Round 2

Battle Raptor 4 vs. Back to Rock 2

So after 17 days, I finally have enough time to do the fights, so woo for me, because fanfics generally now have basically fallen to the bottom of my to-do list, and I had enough with coursework today.

In the red square, Battle Raptor 4, this took out Flank Attack 2 in the first round via a good flip over the arena fence.

In the blue square, Back to Rock 2, this took out Walk Away in the first round via a good flip using the arena spike, before pitting the house robot.

Both robots are in the arena, the doors have been locked, as the flags are flying, in this world cup game, Holland against England.

Both robots are away from the starting squares, as Battle Raptor 4 gets up to speed quicker, but Back to Rock 2 comes ploughing towards Battle Raptor 4, as Richard tries to dodge the initial attack from Back to Rock to get his own wedge underneath the skirts to flip Back to Rock onto it€™s back, but Martijn is too quick, and counter-dodges the dodge, as both robots meet head on. The axe of Battle Raptor fires, hitting the front scoop of Back to Rock, but like the last battle, Martijn€™s robot goes straight underneath Battle Raptor€™s front end, as the lifting scoop starts to lift up Battle Raptor 4.

Richard fires the flipper and bounces away from Back to Rock, before coming back together, with an axe attack onto the straight sides, once, twice and three times, each time putting a little scar in the side, as Martijn turns Back to Rock around and slams into the front of Battle Raptor again, and once more Richard uses his escape plan to flip his robot away from Back to Rock, but Martijn is used to Richard€™s escape by now and comes slamming back into Battle Raptor 4 and lifts it up using the front bucket scoop, the front flywheel isn€™t doing anything, as it has stopped against the brick-like structure of Battle Raptor 4, but Richard flips once more, but ends up on it€™s back, the angle of lift proves to have a negative effect on Battle Raptor, as Richard€™s machine is on it€™s back, and quickly drives away, but it has no weapons upside down, as Back to Rock slams into Battle Raptor, lifting it up from the sides, and drives towards the pit release.

The pit has opened, as Martijn turns and driving Back to Rock, pushes Battle Raptor 4 towards the pit, and 10 seconds later, smoke is rising from the pit, as Battle Raptor 4 is dumped out of the tournament.

Cease

Back to Rock 2 wins over Battle Raptor 4 via Pitting in 3:58. Martijn€™s machine moves forward to the final.

Semi finals: Fight 2
Star 69 vs. Love Bite V2

In the red square, Star 69. This machine took out Salamander via knocking it out. What is worrying is that tonight is a night where no stars are shining.

In the blue square, Love Bite V2. Chris€™ machine easily took out Hit Me in round 1, by flipping it into the house robots.

And for the 2nd semi final, for the right to face the Dutch in the final, here we go:

Love Bite is straight out of the blue square, like a bullet from a gun, and is driving straight towards Star 69, which is spinning up to speed, Martyn drives away to dodge the oncoming vertical pincer machine, but Chris changes his direction using the speed controller system on Love Bite 2, and the first blood is made on Star 69.

Both robots are sent spinning away, with the impact on Love Bite€™s wedge, as Chris comes straight back at Star 69, before Martyn has time to breathe, and once more a quick change of direction, as the wedge comes into contact with Star 69, but once more, it is deflected unable to damage the welded Hardox chassis on Love Bite, as Chris comes in with a pincer attack, opening wide and pinching the spinning ring itself side-on.

However the power from Star 69 pulls Love Bite€™s grip away, but Chris is on to Star 69 again, with the flipper, and gets underneath the side with the wedge, stalling the spinner once more, before pushing Star 69 towards the house robot, which is getting its flipper ready to attack. Martyn is trying to drive away, but the wheels are not on the ground, so he can€™t.

Every Flip I Take, slams into Star 69, as both robots enter the CPZ, as Every Flip I Take flips Star 69 over, into the deep CPZ, as it back ups onto the spinner. Love Bite runs over and depresses the pit release button, as Martyn is trying to escape from the house robot, but the driver of the house robot is using advanced knowledge based software to predict the moves of Star 69, as Love Bite slams into Star 69, and flips it over into the corner once more. Every Flip I Take flips Star 69 once more, as Love Bite is underneath Star 69, unable to get a good grip with the pincers.

Martyn is trying to get away from Love Bite, but Chris has taken complete control of the battle and drives Star 69 towards the pit, before firing his flipper for the 2nd time, as Star 69 falls 6 feet into a dark place, where no stars will shine.

Cease

Love Bite 2 wins over Star 69 via Pitting in 2:54. Chris€™ machine moves forward to the final.

