Velociraptor's Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Roo 2s ring might be too high to hit the twins, as its only 1 cm thick.

Im thinking of using the rear end off one part to ram into Roo 2 to stop the spinner and enforce 166 Kj back onto itself. Worst case, one part of BCB being killed by the impact, but as Roo 2 doesnt have any shock-proofing, its a case of Supernova once more.

With any thing, the other part will open the pit, and wait, away from Roo 2 incase it goes mad when one part hits into it.

After that delay, lets carry on!

After that tough Round 1, lets see if Round 2 will be just as fun, as NSBFR-X (with a scoop and latch) prepares to meet the repaired Sonic Boom!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
NSBFR-X and Sonic Boom came rolling into each other, Sonic Boom sliding off NSBFR-Xs wedge before it could be gripped and spinning to bring its axe into the side! As NSBFR-X tried to turn into Sonic Boom, the axlebot kept at its side and brought down its axe, only making a scratch! The two robots simply turned around on the spot, not doing much at all! Eventually, NSBFR-X shifted then ran at Sonic Boom with its latch, but Sonic Boom reversed away, outrunning the 10th seed! At a safe distance, it decided to be more aggressive and came back towards NSBFR-X, going up one side of the wedge again and going a bit topsy-turvy! Unfortunately, this provided an oppotunity for NSBFR-X to turn around and catch Sonic Boom on its wedge, managing to grasp the axle with its latch and trapping the axlebot! NSBFR-X quickly went at full speed to the arena disc, turning as it got there so Sonic Booms right wheel bore the brunt of the spinner - but if the Hardox wheel hub could survive Gyrate, it could certainly survive that! Not giving up, NSBFR-X turned Sonic Boom straight back into the disc! The rubber on the wheel was scratched a little, but was hardly affected, even when NSBFR-X gave it yet another slam into the arena disc, giving itself a nick in the process! A fourth hit deepened the scratch, but it still wasnt having a significant effect! Getting bored, and knowing its pin time limit was running down, NSBFR-X sped to the pit release, and soon it had dropped Sonic Boom out of VFT6!
CEASE!

NSBFR-X GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!

Now what will happen when clusterbot Black Chalkie Beard meets spinner Roo 2?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Black Chalkie Beard split, and while Black went to wait by the pit release, Beard chased down Roo 2, who ran away to get itself spinning, and managed to keep ahead of Beard long enough to do so! Turning around, Beard reversed towards Roo 2, who came to meet it! The crash resonated around the arena as both robots spun away from each other in a blur! Smashed into the wall, Beard was disorientated, but managed to recover as Roo 2 came towards it again! Roo 2 hit the rear of Beard again, sending the clusterbot half bouncing off the wall and just missing it on its return journey! Before Beard could get going again, Roo 2 gave it a whack on the side, towards the closed pit! This time, Beard recovered and dodged Roo 2s next advance, then turned around and used its rear again! As Beard went spinning towards its twin Black, Roo 2 was sent in the wall, bouncing towards the twins as well! Black quickly went to catch Roo 2 while its spinner was slowed, giving it a bounce at first, but that sent it into another wall which slowed it even more, so the still functioning Beard could capture it on its swords! Black immediately hit the release, and Beard sent Roo 2 towards the opening pit, giving it a lift over the edge with its swords!
CEASE!

BLACK CHALKIE BEARD GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!

Heat L Final:
NSBFR-X (10) vs Black Chalkie Beard (26)

I will wait for Franks setup to post proper tactics.

However, the aim will be to use the control of both robots to an advantage and outdrive NSBFR-X, to get around its side, to hopefully use the momentum to get underneath the skirts and lift it up and dump into the pit, opened by one part of BCB.

Ill fit the spinning bar. As each piece is only 50 KGs, each hit should smash the parts far away from me so they cant effectively attack, and who knows I may be able to shock-kill them as well. I should certainly be able to rip the forks free to stop them getting under.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

I lost count of how many people have called the swords, forks.

If Frank is fitting the bar, the simple thing will be to dodge around the sides, by using the lower top speed, but pretty wel instant acceleration and control. Im not that fussed in losing to NSBFR-X, cos its so good.

Swords, forks, knives, spoons... Same difference they can still be torn off

That what you think, for this fight I will be using the 10cm swords for max flip effect, bearing in mind 5cm is within the body, so that the rams are away from the impact area.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Its the hinges that are the weak point. Remember Crushtacian vs Supernova?

[Guest]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

I know the hinges are the weak point, but the only connection point that can be hit is the pivot, even then, that takes a good shot to disable both pivots (remember the swords work at different times)

Change of tactics, as soon as I can, flip NSBFR-X over to make the spinning bar useless, then, hmm, get underneath the rear and lift the rear wheels off the ground with the swords, then push, as the other twin opens the pit.

The bar works both ways up, which is why I use it when its possible for me to get flipped.

Hey, lets just rip this door of its hinges.

Its not as easy as just ripping weapons off, Frank... You have to get some very accurate hits, and lots off them with a powerful weapon to just pull a weapon off a robot.

Just my two woots.

