Heres the third fight! Thanks for the wait.
Dantu VS Back to Rock
Roboteers, Stand By...
Booth 1: Dantu
Booth 2: Back to Rock
Mr. Psycho will patrol the CPZs along with his friend, the matriarch of mayhem herself, Matilda.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
So, Dantu immediately spins up to speed, and hits Back to Rock immediately in the side!
CRASH!
OH!! That shatters the side skirt and sparks litter the arena floor! Back to Rock fights back with the front, and pushes Dantu into the arena wall!
WHAM!
Now, Dantu continues to spin, and the flywheel hits the front scoop of Back to Rock!
CRASH!!
OH-HO! There is a nice gash in the scoop, there! Now, Back to Rock pushes the discbot into Matildas side!!! Oh no, this does NOT look good...
CRASH!!!!!!
OH GOODNESS ME!!! The side armour is ripped clean off! Ah man, this is sheer carnage! Now, Dantu gets away from the CPZ, but not from Back to Rock, as it continues to ram Dantu. Dantu is away, spins up and crashes into the back of Back to Rock!
CRASH!!!
... and another gash is made in the armour! Now, Back to Rock...
CRASH!!
... has it again! Dantu just continues to be relentless, but Back to Rock, at the same time crashes into Dantu again and rams it into Mr. Psychos CPZ! Mr. Psychos claws try to grab Dantu, but Dantu gets away just barely! Back to Rock crashes into Dantu yet another time, and rams it into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly and the audience loves it! But, time is running out for both of these robots and Ive got a feeling this battle is going to go to the judges....
10... 9... 8...
Dantu gets its disc to spin up again...
7... 6... 5... 4...
CRASH!
Dantu shatters the other skirt badly, and Back to Rock has a gash in the side!
3... 2... 1...
CEASE!
Quite a good battle that was! Lets see how the judges think of that!

...
That fight wasnt exactly anywhere near the realm of realistic, a spinner would be unlikely to shatter the titanium skirt on BTR, no matter what its power. Maybe break the hinge and leave it trailing, but the skirt wouldnt suddenly explode, and even if it did that, it would surely flip BTR as well due to the force.
And Im not even going to comment on the likelihood of Matildas disc somehow removing all of Dantus side armour, which is very thick polycarbonate with Hardox reinforcing and frame...
I wasnt involved in that fight, but I am not happy about the quality of that, I think youre forgetting the basic rules of physics that govern the universe we live in, in favour of the glamour of these theoretical energy figures and an extremely inaccurate fantasy playing out in your mind. In other words, realism. Its such a good idea the entire world does it.

Sorry, Joey. I acknowledge my mistakes, and I will make a rewrite... but I didnt mean Matildas disc removing all of Dantus side, I meant when Back to Rock pushed Dantu into Matildas side, it was actually Matilda got damaged.
There. I think that made sense.Comment

Ive decided to edit the fight, so you can get a better understanding of it. Here it is.

Roboteers, Stand By...

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

CRASH!
OH!! That sent sparks littering the arena, but not too much damage is caused here... Back to Rock fights back with the front, and pushes Dantu into the arena wall!
WHAM!
Now, Dantu continues to spin, and the flywheel hits the front scoop of Back to Rock!
CRASH!!
OH-HO! There is a nice gash in the scoop, there! Now, Back to Rock pushes the discbot into Matildas side... DISC FIRST!!! Oh no, this does NOT look good...
CRASH!!!!!!
Well, it wasnt AS bad as I thought... The side armour of Matilda is SLIGHTLY dislodged, but nothing else. Now, Dantu gets away from the CPZ, but not from Back to Rock, as it continues to ram Dantu. Dantu is away, spins up and crashes into the back of Back to Rock!
CRASH!!!
... and another gash is made in the armour! Now, Back to Rock rams Dantu into the pit button...
CRASH!!
and the pit yawns open. Dantu fights back with the disc on Back to Rocks side!
CRASH!!
WOAH!! More sparks are flying! Dantu just continues to be relentless, but Back to Rock, at the same time crashes into Dantu again and rams it into Mr. Psychos CPZ! Mr. Psychos claws try to grab Dantu, but Dantu gets away just barely! Back to Rock crashes into Dantu yet another time, and rams it into the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly and the audience loves it!

