Avalanche vs. Clawdius Decimus Murderous
ROBOTEERS STAND BY…
3…2…1…ACTIVATE!
Both robots head towards each other straight away, Clawdius Decimus Murderous first with the better acceleration but Avalanche gets there first with its 5mph speed advantage. Avalanche takes a shot at the side but the low BioHazard style skirting on Clawdius Decimus Murderous keeps him from getting under. Steve turns the Clawed Murderer around and gets the low blade under the side of Avalanche and ploughs forwards slipping the whole wedge under ready to attack. The claw slowly goes down and taps the top of Avalanche putting a dent in the 5mm thick Titanium armour. The claws raises and goes in for another go, this time puncturing the armour with the diamond tip. Clawdius Decimus Murderous backs up and heads across the arena stopping just before the red area in the floor, and the beak starts to rise once more, releasing Avalanche.
Clawdius Decimus Murderous quickly jolts forwards and then reverses, shaking Avalanche off the wedge and onto the red area. In a flash the kill saws pop out of the floor and slash the bottom of Avalanche, causing it to jolt into the air in a shower of white sparks. Clawdius Decimus Murderous zooms back into the action and bumps into Avalanche with its two front spears. Avalanche quickly gets away, and turns around heading for a charge at CDM. This time the wedge robot does get under and the drum starts grinding away at the bottom of The Murderer. Avalanche starts pushing Clawdius Decimus Murderous across the arena and then slams it against the arena wall!
The impact sends Clawdy onto his back, and Avalanche reverses, and then charges into it again. Avalanche keeps ramming into Clawdius Decimus Murderous and will not let it self-right! This is almost a repeat of the Robot Wars Series 6 Final between Razer and Tornado. Avalanche keeps driving in continuously and it looks like Steve has given up hope; he has put his transmitter down and looks at the Avalanche repeatedly smashing into the base plate. Oh! But suddenly, Avalanche has started spinning on the spot, forwards and backwards in an arc. It looks like half of the drive has failed and Steve quickly picks up his TX and operates the side flaps, rolling Clawdius Decimus Murderous onto its wheel again ready for attack. The claw-clad machine approaches the spinning metal maniac with caution and dives in, successfully sliding the wedge under Avalanche, ready for another pecking with the beak.
This time Clawdius decides to head North towards the pit release tyre, and nudges Avalanche into it. The siren goes off, as the pit of oblivion gets deeper and deeper…
It must be simple from now on, as Clawdius turns around and heads for the pit and 30 seconds remain on the clock. Clawdius Decimus Murderous starts moving very slowly towards the wide-open pit. 15 seconds left.
Clawdius gets to the edge of the pit and starts lifting the beak.
10…9…8…
Avalanche won’t come off so the beak falls and rises again.
7…6…5…
Avalanche slides off the claw and falls onto the front wedge.
4…3…2…
Avalanche just turns onto the edge of the pit.
CEASE!
And right when cease is called Clawdius Decimus Murderous dumps Avalanche into the pit, but unfortunately the judges will have to decide…
(Cheers to Mr. McG for letting me use his Judging Method!)

Avalanche
Damage: 3/5 x 3 = 9
Aggression: 5/5 x 2.5 = 12.5
Strategy: 4/5 x 2 = 8
Control: 3/5 x 1.5 = 4.5
Style: 3/5 x 1 = 3
9 + 12.5 + 8 + 4.5 + 3 = 37/50
Clawdius Decimus Murderous
Damage: 4/5 x 3 = 12
Aggression: 3/5 x 2.5 = 7.5
Strategy: 4/5 x 2 = 8
Control: 4/5 x 1.5 = 6
Style: 4/5 x 1 = 4
12 + 7.5 + 8 + 6 + 4 = 37.5/50
