3€¦2€¦1€¦ACTIVATE!

And it€™s go! go! go! as Storm II immediately powers towards the Aussie Infusion and aims to get underneath the front wedge. Infusion, however, has other plans, as instead of moving towards its opponent continues to stay in its starting position - the spinning outer ring whirring manically and causing the dust on the arena floor to blow wildly. Storm II gets nearer and nearer Infusion, and eventually slams head first into the front wedge€¦ but fails to get underneath, instead the impact sending both machines recoiling backwards. Infusion begins to start its attack - moving towards Storm II, who is recovering from the first collision, and aims to get the front wedge underneath the side skirts. Storm II, however, quickly speeds up and comes in for another smash on Infusion - this time breeching the front wedge and sending the machine from Down Under into the arena wall! The plexiglass wall of the arena shudders wildly, but withstands the colossal impact! Aaron Knight frantically drives Infusion away from the arena wall, the spinning rim already rotating at its top speed, but Storm II comes in once again for a slam. This time, however, it€™s Infusion who comes out on top - some dodgy driving by the Storm II team sends their machine careering into the arena wall, with a quick-thinking Aaron Knight reversing Infusion into its opponent. The noise of metal on metal fills the air, as the side panel of Storm II is scratched ferociously, as if a wildcat had attacked it! Aaron reverses again, but Storm II nimbly gets out of dangers way and propels itself towards the pit release button, Matilda looking on curiously from her CPZ. The siren whirrs out, as Infusion gives chase to Storm II, the latter of the too machines having the edge in the speed department. Storm II speedily turns on the spot and drives straight towards Infusion, once again getting underneath the front Hardox wedge of the Aussie machine and slamming it into the arena side wall. The plexiglass wobbles once more, and remains in one piece. Storm II begins to use it€™s Biohazard style lifter to prop Infusion against the wall - but fails in doing so, Infusion falling off the lifter and onto the arena floor, immediately spinning its rim once again to cause damage to the bot from Ipswich. Aaron drives the wedge of Infusion underneath the side skirts of Storm II and manages to get 3 of the Vulcalon-coated wheels off the arena floor. Storm II spins its wheels madly, hoping to get enough traction on the arena floor to get it off the front wedge - the screech of rubber on the arena floor flooding the arena! Aaron carefully manoeuvres Infusion and it€™s prey towards the pit, but Storm II is gaining more and more grip on the floor, as it nearly manages to get itself off the front wedge of Infusion. The machines get nearer and nearer the pit, but with every bump and jolt Infusion has on the arena floor, Storm Ii is closer to getting off the wedge. The wheels whirr hectically, as if finally gets enough grip on the arena floor to drive off the wedge€¦ and into the pit! The puff of smoke rising from the pit signals to Aaron that after all that - he is into the Vapourbot Vengeance Grand Final!

Storm II blew that fight, didn€™t it!

INFUSION GOES THROUGH TO THE GRAND FINAL!!!
