Psyclonised got here by destroying Obliteration, and then swatting The 6isc in a judge€™s decision.
Archangel of the Abyss got here by taking turns destroying Another Night at the Bar with The 6isc, and then destroyed Sithis.
Roboteers, Stand By!
Booth 1: Psyclonised
Booth 2: AOTA
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!
Both bots spin up to speed again, and Archangel, the more aggressive and the faster to spin up, hits Psyclonised before the ring gets up to FSA!
CRASH!!!
OH!!! The ring gets a massive scratch, but Psyclonised can still win here if it spins up to FSA and crashes into Archangel, which is what they€™re going to be doing, but too late; top speed has been achieved by Archangel!
CRASH!!!!!!!!
OH!!!!! That sent Psyclonised flying into the corner where the hammers are! Oh no, the 50kg hammers come down!
WHAM! BAM!
OH!!!!! The spinning ring€¦ is not spinning at all! It€™s stopped spinning! Now Psyclonised takes another hammer blow and this time€¦ oh no€¦ the hammer is positioned RIGHT IN THE SPINNING RING!!!!
CRASH!!!!!!
AAAYYYYIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! It€™s bent! The spinning ring has been a bit bent! Now, AJ is looking a little bit annoyed. Now, the pit release has been activated, and now€¦
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOAAAHHHH!!!! Archangel comes out of nowhere and shreds into the lifeless spinning ring of Psyclonised! Now, Psyclonised has no weapon, and so... it resorts to plan B: Run away and drive into the pit!
CEASE!
Psyclonised gets psyclonised, himself.
Archangel of the Abyss goes through to the Series Semi-Finals!
All right, here are the redone fights. Welcome to Heat D of RoboBash!
From Team Varying Every Day, Flick of the Wrist!
Flick of the Wrist has a very nice pair of diamond spikes and you don€™t want to get your hands on those! *shudders* It€™s also quite nippy at 22mph, but those wheels are the Achilles€™ heel, and high speed may mean difficult driving....
From Team Bored, The May Tracks has You!
€œThe May Tracks has you€ now! The May Tracks has a flipper, and here€™s the interesting part. There are two very sharp spikes at the front, and when a robot goes over it, then it€™s game over for the tyres. However, the tracks are very vulnerable to axe/flipper combos.
From Team Dinowarrior, Y4!
Christopher Mason, the winner of Heat A, returns with another good robot, Y4! Y4 is a T-Minus shaped robot, armed with a gigantic flipper, but it might go out of control.
Roboteers, Stand by!
Booth 1: FOTW, TMTHY
Booth 2: Y4
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!
Martijn immediately moves towards Chris and FOTW smashes into the rear of Y4 with those spikes, at full speed ahead!
WHAM!
OHHH!!!! THE PAIN!! Y4€™s back armour is crumpled! Now, TMTHY comes in, and pushes Y4 towards the hammers! Now the 50kg hammers come down on Y4!
WHAM!!! BAM!!!
OHHHHH!!!!! The flipper gets totally bent out of shape! Now, TMTHY pushes Y4 towards the arena saws! BZZZT! Mmmm... Sparksy€¦ FOTW then comes out of nowhere again, and SMACKS into the rear end of Y4!
WHAM!
OHH!!! The probes crumple the armour once more! TMTHY slams into Chris once again. Chris at the control booth, looks worried now. POP! OH!!! What€™s that popping sound? The tyres get their dissection done by Frank! Lets look at it on the replay here. TMTHY gets under the rear end, and just pokes into the tyres! Y4 is in all sorts of trouble! Y4 seems to be immobile€¦ and it is! The count is on!
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦ 7€¦ 6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦ 3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ OUT!
Now, Frank gets underneath the ground clearence at the back of Y4, and yup, you guessed it.
FA-LIP!
CEASE!
Y4 gets beaten into submission.
Flick of the Wrist and The May Tracks has You go through!
From Team Chevron, Dreadnaut XP-1!
Dreadnaut is sure to strike all its opponents with dread. He€™s got a forklift powered by Electric Motors, but the forklift is no use at all, and it€™s a bit old and outdated, and it can become cannon fodder for the nasty spinners.
From Team Iron Diamond, Axes of Evil!
Axes of Evil will axe you to hell if you aren€™t quick enough to act. It€™s got the classic Terrorhurtz-style €œrack-and-pinion€ axe, but it€™s got 2cm polycarb, so those nasty spinners can tear through it very easily and there IS one in this fight€¦
From Team Britespark, Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc!
Pure Evil is going to give you no mercy at all! It€™s got a Warrior SKF-style 38kg, 2400RPM spinning flywheel capable of giving almost 300kJ per hit! It also has a kinetic-energy powered flipper as well, but it just might self-destruct. Hmm€¦
Roboteers, Stand By!
Booth 1: Dreadnaut, Axes of Evil
Booth 2: Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!
Pure Evil has started to spin away to its maximum potential. Dreadnaut begins running away. Now, Axes of Evil comes out and hits Dreadnaut with the axe!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The axe makes huge holes in that fiberglass armour! Now, Pure Evil comes out of nowhere and crashes into Dreadnaut with its flywheel!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dreadnaut is being shredded! Large amounts of fiberglass is being strewn across the arena, and Pure Evil crashes into Dreadnaut once again!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dreadnaut€™s forklift is ripped away, and it€™s completely weaponless now! Now, Axes of Evil comes out and grabs hold of Dreadnaut and it€™s dragging it RIGHT INTO PURE EVIL€™S FLYWHEEL!!!!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There€™s an extremely large crevasse in the side of Dreadnaut, exposing the mechanics, and this could be critical! Now Pure Evil comes into action and uses its flywheel on Dreadnaut again!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The flywheel disc tears the side open, and out comes a battery, and a ton of good old smoke! Now, Axes of Evil activates the pit button, and the pit descends, and now, Dreadnaut is being counted out!
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦ 7€¦ 6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦ 3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ OUT!
Pure Evil now spins to a complete stop, and just dumps the lifeless body of Dreadnaut (well, what€™s left of it) into the pit. BOOM!
CEASE!
Dreadnaut is not dreadful at all.
Axes of Evil and Pure Evil: Revenge of the Disc go through!
Flick of the Wrist got here by stabbing Y4 to death.
Axes of Evil got here by axing Dreadnaut and letting Dan trash it.

Booth 2: AOE
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!
Flick is immediately crashing into Axes of Evil and pushes it towards the hammers!
WHAM!
The polycarbonate armour is a bit crumpled, but not a lot of damage is being caused here, and Axes of Evil is withstanding the damage. Now, Axes of Evil comes into action and axes up the armour!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
OOH! That last hit was almost in the tyre! What a misuse of a great chance here! Now Flick zooms into action again, and now, Flick gets under Axes of Evil, lifts it up, and... OH! What€™s that popping sound? Oh NO! The tyres get impaled, and the tyres are popping like a balloon! Those diamond edged spikes must have got the tyres, and now, Flick is pushing the axebot into the hammers once again!
WHAM!!
The polycarbonate gets a bit more crumpled but Axes of Evil is just withstanding all that damage! Flick gets under Axes of Evil again, lifts it, and tries impale it on the side wall!
SLAM!
OHHH!!!!!! That slam sent Axes of Evil flying, and almost over the fence! Now time is running out in this battle.
10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦
Flick now sends Axes of Evil flying into the wall again and now, there is not much time left€¦
7€¦ 6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦
Flick presses the pit button€¦
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦
Flick sends Axes of Evil very near to the pit, but they escape and€¦