CRASH!
OH!!! Now Dantus disc dislodges one of the skirt hinges of Back to Rock there, and I wonder if that will count as a point for the judges. The closing seconds of this fight count down!
3... 2... 1...
CEASE!

I just read the first version of that fight...Samuel, what were you thinking?!
Please try to take account what would likely happen in the arena though. Yes, you may have corrected the error, but Im still reminding you. You should know that armours have varying tensity, and titanium has quite a bit of tensity. The skirt on BTR would not shatter, however powerful Dantus disc was.
Though I must say, Im glad you had the sense to re-do the fight, and the rewrite looks better, though it could be better still.

Right, I apologize for the previous battle. I know I made a lot of mistakes in it, and hopefully, this one will be better.
Heyght 2 VS Hex Appeal
Roboteers, Stand by...
Booth 1: Heyght
Booth 2: Hex Appeal
House robots today will be Growler and Dead Metal.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
And they are off! Refbot gives the green light, and Heyght 2, immediately charges at Hex Appeal, which is just beginning to spin up to full speed! Now, Heyght plays the brave fool, charges and tries to flip over Hex Appeal...
FLIP!
...and makes a perfect 180 degree toss, but Hex Appeal is back on its legs using the self-righter! That will surely score some points for Heyght, there. Hex Appeal spins up again, and walks over to Heyght, shell spun up to full speed! Heyght turns...
CRASH!!
... and it completely deflects the spinner with the front! Now, not too much damage is being caused to Heyght, just a little dent in the flipper. Hex Appeal spins up again, and both robots go straight at each other!
CRASH!!
More sparks are flying, and this is a good battle here so far! Again, there is no major damage being caused, but the judges love sparks. Hopefully, Hex Appeal will get some points from the judges. Anyway, Heyght immediately gets underneath the spinner from Wales, and pushes it into the corner where Growler awaits! Now, Growler tries to nibble on Hex Appeal, but it barely walks out of danger! Now then, Heyght charges at Hex Appeal, which has already gotten up to full speed!
CRASH!!!
Not a bad hit there, I must say! Heyght is spun away with tremendous force by the spinner of Hex Appeal! There is a medium-sized dent in the side armour of Heyght, but it looks to be superficial again! Very good job by Heyght in its debut on RoboBash, I must say. Now, Heyght approaches Hex Appeal before it gets up to full speed, and...
FLIP!
... makes a huge toss there! Hex Appeal gets tossed 5 feet up and comes down with a thud! Now, it self-rights once again, and Daniel spins up! It walks up to the side of Heyght...
CRASH!!!
OH!! Heyght is spun away madly, with a skirt slightly bent! Now, Heyght is okay. There is no problem in the movement whatsoever. Heyght now gets in underneath Hex Appeal, and carries it to the wall!
FA-LIP!!!
Ahh, not high enough for you, mate. Hex Appeal bounces off the wall and back into the arena! Now, Hex Appeal spins up yet again, and the time is running out for both of these robots!
10... 9... 8...
CRASH!!!
WOAH!! Heyght gets hit in the sides and spun away again by Hex Appeal, theres a slight dent in the hardox armour, and the other skirt becomes slightly bent yet again!
7... 6... 5... 4...
Now, Hex Appeal is spinning up! It wanders over to Heyght!
3... 2... 1...
CRASH!!
... this time, Heyght turns and deflects the shot perfectly with the rear end!
CEASE!
Brilliant job by our two contestants! Now, lets have a look at the scores!
JD: Heyght / Hex Appeal
Style: 3.7/5 / 1.3/5
Control: 2.5/5 / 2.5/5
Damage: 1.5/5 / 3.5/5
Aggresion: 2.4/5 / 2.6/5
Total Score: 10.1/20 / 9.9/20

Well, horizontal nromally defeats vertical, so just spin up and ram at it.
Nice fights Sam, and good luck Kody

Re: RoboBASH Mini-Tourney
Dantu vs. Heyght
Dantu FTW I think.
Tira V vs. Genocide
Ersh...ram it with the rear wedge until it stops spinning then smack it with the disc and try to jam the ring/shell/whatever, all I remember about Genocide was that it spun all the way around, lol. Maybe try and flip it over, too.
Good luck Liam.
