The Crash & Burn Tournament 2
One heat is finished. The champion has won it and is looking to defend his title. Who will join him? Someone in one of our next two battles, of course.
Orka MK4 (3) vs. Liar vs. Voltronic
Orka MK4 (3) is the bronze-medal winner of the last tournament. But Christopher Mason isnt happy enough with bronze! Orka will compete again, with his extremely powerful scoop-and-claw combo, and dorsal fin self-righter. Also has 7mm titanium and a very low ground clearance at 2mm (thats without the scoop). Lets see if he can pay Salamander III back!
C&BT1: Defeated La Machine, Metal Sonic Spin Dash and Wedga Revo 2.0 in Heat C, and Enter the May Tracks in the Grand Final Eliminators before meeting his defeat at the claw of Clawdius Decimus Murderous in the Semis. He did triumph over Aneurysm afterwards and took 3rd place.
Liar is an awkward vapourbot, but that doesnt mean Martijn Benschop made him to be ineffective! Hes very effective, with a WBC-style flipper and 18mph speed. However, the thing that does make Liar a little strange are the little spiked wedges at the sides. the flipper extends to these side wedges and can flip opponents who land on them! However, hes not a good pusher, and has a ground clearance of 7mm.
C&BT1: Did not enter.
Voltronic is a real robot entered by Alexander MacWillaims but is built by Stephen Felk. Its basically a wide wedge with a lifting arm. Unfortunately, that arm doesnt self-right it, so Voltronic better be careful of the flipperbots in this match-up. On another note, he has a low ground clearance and decent armour. This is a very successful (but not as popular) robot.
C&BT1: Did not enter.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Voltronic, Liar
Booth 2: Orka MK4
Why, how delightful...NOT! Entering for the house bots are Asterix Heroicus and Double Whamlet.

ACTIVATE!
So it begins again! Voltronic and Liar have agreed to gang up on the big bad Orka! But the 3rd seed doesnt take kindly to this treacherous team-up and barrels into the nearest bot right off the bat: Voltronic! The scoop penetrates the wedge, but Liar shoots in and, sliding under the 2mm ground clearance of Orka, sends him for a loop! FLIP! Voltronic is also tipped up but thankfully lands back onto his wheels. Chris hits the srimech button and the fin tips Orka back onto its own wheels but is rammed by Liar again, and FLIP! again! Orka pulls a 360 and Chris can almost feel the ground bump beneath Orka as he comes down on it. Its far away from Liar, but Liar himself is coming in again for another flip! Orka jets away, and Voltronic is on the chase as well! Orka turns around quite suddenly, and Voltronic bashes into him...and slides under the scoop! The arm raises! Orka is snagged! Liar gets around to the other side of Orka while Voltronics arm rotates degree by degree. Chris is hammering all the buttons to try and escape. The scoop lifts, the claw grips, and the wheels grind, but nothings happening! Liar has come at the rear, and finally...
TOSS!
The floor flipper would be envious of that catapult! Orka is hurled across the arena by the powerful flipper of Liar and crashes against the arena wall...AT THE OTHER END OF THE ARENA!!! A little tumble, and Orka is on its wheels, but badly shaken! Chris mops his brow, but he cant relax yet! Voltronic is already in his face! Orka turns away to get at the side but Voltronic again slides the wedge under the corner of the scoop. However Voltronic didnt count on Orka driving off before the arm could come up. Orka tumbles off, and Voltronic hits the wall. Orka spins around, and finds Voltronics side! The scoop lifts! FLIP! Voltronic is inverted! This looks bad for Alex, but Martijn pops in with a friendly hello with Liar sidling in and FLIP!s Voltronic. Voltronic flies into the air and come down hard on a croner of the wedge, and crashes down, right-side-up. Orka turns and drives at Liar in wrath, but Martijn, thinking fast, turns Liar around and around, and now Liar is a spinning dervish! Orka halts, apprehensive. He doesnt want to get tossed again, and so sets his sights on Voltronic again, whos just opened the pit. Martijn ceases with the spinning of his bot, but isnt fast enough to help Alex. Making a beeline for the realie, Orka collides with him, but Voltronic speeds away from danger. Orka follows his prey across the arena, but out of nowhere Liar slams against Orkas side, too late though to flip as Orkas rear escapes the flipping zone. Orka spins at that and finding Liars side lifts it up! FLIP! Liar is ivnerted now, and Orka shoves him into the wall! Voltronic does an about-face and heads for Orkas rear but Orka spins around. Voltronic hits the scoop with astounding force but reverses away quickly. Orka turns his attention back to Liar...whos just righted himself! Orka gets under the side quickly and lifts...and clamps! And Voltronic attempts to rush at Orka again! Orka turns too late, and the wedge gets under! The arm pops, and Orka is lifted, and tipped onto his side! Chris is surprised by this, and maybe because he is, hes released Liar, who topples onto his back and rights himself. Orka tries to do the like but is held back by Voltronics upraised lifting arm against his underbelly. And now Voltronics got him against the wall! Liar is in the house now, and Voltronic backs away to give him some berth. Orka finally rights himself...right onto Liars wedge! FLIP! Orka is flung over the wall, and what a disappointing end for the 3rd seed!
CEASE!
Orka gets harpooned right in the heart and pride.
Liar and Voltronic advance to Round 2!
