Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Still need that last place in the Annihilator/World Championships filled

Mark, I think Prayer Shawl is overweight (150kg). Can you try and sort it, please?

More tactics and predictions welcome. I hope to start tonight

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Mark, I've checked your stats and both American Oil and Revenge of the Prayer Shawl are overweight. Can you try and slim them down, please?

Theres still one more spot in the Annihilator, and one more in the World Championships. I need one person to enter a robot into each

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Was actually looking for someone who entered the main tournament, Sam, but you'll do at this time

All spaces are filled. The next thing I need is mail sacks full of tactics and predictions before I can begin

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Well, hoorah!

I'll hand in my tactics closer to my fights, but I'm going to pick Liar 2 and Typhoon 2 to flip and rip their way into the Heat Final.

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Both bots have been slimmed down, although American Oil had its stats checked out by AJ.

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Thanks, Mark, I'll have a look after

I still need more tactics and predictions, guys

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

typhoon: get 'em from the sides, rip him up, immobilize him (co2 tank = jackpot!), job done

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Here it goes then

Welcome to Robot Wars! The house is full tonight as we celebrate the return of some old favourites. Let's get on with the first battle.

BATTLE ONE

From Enschede, in the Netherlands, Liar II!

If there's one thing that's true about this robot, it's the two spikes on the front and the powerful flipper that can hoist a ton. It's invertible, and made from Hardox, but the wheels are exposed.

From Texas, in the USA, Negativity!

Opponents will find the spinning blade on top, made from Hardox quite negative. It's powered by 4 24v Magmotors that give it speeds of up to 18mph. The self-righting mechanism is unreliable, though.

Roboteers, stand by.

B1: Liar II
B2: Negativity
House Robots: Sir Killalot and Dead Metal

3-2-1: Activate!

Negativity spins up to speed, so Liar II will have to be careful, and it is, speeding past that evil looking blade. Negativity turns around to pursue, but Liar II comes back. Is that wise? It gets the end of the flipper under the blade and UP goes Negativity! The blade digs into the arena floor, preventing it from going over, and it crashes down. Liar II spins around, only to be met with the blade which has spun up again. Some sparks fly, but Liar II is OK. It backs away to find another angle of attack. Spinning around now to use those spikes. I don't see what use they will be. OH! The blade struck one of the wheels on Liar II and sent it spinning away. It swings around again as Negativity approaches. Liar II moves forward and gets the flipper under again. It doesn't flip, but pushes Negativity towards the CPZ! Into the wall! A deafening SLAM! Dead Metal comes in. He's got Negativity in his claws and now the saw comes down. Liar II stays well away. Sparks fly off the Hardox that Negativity's blade is made from. Now Dead Metal lets go. Out comes Negativity, whose blade is back up to speed. Liar II spins around again, trying to cause some damage with those spikes. I don't think thats possible. Now it stops spinning and gets under Negativity's 5mm ground clearance again. It flips up and OHH! Negativity on its side! The blade is stopped, so I don't think it will self-right! It dug into the arena floor again, almost taking part of it off! Liar II flips AGAIN! Crumpling onto its top, Negativity! It spins around madly, but they won't recover from that. What an impressive display by Liar II, from Enschede. Refbot comes in to count out Negativity, who continues to spin around in some sort of wierd dance.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
Sir Killalot comes in and gets Negativity in his grasp. Look at that! The titanium is crumpled as Negativity is lifted into the air for all to see. Liar II presses the pit release button. Down it goes as Sir Killalot prepares to do the honours. Down goes Negativity!

Cease!

What a way to start the new series! Negativity is definetly negative!
Liar II goes through to the heat final!

Hope that kept you happy. Tell me if it didn't

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Good fight, Elliot.

Crap... I won't be getting my revenge on Liar 2 yet...

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

A quick note, I'll be going on holiday on Monday and won't be back until the next Monday. Going to Centreparcs in Wiltshire, and so I won't have any internet connections. I'll see how much I can get done in the next few days

Thanks for understanding

[eene]

Welcome back to Robot Wars!

BATTLE TWO

From Oxford, in Oxfordshire, Terrorhurtz!

