FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

Like Series One, here are the awards. Since there havent been any nominations, its been hard deciding who should get them, but I hope they are to your satisfaction

The Best Newcomer has to go to BIACS-IS from Will H. It beat 2-time Heavyweight champion The Hurting during the semi-finals, and its unique design with a defensive and offensive weapon gives it this award!

The Most Original Entry was given to Drive by Joey McC last time, but this time it goes to ROID by AJ. Although it didnt get far in the series, it took a classic wedge-shaped design that allows it to get under and push other robots.

The Best Sportsmanship Award goes to Lewis Matthews this time. He has not complained about losing a fight and always hands his luck to others. A well deserved award, I think.

The Best Engineered Robot goes to The Red Knight by Alex H. The turret on the end of which is a spinning disc works by a sensor, so it can attack other robots first. Alex entered some other well engineered robots in this series, but I think this is the top of the list.

And the Best Designed Robot goes to BIACS-IS by Will H. Mainly because of the reasons why it won the Best Newcomer Award, the way it is constructed and performs in the arena makes it very hard for others to defeat. Well done, Will.

And later on, Sith and Deadly Lampshade will fight for the FRFFT: Series Two: Featherweight Championship. See you then!

How does a standard wedge get most original?

Sorry Liam, I thought most original meant a classic design such as a box or a wedge

FRFFT: Series Two: Redone!

After many days and weeks, the second series of FRFFT is coming to an end. To finish the series off, we have the Featherweight Final.

So how did they get here?

Sith: In the first round, it pushed Little Hitter into the pit and then did the same to OverDrive in the second round

Deadly Lampshade: Battered Isolation into the pit in the first round and in the second round immobolised Little Flipper 3.

From Wales, Deadly Lampshade!

Entered by Daniel S. The main weapon is the shell, which spins around at very fast speeds. But if its flipped, it has no self-righting mechanism.

From England, Sith!

Entered by Alex H. A wedge with an acutator powered flipper and two lifting arms on the front to catch other robots. The shape also allows Sith to catch robots from the side.

Roboteers, stand by!

3-2-1: Activate!

Sith charges towards Deadly Lampshade, but swerves at the last moment as it approaches with its spinning shell. Sith turns to face it again and OH! Sparks fly and Deadly Lampshade ALMOST flipped over! That was close. It recovers and spins up again, but Sith comes in and OH! Deadly Lampshade on it side! Alex wanted to get rid of Daniel quickly and he has! Sith...well, it seems to have won, but LOOK! The flipper and one of the front lifting arms is slightly buckled! It pushes Deadly Lampshade into the wall! I dont think Alex with come in and flip it back onto its wheels! Refbot comes in. A short fight overall, though.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Sith is the winner of the FRFFT: Series Two Featherweight Competition! Deadly Lampshade comes second, but theres no shame in that. HA-HA! Its spinning around inside its shell, but its all over. Daniel downs his controls. Sith pushes Deadly Lampshade onto the drop zone! The crowd want to see Deadly Lampshade get smashed!
3-2-1!
OH! HA-HA! Another telly CRASHES onto the top of Deadly Lampshade. Sith comes in and FLIPS it back over! Well, it doesnt matter, because Deadly Lampshade has been counted out. Glass and plastic from the telly cover the arena floor. Sith presses the pit release button and Deadly Lampshade...OHH! Almost in, but Sith pushes from behind and DOWN it goes! Well done to both competitors for a short but fantastic fight!

Cease!

Deadly Lampshade in the pit!
Sith is the winner!

And as the award is given to Alex, he and Daniel shake hands. Sportsmanship, and thats what counts here on FRFFT.

So what now, you may ask? I might be starting a real robot tournament soon. Like I said, this series will be the last one I do in a while, but the FRFFT: World Championships will come one day.

In the words of Richie and Eddie:

Thats It: Go Away!

Seriously, thanks for reading and I hope you liked this series!

ermz... I sense a missunderstanding here ELLIOT most original equals most creative, not most classic/least creative

Its kinda ironic to see Blizzard win matches in this tournament but NOT the originality award for a change

apart from that your battles are progressing ELLIOT, nice

Good little tournament there, and your battles are getting better.

Thanks for the SHW win (and the originality award).

Thats the exact same thing I thought with my KFFT tournament back in 2003, when I gave the most original robot award to Wedge 1. Now I know better, obviously.
