Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Giga Byte (7) V ripper V x terminator 3

Ripper should be the easiest to grab and get rid of. So open up the pit and get it down there as soon as I can. Try and avoid X Terminator although it cant do that much damage.

Well it€™s heat d and three robots are in the semi finals, who will join them?

Heat D
Round 1
Fight 1
3 Stegs To Heaven (23) V cyclone force 2.5 V We€™ll buy you a new one tomorrow Mrs. Brown
House robots: Growler and Shunt
Because at the time of writing Chris had not posted tactics I got someone from the forum over msn to tell me which weapon they would use and they decide that it would be the horizontal disc.
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
Mrs Brown splits, and the other two robots spin their weapons up to speed. Cyclone force smacks its disc into the side of pt 1 of mrs brown while pt 2 is attacking 3 stegs. Pt 1 spins around and slips under the front of cyclone force and turns it over using the arm, the disc of cyclone force rips into the arena floor which pins the newcomer up in mid air. 3stegs being 1mph faster then pt 2 of mrs brown is just keeping out of reach of it. But it runs into pt 1 who turns the 23rd seed over but its onto pt 2 and the disc of 3 stegs does only little damage to the top of the clusterbot. Refbot has successfully knocked the disc of cyclone force out of the floor. Cyclone force escapes but screeching noises are coming from the non-spinning disc. Pt 2 of Mrs Brown leaves 3 stegs to open the pit. Cyclone force is charges at by both parts of the clusterbot who dump it down the pit.
Cease
Cyclone force 2.5 force out of the tournament
We€™ll buy you a new one tomorrow Mrs. Brown convincingly through, 3 Stegs To Heaven (23) just surviving

Giga Byte (7) V ripper V x terminator 3
House robots: Matilda and Dead Metal
3.2.1.ACTIVATE
Giga Bite goes for ripper who heads towards xterminator who heads for giga byte. Giga byte much different from the robot that has previously reached the grand final, turns slightly and makes a grab for ripper. The armour on ripper bends in as giga byte pushes it into matildas cpz. Matilda with her pink flywheel smacks into the side of the robot wars heat finalist putting a big hole in the side. Xterminator comes into the cpz and smacks into the other side of ripper but the newcomer turns to escape matilda and slips under xterminator low side and flips. Xterminator lands the right way up, to bad it€™s the wrong way up.
Cease
X-terminator- exterminated

The 23rd seed smacks into the patched up side of the newcomer re opening the badly patched up battle scar. Ripper turns and flips the ex robotwars grand finalist. The 23rd sales through the air and land what could be called the right way up. The 23rd seed spins in the middle of the arena as ripper tries to come forward the robot turns left and is going round in one big circle. 3stegs comes in again and smacks into the front of ripper, but the 23rd seed is flipped away. Refbot nudges ripper into the centre of the arena and for his trouble is flipped by the naughty robot :P. 3 stegs activates the pit release button.. The dinosaur that is 3 stegs turns to ripper and the 23rd seed reverses into the side of ripper and pushes it across the arena and over the lip of the pit, ripper starts resisting and turns and flips 3 stegs away. Undeterred the 23rd seed charges and nudges rippers flipper but the newcomer flips sending 3 stegs away but this flip also sends ripper down the pit.

Good to see youve not given up the ghost just yet, Marty :wink:

[velociraptor]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Death Adder 3 will quickly ram Tengu 6, bringing the hammer down to damage it and trying to tip it up with the scoop. It will concentrate on Tengu, repeating these tactics, while trying to avoid Storm. If it starts getting battered by Tengu, it will just go crazy and try to hammer everyone.

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Im going to be bugging dervish the entire fight, or however long it takes be to throw him out.

[alex_holt]

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Tengu will choose the heavy impact blade setup (two blocks on each side)and hit both robots to whatever degree they merit it with thier agression.

Fight 1
Dervish \// (25) V flipping hell V Hefty kick in the balls

Well were off in the first fight of this heat and dervish and hefty kick in the balls are spinning up to speed. Flipping hell goes straight after the 25th seed charging at it trying to reach it before it can get up to speed, Dervish turns and smacks into the front of flipping hell who flips sending the 25th seed up into the air. Hefty kick at 15mph is the slowest in this melee but comes over smacking its powerful spinner into the side of dervish flipping it up. Flipping hell flips the 25th seed again and onto the wall damaging it, I can€™t find the cease button so we will carry on. Flipping hell charges at the 25th seed again and this time send it over the wall. Flipping hell quickly spins around and goes after Hefty kick in the balls and slipping under the front send the fellow newcomer onto its back. Flipping hell speeds into cassius chromes cpz and flips the house robot onto its side.

Tengu starts to selfright but storm two rams it while its selfrighting and pushes it around the arena. Strom 2 smacks tengu into the arena wall. Tengu flys off and lands on its wheels. Tengu finally manages to get up to speed. Death adder plays it safe and backs off but Tengu and storm 2 charge towards each other and storm 2 fires the arm and part of it flies off as it lifts it into the spinning shell of Tengu 6. Death adder smacks the axe into the wheel gap of storm 2, storm 2 tries to pull away but cant it just spins around in circles, death adder tries to pull storm 2 across the arena but storm 2 resists and pulls death adder round in circles.

Death adders axe seams to be stuck in the down position, Tengu drives towards death adder and smack into the axe point sending it flying it out of the arena. Storm 2 is only moving on one side the repeated blows on the right side seam to have done their damage. Tengu charges at storm 2 who spins around in its large circle and smacks into the front of Tengu sending Tengu spinning onto the lip of the pit death adder charges across the arena to try and sentence Tengu to death in the pit but Tengu is still spinning and the axe poll of death adder is an easy target, the poll bends and sends death adder spinning away. Storm 2 is unable to finish Tengu off, death adder charges forward again and this time it sends Tengu 6 down the pit.

If you want predictions then Ill guess that it will be a non-seeded heat final.

Martyns Robot Wars Series 5

Storm 2, fantastic !

Ill assume it has its skirts on, so Ill aim to out-maneuver it to get to the back as it has no skirts there, and Ill plane down the front to try and get under the front too. The slams shouldnt matter too much as it has to deal with the forces of itself self righting.

Round 2
Fight 1
Storm 2 (9) V Flipping Hell
House robots: Growler and Shunt

The now upturned storm 2 spins around and rams into the side of flipping hell with it€™s rear and slams it into shunts cpz, shunt smacks the top of flipping hell with the axe but does little damage to the top.

So as Hefty kick in the balls spins up to speed a slightly patched up death adder comes across the arena, but the slightly more manovarble Hefty spins and smacks into the bars of death adder flipping the shuffle bot over. Death Adder runs away to selfright but is smacked by the disc of Hefty again this time Richards robot is flipped up into the air. Death adder lands the €˜right€™ way up but the axe is now slightly bent. It charges towards the destructive Scottish bot, the outer frame/bar is severely damaged as the two robots collide. Heft Kick chases Richards bot who smacks into the pit release button, hefty kick follows it smacking into the rear flipping death adder onto the wall. Hefty Kick tries to knock it out of the arena but death adder is stuck on the wall. Refbot comes over and knocks death adder off the arena wall. Death Adder charges away but into the path of growler, who rams into the axe robot damaging it little.
