ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

Great fights Sam

Against Gehenna I'll aim to get it over with ASAP. Be aggressive, and go for the clamp and pit as quickly as I can. The spinning blade doesn't bother me too much, and the flipper isn't overly potent either, but if I get the chance I wouldn't mind disabling it by hitting the rams with my axe when the flipper is open, but that's not a priority. The main tactic is just ram Gehenna around as much as possible, get plenty of hits with the axe to cause maximum damage and try to get it down the pit without putting myself in danger of going down.

Good luck Andy

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

I'll say Lewis to win here via pitting.

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

Gehenna vs. V For Vendetta

I'll have a go at getting the armour with my spinning bar. If I can hit it, I could probably cause some damage there. If not, then I'll try to cause damage to the chassis instead. The skirts are another target. If I can weaken or remove those, it means I can get under more easily with the wedge and flipper. I'll try and use V For Vendetta's speed to my own advantage. This is going to be a difficult match so I'll see if I can get to a judges decision and try and win based on damage caused.

Good luck, Lewis.

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

Justine: Right Andy, you€™re up against Vendetta. Can you beat it?
AJ: Well, I don€™t really know if I could, because he€™s got the better pushing power.
Justine: Right, so tactics?
AJ: It really matters on who gets underneath, so I€™ll use the spinner and flipper as much as possible. Avoid the front like the plague, and since I came 6th last year, I think I€™ve got a good chance, but it€™s not going to be easy, that€™s for sure.
Justine: All right, best of luck.
AJ: Thank you.

Justine: So, Lewis, all fixed?
Lewis: Yeah, the axe head is nice and sharpened, and it€™s all good.
Justine: That€™s great. Now you are up against Gehenna, tactics?
Lewis: Well, if I can get underneath Gehenna before it does to me, then I could get under it, and just pit the damn thing, but it won€™t be easy.
Justine: All right, good luck.
Lewis: Thank you.

(In the commentary booth)

Dan: Well, it€™s been one heck of a heat tonight, and now here we are, at the heat final. Quite a good line-up for the heat final; we€™ve got the 5th seeds, Gehenna, and the newbie, V for Vendetta. Vendetta has got the axe, and the great pushing power. However, Gehenna did come 6th last year, and it€™s much improved. So it could really go either way, but let€™s see what happens!

* * *

Sam: So, two robots duke it out, but the only thing that will separate them will be pure destruction and determination! So, LET THE HEAT FINAL BEGIN!!!!!

(HEAT FINAL!!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please Welcome€¦

GEHENNA!!!

V FOR VENDETTA!!!

Roboteers, Stand By€¦

AJ is on the controls of Gehenna in the first control booth, and Lewis Matthews is focused on the controls of Vendetta in the other pod. The house robots that will tear the robots apart will be Head Smash and Matilda.

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

This is to determine who goes into our Series Semi€™s, and already, Gehenna is in trouble, axed and pushed around by Vendetta and straight into the arena saws it goes! A shower of sparks there as Gehenna€™s Titanium/Vanadium armour comes into contact with the saws and now, the unscathed Gehenna spins the rear weapon up to full speed. Vendetta pushes the pit button, and Gehenna€™s rear spinner crashes into it without notice!
CRASH!!!
The bar causes immense flurries of sparks, as both bots spin away from each other! Vendetta€™s skirt is bent very slightly, but the hinge is undamaged, thankfully. Now, Lewis is even more annoyed, so he gets underneath Gehenna€™s side, brings the axe down and pushes it into Matilda!
CRASH!!!
Sparks fly, as Gehenna gets absolutely tossed by the deadly pink arse of Matilda, and Gehenna self-rights using the flipper! Now, Gehenna is seemingly oblivious to Matilda€™s attack, and gets under the skirts of Vendetta somehow! Now, it carries Vendetta towards the wall, and flips it! Vendetta is in real trouble here€¦
FLIP!!
€¦will it go out€¦ NO! It comes back with a thump back into the arena, and for a minute, I thought Vendetta was going to go out! Vendetta self rights with the axe, and fights back! Gehenna is being carried towards the pit by Vendetta, but it JUST escapes as well by the skin of its teeth! Goodness, what a great battle this is, lots of action here. Gehenna, now comes in for the kill with the blade on Vendetta!
CRASH!!!
Plenty of aggression and lots of sparks flying here! Vendetta gets spun away by Gehenna once again, and a piece of the skirt is ripped off, but again, the hinge is okay. Vendetta isn€™t done yet, though! It rams Gehenna, and drags it towards the pit once again, BUT Gehenna escapes for the second time in a row, and Gehenna has had enough of this, it looks like! Now, it gets underneath the side of Vendetta and drags it towards the wall again! It fires the flipper€¦ Vendetta can€™t get away!
FLIP!
€¦and it€™s teetering on the edge of oblivion here, and Gehenna comes in for the final flip, and down it goes! Gehenna has won the heat, and now it€™s taking on the Refbot here! Refbot tries to get away€¦
FLIP!
Too late. Refbot has been flipped onto its side, and now, Gehenna drags it towards the pit! BOOM! Down it goes! AJ and Lewis are laughing in the control pods at the Refbot being humiliated!

