FRFFT: Series Two

Better, but could use a bit more detail.

Team up, eh...for this fight Im going to go after The Hurting, wedge it, and try and shove it into Dervish. Keep doing it until one of them dies, then finish off the other. DONT use the flippers until Dervish is out of the picture. If Samuel wants to help out, hes more than welcome to, so dont attack Blue Hurricane unless he comes after me.

FRFFT: Series Two

That was quick... I barely had a chance to post tactics since Im not on this forum 24/7 Still I won so w00t

Tactics:
SLAM! ~ Fancy a team-up Andy? Those realies are no match for us, since The Judge is lighter than me and doesnt like flippers and Toro is about 50kg lighter than me, so I can throw him out with no problems

The ROC ~ Do my thing really, Im open for team-ups.

Son of Whyachi ~ eep! run away! spin!

Werewolf ~ Joeys tactics are pretty odd, seeming as he plans to rip hardox with a plough and twacking tail... So go for him if hes going for me unless you wanna teamup Joey?

Zero ~ Team-up Kody? both realies have weak armour, even if Kody doesnt want to team-up I will mash them with my disc. XD

Apocalypto ~ Sigh... realies... Flip. Them. Out.

System Shock ~ Open for team-ups here. Since Intrigous and Supreme are in there Ill employ my anti-axe cage with the disc on it and trash anyone that opposes moi. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Good luck everyone

FRFFT: Series Two

Kody, there arent any house robots in FRFFT. I might have a surprise later!

In the pits, the heavyweight robots are waiting
to go into the arena. First, lets take a look at a featherweight entry: Firefly. Generally a smaller version of Firestorm, it has a linear actuator powered flipper. Daniel entered this robot. It has competed in Robot Wars Live Events

Back to the fight. The Hurting, the Heavyweight Champion, takes on three newcomers

From England, The Hurting

Joey McCs heavyweight robot The Hurting is armed with a powerful spinning disc, the energy provided from which powers a flipper. But once the disc is stopped, The Hurting might get hurt itself!

From Toronto in Canada, Wedgin8tor!

Wedgin8tor has two flippers: one on the top and one on the bottom. This means, should it be flipped, it can run inverted and still have a weapon! Kody seems to have covered all the bases here, but the wheels look a bit exposed!

From England, Blue Hurricane!

Samuel entered a good looking robot here. With a basic spinning ring design, Blue Hurricane hopes to sweep the opposition away! But when push comes to shove, with only two wheels, it has the disadvantage.

From Wales, Dervish: The Lee 7 Generation!

This machine looks like Robot Wars veteran Barberous 2nabit, but the spinning shell is protected by a boxy cage. The wheels are protected as well. Well built, but if the weapon becomes incapacitated, what else can it do?

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

Dervish decides to take Blue Hurricane first, sensing it is the weakest here. Wedgin8tor turns to face it first though, but misses the chance and...OUCH! Sparks fly from Dervishs spinning drum and Wedgin8tors top flipper has a gash in it! The Hurting comes in from the side and gives Kody another smack. Blue Hurricane hits Dervish on the wheel guard and something comes off there! A large piece of metal! Dervish attacks again and TOSSES Wedgin8tor over! The Hurting goes to press the pit release button, and smashes up the button in the process. Blue Hurricane strikes it on the back and almost bounces INTO THE PIT! That was close! Blue Hurricane gets away...right into Dervishs drum. OUCH! Sparks and chips of metal fly everywhere. Blue Hurricane almost thrown to one side. Wedgin8tor gets underneath the wheel guard and flips Dervish away! The Hurting collides with Dervish. Something goes flying across the arena then! The Hurtings disc has stopped and Dervish turns its attention on Joey! OH! The Hurting almost flipped over by the force of the impact. Blue Hurricane nudges it from behind and gets flipped by Wedgin8tor! The spinning ring is no longer functioning. What a fight this is! Another piece of metal goes flying across the arena! AND The Hurting is toppled by Wedgin8tor, who in turn is smacked silly by Dervish. Blue Hurricane is staying out of the way and wisely so! Dervish is like a mad thing out there! The Hurtings disc has stopped working for some reason, meaning the flipper cannot be used as a Srimech. Is the champion going out? Wedgin8tor seems to have stopped. Did the link come out after that hit? Blue Hurricane nudges Dervish on the side. Bad move...Ouch! Blue Hurricane gets a gash down the side. Wedgin8tor is moving on one side. The Hurting is definetly out! Refbot comes in to count it out. The reigning Heavyweight champion has met its match in Dervish. What a machine!
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Dervish comes in to finish off The Hurting. Daniel has switched off the drum and is pushing The Hurting onto the drop zone! That looks like a bouy hanging up there!
3-2-1: DROP!
Down it comes! OHH! A dent is made on the bottom of The Hurting. Refbot takes a look at Wedgina8tor. The last ten seconds count down. Dervish is definetly going through. Blue Hurricane rams Wedgin8tor onto the flame pit. Kody seems confident! What a battle that was!

