    Guess the code on the thread title and win some of the sweetest FA in the world

    Melee 1

    Bigger Brother were well on top for the entire fight. Collousus seemed to have flipper troubles and were KOd quickly, and URO was bullied into submission and immobolisation. This was good for Typhoon, as they didnt seem to be spinning for much of the fight and were thrown over against the arena wall. Then they STARTED spinning, looking like a rather vicious spinning top as they did. Still, with two out before them they were safely through.

    Melee 2

    Disconstructor and Xenomorph looked nasty. For those that didnt hear, Disconostructor apparently uses the same motors for its disc as Storm 2 uses for drive. All in all it was a damn shame it drove itself in the pit. Xenomorph on the other hand seemed to be plagued with controll issues and were shoved around easily by Iron Awe, who looked the most impressive in this fight, as theyd axed Xenomorph numerous times and flipped Hammerhead once or twice. Despite what Craig was saying about no highlights I enjoyed this fight.

    World champ qualifiers

    I think this was the best qualifier match so far, as ALL the robots could have won, instead of what were normally treated to which is One strong robot against one robot which isnt as strong. But Scraptosaur was immediately disposed of by Tough as Nails, who then went on to spend most of the fight chasing and generally out-driving Gravity before finally catching it, being flipped twice, out driving it a bit more and shoving it in the pit. Phew! Maybe NOW people will believe me when I say Gravity is beatable

    ...Fight of the night by the way.

    Bigger Brother vs Iron Awe

    A very quick fight, meaning about 6 minutes of dodging around had to be taken out in the editing room Anyway, Bigger Brother was on top for most of the fight , so I was thinking Yup... Looks like the Iron Awe curse strikes again. However, and Im not entirely sure how it happened, they managed to outmanouver Bigger Brother and get ONE flip in, sending the number four seed crashing out! Good fight

    Typhoon 2 vs Hammerhead 2

    Typhoon 2 spun up to speed, Hammerhead 2 didnt have an answer. It really was that simple. However, I think Mentorn wanted Typhoon 2 to continue attacking Hammerhead as we havent seen many robots taken to pieces this series, so when Typhoon did the honourable thing and stopped attacking the house robots moved in... Blurgh.

    Iron Awe vs Typhoon 2

    Hmm... Again, Iron Awe failed to stop Typhoon spinning up and paid the concequences. Well this fight at least tells us why they had to put it back together for the Axe Attack. Poor old Iron Awe:sad:
    ...Still, they stayed in the arena this time. If theyd been thrown out, Id have suggested renaming it OOTA-Awe

    I WOULD have enjoyed this heat a lot more if certain people in the habit of wearing grim reaper costumes hadnt spoiled it for me about a month before series 7 was actually shown

          I know Tough as Nails wheels are meant to be disposable, but one of them was in tatters at the end of the fight.

                TANs trie was in tatters at the beginning of the fight aswell That damage was done by can-opener at the Rijswijk event in april 2003.
                I thought typhoon could have held back after Hammerheads bosh went out and lost drive on one side. I can tell you Hammerhead 3 will be a great robot

                    ???? the wheels from Tough As Nails are ment to be disposable, but in tatters?
                    Not even close.
                    Its thesame wheel as been used in the Live Dutch event in Rijswijk. And there we got a little gentle nip from Kan Opener.Leaving the right wheel with a missing piece.
                    In the World championships qualifier(with me in the Scraptosaur team-for those who dont know me,Im the voluminous one-)
                    The wheels got some good shoves and hits, but not damaging them further than in the past.

                    And Yes, Scraptosaur III fits perfectly between the claws of TAN, as those 2 robots got about the most fights against each other in de Dutch demo events.

                    Good to hear the show was pretty good.
                    Pitty about Hammerhead. This loss is sorely felt on the Dutch live events.
                    But it demonstrates Typhoons power. As the front(not the flipper) is armoured with several layers polycarbonate.Up to 30mm.

                      It was a real shame for Iron Awe that they picked a puddle of kilalots oil to park in at the start. They were trying to hit Typhoon before it had spun up. But no traction at the start and one wheel skidding all the way through so they were dead in the water. Great win by Typhoon and TAN though.

                            Yes.

                            Brillant heat, shame Typhoon wasnt spinning in round 1, that would have been great

                              Im pretty sure Bigger Brothers OOTA from Iron-Awe is due to Shunt, Bigger Brother tried to move forward, found that big lump in the way and Iron-Awe got into position.

                              Im not taking away from Iron Awes driving, they saw a chance and took it, to get a robot OOTA takes good timing and awareness of what your flipper can do. I just dont think Bigger Brother would have been OOTA if not for Shunt who Joe was quite right in blaming.

                              Typhoon shocked me, they seem to be the new Hypnodisc, thing is Hypnodisc also dominated their first year but also had no SRIMECH, well have to see how that goes.
