SMASH!!
Both robots are off like bullets out of a gun, Knyfe using that 15mm hardox wedge to prevent GBOD doing any damage to the front, and Paul box-rushes Leo before the giant bell of death can get up to speed, and pushes him up against the arena wall! Knyfe holds GBOD there for a few seconds, then retreats and heads across the arena to press the pit release button, which it does, but this has given GBOD time to spin up, so when Knyfe comes back on the attack Leo goes roaring on to meet him!
CRASH!
GBOD€™s spinning shell throws Knyfe away, and although Leo is knocked back slightly GBOD seems to be fine, and spins up again before Knyfe can recover! Paul comes back on another slam, and this time connects with GBOD with the side of the scoop, meaning Knyfe is spun away rather than flung across the arena, but how will that help, as GBOD is spinning again, albeit not at full speed when Knyfe comes in on another onslaught and as a result GBOD rides up the wedge and is rammed across the arena and into the pit release button corner, where Knyfe€™s high speeds throw it right up and over! Leo is slightly worried, and tries to self-right, but Knyfe pushes in again and feeds GBOD to the Killsaws! BZZT! Leo is bounced around by the saws, but it hasn€™t helped him self-right and Knyfe continues to harass GBOD, keeping the scoop underneath and ramming Leo into the wall, trying to knock him out of the arena, but not quite getting there. Eventually Paul gives up that idea and drives in underneath GBOD again, now pushing it around the coliseum and towards the pit! GBOD struggles to get that srimech working and finally does so, but it lands on Knyfe€™s wedge and now Paul is laughing as he manoeuvres Leo towards the pit and his second loss of the tournament! GBOD tries to get off the wedge, but Knyfe puts the speed on and dumps GBOD into the chasm with a puff of smoke!
CEASE!
Don€™t know if anyone was expecting that, but Knyfe goes through to the heat B final while GBOD is pitted and eliminated!
We now go the pits, where Leo is sending his first vapour packing.
Me: Are you disappointed with that loss Leo?
Leo: Yes, I thought I could just keep knocking Knyfe away like I did at the start, but the high speeds made it too difficult.
Me: Still, 3 vapours and 3 realies left, eh?
Leo: I feel more optimistic about my chances in some of the other heats.
Me: Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, now back to the coliseum for the second Heat B semi-final!
Heat Semi-Final 2

SMASH!!
The battle of the axes begins, with the seed having the more powerful axe and Axe-o-Lotl having more horsepower, but maybe not a more adequate shape for pushing with clearance at the front, whereas SGO has skirts. And it€™s SGO that comes straight on the attack, and both robots€™ axes come down and hit the other€™s bodywork, but no real damage done and Axe-o-Lotl drives on to try and push SGO across the arena, but Christopher drives up the skirt and SGO rams Axe-o-Lotl onto the Killsaws! BZZT! Axe-o-Lotl is turned over by the saws, but quickly self-rights, only to land sideways on to SGO, who clamps it with the axe! But SGO hasn€™t gotten underneath, and Axe-o-Lotl with the more power is able to swing the seed around and back onto the saws! BZZT! SGO is flipped up a bit, but holds onto Axe-o-Lotl and gets off the saws, but is forced to let Axe-o-Lotl go before it is thrust onto the saws again! Chris drives a short way off before turning to meet the approaching SGO again, and the two lock horns once more, both swinging their axes down, and as Axe-o-Lotl clamps SGO Chris pushes Daniel back onto the saws again! BZZT! Both release their axes, and now Axe-o-Lotl backs away, but SGO gets underneath the front and though Axe-o-Lotl brings its axe down so does SGO, clamping Chris so that Daniel can get a proper ram into the pit release button! The siren wails and the chasm lowers, but now SGO is on top and turns to start the drive towards the pit to dump Axe-o-Lotl put of the competition! But Chris isn€™t going down without a fight and repeatedly slams SGO with his axe, denting the top armour and finally making a small hole in the top! Daniel drives over to the pit, but can€™t dump Axe-o-Lotl in as Chris is still holding onto SGO through that hole in the top armour! And if SGO were to dive in there€™s a big risk Axe-o-Lotl will land on the other side, leaving SGO to rest in a puff of smoke, so Daniel can€™t end the match this way- or at least, not yet! SGO pulls Axe-o-Lotl away and puts Chris on the saws, (BZZT!) so the axe head is jerked out of SGO, although Daniel loses his grip on Axe-o-Lotl also. And now Chris turns and hits SGO with his axe again, from the side and making another hole in the top armour, but SGO uses its vacuum and pulls Chris back onto the saws! BZZT! And another attack is proved futile, as Axe-o-Lotl loses its hold again, and can€™t strike as SGO is at the side of it, whacking it with its axe! Axe-o-Lotl drives away, but SGO rams in from the front, getting underneath and pushing Chris down to the other end of the arena and onto the Killsaws! BZZT! Axe-o-Lotl is flipped over, but once again self-rights very swiftly and lands on top of SGO, who uses its axe as a front hinged flipper and throws Axe-o-Lotl onto the saws again, this time upside down! They bounce Chris away, and he fires the axe in mid air, only to fall down upside down with the axe open! He drags the axe in and self-rights, but SGO was ready again and pushes it across the arena and into the opposite wall, both robots striking another blow with their axes!
CEASE!
With both robots still mobile the match goes to a judges€™ decision!
Damage:
SGO- 7 x 4=28
Axe-o-Lotl- 8 x 4= 32
Aggression:
SGO- 9 x 3= 27
Axe-o-Lotl- 8 x 3= 24
Control:
SGO- 9 x 2= 18
Axe-o-Lotl- 7 x 2= 14
Dominance:
SGO- 8 x 1= 8
Axe-o-Lotl- 7 x 1= 7
Overall:
SGO- 81pts
Axe-o-Lotl- 77pts
And with a margin of just 4pts, the second judges€™ decision for Axe-o-Lotl doesn€™t go in his favour like the first one did; Supreme Glory Omega goes through to the Heat B final!
Heat B Final:
