Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 ( vs GeForce

I dont think Ill be winning this time around, but its worth a try. Ill try and get some fast attacks in by slipping the blade under and tossing MDU away if I can. Otherwise just keep ramming and flipping and see what happens.

Fantastic battles once again, Richard!

Anything can happen, Andy. Even MDU isnt invincible. :wink: (nothing against Aaron )

MDU is old and resides as my coffee table right now. The change to the translational spinner was to get it back into the league of the 100kg limit and to be more effecient then the previous versions while gaining extra advantages of 360 straife/dodging. MDU 3.1 was kinda a back step in the Kjs, but an upstep in control and stability over the previous versions of MDU.

I had fun terrorising the vapourbot world with MDU and Im sure other people will agree, it certainly raised the bar for walkers and FBS designs.

But these days, Im more happy to just stick with things that are simple as spending over 35hrs designing a bot gives you no more of an advantage as over a bot designed in 30mins, as the writers get lost in the technical terms.

Oh, and for fighting GeForce, Ill be staying in lock down mode of 500rpm to combat his quick attacks. If he tries to ram me, Im going to straife sideways out of the road and attack him from behind/side (Nothing Suss!)

the problem with raising the bar for standards so much is now no one else can reach it, tengu is one of the most successful machines of all time, possessign approximatly a third of all titles ive recieved (meaning about 30 titles) but in capability it doesnt have anythign on mdu other than the innovation fo the spinner ring. The thign is we dont have the technical knowledge or the patince to get it for osmetihng which is essentially a hobby.

Also, MDU is the robot we can blame for the introduction of the 150 kg walking limit.

[knightrous]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Actually, you can blame the people who bitched about walkers having 200kg and the writers for coinsiding with them. MDU never told anyone to go to 150kg for walkers

[Guest]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

It didnt tell anyone, maybe because it doesnt have a brain to think on its own, or a mouth to say to people go to 150kg for walkers.

Sorry about the delay!

Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 certainly caused some pain in Round 1, but can it carry on against GeForce in Round 2?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
As Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 began to spin, GeForce came out quickly, but MDU 3.1 strafed to one side! Finding itself at GeForces side, it moved to strike, but GeForce spun round and MDU 3.1 hit the wedge before GeForce could use its flipper, sending the wedge robot spinning into the wall! Shuddering away from the blow, MDU 3.1 came back, spinning again, and again had to dodge GeForces advance, this time managing to glance the rear, spinning GeForce and allowing MDU 3.1 to attack again! But as it did, GeForce just managed to slip its blade under and flip! The flipper was bashed, but still sent the former champ flying away, coming down hard and bouncing into the east wall, coming to a stop! GeForce acclerated towards the stunned 8th seed, only for it to strafe again, get spinning and whack it right in the left side! Coming back in, MDU 3.1 took GeForce along the right side, denting the 8mm armour! The two robots charged at each other again, and GeForce swerved as MDU 3.1 strafed, to get under and flip again, while having its flipper dented!
Landing and getting back up to speed, MDU 3.1 moved back toward GeForce, who was coming for it! It strafed early to avoid any attacks from GeForce, then backed up into its opponents left side, before rushing in again to hit the side again as GeForce turned! On its next attack, MDU 3.1 was forced to strafe to avoid being flipped, then came back and just managed to glance the right side, although that took it into the wall, with a bang! GeForce spun away, and both robots came rushing to meet it each other! GeForce managed to catch MDU 3.1 again and flip it as it was spun off, almost hitting the arena disc! Its flipper was now a bit battered, but still going! There was another charge of the two robots, GeForce running past MDU 3.1 as it strafed, to get a nice bang in the backside! It was spun against the wall, so MDU 3.1 could mash its right side! As GeForce recovered and came in again, MDU 3.1 managed to do another dodge and hit the right side again!
A moment later, GeForce was hit again on the right by the 8th seed, the armour there now ripped! Still going, it went for MDU 3.1 and just got in a flip as MDU 3.1 hit it again, tipping the 8th seed onto its side and making it do a bouncing roll along the floor! With this blow, GeForces flipper seemed to give up, and as it retracted, it did so slowly! MDU 3.1 attacked again - GeForce managed to catch it on the wedge, but the damaged flipper came up too slowly to overturn MDU 3.1, and it bounced away! Both robots came together again, MDU 3.1 landing another punch on the right side, sending forces shuddering into the insides and leaving GeForce slowed on the right side! The unseeded robot struggled to attack MDU 3.1 again, but was just hit on the split side again, and was now left motionless! Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 did a spin for the audience in the arena centre, as the body of GeForce waited for the countdown to end!
CEASE!

MASS DISCTRUCTION ULTIMATE 3.1 GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!

Hypertension Mk2 and No Close Shave 2 will now fight for the second place in the Heat M Final!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Hypertension Mk2 had the faster start, using its superior speed to spin round and ram No Close Shave 2 in the side, then chuck it away with its flipper! Landing on its side, NCS2 began using its wings to selfright, but not fast enough to avoid Hypertension Mk2 ramming its underbelly and flipping it again! NCS2 now landed on its back, balancing on the claw for a moment before coming down, allowing a third attack from the 24th seed! This flip caused NCS2 to go bang against the wall and bounce off, onto Hypertension Mk2s back and off, landing on its side again! Relentless, Hypertension Mk2 reversed to ram NCS2 into the east wall as it was selfrighting, but this pushed NCS2 off the seeded robot and back onto its wheels! It turned round to attack, but Hypertension Mk2 moved and the two robots turned around each other. Quickly, Hypertension Mk2 got under No Close Shave 2 again, turning it into the wall - a flip made NCS2 go straight up, landing on its wheels on Hypertension Mk2s body, and starting to roll off, but becoming stranded on the side! Turning around so NCS2 ended up on its flipper, Hypertension Mk2 tossed it into the north wall, leaving NCS2 on its side against the wall! Before it could selfright, Hypertension Mk2 had rammed it again, then pushed it round into the pit release, then around again to flip it into the pit! No Close Shave 2 hit the wall, bounced on the edge, teetered, then fell in!
CEASE!

