I suppose so, Martin. Its a shorter way of saying Which is better: RW or BB?

Meh, its just that if this tournament is supposed to be an honoust battle between RW and BB, its kinda unfair to name the tournament after RW alone

Your fights, they aren improving, but Kody has got a point, especially for the opening fight people should have a chance to read the line-ups and come up with tactics, not a biggie but still a point

[eene]

Robot Wars - Evolution

Kody, I still need your advice on wherever I should wait for Jacks tactics in the next round. Its been almost 24hrs now. Im not trying to be rude, but I was just wondering

[majinb]

Robot Wars - Evolution

24 hours is a reasonable ammount of time, please remember nobody is FORCED to post tactics

[eene]

Robot Wars - Evolution

Kody, I hope you dont think Im being impatient, but I will be doing the battle tonight. Is that OK?

[majinb]

Robot Wars - Evolution

geez ELLIOT, Kody is a good advisor, I honoustly mean that, but its not like hes the only advisor, nor is his word law, I answered your question and you ignored it

Welcome back to Robot Wars: Evolution! Next, its the second Round One battle.

From Kettering, in Northamptonshire, Anarchy!

A box with eight legs, Anarchy is armed with a front axe and a rear flipper. The axe can go through very thin armour, but it is slow at 5mph.

From Bournemouth, in Dorset, Razer!

The winner of Series Five of Robot Wars and two Robot Wars World Championships, Razer is said to be the best designed robot by some. The weapon is a powerful crushing arm which can cause much damage, but it is unreliable.

From Edinburgh in Scotland, Typhoon II!

The current reigning champion of Robot Wars. The weapon is the spinning shell which can take chunks out of other robots. But if flipped, it has no self-righting mechanism!

Roboteers, stand by!

B1: Anarchy, Razer
B2: Typhoon II
House Robots: Matilda and Shunt

3-2-1: Activate!

Typhoon II spins up to full speed, so the others will want to avoid that. Razer heads straight for Anarchy, who turns to use its flipper. Razer gets the claw on the front scoop, but Anarchy fires its axe. Typhoon approaches the pack. OHH! It SMASHED into the side of Anarchy and sparks fly! Theres a gash in the side of Anarchy, and thatll leave the legs exposed! No damage to Razer, who pushes Anarchy towards the CPZ. Typhoon comes in for another hit on RAZER! Razer just let go of Anarchy and got a smack from Typhoon! Razer spun away, but it chases the RAF machine away. Shunts axe comes down on Anarchy, who tries to flip it away. Typhoon is spinning madly out there, and Razer...OUCH! It tried to grab hold of Typhoon but was spun away and the tip of the beak is slightly bent. Razer heads off. Anarchy escapes the CPZ, only for Razer to get under it again. Typhoon CRASHES into the pit release button! Down goes the pit! Razer drags Anarchy away from Shunt again, but in turn, gets hit itself from Shunt. Typhoon is waiting, perhaps for the pair to come over to it, but they wont risk that, I dont think. Razer gets Anarchy go and goes after Typhoon again. Typhoon approaches first and Razer is SPUN almost twice! Into the angle grinder! Anarchy tries to attack Typhoon with its flipper, but Typhoon is way faster and SOMETHING goes flying off! Anarchy looks very battered. Ian Lewis and Jack from Razer look on. I think Razer has been immobolised! Matilda gives it a nudge. Anarchys axe comes down onto Typhoon and OH! It was spun away by the four blades on Typhoon and the scoop has got a gash in it now! Refbot comes over to look at Razer, who hasnt moved. Typhoon II SMASHES into Anarchy from the side! It has caused so much damage, Typhoon. I think Anarchy has been immobolised as well. Razer is being counted out!
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
What a shame. Razer, we know it is unreliable, and this battle, it couldnt take the knocks. Typhoon spins down, because Anthony and Gary know theyve won. Joey tries to fight back, but only the weapons are working and not the legs! What was that in the background! I think it was Matilda pushing Razer into the pit! Refbot goes over to Anarchy.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Shunt hits Anarchy with the axe and lifts it onto its side. No self-righting mechanism on Anarchy, but that doesnt matter.

