Thanks everybody! In the next Crash & Burn Tournament, I€™m hoping for maybe even 16 competitors, but we shall see.

Now then, I have some awards to give away, oh yes. This is the big surprise.

Most Original Design

There were quite a few original designs in here, including Grand Finalists Infusion and Sheer Heart Attack. However this award goes to BIACS-LE. Being able to protect your disc and sacrifice your armour to get in a huge shot has really never been done before this successfully, and in this method. This is top notch in my books. Congratulations Matthew Fowler.

Best Engineered Vapourbot

This just had to be given to that one bot, that one bot whose ingenuity gave itself a huge advantage every time. Infusion wins this award fair and square, the Kinetic Boost in its rim giving it unparalleled ramming force, which drove it to the Grand Finals. Congratulations Aaron Knight.

Best Sportsman

Everybody played nice, but the one who played nicest was none other than our own Martijn M Benschop. Congratulations Martijn.

Best Fight

I€™m sure everyone would agree with me, but the best fight of the entire tournament so far was the epic tale of The Disc 5 vs. Infusion in the semi-finals.

Best Design

Again, there were many designs out there that competed for this, but the bot that beat them all to it was Tempest Evil-er-oution, as its spinning, bouncing ring has little disadvantages and its tactics have earned it a spot in the Grand Finals. Congratulations Frank Goacher.

There you have it, five awards have been given out and all is said and done...except...

Next up: The Grand Final
