Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

HEAT THREE:
Calm Down Dear, its only a robot
Cosmic Thunder
The Circle Revisited
Yet Another Cut Above The Rest

Number one tactic: Flip flip flip! Try to flip them all and get points for it!

HEAT FOUR:
FBSDS
Son of Ripper
Son of Wedgie
Forklift

Hmm... this is going to be a bit harder. FBSDS has a self-righting arm at the top, but I dont want to have to use it that much. Try to spin up and keep to myself, if I get a clear shot of someones back, take it and hit them.

HEAT ONE:
Star 69
Dante
Meat Slicer 2
Balder

Meat Slicer 2 is Balders worst nightmare. It should easliy get under and really rip up the plow, tossing and turning him over. Dante really shouldnt be much of a problem either, since its an axle-bot, but well see.

HEAT FOUR:
Allanon
Chameleon
GeForce
Flank Attack

Stay away from GeForce, when I have to. Instead, go for Allanon. My armor should hold up to those spinners, and I should easily clamp him. From there, take him to hazards till hes dead. Then try to take GeForce from behind for teh wins!

HEAT THREE:
CDM
Windmill
Drumroll
Axeolotl

Windmilll want to go for Axeolotl since it has questionable armor. Im not faster than it but I should be able to get round the sides easy and smash him to bits. Drum Roll 2 will go for CDM, and rip up that wedge and possibly flip CDM over easy. Then Windmill should be able to rip off those vunerable wheels of Drum Roll 2.

HEAT FOUR:
Malaria
Argo
Kali
Pit Drone

Malaria should get underneath Agro, whatever Richard says. I do have that front weak lifting plate, which can press against the ground putting more weight on it, making it extremely low to the ground so thats what Ill do. Ill then get under Agro and start hammering, not letting him get away. Pit Drone, will go for the sides of Kali, getting under that high GC and really ripping up stuff with the disc. Then itll probably be Malaria who takes it.

It should easliy get under and really rip up the plow,

err...have you actually read what thats made of - its well over an inch of armour....

Besides I can tag team you... And Dante isnt an axle bot, it is just on two wheels

Sorry for the delay, been in a bad mood latley..., anyways heres the first heat, sorry if it winds up being off.

House Robots: Psycho Cyan Evolved and Shovearound 2

ACTIVATE!
Chris one and Chris two drive Dieceratops to Take Me Out, while Steven WHatsisname goes for QJS. Four powerful flippers, this ought to be good...
Dieceratops and Take Me Out go head on, but Take Me Out gets under! With a flip, Dieceratps does a full 360 backflip before landing. Dieceratops tries to get to the side of Take Me Out and toss it OOTA, but it winds up being a bad aim and Take Me Out lands right on the heated circular saw, which cuts into a wheel for a while before Take Me Out escapes.
Now, lets rewind and focus on Steven Whatsisname and QJS now.
Steven Whatsisname slips under QJSs CHaos 2 like flipper, and flips! Steven Whatsisname starts pushing QJS through the tunnel, but about halfway through, QJS hits the flipper and selfrights, but another flip from Steven Whatsisname makes QJS hit the celing of the tunnel then bounce back to the floor hard. Steven Whatsisname is almost finished when QJS Selfirights...but another flip from Steven Whatsisname and soempushing easily puts QJS into no-bots land. Steven Whatsisname runs like its being chased by Killer bees, and QJS tries to do the same, but Shovearound 2 charges into it and slams it into Psycho Cyans clampers. Psycho Cyans clampers clamp down, then go up....and then QJS is being ripped apart like a pig through a meat grinder! QJS decides to safrice its flipper to break free, and suceeds, but not before QJSs flipper is just about torn off and the rest of it looks like its almost been eaten by a lion! QJS tries to run away, but its no match for Shovearound 2 in top-top condition as Shovearound 2 gets under the weakened QJS, then decides to plow it right into one of the saws to finish it off.
Earlier with Dieceratops and Take Me Out...
Dieceratops gets sickened by Take Me Outs close shave, and gets right under it, fully positioned this time, and tosses it OOTA!
Take Me Out has been Taken Out by Dieceratops Re-Invertus! Thats one down, two more to go!
Steven Whatsisname shows up shortly after this, and both chriss wait for a sign that QJS is dead.
That sign dosent come, but Shovearound 2s Presence of barreling through the tunnel tells them that they better get the hell out of there ASAP! Dieceratops and Steven WHatisname smartly do so and do not interfere with Shoveaorund 2 Slamming the reamins of QJS into the front saw of the arena...and shatters the saw in the process! Now QJS is nearly sliced in two and can barley move at all...Not enough for Shovearound 2! Shovearound 2 takes QJS to one of the arena flippers..and BAM! QJS is shot upwards like a cannonball and nearly hits the celing with all its lost weight...then comes down HARD and looks about finished. Electronics burst out, a drive motor fell out on the way down, not moving..it looks like the robot that wouldnt go down has finally done so.
QJSs long name is the most of whats left of it! Thats one more robot needed to go out...
Chris and his clone agree on flipping a coin to decide who goes out,
and its..Steven whatsisname who will commit suicide!
Just as Steven Whatsisname is drving to the pit, Chris decides to give him a small flip to put him in for fun.
Now we know what no, not steven whatsisnames name really IS: MUD! Dieceratops proves that dinosaurs HAVENT truley become extinct yet, and takes the first place in the bracket 1 final heat!
Hope you enjoyed it. Next one up later today.

