Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!
Welcome to VFT6! Our first semifinal is complete, and Storm 2 and Wedge Devolution are in the grand final, but because these are called semifinals, theres a second one coming up, which will add another two robots to the final four! Who are the upcoming eight heat winners?
Second seed WX 6.0 is a low invertable box, and it still has interchangable weaponry - two scoops, Hardox jaws, sprung skirts, a Tornado-like anti crusher bar, a vertical drum, front forks and a concave scoop for spinners! It began its latest VFT run by sending Little Sister into the pit, and when the previously flipped X Terminator couldnt selfright, WX 6.0 and VGer went through! Next was The Doomsday Project, who had itself rammed around the arena by the second seed, and eventually escorted to the pit! Heir To Black Panther IV met WX 6.0 in the heat final, and used its axe to leave some marks, but in the end, WX 6.0s aggressive pushing had the Panther in the pit as well!
Tenth seed NSBFR-X is an invertable box wedge with rounded sides, and its put together some new interchangable weaponry as well - the old Hardox scoop, a horizontal spinning bar, pincers and an electric lifting plate, now slotted into the wedge so the wedge itself is stronger! With help from Roo 2, NSBFR-X dismantled Hassocks Hog 2 in its first fight, then they beat Forklifts Revenge on a 23-21-16 decision! In Round 2, it used its pincers to capture Sonic Boom, use the arena disc against it and eventually drop it down the pit! Clusterbot Black Chalkie Beard was its opponent in the heat final - NSBFR-X pitted Beard and then had a dull battle with Black, which it won 40-20!
Twenty-second seed Dervish V/ is a Barberous-like invertable cylinder, with the middle spinning at 2500rpm, and studded with carbon and titanium blades to painfully mash any armour it comes into contact with! In the first melee, Dervish V/ had a go at everyone, while Mega Masher 2 pitted Total B*****d and Dervish did the same to Wind Chiller! Scimiter faced the spinner in Round 2, and was overturned by it again and again until Dervish V/ hit the weak base and feasted on the innards within! The heat final had Mega Masher 2 in store, but Dervish V/ also turned it over repeatedly, doing the armour enough damage to mash Mega Masher 2 into submission!
Twenty-fourth seed Hypertension Mk2 is an invertable low box and it still has a flipper, which can flip 2500kg! It now runs slower, at 22mph, but can still push well with rubber wheels! In Round 1, it flipped TIRTASM and Tazbot all over the place with help from GeForce - both opponents hit the ground so many times they were killed! No Close Shave 2 was a mere toy for the 24th seed in Round 2 - flipped, rammed, and eventually pitted! A big surprise came in the heat final, when Hypertension Mk2 met Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 - the former champ got some good hits in, but Hypertension flipped and rammed again, and MDU was sent into the pit!
Firestorm V is a fast, manouverable wedge robot which is nice and low to get under most opponents, and its front hinged flipper usually works to overturn its victims so they can be shoved around! Its first melee against Annoying Box Rush, Flea 2.0 and Mr Nasty saw Firestorm tossing ABR and Mr Nasty into the pit! Firestorm then met another realie, Disconstructor, and played with it using the arena disc, and soon the pit! Forcepower Turbo was the heat final opponent, and Firestorm V was rammed about, but also got some good flips in, which eventually condemned Forcepower Turbo to the black hole!
Mother Of All Bricks 2 is a brick shaped robot that runs on 8 shuffling plates which take it to 18mph, and probably make a lot of noise too! MOAB2 pushes with a frightening 128HP, and that means the screwdriver-drill weapon at the front can cause some pain! The PTT4 bronze medallist showed good form in Round 1 when it rammed Wrecktangle into the pit and teamed up with Killotine Evo to do the same to Terrorhurtz! Typhoon 2 found it couldnt do much damage to MOAB2 in Round 2 - with constant pressure, the rammer tipped the RW champ on its side and left it for dead! Killotine Evo reappeared in the heat final - not strong enough to drag MOAB2, it was consigned to the pit as well!
Stratosfear is a four wheel drive axlebot which will try to send all comers to the stratosphere with its nitrogen powered flipper, capable of flipping a tonne, and it hopes the shock of impact will kill its opponents! Chaos 2, Megabyte and Vlad the Impaler 2 all learned what a nitrogen flipper feels like in the first melee - in the end, Chaos 2 pitted Vlad, and was then immobilised by the force of Megabyte and Stratosfears flips! In Round 2, the flipper met former semifinalist Angel Of The Abyss - surviving the damage it took, it successfully flipped the spinner and sent it down the pit! In the heat final, Ankle Biter The Second also caused damage but still fell foul of the flipper, and impacts against the ground served to immobilise it and send Stratosfear to new heights!
