damn today was a ripper.
robort, tse, and singularity along with cobra copping a hell of alot of punishment from plan b and basilisk,
but here are the highlights (ill do a report later, im knackered lol)
* i won today beating sorry, el bravo and basilisk (last one was a bit questionable), also got the rumble because everyone broke down hehe.
* TSE getting taken apart by plan b then basilisk
* singularity ramming plan b so hard into the wall it split it.
* ROBOT SOCCER!! some of the mods to the robots where hillarious, i hope someone got pics of them
cobra only barely got through this event tho, in the end the 10mm lid cracked across the wheel slot so thatll have to be replaced with some lexan donated by jeff (thanks tons!), the wheels are so worn there almost running on their rims and the frame is a little more buckled along with the hammer arm.
also got to congratulate everyone for being so reliable all day, and giving/recieving the most damage ive ever seen! specifically basilisk for giving and being 100% reliable through the competition (only smoked the motors in the soccer) and tse/roadkill for having the panels ripped off and coming back for more!?
also thanks to jeff for holding the day, and everyone else for the great competition, the standard of combat has once more gone up in australia im sure _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts

well heres the draw
- sorry vs cobra
lots of pushing and spinning on my behalf and lots of wedging on chris behalf. one of the more even matches of the day. i won it but the result should have been closer. i think it was 4-1 or something like that.
- tse vs plan b
wayde already gave a pretty mad report on this but basically involved the el bravo visor and side being busted by plan b and then plan b taking a leap over tse and sending the rx batteries into the disc.. ouch, tse won (?!)
- singularity vs basilisk
mad match, singularity just kept charging basilisk and getting a little damage and backed up and did it again and kept doing that for 3 minutes. pretty good match, given they went the full 3 minutes (which was a surprise for all i think). basilisk won, mind you it was very close.
- el bravo vs robort
pretty short. basically el bravo flipped robot over and when he tried to flip him back over he flipped the switch off hehe. el bravo won.
LOOSERS ROUNDS
- sorry vs robort
drawn out pushy match with sorry trying to wedge robort around and robort trying to drill sorry. got one mad opportunity at the end but it was only a few seconds before the buzzer, DAMN! sorry won i think.
- plan b vs singularity
this was a super mega awesome match. plan b kept hitting singularity hard and singularity kept repaying the favour, eventually getting in the biggest single hit ive ever seen PERIOD. basically took plan b from one side of the arena to the other at basically full speed (>15mph) and slammed it into the wall. i was sitting in front of the wall and you could feel it shake the ground!? and it split the 18mm mdf wall to boot lol. plan bs belt snapped if my memory serves me correctly as well. singularity won i think.
fight for 3rd ?? - sorry vs singularity
basically a pushy fight, with not a lot happening. both robots had rf problems big time. singularity dived over sorrys wedge once i think. that was about all. not sure who won but i think it was sorry.
fight for 2nd last - plan b vs robort
awesome awesome fight. plan b just ripped robort up all the way into the match until plan b ran up roborts wedge where he began to lower the drill straight onto one of the gaps in plan bs disc! to the amazement of all it didnt break the drill bit, but otherwise slowed the disc down to a stop! but it was short lived as the drill fell out heh. so the same thing happened but the chuck was promptly torn off and the red wheel also had the tread taken off. then plan b did in another weapon belt.. i think plan b won that.
WINNERS ROUNDS
- cobra vs el bravo
been waiting for this one! unfortunately for some ( ) el bravo lost a pipe out of the ram so when he went to flip the gas just went out the open tube, so i just pushed him around and hit him when he got jammed in the wall, and to top it off i didnt get flipped w00t!
as i said to jeff before we need to have a match where we are actually fully working one day woohoo i won!
- basilisk vs tse
basilisk utterly utterly annihilated tse. first tse looked to be going well slowing basilisk bar down twice i think. short lived however as basilisk ripped off the back of tse and soon after that the lid and front. the frame was so mangled as well but wayde kept trying to back into basilisk even with no panels on (LOL) and then was finally KOd by basilisk. well done i say guess who won.
FINAL
- cobra vs basilisk
very very close. i kept trying to get basilisk on his side and push him into the wall but this proved damn hard as he wouldnt hit the wall with his blade when he was facing foward or back and pushing him sideways was so hard. i kept ramming and nick kept damaging the hammer arm little by little and it just went on like that for 3 minutes.
too close for me to judge. i had a broken lid some smeared ali on the sides and the hammer was a little uglier but still nothing crippling. cobra won but i think it was verging on a draw it was that close.
fight for 4th i think (it was a weird system...)
- tse vs el bravo
well birdman to be exact wayde strapped the side and rear panels of tse onto the lid to create massive wings which basically stopped el bravo flipping it KEWL! but in the end tse did get flipped in the wall but the fact that it was still moving was moral victory enough el bravo won that im pretty sure.
RUMBLE!!
well there was 7 in this fight i think, cobra, sorry, robort, plan b , el bravo, singularity and basilisk.
started off with el bravo trying to flip basilisk but got ripped up pretty good so off he went, so capatilising on basilisk being near the wall i got a quick sucker punch on him and he jammed his blade into the wall (or i think his powepole came off, something like that). so we where all mildy safe.
then a huge pile up started in the other corner with el bravo flipping robort and sorry and getting itself stuck in the process. something happened with singularity as well and it wasnt moving.
so it went to plan b vs cobra and plan b chewed another belt so it was a pushy match, albeit a connector popped off one of the batteries so only one was powering it, and with power running low i couldnt get plan b off of basilisk when he got stuck, sorry!
so cobra was the last moving by complete default
SOCCER!!
sorry + plan b vs basilisk + robort (is that the right team?)
missed this one but i think it involved roborts soccer scoop getting wasted lol and i think basilisk + robort got 2 goals, w00t
El bravo + TSE vs cobra + singularity
andrew was driving cobra for this one, and with some thwacking of the ball and what not, el bravo got a flip in on cobra, no weapons hey . halfway through we had to stop as tse started to smoke up big time. singularity got 2 goals in succession (i think we cheated hehehe) so sweet!
SOCCER FINAL - cobra + singularity vs basilisk + robort
pretty fun, ball kept going in the corner and robort, cobra going for it. singularity gave the ball a good hit and robort moved in for the block!
soon basilisk did a bit of a smoke job so me and singularity assed around, with cobra leaving his signature on one of those goals
awesome event, with the soccer being particularly fun!
btw some photos of the pre battle robots are up in the album.
