...AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

Well, I did say Id laugh like hell if Tails won its Heat.

SEMI-FINALS
CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS (1) VS Son of Ripper 4.0 (2)
Same tactics as last seasons final¨. Get under those highish sides, clamp on for dear life (maybe getting one of those wheels, too) and activate the Pit. Then, off I go to dump it. Heres hoping for a repeat of last year :wink:

Ringwraith VS TAILS
Kamikaze! Charge straight in to stop the spinner. Then, start whacking the drum and wheels with my whirling bar until death. Failing that, charge right under, slam it into some walls and attempt to pit.

Great as ever, Davey Boy...but Im with Frank. Matty Mac and Behemoth got royally screwed.

Dave, you didnt look hard enough. Christian Carlberg [Who runs Coolrobots.com] Built the things, so they ARE on there.

Anyways for any heat..Uhh..Wanna team up Andy, and just kill everything in sight?
Im with Steve and Frank as well, Id like to see proof on this 30 second OOTA rule before I belive Matt wasnt screwed.

Now you say, if you said that I would have looked in that direction.

I got totally SCREWED by Dave, just like Tom Roper got totally SCREWED by Dave in FRW 7.

I still challenge that 30 second rule thing, once a robot is out of the arena, the fight is over. Its just like if a robot is immobilised for 10 seconds or if it ends up in the pit, it is out!

My decision...

...Behemoth vs. Take Me Out will be rewritten...

...tonight

[pcbore]

Its not just the 30 seconds thing, its the slim odds of Take Me Out landing in a position to be able to self right back in... Twice.

As much as I hate (or have hated) the guy for everything he did to me, I have to back Matt up here...It just doesnt seem correct.

Heat L Final, Part 2

Take Me Out vs. Behemoth (27)

Due to a rethink and lots of complaints made by the general council of vapourbottering, I have decided to go against the original fight and do a rewrite.

3
2
1
Activate

Both robots are off the line, as Matt is looking to make his first semi-finalist, after being flipped out of the arena in part 1, as Take Me Out comes around. The more controlled Behemoth slams straight into the front wedge of Take Me out, and lifts it off the ground, lifting the front wheels off the ground by lifting up the scoop.

Matt pushes Take Me Out backwards, the wheels spinning on the arena surface to get grip, but the axe comes down, pinning Take me out on the front scoop of the 27th seed. The pit release has been opened, as Matt doesn€™t want to make the same mistake and flip Take Me Out over the wall, he wants to end the fight as soon as he can, as Behemoth hurries across the arena, lifting up the scoop.

Martyn can not do a potato as he is pushed backwards, the flipper fires, but all it does is rise the front end up a bit higher, as Take Me Out drops down 6 feet on it€™s rear end, and falls down on it€™s 4 wheels. Behemoth spins around; Matt is smiling, as he knows he has caused more chaos and creation in the back garden, which by the way is a great album.

Cease

Behemoth wins over Take Me Out via TKO in 0:47

Behemoth now faces Achilles in round 4

I could of geused i would lose that fight, but whatever i probly didnt deserve to win the first fight but whatever

[matt_macdonald]

The Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament

Thank you Dave, you did the right thing.

Behemoths tactics:
Against Achilles, Ill have to avoid the front, and focus my attacks on the side, flipping it with the scoop and pushing it around, and make sure that it cant get away to try an attack, get it down the pit with the first chance possible.

Im basically a mroe finessful and nimble version of behemoth, so Im not too worried, Ill use pnuematics and get round the side and ram and flip. Im also lower to the ground which is good.

Repeated (the orginal has gone into the archives) Message to Chris M:
Ram-Raider is 6kg over the Featherweight Walker Limit (24 kg) whereas RR is 30 kg. Please can you swap robots with either another FW (CFL or Realie) or Ram-Raider will be kicked out.

You have till tomorrow to decide

[dinowarrior]

The Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament

OK, THIS ISNT FAIR! You warn everyone (EVERYONE) else about weight problems AT LEAST a month before the fight. Why warn me the day BEFORE the fight? Why do I have to be the outcast in EVERYTHING?!

And I cant kick Ram-Raider out because its the only featherweight Ive got. And most of the good ones have been taken.

The only thing I can do is do what Team Razer did, and start drilling those holes.