ok y dont u(chris make the design then)

[swiss_tony]

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

Tim, its YOUR design: YOU make it. Quit relying on others so much that proboblay wont do anything for you [just asking people to write fights just like that, using others robots as possible entries for other people to enter, etc.]
Buzz off Tim, and STOP ruining my tourny.
Sorry about this everyone, but this guy has just gotten on my last nerve.

[andrewj]

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

Tim, I understand you like making new threads so why dont you make a sepperate one so we can all help you design a vapourbot.

[dogbot4000]

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

thank you Andy thats a good idea Im doing it just now

[swiss_tony]

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

Apologies for the long delays, but with Tim out of the way and my comp functioning again, I can continue the fights!

Battle Raptor and Death Adder immeditley look towards Psyclonic, who is pretty screwed here! 2 axes and a anti-spinner! Andy tries to get the powerful FBS out of the axes way, but Death Adder gets a short area away and brings the axe down! Battle Raptor flips it, but the FBS shell hits the axe of Battle Raptor, which goes flying! Talk about a great opening! Richard 1 is going to have to be more careful! Chalkie charges towards Psyclonic, which means all three robots are going after him...but Daves lifting sword gets amputated by Psyclonic when the two collide! Dave tries backing up with the rear skirt, but both skirts on the rear are ripped off by the power of Psyclonic! Both Richards decide to do it without Dave, and Death Adder backs off...which lets Psyclonic clip the side of Detah Adders ring, which takes a large chunk out of it! Andy is thinking this might turn out well after all, before Death Adder gives him another taste of the axe! Psyclonic hits the ring again, taking out more peices of the ring! Battle Raptor tries to charge with the flipper and see if it will do anything, but the flipper is torn off! Psyclonic has de-weaponed two robots, but Death Adder will be active for quite some time, as it hits Psyclonics top again! Andy deicdes Death Adder has to go soon, and hits a part of Death Adder where the ring used to be, leaving it defenseless. Some skirts go flying, causing more damage to Death Adder! In the meanwhile, Psyclonic deicdes to finish off Battle Raptor, who has been de-equipped of its weaponry, and takes a large chunk of armor off the front! Another hit tears even more armor off, leaving Battle Raptor nearly armorless on the front! Another hit tears away a few electronics, and Psyclonic hits one more time to add insult to injury, tearing more electronics out and leaving the front inactive, with some more electronics torn out! Battle Raptor isnt going to move anymore, as Richard 1 puts down his controller.
Battle Raptor has fought one battle too many! Thats one down, but who will the next two be?
Death Adder heads to avenge Battle Raptor, but Psyclonic hits another area of the ring, leaving almost none of it left! Another hit tears off some more skirting, but Death Adder counterattacks, slamming the axe into Psyclonic again, hitting a area that was axed before! Suddenly Psyclonic is having difficulty moving, the axe must have hit a motor! Death Adder hits three more times, the hole getting bigger with each times, and Psyclonic has stopped moving! What was one of the strongest forces here has been eliminated!
Psyclonic gets caught in a cyclone! Who will go through to the next round?
Chalkie sees this as its chance, and charges into Death Adder full force, and manuvers slightly to get it into the house robot area! Richards clone is trying hard to get away, but Chalkies speed is getting it there fast! Death Adder has to do something, but the axe isnt facing chalkie! And eventually, Chalkie gets to the house robot area and runs like the wind! Death Adder tries to follow, but SUNCUST grips it, which might have chomped a camshaft! Hurricane Hugo comes in,spinning like a drunk, and hits Death Adder, sending both SUNCUST and Death Adder spinning away! Death Adder can only barley move, with part of the camshafts disabled, SUNCUST decides to put the poor thing out of its misery by clamping it again and ramming it open-side first into Hurricane Hugo, which tears alot of electronics out and even another part of the camshafts! Death Adder isnt going to keep moving after that haymaker, so Chalkie has won with help from the hosue robots!
Death Adder has met its death after a great preformance, as Chalkie dosent get Chalked as it gets the second place in the bracket 1 final! Only two spots left, who will get them?
That was long. Hope it was worth the delay. Next fights up soon.

