Thanks. The fact that Ive written up all the stats for the All-Star robots means that I probably should finish it. I dont know how long itll take, but it will be done.

w0rd... I didnt even have to enter to win

[dinowarrior]

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On

FROM SURREY: DANTOMKIA
This robot only started life in Series 6...and yet it still made it to the Semi Final of both S6 and S7, beating some nasty looking robots on the way. This compact box-wedge design is nippy, with two wedges that stick out like spikes, and the main weapon...the infamous CO2 powered flipper, the flipper that has flipped more robots out of the arena than any other robot in the histroy of Robot Wars. Capable of also spinning at speed, Dantomkia is a force to be reckoned with, but it is unreliable.

FROM ST LEONARDS-ON-SEA IN EAST SUSSEX; GEMINI
Double trouble here, literally. This is Robot Wars first and still most successful clusterbot. Entering the warzone as one, Gemini can split into two seperate machines and cause double the trouble as per normal. To make things worse, each half of the Gemini twins has a powerful flipper capable of flipping five times its own body weight. Each machine only weighs half as much as their oppodents to fit into the regulations though, and if one machine is immobilized, the whole machine is out, so will Gemini be a shooting star, or a falling star?

FROM BANBURY IN OXFORDSHIRE; HYPNO-DISC
Spin to win, thats the motto of Hypno-Disc. The most famous spinning robot ever, Hypno-Disc shocked the world when it tore armour off its first oppodent easily. The 800RPM spinning flywheel is awesome in battle, and can cut through anything, not to mention bash the insides of any unfortunate robot that gets in the way. It also has spikes and a srimech, but it has low pushing power and the wheels are exposed.

FROM EAST TILBURY IN ESSEX; SPAWN AGAIN
No robot is faster than Spawn Again, even if they wanted to. This high wedge shape robot doesnt take any competitors lying down, it has a massive flipper that not only flips long, but high. In fact, it could probably go down as one of the largest flippers in the competition. It has a high success rate as well, being a semi finalist on four occasions. However, Spawn Again is well known for its reliability problems, so it may not be long until it dies...again.

ROBOTEERS STAND BY

Booth 1: Dantomkia and Spawn Again
Booth 2: Hypno-Disc and Gemini
House Robots: Cassius Chrome and Dead Metal

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

Hypno-Discs devilish flywheel starts spinning, as we know it will do. Its fast, and deadly. Gemini splits. Dantomkia makes a head on collision with Hypno-Disc and gets a nice little gash for its troubles. Not much though. Spawn Again comes in from the side, and flips Hypno-Disc up into the air. HypnoDisc lands a little awkwardly and falls onto its back. Gemini flips Dantomkia and Spawn Again at the same time (each twin takes one), but both self-right, as does Hypno-Disc. However, that flip stopped the disc for a bit, making Hypno a little vulnerable at this stage. Spawn Again gives it a shove to take advantage...gets it close to the arena wall...flips...BUT MISSES! Hypno-Disc just about gets away, the disc still spinning. Dantomkia and one Gemini twin clash into the side of Spawn Again. Ggemini tries to flip, but misses and flips itself. It rights, avoiding getting caught on its wheelie. Hypno-Disc hits the other Gemini twin from the side...OH, THAT WAS MORE THAN A GASH! The light armour prooved too light for Gemini. Arguably the biggest weakness of a clusterbot. Dantomkia charges in and flips that twin, which isnt self-righting. I think something happened with that flip! Hypno-Disc is now bullying Spawn Again...again. This time it hits the front...and is flipped again! The disc stops again. The Gemini half still alive flips it. Hypno-Disc self-rights...right onto Dantomkias body. Dantomkia drives Hypno-Disc to the arena wall...flips...and is MORE SUCCESFUL! Hypno-Disc are out of the arena. Meanwhile, Gemini is in serious trouble. The upside down half is still not moving and the other is being bullied by Spawn Again...who now hits the pit release button. Refbot has just moved in on the beached and I believe dead Gemini twin. It had not righted and the other one simply cant get to it. No, dont try and ride on Spawn Agains flipper to get over...I SAID DONT! NOW LOOK WHATS HAPPENED! Youve just been flipped out of the arena by Spawn Again. That just leaves the other twin to be counted out...and the fight is over. Effortless victory for Dantomkia and Spawn Again.

