SMASH!!

The sound inside the coliseum suddenly changes from the roar of excited fans of kinetic energy weapons to the dangerous whir of the kinetic energy weapons themselves spinning up to their top speeds, and it€™s YACATR on the attack at the beginning, slamming into the side of Isolation and taking a large chunk out of the weak armour! And as that happens all of a sudden Isolation starts venting gas- it seems that crushing blow from YACATR has ruptured the co2 supply and all of a sudden Isolation is left without a srimech or secondary weapon! And Mega Masher 2 immediately notices this, rushing in with an intense box-rush, picking Isolation up on the wedge and slamming it against the pit release button before turning and bringing the disc into play, ripping off another piece of Isolation€™s armour plating and in doing so throwing the reverse wedge up and over onto its back! That€™s one robot down in a very short time, and now in comes Whirligig 4.5 the seventh seed on the attack of Another Night at the Bar, just catching Martijn€™s Code: BLACK esque machine at the front of the wheel housings where the tyres are exposed and the front right tyre is torn clean off by Whirligig€™s assault! And now in comes YACATR from behind, managing to strike the tyre behind the one Steven ripped off and now Another Night at the Bar has seriously impaired mobility! But the blade is still going at a high speed and Martijn turns into the side of Mega Masher 2, sending it spinning across the arena and slamming into the arena side wall with a CLANG! And now Tira IV comes in to build on the attack and slams into the side of Mega Masher 2, flipping it up onto the barrier! Chris€™ machine teeters there precariously for a few moments before toppling out of the arena and onto the camera tracks! That€™s two robots down and they€™re both vertical spinners, will Tira IV follow suit? Apparently not, as the Calibur femme attacks YACATR, flipping the left side of the robot up into the air, but not turning it right over, and immediately Tira is attacked side on by the robot that defeated its predecessor Tira III last season, the powerful shuffling ring spinner Whirligig 4.5! Tira spins out of control and smacks into the arena side wall, motionless for a moment before it springs back into life and chases Another Night at the Bar, shredding the back left tyre! But YACATR comes in from nowhere and slams into the rear of Tira IV, putting a gash into the Kevlar armour and sending the red machine spinning away again, this time spinning onto the killsaws, which come at an immense speed and flip it against the arena wall! Tira tries to self-right, but she€™s too far up the wall and so the self-righting spike goes over the barrier, not hitting anything at all! But the 30 second stacking rule saves her this time and YACATR obliges in freeing its stacked opponent, albeit with a hefty whack from the powerful LEM-200 powered spinning disc! CRASH! Tira IV is spun away onto the floor on its back, but quickly self-right and reverses into! The side of Another Night at the Bar, pushing it backwards across the arena floor and into the pit! That€™s the end of the round for Another Night at the Bar, but sadly it is for Tira IV too as Whirligig comes in on a surprise attack and finishes the vertical spinner with a sneaky shove, but what goes around comes around and all of a sudden YACATR is behind Whirligig with a fully spun up disc, and you know what happens next...

CEASE!

(Whirligig 4.5 is pitted) YACATR wins the disc battle!

Play-off

Ladies and Gentlemen...
Please welcome back for the final time, last season€™s runner-up and the audience favourite for bronze medallist this season, Nidhogg!
And opposite him in the pits, now being wheeled into the arena by our very own flying Dutchman, it has to have the most improved record in Robot SMASH!! this season than any other machine having been knocked out of the first round last time to reaching the Grand Final this time, Back to Rock III!

Roboteers, standby!

SMASH!!

Both robots are off to a quick start, with the six wheel drive of Back to Rock III quickly revving into gear as those lynch motors in the drive kick start the titanium machine as does the identical drive-train in the second seed Nidhogg, who wasn€™t in this battle last season as it had won its previous fight with success. All the same its Martijn who starts this fight better, dodging the narrow area of attack at the front of Nidhogg and turning to attack the side, getting underneath and pushing forward underneath, lifting Nidhogg into the air as he does so! However the saw blade misses the tyres entirely and so Martijn can do no more than dump Joey onto the killsaws to cause a little more cosmetic damage. BZZT! Nidhogg is tipped onto its front, but falls back onto its wheels and quickly runs across the arena to press the pit release button, signalling the siren and the descent of the pit! This tactical manoeuvre works just as well for Martijn as it does for Joey though as Back to Rock III follows across the arena and gets under the rear of Nidhogg this time and lifts it up once more, and this time the saw blade chips the castor at the front! That won€™t hurt Nidhogg too much though and Martijn pushes forwards to try and tip him right over the arena wall, but alas for Martijn the claw hooks over the barrier and just holds Nidhogg in the arena, allowing Joey to activate the hydraulics and just pull himself back onto the arena floor! Nidhogg guns those LEMs and reverses out of the attack zone Back to Rock III has next to the wall right now, thus escaping the current danger and preparing for an attack on the oncoming Back to Rock III, who finds itself being dodged and then as it turns to attack lifted from behind by the magmotor actuated lifting forks of Nidhogg! And the Razer-esque crushing arm immediately bites down onto the top of Back to Rock, holding Martijn€™s unseeded veteran in place! And all of a sudden it becomes apparent that the tables have been turned and now Joey makes his way over to the pit and he now lowers the forks as he raises the crusher, dropping Back to Rock III into the pit, out of the play-off and out of contention for the bronze medal which now be awarded to Joey McConnell!

CEASE!

Back to Rock III doesn€™t quite make the podium, Nidhogg (2) just does!

And so coming next...
Wedge Devolution (1) vs. PsycloniZer
The Grand Final...
