Velociraptor's Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Wooty fight.

Seggys set-up for round 2 will be the invertible flipping arm, and the main main of attack is to get around the side to get underneath that 3mm ground clearance and keep flipping it, trying to get it onto the wall or into the pit.

Saying nothing, cos Steve knows what my reply would be :wink:

Except to say, great fights Richard

Thanks for the wootiness! Would have done this a bit sooner, but the batteries on my wireless mouse needed replacing.

With all the seeds gone, were guaranteed an unseeded semifinalist! Will Baldur or Seggy The Third (with an invertable flipping arm) reach the heat final and get the chance to be that semifinalist?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
The charge by both robots was followed by a quick turn as each aimed to get under the sides of the other. Being faster, the invertable flipping arm of Seggy The Third met the side of Baldur and it pushed against the low clearance! A moment later, it was under and the arm flicked Baldur up and over! Baldur selfrighted, only for Seggy to crash into its side and shove it in a straight path into the arena disc, which did little to the armour and only sent Baldur spinning away! It quickly turned and charged Seggy, but Seggy was able to catch it in the sides again and invert it! As Baldur was selfrighting, Seggy rammed it into the wall, but it was back on its wheels, so Seggy overturned it against the wall! Baldur fired its arm and came sliding down, but with its rear facing the wall, it couldnt get back over, allowing Seggy to watch its struggling in bemusement! After a while, Seggy moved into the arena centre and did a victory spin for the crowd - but it wasnt victory yet, as once 30 seconds had passed, it was required to help Baldur or the match would be paused! So Seggy came in on Baldur from the side and the lifting arm quickly righted it! Baldur immediately spun into Seggys side so they became parallel to each other, but Seggys rear knocked against the wall and slowed its turn, so Baldur could get its scoop into the skirts!
Unfortunately, the low skirts proved inpenetrable to Baldurs scoop, but it did push Seggy The Third round into the disc! The disc knocked Seggy loose and left it at Baldurs side, and it was quick to take advantage of this position! Pushing, it got the arm under Baldur again and lifted it again! As Baldur rested on its side for a moment before beginning to topple over, Seggy rammed it into the wall again! Baldur selfrighted, leaving it with its rear facing Seggy, and the more experienced robot came in from behind and rammed Baldur across the arena, tilting it forwards so the scoop scraped the floor! They ended up over the closed pit, and Seggy quickly flipped Baldur again, in a position where the wall once again blocked its selfright! There was nothing else for Seggy The Third to do but run into the pit release and end Baldurs struggling to selfright!
CEASE!

SEGGY THE THIRD GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!

Will Overkill or Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator also make it to the heat final?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
The competitors came into the arena centre, ROTROTB ready to scoop Overkill into its dustpan, but it was Overkill that swerved, dodged the hammer as it came down and got its wedge under the side, so it could shove ROTROTB into the wall and pin it while it brought the blade down, doing nothing to the Hardox! But ROTROTB brought its own hammer down, the stick part coming down on Overkills blade and bending it a little! Its tyres brought off the ground, Overkill couldnt move, but neither could ROTROTB! Overkill activated its blade, and slowly its wedge began edging out from under ROTROTB as its body rotated! But before Overkills wheels touched the ground again, ROTROTBs did, and it dragged Overkill to the arena disc and turned it so a tyre was slashed! Next, it took Overkill into the southwest corner, released the hammer and quickly took Overkill into the corner! Overkill ran around a short distance but was unable to stop the mighty hammer coming down on its body, making a crowd-pleasing dent! As Overkill struggled to get out, the hammer came down over it and hit the floor, making ROTROTB bounce! Overkill was tilted as ROTROTB went up, and spun on one wheel, getting under ROTROTBs side as it came down! Now ROTROTB was the one pinned, and having the weak punishment of Overkills blade coming down on it!
ROTROTB tried escaping by firing its hammer, which knocked it away from the wall but not off Overkills wedge! Overkill turned and began shoving ROTROTB from the rear, swinging its blade - as they went, ROTROTB brought its hammer back to the front and bounced, then fired backwards but missed Overkills body, and soon it was against the wall again! It fired its hammer again, and was knocked onto Overkills right tyre! Quickly turning so it was under ROTROTBs side, Overkill manouvered it back into the wall and began using the blade again, as ROTROTB fired the hammer one more time, but didnt bounce enough to escape! Overkill just kept its victim against the wall and continued whacking the side, ROTROTB trying and failing to free itself again with its hammer! The 30 second time limit on a pin ran out eventually, and Overkill reversed to free ROTROTB - and then had to retreat when its opponent seemed intent on scooping it up! Overkill then moved towards the advancing ROTROTB, aiming to get under the side again, but ROTROTB dodged and brought Overkill into its scoop, a second before the hammer hit home on a tyre, denting it and tipping Overkill!
As ROTROTB brought its hammer back, Overkill spun out of the scoop, but ended up on its side! It quickly moved the blade and came down, but ROTROTB was quickly on it, although it missed with the hammer! As Overkill overturned itself so it could use its blade again, ROTROTB came in from behind and managed to land a blow on the body, deepening the dent and slowing Overkill down as it spun out of the scoop again! ROTROTB followed it and the hammer came down again, bashing Overkill for a third and fatal time! The previous Battlebots finalist was dead, eliminated by the damage potential of ROTROTBs hammer! ROTROTB scooped the corpse into the southwest corner, pinned it for a while, then left it once it was sure there was no life left!
CEASE!

