Well, we've reached the first Heat Final, haven't we? Disco 5 has managed to overcome The Final Cut quite nicely, but the question is, can the champ take out Mornington Crescent, who's smacked down an oldbie vapourbot, Drilla Killa 7? We're going to find out now!

*in the pits*

Melissa: I'm back here with both teams, and they seem to be ready to go.
Martyn: You better believe it. I'm not losing my crown.
Melissa: And you're confident about taking down the ring spinner?
Martyn: It doesn't matter how many rings he brings to the table if I can beat 'em all, which I will.
Melissa: Ooh! Your response to that Steven?
Steve: Well, old bean, I'm not sure you can beat both of them, considering I have quite the big advantages.
Martyn: Well let's see what'll happen, then, because to me, you're going down.
Steve: Back at you, lad.
Melissa: Right, let's get to the arena!

ACTIVATE!


Now that is quite the speedy start, as both robots have taken off from their positions at lightspeed! Disco 5 is immediately chasing down Mornington Crescent with the flipper, but before the champ can strike, Mornington Crescent nips around the flipper, its manoeuvrability superior to the champion's! Realizing his mistake, Martyn reverses his machine quickly before Steve can make good on the threat, and it leaves Mornington Crescent wide open! This time, Mornington Crescent can't get out of the way in time and is collected onto the flipper...while still spinning! Martyn, not too keen on letting his opponent ride further up onto the wedge and hit the vertical, fires Disco 5's flipper, sending Mornington Crescent across the floor, and Steve's bot lands on its back several feet away. As it tries to get a sense of direction, Disco 5 crashes into it again and repeats the process; Mornington Crescent is right-side-up again, but seeing its opponent attacking again, it instantly moves forwards...which is straight into Disco 5! However, it's a lucky break for Steve, as Disco 5 is unable to fire the flipper in time as Mornington Crescent goes up the wedge thrice, and the lower spinning ring hits Disco 5's flywheel!

CRASH!!!

Stars and glory! Or, rather, sparks and unglory, as Disco 5 sends up a mess of both, the force shunting Mornington Crescent right in front of the champ, and ripe for picking! And despite the shock, the champ moves in again! Collected onto the wedge a fourth time, Steve's spinner can't do much of anything at the moment, except wait until Disco 5 is done taking it to...an empty CPZ. There goes the Crescent roll and both house robots slowly exit their own CPZs to attack Mornington Crescent...but Disco 5 won't leave the spinner alone! Up it goes again, the flipper, as it pushes Mornington Crescent onto the wall...is this it? Mornington Crescent is stacked on the wall, but wait! The upper...errr...whichever ring is now upper, is spinning! So Steve's bot still has some movement, but only in its weapon...and it isn't looking like it's helping any! The centrifical force is not enough to get Mornington Crescent off the wall, and sensing the exit of another robot, The Watcher is in da house, shunting the now-first Series Semi-Finalist aside as it begins the countdown to what should have been a much longer and exciting fight...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!

CEASE!

Mornington Crescent ends here.
Disco 5 (1) advances to the Series Semi-Finals!!
