The Crash & Burn Tournament

Tactics? OK.

BULLDOG BREEDS TACTICS
Bulldog Breed has beaten Tough As Nails before, but I do know is that this is hardly going to mean anything. After all, it was a very close fight last time. Just get underneath the wheels, get him close then try and flip him out, or perhaps use the superior traction (which I think BB had last time) to get him pitwards. Otherwise, its the old catch me if you can routine.

Itd be interesting if I end up fighting Breed. Dont let that influence you though.

GO TAN TAN TAN TAN, tough as nails needs to get his claw into the wedge and stop him flipping.... its happened before with turbulence although turbulence got free

ROUND 1
CHAOS 2 VS Warrior SKF

Trust me to get Revenge of Trouble and Strife times a million. Hasnt Chaos suffered enough? Not much I can really do here, except keep to the sides and flip it near an arena wall before the disc gets up to speed. With any luck, itll probably OOTA itself for me. :wink:

ROUND 1
CHAOS 2 VS Warrior SKF

SKF has a good spin up as the weapon only does 1000rpm. Spin up, tear his wedge off, flip him out the arena...

The Crash & Burn Tournament

Okay, as of now, Bex has taken Tims place and his robot entries. That okay, Bex?

Anyway, lets get Heat F started!

Tough As Nails is a Dutch robot with rear wheels and two, giant hardox pincers. Its been painted pink with green specks just for this occasion.

Bulldog Breed is a big, bad wolf of a bulldog with a big, bad flipper. And if you dont take care, youll feel the bite and bark at the same time.

Theyve met, theyve fought, and Bulldog Breed came out on top last time. Will history repeat itself? Or will the Dutch robot have his way?

Roboteers, stand by...

Taki-san is finally out of her timeout corner and scouting the arena alongside Double Big Mac.

W00ty. And its TAN who comes out with the fists...err...pincers...flying. Bulldog Breed screams out of his spot a few seconds later, colliding with the arena wall. Now out of his trance, he puts the front wedge out at TAN and screams out again. TAN has Bulldog Breed in the pincers but is rammed into the wall all the same, and tossed up against the wall. Luckily, TAN lands on top of Bulldog Breed and off the rear, and now the tables have turned! TAN has got Bulldog Breed against the wall and in his pincers! The pincers clamp! Its all over now for Bulldog Breed! Or is it? Bulldog Breed pushes backwards and pulls forwards, trying to extricate himself from the grip, but its futile, and now TAN knows exactly where to put him! He backs into the pit release button, opening the pit, and goes for the suicide dive, flinging Bulldog Breed in first and, because hes clamped his opponent, falls in afterwards! Short fight!

CEASE!

Bulldog Breed is sent back to the pound.

Right....slammer to use its DOOMSADAY DEVICE attachment and destory earth and the disc alogn with it....Im sure its in the stats.....really.....

I suppose if you cant find that use the nooses designed specifically ofr killing the disc...get hold of it, slam it until it dies.

Third option....die myself.

The Crash & Burn Tournament

Moving up the chain!

Chaos 2 is even more familiar than Biohazard...if you live in England. Hes basically a wedge flipper with two wheels and a rounded top. Hes been really successful with two Series titles under his belt, but hes aged so much, will he really win another fight?

Warrior SKF is less familiar, but if youve seen him, you KNOW what damage potential hes capable of. Hes also got a wedge flipper, but also a deadly horizontal rear spinning ring. It may only reach 1000rpm, but its extremely powerful. Does he even have a weakness?!

Roboteers, stand by...

The house robots are Double Whamlet and Ancalagon the Black.

Chaos 2 is out and away, and Warrior SKF is chasing him down immediately, almost as fast as Chaos 2 himself. Chaos 2 goes around the arena, aiming for the front wedge of Warrior SKF since theres not really any other options except the sides, which are dangerous to approach. Ah! Chaos 2 just got under Warrior SKF and WHOA! Theres a flip! Warrior SKF is now inverted but he rights himself with the flipper. The disc remians spinning...strange. Chaos 2 rushes Warrior SKF again but Warrior SKF has had enough games and turns around to expose the disc ring. Chaos 2 thinks better of this because hes now doing an about face and going the opposite way. Warrior SKF follows the former RW champion around the arena. Chaos 2 decides now to let the house robots do some killing and heads over to Whamlets CPZ. Whamlet greets Chaos 2 with a shove, something Chaos 2 was expecting. Worse, hes pushed into the disc!
CRASH!
Well I think thats the end of Chaos 2s back end, because it doesnt seem like he has one, from that mangling! Heres Warrior SKF with a shove, and a flip! And Chaos 2s inverted, and Warrior SKFs disc coming and - AHHHH!!! Chaos 2s flipper just go torn apart! Umm...not good...since that was the only way that Chaos 2 could right himself. And Warrior SKF coming in with the disc again and OHMYGAWD!!! The side panel just goes flying off, and a lot of smoke is emanating from the exposed CO2 canister. The end is near for poor Chaos 2, and Warrior SKF confirms this by shredding off whats left of the flipper. The Watcher comes over to have a look. Im surprised hes not flying away screaming. And as the countdown begins, the house robots close in!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
And the end is here! Warrior SKF gets more destruction and shreds off some of the other side. Whamlet comes forward and grapples the broken former champion, slamming the twin axes down. I do say, Whamlet, dump him down the pit...nope, Whamlet takes the wreck over to Ancalagon, who starts destroying the remains with his discs...you know, Im not sure if George Francis will be able to put this poor robot back together...its not even a robot anymore, just broken motors and electronics...theres hardly anything to dump in the pit now, anyway.