Cease!

Razer cut down and Anarchy quashed!
Typhoon goes into the next round!

Next up: Will the Surgeon General operate on Voltronic, or will Nightmare put it off? Will Biohazard contaminate Killerhurtz, or will The Madator corral it?

See you then. Hope the battle was OK

Why do you need to wait exclusively for me? There are other people here, ask them and take advice from them too.

But yeah, generally wait at least a few days before tactics, unless theyre all given immediately.

Ill be starting the next fight tommorow, or later today

Robot Wars - Evolution

Last time on Robot Wars, Storm II and Typhoon II breezed into the next round. Who will join them from the Battlebots bracket?

From San Francisco, in California, Biohazard!

A low box with side skirts, Biohazard is the four time and current Battlebots champion. It has a lifting arm that has felled many robots in the past, and its 6WD allows to to push the opposition around. It has no srimech, though.

From Oxford, in Oxfordshire, Killerhurtz!

One of the few British robots in Battlebots, Killerhurtz is armed with a pneumatic axe and a front ram. It has car style steering, which gives it good manouvrability, but the armour is thin and it is unreliable.

From San Francisco, in California, The Matador!

The Matador is one of Battlebots most powerful flippers. It can throw robots many feet into the air, but the wheels are exposed.

Roboteers, stand by!

B1: Biohazard, Killerhurtz
B2: The Matador
House Robots: Mr Psycho and Growler

3-2-1: Activate!

Killerhurtz is the fastest and heads toward Biohazard, who turns to get the lifting arm under it. The axe comes down, but it has no effect on Biohazard who topples Killerhurtz over! Killerhurtz self-rights and goes after the champion. The Madator tries to flip Biohazard over, but the skirts stop it from doing so. The axe of Killerhurtz swings onto the top of The Madator, making some scratches but nothing else. Biohazard presses the pit release button. OH! Killerhurtz was thrown across the arena by The Madator! It lands upside down, but it self-rights, Killerhurtz. Biohazard turns to face The Matador and gets under the side! The Matador fires its flipper and gets free, only for Killerhurtz to strike it again with the axe. Biohazard turns and gets under Killerhurtz, lifting it up and pushing it towards the pit! OH! And down it goes, Killerhurtz! In a puff of smoke. It fires the axe madly, but it isnt going to get away, Im afraid! The Matador slides on top of Biohazard, who misses a chance to flip it over! Jack turns Biohazard around, but The Matador flips at the sides. One of the skirts is raised! Is it stuck there? Maybe. The Matador tries to get under it, but Biohazard gets under it first and pushes it into Growlers CPZ! Out Growler comes and he grabs hold of the rear of The Matador, pushing it into Biohazard! OHH! The Matador got a flip in under the raised skirts and Biohazard almost went over! The Matador free, but it is pursuing Biohazard. Now Biohazard turns around to face The Matador. It scoops under The Matadors high ground clearance and flips it over! The Matador self-rights, but Biohazard is waiting and lifts it up. Pushing it into an empty CPZ! The Matador turns to push Biohazard away just as Mr Psycho comes in! OUCH! The hammer came down and hit The Madator on the back. The last ten seconds count down. Biohazard lifts The Matador up, but it crashes down and tries to get under the skirt, even though it has come back down. Biohazard turns and The Madator rides over the top of it. A close fight here.

Cease!

Killerhurtz got killed off by Biohazard, so that leaves the judges to decide the winner!

The Matador: S: 2 C: 2 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 8

Biohazard: S: 2 C: 3 D: 1 A: 3 Total: 9

Biohazard goes into the next round. Well done to Jack! But coming up next: The last round one fight between Nightmare, the Surgeon General and Voltronic.