And The Ultimate Wedge is a Voltronic-style wedge shape, armed with a top hinged flipper that sits on top of the 4mm Hardox armour so no gaps are opened up when it fires! The Ultimate Wedge is extremely fast at 35mph, and has great pushability! It demonstrated that in Round 1 when it rushed Nightmare down the pit, while Push-Ish sent Dallas the same way! Disco Dancer 2.5s desperate efforts in Round 2 werent enough, as The Ultimate Wedge shoved it about, finishing the fight with a pitting! Push-Ish underwent the same treatment in the heat final - once it was in the pit, The Ultimate Wedge was in the semis and able to try and prove its name!
The first fight will feature WX 6.0 trying to use its scoop and skirts to make The Ultimate Wedge not so ultimate!
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
WX 6.0 came straight towards The Ultimate Wedge, who tried to run into its side, and succeeded, just managing to get itself into WX 6.0s side (though not under the skirt) and ram it into the west wall! As it pinned the second seed, The Ultimate Wedge strained to get under, but the skirt would not budge! After a while, TUW released WX 6.0, who ran - but this exposed its side to another hard ram from TUW! This attack propelled both robots into the pit corner, where they remained for the full thirty seconds, The Ultimate Wedge still failing to surpass the skirting! At that point, it was ordered to release WX 6.0, who ran away from it and then skidded round to face the Wedge as it attacked again! The two robots met in a head on collision, and thanks to WX 6.0s heavy scoop, The Ultimate Wedge ran up it! Now in control, WX 6.0 decided to show The Ultimate Wedge what a pin feels like, and rammed it into the same corner - with its wheels off the ground, TUW was helpless!
WX 6.0 held it over the closed pit for a while, then tried to shift and take it elsewhere, but had to struggle to do so! Its pin time limit was almost up when it got TUW facing the arena disc and ran it towards it! The Ultimate Wedge skimmed over the top of WX 6.0, ending up balanced on the rear skirt! WX 6.0 had just got it pinned against the south wall when it was told to end the pin! When WX 6.0 obeyed, The Ultimate Wedge rushed away in a 35mph blur, then came straight back - but found that it was about to run into WX 6.0s heavy scoop again! It swerved off and then moved to run into the side, but WX 6.0 had moved and got a corner of its wedge under a side! The Ultimate Wedge quickly ran off the scoop, but WX 6.0 reversed and used its rear skirt to trap TUW against the south wall again! Having to manouver The Ultimate Wedge carefully so it wouldnt hit the arena disc and be freed, WX 6.0 carried it across the arena to the pit release, and a fire of its flipper couldnt stop The Ultimate Wedge from being unceremoniously dumped!
CEASE!
WX 6.0 GOES THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!
NSBFR-X has fitted a spinning bar to take on Stratosfear, but will it help?
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Its bar beginning to spin, NSBFR-X moved to greet Stratosfear - as both robots turned for side attacks, Stratosfear had a wheel glanced by the bar and was knocked off course, allowing NSBFR-X to land a better blow! The 10th seed continued pressurising Stratosfear in this way, until the bar began to slow down and the wedge came into play, coming under Stratosfears now scratched wheelpods and shoving it along! Unfortunately, Stratosfear was able to wheel itself off NSBFR-Xs wedge, and turn itself around as NSBFR-X turned to attack it again. As both robots moved, the low flipper sliced under the skirts and fired! NSBFR-X went up and away, spinning in the air and coming to a stop right side up, close to the wall! Stratosfear came in like a missile, but NSBFR-X was already away! Stratosfear hit the wall as it turned and was slowed, allowing NSBFR-X to get to its side and begin using the spinning bar again, edging Stratosfear inexorably along the wall, until they reached the arena disc! With a scratch in its right wheels, Stratosfear was turned towards NSBFR-Xs side by the disc, but before it could use its flipper, NSBFR-X turned and managed to deflect it with the bar!
