OK, 2 fights today in 1 post!

Spinny Thing Recharged vs Growler

Spinny Thing Recharged was around in Series 1 of From 72 to 1! as Spinny Thing, but it couldnt reach the heat final then, now it faces Growler, and those jaws look impressive, but so does that spinner. This should be hopefully close, so I can have a longer battle!

Immediately Spinny Thing Recharged spins up and Growler quickly manouvers over to the side and to the back of Spinny Thing Recharged, and grabs a hold of Scotts deadly machine and temporarily halts the spin on it. Growler then rams Spinny Thing Recharged against the wall, twice, before letting it go, is letting go of Spinny Thing Recharged a mistake, well it has a force and damages the bottom of the jaw, pretty badly, but doesnt immobilise it though. Growler then gets around and the jaw then takes another hit and the jaw has taken more damage and is almost ripped off, Growler gets a slight hold though on Spinny Thing Recharged and slams it into the pit release button, and when the jaws do let go, Spinny Thing Recharged rips the button right off! It then charges slowly, but it gets a hit on the wheel guard and breaks it right off! However it is by the pit, and Growler has the jaws ready to attack, Scotts plan is to rip the bottom part of the jaw off, and so it tries to, and DOES!!! Spinny Thing Recharged then manouvers away but the wheel gets hit and dammaged on Growler, and Growler manouvers out of control with only 1 wheel working and then it ends up backing itself down the pit.
CEASE!

Growler is growling mad about this loss.
SPINNY THING RECHARGED IS THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS!!!!!

OK, Tempest Evil-Oution, the 11th ranked robot in From 72 to 1! and set to show that it isnt only vapourbots that this machine can handle, and Sgt. Bash could possibly find out why sooner rather than later.

Tempest spins uip and goes straight for the claws, and it immediately spins up and wrecks the top claw! It then waits for bash to do something, but then Tempest Evil-Oution gets a slight bit impatient and attacks the wheel guard on bash, and some armour near the wheel guard too, showing thats its not another spinover. *Audience Groans* Sgt. Bash then tries to push away But it gets its rear panel ripped basically right off, this is what the new and deadly Tempest Evil-Oution will do if youre not careful, and Bash certainly isnt careful Tempest Evil-Oution then hits the pit release button, thinking that its got this one won unless the wheel guards miraculously come off and an axe hits them. :P, but that isnt the case today, Sgt. Bash hits the wheel guard, and then another piece of the armour, Bash tries to attack with the flamethrower, which isnt doing a thing, and then it gets to the back and rips the motors to the flame thrower, and the machine catches fire to itself! Refbot comes in with the extinguisher that puts out Bashs fire, Bash is burnt inside and isnt moving, a 10 count from Refbot ends the fight, which was one sided from the beginning.
CEASE!

Sgt. Bash gets bashed!

Bully vs STR again. The first fight, which broke Bullys unbeaten status is here: http://invisionfree.com/forums/Battling_Bots/index.php?showtopic=97&view=findpost&p=930http://invisionfree.com/forums/Battl...7&view=findpos t&p=930. Im hoping for a rematch of this fight

I seem to be drawing Tempest Evil-Oution a lot these days

For this fight I will be sticking to the 200 kg mode and be on the defensive, hitting the invertible circle with my disc, Tempests reflexs will make it fly

[team_britespark]

From 72 to 1 Extreme Continued!

Tactics: STR beat Bully last time, but this time, its personal!

I will activate the pit release button, and lure STR near it. I will then get the flipper underneath very gingerly and carefully, then flip it right into the pit.
Also, I will try and make STR rebound into the pit by taking a knock from me in the process. 5mm Hardox should withstand the force, but the reflection force should sent STR hurtling towards the pit.

Remember Scott, that was a 3 minute fight, which when to the judges

Must kill msn messenger

From 72 to 1 Extreme Continued!

