RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

Hmmmm.... a team up against me eh? Ill see about that...

Go for whoever is flimsier and go forthe flimsiest part. I dont have to worry about damage too much as my weapon will flip and bludgeon as much as anything else, just keep going at them and dont give them an opening.

RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

Well what do you know? I got the fights earlier than I expected.

-------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen€¦ PLEASE WELCOME THE MASTER OF MAYHEM, THE ONE, THE ONLY€¦ SAAAAAAAAM PAAAAAAAAAAAARK!!!!!!!

(CROWD CHEERS LIKE HELL)

Sam Park: Welcome to a special night, where sparks fly and robots die! We€™ve got a great show this evening. It€™s the Robo-Bash mini tournament of DOOM!!! SO ARE YOU READY TO START THE CARNAGE!!!!!

(CROWD CHEERS LIKE HELL)

Sam Park: ALL RIGHT! LET THE WAAAAAAARS BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan O€™Hagan: That€™s right, Sam. Tonight, twelve gallant and brave contenders fight it out to be the mini-tourney champion! But first€¦ we shall see the brutal hyenas of the arena€¦ the HOUSE ROBOTS! Dead Metal, Shunt, Sgt Bash, Mr. Psycho, Growler, Sir Killalot, Cassius Chrome and Matilda roam the corner patrol zones to hunt other robots down, and they are all led by the one and only Refbot! Now let€™s get on with the first battle!

(BATTLE 1!!!!)

From Shrewsbury in Shropshire, Ge5orce!

Ah, a WBC clone; how lovely. A nasty flipper robot with 1600kg of flip in the flipper! This can bring out about 20 flips per fight, and it was famous for taking out the Crash and Burn 2 champ, Sheer Heart Attack in the Heat A Final. Weakness? It€™s got exposed wheels! :sad:

From Enschede, in Holland, Back to Rock!

Back to Rock, winner of Heat L, returns again! It has a nice LEM-powered lifter and a spinning sawblade running at 4000RPM. It€™s a pain in the arse to outpush, but it€™s not AS agile as 2 wheel or 4 wheel robots, and its armour is not the best.

From Downend, Robo-Hedgehog!

A hedgehog on steroids, it looks like! This hedgehog has a giant hammer on top, powered by gas. It€™s also got interchangeable scoops, and on top it has sharp curved spikes to try and do double damage, but the armour is a bit weak.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Ge5orce, Back to Rock
Booth 2: Robo-Hedgehog

And for the house robots, we have Shunt with the diamond tipped axe and the scoop, and Matilda with her deadly pink arse and front tusks.

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

So, the first battle of the mini-tourney commences now! Ge5orce immediately goes for the Hedgehog, and flips it over!
FA-LIP!!!
The hedgehog soars. How lovely. Now, Back to Rock comes in again, and immediately charges at the hedgehog! Now, it pushes the hedgehog into Shunt!
WHACK!!!
OH!!! The hedgehog€™s armour is punctured badly, and now, Ge5orce comes in and gets under the hedgehog, and flips it right into Matilda€™s flywheel! The hedgehog gets one in the base!
CRASH!!!!!
The base armour is gashed badly! Now, the hedgehog goes for Back to Rock, and whacks its hammer into the armourment!
WHACK!
That didn€™t really cause much damage, just a little dent. Now, Ge5orce comes in, and€¦
FA-LIP!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That sent Shunt€” hahahaha - flying over the fence! The audience roars in excitement, but just then, the Refbot comes in€¦ and gives Ge5orce a yellow card! The crowd boos the Refbot, and Ge5orce doesn€™t like it either! An imaginary light bulb goes over AJ€™s head, and he drives Ge5orce right into the Refbot, and fires the flipper!!!
FA-LIP!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD!!! Refbot soars 13 feet up into the air, and lands on its side!!! Meanwhile, Back to Rock and Robo-Hedgehog still duking it out, and Back to Rock somehow stacks Robo-Hedgehog on the side wall! Now, Ge5orce comes in, charges at the hedgehog, and fires the flipper!
FA-LIP!
€¦ and after 2 minutes of bloodbath, Robo-Hedgehog soars 17 feet over the fence!

