Tactics and predictions, anyone?

[joey_picus]

FRFFT: Series Two

How many robots go through from each fight?

[eene]

FRFFT: Series Two

There are 16 4 way fights, which two robots win. Then it goes to one on ones

[joey_picus]

FRFFT: Series Two

Tactics:

Satanix: Ram and pit things.

Hard Cheese: Attempt to do the same, try and wedge and pit things.

The Hurting: If Dan agrees, team up with him. Use the rear to fend robots off until the disc is spun up, and then go for either of the other two (not Dervish), hit them with the disc and flip them as and when necessary.

Isolation: Go after Werewolf and keep hitting the Hardox, should be able to rip something off it and immobilise it. Then go after the other bot (Heretic) and tear into it too... Aiming to hit the sides or corners or skirting on either opponent to get that nice panel tearing effect

Will let Little Hitter do his thing, will save me having to fight so much.

QuaestOr III: Axe, flip, and team up with things. Try and get a few pittings and/or OOTAs there.

Drive: Open the pit, and send opponents into it. You cant stop the Drive...

Doom: Drive around, attempt to push things, get destroyed, take losing with a smile.

Kick Robut: Use the chisel forks to get underneath and lift opponents, breaking their traction, and then carry them to the pit.

Good luck people

Will post tactics etc. later tonight when I get back to Swansea.

FRFFT: Series Two

Welcome to Fighting Robots Fan-Fiction Tournament: Series Two! Its only been a few months since Series One began and here we are!

To begin the new year, we have a featherweight battle will all real robots.

From England, Beauty 2!

Lewis entered this wedge robot with a Co2 powered flipper. The armour is made from Titanium and Plastic, which should hold up to some blows. But once the Co2 runs out, the flipper becomes useless!

From England, Firefly!

This featherweight version of heavyweight robot Firestorm was entered by Daniel. Just like its heavyweight counterpart, Firefly is armed with a Co2 powered flipper. Is it as powerful, though?

From England, Pillow Torque!

A box wedge with four wheels, Pillow Torque has the advantage of speed and power. Entered by AJ, this robot looks set to cause a few suprises. But how damaging can it be?

From England, Satanix!

Joey entered this wedge robot armed with spikes which should cause a few dents. It can run upside down, but the wheels are exposed to stronger attacks by the other robots!

Roboteers, stand by!

These four are new to the field.

3-2-1: Activate!

What a battle to start Series Two! Satanix on the left goes for Pillow Torque, but AJ turns to go for Firefly! It doesnt get underneath it, allowing Daniel to throw Pillow Torque onto its back. Pillow Torque is invertible, so that doesnt harm it. Satanix turns its attention to Beauty 2, who gets underneath and THROWS it across the floor! Satanix upside down, it tries to run away, but Beauty 2 catches up and flips it into the CPZ! Joey looks worried. Pillow Torque presses the pit release. Satanix escapes the CPZ and bumps into Firefly, pushing it into the wall. Beauty 2 is bashed by Pillow Torque and taken to the flame pit! Refbot looks on. All the robots are mobile. Satanix pushes Firefly into the corner of the CPZ. Daniel fires the flipper at thin air, thats a waste of Co2. Pillow Torque backs away and DRIVES straight up Refbot! It falls back the right way up, but gets flipped by Beauty 2 for its troubles! Satanix is just eying out who to go for next...but Firefly wants revenge and FLIPS it against the angle grinder. The crowd want destruction! Hopefully theyll get it. Satanix on the front of Firefly and its being pushed INTO the pit! Daniel laughs as Satanix falls in. Pillow Torque hits Beauty 2 from behind and pushes it into the angle grinder! Lewis tries to get away, but the wedge is stuck under the grinder. Pillow Torque keeps ramming it. The last ten seconds count down. Beauty 2 cant do anything. Firefly nudges it a few times, but gets pushed away by Pillow Torque into the wall across the way.

Cease!

What a battle. Satanix is out, but the other three were still mobile. Beauty 2 wasnt immobolised for 30 seconds, say the judges. Theyll make the decision. Its coming in now!

Beauty 2: S: 1 C: 2 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 7

Pillow Torque: S: 2 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 9

Firefly: S: 2 C: 2 D: 2 A: 2 Total: 8

Beauty 2 loses its good looks. Controversial. Sorry, Lewis.

Firefly and Pillow Torque go into the next round!

