Round of 16
Fight 2
Sir Spinalot vs Wedge Devolution
Sir Spinalot: Andre€™s first and only vapour up to date. It€™s a 3000 rpm bar spinner that gives 360 degrees of protection and is powered by magamotors (magamotors?). It has a self righting bar to stay safe from all those flippers seen in this tournament.
Wedge Devolution: Wedge Devo is the 4th vapour to be introduced in this tournament, and its only the 1st basic wedge flipper (courtesy of Steve)! The 1st of many to come though, this back to basics machine is a force to be reckoned with.

1€¦
ACTIVATE!
Steven McGregor has that typical €œno time to waste€Â-look on his face (whatever that look is) and throws Wedge Devolution into combat. Showing off the power- AND speed-advantage he has, Wedge rushes straight towards its opponent. Andre however needs time for his weapon to get up to speed and throws Sir Spinalot in reverse. The titanium bar isn€™t the heaviest of weapons and it is powered by not 1 but 2 magAmotors, (which are slightly more powerful than Magmotors, mind you (sorry Andre, I know you meant Magmotors, but I couldn€™t resist)), so the spin up time isn€™t that horrible. Enter Wedge Devo€¦
CLANG!
OOF€¦ There€™s some good news and bad news for Andre here. The good new is: he has hit Wedge€™s wedge () with full power. The bad news: Wedge Devolution can handle it. The blow is deflected entirely due to a combination of Wedge€™s shape and its armour. Sir Spinalot€™s bar slowed down significantly on impact and Steve immediately makes the best of it. Wedge Devolution gets underneath and fl€¦ fl€¦
FLIPS!
The circular vapour hits the air and rolls on its side€¦ and topples on its back! Wedge comes driving in, but there€™s no denying the fact that Sir Spinalot has got one good srimech, and the spinner ends up back on its wheels again! The marching in Wedge Devolution misses Spinalot because of this, and the good Sir now drives away to buy its weapon some time to spin up again. Kinder opponents might have given Andre the time to do this, but Steven means business today ladies and gentlemen! The MN1 grand finalist heads for Sir Spinalot again, who€™s speeding up nicely I must say€¦
NUDGE!
That€™s right, the two machines nudge each other! The bar hits Wedge€™s front-corner. On impact, Sir Spinalot is swept back slightly and the spinners gets stuck in a Mauler-like dance! Wedge Devo however, this time, hasn€™t come out all that unharmed. The skirt€™s knocked upwards and seems to be stuck in this position! €œIt€™s only superficial€Â, I hear you say dear reader, and I have to agree on that. Sir Spinalot however is still stuck tolling like a madman, and Wedge Devo decides to give it one more nudge. The wedgebot easily gets under Spinalot and activates its flipper!
FLIP!
How€™s that?! Sir Spinalot moves into the air and lands on its back€¦ on top of the wall!? No, wait, it topples of the wall, and OOTA! That€™s what happens when you make your walls too low, sorry Andre. The judges start their watches, Andre has 30 seconds to get out this OOTA-position. He starts off activating its srimech bar€¦ Unlucky for Andre, this levers his robot even further away from the borders of the arena€¦ ouch. In the meantime, Steven drove Wedge to the arena wall, to meet up with Sir Spinalot in case it manages to get back in. Sir Spinalot eagerly drives towards the wall€¦

Round of 16
Fight 3
Dennis The Menace vs Achilles
Dennis The Menace: Daniel€™s back! In this tourney he entered a robot that flips, but not by the usual means. Dennis The Menace is a drumbot, with a nifty gearbox to get its weapon to lethal speeds more easily.
Achilles: Alex€™ most successful machine these days is just back from an upgrade. This box-shaped flipper still has 4 Mags going for it as well as one hell of a pneumatic arm, and look at that armour!
3€¦

