Sewer Snake is out then?

[RogueTwoRobots]

>>> 23rd-27th August / The RR UK Championships 2

Seems like it - bit of a shame considering how far theyve travelled but then again, thats robot combat

Predictions:

Pod I - Being from Scotland, my insticnt would be to say Swarm to go through but I reckon Behemoths reliability and experience will stand them in good stead and that swings my prediction towards them.
Pod J - Close one I reckon between Ripper and Dantomkia although I dont know much about Tilly or CCW02, but Id have to say......Ripper.
Pod K - Big Nipper Id have to go for due to its versatility, engineering and experience.
Pod L - I love how Ewe2 looks (nothing elaborate, just looks cool) and the Scorpion team seem to be the kings of spin, so I reckon theyll be tough opposition but personally I think Ewe2 can see it through.

Feathers:

Heat 5 - Hornet and Byte again for the Scotland thing (god, what are we like ), Vertigo and Dragon Strike to progress.

Heat 6 - Scorpion Evil, KR3, Dizzy Tilly and Little Spinner to get through this one.

Judging by my last predictions I was quite a bit off, wonder if Ill be any closer today

Just had an update, yes Sewer Snake is out - something to do with their wheels jamming up.

Kan Opener out, Beast stacked them up against the side wall apparently.

Tilly has beaten CCW02

and Scorpion took out Ewe2 in one hit

the reserve price may be lower now
seriously though, hope its ok as it would be a shame to see Ewe2 disappear.

Any news on todays Heats?

[woody]

>>> 23rd-27th August / The RR UK Championships 2

Update ......Beast thru ......Ka-pow! out.

[ewe2]

>>> 23rd-27th August / The RR UK Championships 2

Yep, a few hits from Scorpion and we were out :sad: Not sure what happened, everything just died. I took it back to the pits, powered it up and everything was fine (except for the big holes through our steel armour and a gas bottle with a chunk out of it that was pretty unbelievable considering the disk had to go through 3mm steel first!).

But all is well as EWE2 went on to win its next friendly fight.

But watch out for Scorpions disc .. it packs a bit of a punch!!

Shame Ka-pow! is out, had a nice chat with John, and marvelled at your arcane pneumatics Woody.. it was pretty evenly matched against Beast.
Carrot was useless, duff battery, and my foolishly forgetting to wind in the reg meant our first fight with Alien destructor II was more of a tickle match.. sorted out the battery and reg, but didnt get to stay in the arena long enough with behemoth to play (very good driving chaps).
At home now drinking tea and remembering why I started playing with featherweights (no back ache, scarred hands, torn trousers etc...)

Behemoth beat Swarm, then? Or is it some kind of double elimination system?
