Re: Alex's Fourtress - Mini Tourny

woops, forgot my tactics

against Tallit; due to my axlebot genes he will have a hard time controlling me. whereas if I can get a good grip, I can control him, pit!

against Axeon; due to my axlebot genes he will have a hard time aiming for me, whereas if I can get a good grip, I can control him, pit!(but dont forget to stay out of its axe's reach while in control )

against Gabiel; due to my axlebot genes I can drive inverted, whereas if I can get a good grip, I can control him, pit!

best of luck Kody Andy and Mark!

And so€¦ four machines enter the Fourtress, but only one may leave. The draw is decided, and so now there is nought to do but fight. The rules are simple - batteries keep going forever, the fight keeps going and only pitting or immobilisation can end it. No judges decisions, no cheap house robot or arena hazard kills - just two robots.

Fight the First: Under Pressure (Martijn) vs Tallit (Mark)

Activate!
At very similar speeds, both robots are quickly out the starting positions. While Tallit dives straight forward, raising its lifting arm ready to use it as a gripping weapon, Under Pressure curls round its foe to the left side. However, the slightly quicker Israel representing machine hits the right claw of Under Pressure before it can entirely dodge the attack, spinning the pincer robot on its own axis and the second claw round against Tallit€™s side.

Taking advantage of this unintended situation, Martijn begins to close his pincers, although the 5mm titanium skirts of its foe impede this attack. However, it does succeed in warping the positioning of the hinge, actually pushing the whole of the left side of Tallit up onto the edge of its own skirts while the arm at the front actuates harmlessly away from its intended target. Grasping this opportunity, Martijn pushes on with the attack, slamming his opponent forward against a wall.

Fortunately for Mark however, the impact frees him from his skirt-wedged position, freeing him enough to allow him to spin around and get his own weapon into play, and he catches Under Pressure in between the claws with his lifter. However, he only lifts so far before the rounded inner shape causes Martijn to drop back to the floor beneath, and allowing it to pursue its own attack.

This time it is far better angled, and the ensuring grab and charge brings the pair to a corner where wall makes way for pit. There is some rapid tussling between the two, but the leverage Under Pressure has seems to give it the edge, and Tallit finds itself teetering dubiously on the edge, although gradually creeping back up, and slipping as it does so. Under Pressure however backs off to survey the situation beyond coming in for one last shove to send its opponent into the dark below.

UNDER PRESSURE ADVANCES TO THE FINAL!

I was inteding to do all fights today, but have't has as much time as expected, so the two remaing fights will have to wait til I'm back from holiday.
