STEVE SEZ:
And after our first techie debate of the season, lets cut to the real fights. Soz for the major delays again BTW, but was having a great time with mates in the toon and my big sister officially moved to Falkirk yesterday :sad:, so been quite busy this weekend.

HEAT B
ROUND 2
SEMI-FINAL 1
M.O.A.B.I.E. (3) Vs PUSH-ISH FUNDAMENTAL

Today, Push-ish will be wearing its very fashionable fixed skirts.

House Robots - Mr Hyde and Shellraiser

3...2...1...
ACTIVATE!!!!!!!!!!

With the slight advantage in speed, Push-ish is just off the mark first and our two rammers collide painfully head-on in the arena centre! Both robots end up being knocked away from each other on contact, but its M.O.A.B.I.E. who recovers first! The initial blow has also allowed the No.3 seed to get an easy broadside attack on the fellow veteran and smash its front wedge into the skirts! Though failing to slip beneath, Aaron wastes no time in steaming on and smashing the VFT Heat Finalist into the nearest wall! Push-ish barely gets a moment to register the pain when M.O.A.B.I.E. is at it with another brutal slam! And another! And another! And...no more. Dave has just managed to dart around to the sides of its opponent while it was backing up! Feeling as though a little retribution is in order, Mr Sheppard slowly lifts the No.3 seed a little bit off the ground before charging straight up towards the Void Activator! With a wince-worthy crash, last seasons bronze medallist smashes off the Button as all present in the auditorium are deafening by the proceeding klaxon! Quickly, M.O.A.B.I.E. turns around (getting a cheeky shunt off of Push-ish whilst doing so) and rockets wedge-first into the fellow veterans sloped body! With more force behind its own charge, the No.3 seed proves lower on this occasion and powers right under the large wedges front! But Aaron isnt stopping at just that - in fact, hes not stopping, full-stop! Having raised the front end upward with its nifty lifter, the PTT4 bronze medallist thunders right down the ring and slams Push-ish into the bottom arena disc! A burst of sparks illuminate the scene on contact as Daves machine is sent bouncing to one side! Thankfully, the TG and Hardox armouring have held up very well indeed against the flywheel, but that isnt stopping Mr M.O.A.B.I.E.! Powering on, the No.3 seed begins shoving its victim over towards the Void...but as it does so, Push-ish jerks backwards and out of the former Finalists path! Instantly, Dave takes command of the duel, slipping under the skirtless sides of last seasons bronze medallist and quickly shunting it back to the top of the arena! M.O.A.B.I.E. attempts to struggle to freedom, but the little lifters on Push-ish arent making it easy for the wheels to comply with Aarons wishes! Finally, the ride comes to a stop and the boxy veteran is back on the ground...in Mr Hydes CPZ! Hurridly, Mr Knight gathers his bearings and shoots out the Patrol Area, only inches short of a hammer blow by the House Robot in its rush! With Push-ish not far behind it, the No.3 seed suddenly twirls around as it reaches the left-hand wall! Quickly changing direction, Dave tries to meet his rival head-on again, but M.O.A.B.I.E. ends up hitting a front corner, squeezing the wedge under the skirting gap and sliding around to get itself under the fellow veterans rear scoop! Before its foe can respond, the No.3 seed charges full steam ahead towards the fence, raising its own front wedge up to maximum height! A frightful clatter signals their collision! Push-ish is thrust upwards by the combined force of the lifter and the impact and an extra nudge from the PTT4 bronze medallist tips it right over onto the wall! As M.O.A.B.I.E. backs away, Dave tries to pursue...but cant! With the scoop end balancing on the fence, the wheels are hovering in mid-air! All that Mr Sheppard can do is force his lifting plates up and down and up and down, hoping against hope hell rock himself free...but nae such luck! While Aaron breathes a secret sigh of relief, the Grim Beeper trundles over to claim another cybernetic soul...
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!!!!!!!!!!
Unhappy to have missed out on a munch of M.O.A.B.I.E., Mr Hyde dashes out of his corner and comes to a halt in front of the balanced Push-ish! Maliciously, the House Robot fires its axe and adds a couple of hammer blows to its humiliation! But theres two problems with this: one, the shell took the hits just fine; and two, hes knocked the competitor back onto the ground again! Ready to make up for his bruising with Uncle Sam, Dave charges straight for Mr Hyde and slides right under the front claws! The hammer comes bashing down frantically, but makes little more than the smallest of dints as Push-ish rockets over to the Void and sends the House Robot 6ft under...shortly followed by itself!