Hope you liked it, but I guess you didnt because its too early (Just wondering)

[kodster]

Robot Wars - Evolution

The Matador had wheel guards in Season 5, but it didnt really matter in this fight. You got the details fine, though.

Next fight tommorow or later, guys

Robot Wars - Evolution

So far through to Round Two, we have Storm II, Typhoon II and Biohazard. Next, the last Round One battle.

From San Francisco, in California, Nightmare!

This robot has taken chunks out of its opponents in Battlebots with its spinning disc. The wheels are exposed and it has no scrimech, though.

From Miami, in Florida, Surgeon General!

Once a Battlebots quarterfinalist, the Surgeon General is armed with a large spinning disc that has obliterated other robots in the past. Its invertible, but it is unreliable.

From San Francisco, in California, Voltronic.

Battlebots current runner up, Voltronic is an invertible wedge with a lifting arm powered by a wheelchair actuator. The robot has been runner up many times before, so no limit of success, but it is slow and the wheels are exposed.

Roboteers, stand by!

B1: Nightmare, Surgeon General
B2: Voltronic
House Robots: Shunt and Matilda

3-2-1: Activate!

Surgeon General heads immedietly for Nightmare, who turns to face Voltronic. Surgeon General turns away to get at Voltronic, who is the slowest of the group. OH! Sparks fly and Voltronic is spun away. Stevens tactics were to get under the side of Surgeon General, but he isnt having much luck at the moment. Nightmare strikes the back of Voltronic, only to be hit by Surgeon General itself. Something came flying off! What was that? The camera will...OH! Show us, but its a part of the armour of Nightmare! Voltronic turns to get under Surgeon General and tries to lift it over, but Nighitmare strikes the back and knocks Surgeon General off Voltronics lifter. Voltronic tries to chase after Suregon General, but Nightmare strikes it again. Voltronic almost flipped over by the disc! Surgeon General turns around to face Nightmare and hits it on the side again! What was that that came off now!? Voltronic is staying out of trouble but Surgeon General hits it again. Voltronic has had a terrible time of it in this fight, but it comes back anyway. And NOW we can see what came off Nightmare. It was part of the wheel! The rubber tyre has been split off! Daniel looks very concerned. Voltronic turns around to get under the crippled Nightmare. Surgeon General presses the pit release button, tearing it off the wall! Nightmare can only move in circles, but Voltronic lifts it over and onto its side! The disc takes a massive BITE out of the arena floor, but Nightmare has no self-righting mechanism. Refbot comes in as Matilda stays out of view, ready to come in.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Voltronic tries to get around the side of Surgeon General, but Surgeon General is too quick and hits Voltronic on the side! Voltronic spun away near the angle grinder. The lifting arm is still working, but only one drive is! OHH! Matilda hit Nightmare with her flywheel and the disc is buckled! Shunt comes in and he pushes Nightmare onto the drop zone! Surgeon General hits Voltronic on the side again. Theres an oven on the drop zone and the crowd want it to fall on Voltronic.
3-2-1!
Down it comes. And it CRUSHES Nightmares frame. One of the wheel supports is bent. Voltronic, I think, will last to the judges decision. Kody celebrates, he and the Surgeon General team have done enough to get through.

Cease!

Nightmare gets totalled! Voltronic and Surgeon General go to the judges.

Voltronic: S: 2 C: 1 D: 1 A: 2 Total: 6

Surgeon General: S: 3 C: 2 D: 3 A: 3 Total: 11

Surgeon General goes into the next round!

But before Round Two, a special event. This is made from robots I myself have picked, so just predict. Aside from British and American robots, we have six robots in the pits from six different countries who want to take something home to show their people. They are

Tornado (UK) VS Gravity (Neth) VS Hard (Belg) VS Manta (USA) VS Ansgar III (Ger) VS Crushtacean (S Afr)

I hope you liked this fight as much as I liked typing it

See you later
