Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!
From Wesbich in Cambridgeshire, Iron Awe 6!
Iron Awe is one heck of a monster, having won the title of Winter Tour champion at Roaming Robots in 2008. It has a very monstrous flipper that will clear an arena full of robots in no time at all, but as always with flippers, the CO2 supply is limited and the ground clearence is also somewhat high on the back as well.
From Shrewsbury in Shropshire and seeded #16, Wedga Triton!
Wedga has returned after getting pummelled into submission by Aftershock in the Heat Final last year, with an improved flipper running on CO2, tougher armour, and a nastier attitude. However, as with all flippers, there is a limited gas supply. Can this machine go all the way this year? We'll soon find out!
From Wales, Volde!
Here we have a Welsh machine, with three weapons, an axe and a lifting plate on the front, and a pair of lovely grabbing arms at the sides. It's pretty much Splinter gone on steroids, go figure. The idea is to grab an opponent in the grabbing arms, fire the axe, and then left the opponent up to push it to wherever it wants. However, none of these weapons can REALLY damage an opponent.
Roboteers, Stand by...
There's AJ and Jack at the controls of Wedga Triton and Iron Awe in the first control booth, and a very focused Liam Eliot on the controls of Volde in the other booth... and your house robots for this battle will be Sgt. Bash with the pincers and the flambe action, and also the big daddy himself, King Arthur, opening up its maw with a loud mechanical roar.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Bang a gong, we are on, and all the robots just gunning for each other like maniacs. We saw Volde already being flipped over by Wedga, but it easily rights itself, and Volde is now attacking Iron Awe, and clamping and lifting it up! It carries Iron Awe towards the arena saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly as Iron Awe's armour comes into contact with the razor sharp saw blades! Iron Awe is up and running in no time, as it scurries away from Volde and goes for the side! Iron Awe flips Volde over on its back, and carries it to the wall!
FLIP!!!
The flip sends Volde flying indeed, but not out of it just yet! Volde self-rights and guns for Wedga. Now, it gets underneath Wedga's side somehow, and clamps it hard using all three weapons! Wedga is being carried over to the saws! BZZZT! Sparks fly again and all three bots showing good aggression early on here. Wedga gets under Volde's side, and slams it into the CPZ of Sgt. Bash! Volde is now in trouble, as Sgt. Bash is going to make it pay for invading its personal space! Sgt. Bash clamps Volde's side, and a flick of flame comes out from its flamethrower and Volde gets roasted! Sgt. Bash releases Volde, and it gets away now. Volde trying to put up a good fight here, as it clamps the rear of Iron Awe, and lifts it! Iron Awe tries to get away but it's carried toward the CPZ of Sgt Bash who is ready with its pincers! Wedga plays the brave fool, and crashes into Volde to save Iron Awe!
FLIP!!!
That sends both Iron Awe and Volde onto their backs, and both of them self-rights! Iron Awe presses the pit button, and the pit goes down with a deafening siren. Wedga flips Volde, but it self rights immediately. Now, Volde is away, and it slams into Wedga! Now it clamps the 16th seeds and drags it towards the pit... but Wedga refuses to take no for an answer and gets away! Wedga flips over Volde but again, it self rights immediately. Good defense there by Volde, and now in comes Iron Awe, flipping over the Welsh machine!
FLIP!!!
Iron Awe just tosses Volde high up in the air, and Volde comes down with a huge crash! I must say, that was a huge flip, and Volde is okay, nothing is severely damaged. Wedga now tries to get under the side of Volde, and it gets away, turns and gets underneath the 16th seed's side! Now, it feeds the machine from Shropshire right into King Arthur's flywheel!
CRASH!!!
OH, that hit is MONUMENTAL, as it just tossed Wedga onto its back with massive force! Wedga is still up and running, as it self rights. Now, the Shropshire machine is unscathed and now, AJ looks as if he's had enough of this! Wedga and finally gets undeneath the side of Volde! The Welsh machine is now in real trouble here, as it gets carried towards the wall, and VOLDE IS OUT OF THERE! A fantastic job done by Wedga-- uh oh, it's not done yet! Now Wedga is taking on the house robots, and zooms into the CPZ of Sgt. Bash!
FLIP!!!
Sgt. Bash is on its back and Refbot gives Wedga a yellow card! AJ does not like that one bit, and he drives Wedga into the Refbot and chucks it into the pit! Jack and Liam are dying with laughter! Ah man, now I've seen everything!
CEASE!
Volde (and the Refbot
) has been vanquished.
Wedga Triton (16) and Iron Awe goes through to Round 2!
----------------------------------------
Sam: Welcome to the second battle, where three robots enter the war zone. They can run, but they can't hide!
(BATTLE 2!!!)
From Pontefract in Yorkshire, Eye of Ran 2!
