If you never try you will never know. Lights will guide you home, and enlighten your bones, and I will try to fix you.

I€™m high on a mixture of medicine and tablets to keep my illness at bay, so I€™m sorry if this fight isn€™t up to normal standards.

Has anyone else noticed that Fix You is such a sad song to listen to?

Both vapourbots are away, these two drivers do not like hanging around squares which used to be coloured but over time, all the wheel spins has painted them black. You get your history from the union jack, as both robots take their own routes to determine who gets to draw the first blood. The axe is ready on Hell Machine, as it is hoping to draw Natural Selection down to hell. Suspended high in the sky is the words that we see in our dreams.

Hell Machines breaks the deadlock first and goes over to try to get underneath the rear end of Natural Selection, but Chris turns around to defence his exposed rear end, it has a modest ground clearance, but no weapons to defend against wedges. Both robots meet head-on, as Natural Selection gets it€™s wedge underneath the front wedge of Hell Machine, as the arm starts to rise, the axe comes swinging across back and forward like the Cornish mad axe-man.

Each swing is putting a lovely go-faster dent into the top of Natural Selection, the hydraulic lifting arm has stuck up, as the crusher starts to move, as Hell Machine tries to get away from the slightly raised arm, as the top of Natural Selection looks like a pepper-pot, as the crusher comes into play and starts to crush though the wedge itself, with ease really, but what is that leaking from Natural Selection, as the axe on Hell Machine starts another burst of attacks, as the axe arm is swinging back and forward at full rate of hitting, putting lots more dents into the top of Natural Selection, as Chris starts to move forward, but the wheels are spinning, pushing up what looks like to be hydraulic fluid, the weapons on Natural Selection do look a bit dead.

Hell Machine stops swinging the axe as the pivot is getting slightly warm, as Ref comes in to spilt the two robots up. Lifting Hell Machine up from Natural Selection, but having trouble, as the front wedge is still pinned to the body of Natural Selection though it€™s weapon, which has broken, all the safety systems has been knocked out by blowing of axes. The clock is stopped, as ref comes into it€™s own, and manages to lift Hell Machine up, by trying to push back up the crusher. The wheels of Ref have started to spin backwards, as he places Hell Machine down, and pushes Natural Selection forward, to show a large lake of hydraulic fluid. The arena cleaners are heard to be moaning about the extra clean up job.

The clock has been started once more, as both robots return to a game of contact, as Ref has returned back to the corner, with Natural Selection looking a lot worse for wear, Chris goes for the attack, avoiding the large lake, which Hell Machine has dodged around the side. The arena spikes fire at once, sending Hell Machine into the air and onto it€™s back, a quick self-right, self-rights Hell Machine, as it comes back to attacking mode, spinning on it self to avoid an attack from Natural Selection, but Chris knows that without a weapon, and with the arena spike in effect within a few metres, he is looking worried, with his pepper-pot machine. Hell Machine slams into the front end of Natural Selection, and gets underneath the weapon, and pushes forward, lifting Natural Selection€™s front wedge up a tad. The full power from Hell Machine comes into play, as Natural Selection is being pushed backwards, smoke pouring off it€™s tyres as they try to find grip, a large wave has formed from the standing fluid, as Hell Machines goes forward more, and pushes Natural Selection onto the spike.

3, 2, 1, the spike fires, sending Natural Selection onto it€™s top. With no self-righter, all hope is lost, as Hell Machine gives the underbelly another hit with the axe. The count-down has started, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and there goes the red card.

Cease

In your honour, Natural Selection, beaten by lots and lots of axe hits, Hell Machine, the 17th seed, makes a fine return to past-glory and is selected to move onto the final 16.

Next Time:
