FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

ELLIOT, I think the best thing for you to do would be to write some battles and post them in the HCII thread, where people can help you with them.

And read this thread too: http://strickenone.proboards99.com/index.cgi?board=gen&action=display&thread=460http://strickenone.proboards99.com/i...lay&thread=460

Your fights in the first tournament were pretty much on par with these...I dunno why nobody really helped you there...

yeah thats cool.

Spin up under the arms, lift the arms up wreak havoc.

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Will: Correct me if Im wrong:

BIACS-IS is a pyramid. The sides are arms that can go up and down. Underneath the pyramid is a spinning disc? Does it cover the whole chassis of the robot or is it in one place? (Back, front...?)

Its an odd design

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

From England, BIACS-IS!

An odd design by Will, BIACS-IS is a pyramid with lifting sides that lift up together. But that reveals the main course: a 2450rpm spinning disc! The arms can close to allow the disc to spin up safely, but if it is stopped...the bull could soon be coralled!

From England, 2nd Revenge of Black Death!

Samuel entered this Firestorm-type flipper. The flipper has the same power as real robot Envy, which should provide some powerful flips. At the back is a powerful spinning disc! But once the Co2 runs out, someone will be getting revenge on it!

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

BIACS-IS, I must say, is very odd in design. Samuel turns Black Death around to use the disc and...OUCH! He backed straight into BIACS and was spun away a bit! BIACS turns towards it, but Black Death goes away to spin its disc up again! BIACS is chasing it down, but Samuel goes for a hit again and OH! Sparks fly, and something goes flying off the back of Black Death! Was it a tooth from the disc, I wonder? Samuel decides to use the flipper, and tries to get under BIACS with the Firestorm-style wedge. BIACS is slower, but it is the more effective in weapons! Will lifts the arms up again and charges at Black Death! OH! And a mighty CRASH shakes the arena! Black Death fired its flipper to repel the disc away, but it didnt work. The flipper has a tear in it and BIACS is getting away. It presses the pit release and turns to face the battered Black Death again. The arms raise, and its like a old Western gun fight here! Black Death draws first and charges into Black Death with the flipper still up! SPARKS fly, and Black Death is spun away, ALMOST into the pit. It gets away, but BIACS is closing in and CLIPS the rear disc! Sparks fly, and BIACS disc is stopped. Will closes the arms to spin the disc up again. Black Death takes advantage and SMASHES into the front arm with the disc! No damage, though, just a small gash, but the arms yawn open again and Black Death tries to get away...BUT it doesnt! Another hit and it goes spinning a few feet! The flipper fires, and Co2 pours out. Thats a waste of Co2. BIACS charges in for the kill, but Samuel turns around...OH, and gets caught by BIACS disc as it does! A piece of metal flies off! Black Death looks very tattered. Will closes the arms and tries to push Black Death onto the flame pit, but Black Death has more speed, and pushes it...FLIPS it over! Has that mistake cost Will the match? BIACS self-rights and gets a WHACK from Black Deaths disc! A good battle so far, but I think BIACS is on top, here! The last ten seconds count down. The arms open up for the final hit...OUCH! Black Death has a mighty gash down the side now! It pushes into BIACS and tries to flip it over, but BIACS manages to hold its ground! Into the wall, Black Death finishing the stronger here!

Cease!

What a battle. Both robots caused damage to each other, but the judges will make the final decision!

BIACS-IE: S: 2 C: 3 D: 3 A: 2 Total: 10

2nd Revenge of Black Death: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 8

The Black Death is coralled!
BIACS-IS is the winner!

Well done to Will and BIACS-IS!

Next up, the final battle of Heat A, and Ziggy, the Series One Superheavyweight Champion, takes on The Red Knight!

And now a note

TO EVERYONE: I apologise very much if my description of BIACS-IS was NOT to anyones expectations. I researched is as much as I could, and came to the current shape as described in the match

[eene]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Sorry about the mistakes last time. This battle however, will be to everyones expectations (I hope...)

From the USA, Ziggy!

Will entered the Series One Superheavyweight Champion. Its a superheavyweight version of Biohazard thats more well armoured. Its got an amazing Co2 powered flipper, but when that runs out, Ziggy could get zagged!

From England, The Red Knight!

The Red Knight is a 4WD box, on top of which is a turret powered by a sensor that detects other robots. At the end is a scoop hiding a flywheel powered by a Magmoter. It can self-right, but axes may get a direct hit on the top!

