Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

The sooner I can get Storm 2 upside down the better. Once hes upside down, his pushing will be hindered...then I can ram him into walls, the disc thingy, the pit...anything.

OK. Thats it. Andys made the SWATbots hit list . (awesome duels BTW, Richie - WB )

SEMI-FINAL 1
ROUND 1
1) Achilles (25) VS Manic Monsoon (3)
Could be real close here - if Alex can get a grip, Achillesll win. If Dan can stick to the sides, Monsoonll win

2) Tempest Evil-er-oution (5) VS WEDGE DEVOLUTION (27)
Possibly my last chance for a VFT title and I get the former AJWars champ. Luverly :S. Tactics are to smash it into the walls before it can rev up (hopefully, the Hardox will hold up if I cant do this) and then try and cast it into the Pit.

3) Psyclone (17) VS Seggy the Third
Possibly Andy to slowly wear the interchangeable bot down

4) Orka Mk 4 VS Storm 2
Despite a valient effort, the whale gets outpushed by the RW World Champ

Storm 2s Tactics:
Against Orka Mk 4, I should be able to outpush it easily with greater force, I should be able to get under the front easily with no problem, and then bring Orka Mk 4 to the pit and drop it down, if I can get a side attack on it, this makes the job easier, either way, I should quickly and easily be able to get it down the pit. Should be interesting here.

Hypo Mk 2s tactics.

CHARGE! Im not worried about the drum, as they have no chance of damaging the Hardox any more than scrathces. They cant push me around to get me in the pit either, unless they flip me in. Therefore, tactics are to always charge! Try to keep at the end unoccupied by the pit and throw them around. If and when w e get a chance to attack before they spin up, then ram them into the button and get them down it. Dont waste flips. Only flip if we have a chance of gettign them over. As for the other 7 fights, the winners are below:

Achilles
Tempest
Seggy
Orka
WX
Stratos-Fear
MOAB2

Tactics will be to go with the 6 CM teeth for stability, and go for side attacks to try and shock kill Wedge Devo, seeing I wont get through the armour. Other than that, keep spinning so he cant come close, and stay away from the pit area and walls.

This is only the MK3 version of Orka.

Sorry I had read the match-up from Steves predictions. lol

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Had it BEEN the MK4, I may have been slightly more confident. MK3 doesnt have anything that can grapple or hold.

I been thinking, that I will do down the passive wedge direction, and if there was an active weapon rule, I believe the wedge has a little pointless flail inbedded within it

My American style Roleplay (I need practise):
As soon as active is sounded, drive straight at it, no holding back, if Im going out, I want it to be in glory. Hopefully once hit, the intial hit shouldnt be so bad, then keep on top of it, bulling it, eventally pitting it if the polycarbonate chassis holds out.

SEMI FINAL 2
WX 6.0 (2) vs The Ultimate Wedge
Wedge, wedge, wedge, push, push, push, flip, flip. Any of those combinations will do.

Firestorm V vs Mother Of All Bricks 2
Ram into the sides and back of Firestorm and and show it the 4 walls of the arena or the bottom of the pit!

Psyclone (17) vs Seggy The Third

I€™m going to keep the spinner on low power through the majority of the match, so that I can cause some damage but also I wont get shocked out or bounced around a lot. Hopefully with this tactic I can cause some damage and stay safe. If I€™m running behind towards the end of the match I€™ll crank up to full power and do some smashing.
Sorry about the chassis thing. But maybe if there were some rules stating I would need to include a chassis, thing would be clearer. Just an idea€¦ :wink:

(This isn€™t aimed at Richard by the way, I mean generally for all of us. The rules for stats the previous council decided on were very basic and poor IMO)

*End Rant*

WX 6.0 (2) vs The Ultimate Wedge

I don€™t know what the difference in power is between the LEM130€™s and LEM200€™s but I presume it€™s quite a bit. The only thing I can think of doing it so put the scoop on and the skirts on the other sides. The skirts should hopefully prevent The Ultimate Wedge getting under so it cannot ram or flip. I€™ll use the scoop hoping it will give me the heavier front end and therefore a better chance of getting under if it€™s a head to head ram.

Well, looks like my two robots are going to be going out at this stage. A great series so far Mr. S and I hope there will be another series in the future!

If you felt that way Andy, maybe you could have suggested the chasis thing? Anyway, theres no rule against adding more info than the writer wants, is there.

[andrewj]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Not really, if I thought it was needed I would have included it.

[pcbore]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Considering your shape, you pretty much have to stick everything to the base anyways. You could stick a chasis in, but it would still be attached to the base and not much else, so its a waste of weight really.

[andrewj]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

If there was one I guess it would just be support for the shell. Anyway, chassis or not Im gonna lose. :P