CEASE!

V for Vendetta was shot and killed.
Gehenna goes through to the Series Semi-Finals!!!

Heat D
Wedge Devo VS Armoured Wedgie 2.0 VS Bandwagon 3

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

lol :P

Uh yeah, I stand by my earlier predictions. Bandwagon to get tossed over the fence, and Splinter to, well...get splintered, I guess.

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

ugh, Kody you had to predict I would win didn't you

Nah, great fight Sam and well done to Andy

V for Vendetta will return... :twisted:

[corsair_lightning]

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

Team up with Wedge Devo, get under Armoured Wedgie 2.0 and either flip it OOTA or send it into the arena hazards/house robots.

In general: Flip Armoured Wedgie.

[kodster]

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

ugh, Kody you had to predict I would win didn't you

Nah, great fight Sam and well done to Andy

V for Vendetta will return... :twisted:

Hey, I shot the sheriff but at least I didn't get the deputy. :wink:

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

Ok you lot, here it is.

Sam Park: The carnage is on, so LET THE WAAAAARRRRS BEGIN!!!!

(BATTLE 1!!!)

From Glasgow, Scotland, Wedge Devolution!

Wedge Devo has returned, looking to score big and to flip robots with the same flipper with plenty of strong flips which can chuck opponents into the mesosphere! 4mm Hardox is the armour, which is quite strong. However, no matter how many flips it has, it will run out, so it€™s got to be careful.

From England, Armoured Wedgie 2.0!

Armoured Wedge is another new robot to the sport, but do NOT be fooled! It€™s got a very big forward hinged flipper which can flip opponents easily; top that with tough armour, and good pushing power. Quite possibly, this is the opponent to beat here.

From Texas in the USA, Bandwagon 3!

Bandwagon is a new robot made by Mark Elam, driven by 24v S28-400 motors, with a very nasty rear hinged flipper on board that is powered by 2 Co2 tanks. The armour is tough as well, and it€™s a good all-rounder, but it€™s made by a novice€¦ does that make a difference?

Roboteers, stand by€¦

In booth 1, there is Steve and Lewis at the controls of Wedge Devo and Armoured Wedgie respectively, and in the second booth, there is Mark Elam standing alone at the controls of Bandwagon. There is also Shunt in the 1st CPZ, with the axe and the lifting scoop, and Mangled Metal in the other corner with the spinning ring of DEATH.

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!

The battle has begun, and Wedge Devo is the first to move, but Bandwagon immediately moves towards Armoured Wedgie, and gets underneath!
FLIP!
The flip sends Armoured Wedgie flying, and it comes down with a thud! Armoured Wedgie self-rights, and fights back by getting underneath the side skirts of Bandwagon somehow and flipping it into the pit button! Now, the pit opens, and Bandwagon immediately self-rights at once! Wedge Devo joins the fun and gets underneath Armoured Wedgie, and now it carries the Wedgie into the spinner of Mangled Metal!
CRASH!!!
The spinner slams Armoured Wedgie with great amount of force, and Lewis€™s machine is sent spinning away, there! A dent can be seen in the armour, and now, Wedge Devo has even more fun with Armoured Wedgie, but it turns and gets underneath Wedge Devo and slams it into Mangled Metal!
CRASH!!!
One of the skirts is ripped off completely, and lying on the arena floor, but Bandwagon tries to avenge Wedge Devo by slamming into Armoured Wedgie and carrying it to the wall! Can Bandwagon do it€¦
FLIP!
YES! Armoured Wedgie is out of there, and a fantastic performance by Bandwagon, I must say! All over in less than 45 seconds!

