ROUND 2
SEMI-FINAL 1
INTENSITY Vs ULTRAVERTER (9)

House Robots - Dulcy and The Taxman

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

And so, the two Red Square homages open this duel of the duplicates with a traditional head-on clash! With the weightier skirts, UltraVerter gets the upper hand and scrapes beneath Intensitys own flipper-stopper strips! Just getting part of its nemesis onto the top-mounted flipper, the No.9 seed activates its weapon and tosses the newbie forwards in a loop-the-loop before it lands upright again! Just as Tom comes in for a second assault, Mr Knight swerves past the oncoming pyramid and bashes into the more experienced machines side! Although finding it very hard to get underneath the uber-skirting, that isnt stopping Intensity from pushing it and the Aussie newbie shoves its rival nearly right up to the top of the ring before Lord Roper wriggles free! Seeking revenge, UltraVerter charges back underneath the eight-wheeled lookalike and (keeping passive for the time being) rams it into Dulcys top corner! The mighty House Robot lets loose a burst of flame from her metallic jaws and tries ramming her fresh victim deeper into her domain...when Aaron notices that shes just ridden up one of his wedges! Immediately, Intensity powers further underneath and flicks the diabolical dragon off the ground with the spring-powered arm! Landing back on her wheels with a thud, Dulcy is naturally dazed as Mr Knight uses this time to sneak back into the arena at large! Just as he starts heading for UltraVerter, though, he hears a familiar siren. Toms gone and activated the Void and now hes charging back towards Intensity! Narrowly dodging the oncoming assault, the two similar machines are then waged in a sort-of stalemate, each trying to encircle the other in a waltz of woe! But the dance fever is quickly vaccinated as UltraVerter utilises the slightly better control and crashes into its rivals side again! Scraping back underneath, Tom fires the flipper and sends the fellow Red Square lookalike hurtling several feet into the air before tumbling back down on its back! With the newbie now easy prey for the CO2 arm, our No.9 seed dashes over to give it some more air time! However, Intensity successfully dodges the latest ram and (after charging nearer the bottom of the ring for some space) uses its own arm to flick itself back upright again! Just as the eight wheels touch the ground, though, UltraVerter shoots back over and clips the side of the fellow Aussie! Whirling around, Aarons creation slams into the slowed veterans side and begins shoving as hard as the eight wheels will possibly allow towards the Void! In panic, Tom twirls the veteran around just in time and drive back under its similar opponent! However, Intensity manages to scoot off its more experienced rival before the flipper can kick in and after some manic scrabbing around by the edge of oblivion, Aaron manages to hit the PTT3 bronze medallists side and send the No.5 seed cascading down into the abyss below!

CEASE!!!!!

UltraVerter suffers ultra humiliation, as the No.5 seed disgraces the name of Red Square!
INTENSITY GOES THROUGH TO ROUND 3!!!

ACTIVATE!!!!!!!!!!

Almost immediately, Wedga REVO is out of its starting spotlight and charging across the ring to crash into Hacked-Off Hakas front! The flipping arm proves just lower than the seeds strip and and with a burst of CO2, Matts mad axebot quickly finds itself upside-down! Wasting not a breath, Andy doesnt back down and starts pushing the inverted pyramid side-on towards the nearest wall! However, before Mr J can reach his destination, Hakas hammer activates and happily rolls the No.24 seed back onto its wheels! Eager for vengeance, the more experienced PTT veteran dashes into Wedgas side and gives the titanium top a few good whacks! The irritated NSBFL7 Finalist now turns around in anger and tries to get another flipping in, but Hacked-Off Haka just darts away to the rear and lets loose a couple more blows from the hammer! Infuriated at the dents starting to be bashed into his creation, Andy whirls his creation around and chases after Mr Fowlers machine as it tries to reverse away! As the faster machine, it isnt long at all before AJ catches up, scrapes under the side and inverts it with one sharp flick! This time keeping under the topsey-turvey front end, Wedga rams the upsey-down Haka into the closest fence and activates the arm! With a fresh explulsion of CO2 to accompany it, the No.24 seed is send somersaulting over the barrier and out of its third PTT!

CEASE!!!!!

Hacked-Off Haka once again gets the chop, but Im sure the No.24 seed will be hak again another day!
WEDGA REVO V2 GOES THROUGH TO ROUND 3!!!

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

HEAT E - THE STORY SO FAR:
ROUND 1
ULTRAVERTER (9) & WEDGA REVO V2 won their battle after AJ threw All Hell out the ring and the seed tossed Dante over the fence too!
HACKED-OFF HAKA (24) & INTENSITY won their battle after the seed grappled n pitted Pussycat and the newbie propped n OOTAed Death Adder 3!

ROUND 2
INTENSITY surprisingly pitted No.9 seed UltraVerter after much shoving from the Red Square lookalikes
WEDGA REVO V2 tossed No.24 seed Hacked-Off Haka out the ring in very little time!

Intensity vs Wedga Revo (Version 2.0)

Pretty even this one Id say. Two flipper bots with skirting all around, good armour and drives with a bit of torque in them.

However if there is a difference between the two of us is that I have a more powerful drive system so technically if we go head to head I should be able to get under first and throw it onto its back. From there I can shove it around and if it wants to self right it has to propel itself away from Wedga Revo and into/over whatever is behind it (with luck the arena wall).