CEASE!

Robo-Hedgehog may need to be sharper.
Ge5orce and Back to Rock go through!

[samuel3764]

RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

(BATTLE 2!!!!)

From Orpington, Kent, Heyght 2!

Heyght is sure to give the opponents heyght they truly deserve! It€™s got a CO2 powered flipper which packs a punch! It€™s Hardox armour isn€™t so flimsy either. However, it may flip itself over very dramatically.

From Geddington in Northampton, Dantu!

Dantu is very much like PulveriZer, but with a much more powerful vertical spinner powered by a LEM-130! It€™s completely invertible, but those wheels look a bit exposed...

From Richmond in London, cRooKED!

cRooKED is what you€™ll become after you deal with him. It€™s got sturdy armour with hardox and titanium, with a giant flipper! However, the weak sides will definintely have cRooKED living up to its own name.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Heyght 2, Dantu
Booth 2: cRooKED

The house robots€¦ Sir Killalot with the petrol driven engine, the claws and drill, and Mr. Psycho! The mightiest of them all, with the giant hammer, the claw, and the whole 750 yards, beaten by Firestorm in Extreme 2€¦ ah, who could forget that!

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

So, Dantu is spinning away, and Heyght immediately goes for Dantu!
CRASH! FLIP!
OH! Sparks fly, and so does Dantu! Now, cRooKED comes in, and gets under the rear end of the PulveriZer shaped machine!
FLIP!
Dantu must feel dizzy after that flip, it was tossed like a graduation hat! Now, in comes Dantu again, and this time... it drives right into THE SIDE OF cRooKED!!
CRASH!!!
OH!!! The side armour of cRooKED is battered horribly, with a big gash carved in! Heyght meanwhile, is going for Dantu again and€¦
FLIP!
WHOA! That€™s a very good attack there by Heyght! It gives Dantu some good €œheyght€ 10 feet up into the air! Dantu spins its disc up to speed again, and cRooKED drives right into Dantu!
CRASH! FLIP!
cRooKED tosses Dantu over and 7 feet up into the air, there! Now, Dantu immediately retaliates, and€¦
CRASH!
cRooKED has it again! There is another big gash torn from the side! Jack isn€™t happy with this, and so he drives the flipper right into Dantu€™s back!
FLIP!
WOAH!! Dantu€™s disc weapon hits the floor and makes a scratch! Nice scratch there, but you€™ll have to deal with this later. Now, cRooKED and Heyght comes in, and pushes Dantu into Sir K€™s CPZ, DISC-FIRST!
CRASH!!!
€¦ bloody hell. Sir K has been discombobulated. Dantu€™s weapon hit the chest plate, and removes it clean off! Now Dantu escapes, only to run into Heyght!
FLIP!
*Wolf Whistle* That sent Dantu skyrocketing 8 feet up and it comes back down with a loud thud! Now, Dantu is spinning, and hits cRooKED right in the side again! cRooKED tries to turn away, but too late.
CRASH!
€¦ and look at the damage caused to cRooKED, here! Dantu has carved another gash into the side of cRooKED€¦ and I think cRooKED has been immobilized! That attack did it, I think. Refbot comes in to check if cRooKED is OK... and counts it out!
1€¦ 2€¦ 3€¦ 4€¦ 5€¦ 6€¦ 7€¦
8€¦
9€¦
10!!!
€¦ and that€™s it for Jack Orr and cRooKED! Sir K pushes cRooKED, and gets cRooKED onto the saws... BZZT!! Sparks begin to fly and the audience roars in excitement! Mr. Psycho now picks up the beaten machine with his grabbing hands, holds it up high, and finally€¦ dumps it over the fence and out of the competition. But all of a sudden, Dantu smashes into the back of Sir K!!!
YYYEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!! The back caging is totally bent out of shape!!!! And now, Heyght comes in, and crashes into Sir K!!!!
FA-LIP!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sir K is flipped onto its back! AH that was splendid. Now, Dantu attempts to finish off Sir K, but€¦

CEASE!

cRooKED may need to straighten itself out.
Heyght 2 and Dantu go through!

