Ive only had Kodys tactics, but the tactics for Martijn and Alex are quite to quess, so heres the final 2 battles before we make the final 4!

ROUND FIVE:
Kali (1) vs. Intrigue
Storm 2 (4) vs. Tengu VII (

KALI vs. INTRIGUE

Booth #1: Kody K
Booth #2: Alex H

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

The motors in both robots boost into life, and they power forwards at full speed! Kali doesn€™t stop driving forward, but Intrigue does, and as the Champion storms past, the axe comes down! The Polycarbonate top protection is nothing to that axe as a large hole is caused to the top! Alex tries to shift his robot to the left in order to break itself loose from the axe€¦the axe retracts, and Kali now powers on into Intrigue€™s front! A burst of CO2 and the Canadian Lumberjack flies over onto his back, but the axe instantly slices up to put Intrigue back the right-way up! But Kali rams in again and that front wedge slams underneath the sides of Intrigue again, and puts all the power down onto the ground AND STORMS INTRIGUE TOWARDS THE ARENA WALL! Kali flips Intrigue skywards, but has flipped too soon! Intrigue just hits the wall and that axe once again puts it the right way up! Kali speeds in to try and finish Intrigue off with an OOTA, but Kody have managed to avoid it! Kali speeds and smashes into the wall, and Kody now sees this as his chance, and brings the axe in again, but this time onto the wheels of Kali! The Vulkalon doesn€™t seem to be greatly damaged, but the repeated hammering from Intrigues axe does seem to be annoying Alex quite a bit. Kali is now finding hard to drive along, and Intrigue brings the axe in again, this time onto the top of the flipper! The axe seems to dig into the ABC flipper, and Intrigue puts its power down and slams into Kali the pit release button! The axe withdraws and Kali spins around once again to get underneath the Intrigue ground clearance and shoot the newcomer up into the atmosphere, who lands inside the ring and quickly self-rights - BACK ONTO THE FLIPPER! Kali pushes Intrigue along towards the pit, but Intrigue sways off course, and Kali finds itself on the edge of the pit! Intrigue quickly fires down the axe, and it€™s PULLING AGAINST KALI! Intrigue seems to be pulling Kali backwards, so close to the pit€¦ KALI SUDDENLY STARTS PULLING BACK! One robot is going down the pit, and it seems to be Intrigue going down, but Kody twitches to the left, and pushes forward! Kali smashes against the walls, and seems to now be stuck on Intrigue€™s front wedge, who now spins around, and slams the Champion forward€¦AND DOWN THE PIT! Kali lies in a smoking heap in the bottom of the pit whilst Intrigue reverses to the centre and spins in victory!

Result:
Kali (1) is destroyed, and is in need of the God of Creation!!
+1>INTRIGUE GOES THROUGH TO THE SERIES GRAND FINAL!!!

STORM 2 vs. TENGU VII

Booth #1: Kody K
Booth #2: Alex H

Roboteers, stand by!!!

3€¦2€¦1€¦activate!!!

Storm 2 speeds straight off the starting blocks as Tengu VII blades off doom start to gain some speed! Tengu dodges away from Storm 2€™s incoming charge, and now Ed and Martijn know they€™re too late - Tengu€™s blades are a blur, and they are spinning even faster! Storm 2 hits into the blur of Tengu€™s destruction€¦AND STORM IS SENT SPINNING! Storm 2 spins 360 and now seems to have a long cut along the front armour! Storm is still facing forward, and so Tengu charges in again, and Storm is sent away once more, now with a chink in the front armour! Storm 2 reverses away all this and slams into the pit release button, whilst Tengu still spins on, and comes forward! Storm charges at it, and once again takes a blow, now smashing in the front panel! The front-left panel slides off the front, broken in 2 parts! Ed now knows that he needs to finish Tengu off quickly, and just charges on! BANG! The front receives more hurt, but Storm is now underneath Tengu! The lifting arm instantly comes into action! Tengu finds itself flipped over onto its back, but is ready to self-right, but Storm 2 places its lifter just a little bit over Tengu€¦and the self-righter fires, but it stays upside-down! Ed puts the power down, and Tengu is BEING SENT TOWARDS THE PIT! BOOM! Down falls the vicious FBS!

Result:
Tengu VII ( needs to make room for Tengu VIII!!