CEASE!

Armoured Wedgie gets yanked right in the€¦ well, you get the idea.
Wedge Devo and Bandwagon goes through to Round 2!

****

Sam: Welcome back. We€™re about to start the second battle of the night, with three more victims!

(BATTLE 2!!!)

From Hoogvilet in Holland, Splinter!

Splinter? Isn€™t that the name of the robot that got trashed by Hypno-Disc in the 4th Wars? However, it€™s much improved, with a new axe and grabbing arms, but it€™s still got somewhat weak armour, so it could get ugly again here, now that there are TWO spinners on steroids. :P

From Escondio, California, Megabyte!

Noted for winning the 2003 RFL championship, Megabyte is a very good robot with an outer shell that spins madly, hoping to cause damage to the max. However, it€™s got a very slow self-righting mechanism. Good robot, though.

From Shrewsbury in Shropshire, and the Number 7 seeds, The Final Cut!

Here we have lucky number 7, The Final Cut, with tracks instead of wheels, a HUGE spinning flywheel, and built by Andrew Jackson. It€™s very sturdy and destructive, but still tracks are exposed from the top, so 7 might not really be the lucky number for this robot.

Roboteers, Stand by€¦

There is Leo Van Miert and Tracy Farber in the first booth on the controls of Splinter and Megabyte, and Andrew Jackson looks focused there on the controls of Final Cut in the second booth. The house robots in this fight are noted for their huge hammers, yup, it€™s Head Smash and Mr. Psycho!

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!!!

Off we go with the second battle of the night, and already, the two spinners spin up to speed. Splinter€¦ doesn€™t know what to do. Megabyte comes in onto the side of Splinter, carefully avoiding the front scoop!
CRASH!!!
Splinter is spun away, and the grabbing arm on one side is totally bent! A part of the armour is ripped away, as well! Now, it tries to retaliate and chases after Megabyte! Now, Megabyte immediately gets away, and up to speed again! The Final Cut now comes in on Splinter€™s side!
CRASH!!!
The other side is totally crunched, and pieces of armour go flying out of control and Splinter is running in circles, Megabyte now comes in with the spinner, and it slams itself into Splinter€™s side again!
CRASH!!!
How about that for a hit! The right side panel of Splinter is just hanging on by a thread, and I cannot believe that it€™s still mobile€¦ well, only just. Splinter made the series semi€™s in Robot Wars Series 4, only to get absolutely mangled in the 4th Round by Hypno-Disc, and it looks as though it€™s going to happen yet again! The Final Cut spins up now€¦
CRASH!!!!
... and it has now ripped open one side of Splinter completely, exposing the mechanics! Leo puts the controls down, I think he€™s given up already! The Final Cut slams into the side again for the final blow!
CRASH!!!
The flywheel of The Final Cut spins Splinter away, and out comes some internal parts! Dear oh dear. Refbot comes in for the final countdown!
1€¦ 2€¦ 3€¦ 4€¦ 5€¦ 6€¦ 7€¦ 8€¦ 9€¦ 10!!!
Splinter is out of there! In come the house robots, and now, Head Smash and Mr. Psycho both come in with the hammer!
CRASH!!!
OH!! The armour takes more severe punishments, and now, Head Smash pushes the pit button, and Mr Psycho grabs Splinter! Now, it drags the remains of Splinter€”look at that€”and now, it drops Splinter into the pit! BOOM!

CEASE!

That wasn€™t even a battle.
Megabyte and The Final Cut goes through to Round 2!