CEASE!

Chaos 2? What Chaos 2? Theres no Chaos 2 anymore.

Why?

[kodster]

because you just gave tactics for TAN , and you seem to be coming into the FanFic section a lot...why not? youre a part of the crowd too. And I certainly dont to retain Tims name, eh?

The Crash & Burn Tournament

Disc will just do what it does. Target the wheel areas. They might not be exposed any more, but maybe I can jam or loosen something. Or jam and loosen something, which would rule

As for the noose... No special plans. I see it as one of those things that looks good on paper, but once you factor in real life issues like aiming it at a moving target from a pod at least ten feet away I think its just too hard to effectively use.

[kodster]

The Crash & Burn Tournament

Enough stalling! Lets get right to the grudge match!

Slammer V is an round-bodied axlebot by Lord Doomforall himself, Alex Holt, with two self-flippers and several head attachments. Its using the nooses for this one with the hopes of sliding the them around his opponents wheel hubs.

The Disc 5 is a semi-finalist of the first robot rebellion. A concept by Frank Goacher, it may look like an axlebot, but its actually got 6 wheels, 4 being used, and protected by giant hubs. Its weapons are the disc in the middle and the axle that spins with it. The axle has little tungsten teeth to prevent being gripped by vertical crushers.

Yet again, these two come. They see. But who will conquer?

The Disc rolls out to greet his unworthy adversary, as Slammer applies his tactics immediately, aiming carefully but missing his mark. Asterix spins omniously in his CPZ as The Disc comes forward and buries the oh-so-dangerous flywheel into Slammers wheel hub! Sparks fly, but the hubcap stays on, and The Disc backs away as Slammer comes forward to, er, slam his enemy into the wall. The Disc spins around and lightly taps Slammers rear with his own hub. Slammer rears into The Disc and is thrown up a bit as the flywheel comes back into play! The same hubcap takes another hit but remains steady. Slammer tries to ram The Disc but because of Slammers design it is not really effective against Franks monster. The Disc gets his weapon up to speed and Slammer bolts towards the pit release button, slamming into it, bouncing off and almost landing himself in there as well. The Disc rams him from behind and tears up the back end, throwing Slammer against the wall. Slammer activates the self-flipper to get himself off of the wall but The Disc comes in again and smashes the front of Slammer. Slammer tries vainly to get the nooses around the wheel hubs but it just isnt working. The Disc pushes Slammer into the pit release button, and theyre dangerously near the pit! Slammer pushes back and almost gets The Disc in the pit, just missing by an inch! And The Disc is trying to push Slammer in the pit but no; Slammer runs away towards the other side of the arena! The Disc is really peeved now and he continues to play the hunter as Slammer turns his attention to the house robots. He goes towards Asterix but the house robot has already perceived Alexs thought and so goes forward blindingly fast and throws Slammer up into the air a few feet. The Disc stops in front of Asterix and Slammer crashes down onto his opponent rather noisily. OH WHAT WAS THAT?! something came flying off the top of Slammer! Its one of the self-flippers! The flipper panel has come off! Somehow, that hit had loosened part of the flipper, and it just fell off! Now Slammer is in trouble, and taking damage from The Disc again! Its the other wheel hub, and its gone! Asterix returns to his CPZ, his job done. Perhaps he doesnt realize that The Disc is an enemy to him as well. And now Slammer has returned to the area near the pit, hoping The Disc will fall for this trick but unfortunately Frank does not fall for dire folly such as this. The Disc waits patiently between a CPZ and the pit, and Slammer is driving around randomly, and turns around to face the pit. The Disc charges right out, and hits the same wheel hub he hit two times before. It comes off this time, and Slammer is now in a predicament. Its wheels exposed, its armour chewed up, one of its flippers gone, and its nooses ineffective, Slammers only option is to try and trick The Disc into killing himself, but I dont really think thats going to work here. The Disc charges again, and Slammer reverses right into the wall; The Disc crashes into him a second later, tearing off another piece of armour. Slammer uses the other flipper...to push himself up against the wall. The Disc holds him there, then releases him two seconds later. Slammer gets away and once more returns to the edge of the pit. The Disc chases him down and again almost gets him down the pit, but Slammer makes a left turn and crashes into the wall again. He reverses, but The Disc is gone, so no hope of pushing The Disc into the pit. Speaking of The Disc, he rams Slammer from the back, chewing up the armour again! Slammer is now becoming rather tired of this fight and starts to circle the pit. The Disc just waits near the arena wall. Slammer stops circling and rushes The Disc, getting thrown onto his back for his efforts, and the front is really woebegone now, strips of metal torn out and bent. Slammer reverses away and The Disc catches up to him, pushing him into Exa-Gore-Ics CPZ. Exa-Gore-Ic, however, cant seem to find a good hold on Slammer...wait, theres the clamp on the extension in Slammers middle! Uh oh... and Asterix has remembered the encounter in the robot rebellion because hes trying to ram The Disc from the back - WOAH! Asterix and The Disc go flying! The Disc almost lands OOTA but falls on the railing and back on his wheels. Asterix lands, tumbling, and falls onto his back. Exa-Gore-Ic, meanwhile, has taken Slammer to the flame pit, and is cripsy-frying him there. Theres The Disc coming at Asterix now, and Asterix with the big wind-up, and POW! That hadda hurt both robots. The Disc goes flying and lands right near Exa-Gore-Ic, and ASTERIX IS IN THE PIT?!? Ouch! The hit caused Asterix to spin in the air and tumble straight into the pit! Thats one house robot down, but The Disc is now mainly concerned with his opponent now, who is released from Exa-Gore-Ic but rather slow and sad-looking. The Disc rams his weakened opponent and tears off more armour. At that Slammer stops completely. Exa-Gore-Ic starts to come out again but The Disc gets in his way. However, The Disc cant seem to hit Exa-Gore-Ic with his weapon. Likewise, Exa-Gore-Ic is not able to get the claws around The Discs width! Almost unnoticably, The Watcher comes in and doesnt even count Slammer out. In fact, he shoves Alexs oldest vapourbot right on top of Asterix! The Disc reverses and smashes The Watcher with the flywheel, earning a yellow card from the angered ref.

