The Legends Tournament

Ok, Love Bite V Rampant, looks like a fun fight, no big difference between the 2 in priorites, just my traction is better and his reliability is better. So basically this match depends on who is lower, Rampant was meant to be the lowest bot with the front and back being so angled that it would be hard for anything to get under it. Ill go in with the front, Im hoping after a little bit of tinkering in the garage I can make sure my lifter is as low as possible, Im not to keen on the pit this match, but if Im getting under him easy everytime Ill try to pit him, but if Im not getting under him easy when I get under him Ill just try to get him towards other hazards, and flip him some.

The Legends Tournament

Act 1, Scene 2

4 robots are left to fight it out for the points for the championship

Fight 1
Ultimate Tournament Rigger vs. Lint

In scene 1, Ultimate Tournament Rigger beat Grand Slam via the pit, and Lint sent Crash Bandi-bot 2 out of the arena

Ultimate Tournament Rigger starts to move forward a tad to get into position, as Lint gently jogs over to the other side of the arena, before jogging back to get lined up with Ultimate Tournament Rigger, Tom and Aaron know what they are doing, as Lint reverses in a dead straight line, so that it€™s back is against the wall.

The power is unleashed, as the sound barrier is broken, as Lint goes up the wedge of Ultimate Tournament Rigger and straight though the solid wall, melting a part of it, as Lint exits the arena, and lands on the moon.

Cease

All went to plan; Lint needs to be flown home from the moon, as Ultimate Tournament Rigger moves into the final of act 1.

Fight 2
Rampant vs. Love Bite 2

In round 1, Rampant pitted Bloody Tears and Love Bite 2 pitted The Modfather, both are very similar in stats, so this could be close.

Both robots have exited the starting squares as quick as a flash, as both turn to attack, and come close. Who gets under whom? Rampant starts to lift it€™s lifter up, and lifts up the front wheels of Love Bite 2, and takes it quickly towards the pit release. Love Bite 2€™s wheels are spinning in mid-air as it tries to get traction on the arena floor.

The pit is open, as Andy is taking Love Bite 2 towards the pit at top speed; Chris is trying to get a grip on the arena surface, but finds himself 6 feet under.

Cease

Another quick battle, as Love Bite 2 finds love with the pit, and crashes out. Rampant moves into the final of act 1.

Alright, UTR is one of those super wedge biohazard-storm 2 bots, however he doesnt have the speed, with speed and traction in my favor I think I can get to to weakeness of these bots, there front corners, because they are both right there ance usually havent got the superwedginess of the other parts, I wanna go in with my back scoop like thing (lowest angled part of the bot) to hopefuly get under, and then use hazards, pit or whatever.

Do you smell fear in the morning?

Rampant gets off to a flying start as Andy turns around to get the rear wedge into play. Ultimate Tournament Rigger is on the aggression and comes out after Rampant, as Andy turns and aims for the side skirts of Ultimate Tournament Rigger. Tom turns and defences the attack, and manages to get the lower front underneath the rear end of Rampant and lifts up to get underneath.

Rampant is up, and as the second flipper comes into play, Rampant is onto it€™s back. Ultimate Tournament Rigger slams underneath it as Andy self-rights Rampant, but lands, trapped between the arm on Ultimate Tournament Rigger and it€™s body, as Tom, now wearing another cool pair of sunglasses opens the pit, as he looks like to be taking maximum points for act 1. Rampant€™s wheels are spinning in mid-air, as it is dumped 6 feet under. Smoke comes from the pit.

Cease

Rampant ends up down the pit, but collects 7 points. Tom collects all 10 points from Act 1, as he is given a ¼ of a gold medal.

Current Score Board (At end of Act 1)

Anyways, the real meaning behind this post is coming up soon, but first a word from our sponsers:

Buy Pie Now

And now for something completely different:

Act 2

The 2nd of the 4 acts. This act is based on €œThree challenges in one€ on the last page of the panic attack forum. I picked this, as it was the first not to be fully knockout, but it made use of the FRW stat system.

This has 4 scenes, the first is sumo, fighting against Shunt on the FAV sumo ring, which I will post details later. Scene 2, with 5 robots will be in a maze, and the final two scenes will be knockout.

Requirements

Robots Name:
Shape:
Weaponry (Maximum of 2, a Srimech isn€™t a weapon, but please say IF you have one):
Movement Type:

Priorities (changed the words to make more sense today):
€ Aggression
€ Weapon Power
€ Manoeuvrability
€ Speed
€ Traction/Torque
€ Armour

Number of entries
This has the lowest number of entries needed, only 6 can enter.

Sumo Ring
This is a simple 25 metre diameter flat circle with a non-magnetic steel floor. You win by pushing Shunt off; the loser will be the one off in the quickest time.

Points
1st - 10 points
2nd - 7 points
3rd/4th - 5 points
5th - 3 points
6th - 1 point
