The contendahs today are€¦
AQUARIUS, with its Voltronic-style shape, front flipper, 25mph speed and 2-wheel invertibility. Its ground clearance of 5mm around the sides and back is not so good, but with 12mm titanium armouring, it is a good bet that it wont take much damage. However, its armour will probably be useless against€¦
KALI, who also has a speed of 25mph, plus sporting a Biohazard-style lifting arm, pneumatically powered. It sports boron carbide armour; 10mm in front, 5mm at sides and rear. On top it has 14mm polycarbonate. But it is not invertible, and having a Biohazard-style lifting arm, Im not sure if it can self-right probably€¦
Roboteers, stand by€¦
Oooh! Our final two house bots are Sgt. Bash and Cassius Chrome. Shocker.![]()

ACTIVATE!
Both bots slam head-first into each other, looking for an advantage, but its Kali who gets underneath Aquarius and throws it into the air with the pneumatic power. Aquarius lands upside-down but slams into Kali again, sailing over the lifting arm and over Kali into the wall€¦? Whats this? Theres smoke in the CPZ? OH MY GOODNESS!!! SERGEANT BASH HAS PUT HIMSELF ON FIRE!!! :sad: Dont know how that happened€¦and theres Refbot, putting him out. Back to the real fight, Aquarius rights himself and is at Kalis rear. She turns, but is flipped by Aquarius; luckily, she tips off of her side and lands right side up. This does not please Tony, or Aquarius, who flies straight at Kalis rear again. Kali reverses, expecting to try the same trick€¦nope, Aquarius got the time right, and Kali is tipped over onto her back. Aquarius wheels around and, seeing Bash out of the way, tries to have his way with Cassius Chrome, who is waiting in the CPZ. And so getting under the plow of the idiotic-looking monster, Aquarius activates his flipper€¦to no avail. Cassius Chrome is merely tipped up a little bit and comes down. Meanwhile, Kali has righted herself, and twists round, flying at Aquarius who is underneath Cassius Chrome. Aquarius again drives forward, but Kali is too quick, and slides the arm under Aquarius, hoping to get an OOTA! That thought is dashed as Aquarius merely tips onto his back, and scuttles away, Cassius Chrome screaming after him after also coming back down. Kali chases them both€¦and cheekily stops and hits the pit release, opening the pit if push comes to shove.Aquarius rights himself€¦right into Cassius Chrome! Not good for Tony, as Cassius Chrome shoves Aquarius into the side wall, and up onto his rear. Kali drives right into Cassius Chromes rear and begins lifting. The house robot is suddenly finding himself in a difficult situation, with only his plow on the ground, and his head to the wall. Against the wall and underneath Cassius Chrome, but not out, Aquarius fires the flipper, and pushes himself into Cassius Chrome. Cassius Chrome is shoved back into Kali, who again lifts the house robot. Aquarius backs into Kali, and fires the flipper. Cassius Chrome is tipped€¦and out! You saw it here! Cassius Chrome: over the fence and out of the arena! Refbot does not look too pleased. Time is running out, as Aquarius shoves himself backwards into Kali, who has the lifting up and so cant use it on Aquarius. Kali reverses, trying to separate Aquarius from her, but Aquarius keeps backing into her, and eventually€¦POW! Kali is shoved into the wall, and Aquarius scuttles away again. Oh dear! Kalis lifting arm is stuck! After that collision, no wonder!