CEASE!

Slammer V has lost again to his adversary.

Coming up: Breed VS. Shovearound 2

The Crash & Burn Tournament

Sorry, Im away right now and I only have time to post this message.

I shall have some fights up by Wednesday or sooner. Same goes for my house robot tournament.

[kodster]

The Crash & Burn Tournament

Just kidding.

Breed is a clusterbot; the first weve had in this tournament. You Can Plant A House (YCPAH) is a wedge with rounded sides and rear and a small drum at the back. You Can Build A Tree (YCBAT) is almost exactly the same, but instead of a drum it has a front linear actuated lifting arm.

Shovearound 2 is rather famous...in the ARC. Its actually been 3rd ranked in the hypothetical PTT5. Its a box with side and rear skirts, and some lifting forks in the front. Its also invertible but it prefers to be right-side-up. Its made the third round of the house robot rebellion.

Roboteers, stand by...

Tira-san and Obelix Bulguous stare out omniously at the competitors.

The Breed partners split up and head towards Shovearound, who decides to take care of the twin with the drum. YCPAH shoves into the shover as his buddy hits the pit release button, opening the god-forbidden pit. Shovearound returns the question with an answer that smashes YCPAH to the wall, lifting the forks. As the wedge is tilted, the drum hits the ground. OUCH! YCPAH is flung across the arena almost at lightning speed, landing inverted but still maneouverable. YCBAT tries to get under the rear of Tonys terror but in vain; the skirt is very much resilient, and very much staying down, and now YCBAT is very much on top of the skirt, and is very much being back-slammed into the reverse wall. Ouch. YCPAH comes into Shovearound from behind and smashes the left skirt with the drum. SPARKS! The skirt comes up, and YCPAH tries to stay there, but Shovearound goes forward and YCPAH attempts to chase him down. YCBAT intercepts his buddy and both Breed partners are a little shaken after that collision. Shovearound wastes no time, shoving both of the clusters into the wall at the same time. YCBAT bounces off the wall; cant seem to get the lifting arm under the skirt as he tries to attack. YCPAHs drum hits the wall and he flies off the wall, landing on his snout and tilting back right side up, but Shovearound comes in and shoves him across the arena...into the pit! BOOM! One down, one to go. YCBAT finds himself alone and rather helpless now that his weapons done shat, and Shovearound is coming back for him with the forks in front! YCBAT runs away for the pit and almost falls in himself! Shovearound carefully avoids the danger zone and gets to the other side of the pit, intercepting YCBAT with the forks and flinging YCBAT past the pit and into the wall! YCBAT bounces into the wall and OH NO! One of YCBATs wheels is stuck inside the pit edge! Shovearound knows that he has now won this battle, and so moves around the edge of the pit and flicks YCBAT on top of his brother.

CEASE!

Breed expires and goes extinct. Wont be seeing a hybrid like this anymore.
