What Kane said.
The Ti scoop of Behemoth is pretty thin. That may sound bad, but against spinners that is actually an advantage. The Ti flexes a lot, thereby absorbing and deflecting a lot of the impact spinners have. The thing with spinners is not so much how much energy they have, but how much of it can be unloaded into the opponnent. With Behemoth that will not be very much.
That is why I think Behemoth will come on top.
Real-life roboteers are rubbishing my tactics.
This is awesome.

Heat C:Round 2, Battle 2
Whirligig 4.5 v Behemoth
FBS meets titanium scoop.There have been a lot of predictions for this battle, lets see whos right and whos wrong...
The house robots helping to decipher this question will be Cassius Chrome and Sergeant Bash.
Whirligig is heavier than Behemoth, as its a shufflebot. This should work to its advantage, and it will need all the advantages it can get, as Steven will have trouble getting through Behemoths scoop.
Behemoth will hope its scoop will stand up to Whirligig.A robot by Kane Aston and his team from Hemel Hempstead the formidable machine is entered into this tournament by David Sheppard.

CRASH!
Whirligigs weapon is stopped in its tracks again by that formidable scoop!
FLIP!
Stevens FBS is flipped over again and before it can spin up is pushed by Behemoth again, this time onto the flame pit!
FLIP!

By a single point Behemoth is the winner of the match and will go on the meet Seung Mina III in the heat final!
Tactics/Predictions?
Two predictions: Seung Mina to flip Behemoth out of the arena, and Kane to come in and tell us why that wont happen.
Well we have beaten a lot of high power flippers... but itd be hard to call. At the end of the day this will likely be down to the drivers.
Heat C Final
Seung Mina III v Behemoth
Lets take a look at how they both got this far...
1)In round one they teamed up to take on Cats with Wheels, and Seung Mina flipped it OOTA
2)In the second round Kody dispatched Storm II by pitting it.
3)Meanwhile Behemoth defeated Whirligig 4.5 on a judges decision.
The house robots watching over this bout of mayhem and destruction will be Matilda and Mr. Pyscho!
Seung Mina looks good coming in this heat final. Joey McConnell has predicted that Kody will toss Behemoth OOTA...
Behemoth had a far tougher round two draw than Seung Mina, but won anyway, dispatching Whirligig with some difficulty.The builder of the robot, Kane Aston thinks this will come down to who has the better driver.Could he be right?

Heat D:Round 1, Battle 1
Wedge Devolution v Chaos 2 v Another Night at the Bar
The scottish flipper, the 2-time british champion and the original spinning blade-design.
Plus the house robots, Growler and Sgt.Bash!
Wedge Devolution is a classic wedge shape as you can deduce from the name. It has a powerful rear hinged flipper that can easily lift a tonne!
Chaos 2 was the 2-time british champion!However, that was a long time ago in 1999 and 2000, so its a little out-of-date.
Another Night at the Bar is a very original design, a cylinder with a powerful horizontal blade on the bottom. Its an improvement on A Night at the Bar, which although powerful had a few problems that Martijn wanted to improve, and now has done!

CRASH!
The front panel of Chaos 2 is cracked, but Danny did manage to flip Martijn upon impact!However, ANATB landed the right way up and now comes on the attack to slam into Chaos 2s rear armour!
CRASH!
The weak back panel flies off as Wedge Devolution comes on the attack of Chaos 2, flipping it onto its back! Danny self-rights and chases Martijn, but he backs away to allow more spin-up time before crashing in on the attack again!
SLAM!
Chaos 2s Co2 bottle is knocked loose by the impact, and Danny lands in Sgt.Bashs CPZ!
CRUNCH!
Sgt Bash punctures the loosened canister, causing Chaos 2 to vent steam all over the arena!
The Wedge Devo comes in to finish the match by flipping Chaos 2 over!Danny cant self-right, but can Steven resist?
No, he cant.
FLIP!
Chaos 2 sails OOTA!
CEASE!
Wedge Devolution and Another Night at the Bar progress to the heat semi-finals!
Kody, I need to know what claws Super Gore Evo will be using before I can write the next fight.
