FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

As you may remember, I began FRFFT: Series Two a few weeks ago. But do to incompetence, yes, incompetence on my part, I had to cancel it...

But, here, I am starting again! So welcome to Fighting Robots Fan-Fiction Tournament: Series Two!

Before we begin the first fight of the show, lets look at whos fighting:

Ziggy, from the USA, entered by Will H, won the Series One Superheavyweight Competition and is seeded second for the series. With a powerful flipper, Will hopes to do well

From England, Tidal Wave!

Entered by Will H also, this high pressure flipper hasnt been around for long, but it looks heavily armoured. Its quick, but as said before, it is inexperienced in the robotic combat field.

From England, Little Flipper 3!

Another newcomer entered by Paul, Little Flipper is Big Nippers younger sibling. Armed with a Co2 powered flipper, it looks set to do well. But once the Co2 runs out, Little Flipper could be flipped itself!

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

Tidal Wave tries to get around the side of Little Flipper, but Paul turns away and turns to face the back. Tidal Wave comes back around and FLIPS Little Flipper over! Little Flipper self-rights and tries to get revenge. Tidal Wave gets caught sideon and is THROWN against the wall. It uses the flipper to self-right, but Little Flipper took advantage and is able to push it against the wall again! Will Tidal Wave go out? NO! Little Flipper isnt that powerful. Will recovers and comes around the side again, this time he gets a flip in, but Little Flipper comes back right way up. Paul presses the pit release button, and gets THROWN out of the way by Tidal Wave. It self-rights, and Paul comes in again! It lifts Tidal Wave up, but not over! Close so far! Tidal Wave charges in and flips again! Little Flipper on its back, but it self-rights and tries to fight back. Refbot looks on. Tidal Wave gets under Little Flipper, but doesnt flip! And theres why! Its being pushed towards the pit! OH, and Paul manages to back off at the last minuet! Tidal Wave almost drives in, and Will doubles back, but Little Flipper catches it first and FLIPS it onto its back! Can Tidal Wave...yes, it can self-right from there, but Paul rams it from behind and ALMOST into the pit. Right on the edge! They are playing a dangerous game here, both roboteers! Its close so far! I think Little Flipper is on top here. Tidal Wave is trying to lure Little Flipper to the edge, but Paul isnt buying it! They go back to the centre of the arena, and Little Flipper pushes fron the side! Tidal Wave gets away and tries to sneak around the side. It fires its flipper, but misses! Wasted Co2 there! Will is nervous. Paul thinks he has this one in the bag. The last ten seconds count down. Little Flipper charges headlong at Tidal Wave and gets stuck on the front! OH! Over it goes! Little Flipper self-rights and nudges Will one last time!

Cease!

What a fight! I hope you liked it. The judges will make the decision.

Tidal Wave: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 8

Little Flipper 3: S: 2 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 9

It was close. But Little Flipper wins!

Next up, a blizzard could spell certain doom for the revenge of the black death and a bull in a china shop!

See you then.

Double post, lol :P

[eene]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Oh

I assume you liked the fight, Kody?

[kodster]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

You still need a bit more detail in your fights, ELLIOT. And why was a SHW bot introduced at the start of the fight? :P

[eene]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

I was just introducing a well-known robot to the crowd. In Series Five of Robot Wars, Philippa, before the fights, would walk through the pits and introduce the veteran robots in the heat

[kodster]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Its kinda weird when the robot is not in the same weight class, though.

[eene]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Yes, Kody

Welcome back. Last time, Tidal Wave got calmed by Little Flipper 3. Now, for the Middleweights

From England, Blizzard MW!

Alex has entered this bizzare walking robot. Instead of legs, Blizzard uses screws, shaped in a such a way the robot can move in any direction. Its not easy to grab hold of, but what damage can it really do? Well see.

From Lancashire, Doom!

Entered by Joey McC and David Smith, Doom is an upside down wheelbarrow reinforced with a lunchbox. It can ram opponents with its front scoop, but is made from very weak armour.

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

Blizzard is intriguing, to say the least. Doom tries to push from the side, but look at that, though. Blizzard can move sideways as well! Doom decides to cut it off and charges at the front! But Blizzard, with those screws, can do sideways as well! Doom pursues it, but Alex drives forward at the last moment and pushes Doom with immense force into the wall! The front spikes have embedded themselves into Dooms front, and now Alex can do what he likes with them! Steering them towards the flame pit! We know the lunchbox in Doom that houses the electronics isnt going to last long! Joey tries to pull Blizzard over with it, but Blizzard is too strong! But whats this? Doom has gotten free and slams backwards into the pit release button. It charges back at Blizzard, but gets ambushed from the side! Towards the pit! Joey needs to get away from there! Doom JUST gets away! Blizzard turns to chase after it, but gets slammed again by Doom! Big mistake! The spikes have gotten stuck in Doom again. The drills seem to be doing little damage, but Blizzard makes up for that with 17mph top speeds! RAMMING Doom into the wall again! Refbot looks on. Is Doom immobolised? So far, Blizzard is on top. Joey looks uncertain about Dooms future in FRFFT though! The Refbot knocks the two apart! Something has come off Blizzards front there! Was it one of the spikes? I dont know. Doom slowly, yes, slowly trying to make its escape, but Blizzard pushes from behind and towards the pit...theres no escape this time! Down it goes! What a shame, but Blizzard was truly on top there!

Cease!

Doom in the pit.
Blizzard breezes into the next round!

Now to go behind the scenes. After looking at the damage to Doom, Joey found one of Blizzards ramming/drilling spikes in the armour. This is what the judges scordcards looked like

Blizzard: S: 3 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 10
Doom: S: 1 C: 2 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 6

Next time, the heavyweights go head to head for the first time in the series!

Later, all

[kodster]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

ELLIOT! Alex asked you to wait for the new stats! It doesnt matter if he won or not, you should at least be courteous to wait for some updates as per what he said earlier:quote:

They will be versions of Sith, MW Blizzard and Red Knight are the three otherweights - but their weights are probably wrogn atm so thats why they need updating before they can pbe properly entered.That, or at least ask Alex if its okay to use the earlier version. :P

[alex_holt]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

May I point out that while I had no particular plans to update them, Im pretty sure than blizzard is overweight unless you are giving it a weight bonus.

All my otherweights were originally designed for some tournament with non-standard weighting categories which is why they needed updating. If of course you dont mind their current weights then feel free to continue, but its probably unfair on everyone else to do so.

[eene]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Alex, since Blizzard qualifies as a walker, I will accept the 69kg weight limit. Their weights are OK, according to me

Kody, I do apologise, once again. Should I wait for Samuel and Will to post their tactics since theyre fighting in the next battle?

[kodster]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Blizzard is a walker??? Now Ive seen everything. :P

[eene]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

I dont know what it is. A screwbot, stompbot and shuffler count as walking robots to me. If they dont to you, Im sorry.

I dont seem to be good at this as I was the first time.

[joey_picus]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

You said that after Ripper beat Tempest in CC1 :P

I think you can write the battle before getting tactics if youre desperate...check that Sams and Mattys bots are the ones they entered this time though

[eene]

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

For the next battle, Samuel has 2nd Revenge of Black Death and Matty had BIACS-IS

So, I can still write it, Joey?
