SMASH!!

And we€™re off! Both robots showed off good driving techniques and weaponry in round 1, and the seeded Killobite seems to be the more aggressive at the start of this bout, dodging the front flipper of Black Death and getting those forks under the side, clamping down with the crushing beak and lifting it into the air! Samuel is really caught between a rock and a hard place and fires his flipper desperately, but to no avail! Killobite hits the pit release button, but the impact loosens his grip on Revenge of Black Death and it escapes across the coliseum before turning to meet the oncoming attack from Killobite and Samuel swings his spinning disc into the side of Killobite, although sadly for him the weak armour of Killobite isn€™t even touched as the external steel bar chassis deflects the blow! Killobite drives forward to attack, but Revenge of Black Death manages to sneak its flipper underneath the space to the right of Killobite€™s forks and with a snort of carbon dioxide Killobite is up and over onto its back! But it does have that srimech built into the rear and the seed is back onto its wheels quickly, however Revenge of Black Death has spun up that disc again and smacks it into the side of Killobite 5.0, and this time one of the blades just manages to catch the armour behind the chassis and there€™s a fairly sized gash there now! But Killobite€™s internal workings seem to be in perfect order and Kody drives in under the rear of Revenge of Black Death and lifts it up, bring the crusher down onto the disc and biting down hard to stop it spinning! But this grip isn€™t as strong as the last one and Revenge of Black Death only has to fire its flipper to get away safely. Killobite quickly follows and meets the front wedge of Black Death head on, his forks getting in underneath Black Death€™s flipper and lifting it up so that the spinning disc hits the floor and rips out a chunk of it! This does however momentarily stall the disc and Kody brings the crusher down on Black Death€™s front flipper, which is fired in an attempt to free itself, but the claw is too strong and holds the flipper down for Kody to keep Revenge of Black Death in the air before turning around and heading for the pit, where it slowly drops Samuel€™s spinner/flipper combo before suddenly letting go as it disappears in a puff of smoke for the seed to go through to the heat final!

CEASE!

Revenge of Black Death is not avenged and dies; Killobite 5.0 (10) goes through to the heat final!