NSBFR-X again began attacking Stratosfears ever more damaged left wheels with its bar, until the bar began slowing and it could use its wedge to start shoving Stratosfear towards the pit release! But they werent even near it before Stratosfear again got off - NSBFR-X saw it and tried to escape, but Stratosfear slipped under the rear skirt and in an instant, NSBFR-X was flying towards the west wall, which it brushed against as it landed on its back! The inverted robot ran away as Stratosfear attacked again, just missing being catapulted again, and got back round to Stratosfears left side and attacked with the bar! One wheel pod was now badly cut, and after a few slashes by the bar, it was pierced! The bar reached the workings inside and with two more hits, there was no power left in the wheel, badly slowing Stratosfear! NSBFR-X now focussed on the other left wheel, but the bar slowed down before the wheel was pierced, and unable to use the wedge, NSBFR-X reversed out of danger, Stratosfear almost getting a flip in under the wedge! A second later, the bar was back up to speed, and NSBFR-X was easily able to get back on track! A couple more attacks broke open the wheelpod armour, and once the bar reached the inside, Stratosfear couldnt move with its left side, and was having trouble moving!
Deflecting Stratosfear with a hit to the rear, NSBFR-X turned around and used its rear skirt to shove Stratosfear from there! Stratosfear turned off again, but it couldnt turn into its opponent quickly enough and NSBFR-X just got under again, on the right side! With only its dead wheels on the ground, Stratosfear couldnt get off and was moved towards the pit release! But it fired its mighty flipper, and bounced off, although it missed flipping NSBFR-X again! NSBFR-X angrily ran its spinning bar into Stratosfears right wheels, then turned around and got its rear skirt under again, and turned Stratosfear into the east wall! Stratosfear fired its flipper again, and ended up on top of NSBFR-X where it couldnt go anywhere! The tenth seed ran into the pit release, and still carrying Stratosfear on its back, ran towards the pit! Now came the task of getting Stratosfear off - NSBFR-X shifted around close to the pit, but made slow progress, until it accidentally got its wheels over the edge of the pit! With NSBFR-Xs body now tilting, Stratosfear went down, but then the pit closed and saved NSBFR-X from doing the same!
CEASE!
NSBFR-X GOES THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!
Two lower seeds now clash - Dervish V/ and Hypertension Mk2!
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Dervish V/ began moving towards Hypertension Mk2, until it found the 24th seed coming at it at high speed! It backed off, so its cylinder was spinning when they met! They both jumped backwards from the impact, and with Hypertension disorientated, Dervish V/ spun into its side for another whack, not tilting it much due to the skirts! Hypertension Mk2 did a reverse swerve to escape, but was hit in the front! It still got away, backing up from Dervish V/, then ramming it again! Again, both robots were jolted! This time, Hypertension moved before Dervish V/ could strike, and aimed for its wheel! Unfortunately, Dervish V/ turned too quickly, and hit Hypertension Mk2 in the side again! It got two hits in which lifted Hypertension enough for Dervish to hit the underbelly and tip it over, before launching it into the west wall! The inverted Hypertension Mk2 ran for its life before throwing itself back over with its flipper, then had to dodge Dervish again! Making contact with Dervish V/ again, Hypertension now activated its flipper! It was knocked back, but Dervish was sent upwards, against the east wall! The 22nd seed quickly wheeled off, but Hypertension was able to attack again as it was against the wall! Dervish V/ was bounced against the wall and onto the top of Hypertension Mk2!
Hypertension Mk2 excitedly headed for the pit release, but Dervish V/ began using its big wheels to work its way off its opponent! It got off, so Hypertension quickly reversed into it, knocking it back against the wall and pinning it there! But when it moved to begin moving Dervish V/ towards the release again, the 22nd seed was again able to escape! It ran, with Hypertension coming after it quickly! Hypertension Mk2 ended up hitting Dervish V/ in the rear where the direction of the spinner bounced the Barberous-like robot onto its opponent again! The 24th seed gave Dervish V/ a big flip, rocketing it into the west wall! The spinner didnt hit the wall, but a wheel did and it bounced off! Hypertension Mk2 caught up with it as it went, but ended up hitting the cylinder so both were bounced backwards again! Dervish V/ hadnt quite regained control however, so Hypertension Mk2 was able to go for it again and flip it towards the pit release! Dervish didnt hit the release, but was in the perfect position to be backed up against the corner, so it hit the wall again and was bounced onto Hypertensions body! Turning, Hypertension Mk2 began a charge to the opened pit, only for Dervish V/ to slide down off the side again! Hypertension turned around to try and catch it, but Dervish V/ stayed ahead long enough to begin spinning again, so when Hypertension Mk2 hit it in the front, it was tilted upward again!
