Tournaments been great, Steven! No robots of mine in the semis, but theyve been upgraded and hopefully Ill have better luck next time! Here are some predictions:
Semifinal 1
Ultraverter flips Tornado OOTA
The Crashing Bore smashes up Beta
The Business Ends pits Disctruction Evo
The Team That Wasnt There overwhelms Heir To Black Panther
The Business Ends beats Ultraverter on a judges decision
The Crashing Bore smashes The Team That Wasnt There one by one
Semifinal 2
Spinverter 3 flips Razer OOTA
Mass Disctruction Ultimate takes out Crankshafted in a battle of the machines you have nightmares about
Son of Ripper flips Tengu IV OOTA
Platinum Pure Evil flips and slices Dishonourable Discharge
Mass Disctruction Ultimate smashes Spinverter 3 and wins on a judges decision
Son Of Ripper flips around and slices Platinum Pure Evil and wins on a judges decision
So that would be The Business Ends, The Crashing Bore, Mass Disctruction Ultimate and Son Of Ripper in the final. But thats just my opinion.
Just seen Daniels post - Ill come and join you! *throws away sign on seat saying Reserved For Craig Charles and sits down*
Tornado (30) Vs UltraVerter: UltraVerter to flip Tornado OOTA.
Beta (9) Vs The Crashing Bore: Im gonna go for TCB here to grapple Betas axe and pit it.
Disctruction EVO Vs The Business Ends (1): Im going for Disctruction EVO to maul TBE.
Heir to Black Panther Vs The Team That Wasnt There: Due to the pushing ability of the freaky fivesome, Im gonna go for them to push HtBP into the pit.
SEMI-FINAL 2
Razer (4) Vs SpinVerter 3: Razer to get beaten easily.
CrankShafted Vs Mass Disctruction Ultimate: THE FIGHT EVERYONE WANTED TO SEE! Im gonna go for Aarons bot to destroy Toms MDU clone.
Son of Ripper 0.2 ( Vs Tengu 4 (2: SoR to flip Tengu 4 OOTA after receiving and delivering a lot of damage.
TACTICS:
Platinum Pure Evil (3) Vs Dishonourable Discharge (27): Oh dear, not the best robot I wanted to fight. I cant flip it, so Ill use the rear disc to whack the wheels until one of them (hopefully) gets broken.
Tornado could last long than everyones giving it credit for here. That low low wedge and good pushing power has gotten it past some skirts before... Still, Ultraverter to launch Tornado into orbit, where it bounces off the moon, lands behind UltraVerter and pushes it into the pit
...Seriously, UltraVerter to go throgh:wink:
Beta (9) Vs The Crashing Bore
Hmm, polycarb... Not the strongest material against impact weapons if memory serves, so I should be able to grapple on nicely. If I can just get under him, his electromagnet wont be able to stop me pushing him, so Ill grapple and shove him. Ill also try to damage his hammer shaft so he cant attack me effectively. But hey, if I lose Im going out to the ex-champ
Disctruction EVO Vs The Business Ends (1)
Business Ends to get around DiscTruction EVOs sides and shove it around.
Heir to Black Panther Vs The Team That Wasnt There
TTTWT to bully Heir into submission.
SEMI-FINAL 2
ROUND 1
Razer (4) Vs SpinVerter 3
Tom actually said once on MSN that Razer COULD get under him, so Ill go for Razer to do what Razer does best... Get in first and never let go
CrankShafted Vs Mass Disctruction Ultimate
Crankshafted and MDU destroy each other on first contact. Neither can continue so they get replaced with Behemoth and Biohazard
Behemoth vs Biohazard
I reckon Behemoth can get under the skirts, but Biohazard to win, and win with style.
Son of Ripper 0.2 ( Vs Tengu 4 (2
Son of Ripper to exploit Tengu 4s self righting problems.
Platinum Pure Evil (3) Vs Dishonourable Discharge (27)
Platinum Pure Evil losing to Dishonourable Discharge after a very close battle.
SEMI-FINAL 1
ROUND 1
Tornado (30) Vs UltraVerter
The question, what weapon for Tornado? If its the scoop it will push UltraVerter into the pit before you can blink.
Beta (9) Vs The Crashing Bore
May we say goodbye to the PTT1 champion here. The Bore to remove the axe and flip it onto its end.
Disctruction EVO Vs The Business Ends (1)
The Business Ends to put Disctruction Evo into the pit.
Heir to Black Panther Vs The Team That Wasnt There
Heir to Black Panther can not do anything to this 5 way clusterbot. I predict there will be some more 5 way clusters coming soon, so I must say Fiver is old.
SEMI-FINAL 2
ROUND 1
Razer (4) Vs SpinVerter 3
Razer to get underneath those useless skirts and crush and pit.
CrankShafted Vs Mass Disctruction Ultimate
Steve, do you want to use the FAR arena for the fight of the 2 powerful spinners. But the gyrosopic forces on impact will basically destroy both robots, and so it will be 1 hit killers. Both robots to go out to be replaced by *drum roll* Wedge 1 and SFM 4
Son of Ripper 0.2 ( Vs Tengu 4 (2
Ta ta Son of Ripper 0.2. Bin bags are located here * points to a roll of bin bags hanging up by that hidden house robot* Tengu 4 to hit and remove those wheels.
Platinum Pure Evil (3) Vs Dishonourable Discharge (27)
Dishonourable Discharge is a drum robot. How many wheels left on Platinum Pure Evil? *Looks in pit* 0 wheels on my robot
Basically what will happen when CS and MDU meet will be a loud bang, the generated energy will be in the area of 1 MJ to each robot, and that energy will blow apart both robots, and basically create a huge hole in the floor, in which both robots will fall and because MDU has petrol on board a giant fireball will come up and kill sir killalot
To quote someone
That robot came in a traller, now you can put it in your glove box
mmmm, I like the predictions
Im fairly confident in this battle, main tactic, get in early and attack CS before it has a chance to get to max power and Ill try to break him before I break both of us
Ive wanted this grudge match to happen for a while!