Next Battle:
Tira 5 VS Genocide VS Traffic Warden

So what do you think of my battles?

RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

A good fight there, it still would be easier to read with less things like YEEEEEEOWWWW and FA-LIP!! and HAHAHAHAHAHAHA though

[samuel3764]

RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

(BATTLE 3!)

From Toronto, Ontario, Tira 5!!

Fresh from Tira 4, this bot has got a huge vertical spinner spinning at 2500RPM max. It also sports a rear flipper as well, that can flip about 200kg. However, its past incarnation, Tira 4, has not done so well.

From Wales, Genocide!

Genocide is a monster of a competitor. This monster is a full body spinner, with a nice hardox shell spinning at 2000RPM! It can deal 97.8 kJ and it€™s enough to pack a punch, but it€™s got weak base armourment.

From Glasgow, Scotland, Traffic Warden!

Traffic Warden is a U-Shaped bot, with a great big clamping device that has got 3000psi inside, and if you get inside, you are pretty much screwed up. However, it€™s armoury is not the best by a long shot.

Roboteers, Stand By!

Booth 1: Tira 5, Genocide
Booth 2: Traffic Warden

Housies? That€™s right, it€™s Dead Metal and Cassius Chrome!

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

And they€™re off! Tira 5 immediately spins up, and look at that menacing shell of Genocide! It€™s spinning so fast, that you can€™t see the blades, there! Now, Tira 5 is immediately smashing into the side of Traffic Warden!
CRASH!!!!
Traffic Warden goes flying into the air€¦ and Traffic Warden€™s side is almost disintegrated! Now, Traffic Warden is charging at Tira and€¦
CRASH!!!
OH!!! The clamp grabs hold of Tira€™s disc! This does not look good, but Genocide comes in, and helps Tira by crashing into Traffic Warden€™s rear end! Traffic Warden tries to turn€¦ TOO LATE!
CRASH!!!!
AW MAN! Look at the back of Traffic Warden! Genocide has gouged through the titanium armour, and Traffic Warden is taking a severe punishment here! Now, Tira 5 frees itself, and slams into the back of Traffic Warden with the flipper, and flips it over! Now, Tira 5 quickly turns with the disc!
CRASH!!!
WHOA-HO! That sends a chunk of armour FLYING across the arena€¦ and I think that hit must€™ve immobilized Traffic Warden! Its clamp is moving, but nothing else is! Kody and Liam slam hands with each other in the control pod! The Refbot comes in, and counts the beaten clamp-bot out!
1€¦ 2€¦ 3€¦ 4€¦ 5€¦ 6€¦ 7€¦
8€¦
9€¦
10!!!
Now, Dead Metal comes in€¦ and just when you thought the house robots were OK, Tira 5 slams into Dead Metal, DISC-FIRST into the claws!
CRASH!!!
OH€¦ MY€¦ GOD. Dead Metal€™s claw is gone€¦ and Genocide immediately SLAMS into the back of Cassius Chrome, striking it at FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh. Cassius Chrome€™s back has been totally bent out of shape, and now, Refbot gives both of them a yellow card! Kody doesn€™t like that one bit, so he gets under the side of Refbot with the back wedge and activates the flipper! The Refbot turns over to its side, and Genocide comes in again, and punches the face of the ref with the shell!
CRASH!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! The refbot is decapitated! Now, Genocide tries to finish off the peeved Ref, but€¦

CEASE!

