Apologies for the delay, folks. Chalk it up to procrastination and waiting a bit too long for tactics.

Now let's find our final Featherweight Finalist!

FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
ELIMINATORS
BATTLE 4
DEADLY LAMPSHAPE Vs M.B.X. Vs NEOWEDGE Vs WEREWOLF

FROM MERTHYR TYDFIL, IN WALES, DEADLY LAMPSHADE!
(Represented by Daniel Stickler)
A lampshade that is deadly. A full-body spinner in the style of Typhoon, with titanium blades and speeds of 3000rpm. It's nimble too with four wheels producing 10mph, but it can't self-right.

FROM KILKIVAN, IN AUSTRALIA, M.B.X.!
(Represented by Aaron Knight)
A teeny-weeny translational spinner. It's brick-shaped, invertible and has only one wheel. Top spinning speeds of 1500rpm make it very deadly, but that lone wheel could fall victim to axes and crushers.

FROM HOLLAND, NEOWEDGE!
(Represented by Alex McWilliams)
A powerful paralellogram with plenty of push. It's a steady machine with an invertible frame, four-wheel drive and speeds of 10mph. The 8mm Lexan armour won't be too hard to damage however...

FROM CARDIFF, IN WALES, WEREWOLF!
(Represented by Liam Eliot)
A low box with a Biohazard-esque lifting arm and interchangeable front panels including wedges and scoops. It's six-wheel drive and invertible but may be too fast for its own good with top speeds of 22mph.

For this fight, Werewolf will use the 5mm Hardox front panel.

Roboteers, stand by...
3...2...1...
ACTIVATE!

Werewolf is the first into action as Deadly Lampshade and M.B.X. begin spinning up! Liam's machine collides head-on with Neowedge, leading to a brief stalemate as they push against each other! The duo back off and are just about to strike a second time when the two spinners arrive on the scene! Werewolf manages to narrowly dodge M.B.X. in time but Neowedge can't get out of Deadly Lampshade's way in time!
CRRRASH!
Neowedge is sent spinning as Dan quickly retreats to rev up again! Werewolf spies an oppertunity and crashes into the Lampshade, Liam clearly hoping to knock it out with a single flip! The Lampshade proves too manoueverable, however, as Dan deftly dodges the rammer's attack! Werewolf tries again, but the Lampshade once more dances out of harm's way! This weird waltz continues until Neowedge breaks up the unhappy couple, followed closely by M.B.X.! Werewolf bumps Neowedge out of the way and is about to give it a proper walloping when the two spinners sidle up alongside in a pincer movement...
CRRRASH!
M.B.X. sends Neowedge reeling, while Deadly Lampshade does likewise to Werewolf! The rammers quickly recover, though both are already bearing some nasty battle scars! M.B.X. narrowly misses a charge at Werewolf, leading the two into a grisly game of cat-and-mouse...or is that cat-and-wolf? Deadly Lampshade meanwhile has retreated to the top of the warzone to start spinning up again! Neowedge takes its chances and thunders into the revving Typhoonalike! The blades jerk to a halt, allowing Neowedge to scrape underneath and shove the Lampshade across the arena into the Void Activation Button! The siren blares as Alex nudges the Lampshade, trying hard to tip it over! Lucky for him Werewolf has arrived to give him a hand...and brought M.B.X. with it! Werewolf charges the two robots, separating them, and chases down the Lampshade as it makes its escape! Neowedge zips out of the corner and tries to avoid another attack from M.B.X., but too late...
CRRRASH!
The brick flings Neowedge away! The Lexan shell isn't looking too good now, but then Deadly Lampshade isn't looking much better! The Welsh entry is trying to fend Werewolf off with its spinning blades, but the shell hasn't reached full speed yet! Werewolf charges underneath the Lampshade and activates its flipper arm! The arm folds out...and the Lampshade falls over! Dan desperately tries to get the shell going again in the hope that he can somehow right himself; but that hope appears to be in vain as the Grim Beeper glides towards his machine...
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!
Werewolf retreats and turns its attention towards M.B.X. and Neowedge over by the eastern wall! Neowedge is starting to look rather weary at this point, but Alex is soldering on, narrowly missing a couple of side-on assaults from M.B.X.! He isn't able to miss Werewolf, however, who crashes into Neowedge's front, knocking both robots aside! Neowedge suddenly backs away as M.B.X. swoops in...
CRRRASH!
Werewolf spins like a top as Aaron backs off to regain his speed! Alex spies an oppertunity for vengeance and sends Neowedge rocketing into Werewolf's side! The front wedge easily slips under the 7mm ground clearance and now Werewolf is in serious trouble as Neowedge pushes it towards the Void! Liam quickly breaks free, thanks to some frantic fiddling of control sticks, only to find itself in the path of M.B.X. again!
CRRRASH!
Werewolf is once more sent spinning, with Neowedge too getting clipped by the whirling brick! Both are quickly back in action however as Werewolf now attempts to dump Neowedge into the Void! Now it's Neowedge's turn to wriggle free, thanks in part to a little flick of Werewolf's arm! Both rammers are now dancing dangerously by the edge of the purpley pit! To make matters worse, here comes M.B.X. at near-full speed!
CRRRASH!
Neowedge is flung into the eastern wall...while Werewolf is sent spinning down into the Void!
CRRRASH!
Another blow on Neowedge by M.B.X.! At this point the rammer is starting to look tired; the Lexan armour has been battered and bashed, and it's beginning to look a little slower than before! The punishment's not over yet, though, as M.B.X. comes back in and bumps into Neowedge's side! The spinner wasn't at full-speed, but it was enough to bounce Neowedge off the barrier! Alex guides Neowedge back into the heart of the warzone, the rammer showing definate signs of sluggishness! M.B.X. swoops in again for a side-assault! Neowedge tries to block, but...
CRRRASH!
The Lexan armour takes another pounding! I swear I can see a few whisps of smoke drifting from Neowedge now! Alex certainly appears rather hot and bothered as M.B.X. attacks his rammer's sides once more...
CRRRASH!
The sparks fly as Neowedge is knocked away from the impact! Alex tries to get his machine back in the game, but finds that it can now only trundle around in a circle! Those last few blows must have rattled the drive motors something fierce! All Neowedge can do is judder back and forth in a clumsy arc as M.B.X. comes in for the kill...
CRRRASH!
The brick sends the rammer spinning once again! Neowedge is still moving, but it isn't going anywhere fast! Aaron finally decides to relent and pulls M.B.X. back as the Grim Beeper swoops onto the scene...
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!

CEASE!

Deadly Lampshade has burnt out, Werewolf has been neutered and Neowedge has nothing new left to offer!
M.B.X. GOES THROUGH TO THE FEATEHERWEIGHT FINAL!

Congratulations to Aaron, commiserations to the others. Apologies again for the long wait; with luck I'll be able to get through Round 2 in the next few days.