ACTIVATE!!

Mortgage box rushes MORD right from the start, and with the excellent acelleration, gets there in no time, grips and lifts, and heads right for the pit trigger? Is Richard done for already?Maybe....NOT! Achilles heads right in with its flipper and tosses Mortgage with MORD still in it, who slips out and lands on its right side! MORD decides its time for a little payback and lifts up the scoop and starts tearing into Mortgages side! Mortgage gets a torn up side from the 20kg drum and gets flipped over a couple times before landing. Mortgage charges over to Call Out Hook to see if it can get some luck there, but Martyn sees Dave coming and launches the hook, letting it land into Daves wheel and retracts it, and a large bit of the wheel is taken out. Dave swerves off course, and Martyn gets in another blow to another wheel. Dave tries to line himself back up, knowing his control is seriously damaged here and needs to get a sure shot, but Martyn dodges and hits yet another wheel and retracts it. Alex decides this foolish nonsense has gone on long enough and charges into Mortgage and flips it out of the arena!
Mortgage has failed to make its payment! Who will join it the eliminated wastebin?
Meanwhile, Call out Hook and MORD2 have a go at it: Call Out Hook slams the hook into MORDs top, but it has done basically nothing! MORD2 lifts up Call Out Hook then pushes it into the house robot area...going...going...going...
GONE! Rich dumps off Call Out Hook into the depths of SUNCUST and SHovearound 2s lair, and then makes a run for it! Martyn tries to escape as well, but SUNCUST denies it and crunches through the turret...Call out Hook isnt of much use now! SUNCUST releases it then hands it over to Shovearound 2, who charges through the tunnel as it lifts up Call Out Hook...
Meanwhile, MORD2 and Achllies go at it. Achllies flips MORD over, but MORD lifts up the scoop, then clamps down on Achlliess side, then starts letting the drum rip into Achllies, though the good armor is ressiting it for quite some time...MORD rams into the pit trigger Mortgage failed to reach earlier, and Shovearound 2 has entered the fray, still pushing Call out Hook at a frightining speed, as Call Out Hook is placed onto the arena flipper, and cant get away in time, as it goes up, up and away and...not flipped! The turret has snapped off, but thats about all. Achllies flips, and this time, Call out Hook is down, as MORD2 pushes it into the pit...
Call out Hook has been called out, as just one more robot needs to be eliminated...
...But just as Call out Hook is pushed down the pit, Achllies has started a little conga line and is behind MORD! MORD isnt going in, with the rear resisitance trying to back off and retreat, but Shovearound 2 decides to teach that cheating greek hero a lesson and pushes them BOTH down the pit!

Were going to a judges decision here. Quite hard, as not much between these two robots occured.

Agression: MORD: 9 Achllies: 8
Damage Given: MORD: 9 Achllies: 8
Damage Taken: MORD: 9 Achllies: 8
Control: MORD: 9 Achllies: 8

In a difficult decision due to such a breif fight, it was fairly clear MORD was doing more than Achllies was, and therefore, MORD wins, but barley. So therefore, Achlliess heel has been found, and MORD Destroys its way into the Bracket 1 final.

Alex: Yes, I know i didnt speel Achllies right. Sorry. :P

Oh yes, and NSIREC was disorginised before, so I present to you the NSIREC board to find all info when you need it: [With the format changed slightly]

There. Apologies for the long delay and quick fight, I know I take forever for fights. Next Melee hopefully tomorrow.

ROUND 1
NEXT BATTLE
Allanon VS CHAMELEON VS Flank Attack VS GeForce

Razer-esque cruncher and scoop today. Allanon will be first on the hit-list: basically just try and outpush it with the better traction and attempt a pitting
After that, I think GeForce will be next - try to charge in when the flipper is open and crunch the electronics exposed with the arm. Keep a good grip on and attempt another pitting.
As for Flank Attack, stick to rear attacks, clamp and try for Pitting no.3

Dont stop now, Tony!

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

Go for Allanon, and grabble it with my good strong claws. Next go for GeForce, and help Steveo out by driving up and over the flipper wedge, as to open up the flipper for Steves claws. Then, when GeForce is done with go for Chameleon so that his plow fits right between my arms and stops at my plow, so that my crusher can get under his sides and I pit. Hopefully.

