Roboforge - We like the Big Jobs

n2:
The Doctor Goes to work
again.� Shop bot Ace
gets its arms taken
away.� Hopefully, it will
have them returned after
the tourney is over.� :)

[2]

n2:
gladiator9 went straight for CP's left elbow, taking it off.
He then went for the other one and got it too.� Christ, it
just sucks to be me.� It certainly reinforces why gladiator9
c4 is one of the top bots.� And why my stupid bot should be
tossed on the scrap heap.

[3]

n2:
All kidding aside, I really think
gladiator9 is about the smartest
fighter around.� Not one stacked
joint in the bot.� It's simply about
position and accuracy.� Some
newer people might consider this
a snooze-fight, but the oldsters
will really appreciate what's
going on here.� This was a stylie
fight all the way. ;)

[4]

n2:
Center Punch 6 comes
out, um, poking.� Seems
I still have some move
problems.� Oh well, while
he doesn't plow a Wing
Chun punch right into TK
Axeman, he does
manage to poke
axeman's unprotected
head.

[5]

n2:
I won't tell about this
one.� The suspense was
absolutely killing me when
watching it the first time.
Awesome!

[6]

n2:
Some new moves from
Trinny preserve it's energy.
Seems I could learn a lesson
from it.

[7]

n2:
Warder, always a cruel
bot, plays with Yes Man
for some time before
finally killing it outright.

[8]

n2:
Rock on, and good fight!

[9]

n2:
Well this was abrupt.� A
nine-second fight.
SharpEdge needs more
head armor.� Well, I sure
know how you feel this
time ROBO.�

[10]

n2:
This was quick and
violent.

[11]

n2:
The gorilla had the reach
advantage, but came in
too close.� Charger took
off the gorilla's arms.

[12]

n2:
This was brutal.� Charger
caught strongarm in the
chassis the same way its
brother got my Oscar�
A sword slipped inside
the shielding on
Strongarm, and both
arms came off.� It would
have been a good time
for Strongarm to run for
it, but it apparantly has
no self-preservation
code.� Without arms, it
was a sitting duck.

[13]

n2:
The gorilla comes out with ferocious
attack here, taking off the Russians
weapon in short order.� Guro's smart
AI saves it for another day.

[14]

n2:
A nice poke from bot 1468
disarmed Dark Knight.

[15]

n2:
Even the smallest piece
of armor on bot 1468's
head would have given it
the win.

[16]

n2:
This looked like it was going to be a come from behind
win for Mrs Luke, but it ran out of ENERGY!� It had
repeated opportunites on Microbellator's back, but just
didn't have the juice to do anything about it.

[17]

n2:
Holy Crap!� You HAVE to
see this!� Talk about a
lightning strike!� Charger
enacted a perfect
horizontal slice right
through Destroyers torso
joint!� Charger was flat-
footed, and Destroyer
was mid-stride.

[18]

n2:
Jeez!� This is a wallystomper of a fight!� Oscar didn't lose any
shields or weapons, but took horrible chassis hits.� Charger lost
both arms, it's sensor, and all but one energy.� Oscar just didn't
have the energy to finish the job!� Sheesh, I must be taking
lessons from Big Jobs in under-powered bot designs.� :(

[19]

n2:
I just realized that this is
the first time that these
two bots have fought, no?
Microbellator could
have one, but didn't have the
energy.� Seems to be the
theme for this tourney.

[20]

n2:
Jumpin Jehosephat!� This is a humanoid ATG for sure!� Shivan Swordsman was leading the match almost the whole way.� It only got in
trouble when it lifted both swords and pressed in.� Keeping at least one
down at all times would have cinched it!� Anyway, the Swordsman was
nullifying Destroyer's attack most of the time.� After getting through
Destroyers chest shield, there just wasn't enough time left to catch up.
Destroyer got a last minute deadlock that helped it get away.� Bravo!

[21]

n2:
It's weird really�� Destroyer
tries so hard for the elusive
chassis kill, but it's just too
deadly sometimes.�

[22]

n2:
Hard match to call.
Scissors put up a good
fight, but SharpEdge
kept getting shielding hits
on Scissors.

[23]

n2:
Ned was leading at the
beginning, but took some
damage from backing into
the arena wall.

[24]

n2:
Believe it!� I had to check
the debugger on this one
to figure out what the
hell was happening.� It's
funny, and all good.
Sharpedge just beat the
crap out of Charger.
Hows it feel, ROBO-
Comm.?

[25]

n2:
Looks like the new Running
Withscissors can move!� It
loses energy quickly though.

[26]

n2:
Chassis kill?� Rock on
Oscar!

[27]

n2:
Well, that was quick.� I
started the fight, and
then switched to excel to
work on rollover points.
After only about a minute,
the replay started.� Well,
that was it.� I KNEW that
Oscar got trounced, because
there was no way Oscar
could have beaten gladiator9
that fast.� But watching the
replay still shocked me.� There is simply no other bot
yet as accurate as gladiator9.� Good kill, Kent!

[28]

n2:
I wanted to make a tougher monster bot.� BSFT it tough, but has a weak attack.� It's goal is
to wear down the opponent's weapons.� Do dice here.� Gladiator9 showed that it had no fear.
