Heat 3

ROUND ONE:
Terrorhurtz (5) vs. Kali vs. BOTCG
Clawdius Decimus Murderous (21) vs. Terror Gear 3 vs. Lunch Box

From Oxford, seeded #5, Terrorhurtz!!
Entered by John Ried
Welcome back to the king of Robot Wars axes, as it pierced out Axe-O-Lotl, Hell Machine, The Axe Attaxe, Whirligig 4.0, but fell to Storm 2 in the round before the final, however, it outlasted Crusher C.U before being pitted by Y4, to take 5th place! It€™s still shaped like a tetrahedron, armoured with a 6mm Stainless Steel front, and 12mm Polycarbonate armour, as well as that dreadful axe generating 900kg of force! It is very strong and hard to beat, but Terrorhurtz has a high rear ground clearance, open for many a flipper!

From Geddington, Kali!!
Entered by Alex Holt
Back comes a Storm 2 clone, hoping to recreate the formers success. A simple box wedge, with 6 wheel drive, and 2 LEM-130€™S at 46V, giving 25mph and 18hp. It also has a fiercely thick front end, being armoured with 1cm of Aluminium Boron Carbide, a substance which is twice as thick as the tough metal, Tungsten Steel, but lighter than Titanium, as well as having 5mm ABC for the sides and rear, including 14mm Polycarbonate for the top. The Bio-Hazard flipper has some power, but an axe could get through the top!

From Dadford, BOTCG!!
Entered by Matt Fowler
This machine€™s Back On The Chain Gang! An invertible pushing box, using 2 Eteks at 48V to give 30hp to power 4 wet Go-Kart wheels. The shell is made of 5mm Stainless Steel, a substance that could keep many a machine masher away. For weapons, it sports a 12.5kg drum, spinning at 5500rpm and generating 28kj of force!! It is tough, but it can be flipped easily!

In quite possibly the most exciting match-up yet, we go over to the arena, as the crowd cheers, as banners for Terrorhurtz, Kali and BOTCG fly!

They all speed into the middle of the arena, as Terrorhurtz turns into Kali, getting under the front, and pounding the 14mm Polycarbonate top. The top is getting wrecked, but a flip from the flipper, sends Terrorhurtz the message to back off. Now the pair team up on the sides of BOTCG, as Kali flips, Terrorhurtz axes, resulting in many a dent hitting the top and sides of BOTCG. Kali flips it back over, giving it more aggression points. Terrorhurtz comes back for Kali, axing the top, as BOTCG his Kali in the sides, flipping it over, but Kali runs away before stylishly self-righting and charging into and flipping Terrorhurtz over. Terrorhurtz and Kali now try to attack the front of BOTCG, but they are both bounces away, until Terrorhurtz gets around the sides, getting really far underneath, pushes it towards the arena wall, and the pit release button, but Kali charges in to flip it over the wall.

Result:
BOTCG gets beaten in Round One!
TERRORHURTZ (5) AND KALI GO THROUGH TO ROUND TWO!!

From Scotland, seeded #21, Clawdius Decimus Murderous!!
Entered by Steven McGregor
He is Clawdius Decimus Murderous, a robot with a sword of doom! Like the other seed in the heat, Terrorhurtz, Clawdius has a great battle record, but also like Terrorhurtz, it was beaten by runner-up Storm 2 last time around. Its still a 4 wheel drive wedge with a crusher, but this time, instead of 3.25mm Hardox, its 5mm Hardox. With almost everything the same, its questionable to see how well it€™ll do.

From Ottawa, New York, Terror Gear 3!!
Entered by Antony Politz
The idea of terror has gone into third gear! This American robot is box shaped, geared to get up to a speed of 26mph, and has 8mm Titanium. For weaponry, it has a 15kg drum, capable of destroying a few mm€™s of Titanium! But the armour is weaker than most, but will you last long enough to get it?

From Largs, Lunch Box!!
Entered by Scott Anderson
A tasty robot, of which I€™ve made a completely tasteless joke! Lunch Box is a wedge shaped machine with a full-pressure front hinged flipper. The robots powerful drive means it can get under anything and flip it OOTA, no questions asked! The armour and speed is decent, but if it gets flipped against the side, it could flip itself out!

Prepare folk, for the battle of the machines with the dangerous names: Clawdius Decimus Murderous, Terror Gear 3, AND Lunch Box!

Scott presses down on his controls first off, and powers Lunch Box into CDM, hoping to break underneath and score a quick win, but its CDM who gets underneath and pushes Lunch Box into the pit release button. Terror Gear isn€™t doing much, at the moment, as Lunch Box is pushed into it. CDM breaks its hold on Lunch Box, and turns away, as Lunch Box now attacks, and flips CDM 3ft into the air and 3metres forwards. Terror Gear comes in to try and keep it down, but doesn€™t succeed, as Lunch Box now decides to push Terror Gear towards the sidewall and flip! Terror Gear out!

Result:
Terror Gear 3 jammed in reverse, drives out of the competition!
CLAWDIUS DECIMUS MURDEROUS (21) AND LUNCH BOX GO THROUGH TO ROUND 2!!

ROUND TWO:
Terrorhurtz (5) vs. Lunch Box
