ARRTDS will annoy you and keep on ramming you if you don€™t run away; it doesn€™t stop for two weeks! It€™s a shufflebot, and it has great pushing power and an immense speed of 28 mph. It€™s also completely invertible, but being invertible means that crushers and axes can find its legs, and there is one in this fight€¦
From Team Britespark, Squishiest!
Squishiest has got a crusher which comes down with a force of 14 tons powered by a M-Mac M40 Hydraulic Actuator running at 12v! It also has a srimech, but it is slow to self-right.
From Team Zlayerz, Tira 3!
Tira 3 WAS a house robot at C&B 1 and 2, but now, it€™s a heavyweight€¦ BUT DON€™T BE FOOLED! It€™s got a lethal 25kg spinning flywheel powered by 2 LEM130s and spinning at 2200RPM, and dealing 98.5kJs! However, should it get flipped, it€™s dead.
Roboteers, Stand By!
Booth 1: ARRTDS, Squishiest
Booth 2: Tira 3
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!
Squishiest goes for ARRTDS immediately after €œactivate€ is called. Now, ARRTDS begins running away. Meanwhile, Tira gets its lethal weapon up to FSA and tries to get into the action, and Squishiest has gotten ARRTDS into its clutches and pushes it right into Tira€™s flywheel!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
OHHHH!!!! That hit sent bits of armour flying off! ARRTDS now slams into Squishiest and pushes it into the wall!
WHAM!
Now, Squishiest frees itself and goes for the pit button. Now, the pit descends, and the crowd screams their heads off for the pit. Tira now gets its disc into play, and drives the flywheel right into the rear end of ARRTDS!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHH!!!!!! The pain! I can€™t stand watching this anymore! The flywheel has shattered into the shuffling feet of ARRTDS, and now, Squishiest comes in, and drives its claw right into the armour of ARRTDS, and now, Paul is watching in horror, as Tira 3 pushes ARRTDS into the pit.
CEASE!
ARRTDS isn€™t so annoying anymore, is it?
Squishiest and Tira 3 go through!
Ah, my favourite Alex Holt vapourbot. Too bad Im going to have to destroy it.
7mm Boron Carbide, huh? Hector had that on its claws, thicker too, and it got mulched by Tira here. Also, because it has a slow srimech, I can just flip it, and then keep battering it while it self-rights. Since that crusher is so big, it should get hit if we come together head-on, and while maybe not ripping it up, it should take some internal damage. As for the body armour, it should get totalled in a few hits.
Crimson Thunder got here by thrashing the Doorstops all over the place and eventually one of them was pushed OOTA!
Squishiest took turns destroying ARRTDS with Tira 3.
Roboteers, Stand By!

3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!
Squishiest slams into Crimson Thunder and gets its crusher into play, and it makes a small hole in the armour. Crimson Thunder now gets up to full speed ahead and slams into Squishiest, and pushes it to the side wall!
WHAM!
OHH!!!! That is a nice hit there by Crimson Thunder. Now, Squishiest gets its claw into Crimson Thunder and makes another hole. It€™s not too big, though. Now, Danny is slamming into the pit release, and the pit goes down. Uh€¦ Danny, a nudge is enough. Now, Squishiest gets its crushing claw into the back of Crimson Thunder, and it makes yet another hole in the armour. Now, Squishiest lets go of Crimson Thunder and now it slams into Squishiest, and into the wall!
WHAM!
Now, Crimson Thunder is pushing Squishiest into the hammers, and the 50kg hammers come down!
WHAM!!
That bends the crusher a bit, but it€™s still okay, but now, time is running out.

Slaying Mantis VS Tira 3
Slaying Mantis took turns toying with the Door Stops with Crimson Thunder.
Tira 3 completely DESTROYED ARRTDS with help from Squishiest.
Roboteers, Stand By!
Booth 1: Slaying Mantis
Booth 2: Tira 3
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!
Tira is spinning its flywheel up to its maximum potential, and Slaying Mantis, is waiting for the perfect moment to drive its claw in, and there it goes€¦ only to get its claw slammed into the deadly flywheel of Tira!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!!!! The claw is snapped right off! Ah, man! There€™s carnage already in the war zone! Now, Tira spins away again, and hits Slaying Mantis RIGHT IN THE SIDE!!!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHH!!!!!! The flywheel flips it over, and now, the claw was ripped away, so it has no srimech left anymore! Tira is looking very good here, and Alex is looking glum now. Kody spins Tira away again, and hits Alex€™s bot right in the rear end!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! There is an extremely large crevasse in the armour, exposing the mechanics! The 7mm Boron Carbide is shredded to bits! Now, Tira 3€¦
CRASH!!!!!!
SMASHES THE PIT BUTTON!! Now, how many times do you need to be reminded THAT YOU ONLY NEED TO NUDGE IT, NOT SMASH IT?! Anyway, Slaying Mantis is immobile, and now Tira comes in for a final hit in the rear end!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!!! Innards Ahoy! The mechanics are strewn across the arena, and now, Tira just pushes it into the pit.
CEASE!
That mantis better start saying its prayers.
Tira 3 goes through to the Heat E Final!
Tira has beaten a bot with Hardox armour before (Wedga), and since Crimson Thunder doesnt have a lifting/flipping device, it cant effectively flip Tira. Just keep hammering the hell out of it till it dies.
Man, I am going to hurry up with this heat! Let€™s go with the heat final!
Crimson Thunder VS Tira 3
Roboteers, Stand By!
Booth 1: Crimson Thunder
Booth 2: Tira 3
3€¦ 2€¦ 1€¦ ACTIVATE!
Tira 3 is already spinning away to its maximum speed, and it€™s waiting for Crimson Thunder to come into its parlor. Now, Crimson Thunder charges at Tira 3, and€¦ guess what happens. :wink:
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Tira 3€™s flywheel is shredding through the armour of Crimson Thunder and Crimson Thunder is flying across the arena! Now Tira gets the spinning flywheel to spin up again, and hits Crimson Thunder with it!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The top lid is ripped clean off of Crimson Thunder and now€¦ hang on a minute, is he still mobile? Uh€¦ Crimson Thunder, don€™t you know that a 25kg flywheel is about to hit you?
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH!!!!! That flywheel is at it again! The flywheel is really cranking up the carnage level here! Now, Kody is laughing at the sight of Danny being torn to bits! Now, getting the flywheel to spin again, Kody drives it right into Crimson Thunder€™s rear end!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That sent Danny€™s robot flying into the pit release! Now the pit goes down, but I have never seen Danny move after that first onslaught that Kody gave to him€¦ and Danny frantically works the controls but nothing€™s working, and he shakes his head. Now, Danny is watching in horror, as Kody dumps the beaten machine into the pit. BOOM!
CEASE!
Crimson Thunder€™s power dies out.
Tira 3 goes through to the series semi-finals!