Eye of Ran is a new machine but none less dangerous at all! This robot has a very deadly 30kg, 2500RPM spinning blade, and also has a very good traction along the arena floor due to the wide wheels. However, Joey is known for his weird weaknesses. His weakness this time around is... Spacesavers? However, the real weakness is the fact that there's petrol on board the machine, even though it's got protection.
From Bedford, Roo of all Evil!
Roo of all Evil is another newbie to the warzone, and it has a spinning ring powered by a S28-400, made of 8mm titanium and spinning at 1470RPM. This spinner can put out 57kJ, which is much more than enough to rip panels off and send robots spinning away. It also has 9mm titanium armour which is not very bad at all, but exposed wheels are the issues as with all invertible robots... but again, you got to get past the ring first! :shock:
From Redditch in Worcestershire, Pussycat!
This ain't your average cat! The former runner-up of Robot Wars is back as ever, with a double bladed saw on the front. It never has to worry about self-righting because it's invertible and it always lands on its feet. However, the wheels are highly vulnerable to get ripped off, and there ARE two spinners in this fight already...
Roboteers, Stand By...
Joey McConnell is in the first booth at the controls of Eye of Ran along with Matt Fowler who drives Roo of all Evil, and Pussycat is being driven by Steve McGregor in the second booth. As for the house robots, Shunt is in the arena, dancing in circles and sporting that lovely axe. Also in the arena is Head Smash, with its amazing hammer!
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Refbot is hoping not to humiliate himself like he did in the previous battle. He gives the green light, and off we go! Both robots already spinning up its weapons, and all you hear in the arena is the revving of the weapon motor! They're going for it now! With perfect synchronization, Roo of all Evil and Pussycat are gunning for each other, weapon first!
CRASH!!!!!!
OMG! That hit is MONUMENTAL! It's only the first hit, and massive amounts of sparks are being spewed out from the impact-- OH! I think something flew off from Pussycat and I think it was the weapon! Let's have a look at it again. After the bots went CRASHING into each other, THERE you can see the blade flying off from the machine! The former grand finallist of Robot Wars is weaponless already after A SINGLE HIT! Oh dear. Now, Eye of Ran stayed out of trouble, but now it just crashes into the catbot with massive force. Pussycat tries getting away... too late.
CRASH!!!
The attack spins Pussycat away to Head Smash's CPZ, as well as ripping a wheel off! This does not look good at all for the catbot here. It's only thirty seconds into the fight, and it's already being turned into a repeat of Sylvester being beaten up by a pack of dogs in Looney Tunes, to be honest.
Head Smash's hammer tries to slam Pussycat, but hits nothing but the floor! Pussycat gets away after a close call, but Roo of all Evil barges in and tackles Pussycat's side!
CRASH!!!!
What a hit, and there goes another wheel! It also sends the former Robot Wars runner-up spinning across the arena and crashing into the wall, and the two spinners are just ganging up like a pack of dogs against poor Pussycat! It's got two wheels on its wagon and nowhere to go but in circles, and Eye of Ran spins up! Eye of Ran now slams into the side of Pussycat...
CRASH!!!!
Sparks fly, and there's another wheel gone off of Pussycat... oh my goodness. It's getting almost too gruesome to watch here, and now, in comes Eye of Ran again, spinning its bar up to full speed!
CRASH!!!!
OH MY GOD! Sparks are flying and the armour has a deep gash in it due to Eye of Ran's vicious attack. Pussycat is going nowhere fast, and Roo now comes in for a frontal attack on the machine from Redditch!
CRASH!!!
Crushed. That's all I can say. Roo just knocks Pussycat away into the CPZ of Matilda, which is just about to slam into it with her pink arse!
CRASH!
Yup, and there goes the last wheel, smacked away by Matilda, and out of the arena it goes, right into the camera. Ugh.
Right, so Pussycat has been toyed with long enough, and looks like Refbot is just about to count it out. Oh dear...
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
Pussycat is out of there, and smoke is starting to come out of the machine. All the house robots are coming out of their CPZ, and they toy with it some more. Now, Head Smash fires the hammer on Pussycat, and makes a HUGE dent in the armour! Now, Shunt fires his mighty axe on Pussycat, and drags the catbot... onto the DROP ZONE?! Oh how cruel! That is just asking for more destruction; house robots, please have MERCY on the fellow roboteers! Well, I tell you, Pussycat has been so good on Robot Wars, reaching the grand final in the 4th series, but now, a deep freezer is about to go tumbling down on it! The audience starts the countdown; Joey and Matt join in!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... CRASH!!!!!
The deep freezer just crashes down upon Pussycat, and now Eye of Ran shoves Pussycat's remains onto the pit and Roo of all Evil presses the pit button... and Pussycat slowly... goes... down. BOOM! Pussycat is out of there, but Eye of Ran spins up again! The blade slams into Shunt's side! Shunt tries to get away, but...
CRASH!!!
CEASE!
As Tweety would say: I tawt I taw a Pussycat go down the pit.
Eye of Ran 2 and Roo of all Evil go through to Round 2!!!
