Spin Dash Unleashed and its tracked 110kg opponent move off out of the starting squares fairly quickly as this match gets underway, with Sheer Heart Attack 2 spinning up the drum to top speed courtesy of those magmotors powering it and the lynch motors in the drives of both machines power up and cause the two combatants to race towards each other. Both weapons are spun up as the two meet head on, but Sheer Heart Attack 2 gains advantage with the drum and flips Spin Dash up into the air, it teeters for a moment on its rear side before falling onto its back, inverted. This means that sadly for Steven the saw is virtually useless, and Martijn has gained the upper hand very early on here and now turning around to use the rear wedges, getting under the front of Spin Dash Unleashed, who€™s skirts now hang limply at the sides and rear and Martijn pushes the blue Scottish machine across the arena and into the spike strip, pinning him there for a few moments before driving forwards and freeing him. Spin Dash drives around and attacks Sheer Heart Attack 2€™s side, pushing the heavier robot onto the arena spinner, but it has little effect and Sheer Heart Attack 2 is thrown just a short way across the arena as opposed to some other robots earlier in the tournament that have been launched into orbit by the powerful disc. Sheer Heart Attack 2 goes quickly back on the attack now though and hits the front of Spin Dash with the drum, slightly dislodging the front panel! Steven reverses away, but Martijn follows up the attack and rams in again, hitting the front of Spin Dash Unleashed for a second time and this time the whole front 4mm hardox panel is torn off, flying high into the air and bouncing along the arena floor before it comes to rest on the killsaws. It is thrown into the air in a cascade of sparks, landing back on the arena floor in a crumpled pile of debris. Spin Dash is really feeling the pain now as Martijn follows up attack after attack with the powerful spinning drum, ripping out cables and what-knot from the inside of Spin Dash as well as flipping it over and over, now flipping onto its normal position and tearing off a side skirt! Spin Dash€™s saw-blade has topped completely, as it seems the connection from the magmotor that powers to the weapon itself has been severed by one of Sheer Heart Attack 2€™s attacks and now Steven is left weaponless, and now we see that Spin Dash can only move in circles, clearly indicating that Sheer Heart Attack 2 has also ripped out a connection from the lynch motor to the batteries, and with 50% of the drive eliminated Steven€™s Scottish battering ram is down and out!
10, 9,8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
The referees whistle sounds to signal that Spin Dash Unleashed is immobilised, and Sheer Heart Attack 2 moves onto the final!
