Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Certainly an interesting draw

1) Explosion vs Binky vs Push n Shove

It all depends how good Binky is really, and I don't think I'm going to find out any time soon I've got the impression that it is a vertical though for some reason. Good job I know Push n Shove pretty much inside out! I can see this going any way, Flipper vs Spinner vs Box, very hard to tell.

2) Explosion vs Push n Shove vs Beauty 7

Push n Shove again! I can imagine that this will be over pretty quickly. I'm assuming that Beauty's going to be a tough competitor judging on previous versions, it will all come down to who's driving it and who's closest to the floor.

3) Explosion vs Mini Mighty Mouse vs Carcinus

Probably the fight that I'm least worried about as I beat MMM last year, and there aren't any unknown quantities. That's not to say I'm relaxed though as it's still a very good robot! It's one of those robots that seems to sneak through the competition almost every time, not necessarily as spectacularly as others but constantly turning you over, and wasting your gas until you end up in the pit or throw yourself out. I can see this being the fight with the most tactics going on.

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Endeavor v 720 v Rabid

Not sure who the first one really is, but i know rabid is going to be quite strong, hopefully i wont snap my teeth of on it lol...

720 v Tormenta 2 v Robob

Dont know robob, but tormenta 2 is one i really wanted to fight, nice plastic bits - nom nom nom

Heatwave v 720 v 4 4 Toon

Heatwave will be interesting to fight, not sure what armour it has? 4 4 toon has vortex and predator before me so hopefully i wont have to worry about it lol

We don't know how good it is either I'm afraid. Hitting lumps of metal is one thing but moving opponents it totally different; as everyone knows.

The lump of metal in question was a 40mm x40mm piece of mild steel box section with a 5mm wall thickness. It only weighed about 2kg so I clamped two bench clamps to it to make it about 6kg total. At 1/2 throttle the disc consistently was able to slice clean through the walls and corners of the bar with almost no effort at all.

I don't know what that translates to in combat but if 1/2 throttle is not enough then perhaps full throttle will be.

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Looking good for Vortex which is having significant upgrades, moving to LiPo, higher voltage, heavier disk (Vortex only weighed 11.1Kg !!).... better speed controllers, thicker armour (up from the 10mm 2014T aluminium it has now

... could be an interesting three fights !

James, the £100 is in the post

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

You got off easy on the draw Ed, it's the next rounds that you'll need to look out for if you get though . If you don't get through though, theres always the 6 way annihilator to cause some carnage haha.

Ricochet v 4 4 Toon v Vortex > Vortex
Robob v Dizzy 101 v LF3 > LF3
Endeavor v 720 v Rabid > 720
Inertia XL v Boner v Tiny Toon > Close but... Boner
Kaizer v Heatwave v Predator > Predator
Tormenta 2 v Ripoff v Wedgie > Tormenta 2

FQ2

Beauty 2 v Endeavor v Tiny Toon > Beauty 2
Predator v 4 4 Toon v Rabid > Predator
Satanix 1.666 v Cyberon v Vortex > Vortex
NST v Tillys Revenge v Ripoff > NST
Dizzy 101 v Boner v Kaizer > Boner
720 v Tormenta 2 v Robob > 720

Robob v Endeavor v LF3 > LF3
Satanix 1.666 v Boner v Beauty 2 > Boner
Tiny Toon v Kaizer v Cyberon > Tiny Toon

Top 6 Machines would be... [I think thats the number that go through?]
NST, Vortex, Predator, 720, LF3, Boner


SQ1

Ironconkers v Massacre v Drumroll 2 > Drumroll 2
Night Fury v Scruffy v Cobalt > Cobalt
Push n Shove v Binky v Explosion
No Toy v Grabberer v Bitza Mk3 > Grabberer
Cicatrix v Bitzawood Revo v Turisas > Cicatrix
MMM v LH2 v Carcinus > LH2
Conker 2 v LS4 v Eric Jr
Beauty 7 v TS2 v Galactus > TS2

SQ2

Bitza MK3 v Galactus v Eric Jr > Galactus
Lh2 v Bitzawood Revo v Ironconkers > LH2
Ts2 v Cicatrix v Binky
Explosion v Push n Shove v Beauty 7 > Explosion
Conker 2 v MMM v Night Fury
Scruffy v Turisas v Massacre > Massacre
No Toy v Drumroll 2 v Cobalt > Cobalt
Carcinus v Grabberer v LS4 > LS4

SQ3

Cicatrix v Binky v Turisas
Beauty 7 v Ironconkers v Massacre > Beauty 7
Scruffy v Eric Jr v TS2 > TS2
Ls4 v Bitzawood Revo v No Toy > LS4
Explosion v MMM v Carcinus > Explosion
Cobalt v Grabberer v Push n Shove > Cobalt
Bitza Mk3 v Galactus v LH2 > Galactus
Conker 2 v Drumroll 2 v Night Fury

Top 6 Machines, excluding Binky & Conker 2...
Cobalt, Explosion, LS4, TS2, LH2, Galactus


Something else I have spotted...
Cicatrix and Turisas fight twice... Cicatrix and Binky fight twice... I don't know if that is good or bad for Cicatrix. You would know the machines strengths and weaknesses second time round but so would your opponent.

I'll just be pleased if a robot that is 10 years old this year manages to get through it's first fight !
