Round 2

Fight 1

Jaws of Hell vs. NSBFR-X

Frank€™s weapon of choice is the wedge with the latch, will it be worth it?

Both robots accelerate away from the starting square with acceleration you would expect from a standard Lem130 motor, the key difference here is that Frank is running at 48 volts and not like Dave who is at 36 volts. Both robots stop in the middle of the arena and turns around to face each other. Jaws of Hell is the faster of the two and manages to dodge the initial attack from NSBFR-X as Dave turns the Hell Machine at the sides of NSBFR-X and rams.

The force on the tip of the blade points though the armour even without the carbon. Without wasting no time, the jaws open slicing open the side armour like it was a potato, look at that strange particle, quickly disappeared, it must have been the excess energy from the attack, NSBFR-X looks to be on the downside as Frank€™s former 3rd placed machine is looking for an early exit, as Jaws of Hell slams it into the pit release.

The pit opens, as the jaws close again, and NSBFR-X is allowed out of jail for free and runs away from Jaws of Hell to get that wedge into play. Frank quickly dodges the attack from Jaws of Hell and gets underneath the side of Jaws of Hell and slams it into the arena wall at full speed. Jaws of Hell comes away free and it gets away from Frank€™s 2nd attack. Dave turns, making sure he is away from NSBFR-X before thinking off the attack he is planning next.

Madness, as both robots are heading towards each other at full speed. NSBFR-X does an anti-dodge, Jaws of Hell dodges, both cancel each other out, as NSBFR-X gets underneath Jaws of Hell and the invertible machine is flipped onto it€™s back. Before NSBFR-X can counter-attack the attack, Jaws of Hell is away into the setting sun. Don€™t you know that the cold and rain don€™t know, Frank thinks and waits by the spike, Jaws of Hell comes marching over, the speed upsets the arena floor as shock waves are sent across the arena. NSBFR-X dodges, as Jaws of Hell is flipped over onto it€™s back once more. NSBFR-X is in the correct place at the time and gets underneath Jaws of Hell and the trademarked latch comes into play and latches onto Jaws of Hell so that the jawed machine can€™t move.

The pit is yawning as it hasn€™t been fed, as NSBFR-X looks like to be pitting Jaws of Hell, the wheels are spinning trying to get away, but the hold from the latch is too strong, as Jaws of Hell is dumped down into the pit.

Cease

Jaws of Hell, outclassed by Frank, NSBFR-X moves onto the heat final.

Fight 2

Tenderizers Revenge 2 vs. Windiest Killer

Matt€™s weapon of choice for the island girl is the crushing jaws

The red square is now empty of any Windiest Killer as Matt makes the world€™s fastest getaway from the square to come onto the attack of Tenderizers Revenge 2, with it€™s crushing jaws. Tenderizers Revenge 2 is on the defensive here, as Matt gets the first blood, but Richard turns on the spot, and sends Windiest killer off it another direction. The sliding door opens, and Cilla Black is saying €œsurprise surprise,€ and Tenderizers Revenge 2 runs away, away from the evil eyes of Windiest Killer.

Matt gives chase, and is met with the eyes of Tenderizers Revenge 2, as the arm gets underneath the front but before Tenderizers Revenge 2 can lift, Windiest Killer has reversed off the arm, and around the side and is now eating it€™s way into the main body, the wedges and skirts are down as far as possible, but even if this extra width, the jaws pierce the armour, as Matt turns Tenderizers Revenge 2 around and the hammer fires once, twice, and three times. Each time leaving a little dent in the top plate.

Tenderizers Revenge 2 manages to get away, but before Richard can attack, Windiest Killer has escaped prison and is away, being chased by Trisha who wants to know his life story. Get up and Use Me, Tenderizers Revenge 2 chases after Windiest Killer, but Matt has pressed the pit release, sending the pit down for a second time.

Tenderizers Revenge 2 comes onto the attack, as Windiest Killer looks to have some damage, but within a few feet, Matt turns Windiest Killer around and rams into the front end with the jaws primed. The jaws close around the body, as Tenderizers Revenge 2 lifts up Windiest Killer up, but the arm hasn€™t got enough power to break the grip, as a pop is heard, as air rushes into Tenderizers Revenge 2 from the two holes. Tenderizers Revenge 2 is being pushed backwards, as Windiest Killer turns, firmly in control, as Tenderizers Revenge 2 is trying to get away, but the grip is too strong.

