Activate!

Psyclonised remains practically motionless when €œActivate€ is called, but Panicking rushes off for a quick start! Overwhelmed, Andy reverses his FBS, but not in time!
CLANG!
Panicking is slightly swept away by Psyclonised€™s ring, but does manage to activate those lifting forks anyway to leave Psyclonised on its side against the arena wall! Panicking backs off, and Psyclonised slowly slides off the wall and back on its feet, but Panicking comes in again!!! Psyclonised is squeezed between Panicking and the wall and ends up on Panicking€™s right. There, Andy quickly drives away from Panicking to finally get that weapon to do some work. Panicking turns towards Psyclonised, but those 6 wheels really slow it down! Psyclonised€™s ring is speeding up nicely and Panicking can€™t reach him fast enough€¦ Panicking aims for a ram, and Psyclonised aims for a spin!
CRASH!
The two machines meet head-on! Panicking smartly activates its forks upon colliding€¦ making Psyclonised wobble backwards, but that ain€™t nothing to what Psyclonised did to Panicking! Panicking€™s lifting forks are bend and torn beyond recognition! And seem to be unable to go down to the ground anymore! Psyclonised regains consciousness and has a go at Panicking again! Panicking drives away!
CRASH!
Psyclonised still nudges Panicking€™s front corner! And just check out that damage done to that polycarbonate! Panicking continues his path to retreat, but this path suddenly doesn€™t go as straight as it did . One of Panicking€™s front wheels€™ axles is bend! The MN1-champ looks as if he bloody well knows he had a slow start today, but this fight is turning into his favor. He comes in again on the very badly moving Panicking!
CRASH!!!
Same corner, more damage. That front wheel is now actually stuck AGAINST the wheel right behind it! With only one wheel left on one side, Panicking is driving circles rather than lines now€¦ WHAT DO THE JUDGES THINK OF THIS?

CEASE

Panicking has been beaten into submission
Psyclonised (1) goes through to the heat final!

Round 2
Fight 2

Cyclone Force 2.5 vs B2B
Cyclone Force 2.5 will use the Kan Opener-style claws today.

Activate!

Today we meet two extremes in speed. Cyclone Force immediately heads towards B2B 25 mph while B2B is driving around at 8.5 mph. It€™s no miracle that both machines meet each other damn close to B2B€™s starting spot. Right there, Cyclone Force and B2B stand face-to-face to determine who of them will receive the right to fight reigning champ Psyclonised in this Heat Final! B2B puts his great acceleration to use and rams Cyclone Force€™s front corner! The interchangeable bot moves UP and OVER its nemesis, as if he was facing Storm 2 himself! At Back to Basic€™s back, Cyclone Force turns around, but so does B2B of course, who accelerates for another ram!
CLANG!
Yup, 2 rams in such close succession deserves a €œCLANG!€ in my book! Cyclone Force finds itself at B2B€™s backside again, but he does not walk in the same trap again. The Force drives away from B2B, who turns around and gives chase, but the speedy Cyclone Force is already beyond B2B€™s reach. The Storm 2ish machine turns around now and the two machines are again locked in a face-to-face stalemate. Both come in now€¦ but Cyclone€™s pincers reach B2B€™s armor first! The side titanium gives in slightly and Cyclone Force starts pushing B2B. The wedge flipper has a tiny foothold underneath Cyclone€™s front though and activates its flipper. As a result, the clutch of vapourbots moves up into the air as one before crashing back on the floor, where Cyclone can€™t hold B2B in its claws anymore! B2B roams free, but the scars left by his nemesis are clearly visible! B2B€™s position is still within Cyclone€™s reach, and B2B quickly drives underneath one of the claws and flips its opponent away! Cyclone Force goes up into the air and lands on its invertible back. B2B comes in for another ram as Cyclone comes in for one more pinch. The latter avoids the dangerous wedge opposing him in a last minute effort, and the wedge turns around. Cyclone Force has its claws around B2B€™s front side, and they start closing in! B2B is again stuck, and he again fires its flipper€¦ to no use! Cyclone Force starts what seems to be a path to the pit, and B2B numerous make little to no difference in this! Cyclone Force is holding B2B over the pit now, AND HE LETS GO!

CEASE

B2B meets the bottom of the pit
Cyclone Force 2.5 goes through to the heat final!
