They€™re off straight away and the whir of Still Hurting€™s deadly blade immediately fills the arena as Joey spins up the weapon. However, Axeon 4.0 locks on to Still Hurting and makes a beeline for it across the arena, managing to dodge the disc unlike in the last round and bring its axe over twice quickly onto the top of the Nightmare-esque robot. Joey isn€™t going to sit there and take it though and Still Hurting spins sideways, slamming his disc into the titanium side armour of Axeon, flinging it up and over! The axe is fired, but is able to pull back on the floor and right the robot.

Meanwhile Spring-BOK! has managed to slip under the rear of Back to Rock III while Martijn was on the attack elsewhere and Chris fires the pneumatic flipper to send BTR in a forwards somersault, landing on its back. The electric arm quickly rights it and Martijn pushes back on the attack, the circular saw shredding some orange fur as his hulking machine gets underneath the comedy entry and pushes it up against the arena side wall, lifting it up and pushing it over just as the flipper resets. Spring-BOK! tries to self-right, but BTRIII holds it pinned against the wall.

Mobile Failure sees this as a perfect opportunity to attack and drives in behind BTR, slamming the axe down onto the titanium armour and leaving a noticeable dent in the top of Martijn€™s machine. Tracy withdraws the axe for another attack, but Martijn reverses into the purple robot and pushes it back slightly before turning and escaping. This leaves Spring-BOK! to perform a kind of pointless pirhouette before landing upside down again, allowing for Tracy to come in and hit with a huge strike. A dent is made in the 8mm titanium armour but no major damage.

On the other side of the arena the battle hasn€™t stood still and Still Hurting has knocked into Axeon 4.0 repeatedly with the spinning disc, causing some small gashes in the side armour and flicking it up into the air slightly but doing no fatal damage. Andy finally manages to escape after something like the sixth consecutive attack and manages to breach one of the wheel guards. He brings his axe down, hitting nothing but floor as Still Hurting runs its wheel over the rest of Axeon and turns around to slam its disc into the back, flicking the axe robot up and over again and this time leaving a sizeable gash in the monocoque! Andy is far from beaten though and self-rights, perhaps deciding to end this fight for now and escapes across the arena, charging into Spring-BOK! mid self-right and knocking it down onto its wheels. He brings his axe weapon over several times, denting the titanium armour rather severely before Chris pushes under his side and flips him over yet again. Axeon is still able to self-right though and whacks Spring-BOK! once again with the axe before it escapes across the arena and drives underneath the side of the unsuspecting Still Hurting, whom it flips up into the air and over with one flick of the flipper!

Joey€™s machine is quick to self-right though and swiftly spins back up before Team Picus chase the smaller machine half the length of the arena and catch the rear flipper, tearing it clean off its hinges with a hit from the spinning disc! This leaves Spring-BOK! open to attack from the rear, and Back to Rock III attempts to capitalise on this, driving in on the attack, but Chris turns to meet the onslaught. Unfortunately for him the ranked machine gets underneath anyway and Martijn slowly lifts Spring-BOK! up as he rams it back across the arena and into the spike strip, flipping it over as they get there.

This prompts another circus-style flip in the air from Spring-BOK! who lands the right way up and launches an attack on Mobile Failure, driving underneath the side of the machine and flicking it over while Still Hurting and Axeon 4.0 clash once more, Andy raining down some dangerous blows on the side of the Nightmare-esque machine. Mobile Failure however isn€™t sitting still after that attack from Spring-BOK!, bringing its own weapon over to slam onto the lid of its opponent, causing it to jar and stop moving rather abruptly. It€™s only temporary however and Spring-BOK! drives away, but is intercepted by a relentless Back to Rock III and slammed into the side wall, lifted up, up.... and over the rails!

CEASE!

Spring-BOK! crashes onto the camera tracks and out of the competition!