If you manage to leave, can you take me with you, I€™m tired with talking to you on the phone. Tenderizers Revenge 2 is taken across the arena, as Windiest Killer drops Tenderizers Revenge 2 over the arena spike. Richard€™s box is on it€™s back, but it is invertible, so it doesn€™t matter, but Windiest Killer regains grip and forces Tenderizers Revenge 2 backwards in a case of mad wheel spinning across the arena, as the pit is coming up on the freelove freeway.

Tenderizers Revenge 2 is held over the pit by Windiest Killer, which is just showboating now, before dropping Tenderizers Revenge 2 down.

Cease

Tenderizers Revenge 2 ended up pitted, Windiest Killer moves forward to a heat final appearance and a new suit for court .

Heat Final Draw
To save me giving away the result, you will have to read the results of the fight, right.

Tactics, Predictions, Did you like round 2?

The Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament

Full tactics depend on Matts set up, but for now Ill go for the spinning bar to make sure I stay invertable, and basically hurtify him.

The Norman Sheppard Tribute Tournament

Found it. I think Ill switch over to the wedge with lifting plate, so I can just bull under his front and lift him up but not over, to keep his pincers well away from my body and keep his wheels off the floor for more efficient pushing. Ill then drive him around and put him in any hazards or pits that I can find. If I get flipped for some reason, Ill drive over the arena spike to right myself.

Where has all the robots gone, as both squares are now empty, as NSBFR-X has managed to out-drive Windiest Killer away from the line, but Matt is holding back with the jaws, as NSBFR-X turns to face his foe. Both robots suddenly break away with a burst of speed, neither dodge the attack, as NSBFR-X shots underneath Windiest Killer and straight underneath Windiest Killer.

Matt is smiling, as he turns around and rams into the rear of NSBFR-X before crushing the weapon into the body, and slightly piercing the armour. NSBFR-X€™s wheels are spinning, but Windiest Killer has the more powerful drive here and rams NSBFR-X into the arena wall. NSBFR-X is released from Windiest Killer€™s evil grip, as Matt tried to pull backwards, but ran out of time. NSBFR-X runs away and turns around in the arena, before coming back onto another attack, ramming in underneath Windiest Killer and this time, the plan works and Windiest Killer€™s front wheels have been lifted up from the arena surface, with just enough to allow NSBFR-X to push against Windiest Killer.

Matt is trying to get away, and manages to start pushing back on NSBFR-X, even with only 2 wheels on the ground, the power from those Lem 170 motors are out-placing the power from their younger brother and so Frank€™s interchangeable machine is being pushed backwards, slowly, as NSBFR-X continues with the power and manages to push back against Windiest Killer, as Matt€™s wheels are spinning on the steel surface, as it loses traction. NSBFR-X sends Windiest Killer onto the spike and the spikes flips Windiest Killer over.

Before Matt can relocate his bearings, NSBFR-X has rammed into Windiest Killer again, this time from the rear end and lifts up. However this time, Matt is ready and puts on the power slowly, and manages to out-push NSBFR-X, just, as Frank looses traction and suddenly both robots shoot backwards, into the arena wall. NSBFR-X moves forward and gets underneath the side of Windiest Killer and lifts up and pushes into the pit release button.

The pit opens, but Matt turns and dodges another attack from Frank€™s machine and gets the claws into play around the rear end of NSBFR-X. Simple, as NSBFR-X is being out-pushed, as all the wheels are spinning trying to get traction on the surface of the arena. The jaws have managed to cut though the armour on NSBFR-X, as air rushes into the body, as Matt is heading NSBFR-X over towards the pit. Can Frank save the day once more?

It seems not, as NSBFR-X is being outclassed here, as the VFT 6 final 4 robot is heading for an heat final exit here, the brakes are on NSBFR-X, as Frank is trying to slow down the heading towards the pit to just long enough so that Windiest Killer has to let go. The wheels are spinning in reverse, as the progress is slowed down. Matt quickly turns and dumps NSBFR-X onto the arena spike before letting go. Frank€™s machine is on it€™s back, as it looks all but over for the seed here.

Windiest Killer rams into NSBFR-X, and starts to crush, but it can€™t get though the armour, but NSBFR-X is being pushed towards the pit at full speed.

Cease

Windiest Killer opens the jaws and NSBFR-X drops down the pit, and the smoke comes up.

Frank has a tiny smile on his face, as the judges have to decide whom goes forward.
