Heat B now continues, with third seed Manic Monsoon, having repaired the damaged arm, going after newcomer Growling Storm 2.5!

3, 2, 1 - ACTIVATE!
As both robots left their squares and came into the centre of the arena, Growling Storm 2.5 tried to slip past Manic Monsoon to reach the rear, but MM was too fast and came into Growling Storms side! Growling Storm 2.5 fought against the shove, but MM was more powerful, and shoved it around into the wall where it could pin its opponent and get past the side skirt! The third seed then lifted its victim up against the wall and backed off, leaving it stranded - or at least, only for a moment, before Growling Storm managed to rev its wheels against the wall and slip back down! But MM charged full on as this was happening, so forcefully that Growling Storm 2.5 tumbled to one side! Its front now facing MM, it charged towards the side, but MM did a fast swerve which caused a head on impact instead! Both robots heaved, until MMs 60HP won out and it carried Growling Storm 2.5 onto the unopened pit! Again, Growling Storm was knocked sideways by the forceful collision with the wall, but its front remained balanced on MMs side, keeping its wheels off the ground! A moment later, MM had turned, but this caused Growling Storm 2.5 to slip off and land sideways on to MMs side! Before Growling Storm could turn and use its wedge, MM had run in a straight line to the pit release, and Growling Storm 2.5 chased it with its jaws! But by the time it caught up, MMs unskirted rear was out of reach and the third seed had it pinned against the wall again! Once the low wedge was past the skirts and the lifting arm was lifting it, Growling Storm 2.5 was helpless to prevent Manic Monsoon carrying it to the opened pit!
CEASE!

MANIC MONSOON GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!

Two powerful spinners now meet - Whirligig 4.0 and Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint! On paper, Whirligigs spinner is more powerful, but you cant count on things like that in this sport!

Whirligig 4.0 remained where it was to spin up, but Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint came out while spinning up to try and catch Whirligig on its front skirt! Whirligig 4.0 moved before it got there and went for the sides, but PRP also turned, so the 19th seed went up a corner, hitting the skirts while being too low for the blade! The skirts were now parted slightly at the corner, and PRP skimmed a short distance! It came rushing back, but Whirligig 4.0 rushed faster and took it across the side, leaving a scar along the right skirt! It reversed to hit again, but PRP turned to face it and there was another corner hit as both turned, widening the gap between the two skirts! PRP now spun into the wall, its blade not touching thanks to the skirts, and Whirligig 4.0 shuffled into the left side to cause another injury! Bouncing off, PRP came front on to Whirligig 4.0 and while it didnt go up the wedge enough to hit the blade, it was knocked into the wall so the spinner was slowed! Accelerating, PRP put the front wedge to use again, and Whirligig went further up it before deflecting off, but it still didnt go high enough to reach the blade!
Distancing itself from PRP to spin up, Whirligig 4.0 came back and evaded the next attempt to catch it on the front, so it could tear into the right side skirt again! It reversed as PRP turned, going back into the side, piercing the skirt with its blades and knocking PRP against the wall! The next impact between the two was another to the wounded corner, which caused both skirts to start peeling away! Knocked backwards, PRP quickly came back, only for Whirligig 4.0 to get its blades into the corner and reach the 3mm titanium underneath, causing a dent and a scratch! PRP now reversed as Whirligig 4.0 chased it, but got itself between PRP and the wall! PRP rammed hard, but Whirligig 4.0 dodged to strike the corner again to dent the titanium even more, and spin PRP back into the wall, so it could reverse, pierce the titanium and tear the foam filled wheel within!
PRP reversed again, turning towards the pit release to try and keep ahead of Whirligig 4.0, but the 19th seed still caught up before they got there! PRP turned around to use its rear, but this only allowed Whirligig to hit it in the left skirt! It was able to turn after the hit, back up, and ram hard, but again Whirligig 4.0 remained clear of the blade and deflected off, spinning PRP around so it could hit the left skirt, but PRP dodged so it hit a rear corner! Turning it around again, the 19th seed ran along the left skirt and pierced it! PRP reversed into the pit release, but Whirligig 4.0 quickly caught it and hit the damaged armour at the front again, the powerful spinner force causing internal damage that slowed PRP down, and left it finding difficulty in getting out of the corner! Whirligig 4.0 happily whacked it in the left side, damaging the exposed armour there, then in the corner again as it spun around, then in turn the right side, where the titanium was also pierced! One more hit along the right killed Powerpoint Reaches Pressurepoint, its blade slowing to a stop as it lay motionless in the corner!
CEASE!

WHIRLIGIG 4.0 GOES THROUGH TO THE HEAT FINAL!
