PANTS
Tyrant
Clockwise: TYPE 0, Odyssey and Dozer
Cannon Fodder
Today (26th September 1999) the 'official' antweight world series took place consisting of 6 bots:
| Pete Collier | PANTS Cannon Fodder |
140g 140g |
axe/anti-flip device flail on a chain |
| Jools | Tyrant | 142g | big metal shovel on front+nails |
| Me | Odyssey TYPE 0 |
142g 176g (allowed as 225g for a walker) |
lifting arm none |
| Brother | Dozer | 138g | slopey front and spikes on back |
|
Tyrant |
Clockwise: TYPE 0, Odyssey and Dozer |
Cannon Fodder |
The rules were slightly modified to protect the innocent, first of all the bots were weighed to make sure they were all within 150g and then put in a box to see if they were 4" big. Basically everyone was apart from Pants which had a rather long lifting arm.
We were unsure how to start the matches so we just got stuck in and realised that the 3 minute limit is far too much, as we took about 1 hour to get all the matches over with as each round lasted about 20 seconds!!! A win is basically a push off the table or a submission. Lethal embraces probbly did occur but we ignored them.
MATCHES
The winners are in bold
| TYPE 0 Vs Cannon Fodder | Dozer Vs Pants | Odyssey Vs Tyrant |
| TYPE 0 Vs Dozer | Pants Vs Odyssey | Cannon Fodder Vs Tyrant |
| Dozer Vs Tyrant | TYPE 0 Vs Pants | Cannon Fodder Vs Odyssey |
You can see that TYPE 0 never won a match which is a bit of a shame but it broke down quite a lot and was never entirely working properly. You may also see that Odyssey never lost a match, yipee. A league table follows:
| Odyssey | 3 |
| Dozer | 2 |
| Tyrant | 2 |
| Cannon Fodder | 1 |
| Pants | 1 |
| Type 0 | 0 |
We then got bored and had a few more matches:
| Dozer Vs Odyssey | Tyrant Vs Pants | TYPE 0 Vs Tyrant | Odyssey Vs TYPE 0 |
A mass fight then took place with Pants, Odyssey, Cannon Fodder, Dozer and Tyrant. As for the result don't ask as it just turned into one massive lethal embrace.
Cannon Fodder, Pants and Tyrant then challenged the undefeated Odyssey to a 3 on 1 fight. It started very well until Pants hit the tracks with the axe, no more tracks, no more traction, 3 seconds after the match started. Odyssey was at last defeated by a sneaky axe attack <g>.
A few more mellees then took place and finished with a game of football between Odyssey + Cannon Fodder against Tyrant + Pants, another disaster which turned into a mellee on a football pitch. Another massive mellee.
Thanks to everyone that attended, I hope there will be more people for the next world series and hopefully we will be able to have an antweight fight at RW.