This is their sixth time on Robot Wars, their weapon being that damaging double headed pneumatic axe that has caused upsets in the past. Its low to the ground and well armoured, but still quite easy to flip and suffers from spasms, apparently.

From Edinburgh, in Scotland, seeded 1 and reigning champion, Typhoon II!

The reigning champions from RAF Edinburgh are back with Typhoon II. They beat a host of robots to win the crown and can they do it a second time? The spinning shell with four steel claws can annihilate anything, but it has no self-righting mechanism and is unstable at low speeds.

Roboteers, stand by!

B1: Terrorhurtz
B2: Typhoon II
House Robots: Mr Psycho and Growler

3-2-1: Activate!

Typhoon II, the reigning champion, is already up to full speed and approaching the underdogs, which are Terrorhurtz, who were once a grand finalist. What Terrorhurtz needs to do is use that axe to disable the shell, which spins madly now, but how can they. OH! Charging head on into Typhoon II and both robots are flung aside. Typhoon keeps spinning, not as fast as before, though. Terrorhurtz, is something hanging off? Superficial, I think, but...AND now something does come off! Typhoon II was completly up to speed by then and TORE one of the skirts on the bottom of Terrorhurtz away! The axe comes in, connecting with the spinning shell and making a shower of sparks. Typhoon II hits again and Terrorhurtz is spun away. Ha ha! The axe fires, making Terrorhurtz jump all over the place. How it will help them here, I don't know! They press the pit release button. Down it goes. Maybe they should drive in, because Typhoon II will certainly do it for them. OOH! Another blow and Terrorhurtz loses another skirt! Typhoon II once again stops spinning and that will give Terrorhurtz a chance. Down comes the axe again, but it cannot penetrate the steel shell of Typhoon II, who pushes back. They are dancing close to the pit. Terrorhurtz gets its front underneath Typhoon II and pushes it into the wall! The reigning champions in trouble, can they escape, yes. Away it goes, but still not spinning, it is, but not at full speed. Crashing into Terrorhurtz again, wobbling as it spins, but coming back on. Towards the CPZ...and Growler comes out. He lunges at Terrorhurtz, who brings the axe onto him! I can see something loose in Terrorhurtz, is it something important. Growler rams it into the wall! Mr Psycho comes in, but Terrorhurtz gets away. The hammer...OOH! Hitting our newly polished arena floor! Terrorhurtz hopping and leaping to safety...but Typhoon II is still not spinning! Hang on, what's happened to Terrorhurtz? The champions stay back, because whilst the Terrorhurtz axe swings to and fro in its comic fashion, the robot itself is not moving. Growler gives it a nudge, but Refbot comes in to count it out. Still trying to crawl away, John Reid and Harry Orr, but not getting too far before being shoved by Growler again!
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
I think that was a very close battle for Typhoon II. The reigning champions, not as destructive as we thought they'd be. Maybe later on, because now Terrorhurtz is being dragged to the floor flipper! AWAY it goes! Crashing to the ground. Ha ha. It self-rights, but that won't do them good now.

Cease!

The reigning champions are back in town!
Typhoon II goes through to the heat final!

So, the heat final

Typhoon II VS Liar II

But first, the first of our featherweight championship melees. Three robots, but only one can go through to the final in the last heat!

More tactics and predictions welcome. Hope you liked the fight

[corsair_lightning]

Re: A special Robot Wars Fan Fiction Anniversary

Tactics:

OID VS TORNADO

I'll use the ramming wedge for this fight.

Basically, charge towards the disc, stop it from moving, press pit release button, shove the vapour down, nuff said.

STARFIGHTER VS Flow VS Skink

I don't believe that Flow is a realie, and as far as I know, it isn't a vapour with stats...

Anyways, go after Skink, get under his vulnerable sides, and flip him OOTA.

Maxus VS Killoteeny VS Xianghua III VS The Unnamed Feeling VS STRIKE VS Voodoo Chile

I would like to ask for a team-up between me, Steven, and Kody. I'll go for Maxus first of all, and I'll try to ram it towards either Killoteeny or Xianghua III. Afterwards, I'll get under Voodoo Chile's rear, and shove it towards Xianghua. If still another bot needs to be eliminated, then I'll suicidally charge towards The Unnamed Feeling, along with Steve and Kody, and try to wreck AJ's hopes.
