Welcome back to The Legends Special of Robot Wars. If you joined us, you saw a tight clash that ended with Gyrobot crashing out on a judges decision, to leave S.M.I.D.S.Y. and Tomohawk go through to round 2. Let's see who'll join them.

----------
ROUND 2
----------

FROM TORQUEY IN DEVON - CONSTRICTOR
Thrown out of the arena by Tsunami in Series 7

This robot is long and low to the ground, which won't make it easy to grab. Its weapon consists of a lifting beak which can double as a clamp to squeeze the life out of its victims. It can run upside down, but it also has a srimech, but it doesn't like being flipped.

FROM DUBLIN IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND - DIOTOIR
Has competed in five wars and reached two heat finals.

It doesn't exactly look like a robot, but don't be fooled by the fur, boggle eyes and luring grin, this robot is dangerous. The smile sits upon a lifting mechanism which in the past has upset the mighty Tornado. It has predigree, is very manuverable and difficult to flip, but it's flammable, not the best at self-righting, and....what the heck IS that thing on top of it?

FROM SOUTH OCKENDON IN ESSEX - SIR CHROMALOT
Four times this machine has competed, but it has never been beyond the second round.

Made from an American truck wheel hub, Sir Chromalot certainly has 18 wheels of thunder when it comes to determination. It has a powerful flipper arm that doubles as srimech and it is also quite fast. But can it really get past the second round, or is that a perminant barrier? We'll see.

ROBOTEERS, STAND BY!!

Booth 1 - Constrictor, Diotoir
Booth 2 - Sir Chromalot
House Robots - Dead Metal, Sgt Bash

3...2...1...ACTIVATE!!
I bet Sgt Bash will be pleased to see Diotoir again. It's Sir Chromalot that makes the first move, but to whom? Well, it seems that Constrictor is making a move towards Sir Chromalot. Sir Chromalot gets underneath Constrictor and flips it over! And I mentioned right at the start of the battle that it doesn't like being flipped. It fires its flipper...and manages to throw itself back over...but now Diotoir comes in from the side and flips it over too! Constrictor lands awkwardly upside down again, and tries to drive away...no, that's not working. The flipper lifts up...no, that isn't working either. Constrictor, again, tries to drive away...but it doesn't look as though there's any power in the left hand drive! Diotoir pushes into Sir Chromalot...Oh, and Sir Chromalot retaliates by flipping Diotoir over! Oh, and one of its eyes has fallen off again!! Oh, Diotoir! Do you exist solely to please us? Who knows. But Constrictor is still struggling to get driving properly! Refbot approaches. Sir Chromalot spins in the centre of the arena..
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8! 9! 10!!
Well, he counted someone out, but who? The house robots come in...and can't seem to decide! Dead Metal thinks it was Diotoir counted out, but Sgt Bash thinks it was Constrictor. The saw blade of Dead Metal buries itself into the underbelly of Diotoir. Sgt Bash graps the lifter on Constrictor and carries it to the floor flipper. You ever seen a snake fly? You're about to....FLIP!! And there it goes. The rear panel flies off...AND NOW CONSTRICTOR is moving freely again! But is it too late?
CEASE!!

Well, after examination, it turned out that the panel on top of Constrictor had bent awkwardly after Diotoir flipped it, which lifted one wheel off the floor and prevented it from moving freely. And the judges say that Constrictor was immobilised first, so...controversial though it may be...
DIOTOIR GOES THROUGH ALONG WITH SIR CHROMALOT!

Next Time...

S.M.I.D.S.Y. vs Diotoir
Sir Chromalot vs Tomohawk