If it wants to get under and flip me it has to get get under my skirting with its skirting, get me on top and then flip where as I should be able to drive in with the solid wedge, plough under the skirts and then toss it straight over using my flipping arm.

It probably wont work and Aarons no doubt got a plan to mean none of that happens. But we shall see... :P

Intensity vs Wedga Revo (Version 2.0)

Well I do have a slight dis-advantage based on the fact that I have to get him up half way on top of Intensity before I can flip him. But either, I still have a plan on how to get under him.

Im basically going to try to ram the corner of my skirts into the flat leading edge of his skirts. With all the force on the edge of my hardox skirts it should be like driving a wedge between two blocks of wood, hopefully lifting his skirt/wedge up and and letting me under. This tactics will require a bit of driving skill, but with the traction and low CoG Intensity has, I think it will be achieved very easily.

If he gets under me, Im going to most likely drive off the flipper before he flips me due to the fact I have 8WD on Intensity which means I should always have more then 2-3 wheels on the ground at once.

My basic plan, once under Wedga Revo, is to beach him, drive to the wall and then flip him over the wall.

Its a spring thing....

INTENSITY Vs WEDGA REVO V2

House Robots - Scream and Uncle Sam

ACTIVATE!!!!!!!!!!

Starting off todays match like a pair of Formula 1 racers, our two competitors collide with a crunch in the middle of the warzone! Proving just the lower as predicted, Wedga REVOs arm scrapes underneath Intensitys skirts! However, Aaron quickly jams his machine into reverse just before Andy can fire and so the flipper merely flicks the newcomers front off the ground rather than throw the whole machine over! Clattering back onto the floor, the conqueror of UltraVerter then duely dodged another ram from Wedga before twirling round to the more experienced machines side! Thanks to the force of its own change, Intensity has succeeded in getting past those side-skirts! But just as it starts riding up the sloping front towards that top-mounted flipper, the PTT4 veteran gives a great jerk and rolls off the newcomer back onto solid ground! For a few moments, the duo play tentatively, each trying to make their way to the others side. Taking a chance and putting on a little burst of speed, Andy charges back under Intensitys side and fires the flipper almost at once! This time, Aarons creation is thrown nearly 6ft into the air and crashes onto its back with quite the din! Immediately, Mr Knight tries to manouevre the invertible pyramid away for a good place to self-right - all those inverted wedges are nothing but flipper bait at the moment! However, Andy charges back into the newbie barely before the tossing arm is relowered and rams his rival side-on straight towards the nearest wall! Mere moments away from a flight over the fence, Aaron takes a risk and fires his own flipper just before Mr J attempts another OOTA! Intensity hops into the air like a large roboticized flea, but thankfully lands just beside Wedga the right way up again! Seeking revenge, the newcomer dashes for the PTT veterans side, but Andy twirls around in the nick of time and clobbers the Red Square lookalike, virtually stopping it in its tracks! Just as Aaron tries to remanouevre into an attack position again, REVO scrapes itself under one of the skirts again and inverts the pyramid for a second time! This time barely stopping to draw breath, Andy slams his upside-down nemesis against the fence and easily tosses the AJWars Semi-Finalist over the barrier and onto the camera track below! Starting to get rather battered now, isnt it?

CEASE!!!!!

Intensitys performance lacks passion and ends up over the fencity!
WEDGA REVO V2 GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES SEMI-FINALS!!!

Congratulations to Andy Jackson!

ROUND 1
Axe-o-Lotl VS Fragmentor VS Not Another Pushover 3 VS Voltronic (11)
Achilles (22) VS Glasgow Kiss VS Panic Attack VS Slice n Dice on Steroids

FYI, Glasgow Kiss is the same as it was in PTT4, due to Scotty not giving the stats for its latest incarnation.
Also, just need a couple of things from Aaron about Fragmentor: really just the shape and whether the disc is horizontal, vertical or angled in some weird way.

Thoughts? Tactics? Enjoy Round 3?

Thank you

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Ill go for PA, mainly because it cant do much to me, pnuematics for today I think. Then Ill go for whichever seems to have the upper hand, because I like easier later rounds.

[dinowarrior]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

My tactics...keep back and keep pummeling ANYONE who gets in my way. If a robot has a dodgy GC, drive underneath and use my Storm like force to deal with it aprropriatly.

[matt_macdonald]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Chris, where are the stats for Axe-O-Lotl?

[dinowarrior]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Check in The Not-So-Insane Tourny that Tony is holding and they are there as clear as day. My stats are, I think, the first ones you come to. Axe-O-Lotl is the 7th robot you come to.

[velociraptor]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

SYNDOS will go for Panic Attack first and just try to smash it apart with the disc, then go for Glasgow Kisss sides and weapon, and smack Achilles if it attacks as well.

[matt_macdonald]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Not Another Pushover 3s Tactics:
Go for Axe-O-Lotl first from the sides, and attack the weak underbelly and perhaps slice up the wheels to immobilise it, and pit it on the first chance possible. Then go for Voltronic and get under and push it, attack the underbelly/wheels, and then getting it down the pit on the first chance as well.

[knightrous]

Pussycat Tribute Tournament 5

Axe-o-Lot VS Fragmentor VS Not Another Pushover 3 VS Voltronic (11)

Ill go after Voltronic first, hopefully tearings some pieces out of all the square edges and corners. Ill aim for around the wheels to attack and hopefully jam the side panel into the wheel, immobilising it. After thatn Ill go after who ever is closer.