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

The Red Knight takes the first move to the left and as Ziggy approaches, the turret turns to block the flipper. Will gets under the scoop and FLIPS, but it barley lifts the front up! OH! The turret swung around and smacked the side of Ziggy. Sparks fly! Alex backs away, but Ziggy comes in again and tries to flip! It does, but The Red Knights bulky form makes it hard to turn over. More sparks fly as the flywheel contacts with Ziggys steel armour! Will tries to sneak around the back, but the sensor directs the turret to push Ziggy away! A defensive weapon, that turret! OUCH! Ziggy spun away by the flywheel, and Alex is on top here. Refbot looks on as Ziggy...HA-HA! It flips Refbot over, only to be smacked on the side by The Red Knight! Ziggy tries to get around the side and OH! It flips The Red Knight up on its side, but not quite over. Down it crashes, and Ziggy presses the pit release button! Now Will backs towards the flywheel. OUCH! Ziggy gets spun away again! Its taking a beating, but no visible damage as such. Again it turns, and The Red Knight is waiting with its flywheel! OHH! Ziggy goes headlong into the flywheel and tried to flip The Red Knight over, but the front support for the flipper got snapped! Now Ziggys lifter is partially open. It tries to push in reverse from the side, and does so, getting between the turret and the wheels to push it against the wall, but The Red Knight gets away! A good battle so far. Ziggy is weaponless, though. The Red Knight...OUCH! Ziggy almost went airborne from the centrifugal force of being spun around by the flywheel! Sparks litter the warzone floor, and Alex pushes in from the side. OHH! Ziggy smashed against the wall! Is it mobile? It looks like it on one side, and The Red Knight comes in for the kill. OUCH! OH! Ziggy smacked into the CPZ, and now the flipper is back in place! That knock must have unjammed the buckled pneumatic arm, but I dont think its still working properly. And now I think Ziggy is out! Its weapon wont work, and Will has lowered his controls! The Refbot cant count it out, but Red Knights disc is winding down. Alex relaxes and tries to push Ziggy towards the pit with the turret. Almost...and DOWN it goes! Ziggy, the 2nd Seed in the Superheavyweight Competition, is out! What a shame!

Cease!

Ziggy gets caught in a zip!
The Red Knight gallops into the next round!

Im in the pits with Will and Noel Sharkey, one of the judges. It looks like the flippers pneumatic arm was split, so the flipper couldnt work. But the real damage was the movable link. It was shaken from its case during the last hit!

So, Little Flipper 3, Blizzard MW, BIACS-IS and The Red Knight are through!

Not to be rude, but Im losing interest in this because noone else will post anything

[joey_picus]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Its a lull, fanfic tends to have these from time to time _ I do hope theres some activity soon though.

[kodster]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

It usually happens around this time of the year. :P

[eene]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Would another battle interest you two?

[paulc]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

It would interest me as well, because I think I entered Little Flipper 3 and its won a battle - I want to see it win another one

[paulc]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Oh yes - Nitro-Gene hasnt fought yet:

Nitro-Gene 5.0 vs. Armoured Wedgie
Yay! Lewis first battle, but Im not going to take it easy on you anyway We are similar in a number of things, we both have flippers (mine has a LOT more power than his, but he has a LOT more flips than me) we both are 4 wheel drive and go at 20mph (but I have a lower centre of mass, and this will make me more stable, harder to flip and easier to control) and we have powerful drives run at 36V (but my S28-400 Mags produce 12hp compared to the 7hp his Bosch 750s produce).

Tactics simple - dodge to his sides (shouldnt be too tricky with my better, more stable control) and shove him to the edge and throw him out - with one flip. If he flips me, I can run inverted.
For this fight, use the flipper only for self-righting and for OOTAing when near the wall.

Good luck Lewis :wink:

[Guest]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Against Nitro-Gene Armoured Wedgie will flip him once, then leave him unless he self-rights, in which case flip him again. I should get under him due to my wedge shape. I dont know why Paul thinks hes more stable, and besides bigger motors doesnt mean hell push me, its more about traction. I win in any battle that lasts anyway, so stay away from the sides of the arena, plus the tyres at my sides will make it hard for him to flip me very far anyway unless he gets right underneath, which is impoissble as his front is completely flat.

Good luck Paul

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Dont give up, ELLIOT! Only four people have written a battle this year, and you are one of them. So keep up the good work during this frustrating boredom...

[joey_picus]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Agreed with Andy, I would be interested in another battle as well.

While Im here Paul, Id like to know where you expect Lewis to get seven horsepower from if hes running two 36v Bosches...

[paulc]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Tornado had 2 x Bosch 750s at 36V, and they produced 7hp.