Round 2 Battles
Wedge Devo VS Megabyte
Bandwagon VS The Final Cut (7)

[samuel3764]

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

I apologize for the lack of battles recently, I am currently packed with schoolwork, and I have been busier than ever before. HOWEVER, the good news is that I've wrote some battles. So tactics and predictions are always welcome. The battles will be up as soon as possible. Again, the round 2 battles are as follows.

Wedge Devo VS Megabyte
Bandwagon VS The Final Cut (7)

[kodster]

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

How did I miss this? :blush:

Wedge Devo to flip the uber-spinner out.
Bandwagon to enter the scrap wagon.

[death robotics]

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

Hey guys Mark sent me his tactics so i'll give em to ya

My plan will be to try a head-on collision with his disc. My robot will probably survive a hit from his disc due to the Armox armor, but he'll be suffering quite a bit of damage. Simply, get under him and flip him OOTA as fast as possible.

[samuel3764]

Re: ROBOBASH SERIES 2!!!!

Wedge Devo VS Megabyte

Roboteers, Stand By...

There's Steve McGregor in the first control booth on the controls of Wedge Devo, and Tracy Farber on Megabyte's controls in the other booth. The house robots who will be controlling the fight is Matilda with the flywheel of doom, and Lancelot with the pincers and tracks.

3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!

Refbot gives the green light, and immediately, look at this! Wedge Devo gets under the ground clearence of Megabyte before it gets up to speed, and flips it up in the air, and Megabyte comes down with a huge thud back on its wheels! Now, Megabyte gets a chance to spin up, and it crashes into the side of Wedge Devo without notice!
CRASH!!!
The side skirts are bent slightly, and sparks fly! The audience loves those sparks, and Wedge Devo turns on Megabyte, and flips it onto its back! Now, Megabyte is in trouble here already, it's trying to self-right, but it can't really seem to do so, because it has got no REAL srimech. Wedge Devo now slams into Megabyte and pushes it into Lancelot's pincers with its pushing power! Now, Lancelot comes in, and grabs hold of Megabyte! Megabyte is being dragged towards the saws! BZZZZT! Megabyte just gets ground up by the saws there, and now, Wedge Devo slams into the 2003 RFL champion that is Megabyte, carries it to the wall, and fires the flipper!
FLIP!
Just not high enough, and Megabyte bounces off the wall and comes back into the arena! Wedge Devo presses the pit button but now in comes Megabyte with a slam on the side!
CRASH!!!
The skirt that was previously bent is now completely ripped off! Wedge Devo does not like that one bit and it gets underneath Megabyte again and flips it over onto its back! Megabyte begins to spin frantically, and Tracy up in the booth looks focused, but Wedge Devo just slams into the former champ of the RFL, and carries it to the wall! Now, it fires the flipper... will the plan work this time...
FLIP!
... NO, it does not! Megabyte escapes its doom once again, and now, Wedge Devo directly gets underneath Megabyte which is still on its back! It carries it ever so close to Matilda's flywheel, and fires the flipper...
FLIP! CRASH!!!!
Megabyte gets it good on the base armour and lands back on its wheels! Now, Megabyte is still moving, but something is wrong... its ability to spin has been disabled by Matilda, it looks like! This does not look like a good day for Megabyte, here. Its weapon is gone, which also means the srimech does not work anymore, as well. Wedge Devo comes in at full speed ahead, gets underneath Megabyte, and flips it!
FLIP!
That will do it for Megabyte. The wheels are spinning, but there is no movement in the weapon. The Refbot goes over there and starts counting it out!
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!!
A brilliant machine has been ousted from the competition, and now, in comes the house robots! Matilda plays with Megabyte with its front forklift tusks, and Lancelot puts Megabyte on the drop zone! What will we see today, I wonder? 3... 2... 1...
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a set of shotput balls and bowling balls falling on top of Megabyte from 38 feet above! Now Megabyte will be deposited into the pit by Wedge Devo any minute now... BOOM! Down it goes!
FLIP!
OI! Wedge Devo flips over the Refbot and tries to put it down the pit as well, but I don't think there's any room down there! Ah, these random house robot attacks, when will they stop...

CEASE!

Megabyte bytes off more than it can chew.
Wedge Devo goes through to the Heat D Final!
