I predict that Tengu will win the all seeds heat final on a judges decision by giving PCC a good battering.

Hmmm.....

a fiddly fight it be, but I think this is an oppertunity to try out the heavy impact blade for maximum power to the blows, hopefully theyll buckle the armour and more importantly try and break some components.

Same speed, but his controll is more questionable, therefore I intend to run round it, hitting it and try take of its skirts. Im aiming to land as many blows as possible, but keep on the move constantly to avoid it due to its manouverability issues. But this is going to be a challenging heat final.

Remove the skirts for the heat final and fit the active wedge, and basically open the pit at the start, then box-rush it, the wedge will take the blow by moving inwards in a free movement, spreading the damage around, so that Im next to a stalled spinner, then push down pit. Nothing fancy, nothing stupid.

I have the better acceleration, and the better control because tengu has all those gyro forces to worry about with that spinner.

STEVE SEZ:
Another long wait, but heres the end to our third Heat at last!

HEAT C
ROUND 3
HEAT FINAL
P.C.C. (2 Vs TENGU VII (5)

Today, Davey Boy is going skirtless (naughty boy!) and will be using the active wedge. Torsion-sprung, rubber-laden and highly confusing, it flexes with the force of the spinner and can be tightened to withstand anything from 100kJ to 1 megajoule!

Along with this, Alex will be switching to the pair of twin heavy-impact blades, designed for both ripping and severe shock damage. Ouchies.

House Robots - Scream and Surlygig

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

Right away, both machines rocket from their starting positions, neither going for an attack just yet. While Tengu quickly gets itself revved up, P.C.C. darts up the arena and crashes into the Void Activator! Barely moments after the trademark siren begins to do its thing, the No.28 seed backs out of the corner and twirls around - taking a vicious blow from its rival as the spinner whacks into its side! In a blur, Tengu whirls aside; but just as it starts getting those lagging blades back up to speed, Davey Boy makes his move and manages to shove the No.5 seed with his spiffy springy scoop! Almost at once, the spinning shell freezes and the delighted Mr Sheppard positions himself to give the former silver medallist a little vacation to the Void! However, having barely made it a few feet across the ring, Alex juts his machine out of P.C.C.s way and happily runs away to get the blades going again! Without missing a beat, the No.28 seed begins pursuing, but makes little progress. It cant catch up that much with both bots having equal speeds and the superiour manoueverability isnt helping matters! After a few seconds of this tension-filled chase, Tengu suddenly whirls around and just manages to clip the side of Daves machine as it zooms past it! Sent into a spin and now sporting a rather ugly scar, the PTT4 Heat Finalist twirls sharply to face the green predator, but our 5h seed is leading it a merry dance and quickly gets in another side blow before it can retaliate! Being bombarded just like the spinners previous conquests, Mr Sheppard puts an end to it by deftly jerking away from a third charge by the former Finalist and grazes the blurry blades with its super scooper! Thankfully, though, Tengu twirls out of the way of a further P.C.C. ram and dashes down to the top end of the Warzone! Davey Boy starts another chase, but by the time he too reaches the tippity-top, Alexs annihilator is happily spinning around to its dark hearts content! Its boxier rival tries a good honest shunt once again, but the No.5 seed simply swerves around and clobbers the sides once more! Almost like a blocky pinball, the 28th seed bounces off the blades and richoch¨s off the top arena flywheel! The steel shell starting to look like Al Capone after a bar fight, P.C.C. turns to try an attack again, but by now, the robot formerly known as S.E.G. is definately starting to look slower than before! As if to really take the biscuit, Tengu adds in another horrific blow to the sides! And another! And another! And (dare I say it?) another! Now jammed right against the arena wall near the Button corner, the interchangeable entrant looks rather dormant now. It seems that the sheer shock from all those blows finally took their toll on P.C.C.s innards. Hey, about 75kJ of energy is enough to make even the toughest machine coffin-fodder! Sensing the ghost has finally been given up, Tengu gives its opponent one final wallop to make sure, as the Grim Beeper trundles over to the lower seed...
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!!!!!!!!!!

CEASE!!!!!

P.C.C. says T.T.F.N.! Maybe an anti-Tengu device is on the cards next year for our 28th seed!
TENGU VII (5) GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!!

Congratulations to Alex Holt!

LATER ON:
HEAT D
ROUND 1
Love Bite V2.0 VS Slam Job VS SpinVerter 3 (7) VS Tough as Nails
Chalkie 3G VS Mega Masher 2 VS Powerpoint the Thrasher 5 VS The Disc 5 (26)

No new SpinVerter stats from Tombo, so here are the tech specs for version three: (http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/discus/messages/760/2773.html?1088790469http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/disc...3.html?1088790 469)

Thoughts? Tactics? Enjoy Round 3?

Thank you

Im fast and im damn good at driving. Im gonna stay away from Spinverter and try to take out Tough as Nails, i should be quick enough to avoid it clutching hold of me and ram it from the side. Obviously, its invertible, so flipping is out of the order as far as TAN goes, but the pincers will come into play if it gets behind me and i believe the range of those is better than the TAN gripping system. The original Love Bite may have been a mere distraction (see Mentorn Conspiracy ), but V2.0 means business.

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Cant seem to find any statty goodness for Mega Masher (probably not looking hard enough) so Ill play it safe and go for the other two. I dont think PTT5 can do any damage to me, and Chalkie is just high enough for me to get a good attack on, so try to spin them into CPZs or down the pit or something. Preferably the something

[matty_haka]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

That blows asking Frank if he wants to a horizontal/vertical team-up. :P

Ill just charge after... everything, hope to bend a few things... not too confident really:sad:

Matty, you have a very weird mind...

Nice to see some new blood around here, welcome Timothy!

[mrdaves]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Well done Alex.

I cant remember a single thing about chalkie apart from that its a titanium brick.

*find stats*

Go without those skirts for the fight to save damage...

*goes off to look for Mega Mashers stats*

I can not find then at all, so until someone points me into the correct page where the stats are, my tactics and set-up later

[dinowarrior]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Well, are you looking hard enough? Well, here they are anyway.

MEGA MASHER 2

Weight: 100 kilos
Body Shape: Minion
Speed: 12mph
TC: 0
GC; 0 at front, 1mm at sides due to skirts.
Wheels; 4 inner.
Armour: A nice 3mm of steel
Power: Similar stuff to what Tornado uses.
Colour: Red and yellow.
Weapons; The front is a wedge, and the back has a nasty vertical disc, powered by its own motor and spinning at 2000 rpm. It can probably flip as well as damage. A side Minion style bar comes out from the side.
Srimech: The aforementioned bar rights the robot, even though it can run inverted.
Inspiration; This is probably the only robot I have where I have had no inspiration. It just came as a good name.
Strengths: Power, weaponary
Weaknessess: A little bulky, not as heavy as the body would suggest.

BIO
Mega Masher is still hell bent on robot destruction. Whether you think of him as the baddest, most brutal robot ever or just a power crazed crazy thing - just dont tell him when his disc is spinning at full throttle! His wedge is also dangerous; being one of the lowest out there. Dont trust this robot to lose as far as you can throw him! Even better, dont try to throw him at all; hes based around Battlebot champion Minion, and way too bulky for flipping.

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Oh well that said Ill go after Mega Masher. I should be able to tear the armour up nicely, which is more than I can do against the others. After that Ill head for Chalkie.
