AJ, we have GOT to stop meeting each other.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Well the way I designed it, X is the striker and I is the goalie. It just wouldnt work any other way. X is a nippy lil thing, so I hope to be able to swerve around both machines and score with spring power

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Your going to try to swerve around 4-Wheel-Steer, with a skid-steer machine?

[pcbore]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Considering:

A) you havent really said how 4-Wheel-Steer moves (does it turn? translate? What?).

B) Havent said anything about it in laymans turns and instead use a shed-load of technospeak.

C) Dont even seem that confident it works if that comment in Weaknesses about Kustom is anything to go by and

D) its all to do with driving skill no matter what system you use, yes, thats exactly what I intend to try and do.

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Hi all, Ive been busy keeping atop of my college course and the latest F1 news, so yeah, Ill go along with the tactics, Martyn.

[velociraptor]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Sorry for the delay, everyone - Ive been taking it easy a bit since finishing the exams.

Welcome to VFT6, where were about to start our first ever Football tournament! Eight two-robot teams of would-be Beckhams are ready to play against each other, until one team is left to walk away with the VFT6 Football Trophy, which is more than the England team has managed since 1966! Stupid referee at the Portugal match...

Our first match has Biohazard and El Persistance (neither in any particular role) hoping to score against Little Sister and TIRTASM (Little Sister as striker, TIRTASM in goals)!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Biohazard and El Persistance both made a move for the ball, as did Little Sister, resulting in all three of them colliding, and the ball ending up wedged under Biohazards lifted skirts! The three struggled for a moment before Biohazard broke away, but left the ball behind, allowing Little Sister to catch it! El Persistance rammed Little Sister in the side and knocked it off course, but since the arm was lifted, Little Sister escaped quickly and went after the ball. Biohazard and El Persistance charged after it, but before they could catch up, Little Sister knocked the ball into the unguarded goal, just before El Persistance slammed into it to try and stop it!
1-0 to Little Sister and TIRTASM!
As the match began again, Biohazard stayed around the goal while El Persistance and Little Sister went for the ball! In the impact, the ball rolled away, and it was El Persistance who picked it up, but struggled to get it under the arm! Little Sister was alongside to pressure it, but couldnt get round to get the ball! Sending the ball rolling, El Persistance ran after it and just started nudging it along with its wedge, towards the enemy goal! It tried a run to get past TIRTASM, who came out and collided with it, causing the ball to roll away! Little Sister and El Persistance both ran into the wall in the rush to catch the ball, and it bounced away from them - Little Sister went after it and also adopted a nudging technique, having no way to really control the ball. Eventually, it reached Biohazard, and tried to run the ball in, but just ran it into Biohazards skirt! However, the ball rolled back off, and with a nudge from Little Sister, it crossed the line!
2-0 to Little Sister and TIRTASM!
At the second restart, both robots rushed into the ball, but went a little off and got locked together while the ball rolled away! El Persistance pulled away from Little Sister and reversed into the ball, sending it against the wall, so it could turn and get it under the arm! Little Sister ran into El Persistances rear, but couldnt get under the skirting! This allowed El Persistance to run along with the ball, but a little slower than normal as it pressed the arm down on it, allowing Little Sister to catch up as it went for TIRTASMs goal! There was a bit of dodging, which resulted in El Persistance losing its grip on the ball! Little Sister immediately went for it, but also lost its grip on it - both robots advanced and collided again! Shoving Little Sister aside, El Persistance got the ball on its wedge, but it was facing in the wrong direction. It turned itself and the ball around, and when Little Sister rammed it in the side, it managed to catch it again, and run at TIRTASM! TIRTASM aimed to stop it head on, so El Persistance dodged. However, the speedy TIRTASM reversed and the ball bounced off its side! Little Sister came in and steered the ball away from El Persistance, but got a shove so it couldnt go after it itself! As the two strikers went for it again, El Persistance got there first and knocked it towards Biohazard, who managed to catch it and run at TIRTASM itself, with El Persistance blocking Little Sister! Unfortunately, TIRTASM came out again and stopped Biohazard, ramming it in the lifted skirts and sending the ball rolling away from the goal! So El Persistance rushed in and gave the ball a knock, but TIRTASM responded quickly and deflected it again! Little Sister and El Persistance both ran the ball into the wall as they struggled to take hold of it, with Biohazard coming in to try and help its teammate! As they struggled, Little Sister eventually tried using its flipper to get it out - it successfully sent the ball flying back, but also unintentionally gave El Persistance a tilt, and was given a yellow card! Little Sister reversed out and managed to get its rear into the ball as Biohazard reversed after it! Outpacing it, Little Sister aimed for the unguarded goal - but the ball hit the bar and bounced off! Little Sister went for it, but now Biohazard was firmly guarding the goal and El Persistance was coming in for a tackle! With a crash, El Persistance collided with Little Sister, twisted the ball away from it, but then struggled to get it away from the wall! It eventually succeeded, and went for TIRTASM again with Little Sister in hot pursuit! TIRTASM again prepared to face it, so El Persistance tried to turn and aim the ball for the other side of the goal! But again, TIRTASM sped across the goal and deflected the ball, so El Persistance had another try! With the ball under its arm again, it struggled to get past TIRTASM, and was still doing so at the final whistle!
CEASE!