Cease!

The Hurting loses its crown and most of its dignity! Dervish, Blue Hurricane and Wedgin8tor are the survivors. Who will win. The judges will decide!

Dervish TL7G: S: 3 C: 3 D: 3 A: 3 Total: 12

Wedgin8tor: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 7

Blue Hurricane: S: 2 C: 2 D: 2 A: 3 Total: 9

Dervish and Blue Hurricane are the winners! But Ive recieved breaking news!

Im here in the pits. Samuel has told the judges Blue Hurricane took such a beating it might not be fixed in time. If not, Kody will take the spot!

For now though, it and Dervish are the winners of this fight. Well done!

Next up, the Superheavyweights! See you then!

FRFFT: Series Two

Not doing too well am I?

[eene]

FRFFT: Series Two

You neednt worry, Joey. You still have some robots out there!

Anyway, since theres nothing else to do, heres the next fight!

Welcome back! Last time, Dervish mauled the opposition and won along with Blue Hurricane. Due to damage sustained during the fight, Blue Hurricane may not fight in Round 2. Kody doesnt want that to happen, even though he would take Samuels place. Sportsmanship all around then.

Four superheavyweights now. Dont blink, or you might miss it!

From California in the USA, Toro!

Defeated by Ziggy last time, Toro, entered by Samuel, hopes to go all the way with its Co2 powered flipper. The flipper has been unreliable before, though.

From California in the USA, The Judge!

Another American real robot, The Judges weapon is a large axe/hammer that can cause some damage. Paul entered it for this series. However, it has no srimech and has been unreliable in Battlebots in the past.

From Wales, SLAM!

Liam entered this 4WD box wedge. The weapon is a lifting arm, although it prefers to ram the other robots around. Its invertible, but the weapon doesnt work the other way around.

From England, Shovearound 2.0!

Another 4WD box wedge, entered by AJ. Shovearound is armed with Panic Attack style lifting forks to get a robot then drag it around. The forks arent usable if its flipped, though.

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

SLAM charges straight at Toro and rams it into the wall! Toro bounces off, avoiding a hit by The Judge, who turns around to go after it. Shovearound 2.0 bashes into Paul and starts to lift The Judge up with the lifting forks. SLAM breaks the pair up, toppling The Judge onto its side. Shovearound pushes The Judge onto its top. Toro comes in and flips The Judge back into its wheels, only to be pushed into the CPZ by SLAM! Liam is determined to get rid of it! Toro is lifted up and onto its side. The Judge whacks Toro with the axe, but Toro self-rights and turns on The Judge. It gets underneath AND throws The Judge out of the arena! That wasnt expected! The Judge is out, but SLAM isnt scared by that. It charges at Toro, but misses, allowing Toro to come around the side and FLIP it upside down! Shovearound pushes Toro from the side and starts to lift it up. Toro pushed onto its side! It self-rights, but is pushed onto the flame pit by SLAM! Shovearound presses the pit release button. Toro is being carried closer, but not into the pit! SLAM spares it and pushes it against the angle grinder! Toro escapes and gets revenge by HURLING Shovearound upside down! SLAM bumps into Toro and tries to push it away. Toro turns and flips SLAM the right way up. AJ slams into Liams robot and starts to push it towards the pit! Liam uses the lifter to flip himself away. Toro gets in from behind and pushes SLAM towards the pit! SLAMs wheels are off the ground, so Liam cant push back. Toro flips SLAM...INTO THE pit! What an end! Liam goes out! Toro, after a rocky start, comes back to claim victory along with Shovearound 2.0!

