FinalUnder Pressure vs. Monsoon SeasonAnd how they got here, we shall inform you, friends... Under Pressure- Defeated Symmetry by pitting - Defeated Apocalypse II by pitting - Defeated Envy by pitting Monsoon Season- Defeated Nitro-Gene 5.0 by pitting - Defeated Mornington Crescent by OOTA - Defeated Qwertyuiop by OOTA Roboteers, stand by...House robots: The lovely-yet-slightly-or-is-that-overwhelmingly-insane Hexadecimal and, Exa-Gore-Ic Evo, whose pincers haven't gotten enough play time yet. ;D 3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!!!For the last time this tournament, the robots leave their spots and the fight is on!!! Under Pressure comes out, ominous, the jaws gaping wide like a hungry crustacean! Monsoon Season however is fast enough to dodge those jaws, get clean under the side before Martijn can turn his crusher around, and toss Under Pressure into the air! Under Pressure lands upside-down and immediately the fight seems to be in Monsoon's favour! But don't count the Dutch robot out just yet! It's back to bearings now and is able to keep the jaws pointed at Monsoon Season! Daniel can't seem to get a purchase at Under Pressure's rear and attacks the side again, but ends up between the jaws! Under Pressure closes the jaws as quick as he can, but Monsoon Season backs away before any disadvantage comes of it! His carelessness exposed, Martijn backs Under Pressure up while trying to open the jaws in time, but again Monsoon Season is much too quick! The wedge finds its way underneath the lower claw! Approaching the arena wall, Monsoon gathers strength and let out an ungodly toss! Unfortunately, he caught too little of the claw and sent Under Pressure flying to the side! What's worse, Under Pressure is right-side-up again, and scoots to the side of Monsoon before Daniel can re-orient! Caught in the grasp of the jaws, Monsoon Season tries to fire the flipper but it doesn't do much other than pop Under Pressure a few inches into the air! Now the claws contract, and Monsoon looks to be in major peril! But what's this? The rear of Monsoon has definitely been gotten under...but not the front! The lower claw is scraping over the flipper! And in a position like that, there's no way Under Pressure can properly clamp Monsoon! And Monsoon's tracks are definitely still on the ground! What's more, Under Pressure's left-side wheel is stuck in the air because of this, so Martijn's going nowhere fast! Realizing his sudden gigantic advantage, Daniel drives towards Hexadecimal's CPZ as quick as Monsoon's tracks can take him. Under Pressure tries to fight it, trying to open his jaws in time and use his one grounded wheel, but Danny delivers the goods! Hex lifts her blades up under the crusher...or tries to, but having Monsoon Season stuck in there makes the combined weight too much for Hex to handle; she tips forwards!!! CRASH!!!Hexadecimal tears into the arena floor, completely carving a crevasse into it, but the damage done to Hex is far worse! As Hex flies backwards, the house robot's spinning blades have gone from three to two! The isolated fellow is laying several feet away, its joint buckled and torn, and tip bent beyond immediate repair! Hexadecimal can no longer spin her blades up without going completely off balance, so she desists, but Under Pressure has finally freed itself from Monsoon Season and backs into her! Now she lifts Under Pressure up, but Monsoon comes flying in, and sliding under one of the claws tosses it right over Hex and into the corner! Which can only mean trouble as Exa-Gore-Ic leaves his CPZ to join the party! And what a party it is! Hexadecimal has lifted Under Pressure up again, but Daniel being the cheeky sod that he is, gets under Hex herself, relieving Marti's pressure ;D and with one gargantuan toss, propels Hexadecimal over the walls, and out! That's made Exa-Gore-Ic a pretty cranky lad, and he enters the CPZ as Monsoon backs off, just escaping the grasp of Under Pressure, and starts chasing him around the arena! ;D Martijn is also on the attack now, but the 400kg house bot is getting quite a bit in his own way! And Monsoon seems to be outstripping them all like Michael Schumacher in an F1 circuit! ;D Exa-Gore-Ic finally stops the pursuit, allowing the true match to continue and Monsoon Season spons about to face the incoming Under Pressure! Both robots collide in epic fashion, with Under Pressure trying to close the jaws before Monsoon Season gets in! Sadly this doesn't work and Monsoon gets under the main body of Under Pressure first! With another toss, Under Pressure is sent flying across the arena, but not landing inverted! Unfortunately for Martijn his relief is short-lived when Monsoon Season gets under it again, avoiding a clamping again and taking it to the arena wall...Monsoon activates the flipper, and Under Pressure soars...! ...and that's the end!!! A valiant fight from Under Pressure, but in the end he finishes the match on the arena camera tracks! Monsoon Season: the well-deserved winner! ...or is it the end? No! Monsoon Season is not content with merely sending Under Pressure to its doom; he wants them all out! With a blast Monsoon rockets into Exa-Gore-Ic's CPZ and as the house robots tries to fend him off, one toss sends the almighty house robot onto its side, the 400kg of mean, unlean wrecking machine helpless! As The Watcher flies in to berate Monsoon for its reckless behavior, he gets a bit of a shock as Monsoon targets HIM next! Despite the ref's protests, Monsoon takes The Watcher to the wall and ejects it! He's beaten everyone! And, as though to prove it, Monsoon heads back to Exa-Gore-Ic Evo, gets back under the side, and lets loose another mighty flip! Now Exa-Gore-Ic's beached on the wall and almost out! And now he is, with another toss! There is only one champion, and indeed one robot left in the entire arena: MONSOON SEASON! CEASE!!!When the going gets rough, Under Pressure gets going...outta here, that is! ;D Monsoon Season wins The Crash & Burn Mini-Tournament Of Death 3!!!---- Standings: Qwertyuiop (Alex Howard) Under Pressure (Martijn Benschop) Monsoon Season (Daniel Stickler)