Dervish V/ pressed home its advantage, hitting Hypertension Mk2 in the corner to tilt it some more! It almost managed to stack the 24th seed against the wall, but Hypertension wasnt in the right position and slid back down, although it didnt escape fast enough to avoid being hit again! Smashed against the wall by this whack, it bounced back against Dervish V/ and was able to escape! Outrunning Dervish V/, Hypertension got far enough away to selfright safely, then came back towards its spinning opponent, again firing its flipper on impact! Dervish V/ flew away, its spinner now hitting the wall so it made a terrific flight back onto the floor! It was a safe distance from Hypertension Mk2 when it landed, and began its deadly spin again, but Hypertension hit it in the rear again and made it jump onto its body, putting it in the perfect position to be flipped towards the closed pit! As Dervish V/ bounced into the corner, Hypertension Mk2 reversed desperately into the pit release! The pit opened, but Dervish V/ was no longer over it, and began running away! Hypertension chased it down, managing to catch it and send it off balance with a flip! Another flip propelled Dervish V/ back towards the pit! With one more flip, the scratched but still living Hypertension Mk2 sent Dervish V/ directly over the pit, and it fell straight down!
CEASE!
HYPERTENSION MK2 GOES THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!
And now two non-seeds to finish off - Firestorm V and Mother Of All Bricks 2!
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Firestorm V and Mother Of All Bricks 2 came into the centre of the arena - they ended up parallel to each other as they attempted to attack, and MOAB2s drill began wearing away at Firestorm Vs side! They turned around like that for a few moments, with Firestorm unable to surpass MOABs low skirts, so MOAB swerved off then came back, using its rear skirt to get under Firestorm V and give it a good hard ram into the east wall! The three time RW bronze medallist was trapped by the Brick, and pinned for a moment until MOAB2 shifted, and shuffled Firestorm V with speed into the arena disc! Firestorm V was left with a wound in its rear, but it was now free of MOAB2s grip! Unfortunately, the PTT4 bronze medallist was already coming for it, so Firestorm V turned into it, and they became parallel again! Almost immediately, MOAB2 broke away and rammed Firestorm V in the side with its drill, taking it on another short trip into the arena disc! Firestorm V was skimmed against the wall, allowing MOAB2 to move in and pin it, pressing the drill against the armour but not causing real damage! Slowly, Firestorm V began to slither out of this grip, but before it could, MOAB2 turned to block its reverse retreat, then got its rear skirt under again and rammed Firestorm V into the empty southwest corner! It pinned it there for a while, until it became bored and turned Firestorm V away, carrying it across the arena and into the east wall with a thud! Once MOAB2 had turned, the next stop was the pit release, and then on to the pit, sending Firestorm V down and out and Mother Of All Bricks 2 through!
CEASE!
MOTHER OF ALL BRICKS 2 GOES THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!
Semi Final 2, Round 5:
WX 6.0 (2) vs NSBFR-X (10)
Hypertension Mk2 (24) vs Mother Of All Bricks 2
Welcome to VFT6! Our first semifinal is complete, and Storm 2 and Wedge Devolution are in the grand final, but because these are called semifinals, theres a second one coming up, which will add another two robots to the final four! Who are the upcoming eight heat winners?
Second seed WX 6.0 is a low invertable box, and it still has interchangable weaponry - two scoops, Hardox jaws, sprung skirts, a Tornado-like anti crusher bar, a vertical drum, front forks and a concave scoop for spinners!

Clusterbot Black Chalkie Beard was its opponent in the heat final - NSBFR-X pitted Beard and then had a dull battle with Black, which it won 40-20!
Twenty-second seed Dervish V/ is a Barberous-like invertable cylinder, with the middle spinning at 2500rpm, and studded with carbon and titanium blades to painfully mash any armour it comes into contact with! In the first melee, Dervish V/ had a go at everyone, while Mega Masher 2 pitted Total B*****d and Dervish did the same to Wind Chiller! Scimiter faced the spinner in Round 2, and was overturned by it again and again until Dervish V/ hit the weak base and feasted on the innards within! The heat final had Mega Masher 2 in store, but Dervish V/ also turned it over repeatedly, doing the armour enough damage to mash Mega Masher 2 into submission!