LITTLE SISTER & TIRTASM WIN 2-0!

Next into the arena are Dervish V/ and Revenge Of Revenge Of The Bludgeonator on one side (neither in any particular role) and In-terror-fied and Windiest Killer Just Got Windier on the other (again, neither in a role)!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
All four players made a rush for the ball this time - Dervish V/ and Interrorfied got there first, with Interrorfied using its jaws to knock the ball towards WKJGW, who immediately charged with the ball, getting past ROTROTB and sending itself and the ball into the back of the net!
1-0 to In-terror-fied and Windiest Killer Just Got Windier!
On this start, only In-terror-fied and WKJGW went for the ball and began shoveling it towards Dervish V/ and ROTROTB, who had remained at their goal. As they came in, ROTROTB blocked them and caught the ball in its shovel! Shoving both of the other team aside, it went for the goal, with Interrorfied and WKJGW going after it! They caught up and shoved it in the side, but the ball remained in the shovel! In-terror-fied tried to reach the ball with its jaws, but found itself almost being shoveled up by ROTROTB - WKJGW saved it by coming underneath the side and trying to shove ROTROTB into its own goal! But the ball rolled out of the shovel, and Dervish V/ accelerated towards it! Before In-terror-fied and WKJGW could catch it, it had run the ball into their goal!
1-1!
The third start, and now ROTROTB and In-terror-fied made a move for the ball while Dervish V/ and WKJGW guarded the goals! In-terror-fied got there first and tried to clamp it in its jaws, but they were too slim and the ball rolled out, allowing ROTROTB to catch it! In-terror-fied quickly caught up with it, so ROTROTB tried turning away from it - as it was doing so, Dervish V/ came out to help, ran into ROTROTBs scoop and steered the ball away from Interrorfied! ROTROTB blocked Interrorfied long enough for Dervish V/ to run towards WKJGW, who charged at it, passed underneath and knocked the ball away! All four went for it, with WKJGW getting there first - it began moving the ball along the wall, but ROTROTB caught it, and as WKJGW pushed against it, the ball rolled into the shovel! ROTROTB turned away to go for the goal, but Interrorfied rammed it to stop it! Dervish came in to help again, collecting the ball from the scoop and keeping ahead of its opponents long enough to send the ball into their net!
2-1 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
ROTROTB and Interrorfied both acted as strikers again, and again Interrorfied reached the ball first, knocked it away from ROTROTB with its jaws and steered it towards Dervish V/! Dervish V/ came out as it got closer and used its body to block it - Interrorfied pushed Dervish V/ back, but lost its grip on the ball, and ROTROTB collected it, with both Dervish and In-terror-fied coming after it! Again In-terror-fied caught up, and again ROTROTB turned away, but now Dervish was behind it as well, and Interrorfied was able to shove it in the side so the ball rolled out! But Interrorfied had to release ROTROTB to catch it, and ROTROTB recollected the ball first, aiming for the goal! As it looked like Interrorfied would stop it again, Dervish again ran into the scoop and went to score itself, but again a charge from WKJGW caused it to lose the ball! However, Dervish was able to collect it again first, but this time In-terror-fied moved to block it, and stopped it from scoring! WKJGW retrieved the ball as it rolled away, but was blocked by ROTROTB joining the scrum and taking the ball, and steering it into the goal before it could be stopped!
3-1 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
This time, Dervish went to face In-terror-fied and get the ball -as they collided, Interrorfied blocked Dervish with its jaws, caught the ball against the wall and managed to clamp it! Dervish tried to pin In-terror-fied but couldnt, as it went to score! However, ROTROTB blocked In-terror-fied with its scoop! In-terror-fied went to go around ROTROTBs back, and managed to outpace it and deliver the ball over the line!
3-2 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
Dervish V/ and Interrorfied were the strikers again, and once again, Interrorfied used its jaws to steer the ball away towards the wall! Dervish tried to block it, but In-terror-fied was still able to reach the ball - however, the ball rolled away when it tried to clamp it, and time ran out before anyone could catch it!
CEASE!

