I dont need to catch you. If you want to win, you have to come to me Anyway Id like to know how FP can get itself off the wall if none of the wheels are touching anything :P

[andrewj]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

The wheels will be touching the walls. Either that or wobble power!

Youd have to be lined up perfectly against the wall which isnt likely. Its more likely to get stacked at an angle.

[andrewj]

Which makes it easier to wobble off.

So your drive is enough to tip a 100 KG robot off the arena by spinning its wheels alone. Riiiiight:P

2x B42-500 Magmotors at 60v... yes

Actually, there could be some maths behind this The change of speed in the motors from full forwards to full backwards, at speed the B42s do, it might just rock the boat a bit.

But seriously, who f^^ken knows

Thanks again for your wooty comments!

We come to another heat final, but will Forcepower Turbo or Firestorm V be the next semifinalist?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
The moment the two robots were next to each other, they swerved round to reach their opponents side! It was a close thing, but Forcepower Turbo just managed to get under Firestorm V and send it straight into the wall with a crash! Firestorm V flew backwards and was left balanced on Forcepowers back, but as the 28th seed was reversing, Firestorm Vs wheels touched the ground and it came off, so Forcepower ran right up the wedge! Firestorm V fired its flipper, but because it was flipping from the rear, Forcepower didnt go all the way over! No problem - Firestorm V just came under as it was tilting and sent it onto its back, the wedge now inverted and of little use! Forcepower Turbo got away before Firestorm V could use the wedge again, spun around and tried to shove it side on, but with its inverted wedge, it was easier for Firestorm V to get under and shove it to the north wall, then fire its flipper and stack it against it! Firestorm V didnt have much time to relax though, as Forcepower quickly began sliding down, so under came Firestorm V again and turned it back up against the wall! Forcepower remained static, so Firestorm V did a victory spin - only to stop when Forcepower began sliding back down again!
Firestorm V was forced to run back into Forcepower Turbo before it could get away, and use the flipper to send it back onto its side! But Forcepowers wheels touched the wall and it quickly came down - now with its wedge working again, it turned to attack Firestorm V, and quickly had it pinned! Turning around, Forcepower accelerated, and Firestorm V went head first into the east wall, bouncing off onto its side, and landing on its back! It couldnt selfright in time to prevent another onslaught from Forcepower Turbo, who now introduced it to the south wall! Firestorm V skimmed right over the top of the 28th seed again, landing behind the rear, and Forcepower didnt turn quickly enough to stop Firestorm coming straight underneath and tilting it up with the flipper! Unable to stack it from its position, Firestorm V turned Forcepower side on to the wall and quickly had it stuck - until it began to come down again! Forcepower Turbo managed to escape, but was now inverted again! Ready to face Firestorm V, it rushed back in and managed to shove it against the wall, but Firestorm V edged its way around, under the inverted wedge, and Forcepower found itself being taken away to the north wall again! Firestorm V now tried stacking Forcepower Turbo in the pit release corner, and between two walls as the release went off, Forcepower was having trouble getting down! After a few still seconds, Forcepower Turbo began trying to wobble itself down, and after another few moments, began to succeed! Unfortunately, back under went Firestorm V, hitting the pit release again, and now it would be a direct route to the pit and a flip down into it for Forcepower Turbo!
CEASE!

FIRESTORM V GOES THROUGH TO THE SEMI FINALS!

Next time on VFT6, 10th seed NSBFR-X hopes Forklifts Revenge, Hassocks Hog 2 and Roo 2 wont see it coming!
And 26th seed Black Chalkie Beard hopes to wipe Gyrate, Insecticide and Sonic Boom off the VFT6 blackboard!

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Spin up from the start and attack the weakest panel of each of the robots. Im slightly more worried about NSBFR-X than the other 2, so if Frank suggests a team-up, then fine, but unless he does, Ill be unbiased towards the other 3.

Additional Tactics For Each:

NSBFR-X

Should it get on a flipper, Ill rush over and preuming HH2 or FR flips him, Ill rip the top/base panel as he flies.

Forklifts Revenge

The forklift will probably be quite slow to work, so Ill slide underneath its path as it come downm hopefully tearing shavings off the bottom. This is because I dont want to hit it full-on as it may be very thick.

Hassock Hog 2

Go for the srimech if at all possible. You rip that off then FR has an excellent chance of putting it out, makking it easier to focus on the other 2.

[pcbore]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Sure a team up sounds good. Ill fit the spinning bar for this fight and attack the weapon of Hassock Hog 2 to disable it then go for the sides. Roo should go for FR as its weapon shouldnt be effective against a spun up FBS, plus its got better armour which I dont think my bar can hurt much.

[martyn]

Note to matty my weapon is fast,

For this fight i will activate the pit and use the weapon as a battering ram to bounce roo 2 down the pit, i will then flip the hog in as well

The twins return

Spilt up and attack,
Im too low to be attacked by Gyrate
Sonic Booms axe is momentum powered and therefore weak
Im worried about Insecticide, so Scott want to gang up?

If I put it in the stats, may I run with the wheel set-up 2, the swords at around 23 cm and for Beard to have the spinning drum. If not, damn I entered an old-verison.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Ill gang up, Dave! Ill take out Sonic Boom, leaving Chalkie Beard with Gyrate. Should be fun

Annoying Box Rush and Mr Nasty are eliminated!

Wow, some of my worst bad luck early on. I guess this means some impossibly good luck for VGer coming up, unless that was my good luck.