Cease!

The Judge gets put to death. SLAM is slammed!

Toro and Shovearound 2.0 go into the next round!

Thats all for Heat A! But next time, the return of Featherweight Champion Deadly Lampshade and Superheavyweight Champion Ziggy! See you then!

FRFFT: Series Two

...I spared my opponent? Why?

And why didnt I self-right? and why did my flipper feebly tip robots onto their sides? and how would al my wheels be off the ground if Toro (who doesnt have a wedge) got under me? My back ones would sat on the ground and theres enough power there to outpush Toro easily.

That was very strange...

FRFFT: Series Two

Youre right, Liam. Now that I picture it, the outcome should have been different

[swimm3r]

FRFFT: Series Two

The judges noticed some discrepencies in the previous match. They have called for a rematch. Samuel, Liam, Paul and AJ all want it. The robots will start off where they originally were

3-2-1: Activate!

SLAM takes a change of tactics and smashes into The Judge! Toro breaks the pair up, but HURLS The Judge on its back! Shovearound 2.0 rams SLAM from behind and activates the lifting forks. The Judge self-rights and comes back on the attack of Toro. Samuel flips it over AGAIN! Shovearound carries SLAM over to the flame pit and lets it go! The Judge self-rights, but Toro flips it...not over again! The Judge SMACKS Toro with the axe, but Samuel is unfazed and instead charges for SLAM! OHH! SLAM is thrown onto its back, it self-rights with the lifting arm, but Toro crashes in again and pushes it towards the wall! Will SLAM go out...NO! Toro flipped it into the CPZ. Shovearound 2.0 presses the pit release button and is bumped by The Judge who strikes it with the axe. SLAM has escaped and gets under Toro! AND over it goes! Toro self-rights, but SLAM comes in again and pushes all the way INTO the pit! What a shock! Toro is out! SLAM turns around and pushes The Judge into the wall! The impact echoes through the arena, The Judge was flipped over in the process. It self-rights, but now its stuck on top of the angle grinder! SLAM comes in and helps it down, only for Shovearound to get underneath and lift it up! Paul fires the axe, trying to get away, but Shovearound directs it over to the pit! AJ goes full speed, but SLAM hits Shovearound from the side. The Judge topples over again and gets bashed by Shovearound again. Paul self-rights, but SLAM comes in from behind and SMACKS him into the wall once again! The Judge turns away and fires the axe at thin air. A cloud of Co2 purs out of The Judge, did that impact damage the Co2 canisters that power the axe? Shovearound gets the forks under once again and starts to lever it over! The axe of The Judge is stuck in the fired position. Its on its back, and I think Paul and Joshua Little have very little chance now! The Refbot comes in to count them out. They were beaten in the original match anyway, but they did well to stay in this long.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
SLAM pushes The Judge onto the floor flipper. And away it goes! Crashing to the floor! Something comes off. I think it was the removable link! SLAM pushes it over the dropzone. The punishment isnt ending here! I can see what appears to be another bouy on the drop zone!
3-2-1: DROP!
OHH! The Judges armour has a large dent in it! Shovearound and SLAM push it towards the pit. Toro is taking up too much space, though!

Cease!

They wanted a rematch, and they got it! The Judge doesnt get off lightly this time, and Toro is put down!

SLAM and Shovearound 2.0 are the winners!

Bye, everyone. See you later!

You should seriously follow tactics, ELLIOT. I specifically said not to use the flipper until Dervish was out of the picture, and how could the flipper gash from Dervishs weapon if it was closed? (Dervish has an egg-beater, not a drum by the way, the egg-beater much more violent weapon that sends bots flying instead of rips :P) Also, why did I attack Blue Hurricane? I specifically said not to attack it unless it attacked me in turn, and it didnt. Im not happy.

This isnt right. This isnt right at all.

I should have started with one of those 8-robot competitions, shouldnt have I?
