THE REAL ROBOT RUMBLE
ELIMINATOR 2
BREAKER BOX Vs GRANNY'S REVENGE 2 Vs THE MOUSETRAP Vs PUSSYCAT Vs REDRUM Vs SUMP THING

FROM BRADENTON, IN FLORIDA, BREAKER BOX!
GUEST DRIVER: Alex MacWilliams
"Breaker one-nine, the parking lot is chock fulla GI Joes an' cattle wagons. Time to put the hammer down, signal-7 these turkeys an' get this place clean an' green, over."
And if you thought that CB slang was inpenetrable, Breaker Box here was specifically designed to withstand the best spinners in the business. It's powerful, invertible and wrapped up tight in thick titanium. The lifting, flipping scoop can get under almost anything, but it's not as useful upside-down and if anyone manages to break the dangerously exposed wheels, they may just break the box into the bargain!

FROM READING, GRANNY'S REVENGE 2!
GUEST DRIVER: Playzooki
Who says only young robots can kick bottom? Whoever they are, Granny's back on her moped and ready to teach all those young whippersnappers a lesson in pain! The old dear is armed with a horrible hatchet and with the modifications made to her scooter, she's not only surprisingly manoueverable for her age, but a lot faster than you'd think at first glance. She is also top-heavy, flammable, weak in her axe arm and nearly 40kg lighter than the rest of the pack. I'll put the care home on standby, love, just in case.

FROM OXFORD & BRISTOL, THE MOUSETRAP!
GUEST DRIVER: Martijn Benschop
An unlikely Heat winner in Robot Wars of old, the Mousetrap is hoping to snap up another victory here in the Rumble. It's your usual wedge, but with a most unusual weapon - an arcing guillotine blade powered by carbon dioxide, designed to slice and ensnare unwary robo-rodents. Combined with good pushing power, the titular trap is an effective device, but it's not powerful enough to for self-righting and with questionable armour - including wood - this Mousetrap should hope the rats don't bite back hard!

FROM REDDITCH, IN WORCESTERSHIRE, PUSSYCAT!
GUEST DRIVER: Alex Valentine
Now, from rats to cats and one of the most successful RW bots ever. The pyramid-like Pussycat more than lives up to its name, as its four big wheels allow it to run any way up it wants. Throw in high top speeds, excellent manoueverability and a custom saw blade able to tear even the great Razer to shreds and you've got a kitten who's very hard to declaw. Pussycat may look the cat's pyjamas now, but the wheels are exposed to the elements and one good flip with that high ground clearance could put the cat out for the night!

FROM MALDEN, IN MASSACHUSETTS, REDRUM!
GUEST DRIVER: Mystic2000
You don't need a mirror to see that Redrum has murder on its mind. The whole machine can be best described as a weapon with a robot at the back - specifically, a hefty vertical spinning drum in bright blood red with armoured sides and a defensive wedge at the rear. The spinner is fearsome, to be sure, and the invertible frame mean it can even run upside-down. This does leave the wheels open to overhead attacks, of course, and the robot can get pretty unstable when the drum reaches top speed. Will Redrum get Sllabeulb?

FROM LEICESTER, SUMP THING!
GUEST DRIVER: Nick Fisher
Sump-thing wicked this way comes...
Deliberately designed to be as low-tech as possible, Sump Thing is the epitome of grunge engineering. The bot itself may look like a scrapheap on wheels, but amongst that mess of metal lies a ramming wedge, a pair of ramming/lifting forks and a rather nasty-looking axe blade. Sump Thing is a speedy little shambles and the spherical wheels provide some very good handling, but they are easy targets for more powerful machine and with no reliable srimech, this could be a case of "Sump Thing for nothing!"

HOUSE ROBOTS: Growler & Shunt

Roboteers, stand by...

(No, really. Stand by. Post's too long. Actual fight's in the next one. Bleh. )
