ACTIVATE!

The two robots spin up and move towards one another across the arena, Psy being the quicker to run across the arena on the attack, but Corona uses that omni-drive to zig zag out of the way and drive around AJ€™s machine! PsycloniZer isn€™t falling for that though and reverses back into Corona, causing a clash of spinning weapons! Corona has the lesser traction and is flung across the arena into the barrier, while PsycloniZer is moved towards the spike strip.

However, both machines appear to be undamaged and go back on the attack, the whir of spinning weapons creating a threatening atmosphere in the arena as the two collide again, and on this occasion there is a huge clash as the 15kg hammer of PsycloniZer collides with one of Corona€™s blade head on! Unfortunately for Kody€™s robot the weight of AJ€™s hammer causes the blade of Corona€™s shell to fly off, leaving the orange FBS crippled and unbalanced.

Kody€™s far from finished though, and as the attack flung him in the direction of the pit release button he guns that omni-drive and slams into it, causing the chasm to descend. Andy looks on warily for a moment, but then spins up the ring and goes in the direction of Corona, who tries to spin up, testing the waters of the newly damaged weaponry. Corona looks nastily unbalanced though and begins to hop on one side slightly, just as Andy comes in on the attack! The two robots collide and Corona€™s underbelly is hit by the hammer of Team ???€™s entry, flipping it onto its side, causing the remaining blade to hit the steel floor with a large THWACK, sending Corona rolling up and flying against the wall like a hockey puck!

Psy didn€™t get off scot-free either though, because as the blade travelled around it came into contact with one of Psy€™s arms, bending it slightly! This leaves both robots with impaired weapons, and due to the nature of those weapons, impaired balance! Corona meanwhile has landed on its top, and is trying to use the pneumatic srimech to self-right. However, this close to the wall it flips up and back down uselessly, failing to successfully tip itself back over. Psy goes on an investigative nudge anyway, just as Corona finally finds the power to tip itself back over, as it had worked further and further away from the wall until it could successfully right.

The two spinners are now face to face, neither with a fully operational weapon. Andy gives spinning up a stab as Kody did, but the spin merely causes the hammer to knock against the floor and Psy jolts up, allowing Corona an opening to ram in underneath. The omni-drive may not have much traction, but now the sloped side of Corona is under Andy€™s robot and Kody powers forward. However, PsycloniZer€™s hammer sticks in the floor, causing it to merely flip over when Corona pushes forward, regaining its traction and also removing the hammer-to-floor problem as the bent arm now faces the ceiling.

This makes the fight a straightforward, one that the 4WD magmotor powered drive of PsycloniZer will be victorious in. The 3 A28-150s that drive Corona aren€™t the problem, but the omni-drive struggles to work against PsycloniZer€™s drive and Andy slowly but surely pushes Corona back across the arena and into the pit, where it disappears in a puff of smoke.

CEASE!

Corona [#7] bites the dust; PsycloniZer advances to the final!