1€¦
ACTIVATE!
And today€™s stars are off! Achilles has the magnificent acceleration and uses it to box-rush the drum of Dennis, or so it intends. The Greek warrior is unlucky as The Menace swerves away, the drum pointed at Achilles while doing so. Achilles is still on a rushing strike when Dennis tries to get around it€¦
CRASH!
Achilles tried to reach the side, but Dennis€™ sudden manoeuvre of getting around Achilles resulted in a head-to-head collision between the two. And as Dennis€™ weapon works directly after impact (unlike Achilles€™ flipper, which has to be actively fired by its driver), The Menace clearly comes out on top in this collision! Achilles swings backwards but Alex sees his recently toughened front can stand up against such impact. Needless to say though€¦ Dennis weapon isn€™t up to full speed yet! The drum slows down a tad and Achilles quickly recovers, and the two AGAIN try to get around each other€™s side! The duo ends up in an odd dance around each other where Achilles superior acceleration seems to break the deadlock, the machine succeeds in getting its titanium flipper extension shoved against Dennis€™ side! Dennis is turning around very fast to bring in the drum, but Alex wastes no time at all!
FLIP!
Into the air, and don€™t forget folks, in this arena, every flip from every flipper as strong as Achilles can be lethal! Dennis The Menace however comes down safely on its wheels, and inverted, but Danny couldn€™t care less, as that€™s where invertible machines are for. Achilles drives in, but its 2 wheel driven nemesis turns around like crazy and this time DOES get to Achilles side! This spells bad luck for Alex!
CRASH!
WHAT A HIT! Achilles is knocked up and over on impact! And not only that, it also has its 5 mm titanium side crumbled and dented beyond recognition! Daniel€™s smiling while Alex starts selfrighting. The T-bar on Achilles€™ flipper does exactly what its made for€¦ it selfrights Achilles without wasting any CO2. Unlucky for Alex, he can€™t be proud of his fancy srimech for too long as Dennis is still on his tail. Achilles speeds away from Dennis to escape from its pressure, but Daniel doesn€™t give in. With Achilles nearly trapped between Dennis and the wall, the vapour turns around to face the drumbot with its flipper€¦
CHRASH!
Dennis didn€™t slow down a bit and collides with Achilles with all its might! On impact Alex activated his flipper and throws Dennis away! Achilles€™ Hardox€™ flipper seemingly survived the impact alright, but Achilles€™ body is swung into the air€¦ AND OOTA! Dennis lays inverted within the arena, whereas Achilles now is inverted out of the arena. The judges grab their watches, but Alex has a plan. Achilles€™ rear faces the arena wall, and instead of only T-shaped srimech, Alex activates both the T-bar AND the pneumatic flipper! The combined power of these elements levers Achilles BACK INTO THE ARENA! Alex counts his lucky stars and lives to fight another day, but the unlucky Daniel has been waiting for him. Back on the attack again€¦ Dennis welcomes Achilles back by charging straight in. Achilles shows off some nice agility and gets around Dennis€™ side. Alex€™ rams his titanium plate underneath Dennis and takes it to the walls! Dennis attempts to turn around, but Alex tries his luck and fires!
FLIP!
AND NOW DENNIS IS OOTA! That€™s 2 OOTA€™s in 1 match, and now its Danny€™s turn to show wetter or not he can recover from one. Daniel smiles carefully, indicating he has something in store. Daniel pushes a mysterious red button on his controller, and the drum starts to change direction! A little addition by Danny to make sure Dennis can run inverted now comes in damn handy to save it from OOTAness! Dennis The Menace now takes some distance from the wall to give the drum some time to spin up€¦

It€™s been 20 seconds, the judges start counting..

Danny tries his luck and heads straight for the wall, his drum spinning downwards!
8€¦
Dennis hits the wall, and the machine is levered back in! The invertible box swerves through the air like a stunt motor coming off a ramp! Achilles heads towards Dennis The Menace, it drum still spinning downwards. Daniel realises the weapon isn€™t of much uses this way and quickly changes direction again€¦
CLANG!
Achilles rams Dennis The Menace while its weapon is still in the process of slowing down€¦ Achilles caught it side and heads for the arena wall€¦ the one with the pit behind it to be more accurate! One of Dennis€™ wheels has a weak grip on the ground and the machine tries to drive away€¦
FLIP!
Over the wall€¦ and INTO the pit! Dennis lays helplessly in the pit after a TENSE match, and now there€™s nothing Daniel can do, everyone seems to agree on that, including the judges.
