d

...I survived? 259 went through? Was so not expecting either of those considering I was facing the twin forces for Frank Goacher and his logic Full credit to Andy and Frank though, and w00t to Liam for some...uh...w00ty fights :P

TACTICS: These will largely depend on what setup Dannys using, but will be some variation on grab, lift, crush, take to pit except if he is using the drum, in which case I will use a slightly different set of tactics to be revealed if that situation turns out to be true.

Right, well the obvious thing is to aim for the wheels, but keep front facing at all times, I think our disc could survive his quite easily if they hit so just try and attack the sides if possible.

As I recall, 259 has relatively light weight armour - and by my reckoning the advantage here is mine - I have a much broader field of attack than 259 due to being a horizontal spinner rather than vertical. Also, as I recall my disc is thicker so in a disc-disc hit I *should* come out the better.

Im using the drum, because I want to see what Joeys tactics are :P Ill try and knock him over, and keep up the agression without letting that slow self-righter come into play.

By the way, beating the C&B Champion means I am now, right? :P

(I use that smiley far too much...)

Nice try. :P

Nidhogg and Supernova in the final, I think.

REVISED TACTICS:

Avoid the drum. (goes without saying, kinda :P). If this proves difficult, my armou shold be goood enough to keep anything bad from happening and it should roll over from any attacks fairly well. Go for the sides, lift, and try and hook the crusher in behind the self righting hoops and drag the robot by way of them. If Im lucky, I may be able to cause damage to them to prevent it self righting, and it should be a simple expedient to get the lifter under and turn it over and into turtle land. If that doesnt work, all the easier for me to get it down the pit with

Good luck Dan, and youll have to ask the champion himself about that probably :P

Whats happened to it?

Since guests cant view the thread on ZED, Ill quote him:quote:

This is unexpcted, but Im retiring from vapourbots.

I have too much going on at the moment and simply do not have the time or motivation, plus there is a certain person who I will not name who made this game less fun than it should have been from the beginning.

I have already deleted by FRA User Account, there is no turning back.

I wish you all good luck for the future and I hope that lots of more newcomers will continue to appear on the forum and grace the fanfic section

Best Regards,
Liam Eliot:sad:

By the way, I forgot to comment on the great fights - and Liam demonstrated nicely why I considered Nidhogg to be the soft option for Masamune

Its a pity Liam is going (Ill missed him - hes my vote for most missed vapourboteer award this year :sad but if Liam ever returns, and does another series - Robot SMASH!! IV: Fighting 4 Glory (Working title ) then reserve me a spot - especially after that list of results {proud}

Robot SMASH!! III: Lock3d and Load3d

Sigh...the blow is somewhat lessened because I came third, lol, but it is very sad to see one of the best tournaments Ive seen in a while come to an abrupt end, and one of the most promising vapourboteers retire from the FRA...

Liam, just remember: you are still welcome among us, and can come back here at any time.