DERVISH V/ AND REVENGE OF THE REVENGE OF THE BLUDGEONATOR WIN 3-2!

Match Number 3 features WX 6.0 and Forcepower Turbo (WX in goals, FT as striker) against Leprosy Infection and Mega Masher 2 (MM in goals, LI as striker)!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
In the centre, Forcepower Turbo and Leprosy Infection immediately rushed at the ball, and it ended up between them! They struggled for a moment, then Forcepower began shoving LI backward, with the ball still between them! LI would not stand for this and twisted, trying to move the ball out of Forcepowers scoop! It managed to get it past the flaps and began running towards the opposing goal - Forcepower ran after it but being the same speed, it couldnt catch up! As LI came closer, WX 6.0 came to greet it - LI tried to turn away but was hit in the front corner, so the ball drifted out of its grasp! WX 6.0 turned and attempted a pass to Forcepower, who was coming around to get the ball, and it was successful, though almost resulted in an own goal! Dodging LI, Forcepower charged across the arena at Mega Masher 2, who remained in its side on position. Forcepower aimed for the small gap and didnt get the ball through it, but slammed into MM2! MM2 moved to plug the gap, but Forcepower shoved against it, and eventually pushed MM2 back enough to get the ball across the line!
1-0 to WX 6.0 and Forcepower Turbo!
As the match began again, both Leprosy Infection and Forcepower Turbo went for the ball, but as LI got to it, it turned to knock the ball away from Forcepower, who was coming straight on! Unfortunately, this manouvre meant that Forcepower accidentally got LI in the side, preventing it from getting the advantage! Instead, Forcepower turned and got to the ball first, but this time, as it manouvred to go for the goal, LI tried a tackle, managing to twist into Forcepowers wedge and knock the ball away! As LI tried to twist off Forcepowers wedge, the ball rolled towards Mega Masher 2, who came out of the goal for a moment and knocked it. Getting ahead of Forcepower, LI got the ball in its C scoop, and ran towards the goal with Forcepower in hot pursuit! WX 6.0 came out as Leprosy Infection approached, running to catch it head on, but LI turned and just got hit in the side! The ball rolled away, but LI caught up with it before Forcepower could! WX 6.0 reversed, and just managed to block LIs way to the goal! With Forcepower pressuring it on one side, LI tried to push past the two opponents and score, and eventually, it nudged the ball through a gap! Forcepower Turbo went for the ball, but Leprosy Infection ran onto the scoop and helped to send the ball rolling over the line before WX 6.0 could stop it!
1-1!
The match resumed, and again Leprosy Infection tried to turn the ball away from Forcepower Turbo, but Forcepower had expected that! Turning faster, it knocked the ball away itself, and quickly caught it! As Forcepower turned, LI tried to tackle it again, but Forcepower turned away and charged at Mega Masher 2 again! LI couldnt get in the right position to take the ball away, allowing Forcepower to make its way, with the ball in its possession, to the goal. It hit Mega Masher 2 hard, and the ball jumped but remained in the scoop. Soon, with Forcepower using its superior power to shove Mega Masher 2 into its goal, the ball was over the line again!
2-1 to WX 6.0 and Forcepower Turbo!
Once again, the two strikers attempted to obtain the ball by turning at the last moment - but they ended up turning in opposite directions! However, with its more solid scoop pushing past Forcepower Turbos flaps, it was Leprosy Infection who got possession of the ball, and began making its way towards WX 6.0s goal! Forcepower reversed after it, and as they were at an angle to each other when they made contact, Forcepower gave LI a nudge that made it lose the ball! However, when Forcepower turned, both robots were even, and both struggling to reach the ball! WX 6.0 came out to lend its teammate a hand by nudging it in its direction, allowing Forcepower to break away and capture the ball in its scoop! LI ran after Forcepower as it charged towards the goal - as it came in, Mega Masher 2 turned to try and keep Forcepower from getting the ball over the line! However, this opened up a gap, and Forcepower turned to exploit it! But as it came in, MM2 turned again and closed the gap, so the ball ended up on MM2s wedge, then sliding off and to the side of the goal! Both Forcepower Turbo and Leprosy Infection went to get it, but as they struggled against each other, time ran out! WX 6.0 and Forcepower Turbo both moved into the centre and spun in victory, to cheers from the amused crowd!
CEASE!