The Final Draw:
Love Bite V2 vs. Back to Rock 2

HAHA!

now, Love Bite V2, a nasty crusher really, although those pincers might have some trouble with my skirts

lift and pit, thats all I can say, cutting through 4 mm of Hardox aint easy, keeping out of his pincers might be hard too, so Ill just be very very careful I guess

The Final
Back to Rock 2 vs. Love Bite 2

And so, a chapter has almost been finished, after 9 seasons of FAR, 3 AI€™s, 2 VCL and countless other little tournaments which no-body can remember, we have arrived at the final of my last fan-fic, before I disappear into the dark night, to leave you in peace and quiet.

No one knows what its like; to be the bad man; to be the sad man; behind blue eyes.

In round 1, Back to Rock 2 overturned Walk Away before pitting the house robot, before in round 2, wins by pitting Battle Raptor 4.

In round 1, Love Bite 2 flipped Hit Me over into the house robot, which it got flipped onto its side, where Tim€™s robot couldn€™t self-right and was attacked by the evil claw. In round 2, Love Bite flipped Star 69 into the pit.

Who will win the championship mug, this piece of paper and a lovely red coat?

Martijn and Chris are in the control booths, overlooking the arena, where both robots are ready for action€¦

Love Bite 2 comes straight out of the red square, heading straight towards Back to Rock in the blue square, with the flipper facing Martijn€™s machine, as Martijn starts driving Back to Rock towards love Bite 2, before the two robots meet in the middle of the arena. Chris dodges around the sides of Back to Rock, as Martijn turns back to Rock around to stop Love Bite from getting underneath the rear end and flipping Back to Rock onto its top, where the self-righter is slow.

Martijn manages to prevent Chris€™ machine from getting around the back, but he knows he is on the back-foot, as Love Bite 2 is around the sides, waiting for the moment to break free. Chris turns up the power, as his robot accelerates to the maximum velocity of the drive system and breaks free from playing cat and mouse with Back to Rock, as Martijn is in trouble, as the wedge slips underneath the rear. The co2 flipper fires, as Back to Rock is turned onto its back, where it starts to self-right. Chris starts getting a smile on his face, as he rams into Back to Rock, knocking it off balance, as Love Bite rams into Back to Rock, and once more as Martijn tries to self-right, but Chris rams the upside-down Dutch robot into the arena hammer.

Back to Rock is on it€™s wheels again, but straight into the hammer zone, where the hammer comes down, knocking the lifter off, as Love Bite rams straight at the exposed front, and starts to claw into the exposed chassis, and pushes Back to Rock straight back into the hammer, where another blow to the top of the rock, and still no damage. Martijn finally gets on top and starts pushing Love Bite backwards, the wheels spinning on Chris€™ machine, as Martijn has more power. The claw has come open, after placing a nice dent in the chassis, as Chris selects reverse and spins out of danger.

The lifter drops on Back to Rock, as the dent is seen in the top. Love Bite 2 has opened the pit release and comes back from the button to face an onslaught from Back to Rock, as Martijn comes driving towards Chris€™ machine, with the front scoop in its lowest position, and spinner stopped. Chris turns Love Bite 2 around, but the wheels spin when he tries to put the power though then, as there isn€™t enough weight over the wheels to provide traction, as Back to Rock slams into Love Bite with a side attack, but pushes the double wedge robot to one side like a train.

Chris€™ skin has been saved for the time being, as Martijn turns Back to Rock around and tries to follow Love Bite 2, but Chris is getting a good lead, before turning around to ram at Back to Rock again, as both robots are coming together, but Chris does a dummy dodge, as Martijn falls for it. Love Bite slams into the side of Back to Rock and underneath the skirts. A quick flip later, sees Back to Rock on its top again, as Chris pushes Back to Rock towards the open pit. Martijn is trying to get a good grip to self-right, as Love Bite is looking to pit Back to Rock, as Martijn puts on the hydraulics and slowly rises from the floor, as suddenly it comes back. Love Bite loses grip on Back to Rock and shoots forward, narrowly on the edge of the pit.

10 seconds are left in the final, as Martijn turns Back to Rock and rams straight into Love Bite, as Chris tries to get away, but the front bucket scoop meets wedge as both robots are heading down the pit. Love Bite is down, as smoke rises from the ashes, before Back to Rock tumbles down following Love Bite, but the result has been decided.

Cease

In 4:59, Back to Rock 2 pits Love Bite V2 to win the Spanish Inquisition Tournament. Martijn has been handed the 3 prizes, and is smiling happily, but fails to notice the randomly placed, random thing and walks straight into it. Doh!

So, the end has finally come, all that€™s left for me to do is post this then bugger off.