HYPERTENSION MK2 GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!

Heat M Final:
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 ( vs Hypertension Mk2 (24)

How come my vapourbots never make it to the Heat Final? :sad:

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

OK. Im hoping that the Hardox will stand up to a few hits, which should make the rest of the job that little bit easier. If I slide underneath the frame before it spins up to full speed, I can launch it and hopefully break the body through sheer force. If they dont break after falling down, then they should at least have had the weapon slow down, so Ill slide underneath and pit him.

People may be surprised, but Im actually feeling pretty confident.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Finally a battle that showed the full extent of the straifing ability W00t!

For against Hypertension, Im going to raise the RPM level to 1000rpm and will keep straifing out of his way, making him crash into the wall and not hitting me. The idea here will be to dodge/straife to the side, allowing him to half pass me and then slash the sides throwning us apart and letting me maintain full RPM. If i can dodge long enough, Im going to let it get up into OVERDRIVE mode for maximum damage. I dont see him box rushing me in time as for him to traverse a minimum of 4m will take him at least 1sec which is enough time for me to be already cruising at 500rpm, which is plenty of speed to knock an opponent away and let me get up into the peak RPM levels. Having blades only 20mm from the floor helps me catch any wedges before they can get under, so no flipping should happen, if by some fluke chance I get flipped, Im not concerned as Im invertible.

Will be interesting this battle.

Hmm. If Aarons cranking this much power out of the thing Ill go with Hypertension to win after MDU self KOs itself.

Once again, the heat final is seeded robot territory? But which seeded robot is about to become a semifinalist - Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 or Hypertension Mk2?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 again started spinning, while Hypertension Mk2 barreled towards it! The former champion strafed, but still glanced the front of Hypertension Mk2, sending it spinning to one side! Hypertension reversed straight towards MDU3.1, only to go straight past another strafe! MDU3.1 came towards Hypertension, but had to dodge again when the 24th seed looked ready to use its flipper - unfortunately, Hypertension caught up as it did so, the blades on MDU3.1 hitting the flipper as it fired! As Hypertension Mk2 skimmed away, the 8th seed flew upward, bouncing on its side as it came down and almost hitting the wall! Inverted, it spun up and dodged the charging Hypertension again, causing it to go smash into the wall, so it could have its right side assaulted! MDU3.1 dodged the flipper and hit the right side again, knocking Hypertension Mk2 against the wall again, and glancing its rear as it escaped! Hypertension spun around, while MDU3.1 was reversing away, and charged, but missed again as MDU3.1 strafed, then had a blow in the left side! Escaping MDU3.1s attack, Hypertension Mk2 swerved round again and managed to use its flipper again, spinning itself off but causing MDU3.1 to bounce off the floor, into the wall, back to the floor and away!
Hypertension Mk2 followed it, but MDU3.1 eventually landed, strafed the attack and began spinning again, striking a glancing blow on Hypertensions rear to add insult to injury! Cornering Hypertension over the closed pit, MDU3.1 mashed it again, denting the Hardox! Managing to escape with another brief touch on its rear, Hypertension Mk2 rushed at MDU3.1 as it was close to the wall and gave it another ram, missing the flip but causing MDU3.1 to hit the west wall and skim across the floor! Spun against the wall, Hypertension recovered and went after MDU3.1. Again, MDU3.1 was spinning just enough to knock it, but not before Hypertension had flipped! Hitting the wall, MDU3.1 came down on its side, and settled onto its wheels, strafing Hypertension Mk2 again, and hitting it as it reversed! Unfortunately, it was still close to the wall, and Hypertension rammed it in, causing the 8th seed to bounce off after the already spinning 24th seed! Spinning again, MDU3.1 missed hitting Hypertension Mk2 on the rear, and ran away from the wall while Hypertension chased it! Strafing, MDU3.1 whacked Hypertension on the side once again, chased it as it spun, but ended up meeting the flipper! Hypertension was spun into a corner and couldnt follow MDU3.1 as it bounced away again!
The two robots came towards each other quickly again, MDU3.1 again dodging and slicing Hypertension Mk2 along the side, but the Hardox armour still held up, while Hypertension went head first into the wall and MDU3.1 could hit it again! Backing up, Hypertension missed MDU3.1 as it dodged again, but was hit on the rear again, and then glanced on the side! The 24th seed backed up again and came in more carefully, following MDU3.1 as it strafed and getting in another flip, sending the 8th seed away across the floor! MDU3.1 bounced against the floor and glanced the west wall, slowing the spinner, and finally Hypertension Mk2 managed to follow and catch it! It immediately turned MDU3.1 around, rammed it against the pit release, and a moment later, Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 was denied a reclaiming of the title as it was consigned to the pit! Despite the pummeling it received, Hypertension Mk2s valiant efforts had paid off!
CEASE!

HYPERTENSION MK2 GOES THROUGH TO THE SEMI FINALS!

Next time on VFT6, sixth seed SD IV will try to make life saw for Aces & Eights, Scimiter and Supernova!
And 22nd seed Dervish V/ will try to be a whirling dervish against Mega Masher 2, Total Bast**d and Wind Chiller!

Scott, can I have the stats for Total B*****d please?
