User:CrashBash/Audited Championships

After seeing Jimlaad43's "Audited UK Championships" (seriously, check it out), I thought I'd try out my own version of it. Basically, Series 1 is redone randomly, and then the whole championship is based around the results of it. Seeds from Series 1 will occur for an audited Series 2, and so on. All robots that were chosen to appear on the show will appear, including replacement robots, with a few exceptions which will be explained on the way. Instead of just doing the UK version, the US, Dutch, German and World Championships will also be covered.

Series 1
All robots were drawn at random, so all weight classes are split up in the heats. The gauntlet results are based on the distance each robot covered in the actual gauntlet, whilst the trial results are based on how well I personally think the robots will perform. The stock robots act as normal robots and will not throw the gauntlet or trial. The line-up for the Arena is not based on the trials, and will be at random. The Grand Final is treated as a separate episode, but will be battle-only.

Heat A

Gauntlet & Trial (Sumo)
 * Gauntlet: Wharthog eliminated
 * Trial: Torque of the Devil eliminated - Out of the remaining five robots, Torque of the Devil looked to have the most suspect ground clearance of the lot. None looked ideal for getting under Shunt, but Torque looked the least likely to be able to push'

Arena
 * Skarab vs Robot the Bruce - I think it goes without saying that Robot the Bruce is the better pusher, and Skarab's hammer is mostly useless. Grilled...so to speak.
 * Mortis vs Dreadnaut - Don't exactly have to explain my reasonings here

Heat Final
 * Robot the Bruce vs Mortis - Doesn't feel quite right eliminating Team Chaos at this stage, but its high ground clearance will likely let it down, considering Mortis was able to get under both Leighbot and Recyclopse, both looking lower than Robot the Bruce. Tip over or axe.

Heat B

Gauntlet & Trial (British Bulldog)
 * Gauntlet: Elvis eliminated
 * Trial: Grunt eliminated - It is possible that, being as small as it is, it can evade all attention whilst the House Robots turn their attention to its bulkier opponents, but likewise, its light weight probably runs it at the risk of being sidestranded easily, or possibly getting beached under a House Robot

Arena
 * Nemesis vs Cruella - Cruella will put up a good fight, getting under Nemesis and pushing it around, but I fear it doesn't have the control to get it to the right hazards without driving over itself. Plus, Nemesis has the spikes to do some minimal but important damage
 * Killertron vs Leighbot - A slightly less brutal version of Leighbot's fight against Mortis

Heat Final
 * Nemesis vs Killertron - Axe vs Spike. Ask yourself, which shows more aggression?

Heat C

Gauntlet and Trial (Soccer)
 * Gauntlet: Barry eliminated
 * Trial: Psychosprout eliminated - I think this pretty much speaks for itself

Arena
 * REALI-T vs Full Metal Anorak - Basically a repeat of their actual battle
 * T.R.A.C.I.E. vs The Blob - Basically a repeat of T.R.A.C.I.E.'s battle against Skarab, without the cheese and conker jokes

Heat Final
 * REALI-T vs T.R.A.C.I.E. - The bigger, heavier T.R.A.C.I.E. pushes REALI-T onto the grill, no problem

Heat D

Gauntlet & Trial (Stock Car)
 * Gauntlet: Scrapper eliminated
 * Trial: Bugs eliminated - Although both Bugs and Wedgehog were the slowest robots in this heat, Bugs just didn't look like it was as well controlled as Wedgehog, plus it seemingly died under no pressure during the trial, only crossing the line after being pushed over

Arena
 * Wedgehog vs Prince of Darkness - Prince of Darkness was well controlled ad has a slight speed advantage, so it will probably be able to evade Wedgehog's toothpick
 * Shogun vs Eubank the Mouse - It's a forklift against two boxing gloves. The forklift could probably at least scratch

Heat Final
 * Prince of Darkness vs Shogun - Wow, this is a dull heat. And this will be more or less a complete stalemate. I'm voting Prince of Darkness since it'll be able to at least wedge under Shogun and show better aggression.

Heat E

Gauntlet & Trial (Labyrinth)
 * Gauntlet: Uglybot eliminated
 * Trial: Detonator eliminated - So slow, so unreliable...

Arena
 * Roadblock vs The Demolisher - ......
 * Plunderbird 1 vs Bodyhammer - Bodyhammer did not like wedges, and Plunderbird always had a pretty good wedge back in its day. Hazard immobilization if not a judges decision

Heat Final
 * Roadblock vs Plunderbird 1 - Frankly, when it doubt, go with the larger wedge. Roadblock was practically untouchable in Series 1

Heat F

Gauntlet & Trial (Snooker)
 * Gauntlet: WYSIWYG eliminated
 * Trial: Krayzee Tokyo eliminated - It has no real way of controlling the balls, so....yeah

Arena
 * Recyclopse vs SAT'arn - Wow, this heat almost doesn't feel fair
 * Cunning Plan vs Vector of Armageddon - Now this was a tough one. The only thing that made me lean towards VoA was because it looked like it had the lower ground clearance all around, and it had a slight speed advantage over Cunning Plan

Heat Final
 * Recyclopse vs Vector of Armageddon - Another stalemate...I could see VoA possibly ramming Recyclopse hard enough to dislodge a chain drive, but otherwise it's not gonna push and Recyclopse ain't gonna flip it. But, if watching some of the mismatched weight stalemates during Series 1 taught me anything, it's that, usually, lighter robot makes the first mistake. I know it's not much, but still, I gotta put one through

Final

Round 1
 * Recyclopse vs Prince of Darkness vs Mortis - Sorry, Prince of Darkness, but your luck just ran out big time
 * Roadblock vs Killertron vs T.R.A.C.I.E. - I can see arguments for both Killertron and T.R.A.C.I.E. losing, but the likeliest to go out is T.R.A.C.I.E. because it just seemed so much more cumbersome than the other two, allowing the others, Roadblock especially, to get those side attacks in.

Round 2
 * Roadblock vs Recyclopse - The actual Grand Final gave you an idea of what will happen here
 * Mortis vs Killertron - Killertron is armoured in plastic. Enough said

Playoff
 * Recyclopse vs Killertron - Frankly, I think Recyclopse would be very lucky to flip Killertron, even given the ground clearance. Its armour will likely be punctured

Grand Final
 * Roadblock vs Mortis - Mortis is probably the biggest threat Roadblock had in the whole of Series 1, and even then that's not gonna be enough. Sure, I can see some tasty axe-wounds, but not enough to prevent Roadblock from doing the big tip-over eventually
