Forum:Welterweight Tournament Losers Rumble

The time for talking is over. The Welterweights have all had ample chance to make it towards the Series Semi-Finals, and this is last chance saloon for some. 4-way melees for every robot that lost in Round 1 of each heat has determined 11 robots worthy of entering this, the losers rumble. 11 Robots enter the arena, and fight until there is one left. The prize? A Place in the 12 Robot Rumble for the losing Heat Finalists, where the winner takes the 12th Wildcard slot in the Semi-Finals. This is going to be fun. LET THE WELTERWEIGHTS BEGIN!

Demolition Demon vs Leighbot vs Spin Doctor vs Darke Destroyer vs S.O.Xbot vs Grunt vs Crusher vs Rubber Duck & Pinza vs REALI-T vs Alien vs Black
When you write your vote, please give a full description of how you think the battle will go down. Give reasons as to why you think every robot you are eliminating is getting eliminated. The more you write, the better your vote will be in most cases. Please remember to finish your vote off with the robot you think will win. Write anything you like to finish, but before your signature, please write your battle winner in bold. In the event of a tie at the end, I will let everyone who didn't vote for the tied robots enter a second voting round with only those as winners. Like the rumble, this won't go to the judges, I will keep it open until we have a majority. Only vote again if/when I say to.

Which robots will go first is not too hard. Crusher's tracks are too vulnerable to other robots, Alien will be tipped over by Rubber Duck, while REALI-T, Leighbot and Grunt are not strong enough to survive long. Demolition Demon and Spin Doctor are nice and big, which will help them survive against the flipper on Rubber Duck, but they will show up lots of damage from Black. Darke Destroyer will go next, the wheels are just a bit vulnerable to Black's spinner.

So at this point, we have Black, Rubber Duck & Pinza, S.O.XBot and some shredded Demolition Demon and Spin Doctor. S.O.XBot has exposed wheels which Black can exploit very well. Black could also damage both parts of the Swarm, putting them out of action. As Black's spinner starts to wear out as the battle wears on, the damaged big Series 2 robots will start to put in a better show. Spin Doctor can probably keep spinning and holding the others at bay. But for me, Black's low shape will help it get under the other two, potentially shoving one or two in the pit. In reality, Black is going to do the most damage and is most likely to kill every other robot, or just out-survive them with Series 7 advantages. J im laa  d4   3 (talk) 13:50, December 9, 2018 (UTC)
