Steve I know this sounds complex, but how thick is the saw on SD IV?

IIRC, I think the saws meant to be around 2.5 to 3mm thick. But the good thing is if an opponents GC is lower than that, I can just keep nibbling away at the armoring until a sufficient gap is opened up by the disc to let it slip under

...You mean nibble away at the entire base panel?

Or you could just ram at it very hard to get the saw underneath it, by lifting it up a bit.

But maybe the saw wouldnt last that long.

Round 2 comes along again, with SD IV and Mega Masher 2 going head to head!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
The fight began with the usual run to the centre and attempt to reach each others sides, and it was Mega Masher 2 who won out in the brief dance! SD IV found itself being given a good shove, in a curved path so they glanced the wall, but Mega Masher 2 was able to keep pushing, until they came into the east wall! Mega Masher 2 swerved off to try and ram SD IV into the pit release, but found the 6th seed going for the sides! It managed to dodge the assault, and reach SD IVs side again, while taking a glance from the saw! MM2 shoved its victim along once again until they were against the north wall! This time, when Mega Masher 2 released it and SD IV tried to attack, it was in the perfect position to be rammed in a path to the pit release! Turning SD IV around in the corner, Mega Masher 2 tried to take it around to the now open pit, but they hit the west wall! SD IVs saw glanced the wall, making it bounce, but Mega Masher 2 caught it with the wedge again and pinned it against the wall!
Unfortunately, as Mega Masher 2 was trying to turn SD IV towards the pit, the hole closed! Mega Masher 2 immediately reversed back towards the release, while SD IV came cautiously after it. The two robots then ran towards each other, swerving before the collision, and again Mega Masher 2 was at SD IVs side! It rammed SD IV into the pit release corner, and again the saw sliced the wall and deflected SD IV, but in just the right position for Mega Masher 2 to drive it to the pit! They ended up over the edge, but Mega Masher 2 turned so its wedge nudged SD IV into a fatal position that sent it toppling! The sixth seed was no more!
CEASE!

MEGA MASHER 2 GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!

Dervish V/ and Scimiter are now put in the arena together, but which one will come out alive?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Scimiter, with its hydraulic lifter up, immediately rushed at the 22nd seed, causing Dervish V/ to back off so it could get spinning! They met with a crash, Dervish V/s spinner meeting the inside of the wedge so Scimiter was knocked up and took Dervish with it! Scimiter began bringing the lifter down, but it hit the spinner again, knocking Scimiter again so Dervish V/ could wheel out of its grip and reverse away to spin itself up! Undeterred, Scimiter came running at it again, but this time Dervish V/ turned into it, so Scimiter received a punishing smack in the side, almost going over! Another whack from Dervish V/ smashed the polycarb base and sent it rolling, but Dervish hit it again before it could go back onto its wheels of its own accord, and then again, rolling it towards the wall! Scimiter quickly began sliding down the wall, only for Dervish to knock it up again, leaving it on its back! Scimiter used its lifter to turn itself over, but Dervish just turned into the lifter to try and damage it - the lifters survived, and Scimiter was back on terra firma! It immediately turned to attack Dervish V/, and the 22nd seed came to greet it, managing to land a side shot again! Scimiter rolled over just enough for the Hardox to shield the base as another strike from Dervish V/ sent it onto its wheels again!
Dervish V/ caught up with Scimiter as it was turning around to attack again, and glanced the rear, knocking it up a little and allowing Dervish to get in a proper blow which exposed the baseplate, which was ruthlessly bashed a moment later by the spinning drum, causing Scimiter to land on its back again! Dervish V/ again had to hit the Hardox of Scimiter and roll it onto its wheels - again it glanced Scimiter as it got moving, causing it to slowly go up but not quite over! The polycarb base was again assaulted by Dervish V/, cracking it and causing fatal damage to the sweet innards within! Once another smash from the 22nd seed had brough Scimiter to its wheels again, it was clear the barrel shaped robot was going nowhere, allowing for a victory spin from Dervish V/ during the countdown!
CEASE!

DERVISH V/ GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!

*sends Gyrate to sort out the legs on the laser cannon, then gives Chris the pint-in-face treatment before hes disqualified for inability to drive Mega Masher 2*

Any tactics, Chris?

*kicks Richard in the shin for doing that, before realising doing so could largly affect what happens in the fight*

Ram Dervish into any possible submission.

One word: Owch:sad:

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Im going for a shock, Mega Masher 2 to ram the very wide Dervish 5 into the pit, via ramming around the rear end, it cant turn easily at full power, so that it has a disadvantage at once.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Daniel Stickler and Chris Mason both already have one robot each in the semis - will Dervish V/ be celebrating with Manic Monsoon, or will Mega Masher 2 be going for celebratory drinks with Orka Mk3?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Dervish V/ began backing off again to allow itself spinning time, and as Mega Masher 2 came at it, it turned for a side hit! Mega Masher 2 was tilted like Scimiter, and looked like it might rest on its side! Dervish V/ stopped that by hitting MM2 in the underbelly and throwing it against the wall! As MM2 began sliding onto its wheels, it was struck by the 22nd seed again, but the wall prevented it from really tilting, so it was able to run away, inverted and getting a clip from Dervish in the rear! A moment later, MM2 came back at its opponent, its inverted wedge shoving one wheel! Unfortunately, this aided Dervish in turning around and striking the 5mm titanium, doing it no good! It did Mega Masher 2 some good, though, allowing it to fall back onto its wheels - when Dervish attacked again, it hit the rear disc and took a scratch! Mega Masher 2 reversed at Dervish V/ with the disc, hitting the drum and right wheel hub! Dervish tried to attack but was smacked on the wheel again, although it managed to turn into Mega Masher 2s side with its other wheel and hit! Almost settling on its side, Mega Masher 2 became inverted again, and its side armour became even more slashed by Dervish V/ seconds later!
Mega Masher 2 again escaped at this point, running away from Dervish V/ and using its bar to selfright, so its wedge was in play! It swerved round as Dervish V/ approached, then ran round its opponent and tried to ram it into the wall! The wedge hit the drum and both robots bounced back, then ran at each other again! In trying to reach the side, Dervish V/ ran up the wedge and hit the side top, giving itself and MM2 a knock! Going for MM2 again, it just managed a nick before Mega Masher 2 was off again and trying to ram in the side, but Dervish V/ took advantage and got in another side bash which tilted the box wedge! Another hit sent MM2 rolling all the way over, and taking another strike before it could run away, tilting it again and causing it to finally rest on its side! Fortunately, it could use its bar, and even more fortunately, it had righted itself before Dervish V/ could hit the bar - but the 22nd seed could still hit the armour, and tilt Mega Masher 2 again, to slash the underbelly! MM2 bounced a little and began coming down onto its wheels, and again it was struck! It landed on its wheels after the hit and ran away to right itself again! Dervish V/ faced Mega Masher 2 down as it rushed in to ram, and swerved round to hit the side and bounce off again! Mega Masher 2 also bounced back, but did no more moving after that - the repeated attacks of Dervish V/s drum on the armour had taken its toll! Another victory spin was in order for Dervish V/!
CEASE!

DERVISH V/ GOES THROUGH TO THE SEMI FINALS!

Next time on VFT6, fourth seed Killotine Evo will give Mother Of All Bricks 2, Terrorhurtz and Wrecktangle a good axing!
And twentieth seed Typhoon 2 will try to get another trophy, but first it needs to beat Ringmaster, Well Buy You A New One Tomorrow Mrs Brown and Ymir!

Dont think that was for kicking me in the shin, Chris - I was wearing shinpads! You need to keep safe in the pits, after all!