WX 6.0 & FORCEPOWER TURBO WIN 2-1!

The final first round match has 4 Wheel Steering and Seggy The Third (both robots as strikers) against specially designed X and I (X as striker, I in goals)!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
4 Wheel Steering, Seggy the Third and X all made for the ball - 4WS and X collided at the ball, and 4WS looked set to carry it away until X fired its panels and shot the ball away! However, when the ball bounced off the wall, Seggy reached it first and started moving towards Is goal! X tried to follow, but was blocked by 4WS, allowing Seggy to reach I! The width of I meant it could block Seggy - when the ball drifted into Is clutches, it sprung it out of Seggys scoop, into the wall and away! X ran after it, eventually catching it in the corner, but 4WS came in from behind, pushing X off the ground to reach the ball, and eventually doing so! It sped away with the ball in its scoop and went for I itself, but was blocked! Trying again, it was blocked again, but went into Is rear side and pushed, allowing the ball over the line!
1-0 to 4 Wheel Steering and Seggy The Third!
With Seggy behind them, X and 4WS came together on the ball again, and again X managed to steer the ball within its panels and fire - the ball bounced off the wall and almost went into the enemy goal! X went for the ball, but Seggy got there first - however, X met it in the front, claimed the ball and managed to fire it into their goal!
1-1!
This time, as the strikers reached the ball, 4WS steered the ball away from X before it could fire, but still struggled to escape X pressuring it at the sides! So Seggy came in and accepted the ball, but as it went for I, X outpaced it, got its panels into the ball and fired it away! The ball bounced off the wall, off Seggy and away - being nearest, 4WS managed to catch it first and run it towards I before X could catch it! It dodged Is attempt to block and went for the other side, but I managed to keep it away long enough to get the ball in its panels! Now the ball flew over 4WSs body and away - X caught it, escaped a tackle attempt by Seggy and fired the ball into the enemy net again!
2-1 to X & I!
In the fourth collision, 4WS and X struggled for possession until X used its panels again, firing the ball into a corner! Seggy got possession, but had to run from X! Fortunately, 4WS came in to block X long enough for Seggy to attempt to score - unfortunately, I was there to swallow the ball and shoot it away from Seggy and into the wall, so X could claim it again! 4WS ran alongside X to keep it from scoring, but as they turned in a circle, X eventually had a clean shot, and took full advantage!
3-1 to X & I!
For the second time, 4WS successfully steered the ball away from Xs panels, but X reversed after it so 4WS ran into its side, and X used its side panels to send the ball over 4WS! But Seggy caught it before it could enter the goal, but then found itself facing X head on! The three strikers came together in a scrum, which quickly ended when X fired the ball away again - as it bounced off the wall, it very nearly went into the goal! 4WS got to it first, but X came after it and used its side panels again to fire the ball into the wall and across the arena! X followed and captured the ball, but Seggy came in and managed to steer it away! However, as the ball rolled away, X caught up with it first, fired it before 4WS could come in - and missed! The ball bounced off a corner and reentered the arena centre, allowing 4WS to get possession, and although it got pressure from X again, it escaped and went for I! I tried to snatch the ball, but 4WS dodged - I reversed and caught the ball before it could go in the other side, and shot it away again! Again, X caught it before anyone else, went closer to the enemy goal, so when it shot, it didnt miss!
4-1 to X & I!
As the match restarted again, X was able to shoot the ball away from 4WS and into the wall, but Seggy blocked it when it bounced off, preventing a goal-in-one, as it were! Seggy turned around and got the ball in its scoop, and went for I with 4WS and X coming in with it, but time ran out before anything more could happen!
CEASE!

X & I WIN 4-1!

