Intensity vs. 4 Wheel Steer vs. Storm II vs. Denial
Intensity is a similar robot to Red Square. It’s shaped in a square fashion with wedges on all sides. On the top is a hugely powerful launch pad powered by two S28-150 MagMotors run at 36v, running a complex spring load mechanism. The Hardox armour will help its cause, however if pack and stacked, it could soon find itself jumping out of the arena.
4 Wheel Steer or 4WS was entered by Team Solarized. This robot is designed for Pinball using its unique drive system. It sports no real weapons, just an electric lifting arm for self-righting. The drive uses a special locking system, which locks the shafts giving 4WS a perfect turning circle. The drive also provides a good speed and with the 60v B42-500 Magmotor, around 32hp of push.
Storm II is the current Robot Wars runner up, losing to Typhoon 2 in the Series 7 Grand Final. This robot takes real robotics to new levels with its 18hp drive train. The robot is box wedged in shape and uses its six Vulkalon treaded wheels powered by LEM130 Lynch Motors to push robots around with ease. It also sports an S28-150 MagMotor powered lifting arm to turn other robots over. The titanium-covered body should also prove tough to get into. The only problem is, once flipped the wedge becomes inverted and it finds pushing difficult.
And the last of our robots is Team Gore’s Denial. It sports a drive train identical to ForcePower Turbo’s… The dual B42-500 MagMotors provide awesome pushing power and the titanium and Hardox armour should prove hard to get through. However, this rammer sports two tank tracks similar to those of El Diablo Grande, which can be snapped clean in two! The advantage of this robot is, once flipped the scoop runs both ways up.

3…2…1… ACTIVATE!
And so AJWars 2005 begins with the 12hp vs. 32hp vs. 18hp vs. 64hp rammer melee. 4WS zooms into the arena center looking for someone to attack, and is met with a cheeky ram from Storm II, who gets buffeted aside. Meanwhile, Aaron is having fun chasing Denial with Intensity. The Aussie robot quickly catches up with its massive speed advantage and slides under Kody’s bot and throws it up into the air! Denial comes crashing down onto its sides and bounces back right way up. 4WS flies into the action and gets the scoop under the side of Intensity and bashes it against the wall. Storm II comes in behind and hammers 4WS into Intensity once more!
4WS turns on the spot to face Storm II and starts to push it across the arena… Smash into the opposite wall! This gives Intensity time to re-gather its senses and go after the concussed Denial. The Canadian bot senses this and goes to find some breathing space. While this was going on, 4WS gave Storm II another smash into the wall, this time letting it go. Matty drives Storm II across the arena at 25mph top speed and slams into the pit release tyre. The infamous siren goes off and the large central pit sinks downwards.
Intensity turns its focus to Storm II and races right across the arena and over the descending pit of oblivion! The English robot gets a nasty surprise as Intensity flies under and fires its launch pad in perfect timing, sending Storm II into the air and down onto its back. As we have seen before, Storm II is now pretty useless and Denial thinks he can take advantage of it. The Canadian bot scoops Storm II up and belts it into the nearest wall almost immediately after the Intensity attack!
4WS crawls into the action and gives Denial a bit of a nudge before backing off. Intensity is bored of playing the spectator and goes after 4WS, and the race is on between two extremely fast robots. Emma pulls a nice turn and sends The Australian in the opposite direction! Intensity breaks, nearly colliding with the wall and turns, pursuing 4WS. 4WS quickly turns again, leaving Intensity eating dust, and then eating Storm II as it is rammed into by Denial!
Intensity fires its flipper in rage as 4WS comes in behind and gives it a ram into the nearest arena wall. Still inverted, Storm II gets out of the way while it can. Denial decides it wants to pick on 4WS now and gets under the side and heads for the top arena wall, the impact makes both robots spin away out of control!
Intensity recovers from another pile on and chases Storm II, quickly catching up and bumping into it. Storm II’s running away rhythm is slowed and Intensity easily gets under and fires the flipper! Storm II bumps down right way up, and now it is back in the fight! Matty speeds away as soon as it can and heads for the other two robots, having a chase.
Unimpressed with the kiss chase, Intensity thunders into the action taking out Denial and 4WS with its ram. As a result, Denial and 4WS sandwich Intensity together! Another angry fire of the flipper, and Intensity backs off, being followed by Storm II. Denial and 4WS follow not far behind. Intensity turns around and Storm II foolishly drives straight on top of the blue robot! Aaron takes no time in launching Storm II into the clouds, and Storm II lands upside down again for the second time in the fight! But to make things even worse, Storm II has been dumped into the path of the oncoming Denial! Kody continues pushing forwards with the scoop and the former Robot Wars runner up is surprisingly dumped into the pit!
One down, one to go and time is running out for the three remaining vapourbots. 4WS advances round to the side of Intensity and starts to push it, but the Aussie bot holds on and forces itself out of the way. Denial joins back into the action and pushes 4WS into the corner of the arena. The Land Rover grade aluminum stands up to the attack of the corner saw well. Intensity sees its chance to attack and slides under the back of Denial and with a quick flip the Canadian robot is launched into the air and back down the other side of the arena wall!
CEASE!
What a shock, the two powerful rammers are out! Intensity and 4 Wheel Steer go through to Round 2!