CEASE!!!!!

Push-ish forgets the Fundamentals of war, but shows Team Coldheart just how pushy it can really be!
M.O.A.B.I.E. (3) GOES THROUGH TO ROUND 3!!!

HEAT B
ROUND 2
SEMI-FINAL 2
THE AXE ATTAXE Vs TYPHOON 2

House Robots - Surligig and The Kaiser Chief

Roboteers stand by...
3...2...1...
ACTIVATE!!!!!!!!!!

Our legendary battlecry has barely been voiced as Andy begins revving up Typhoons shell and Gary moves it down the ring! However, the Axe Attaxe is nippier than most think and dashes away after the RW champion! Just as the duo reach the bottom arena disc, Gary suddenly jerks his creation to one side, nearly forcing the newcomer to throw itself into the flywheel! Angered, Mattys machine turns around...and suddenly gets walloped by a charging Typhoon! With a bang, the Axe Attaxe bounces away and into the arena disc with a burst of sparks! Immediately, Mr McD backs off, wincing as he notices the little scars along the hammerbots side! One piece of good has come from this ambush, though - Typhoons shell is now at a complete stop! Quickly, Corporal Cairns tries to get away for some revving room, but the Axe Attaxe finally catches up! Giving the veteran a hard nudge, it scrapes its wedged body under one of the claws and brings the axe down on its titanium shell! The PTT veteran barely has time to react to this, though, when Matty forces down on the Forward! stick and shoves the Scotbot right up the Warzone and into the Void Activator! Still, Typhoon struggles to escape over the sirens blaring, but the Axe Attaxe just drives further underneath and pins it up against the wall, before raining down a hail of blows on the lethal lampshade with its mighty hammer! Dint after dint starts being punched into the conical body, even managing a tiny penetration here and there, until Matty finally backs off for another shunt! Not daring to waste this oppertunity, Gary jerks Typhoon into life and sends the RW champion speeding back across the arena, shell quickly beginning to spin up again! But the Axe Attaxe is quickly back in pursuit and catches up just as it passes the middle of the ring! On collision, the two are sent twirling away and though it may have a scar for its troubles, the newbie has once again slowed Typhoons shell! Like a flash, Mattys machine has darted back into it and stopped the spinner completely this time! With a little realignment, the hammerbot slips straight between two of its rivals claws and deep underneath! Corporal Cairns attempts an escape, but that proves too hard as the axe shoots into action and grapples on (creating the umpteenth dint into the bargin)! Beaming broadly, Mr McD steps into top gear and dashes as fast as it can over to the Void, the hammer not daring to release Typhoon! Andy desperately tries to get the shell going again...but to no avail! Finally, the axe is released and the reigning Robot Wars champion plummets to the very depths of the Warzone...

CEASE!!!!!

Typhoon 2 receives a dishonourable discharge...and a cookie to whoever gets the hidden reference!
THE AXE ATTAXE GOES THROUGH TO ROUND 3!!!

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

TACTICS:
Manouver around to the sides and/or back of MOABIE, and attack it with the axe, and trapping it. Keep away from the front most importantly. Try to damage the wheels, but if that wont work, then Ill just keep attacking from the sides/back, while the axe has MOABIE trapped. No matter what I do here, try and quickly push it down the pit when I first get the chance to do so.

[team_britespark]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Prediction: Axe Attaxe to win a JD on aggression and damage.

