Well, matts back, so I hope he rewrites it now that everythings all cleared up. This also means you wont have to put up with my inability to write intros. :P

Frank, there is an axe culculator about, I have lost the link i had to it a while ago, but Ill look around to it. For Hydraulics, you can use the online pneumatic force calculator (http://www.pneumaticsonline.com/Calc5.asphttp://www.pneumaticsonline.com/Calc5.asp) to work out how much force your ram will have. To find out speeds, weights and pressures, your best off chatting to a company like Vivoil Hydraulics. For the drive power, you can buy a copy of the EDT Sim program or you might be able to find a copy on the net. If you contact me on msn, I can put your drive train through my copy of EDT Sim and Ill be able to tell you how it goes

The Fowler Fic War Series 3

Welcome to round 2 of Heat 3 of The Fowler Fic War Series 3, and after Tony€™s fairly smooth running of the tournament up until this point, Mr. Fowler is back to restore some order and to do some more marathon fights that no-one can be bothered to read

Today we see a first in the Fowler Fic War in that we have 2 clusterbots battling one another. The first comes in the form of the legend form the 80kg tournaments Gemini, up against Chris Cooper€™s rather moody looking creation, The Vampire Twins. It€™s flipper vs. drill, Realie vs. Vapour, and where is it all going to take place? Only the classic arena! Let€™s head arena-side to see all the action.

3€¦
2€¦
1€¦
Activate!

Immediately from the call both machines split and start tearing across the arena at one another. Gemini looked as if they were both going after one of the 2 Vampire Twins, but it looks like the Vampires have other ideas, and are each going after the first of the 2 Gemini sections. This time though, they do a fairly good job of getting them out of the way, with Tony firing his flipper at the first to meet him, throwing the 50kg high into the air with little trouble, before they bounce back to Earth with a crash. The second of the 2 Vampire Twins has slightly better luck though, driving round the side of Gemini and ramming into him, trying to attack the wheels with the drill. It doesn€™t make an impact on they tyre this time though, instead attacking the red wheel hub instead, tearing into the flimsy plastic. The other half of Gemini on the other hand is attacking the previously flipped half of the Vampires, sliding underneath him with the arm, and shoving him towards the fence. He fires the arm, only for Tony€™s machine to bounce off the saws on the sidewall back to the floor. Gemini comes in for another attack, but Vampire Killer number 1 avoids the attack and instead watches Gemini fly straight through and hit the saw on the side, bouncing off with a slice through the armour. On the other side of the arena, Vampire Killer number 2 is continuing to harass Gemini, attacking the tyres with the drill before Gemini finally gets back at him, spinning around and catapulting him into the air off the arm. Vampire Killer lands right way up though and flies straight back in at his wheels, this time getting a direct hit on the rubber of the tyres and ripping into it. The tyre immediately begins to deflate, and Gemini starts hobbling about like a 3-legged donkey. Vampire Killer Number 2, notices what€™s happening on the other side of the arena, and immediately charges over to the pit release button, knocking into it and letting off the siren of death. Number 1 Vampire then proceeds to shunt Gemini across the arena, before submerging him into the pit. At this point, he performs almost a handbrake turn on the spot, before flying in at the other half of Gemini, performing a pincer attack on Gemini. This time, both machines get their drills on the tyres, thought it€™s hard to see if they€™ve done any damage to them at this moment, as neither of them plan on letting go, instead they start manouvreing him towards the pit. At the last minute though, Vampire Killer 2 moves out the way, and within a couple of seconds, number 1 shoves him down the pit and out of the competition.

CEASE

Me- Gemini proves that clusterbots are easy to kick. Vampire Killer proves that clusterbots can kick back. They go through.

Bah, I knew that was going to happen. :P
Good fight, although Vampire Killer is MY bot, unless somehow Chris got knocked out during the fight and my clone came in, cut Vampire Killer into two peices and owned me with it. :P

Right, this is an official cancellation of FFW3. It will be restarted almsot immediately however Im in a position where I am forced to cancel this one. It will be replaced by a new FFW3. However this will be in an entirely different format. Perhaps closer to that of the THDC tournament.