Football, Round 2:
Little Sister & TIRTASM vs Dervish V/ & Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator
WX 6.0 & Forcepower Turbo vs X & I

[velociraptor]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

Wot, no tactics? Oh well. Daves right on his thread - it has been quiet here, hasnt it?

Lets begin the semi final footie matches with Little Sister & TIRTASM against Dervish V/ & Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator - the latter scored more goals in Round 1, but then again, the former didnt let any in!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Little Sister ran at the ball to find itself being joined there by Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator! Dervish V/ got there first, steered it away from Little Sister and towards TIRTASM! However, TIRTASM charged at Dervish, knocked it off balance, and it lost the ball! Little Sister managed to get the ball against the wall, but found itself facing ROTROTB! ROTROTB accidentally scooped up Little Sister as it went for the ball, but quickly moved away and captured the ball in its scoop! Suddenly, it was tackled by Little Sister and almost lost the ball, but Dervish picked it up and ran at TIRTASM again! It tried to turn away from TIRTASM as the goalkeeper charged, but still lost the ball when TIRTASM hit it in the side! ROTROTB managed to pick it up, but TIRTASM went for it - however, ROTROTB manouvered past it and got the ball over the line!
1-0 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
As the three strikers rushed the ball, Dervish got it and carried it quickly at TIRTASM - as TIRTASM came out, it dodged, losing the ball momentarily, but getting hold of it again, outpacing the advancing Little Sister and sending the ball in before TIRTASM knocked it!
2-0 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
For the third time, Dervish V/ got possession of the ball and went to score, but TIRTASM stayed closer to the goal this time. When Dervish came in, TIRTASM successfully blocked it, and the ball was stuck between them! ROTROTB moved in, shoving its teammate and the ball, but TIRTASM blocked that attempt as well! Dervish V/ manouvered itself and the ball out of the scoop, and went round to score, but collided with Little Sister and lost the ball - however, it was quickly picked up by ROTROTB, who was itself shoved in the back by Little Sister and lost possession! Little Sister went round ROTROTB to get the ball, but was scooped up along with the ball as ROTROTB tried to score again! TIRTASM blocked it, but ROTROTB went under it as well, so was able to shove it along and take the ball over the line!
3-0 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
When Dervish V/ again got the ball, dodged Little Sister and moved to score, TIRTASM blocked it with its body again, and this time twisted a little to shove the ball towards Little Sister! Little Sister picked it up, just missed being caught by ROTROTB, and ran all the way to the undefended goal before Dervish V/ could catch up with it!
3-1 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
Dervish V/ now hung around its teams goal while Little Sister and ROTROTB tried to get the ball - Little Sister reached the ball, but as it tried turning it away, it was accidentally scooped up by ROTROTB, who went after the ball and got it! However, Little Sister twisted and knocked the ball out of the scoop, before running out and after it, then going for Dervish V/! As it got close, Dervish V/ came and met it, running over the flipper and away with the ball, across the arena towards TIRTASM! With a quick movement and a shove, TIRTASM sent Dervish V/ reeling and the ball rolling, but ROTROTB picked it up! TIRTASM, however, ran into its side and shoved it away from the goal! ROTROTB twisted and went for the goal again, this time getting under TIRTASMs side again and taking the ball in!
4-1 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
On the next restart, Little Sister spun as it reached the ball, then dodged ROTROTB and went for the ball as it rolled towards the wall. But when it got there, ROTROTB was also there, getting the ball in its scoop! Little Sister shoved ROTROTB, but failed to make it lose the ball - it headed for TIRTASM, but was knocked off course by Little Sister again! After a struggle, ROTROTB manouvered to go for the goal, and when TIRTASM tried blocking it again, it ran into the scoop and could not stop another goal being scored!
5-1 to Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
Knowing there wasnt time for its team to catch up, Little Sister went for the ball anyway and flipped it for the crowd! The ball went up, and bounced on the floor, but didnt go in the goal! Dervish V/ came out momentarily to knock the ball towards ROTROTB, but Little Sister caught it instead! However, time ran out before a last minute goal could be scored!
CEASE!

DERVISH V/ AND REVENGE OF THE REVENGE OF THE BLUDGEONATOR WIN 5-1!

X & I scored more goals than anyone else in their Round 1 match, but that doesnt mean theyll beat WX 6.0 & Forcepower Turbo! Lets find out who else will go into the football final!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
X quickly reached the ball before Forcepower Turbo - manouvering it to a good spot, it fired! The ball rocketed towards the goal, but bounced off WX 6.0, and Forcepower got possession! However, as it went to score, X intercepted it, ran onto the wedge and shot the ball away, then ran after it as it ricocheted off the wall! It got hold of it, moved away from Forcepower, fired at the goal, and scored!
1-0 to X & I!
Again, X got to the ball first, and this time it ran around Forcepower to get closer to the goal before shooting. WX 6.0 tried to block it, but X just changed position and fired the ball in again!
2-0 to X & I!
When X got the ball again, Forcepower shifted to try and block it, but X was too fast and managed to get a good distance from it. It fired at the net again, but WX 6.0 successfully blocked it! Forcepower retrieved the ball before X, but X was soon upon it trying to get possession, resulting in a series of twists! Forcepower gradually moved closer to the goal, and when X ran onto the wedge, it came in at the wrong angle and missed the ball when it fired! Carrying X with it for a short distance, Forcepower managed to reach I, shoving it and the ball backwards! I fired and sent the ball away, but it had already crossed the line!
2-1 to X & I!
Getting possession of the ball immediately for the fourth time, X whizzed around Forcepower, just avoiding being caught on the wedge, and successfully shot the ball past WX 6.0 again!
3-1 to X & I!
Forcepower remained stationary as X got possession of the ball again and started moving into position, but then went after it! X saw it coming and ran with the ball, but was still too quick, and able to get far enough away to shoot at the goal! The ball flew, glanced WX 6.0s wedge and went in!
4-1 to X & I!
This time, Forcepower moved back towards the goal, and watched as X took the ball and started shifting to try and score! With the combined efforts of WX 6.0 and Forcepower Turbo, it couldnt find a gap, so took a risk and came in close. Forcepower came to meet it, but X successfully dodged - seeing a gap, it sent the ball in again!
5-1 to X & I!
Getting hold of the ball once again, X again had to try and get past WX and Forcepower to the goal! When they didnt shift, it tried shoving a gap through them, only for WX 6.0 to get underneath, causing it to lose the ball, so Forcepower could pick it up! It raced across the arena with X coming after it, and eventually Forcepower, X and I all came together around the goal! Is firing was better timed this time, and the ball went flying over Forcepower before it could cross the line! X beat Forcepower back to the ball, and again it shot it past WX 6.0s defence!
6-1 to X & I!
Forcepower now tried striking again, but still couldnt beat 25mph X to the ball! It moved backwards towards the goal as X lined up the shot - X fired when it wrongly thought it could, and the goal was defended by WX 6.0! Forcepower picked up the ball and went towards I, turning away as X inadvertently crashed into it! It found itself spinning around again to avoid X, and the ball ended up rolling away from it! It managed to catch it again, and gradually made its way towards the goal, but before it could score, X got in the right position and fired the ball away, into the wall, off it, then off Forcepower! X and Forcepower raced towards the ball - X got there first, but was pinned against the wall by Forcepower! It still attempted to score, but the shot was blocked, and WX 6.0 itself took the ball and ran for the goal! It got there, but I successfully stopped it and turned the ball back! Having escaped from Forcepower, X got the ball as Forcepower went to defend its goal, but then time ran out! X fired anyway just for fun, but failed to score an unofficial seventh goal when the ball bounced off Forcepower Turbo!
CEASE!

X & I WIN 6-1!

Football Final:
Dervish V/ & Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator vs X & I

[pcbore]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

I dont know if I speak for everyone here, but there just doesnt seem to be much point posting tactics for football beyond whos striking and who isnt.

Extremely wootified at how XI is doing though

[velociraptor]

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

I suppose youre right, Frank.

We come now to the VFT6 Football Final. Who will be the top scorers - Dervish V/ & Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator (having scored 8 goals and let in 3) or X & I (who have scored 10 goals and let in 2)?

