OK, with Ankle Biter 2 change the armour from 10mm to 5mm, and also, lower the drum weight to 15kg. That should fix everything up.

NSBFL 7

...OK I guess that should be fine, but Im also going to change the power into a rough guess of around Tornado power.

[mr_matt]

NSBFL 7

OK. thats fine.

I dont think blizzard qualifies for aweight limit yet people give me them anyway.

Yeh just give me soem random ones, demolisher for its weight category though if it hasnt been picked.

Nick - VGer is in, and Ive found I no longer have Parasites stats anyway for some reason. I know youve been having trouble with lose work recently, so no preassure. Do you want some real machines entered?

Part of my withdrawing parasite is the lack of stats, and my 1-spinner-per-competition rule. Im fed up with endering with 6 mildly similar ones over and over.

I know the limit is 4, but Id prefer to just have 2. Be creative with the real robots you enter, if you dont want to interfere with the brackets.

OK, I was just making sure you knew. Some of the real machines Ive been finding that meet the criteria are just as vicious as the vapours.

...Its times like this I really MISS MSNs devil smiley:sad:

NSBFL 7

Welcome to the start of NSBFL 7. Here be the seeds first of all:

1)Achilles
2)Wedge Devo
3)Dervish VI
4)The Deer
5)Sheer Hell
6)Seggy the 3rd
7)Hell Machine
Manic Monsoon
9)Venom
10)Drilla Killa 7
11)Battle Raptor 3
12)Going Crunch
13)VGer
14)Archangel of the Abyss
15)Kruel Intent
16)Love Bite

No.s 13 and 14 got their positions because I liked the design, basically. Next up are summaries of all the real robots Ive selected.

Heavies

Kruel Intent - A Cassius flipper at the front, a horizontal flywheel at the back.

Project X - An interesting pyramid robot with two flippers. Last seen in NSBFL 5.

Bisyamonten - A rear lifter/front crusher. Last seen in NSBFL 5.

Artros - A bit like Chaos 2, but has a longer flipping plate.

Beta - Surely this maniacal mangler needs no introduction?

Tiger Shark - A wootily coloured robot with a flipping arm.

Circuit Breaker - A domed robot with an overhead spinning bar.

Venom - Think Bulldog Breed, but green and youve got it.

Agitator - A low box with overhead spinning bar.

Got Bot - An invertible double wedge whichc ant be left on its side.

Sledge Jammer - A sitnspin machine with exposed wheels.

T.O.D.D - Invertable double eraser shaped box with spikey wedges, and sort of exposed wheels. It has wheel guards but they look ineffective.

Think Tank - A robot with protected tracks and a drum.

Middles

Centipede - A boxy cage spinner.

Heavy Metal Noise - An invertable robot with a big vertical disc and exposed wheels.

Lights

Miss Dee Meaner - Box with overhead bar spinner.

Manic Aggressive - Think 259, but replace the flywheel with a saw.

Mad Cows Revenge - Low box with a low horizontal flywheel.

Jo Mamma - Wedge with overhead spinning bar.

Feathers

Blue - A box with a powerful hammer.

Addis - A flipper made out of a bin lid no less.

Storm Vortex - A spinner. Ita alright, I guess

Scorpion Junior - Another vertical disk machine.

Alpha 1 - A small, well armoured pushing wedge. The robot is invertable but the wedge isnt.

The draw

The heavies will be in 16 heats, 4 robots per heat. The other weights will have 4 3-way melees and then one final 4 way melee.

Middleweight draw

Tom vs Pure vs Collision Force

Basically Ive left it so A) theres time for Nick to finish up ABR, but if its not done on time Wedge Devo will get a bye into the heat final. Also if anyone wants to enter any other weights, they will replace randomly chosen real robots, so Scott still has time.

NSBFL 7

and I can only see 3 of my heavies.

I dont know about VT but ill assume they are clusters, pnuematics in that case, turn em over quickly cant be hanging around with multiple foes. Slam em into tsomewhere thatll do something, the sides of whatever, bound to be soemthing, too tired to go and find where it says aobut arenas

[andrewj]

NSBFL 7

Here are my tactics...

NSA vs Son of Ripper 4.0

Those sucker things€¦ suck. I did this before with SOR against Supreme Glory Gamma in PTT4. If that thing is sucking it to the ground I just smash it with the blade and NSA will absorb all the energy and shock itself out. If it isn€™t stuck to the floor I can easily push it and flip it about because the stats say €˜it has no torque€™ so it can€™t push back.
I will keep the blade running all match because there isn€™t a likely chance of me being flipped unless the flipper extension is used. Once at full speed I€™ll just keep hitting that bodywork and causing loads of damage. The odd few flips should rack me up some points too.

Got Bot vs GeForce

I don€™t know much about this robot, so all my tactics can be are ram and flip.

Overdrive vs Sparkstorm vs Addis

Am I allowed to take a piece of 2mm Steel into the arena to beech Sparkstorm on? If not then I€™m just going to go out and drive about all over the place ramming the robot in front and pushing it about with my incredible drive train.
If I am allowed then I€™ll just slide the piece of steel under Sparkstorm and leave it stranded in the air.

Crash vs Mad Cows Revenge vs Gridlock

Don€™t know much about Mad Cow€™s Revenge, so I better leave it alone. Crash€™s armour is only 3mm Titanium so I should be able to rip it open quite easily and hopefully smash some internals up as well.

Blazer vs Hell Fire vs Blizzard

I€™m just going to drive around ramming and flipping here, I€™m not going to focus my attacks on either of them, just attack who is nearest really.

Good luck Frank, should be another excellent war, even if I do go out in the first round as usual. :P

Sonic Boom vs Call Out Hook (me)
A really bad arena for me here. For this fight i shalll use the axe weapon and and just try and push Sonic Boom away so it cant damage me, i shall try ramming it into the walls and try and immoblise it
