Laura (Pit Reporter ): (Comes up to Paul & Autoism) Right, the draw has been drawn. Do you know who you€™re up against?
Paul: No. (Chuckles)
Laura: (Laughs) It€™s Sakura.
Paul: Oooh, it€™ll be pretty tough to bear with, but I€™ll try to wrap my pliars around Sakura and pit it.
Laura: You think you can do it?
Paul: Probably, but you never know what will happen out there.
Laura: Well, Good luck out there.
Paul: Thanks.


Laura: And here€™s Frank Goacher with the beautiful and magnificent Sakura! So, your opponent for this battle... Autoism.
Frank: Well, he€™s got pretty thick armour, and a strong chassis, so my spinning shell doesn€™t look like it will go through it.
Laura: And?
Frank: €¦ and I guess the only way to beat him is to shock kill him, or maybe tear his weapon off.
Laura: Well then, I wish you good luck.
Frank: Thank you.
Laura: So, it looks like these teams are both confident. Back to you, Sam.

Sam Park: So, we€™ve passed the easy stuff, but now, it€™s the calm before the storm. Bring on Round 2!

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome€¦

SAKURA!!

A cone shaped machine, capable of dishing out a whopping 90 to 100 kJ. Frank Goacher is looking to shock kill his opponent, as he said.

AUTOISM!!

A very nicely made bot, with a crushing lifter, and a nasty attitude. Can it stand up to the deadly and dangerous Sakura?

Roboteers, Stand By€¦!

Booth 1: Sakura
Booth 2: Autoism

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!

Here we go, now. Sakura is immediately spinning up, and Autoism immediately presses the pit button. Now Sakura is crashing into Autoism!
CRASH!!!
Not a bad hit there! It bends the side skirt a bit, but not too much damage is going on here. Now, Sakura spins up to full speed and€¦ what the€¦ pink confetti? Paul doesn€™t like that ONE BIT! So, he drives Autoism front-first into Sakura. What€™s going to happen? Guess.
CRASH!!!!!
That attack bends the weapon a little, but it€™s still able to grab a tight hold of Sakura, and now€¦ Paul thinks it€™s time for some saw-time! Autoism carries Sakura into the saws! BZZT!! Ah, how I love a good ol€™ shower of sparks. Now, Autoism lets go, and now€¦
CRASH!!!!
Sakura scratches the side armour of Autoism, nothing else. Autoism is okay, and it just smashes into Sakura again!
SMASH!!!!
That didn€™t cause much damage, just a itty-bitty scratch again. Now, this is a very good battle so far€¦
CRASH!!!
Sakura, what are you doing?! Sakura just smashes into the polycarbonate wall, and takes a chunk of polycarbonate out of it! Now then, Sakura spins up again, and Frank looks a bit nervous. Autoism dances around the arena€¦ and runs into Sakura, front-first AGAIN!
CRASH!!!
Autoism takes very little damage, even after that full-speed hit by Sakura! Now, Sakura is spinning its body up to its maximum potential.
CRASH!!!!
Autoism collides again with Sakura, and will this go to a judge€™s decision, I wonder? With less than 13 seconds remaining, I€™ve got a feeling it would.
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦ 7€¦
CRASH!!
WOAH!! A very teeny-weeny piece of armour flies off from Autoism, courtesy of Sakura€™s spinning shell€¦
6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦
Autoism drives into Sakura but time runs out€¦
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦

CEASE!
