Heretic VS Rolling Pin FTW VS Overdrive

Tactics for that if anyone wants to

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

STARFIGHTER VS Flow VS Skink
Okay, now that Flow is really scary. However, it has a major flaw, being that it will flip itself over when it fires the flipper. Get onto Flow's flipper, then, at the last second, drive off so he flips himself over. When he does, get underneath him and run towards the wall at high speed. If I can't make it before he self-rights, flip him anyways, however if I can make it to the wall before he tries to self-right, then I'll fire the flipper and get him OOTA.

FEATHERWEIGHTS
ELIMINATORS
Heretic VS OverDrive VS ROLLING PIN F.T.W.

Ouch, nasty draw here. Focus on Heretic, trying to disable or break the spinning blade and batter the bot into submission. For OverDrive, attempt to outmanouevre and bludgeon its side with the drum till it dies.

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Wait... Elliot, are we supposed to defeat both of our opponents in the featherweight melees?

[kodster]

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Otherweights? Eh, if you insist.

Rolling Pin FTW vs. Heretic vs. Overdrive

Horizontal vs vertical, heh. I'll basically attack every inch of Rolling Pin FTW I can. Drum, wheels, all. Dodge OverDrive's assaults and focus on killing it after Rolling Pin FTW is out.

Middleweight Melee

Xianghua III - Cha cha cha...toh! ...I mean, flip stuff.

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Before we continue with the heat, we have the first of our Featherweight Melees. Only one can go through to the final later on.

FEATHERWEIGHT MELEE

From Toronto, in Canada, Heretic!

A fitting name for a vicious looking robot, the main weapon is a spinning blade. It's made from titanium, but the wheels are exposed and it is light.

From South Kestevan, in Lincolnshire, Overdrive!

A box wedge with four wheels, certainly enough to bulldoze past the opposition with its four drill motors. Invertible, but when flipped, the wedge becomes useless.

From Glasgow, in Scotland, Rolling Pin FTW!

Look what comes out of the kitchen drawer today. A rolling pin covered in sharp blades and spinning at 2000rpm. It has limited pushing power though.

Roboteers, stand by!

B1: Heretic, Overdrive
B2: Rolling Pin FTW
House Robots: Sir Killalot and Shunt

3-2-1: Activate!

This should be interesting. I like the look of Heretic's weapon. Rolling Pin FTW similar, but vertical. Overdrive sweeps straight under Heretic, getting clipped by the blade. Rolling Pin FTW comes in, only to recieve a hit from Heretic for its troubles. Backing away, and in comes Overdrive once again to push the oddly shaped robot onto the flame pit. In comes Heretic. OH! And something comes flying off Rolling Pin FTW. Was it one of those handles on the wheels? Probably. Overdrive charges into both robots, slamming Heretic into the wall! Heretic recovers, as does Rolling Pin FTW, which presses the pit release button. Down it goes, and almost with Overdrive, who dodges just in time! Rolling Pin FTW crashes into the front of Overdrive and is swept aside. Heretic comes in with the blade. They connect and part of the blade is BENT! Upwards, so that is useless! Heretic taking damage from Rolling Pin FTW. Only 12kg and under, these robots. Overdrive turns, facing Heretic, and rams into the side. Sparks fly from the blade's one remaining side. OOH! Rolling Pin FTW bashed into Overdrive there! Overdrive spins around to face Heretic again, getting under and pushing it towards the angle grinder! Heretic rebounds off, and heads to the centre of the arena. Rolling Pin FTW gets another blow, knocking Heretic to one side and...ha ha! Losing the other handle as well! Overdrive, look at that, comes cruising in again and knocking both aside. Heretic turns to get the blade into play again, clipping the front wedge of Overdrive, but doing little more as it pushes it into Rolling Pin FTW! The impact sends both robots flying away! Heretic's blade spins, but the robot is static. Rolling Pin gives it a nudge, the drum taking a piece of titanium off! Overdrive crashes into the pair again! This must be their tactic, to cause damage by pushing the two into each other. Heretic isn't moving anymore, I'm sure now. Rolling Pin FTW escapes Overdrive's grasp once again as Refbot comes in to count out Heretic.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
What a shame. I liked Heretic, but the blows from Rolling Pin FTW and Overdrive must have been too much. Shunt comes in and bulldozes Heretic onto the drop zone! What's up there? An oven! Rolling Pin FTW comes in to add more injury to the battered Heretic as the crowd count down!
3-2-1!
Down it comes. OOH! It crumples Heretic! One of the spikes on the bottom came off! Rolling Pin FTW just got out of the way, only for Overdrive to shove it into Sir Killalot! That wasn't wise. The Scottish robot tries to escape, but Killalot is on its tail! The last ten seconds count down. Shunt pushes Heretic into the pit. The end for them. I like Overdrive. Pushing Rolling Pin FTW one more time to a judge's decision.

Cease!

What a right royal rumble. Heretic is definetly out. The other two will go the judges, who vote the winner on Style, Control, Damage and Aggression.

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

Rolling Pin FTW: S: 2 C: 2 D: 2 A: 2 Total: 8

Very close, but the judges have gone for Overdrive!

Join us for the heat final afterwards

Liar II VS Typhoon II

See you then

After my holidays, perhaps

I suppose when I get back, the mailbox will be filled with angry letters

[steven_mcg]

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Bleh, at least I whooped Heretic. :P

This is a surprisingly tricky fight to call. Typhoon 2 can't self-right, but Liar 2 has those exposed wheels...

What the hey. I'll call Typhoon 2 to prove too nimble and set Liar's pants on fire.

[team_orr]

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Typhoon: go for the wheels, avoid the flipper like there is no tomorrow and generally make a mess of the opponent

good luck mate

[kodster]

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Bleh. That's what I get for not giving my bot the 1.6kg extra it needed. :P

[eene]

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

I'm back from holiday!

Expect more soon

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Annihilator:

American Oil vs CrOoKeD eVo vs Super Gore Septua vs OID vs Traffic Warden vs Theseus

Sam? Kody? How about we destroy that wreck of a bot known as CrOoKeD eVo?

My strategy: American Oil actually stands a chance of surviving this if only for the fact that OID and CrOoKeD eVo are here. Get underneath the front of Crooked(It has 2mm ground clearance at the front, so its flipper doesn't touch the ground ) and flip it upside-down. Then use my tracks to send it to Super Gore so it gets crushed. If by some means Crooked escapes Super Gore's crushing jaws, then flip it and send it to Theseus so we can both launch it OOTA. If anything, we can let Steve go to town on OID and prevent him from showing up for the next fight.

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary
