The play-off for third place...
Super Gore Evo v E Clawdius Unum

After 22 knockout battles we reach the only fight that wont let you progress in the tournament.Geez, so whats the point?
It could destroy or make your 2009 campaign in this championship, putting you at 3 or 4 in the seedings and therefore deciding what heat youre in....

The house robots ready to destroy some robot ASS in this round will be Matilda and Growler!

First into the arena is Super Gore Evo, 1 of the 2 Kody Kunz robots that made it to the grand final. It pitted three opponents in the heat, but was sadly flipped OOTA by Calm Down Dear in the first semi-final.

Its opposition is E Clawdius Unum, the successor of Clawdius Decimus Murderous, a classic vapourbot. It started badly in its round one battle, but came back strongly to immobilise Sheer Heart Attack 2. From then on it was pit and pit, as powerful contenders like Nitro-Gene 4.0 and Crimson Thunder bit the dust. Unfortunately it was pitted by Seung Mina III, Kodys other finalist in the second semi-final.

Booth 1:Kody Kunz
Booth 2:Steven McGregor
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
Both robots head towards each other, each trying to scent a weakness in its fellow crusher. Kody makes the first move, using his better traction to steer around to the side of Clawdius!
But Steve is on fire and turns to get its wedge underneath Super Gore!
He slams it into the angle grinder and brings that crusher into play on one of Super Gores tracks! Kody looks worried and tries to get off the wedge, but Steven holds tight and hoists Super Gore into the air!
The crowd cheers and Steven deposits Super Gore into the CPZ!With only one track working its not quick enough on the escape and Growler comes in, grabbing hold of the other track and shaking Kody around like a ragdoll!
Meanwhile Steven presses the pit release tyre and awaits Kodys release from Growlers jaws!
It happens, and Super Gore flies across the arena to land on the edge of the pit!
PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT PIT
Chant the crowd!
Steven can see the bronze medal on the horizon and gets ready to finish this round off!
CEASE!
A puff of smoke and its all over!
E Clawdius Unum takes third place while Super Gore devolves to fourth!

The Grand Final
Calm Down Dear v Seung Mina III

24 robots battled for the Easter Bunny trophy...
22 have fallen....
2 are left....
But theres only ONE trophy...
And there can only be ONE winner...
So let the wars begin!

The house robots residing over this final battle will be Sir Killalot and (its hammertime!) Mr. Pyscho!

Calm Down Dear shocked everyone in Heat A, flipping Shunt OOTA and toppling Matilda, then sending Worck the same way as Shunt. In its second round battle it performed yet another OOTA, giving Sithis a valuable flying lesson! It went on to defeat a Kody Kunz creation, The Zenith in the heat final and another (Super Gore Evo) in the semis, so Kody wants revenge!

If hes gonna get it it will be Seung Mina III helping him!This could be her last ever battle, so feast your eyes and prepare for Mina IV!
You can bet shell be back even if Kody loses this all-important final match...

Booth 1avid Sheppard
Booth 2:Kody Kunz
3,2,1,ACTIVATE!
The two flippers head towards each other, two very different designs using the same weapon...
David draws first blood, zooming in and toppling Mina!Kody self-rights and flips David in return!
Calm Down Dear is quick to self-right and gets underneath the rear end of Mina, ramming her for the full length of the arena!
CRASH!
She collides with the arena wall and bounces away before coming back on the attack!
FLIP!
Calm Down Dear lands on its side and rolls away like an unusual dustbin lid!It lands on its wheels and comes back again, this time pushing Mina into the CPZ!
CRASH!
Pyschos hammer comes down on Kody and the damage can be seen- the top armour is dented!Its slight, but it will count should this go to the judges!
FLIP!
Mina gets her own back and flips David again, and he swiftly self-rights to retaliate!
FLIP!
Mina is even quicker to self-right and pushes David again, before letting him fly once more!
CRASH!
Calm Down Dear lands in Killalots CPZ!
Killalot lifts him up in the claw and goes for a trademark spin!
CRASH!
Calm Down Dear bounces across the arena, landing upside down!It self-rights but Mina was ready and attacks again!
David looks to be on the ropes now as Mina repeatedly throws him onto his back!
One doubts how much power these two have got left, as the timer runs down!
One last flip from Mina turns Calm Down Dear back over onto the flame pit!
CEASE!
After that incredibly close battle both robots were still mobile, so we go to the judges!

Damage- 4/5 3/5
Aggression- 3/5 4/5
Control- 4/5 4/5

The judges are finding it too difficult, and so each judge must decide who he thinks was the better robot!
Matt Irvine looks ponderous, then makes his decision.
CALM DOWN DEAR!
The second judge considers for a full minute, then...

Proffessor Knoel Sharkey watches the replay- seven times then!
