And in very similar fashion to the last fight, the robot on the left goes for the box rush. Resonance turns away from the attack, and Macduff nearly hits the arena wall as it tries to reverse away. Resonance is backing off, trying to get its drum spinning to a reasonable speed, as Macduff comes in, and lines up a ram...Resonance moves forward to try and hit the sides, but Macduff turns, and goes in!
CRASH! And Macduff bounces backwards, not quite thrown away by the energy, but sporting a slightly bent spike...it tries to keep the initiative though, as Resonance tries to manuver around the side. Macduff turns, and comes in again with the spike!
CRASH! Macduff does go flying this time, but lands on its rounded back and comes down on its tracks! Resonance turns away, Aaron trying to buy some spin up time. Macduff drives over the flame grid, turning around to come in on the attack, but that spike is looking rather bent now - its almost sticking in the air. Macduff drives in, residual flames blazing behind it*, as Resonance turns to keep its weapon facing the opponent. Macduff thinks about ramming, Resonance moving in with the drum at full speed, but it doesnt anticipate Macduff well enough, as it comes in on the side!
CRASH! And somehow, Resonance got a drum hit in, and a rip has now appeared in Macduffs side...it hasnt stopped the charge much though, as it comes in again, and goes underneath the drum with the wedge! Resonance isnt spinning any longer, the spike shaft of Macduff stopping the teeth from moving, and it is now being pushed into the arena walls by the Scottish rambot. Macduff turns towards the pit, but in the process manages to drop Resonance, which turns away...or its turning away slowly, as one of the wedgelets protecting the wheels is stuck underneath the left hand side of the robot, severely impeding its movement, and Macduff sees this and rams again! The drum is spinning, somewhat, but it doesnt seem to have much effect on Macduff, just knocking it backwards slightly, as Resonance inexorably is driven towards the pit...Macduff turns, slowly, attempting to line itself up to drop Resonance in the pit, and pushes. Aaron is holding his controls up in desperation, but his robots drum is only knocking one of the edges of Macduff a bit, until one of its wheel pods slides down onto the edge of the pit...
CRASH! What happened there? Macduffs front skirt is hanging by a thread - the hinges must have been hit by the weapon as it went down! Kody looks briefly alarmed, but then Resonance, jolted slightly backwards by the impact, slides along the edge of the pit slightly before tipping down in a pall of smoke. Aaron looks puzzled, partially relieved that its all over, while Kody smiles to himself in his control booth.

CEASE

Comments, predictions, thoughts? I especially want the last one as Im not sure how well Im doing the battles with spinners in, as its not a subject Im really knowledgable about.

*Also, what was it on TV with the little residual bits of flame following robots for a few seconds after they drove over the flame jets? Is it some inherent flammability of robots, or a property of fire?