Traffic Warden is battered into submission.
Tira 5 and Genocide go through!

yay

[samuel3764]

RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

I think Ill post up the fight tomorrow evening. That is, depending on how much homework I get from school...

[samuel3764]

RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

I really should€™ve gotten this fight up earlier. XD

(BATTLE 4!!)

From Hoogvilet, in Holland, Sideswipe!

Sideswipe is going to swipe you if you don€™t run away. It€™s also got a blade on the front spinning at 6000RPM! It can also self right using the blade but the thing I€™m worried about is the lack of strong armour.

From Pontefract in Yorkshire, No Consequences!

No Consequences is the traditional translational spinner spinning at 1000RPM, energy output€¦ goodness me. A horrifying 130kJ! It has a very nice lifter as well, that can lift about a tonne, but its weakness? Runaway steamrollers? Uh€¦ Okaaaaaaaaaaay€¦

From Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, Hex Appeal!

Ah, the old MDU clone€¦ *sniffles* brings back memories. *Blows nose* Anyway, a nice cylinder shaped robot with a walking system, a full body spinner spinning at 1200RPM, and a nasty 117kJ€™s per hit! *Shudders* Hex Appeal ain€™t no ordinary MDU!

Roboteers, Stand by€¦!

Booth 1: Sideswipe
Booth 2: No Consquences, Hex Appeal

Cassius Chrome and Growler are the housies this time around€¦ meh.

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!

All right. All of these robots start to spin up straight away€¦ Hex Appeal, looking a bit ponderous, crashes into Sideswipe€™s front blade!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOAH HO!! Both robots go FLYING out of control! Now, there doesn€™t seem to be too much damage caused to any of these robots€¦ No Consequences immediately moves towards Sideswipe and Sideswipe turns and retaliates using the blade!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!
Both bots go flying out of control, again! Sideswipe spins up again, but Hex Appeal now crashes into the rear of Sideswipe, at FULL GYROSCOPIC SPEED!!! Sideswipe tries to turn, but€¦
CRASH!!!!!!!
That€™s€¦ whoa. Sideswipe€™s rear end has been totally destroyed, there!
CRASH!!!!!!
OH!!!! There€™s another BRUTAL attack to Sideswipe given by No Consequences, and Sideswipe, I think, is immobile€¦ WAIT! No it isn€™t! It€™s JUST managing to hang on€¦ only just. Its blade is spinning, and the machine is moving around in circles, and Hex Appeal strikes the other side of Sideswipe!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!
OH!!! That took a nice chunk of armour out€¦ and I think that the initial attack from Hex Appeal immobilized Sideswipe! Leo makes an X with his arms, shaking his head, knowing he has been beaten. Refbot counts Sideswipe out!
1€¦ 2€¦ 3€¦ 4€¦ 5€¦ 6€¦ 7€¦
8€¦
9€¦
10!!!!
€¦ and Sideswipe is about to be swiped from the warzone. Cassius Chrome comes in for the kill, and gives the beaten machine the old one-two jabs, and the pit has been activated by Hex Appeal, and oh no€¦ Cassius Chrome puts Sideswipe onto the drop zone! I wonder what is in the box, now? The countdown starts! Joey and Daniel chant along with the audience!
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦ 7€¦ 6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦ 3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦
CRASH!!!!!!!
It€™s a giant refrigerator tumbling down from 36ft above! Finally, Sideswipe gets the bite and it gets pushed into the pit by Growler. BOOM!
CRASH!!!!!
Whoa, WHAT€™S THIS?!! Hex Appeal crashes into the back of Cassius Chrome, smashing a whole sheet of armour off! Now, No Consequences, tries lifting the ref€¦ and€¦ Joey€™s done it!!!! He€™s flipped the Rebot! No Consequences now nudges the exceptionally peeved Refbot near the pit€¦ but goodness me, I do NOT think that there€™s room for it down there! Hex Appeal comes in again, the shell slowly coming to a stop€¦
CRASH!!
Refbot has tumbled into the pit (on top of Sideswipe ), FINALLY! Now, Joey and Dan slam hands with each other. In the other control pod, Leo laughs in the sight of the Refbot being humiliated! Gallant contender!