Both machines are off to a flying start today...but neither is heading towards the other! No, they havent magically become pacifists , theyre just both dashing up to the Void Activator! Thanks to its mighty motors, M.O.A.B.I.E. is the one who gets there first, but as the rammer bashes into the Button, the Axe Attaxe collides into its rear and easily slips underneath it! Aaron barely gets time to respond before the hammer comes crashing down on the No.3 seeds lid! Thankfully, the Hardox 450 shell is more than enough to take the punishing blow, but thats not stopping Matty! Still with a hold on its rival, the newcomer tugs hard and successfully manages to yank the more experienced machine out the corner! However, the axe head loses its grip in doing so and allows the PTT4 Finalist to escape! Feeling a little retribution is in order, M.O.A.B.I.E. zips around to the side of its sloped adversary and scrapes its own lifting wedge under the 5mm ground clearance! Quickly, the No.3 seed shoots down the ring and, with a little help from the lifter, easily rolls the Axe Attaxe right over onto its back near the arena centre! But just as Aaron comes back in for another big ram, Matty jams his finger down on his Hammah! button and rights his creation with one swift swipe of its nasty weapon! The wheels have barely touched the ground, though, when the more experienced competitor crashes into the rear and starts shoving once more! Before the lifty wedge can get back into action, Mr McD dashes out of the PTT4 Finalists clutches and tries to get around the sides again! There follows a short display of balletics from both combatants as they manouevre for position, before M.O.A.B.I.E. gets fed up and manages to clip its rivals side! The Axe Attaxe twirls to react and ends up going wedge-to-wedge with our No.3 seed! On this occasion, the newbie proves the lower and brings the hammer down again as it scrapes further under the former bronze medallist! However, the axe head is proving as ineffective as before as it pecks down on the Hardox lid and now the PTT veteran is beginning to shove back, the Void seemingly its destination! Quickly realising this, Matty halts the hammers rain of blows and hurridly backs off, the bottom corner only a few feet away by now! M.O.A.B.I.E. attempts another full-on assault, but the excellent manoueverability on Mr McDs creation serves him in good stead and allows him to get around to the No.3 seeds side, just as it too begins to turn! Aaron immediately tries backing off, but the axe is down once again and Matty quickly crosses into the corner! The hammer may have a good grip on it, but the PTT4 Finalist is showing no signs of giving up! The four special wheels are spinning like theres no tomorrow and the uber-rammer seems to be breaking free with some manic wiggling! Will Mr Knight survive! The Axe Attaxe answers this question for us by reaching the edge of the Void and retracting the hammer! A few shakes later and the scrambling former bronze medallist tumbles down into the darkness below...

CEASE!!!!!

Mother of All Bricks Inevitably Expires, as our 3rd seed fails to replicate its success last year! MOABIE next time!
THE AXE ATTAXE GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!!

Congratulations to Matty McDonald! (Go Canada)

Natural Selection VS P.C.C. (2 VS The Ultimate Wedge VS Wind Chiller

Scotty stated before the draw that Insecticide would be the same as last time anyway, so stats are here (http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/discus/messages/760/2773.html?1088790469http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/disc...3.html?1088790 469)

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Wooty fights Steve, wooty posting Dave

Looks at draw...

...Bugger...

...No Low seed has made it past round 1...

...New Flipper Time, attack Natural Selection first and place it over the wall, avoid wedge and repeat with wind chiller before attacking house robots. I should be able to use the extra punch from the drive to counter-act any attacks, wearing the skirts

[darkguru]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Clamp, hazards, pit. Take down the wedge first.

[matt_macdonald]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Woo Hoo!

TACTICS:
Ok, Im gonna go for Natural Selection first, because of its relatively high GC and slow ability to self-right, then try and get it down the pit as quickly as possible. Then, get to the sides of P.C.C., getting underneath it with my low front, and quickly push it down the pit when I first get the chance. Team up with The Ultimate Wedge if I encounter any problems with P.C.C.

[alex_holt]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Spin around and hit into things, preferably opponents. I think this time Ill head for the one with tougher armour so Im more likely to meet the more lightly armoured one later. Ill just be using the standard blades.

[team_britespark]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Predictions:

Melee 1 - Tengu to easily make it through. Not sure about who else will go through, possibly GeForce Eevo or Insecticide... or Flaming Hell

Melee 2 - The Ultimate Wedge and P.C.C to charge through the opposition.

[razerdave]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

hmmm

Well, I dunno much about the other two, but they are less of a problem than Tengu I am sure so Ill try to take them out by the usual spinner method: try and tear them apart via their weakest point