If he wants to play defensive thats fine by me... Should give me a nice amount of time to spin up fully before charging in

As always, the reflexing means Im transferring the stored energy into kinetic energy so very little of my own power is actually absorbed by the robot. All the shock proofing inside will allow it to land safely, and the middle teeth should stop ANY flywheel hitting the body between the teeth

...So basically as long as I keep away from the pit I should be fine

This fight will be close, I think Frank will win on little scars to the sides of CFYU, even he said he will not be able to cause major damage to the 4cm armour

[pcbore]

From 72 to 1 Extreme Continued!

Nah... Ill dent and scratch the top CM of steel nicely, but chopping through 2 CM of rubber will be hard work then theres another CM of steel to get through... I CAN immobolise CFYU... Just not in a 5 minute fight

On the other hand, theres not much he can do to me either

Remember, the disc has side protectors to avoid any rammers hitting the disc itself. These are very hard to bend, and if they bend, the only way is outwards. The disc on CFYU re-evo is too light on this robot in my view, but it can still hit hard, and with an etek, flip a robot out of the arena.

Anyways, I dont care about the result of this fight, as I am fully retiring soon.

[pcbore]

From 72 to 1 Extreme Continued!

In which case Ill just hit the side protectors and bounce off. CFYU cant hit me if the weapon is spinning

Both machines go after each other with Bully being the main agressor, however Spinny Thing Recharged gets a hit at the front and does some pretty good dammage to Bully before it can get to the side, the dammage isnt really shown though due to the strong Hardox armour, it hits the pit release button, and the pit goes down as Spinny Thing Recharged gets another hit, and another at the rear of Bully, doing suprisingly more dammage to Bully, it then backs off Spinny Thing Recharged but takes a hit, Spinny Thing Recharged avoids the pit, and then Bully tries to take another shot at taking out Spinny Thing Recharged, it gets the flipper to flip but the spinner dammages the flipper in one good hit, and the wood just gets ripped off as it ends up landing on its legs, it then comes in, and breaks the front part of the flipping arm, but is flipped straight into the wood, and it dammages the wood even more, the front part of the flipper has been dammaged, and could be effected on Dannys chances of making it. :sad: Another hit to the side shows dammage to the dammage on Bully we didnt see much of earlier, Bully is then pushed, and after a 4th hit on the lifting arm, it sure is strong, but due to the strength of Spinny Thing Rechargeds spinner, it isnt hanging on by much, however refusing to quit is Bully, as Bully ends up taking another hit, and the flipper comes off by the front part, now it cant flip, but push. Doesnt matter though, Spinny Thing Recharged is getting hits that are causing dammage, one hit doesnt really get through the armour, but another one does. Time runs out, its the first judges decision needed in a while.
CEASE!

Both machines quickly charge at each other with deadly attacks, at leas thats what there potential should be. Anyways, both spinners meet, and they both bounce straight off eath other, but the disc has enough power to flip Tempest Evil-Oution straight over, but its invertible so it doesnt matter. Tempest Evil-Oution then decides manouver to the side, and the spinner scratches through the tough armour of the sides and is bounced straight off, but a small amount of dammage is shown, then it tries to get underneath it with the flipper, but the hinges break off from those low lower teeth on Tempest Evil-Oution! I then charges at the flipper, and gets a pretty good hit on it, but still doesnt really do much to the armour. However unfortunately for Dave, the flipper is pretty useless now, it hits the pit release button, but Tempest Evil-Oution hits CFYU Re-Evolution at the side again, and gets bigger dents, but still very small, then Tempest Evil-Oution gets behind CFYU Re-Evoulution and it hits the flipper and we see a dammaged part, along with the dammaged hinges however Tempest Evil-Oution is pushed into the corner and rammed, but the other hinges get dammaged, and fall off, bye bye flipper, and exposed innards, that is shocking for an impressive machine The spinner then spins in and attacks the weapon drive and drive motor in 1 hit, and theres a bit of smoke, which Refbot puts out with its fire extinguisher, Refbot then counts Daves machine out.
CEASE!

Cut, Flipped Up, yep, you guessed it, CFYU Re-Evolution has evolved into nothing.