Next time, the media and cheese wont want to get in the path of this rocket launch. Whatever that stands for...I dont know! The first of our middleweight competitions

See you later! Sorry about the rubbish jokes!

FRFFT: Series Two

Having checked with Dave, Im pretty sure Fireflys weapon isnt pneumatic, it even says on the RR site its a linear actuator driven lifter.

[kodster]

FRFFT: Series Two

Not liking that first fight...a few mistakes already showing up...

[kodster]

FRFFT: Series Two

Stupid FRA limiting their edit time to 10 minutes...SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THAT

THE EDIT: Just so I dont sound like a total arse, Ill tell you a few of the mistakes. One was the one Joey said above: Firefly has linear actuated weaponry, not pneumatic. The second was bots apparently escaping the CPZ with no mention of house robots. Third, the bots are so small, I doubt theyd get wedged underneath the angle grinder, and theyd simply pull away. Its the bigger boys that get wedged in there, like Bad Attitude the middleweight.

Sorry, but yeah. :P

FRFFT: Series Two

Last time, Beauty 2 and Satanix were defeated. Firefly and Pillow Torque went through to the next round.

Next, we have four middleweight robots.

From Wales, El Diablo Media!

Liam Elliot entered this Chaos II lookalike armed with a Co2 powered flipper! Will it be as successful as the real thing? Well wait and see. This is the reigning Middleweight champion!

From California in the USA, T-Minus!

Samuel and the boys from Interia Labs have returned from Series One. Armed with a powerful flipping arm, this machine won the Battlebots Series Five Middleweight Championships. The wheels are exposed, however.

From Liverpool, in England, Hard Cheese!

The Robot Wars Series Two Middleweight Champion, Hard Cheese had many weapons: a spike, an axe. Now, it has a Pussycat style spinning blade. Joey McC will hope to grate the opposition here.

From England, ROID!

The middleweight entrant from AJ. This robot has a simple design: a two wheel drive wedge. Being fast, itll outrun some of the dangerous robots. But what danger does it possess itself? Well see.

Liam wants to hold on to the title! The others want to take it off him!

3-2-1: Activate!

T-Minus makes the first move towards El Media Diablo, who gets around the side and tries to flip it over, but misses. Hard Cheese comes in and hits El Media Diablo with the sawblade. Liam gets away and goes after ROID, who has pressed the pit release button! OH! ROID flipped over. It can run upside down, though. AND WHAT was that! Hard Cheese crashes down onto its side after being flipped by T-Minus! El Media Diablo tries to get T-Minus from behind, but misses again! ROID smashes Hard Cheese back onto its wheels. Joey was lucky there. El Media Diablo gets under T-Minus and FLIPS it over! T-Minus self-rights and chases after the champion! Hard Cheese gives chase also. ROID pushes T-Minus from the side and shoves it into the wall! Hard Cheese hides behind the Refbot, but El Media Diablo catches up and FLIPS it over onto its side again! This time, Joey isnt going to get any help! ROID lets T-Minus go. Was that a mistake? AJ smashes into El Media Diablo again and pushes it towards the pit! Liam backs away. Refbot is counting out Hard Cheese. What a shame.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
T-Minus comes in and HURLS Hard Cheese into the CPZ. Thats how powerful T-Minus is! The toy mouse falls off. Ha ha! ROID continues to scuffle with El Media Diablo. AJ pushes Liams robot into the wall, but El Media Diablo gets away and turns to get in a flip, but ROID is too fast! AND out goes Hard Cheese in the background! T-Minus, after being defeated last time, looks very strong! The last ten seconds count down! El Media Diablo flips ROID against the angle grinder. It drops down and tries to push El Media Diablo into the pit! Will it go in...NO! The judges will have to decide!

Cease!

Hard Cheese is grated! ROID, El Media Diablo and T-Minus are still standing. Well done to them. Im going to call the three teams out onto the podium whilst the judges make their decision.

T-Minus: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10

ROID: S: 2 C: 2 D: 0 A: 3 Total: 7

El Media Diablo: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10

The judges say ROID is out. Theres some controversy surrounding this, but El Media Diablo and T-Minus go through. Liam keeps the crown, but for how long?

Next time: the heavyweights make a return! Champion The Hurting takes on three newcomers. Joey is confident he can take them all on. We shall see.

See you then.

Joey and Kody, I apologise for the mistakes in the first fight, about Firefly and any other featherweight robots I made. Hopefully, this fight was up to your expectations. Tell me if it isnt, and things will be done to improve it.