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
Dervish V/ and Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator went for the ball, but stopped as X got there first! X tried to fire the ball between them, but it glanced off ROTROTBs side and away from the goal! Dervish V/ went for it, closely followed by X! As Dervish V/ got the ball in the corner and steered it away, X ran straight into it! They struggled with the ball, until ROTROTB suddenly came in and scooped under them both to claim it! Turning around, it went to score, but X was soon after it! ROTROTB tried twisting away, but eventually X caught up and ran into the scoop! Getting the ball, it fired, causing the ball to bounce off the inside of the scoop and over its body! Dervish V/ was quick to pick it up and charge at the goal, running alongside it to outpace I before twisting and sending the ball in!
1-0 to Dervish V/ & Revenge Of The Revenge Of The Bludgeonator!
The three strikers went for the ball again. Once again, X was the first to get possession, and this time when it fired, the ball went between Dervish and ROTROTB, straight into the goal!
1-1!
Dervish V/ and ROTROTB stayed closer together as they approached the ball, so when X got hold of it again, it had to steer around them. Dervish V/ went for it, but X managed to stay ahead long enough to get into position and fire the ball into the goal again!
2-1 to X & I!
Dervish V/ now hung around the goal and left ROTROTB to go for X as it claimed the ball again. Easily keeping ahead, X came close to the goal and fired, but Dervish V/ successfully used its body to deflect the ball! Unfortunately, it rolled back towards X, who went to the other side of the goal, but found ROTROTB approaching! It steered away, only to collide with Dervish V/! They struggled again until ROTROTB came in, and allowed Dervish V/ to gain the ball while it blocked X for a moment! Dervish V/ charged at I, but when I moved to block it, it had to change course quickly, and the ball rolled away from it! Catching up as X was coming in, Dervish went for the goal again, but I successfully blocked it again! Before Dervish could get the ball away, I used its panels on it, but this caused the ball to ricochet between the two robots until it rolled away and Dervish could pick it up! Steering away, Dervish ran into X - there was another wrestling match over the ball, but again, ROTROTB came in to end it, getting under and shoving the ball over the line!
2-2!
X got hold of the ball again, and when it did, ROTROTB moved back to join Dervish V/ in defending the goal! X danced around, looking for a gap, and eventually ROTROTB moved out to try and grab the ball! Taking its oppotunity, X dodged ROTROTB and sent the ball in before anyone could stop it!
3-2 to X & I!
Dervish and ROTROTB remained guarding their goal as X got possession and looked for a chance to score! Dervish and ROTROTB guarded the goal well, but they wouldnt score this way, so both moved tentatively out. X ran towards the gap, but had to reverse when ROTROTB went for it! Unfortunately, Dervish was coming in from the other side and collided with X, again keeping it there long enough for ROTROTB to plow in and claim the ball! But ROTROTB wasnt fast enough to keep ahead of X, who despite attempts to keep it off, ran into the scoop again! Unfortunately, it came in at the wrong angle to catch the ball, and ROTROTB was able to carry it towards I! It met I, who due to Xs body being in its way, couldnt reach the ball in ROTROTBs scoop, and stop it crossing the line!
3-3!
With time running out, the next goal would decide the winner! Again, Dervish and ROTROTB guarded their goal against the speedy X. When X went round the side to try and get it in, ROTROTB approached it. X immediately went in, but Dervish was guarding the goal from behind, and when X fired, it successfully deflected the ball! Both X and Dervish V/ ran at the ball, X getting there first but being pinned in by Dervish! Once again, ROTROTB had to intervene - X was shoved aside as ROTROTB passed the ball to Dervish V/, who ran at the enemy goal! When X approached, Dervish turned away quickly - and lost the ball in the process! X just managed to grab the ball as Dervish ran into it side on! Escaping, X rushed at the enemy goal, which ROTROTB ran to defend! Going around ROTROTB, X fired - AND THE BALL WENT IN! A GOLDEN GOAL FOR X & I!
CEASE!

Velociraptors Fanfic Tournament - Series 6!

While were waiting for tactics, I have a request for..well, anyone really. For fun, and because its interesting, Im gathering up information on RW, BB, Robotica and Techno Games - I can get most of it off the Net, but I cant find the Gauntlet and Trial results for RW Series 1 and 2 (except in the S2 semifinals), or the results of the Techno Games series (I recorded the results of Series 3 when it was on, but if I got the results of the other series, Ive lost them). So if anyones got the Gauntlet and Trial results (not just who went out, but distances travelled in the gauntlet and positions/scores in the trials) for RW 1 and 2, and results from the Techno Games series (except Series 3, which I have), could you email them to me, please?

If anyones doing anything similar (or maybe its just me), I can email you info myself, or tell you where to find it on the Net.