I know Ive been a touch lax in my encouragement of late, so...

Extreme wootation of the fighting kind

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Wooty fights.

Set-up for heat final will either be the hardox wedge or the drum. Depends on what Steve says.

Steve - 2
Overkill - zip

HEAT G
ROUND 3
REVENGE OF THE REVENGE OF THE BLUDGEONATOR VS Seggy the Third
Basic tactics here - slip around the side n rear and batter the shell a while (lets try and get a few potshots on those wheel guards ). Once Ive got a few good blows in, Ill grapple on and feed it to either the Arena Disc or the Pit.

Go Richie! Go Richie!

Heat H is coming up, I can tell. Here are my tactics.

Dantomkia (me) Vs Mortis Vs Razer (31) Vs Tough as Nails

Keep away from TaN & Razer, flip Mortis OOTA & maybe pit either TaN or Razer. I gotta keep outta trouble in that fight

Tom, not to be rude, but do you have a memory problem or something? YOU CANT DOO OOTAS!

[tom_b]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Oh yeah, well, pit Mortis & then pit of the other 2

[Guest]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

I will be using the skirts and the scoop.

Get around the sides, underneath and push into arena disc, walls, pit.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

So will the hammer or the interchangable weapons get through to the semis - Revenge Of Revenge Of The Bludgeonator or Seggy The Third (using a steel scoop with a flail)?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Seggy The Third had a faster start than ROTROTB, and turned faster as well, getting behind ROTROTB as it also turned, and then giving it a good shove! ROTROTB fired its hammer, but bounced itself into a sideways position on the scoop, and found itself against the north wall! Firing the hammer again, it whacked the steel scoop and left a dent in it, and bounced itself off! But before it could turn its front into Seggy, the other robot moved and got under its side, ramming it quickly into the pit corner so ROTROTB flew onto Seggys top! The hammer came flying down and bashed the top edge! Seggy quickly reversed and ROTROTB began sliding off, but it landed another hammer strike before it found itself on the scoop again! Pointing itself in the right direction, Seggy accelerated its prey towards the arena disc! Using its hammer to bounce again, ROTROTB went up and caused Seggy to run right past it! It chased Seggy, who stopped, then realised the situation and carried on going to outpace ROTROTB! Once at the south wall, it came charging back, missed another hammer hit and got to the side, proceeding to deliver ROTROTB to the disc and send it bouncing across the floor, on its side and rear! Seggy reversed towards it, hoping to overturn it, but ROTROTB had already landed on its back! The hammer selfrighted it quickly, but it ended up landing on Seggys scoop! Carrying ROTROTB more carefully this time, Seggy took it straight back to the arena disc!
ROTROTB entertainingly skimmed off again, with only scratched armour, but while it wasnt flipped, it did bounce, spinning like a frisbee! Seggy The Third came after it again, and caught it with its wheels off the ground, pinning it against another wall! The pin lasted a while, with ROTROTB firing its hammer twice and managing to shift itself onto the side of the scoop, forcing Seggy to drive it into a corner to keep a hold on it, and tilt it upwards using the wall. But when ROTROTB fired its hammer again, it came down on Seggys body again, and the hammer hit the scoop! A quick reverse from Seggy got ROTROTB off, so Seggy could pin it from behind again! Turning around, it began taking ROTROTB towards the pit release! ROTROTB fired the hammer again, but Seggy caught it as it bounced and carried on, shoving it hard against the release! As they turned towards the pit, ROTROTB tried its hammer once more, but was easily caught by Seggy and rushed into the pit, leaving Seggy The Third the second unseeded semifinalist!
CEASE!

SEGGY THE THIRD GOES THROUGH TO THE SEMI FINALS!

Next time on VFT6, 15th seed The Crashing Bore will show Constrictor, In-terror-fied and Storm 2 that age doesnt always mean weakness!
And 31st seed Razer will have an all-real-robot clash with Dantomkia, Mortis and Tough As Nails!

[steven_mcg]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Nice performance from RotRotB there, I must say

HEAT H
ROUND 1
1) Constrictor VS In-Terror-Fired VS Storm 2 VS The Crashing Bore (15)
Storm batters Doms bot and the Bore bashes ITF up to win on a judges decision

2) Dantomkia VS Mortis VS Razer (31) VS Tough as Nails
Mortis gets sent 6 ft under thanks to DTK, while Razer crunches TAN up a bit and casts it into the abyss as well

Top stuff as always!

[pcbore]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Not sure about what In-Terror-Fied is like, so Ill go for Constrictor first. Its got plenty of places I can get under safely, and a nice flat top, ideal for latching on to.

Whos controlling Storm 2? Im not suggesting a team up as such as an Ill leave you alone of you leave me alone pact

[dinowarrior]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

My heat will be after this one. And, seeing as everyone ELSE is going for Dominator 2, I might as well join in.

After that, I think Aaron and I should do a team-up on Disco Dancer (I do NOT want to attack Tengu and have ANOTHER bot torn to shreds).