Twenty-fourth seed Hypertension Mk2 is an invertable low box and it still has a flipper, which can flip 2500kg! It now runs slower, at 22mph, but can still push well with rubber wheels! In Round 1, it flipped TIRTASM and Tazbot all over the place with help from GeForce - both opponents hit the ground so many times they were killed! No Close Shave 2 was a mere toy for the 24th seed in Round 2 - flipped, rammed, and eventually pitted! A big surprise came in the heat final, when Hypertension Mk2 met Mass Disctruction Ultimate 3.1 - the former champ got some good hits in, but Hypertension flipped and rammed again, and MDU was sent into the pit!

Mother Of All Bricks 2 is a brick shaped robot that runs on 8 shuffling plates which take it to 18mph, and probably make a lot of noise too!

Typhoon 2 found it couldnt do much damage to MOAB2 in Round 2 - with constant pressure, the rammer tipped the RW champ on its side and left it for dead! Killotine Evo reappeared in the heat final - not strong enough to drag MOAB2, it was consigned to the pit as well!

Two lower seeds now clash - Dervish V/ and Hypertension Mk2!

Hypertension turned around to try and catch it, but Dervish V/ stayed ahead long enough to begin spinning again, so when Hypertension Mk2 hit it in the front, it was tilted upward again!
Dervish V/ pressed home its advantage, hitting Hypertension Mk2 in the corner to tilt it some more! It almost managed to stack the 24th seed against the wall, but Hypertension wasnt in the right position and slid back down, although it didnt escape fast enough to avoid being hit again! Smashed against the wall by this whack, it bounced back against Dervish V/ and was able to escape! Outrunning Dervish V/, Hypertension got far enough away to selfright safely, then came back towards its spinning opponent, again firing its flipper on impact! Dervish V/ flew away, its spinner now hitting the wall so it made a terrific flight back onto the floor! It was a safe distance from Hypertension Mk2 when it landed, and began its deadly spin again, but Hypertension hit it in the rear again and made it jump onto its body, putting it in the perfect position to be flipped towards the closed pit! As Dervish V/ bounced into the corner, Hypertension Mk2 reversed desperately into the pit release! The pit opened, but Dervish V/ was no longer over it, and began running away! Hypertension chased it down, managing to catch it and send it off balance with a flip! Another flip propelled Dervish V/ back towards the pit! With one more flip, the scratched but still living Hypertension Mk2 sent Dervish V/ directly over the pit, and it fell straight down!
CEASE!
HYPERTENSION MK2 GOES THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!
And now two non-seeds to finish off - Firestorm V and Mother Of All Bricks 2!
3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Firestorm V and Mother Of All Bricks 2 came into the centre of the arena - they ended up parallel to each other as they attempted to attack, and MOAB2s drill began wearing away at Firestorm Vs side! They turned around like that for a few moments, with Firestorm unable to surpass MOABs low skirts, so MOAB swerved off then came back, using its rear skirt to get under Firestorm V and give it a good hard ram into the east wall! The three time RW bronze medallist was trapped by the Brick, and pinned for a moment until MOAB2 shifted, and shuffled Firestorm V with speed into the arena disc! Firestorm V was left with a wound in its rear, but it was now free of MOAB2s grip! Unfortunately, the PTT4 bronze medallist was already coming for it, so Firestorm V turned into it, and they became parallel again! Almost immediately, MOAB2 broke away and rammed Firestorm V in the side with its drill, taking it on another short trip into the arena disc! Firestorm V was skimmed against the wall, allowing MOAB2 to move in and pin it, pressing the drill against the armour but not causing real damage! Slowly, Firestorm V began to slither out of this grip, but before it could, MOAB2 turned to block its reverse retreat, then got its rear skirt under again and rammed Firestorm V into the empty southwest corner! It pinned it there for a while, until it became bored and turned Firestorm V away, carrying it across the arena and into the east wall with a thud! Once MOAB2 had turned, the next stop was the pit release, and then on to the pit, sending Firestorm V down and out and Mother Of All Bricks 2 through!
CEASE!
MOTHER OF ALL BRICKS 2 GOES THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND!
Semi Final 2, Round 5:
WX 6.0 (2) vs NSBFR-X (10)
Hypertension Mk2 (24) vs Mother Of All Bricks 2
To give myself an advantage Ill use the lifting plate wedge. The drive power should hopefully get me under his skirts, so I can lift him up over once then try and get him down the pit once his wedge is useless.