[alex_holt]

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

Oh why go for my poor little allanon? what has it ever done to anyone?

[swiss_tony]

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

Alex, you do know the next heat is actually Slammer/HHISTWT/Panicking/Gigabyte, right? If youre wodering why im not telling htis to steve, I asked him to post tactics for that fight so I wouldnt have to wait on him if I got impatient and wanted to do the fights now after having others wait a long time for the fights, so they wouldnt be held up longer. [Well, this only holds true to interchangable robots, as I can easily write fights without tactics for non interchangable robots.]
Melee will be written later.

[siphai]

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

O-K!

Well, at least youve got my tactics there as well. =P

[swiss_tony]

Not-So Insane Robotic Elimination Challenge!

I havde some bad news. This tourny will be cancelled, I just dont have time for it anymore. It looks like FRA might die after all, with only Mechanical Noise and EnigimaTek to lie back on, as Aaron rarley writes any fights and one writer just isnt good enough to keep FRA alive.
Oh, and one more thing:

























DO YOU REALLY THINK I MEANT THAT?!?!

Haha, just kidding. Sorry if anybody actually fell for it and got too mad.
And now, to the fight...

Slammer will be using the wedge setup, I asked Alex over MSN.

House Robots: Hurricane Hugo and Psycho Cyan Evolved

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

Slammers wedge setup might not prove to be great here, every robot here is invertible! Except for HHISTWT, but that can self right, unless the bar breaks...
With a evil snicker in his mind, Alex drives Slammer over to HHISTWT, and activates the bottom shrimech, flipping it! HHISTWT goes spiraling out of control, the bar starts hitting the floor again and again taking peices out of it, it bounces off the pit release button and still keeps going! Finally Panicking rams into it and gives it a good slam into the wall! Looks like the torque of Daves bar worked aginst him there, as he just kept going and going and going, and wouldnt stop! But right after HHISTWT is rammed into the wall, it goes berserk again from the inpact! Some of the bar on both ends was taken out from the previous bouncefest, and that isnt helping the berserked control any. Dave sighs and decides enough is enough, and shuts off the blade. HHISTWT lands on its feet, but not for long, as Slammer flips him over!
Panicking starts pushing it as Dave turns the weapon back on ina attempt to self right, but it cant get back up fast enough as Panickings blazing fast speed has pitted it already.
HHISTWT Has Hopefully Intered Surley The Western Trails! [Why couldnt it have been HHISETWT to actually make sense, Dave?] Thats one down easily, but will the rest be just as easy?
Gigabyte sees his chance and grabs Panicking and starts driving towards the pit..but whats this?! Slammer is sneaking up from behind, and flips Gigabyte into the pit...with Panicking still in its grasp!
CEASE!
Alex thinks hes won and does a little victory dance by activating the shrimech on bottom and then on top so it rocks back and forth...but our judges disagree! They say since Panicking wasnt technically IN the pit, but in Gigabytes grasp, it will have to face Panicking before going through. As for Gigabyte, well, it bit off more than even a GigaByte could chew, and is out of the melee.
3...2...1...ACTIVATE!

Panicking charges out without wasting time and tries to sneak around to Slammers back, but Slammers 2 Wheel Drive allows it to turn quickly and flip it all the way over! Martyn gets angry and tries the side again, not knowing what else to do and is met by Alexs flipper again! Martyn decidess the third times the charm and charges one more time...but you guessed it: flipped again! martyn is getting tired of this game and charges towards the rear with the forks up and clamps down, then takes Slammer to the flipper for a taste of its own medicine:
The flipper throws both robots high into the air, and Slammers wedge has been bent..as have Panickings lifting forks! Slammer charges to see if it can still get under Panicking, and it can!..but barley, and mainly due to Panickings bent lifting forks, which cant get under Slammer. Slammer drives over to the house robots zone and drops Panicking off. Panicking is fast, But Hurricane Hugo is quicker and slams into Panickings side, which tosses the polycarb side away and sends Panicking spiraling into Psycho Cyan Evolved, who grabs it and lifts it into the discs of death... and the polycarb is chewed off faster than a lawnmower eating corn on the cob! The tyres are torn apart, most of the vunrable electronics are torn out and ripped apart, theres no way Panicking can still move like this, but Hurricane Hugo gives it one more for good measure to tear off the other side of Polycarb, and Martyn resorts to using his horrible english to torture the drivers so no more is done to his creation.
Panicking Panicked too much! Slammer Slams into the final place of the Bracket One final!

Bracket 1 Final:
Dieceratops Re-Invertus VS Chalkie VS MORD2 VS Slammer

So..how bout them tactics for once