CEASE!

Sideswipe is swiped from the warzone.
No Consequences and Hex Appeal go through!

Round 2 Line-Ups

Ge5orce VS Genocide
Dantu VS Back to Rock
Tira 5 VS No Consequences
Heyght 2 VS Hex Appeal

Tactics, Comments, Predictions and a nice warm blanket for my bed please.

[kodster]

RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

Ge5orce vs. Genocide

Ge5orce, baby

Dantu vs. Back to Rock III

I actually think Dantu can get this one.

Tira V vs. No Consequences

Ah, how ironic. I just made the render for this bot. Well I wont lose to another Joey bot damnit. :P *inserts some awesome tactics below :P*

Right, this may sound crazy, but Im going to attack him while hes spinning so that he cant use the lifting arm, because I know that what he said about Tiras self-righting, and I dont plan on letting him exploit that even if she had a problem with the srimech. :P Ill back into him with the flipper, and run into the direction of his spin, so that he spins onto the flipper rather than biting into the back of the sides, then toss him over and attack the lifting arm with the disc while hes self-righting, hopefully destroying his only srimech and removing him from my presence. :P

If he decides to be a git and does attack with the lifting arm, try and hit the arm with the disc. You all know I love to destroy weapons. But generally hit him anywhere I can with the disc, if I catch him off-guard or anything.

If I get flipped, self-right anyway. The disc may be high, but the top sides of the scoops balance Tira V onto her back regardless, as I just realized, so boo to Joeys idea of putting rollbars on the sides. :P Just stay in the middle of the arena so I dont get in danger of being stacked, lol

But we all know Samuel disregards special tactics and just makes us kill each other until of us dies of death, so good luck Joey. I promise you youll need it this time around. :P

Heyght II vs. Hex Appeal

What do you think? For one its not gonna be a flipper...

Hoping for a spiffing Round 2, Sam-O.

Ge5orce vs. Genocide
Unless Ge5orce can stop the spinner, Im going to say that its WBC-esque shape is going to be its downfall, meanings its hard to turn, and Genocide will destr9oy the wheel guards, then win the JD.

Dantu vs. Back to Rock III
Im going AGAINST Kody here, as Back To Rock is a very boxy rammer, and at the 2006 UK Championships, Big Nipper beat Pulversier twice easily, and I say BTRIII will kick Dantus arse.

Tira V vs. No Consequences
Depends on how many times Tira V may get flipped over onto his back, as horizontal beats vertical, so Ill go for Joey to win.

Heyght II vs. Hex Appeal
Oh [BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP] Why do I get Hex Appeal? Im going to lose anyway, because Sam is spinner-bias, but I may as well put up a fight.
Ram into him as quickly as possible (20mph should be quick enough, because the Storm 2 team stated that 20mph is enough to get halfway across the arena in 1 second, so I should get to him quite quickly) slow his ring to a halt, then flip - I wont flip him OOTA straight away, but I may as well try

Good luck Daniel - like you need it :blush:

Good fights Sam - well wrote.

RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

Right...well, given that this is Sam Park and regardless of what I post I am going to get trashed by Tiras disc even though it shouldnt happen, because Sam just ignores things like reality at times , I am going to try something different...
I wont spin at all, since that wont be as effective. Instead, I shall get in somehow and lift Tira over onto its back, and allow ein srimechproblemztungfeist to commence.

Good luck Kody, as if you needed it :P

[samuel3764]

RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

Genocide VS Ge5orce

Roboteers, Stand By€¦!

Booth 1: Genocide
Booth 2: Ge5orce

Housies? The knight of the realm, Sir Killalot, and the robotic scorpion, Dead Metal!

