Yeah... Never said I managed to get it out again though, did I?
Yes, yes you did.

It€™s time for the final of heat L, and despite none of Mr. Weston€™s entries being in it, it€™s certainly been L for two of our contestants. Drilla Killa was the first to go when Tiger Shark stacked it in the Last€™Bot Standing arena, and Push-ish quickly managed to tip over Squish who was unable to self right. Now we move to the Classic arena to see which of our heat finalists goes that one step further.

ACTIVATE!!
Push-Ish is onto Tiger Shark before the echoes of the word €œactivate€ have even died down, and starts pushing from the side! Before the wedge can get under fully, however, Tiger Shark spins away, and Push-Ish zips away to get away from the flipper, before quickly turning and going at Tiger Shark again! Tiger Shark turns a little and moves away from the charge, trying to get under the side but not being fast enough.
Both machines spin to face each other, and it€™s Push-Ish who comes up the better, slipping under Tiger Shark€™s front and starting to take the flipper towards the house robots, but Tiger Shark again slips off the wedge and tries to use the manoeuvre as an attack on Push-Ish€™s side, but again Push-Ish keeps going forwards and out of danger! Tiger Shark spins around and goes after Push-Ish€™s rear end, and succeeds in getting under, but not fully as Push-Ish gets away in time, and the resulting flip only bounces Push-Ish up a bit!
Still, Push-Ish momentarily has its wheels off the ground, and Tiger Shark uses the split second to move forward and push, then flip Push-Ish into Flipup€™s CPZ! Push-Ish lands right on the flipper plate and is launched back into the fight, ironically landing behind Tiger Shark, which soon finds itself in the same CPZ. Again Flipup shows what a flipper can do when there€™s no pesky weight limit involved, and Tiger Shark has to self right in the middle of the arena, provided of course that the flipper hasn€™t been broken from the impact€¦
Yes, Tiger Shark leaps up safely, and the two machines both resume prowling around each other. Push-Ish strikes first, ramming under Tiger Shark€™s side and slamming it into an arena wall, bouncing Tiger Shark away from the wall with a loud crash! Straight away Push-Ish is on the attack again, but Tiger Shark gets out of the way and flips Push-Ish into The Militant€™s CPZ! A blow from The Militant sends Push-Ish spinning out of the CPZ, where Tiger Shark gets under it and shoves it back in again!
This time the front wedge is struck, and one of the Militant€™s teeth flies off! The uneven balance of the weapon makes the machine start wobbling, and so the driver turns it off and settles for firing the twin flame throwers at the two combatants. Meanwhile, Push-Ish takes Tiger Shark along for a ride and slams it into another wall, before popping it into Flipup€™s CPZ again. However, Tiger Shark is able to get away without being flipped, only to be caught by Push-Ish and slammed into another wall near the CPZ!
Tiger Shark reverses a little, turns and slams forward again to get under Push-Ish, flipping it along the wall! Tiger Shark follows Push-Ish as it bounces along and flips it again into Uncle Tomahawk€™s CPZ! Immediately the axe starts smashing down, missing at first, but soon crashing into the top armour of Push-Ish! Push-Ish starts to reverse out of there, but Tiger Shark gets under Push-Ish€™s rear and shoves it back in there!
As a siren wails and the pit descends, Push-Ish is caught between a Shark and a hard case, and drives forwards off of Tiger Shark€™s flipper to remedy the situation. Uncle tomahawk is still flailing at Push-Ish when Push-Ish gets under the house robot and shoves it into the wall to get some space to get out of the CPZ, but Tiger Shark moves forward with it, and so there€™s a four way sandwich going on with the wall and Tiger Shark, and Push-Ish and Uncle Tomahawk as the meat in the middle! The axe is still flailing around, but not hitting anything.
Tiger Shark tries to flip Push-Ish, but with the combined weight of Uncle Tomahawk as well, can€™t manage it. Realising it€™s the only thing that can give, Tiger Shark reverses. Push-Ish immediately turns and reverses out of the CPZ, but Tiger Shark is still on the attack and flips Push-Ish against the wall! Uncle Tomahawk immediately comes out of the CPZ and knocks Push-Ish down. Tiger Shark goes in for the kill, but Push-Ish gets away and Tiger Shark slams into the wall! Push-Ish reverses into Tiger Shakr before it can get away again, and pops it into Uncle Tomahawk€™s CPZ!
Tiger Shark gets axed twice before reversing out of the CPZ and charges into Push-Ish€™s side, but can€™t get under! The flipping plate on Tiger Shark has been bent upwards a bit making it useless against skirts. Push-Ish slams Tiger Shark into a wall hard, and rams in a few more times before Tiger Shark is able to get away, causing Push-Ish to slam into the wall. Push-Ish quickly responds though, and dunks Tiger Shark into Flipup€™s CPZ! Tiger Shark is lucky, and gets turned over by the rear bulldozer this time, and quickly self rights, or rather tries to but falls back down again as Push-Ish slams it into a wall while upside down!
Tiger Shark is able to self right this time, only get to slammed a couple more times by Push-Ish and gets taken along the wall and into the Militant€™s CPZ. The flywheel is off, so all The Militant can do is give the two machines a flame bath. Tiger Shark reverses past Push-Ish, who keeps going after Tiger Shark, but misses and slams into The Militant, before reversing after Tiger Shark. However, Tiger Shark is able to get under the rear and shunts Push-Ish along the arena and into Bane€™s CPZ!
The horrible hand grips onto Push-Ish, but can€™t seem to do more than bend the armour in a bit. Push-Ish tries to reverse away, but Bane€™s grip is strong and we€™re down to the last thirty seconds of the fight! Finally Bane releases its grip, and Push-Ish shoots out of the CPZ. Tiger Shark is waiting though, and gets under Push-Ish€™s rear again, flipping it over just as Cease is called! We€™re in for a judge€™s folks.
Control: A very hard one to call. Both machines spent a lot of time being pushed and flipped around, and both spent a fair time in CPZs and being attacked by house robots. Tiger Shark just about spent more time on top. Push-Ish really pulled some points back towards the end, but couldn€™t get away from Bane. Tiger Shark: 3. Push-Ish: 2.
Damage: Tiger Shark looks very beaten up, but a lot of the damage is from the drum to the paint work and can be discounted. On further inspection, not only is the flipper plate bent but it has some noticeable dents in the sides from being slammed around, and has a couple more big dents from where Uncle Tomahawk bashed it. Push-Ish on the other hand has a few dents from Uncle Tomahawk, and two somewhat larger dents from Bane. Marks from the blows from The Militant couldn€™t be found. Tiger Shark: 2. Push-Ish: 3.
Aggression: At times, both machines were all over each other. Tiger Shark kept sending Push-Ish into CPZs, and pinned Push-Ish on two occasions. Push-Ish also sent Tiger Shark to meet the house robots though, and got it flipped a couple of times, also doing more direct attacking rather than getting the house robots to do the work. Again, points were really gained at the end before meeting Bane. However Tiger Shark spent longer on top, especially with the pinning times taken into consideration. Tiger Shark: 3. Push-Ish: 2.
Total: Tiger Shark: 8. Push-Ish: 7.
Well, it was a bugger to decide, but Push-Ish is out pushed. Tiger Shark goe through to the last 16!