Fair enough, maybe I did make it sound a bit easy

Well soon have a seed in the second semi final. Can NSBFR-X reach a third semi, using its spinning bar against Black Chalkie Beard?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
NSBFR-X paused as its bar began spinning, while Black Chalkie Beard split up and both parts charged the 10th seed! NSBFR-X now began moving itself, running into Blacks side and striking with the spinning bar, turning Black around to block the oncoming Beard! Whacking Black aside again, NSBFR-X ran into a head on collision with Beard, hitting the swords and spinning Beard away! Unfortunately, Black took the oppotunity to run into NSBFR-Xs side and begin battling the skirts! As Black shoved at NSBFR-X, Beard came back to join it, and eventually NSBFR-X was against the wall, allowing the swords to just slip underneath and prop it against the wall! Black excitedly ran for the pit release, while Beard moved to shove NSBFR-X straight to the pit - but when it did, NSBFR-X dropped to the floor, inverted, and its spinning bar hit the top of Beard so it could fly to safety! Beard chased after NSBFR-X, only to be hit in the side - it was too low for the inverted spinning bar, but NSBFR-X managed to give it a good ram which made it drop into the pit! Black came rushing back to avenge its lost twin, so NSBFR-X had to reverse, and it stayed well away from the pit until it had closed!
At this point, Black came racing down the arena towards NSBFR-X, who was only too happy to greet it! They came together and tried to attack each others sides, NSBFR-X succeeding with its high speed, and slowly pushing Black in a curved path, still unable to use its bar! They came to the south wall, and with the angle they were at, Black scraped out of NSBFR-Xs grip, and quickly turned around to attack the side, only for NSBFR-X to escape, then reverse into Blacks side, pinning it in the southwest corner with its rear skirt! They remained there for a while, Black unable to get out, until NSBFR-X became bored and moved to release the clusterbot half! As Black got out and ran to NSBFR-Xs side, NSBFR-X swerved and tried to use its rear to push again, but Black glanced off and could then run into NSBFR-Xs inverted wedge, shoving the 10th seed against the wall! It began lifting from there, but the swords hit the spinning bar and Black was knocked away! NSBFR-X immediately shoved it into the corner again, catching it in another pin! Again, the pin lasted a while and the audience quickly got bored, so NSBFR-X released Black, who reversed before it could be pinned again, and was chased by NSBFR-X, who managed to ram it side on with its inverted wedge and get it against the west wall!
This time, NSBFR-X didnt pin Black for as long - when it released, Black swerved after it, but was just rammed in the side again, and shoved in a curved path, glancing off the south wall, missing the arena disc and going into the west wall, where Black managed to escape due to its angle! It reversed to shove, but found itself in NSBFR-Xs inverted wedge! The two combatants heaved against each other, back and forth in short distances, until Black turned to use its swords - and once again found the inverted wedge eating its side! Black was now rammed into the north wall, and along onto the closed pit, where it found itself being pinned once again! Seconds passed before NSBFR-X released Black and then went straight along into the pit release to try and end the fight, but Black was coming after it! NSBFR-X and Black collided again, both turning and NSBFR-X succeeding in reaching Blacks side again, but now they werent pointed at the pit! NSBFR-X shoved anyway, and managed to bring Black into the west wall, although it failed to get it into the pit before it had closed! The 10th seed just carried on pinning - with seconds left in the match, Black just managed to wriggle out, and NSBFR-X was forced to dodge it! They met head on again, and Black now shoved NSBFR-X without lifting, ramming it against the arena disc just after the buzzer had sounded - a naughty end to this rather dull heat final!
CEASE!

Aggression: NSBFR-X - 5, BCB - 5 (equal aggression from both robots)
Damage: NSBFR-X - 10, BCB - 0 (NSBFR-X gets damage points for eliminating Beard and attacking with its spinning bar)
Strategy: NSBFR-X - 6, BCB - 4 (BCBs strategy went out the window when Beard was pitted, leaving NSBFR-X to do more shoving, and pinning as well)
Control: NSBFR-X - 5, BCB - 5 (equal control as well)
Style: NSBFR-X - 6, BCB - 4 (in the first bit of the fight when weapons were being used, NSBFR-Xs spinning bar was more stylish)
Dominance: NSBFR-X - 8, BCB - 2 (NSBFR-X pitted one part of BCB, and did a lot of pinning, and more ramming)
Final Score: NSBFR-X - 40, Black Chalkie Beard - 20

NSBFR-X GOES THROUGH TO THE SEMI FINALS!

Next time on VFT6, eighth seed Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 will make a comeback - how will it do against Dieceratops Invertus, Infernal Contraption and No Close Shave 2?
And 24th seed Hypertension Mk2 will be hyper and try to make Geforce, Tazbot and TIRTASM tense!

Hmm, that wasnt the most fun heat to write. Still, maybe Heat M will be better.

Wooty In terms of power and feasibility, Id say NSBFR X is definitely my best vapour so Im glad to see it still doing well. Except for pinball of course but meh

In the first melee... Well, despite some clever shock protection i think MDU 3 is still very prone to killing itself. MDU and No Close Shave to go through if it doesnt, but No Close Shave and Die-Ceratops Invertus to go through if it does.

As the for second melee, any of these machines could go through but I think Hypertension and GeForce will do it.

ah nuts.

Well played Frank-o.