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Now both of these robots showed great power in their first fights. Genocide immediately spins up and tries hitting the side of Ge5orce but Ge5orce does not let Genocide get to its side and€¦
FLIP!!
Genocide flies 9 feet up, and lands back onto their feet! Genocide immediately spins up again, and€¦
CRASH!!!
A wheel guard is badly crunched! Genocide needs to slap the side of Ge5orce with the spinning shell, and Liam does this again!
CRASH!!!
Liam looks very content with that hit, and Ge5orce does not seem to move freely anymore€¦ but that does not stop Ge5orce from getting underneath Genocide!
FA-LIP!!!
OH!! Genocide soars and almost nearly out of the arena there! Teetering, tottering and down it came again! Now, Genocide self-rights, and spins up immediately to strike the side of Ge5orce€¦
CRASH!!
€¦and look at the side of Ge5orce! The wheel guard is completely disintegrated, and almost close to coming off! Ge5ore retaliates and flips over Genocide!
FLIP!!
Ge5orce sends Genocide 8 feet up! Now Genocide immediately spins up again, and crashes into the side at full speed ahead!
CRASH!!!!!!
WOAH!! Genocides other wheel guard has been dislodged...and it€™s safe to say that Genocide has won this. Ge5orce is no longer moving and Refbot comes in and counts Ge5orce out.
1€¦ 2€¦ 3€¦ 4€¦ 5€¦ 6€¦ 7€¦
8€¦
9€¦
10!!!!

CEASE!

Ge5orce has crashed.
Genocide goes through to Round 3!

RoboBASH Mini-Tourney

Tira 5 VS No Consequences

Roboteers, Stand By...!

Booth 1: Tira 5
Booth 2: No Consequences

Housy 1: A long robot with front pincers and saw. Housy 2: A scoop and axe combo. Yup, its Dead Metal and Shunt!

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!

Tira 5 immediately spins up to full speed. No Consequences meanwhile... is... er... not. spinning. at. all. Instead, No Consequences immediately crashes into Tira 5, and lifts it up, but isnt really able to flip them. Now, Tira 5 comes in again, and crashes into the side of the translational spinner!
CRASH!!
Wa-hey! Tira 5 flips No Consequences over, but it self-rights immediately! Theres a small gash on No Consequences, not too visible. Now, Tira 5 going for the jugular on No Consequences again, and crashes right into the rear end!
CRASH!!!
Another magnificient flip there with the disc! Joey thinks he has had enough of this, so he is going for the spin mode! No Consequences has spun up to full speed, and hits Tira 5 right in the spun-up disc!
CRASH!!!!!!!
AND BOTH BOTS GO FLYING!! Now then, No Consequences just spins up again, and...
CRASH!!!!
WOAH!!!! Both goes flying again, and Tira 5 spins up again... and hits No Consequences before it gets up to full speed!
CRASH!!
Tira 5 just flips over No Consequences again with the flywheel! No Consequences self-rights and flips over Tira with its own lifting arm! But Tira self-rights and now, Tira spins up again... and...
CRASH!!!
POUNDED. Thats all I can say. No Consequences gets a good battering with the flywheel there! Now, coming in for the kill again, No Consequences starts to spin, but Tira finds No Consequences and pushes it into Shunts CPZ! The razor-sharp axe comes down!
WHACK!!
Not too much damage here caused by that axe, and now Tira 5 and No Consequences spin up again...
CRASH!!!!
WOAH-HO!! Both bots go flying here, and this is a very tight fight so far, and with 14 seconds remaining, I think it will go to a judges decision.
10... 9... 8...
Tira spins up again, and..
7... 6... 5... 4...
CRASH!!!
WOAH!!! That sends No Consequences flying into the CPZ, and it lands on its wheels with a loud thump!
3... 2... 1...

CEASE!
FLIP!

AHAHA!! Shunt is tipped over by No Consequencess lifter! Too late. Its all up to the judges now.

JD: Tira 5 / No Consequences

Damage: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Aggresion: 3/5 / 2/5