CEASE

Spawn Again and Dantomkia go through.

NEXT FIGHTS
Firestorm 5 vs Dantomkia
Terrorhurtz vs Spawn Again.

Nice, two grudge matches.

[dinowarrior]

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On

FIRESTORM 5 VS DANTOMKIA

House Robots: Shunt and Matilda.

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!!
This should be interesting. Firestorm charges straight into Dantomkia, gets underneath and flips it onto its back straight away. Firestorm did beat Dantomkia in the second All-Stars championship...ooh, and has it won again already? Dantomkia is simply not self-righting, at all. Theres no movement. Firestorm gives it a nudge, but nothing is happening. I wonder if, when Hypno-Disc hit Dantomkia earlier, the removable link holder had been damaged, and now its completely come out. Refbot is counting Dantomkia out as Firestorm hits the pit release button. Dantomkia is counted out. Shunt advances, hits Dantomkia a few times, then pushes it into the pit. How disapointing.

CEASE

Firestorm goes through!

---

TERRORHURTZ vs SPAWN AGAIN

House Robots: Sir Killalot and Growler

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

Another grudge match. Terrorhurtz beat Spawn Again in the semi-finals of Series 6, and now they have to fight Spawn Again...again. Spawn Again tries to get underneath, but the low ground clearance prevents it. Terrorhurtz fires the axe! It hits the target! But at the same time, it jumps, allowing Spawn Again to get underneath and flip Terrorhurtz over. Almost straight away though, Terrorhurtz self-rights, and comes back on the attack. It hits Spawn Again on the side numerous times, and there is very little it can do here to stop it. Spawn retreats...straight into Growler, he wont like that! Shove Spawn out of there...right into another axe blow from Terrorhurtz. Spawn Again is getting battered here with no way of actually getting underneath Terrorhurtz. Its next to obvious which way the battle should go. Terrorhurtz hits the pit release button...OH, TOO MUCH FOR SPAWN AGAIN, hes just flung himself straight into the pit, what an exit.

CEASE

Terrorhurtz goes through.

NEXT FIGHT
Firestorm 5 vs Terrorhurtz.

Should be a good fight

[dinowarrior]

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On

OK, here it goes.

House Robots can be Sgt Bash and Shunt.

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

Well, heres the second of our All Star qualifier finals. The two move out to attack, but Firestorm, thanks to its new wedge plate, is able to get clean underneath Terrorhurtz, unlike the last time they encountered. Terrorhurtz swings its axe, but misses. Firestorm drives towards the wall and fires flipper, but Terrorhurtz has scuttled free. It turns, and fires the axe, hitting the top of Firestorm, but we all know that Firestorm is fairly strong, and gets away. Terrorhurtz gives chase, as Firestorm hits the pit release button. Is it trying to get Terrorhurtz into the pit? Well, Terrorhurtz comes in again, but Firestorm drives, gets underneath again, drives further, stops...and activates the flipper which sends Terrorhurtz right into the pit! Very quick fight...OH, AND FIRESTORMS FLIPPED SGT BASH! Well, why not?

CEASE

Firestorm goes through to the All Stars final.

NEXT TIME
Tornado vs Panic Attack vs 13 Black vs Dominator 2
Razer vs X-Terminator vs Wheely Big Cheese vs Wild Thing 2.

I am determined to get this completed. Even if I go on where everyone else has finished.

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On

Well, I kinda gave up on the betting stuff. Its now just fights. If I feel like it. I mean, with the forums in this state and all my college work, it might be a while.

I have written up the next all stars battle though. I do intend to finish at least something.

[kodster]

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On

I hope so, Chris. The forum needs a big shock for people to swarm around here again.

CLEAR!

*BZZT!*

[dinowarrior]

Robot Wars Extreme: The Bets Are On

Surprise!

