Re: x-mas crazy bots

N³ vs. Bandwagon: I don't think Mark realises that a) whatever's holding the Armox on isn't going to be as strong as the Armox itself, and b) even considering that, I do not need to crush him, just exert enough pressure on the robot to stop it from getting away...hehehehe...

Tactics: Use front located wheels' superior maneuvring and hydrostatic control to get underneath it where it isn't dangerous with the forks/wedge. Lift it with the forks, lifting the wheels off the ground so it can't move. Bring the crusher down to stop it getting off the forks, find the nearest pit, and deposit it down it taking no chances with prolonging the fight for the audience, letting it go, etc. - just get it down the pit and win.

Gabriel V vs. CroOKeD Evo: Get under, push, flip, rinse, repeat, out of the arena, spin cycle, Fairy liquid, and more flipping. Something like that.

No Consequences vs. Exotherm: Spin up right from the start of the fight, don't bother maneuvring out of the start. Once I'm up to speed, translate towards Exotherm, try to avoid the disc and generally hit it quite a lot, only use the lifter if a) a really good pitting opportunity presents itself immediately or b) if I have to self right. Avoid the disc if I can and keep hitting it until either I break, he breaks, or something else happens that ends the fight.

Best of luck everyone

Re: x-mas crazy bots

Sure it can take about 150kj, but can it take 1500kj...

Joey: Holding the Armox together is 4.5mm hardox... His hydrostatic drive puts out less HP then my Magmotors. Drive away, get to the side, flip, OOTA it, I've already said this before, blah blah blah...

Re: x-mas crazy bots

lian walsh: *ho ho groan* welcome to (an early) christmas crazy bots
lets kick off
shall we

from (i believe) pontrefact, west yorkshire

n3

niddhog a crusher with self righting but cant self right if its clamped on someone

from texas usa, bandwagon 3,
updated with a deadly flipper and quicker to

3..... 2,..... 1.... activate

lets begin the festivities

bandwagon charges at n3 and flips it as it rolls over and comes back at bw and tries to crush it but the armox is way to
strong for n3 to crush as bandwagon launches it clear into the air and reapeats again and again and again as n3 rolls
over and comes back for more as n3 now clamps bandwagon down but doesnt get through the armox plating and
pushes bandwagon into the cpz where shunt lurks and strikes his axe down but no damage whatsoever very effective
as bandwagon tries to get away but to no avail as n3 slams it into the wall and drags back and slams it against the pit
release button and rolls bandwagon over but it self rights and flips n3 onto its side as it pins it down with the flipping
arm and matilda comes in with the flywheel KA BANG FOOL as matilda tears of a rear panel of n3 and bandwagon
pulls back and flips it up and out

mark proceeds to the quaterfinals

next battle loki vs jinx

by the way the game you all lose haha

Re: x-mas crazy bots

Oh yeah!!! Bandwagon 3 is proven to be a success!!! That Armox held on perfectly with the Hardox glazing bars, and didn't suffer any damage at all...

Re: x-mas crazy bots

I promise this isn't sour grapes but at no stage in my tactics did I say I was going to shove it into the house robots, unless you mistook the pit for a house robot :P

Re: x-mas crazy bots

Ntothepowerof3 vs Bandwagon 3 - Umm...apologies if this sounds rough, but you don't listen to tactics very well , do you? :P Ah well, Nidhogg was robbed.

Jinx vs Loki

The bar-spinner again...attach long spiky things, get under it, watch it fly from lack of balance. When its bar stops temporarily/goes out completely, axe away. And oh yeah, remove the lifter thingy from the axe head for this fight.

I.A.N vs Extreme Gyration

Mark takes Aaron's design and makes it overweight. :P IAN through on a technicality.

In the event that it has to fight, it'll probably kill itself in one hit anyway. You'd need to have massive, massive armour and some decent shockproofing to survive such recoil. :P

Shadow Zone Forever vs O.I.D.

I like O.I.D., but no mercy will be shown here. :P Ram it down the pit, always with the scoop. It's so highly armoured and mounted it's ridiculous. He won't be able to get through it at all. Just use it to get him down the pit before he tries going after my sides.

The Alexandra Sisters: Retribution vs Megaroll 2

It's not a bad design, actually, but I still believe I can win. Sophitia goes after Megaroll, Cassandra heads for the pit release. Then they flip him towards it. It'll be easy once the pit is open; flip-after-flip isn't easy to interrupt. :P

Gabriel V vs CrOoKeD eVo

Not sure. Both are pretty decent machines but Gabriel may just edge this one.

Skull vs Tomohawk

Tomohawk is pants. Skull FTW.

No Consequences vs Exotherm

I'd say NC has this one in the bag. Unless Exo can toss over NC with the disc and then smack the lifter. ...oh great I gave Exo a tactic. :P

Re: x-mas crazy bots

Well, Kody, since there's 2 robots and only one of you, and since you can only control 1 robot at a time, I'll pit whichever one you aren't driving. After destroying Cassandra's aluminum inserts, of course.

That didn't stop Chris Cooper and Going Crunch. :P

Re: x-mas crazy bots

So? Most tourney writers don't even notice that it's impossible for 1 person to drive both parts at a time.

Re: x-mas crazy bots

sorry joey i wrote this before you posted up the tactics

next battle later today

[death robotics]

Re: x-mas crazy bots

lian walsh: we return with x mas crazy bots lets see who wants to DIE!!!!!!!

pod 1 jinx/kody

pod 2 loki/lewis

3.....2.....1.... activate

loki is up to full speed already as jinx comes in at speed and loki is unstable and WHOOOSH it shoots across the arena
and the blade looks like its stopped and jinx hammers away BASH CRASH AND SMASH the top panel its smashed into
but loki now gets its blade back up to speed and waits for jinx but jinx gets under again and loki takes off again last
time i looked it was a spinner not a rocket as it lands near the flame pit and jinx comes in and bashes the crap out of
it, im glad im not loki he looks like he might have a headache and it looks like the blade got jammed up and jinx pushes
it into the ppz with dead metal BZZZZZZT ouch look at the cut in the side of loki as it slowly gets away but not from
jinx who pounds away at the weak loki and now the axe is jammed inside loki and now drives at the wall in a bid to get
it off and it works but flips himself over and quickly self rights and hammers away at what is left, dead metal comes in
and gets hit saw involved with shunt axe BZZZZZT SMASH BZZZT SMASH as the 3 tear loki apart and place it on the
floor flipper the refbot comes in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 out they as there launched across the arena and hit the pit release
and jinx now shoves it down CEASE

what you think :wink: :| :twisted: :P :shock:

Re: x-mas crazy bots

And that gives you the right to handicap Gemini, or Black and Blue, if they're entered?

Besides...Steve, Richard, Martijn, Matty, me, etc...we DO realize what you said in the above quote, but this is fanfic. If that 'rule' you set in store was used by other tournament writers, nobody would enter clusterbots, or even make them, would they?

I smell prejudice against clusterbots from your part...

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the battle. Better than your previous fight Lian but there's always room for improvement.

w00t btw

Re: x-mas crazy bots

Hey, I'm sorry about that comment. However I'm starting to realize that what you said makes sense.

I don't have prejudice against clusterbots. As a matter of fact, I have the only Super-Heavyweight Clusterbot ever made. I'm sorry if I led you to that conclusion, and that's my fault...
