SMASH!!

Two extremely powerful flippers do battle in this bout, one of them also has thwackbot capabilities, is invertible and is seeded, but has a narrow area of attack and the question is will the realie Gravity pick up on that? Andy certainly hopes so, as he dodges the front of Liar 2 and tries to bring his own flipper under the rear end of Martijn€™s vapour, but Liar 2 swings around and spins Gravity away with a smack from the side spike. No real damage, but Liar 2 will get aggression points should this match go to a judge€™s decision. However Andy doesn€™t plan on a judge€™s decision just yet and gets in under the rear of Liar 2, ramming forward to get the seeded machine riding high on the wedge before he fires the flipper to send Liar 2 flying up into the air! A few seconds of air-time and Liar 2 is back on the arena floor with a CRASH(!), driving a short way away from Gravity before turning to try and get under the rear ground clearance, but Andy is too quick and swerves around to get the front of the flipper under Liar 2 again, and with another might effort from the colossal flipper Liar 2 gets thrown up into the air again, sailing through the air before landing just inside the arena wall! Quickly Martijn heads back into the centre of the arena and finally gets his own flipper under the rear ground clearance of Gravity, firing it to let Andy get some air time for himself, but Gravity lands well short of the arena wall and still on its wheels, allowing Andy to go straight back on the attack and get under the side of Liar 2 this time, ramming the seed across the arena and firing the flipper as the two career towards the arena wall! However Liar 2 was too far up the flipper and is thrown backwards off the wedge, landing behind Gravity with the flipper ready! Martijn gets underneath and flips, but again Gravity goes more up than across and lands just inside the wall, ramming under the side of Liar 2 again before pushing it across the arena and suddenly ending the match with one last big effort from that flipper that none of us really expected right now as Liar 2 seemed to be coming back strongly, but it€™s all over and Liar 2 teeters on the rails for a whole two seconds before finally wobbling on the wrong side of the wall and hitting the camera tracks, and it€™s that sound that marks the end of Liar 2€™s run in this season of Robot SMASH!! .

CEASE!

Liar 2 (6) lied way too much; Gravity continues to defy gravity!

SMASH!!

Both of these machines have front hinged flippers, though Tails also has a horizontal spinning bar on the rear of that box wedge design. What we are wondering at the start of this bout is who will join Gravity in the heat final and whether or not Turbo Tails€™ srimech will prove potent enough to get Steven€™s third robot into the semi-finals. We€™re about to find out soon though as the two robots meet head on, their ground clearances cancelling each other out before Cat reverses around and gets under the side of Turbo Tails before pushing in underneath and causing the rear blade to hit the floor with a CLANG! However right now the focus is on Cat with Wheels, who is right underneath Turbo Tails and fires the flipper, sending Steven tumbling over onto his back! Danny reverses a little while watching Turbo Tails as Steven fires the flipper hopefully, trying to get Tails back onto its wheels and back into this match, but it€™s no good and it seems Sonic€™s buddy is out of Robot SMASH!! again.

CEASE!

A very fast match as Turbo Tails jets out of the contest; Cat with Wheels goes onto the heat final!

And so...