FROM DEELE IN KENT; DOMINATOR 2
You dont get any harder than this. Dominator 2 has competed in the UK championship three times, and has made the second round of the semi-final on all three occasions. This unique bi-wedge shape is covered in titanium apparantly used in submarines, and the weapon is an exceptinally powerful axe that can penetrate pretty much anything. However, the axe has to be facing the opposition in order to get a clean hit, which could prove difficult.

FROM CARDIFF: PANIC ATTACK
The winners of the second series of the wars, some would say Panic Attack is becoming old. Those more in the know would say it is still as persistant as ever. A low yellow box, Panic Attack is covered in real tough armour, difficult to puncture, skirts all around make it difficult to flip, and a set of powerful lifting spikes make it difficult to approach. All in all, a tough cookie, except that it has no srimech, and can be toppled.

FROM LEICESTERSHIRE; THIRTEEN BLACK
Well, you know what they say...If it aint broke, dont fix it! And thats exactly what 13 Black does, boosting not one but two, yes TWO, spinning flywheels. It also has a self-righting mechanism and the experience of a semi-final to boot. It can also run inverted, albeit hilariously. Sadly, it is unreliable.

FROM SAWTRY IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE; TORNADO
The winners of Series 6, Tornado has beaten almost every single All Star robot there is, including Chaos 2, Pussycat, Hypno-Disc and Razer. Another low, flat box on wheels, Tornado is invertible and doesnt care about being flipped at all. It also has incredible pushing power, and can push pretty much anything. Worst of all, it has an interchangable weapons section at the front, where they can put on a spinning flywheel, a wedge with flail and a lifting arm. All in all, a tough cookie...until it meets someone with similar pushing power, when at that point, all of the hard work is undone.

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY.

Booth 1: Dominator 2 and Tornado (using the scoop and chain).
Booth 2: Panic Attack and 13 Black.
House Robots: Shunt and Matilda.

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

And theyre off. Straightaway, Dominator 2 cruises towards 13 Black and hits the body with the axe. 13 Black has been having a few problems recently, and Dominator is sensing this, hitting it again with the axe. Meanwhile, Tornado has met a head-on collision with Panic Attack. It pushes back, but is lifted up slightly when Panic Attack raises those infamous forklift prongs. But Tornado has come away from the prongs, and now hits Panic Attack from underneath, getting under the front, and pushing it around the arena, with a few sparks here and there. Meanwhile, 13 Blacks discs are spinning, as is the entire robot. Is 13 Black playing defensive? Advice for Dominator 2, dont get any closer...ooh, but Tornado is coming in from behind, and pushes Dominator 2 RIGHT INTO THE SPINNING 13 BLACK! The axe crashes down, it seems OK. Panic Attack, free from the wrath of Tornado, has a go at Dominator, whilst Tornado now pushes 13 Black towards the arena side grinders; this is an interesting battle. Panic Attack lifts Dominator 2 up and over...is the axe stuck out? I think it is! I dont think Dominator 2 will be able to self right from there. This leaves Panic Attack to see what it can do about 13 Black. Tornado, meanwhile, has hit the pit release button. The pit decends. One of these robots may end up in the pit. Dont forget, this is all for a place in the All Stars ultimate final against Kat 3 and Firestorm 5. Dominator 2 will not be one of those robots, as Refbot counts it out. Tornado makes a charge at Panic Attack meanwhile. It isnt successful, it goes up the skirts. It tries again, same result. One more time...NOW it manages, Panic Attack turned a little too early. Now Tornado starts pushing Panic Attack (with some nice sparks), which is exactly what Shunt is doing to Dominator 2, right towards the floor flipper. Itll be flying any time soon...but meanwhile, Tornado is pushing Panic Attack dangerously close to the pit! Its teetering, its tottering!...ITS DOWN, Thanks to Tornado. Panic Attack is out...and Dominator has just flown through the air, thanks to the floor flipper. Lovely.

CEASE!!

Tornado and 13 Black go through. Now for the next battle...
