OverDrive vs. Deadly Lampshade

Just keep raming it. Its a pretty powerful spinner but Ive got 20mm of armour on the front, so if I can keep the front facing it I should be fine. Keep the pressure on all the time, keep it cornered against the walls and stop it from spinning up whenever possible. Feed it to the hazards when I can.

Hello, and welcome to FRFFT: Series One! We have 16 robots, but only four can win! Its a unique setup, but read on and youll get the gist of it!

Our first battle is between two featherweights: Deadly Lampshade and OverDrive!

AJ has entered OverDrive. It is an exact copy of Tornado. Instead of an active weapon, it prefers to use its FWD to push the others around the arena. Capable of pushing a middleweight, it will have no trouble here. But how much damage will pushing do?

Daniel has entered Deadly Lampshade. Its weapon is its shell, which spins at 3000rpm. Armed with two titanium teeth positioned to cut the wheels of other robots, it looks a formidable foe. But with no srimech, it could soon be over AND out!

3-2-1: Activate!

The shell of Deadly Lampshade gets up to full speed as it moves towards its prey. The only problem...OverDrive is too fast! The chase is on for now...but OverDrive gives a shove from the side! Deadly Lampshade against the angle grinders. Daniel needs to use the teeth to rip up the four wheels of OverDrive, but I think its too low! AJ allows Deadly Lampshade to escape and get up to full speed. Are the teeth hitting the wrong place. Another bash, this time sparks do fly! The shape of Deadly Lampshade allows OverDrive to slide away from it! I cant see any damage to both robots at the moment. Can Deadly Lampshade, at 10mph 5 miles slower that OverDrive, catch it out. YES, it can! An attack on the side! Did the wheels get caught? I guess not. Daniel is shunted again, these two robots are evenly matched, but...is that something coming from underneath OverDrive? Is it part of the tyre? Deadly Lampshade gives it another smack! Overdrive spins into the wall! AJ regains control and gets in another hit on the side. Theres a split on the side! I didnt notice that! Another hit sends OverDrive into the CPZ. Its cornered and Deadly Lampshade is showing no mercy! The aluminium armour is showing tatters. The front is reinforced and I think thats why OverDrive has held on so long. Not any more, I think. Deadly Lampshade is slowing down. Daniel knows OverDrive is crippled. Refbot comes in for the count. AJ tries to get away, but its all over!
1-2-3-4-5-6-7--8-9-10!
Deadly Lampshade presses the pit release button. Smoke pours from the burning motors of OverDrive. What a shame!

Cease!

The plug has been pulled on OverDrive!
Deadly Lampshade goes through to the next round!

Next, The Hurting and Shadow Zone Forever go head to head in a Heavyweight showdown!


Was that good?

Not too bad, although Im not sure when motors started catching fire after the armour was hit. :P

Welcome back! Last time, Deadly Lampshade put the light out on OverDrives spotlight. Next, we have two heavyweights: Shadow Zone Forever and The Hurting!

Joey has entered The Hurting, and a complex beast it is too! The main weapon is the front flywheel, and the energy produced from it powers a rear flipper, used for self-righting and attacking from behind! But with a petrol driven weapon, The Hurtings hopes could go up in smoke!

Kody has entered Shadow Zone Forever. It acts like a FWD rammer, but at the back is a Co2 powered flipper in case all else goes wrong. But with a limited Co2 supply, it needs to get the job done quickly! Will it last forever here?

3-2-1: Activate!

The Hurting jostles for position immedietly as SZF charges forth for the first attack! It is the faster overall, SZF. In comes the 3000rpm disc...Kody drives right into it! Is he mad? Maybe, but it has resulted in SZF pushing The Hurting into the wall. No action from the flipper yet. Joey tries to get away, but SZF maintains its dogged pursuit! Under again, the disc meets the front wedge and sparks fly, but no damage to the aircraft aluminium of SZF. The Hurting backs away and gets the disc up to full speed. SZF using its flipper this time...and The Hurting thrown onto its back! Kody celebrates, but The Hurting is spinning its disc up again! SZF comes in and a loud thwack echoes! Its stopped the disc! Joey cant do anything without the disc! SZF hurls it against the wall! Can it get it out...NO! Joey is up against it here! The Hurting slides to earth again and makes contact with the wedge of SZF. I can only see a few scratches. Kody doesnt want to waste any Co2, so he opts to ram The Hurting into the pit release button! OH! And as The Hurting slid down, it hit SZFs wedge and made a small cut in it! Again, and this time SZF rocks a bit, but comes back down! This is an amazing fight! SZF comes in again on the side and ALMOST...into the pit! But The Hurting gets away. Another hit. No damage this time. SZF charges in and OUCH! The side armour has buckled on SZF. The Hurting is baying for blood and it wants it badly...AND the side of the wedge buckled upwards! Oh dear! It was on top at the beginning, SZF but not now. Kody aims for the back of The Hurting and flips it up...but not over! The disc dug into the arena floor. It turns and makes contact, this time, SZF is knocked onto its side! It self-rights with the flipper, but The Hurting uses this chance to hit SZF on the underbelly! A split is formed! The judges are looking on as The Hurting comes in and tears one of the side skirts off! Another gash! The last ten seconds of the clock count down. Kody gets in one last push, up against the angle grinders! The Hurting, in trouble at the end!

Cease!

What a battle. Both robots took a beating from each other, but the judges will make the decision.

(Read Breaking News From My House for my judging method)

Shadow Zone Forever

S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10

The Hurting

S: 3 C: 2 D: 3 A 2: 10

Damage weighs more, so The Hurting, by a very controversial decision, is the winner and goes into the next round!

Next time, in Heat B: More featherweights and a middleweight clash!

Did you like that heat? Im sorry if it wasnt an accurate portrayal of both robots. Same with the JD.

You fights could still use a little bit of work, particularly since little bits of detail are missed out that make the fight more interesting to watch than Hurting hits Shadow Zone. Shadow zone drives in and pushes against the wall, but The Hurting escapes and hits Shadow Zone again

Not gonna complain too much though, seeing as nothing unrealistic happened, the decision was a good reflection on the fight and I won :P, so keep up the good work in that regard

Thanks for that, Joey. Expect more later on

SIDE EVENT NOTICE: I would like four people (It doesnt matter if you have not entered the tournament) to enter two real robots: One UK and one USA. This is something to keep me entertained because I feel like it. I might not do it, but I feel a WOI would be exciting than my battles
