Heat M Semi-Finals
Razer (
v Blue Sparks
Black Panther v Weapon Synergy
If you missed round 1 then you should know that the 8th seed Razer and Weapon Synergy disposed of the promising Holepunch and Black Panther sent D.V.D: The Sequel straight to the bargain bin to head through with Blue Sparks.
Heat Semi-Final 1
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome back the number #8 seed Razer and Blue Sparks!
Roboteers, standby!

SMASH!!
The question in everyone€™s minds at the beginning of this battle is will Razer make it to the heat final again, or is it curtains for the seeded machine early on here in the second round? Blue Sparks hopes for the latter as Danny spins up that hefty horizontal disc and goes on the attack, but Razer dodges the frontal attack using that nifty skid steering and gets under the side ground clearance of Blue Sparks, scooping it up on the wedge and pushing it across the arena while the crusher comes down and penetrates the left track! Danny looks on in dismay as Razer digs in, holding it in there for a few seconds before hoisting Blue Sparks high into the air and showing off its prize as the second highest seeded realie of the competition heads across the arena and hits the pit release button! However the impact knocks Blue Sparks off the crusher and Danny attempts a speedy escape. I say attempt though because with the broken track Blue Sparks merely limps around in a pathetic circle. Razer watches its prey with sadistic enjoyment before moving in and once again bringing the crusher into play, this time on the other track! Danny winces and Martijn reverses by the pit, lifting Blue Sparks up into the air as it does so. The wings stretch out proudly and Razer looks truly magnificent with Blue Sparks hanging brokenly from the crusher before Razer turns and dumps Danny€™s E-Tek powered spinning disc robot into the pit of oblivion in a puff of smoke.
CEASE!
Blue Sparks has a power cut; Razer ( strolls on to the heat final!

SMASH!!
Just like in round 1 the eye-catching split-up of Weapon Synergy happens almost instantaneously as the crazy clusterbot scatters itself to different points around the arena, Ram pressing the pit release button while Disc moves in behind Black Panther and Flipper moves in from the front. Alex should be worried but he keeps his cool and pushes forward into Flipper, slamming the axe down on top and getting the axe into the thin titanium armour! Daniel attacks with disc from behind, but the hit isn€™t powerful enough and Black Panther withdraws its axe before slamming it into Flipper again, and this time gas gushes out of the hole and into the arena, as it seems the nitrogen bottle has been hit! Seeing this Alex gets his flipper underneath Flipper and turns it over before turning its attention to Disc, who hits Black Panther head on and this time manages to flip it over! And before Alex can self-right Ram comes in from behind and pushes the upside down Black Panther into Claw, who grabs it and slams it into the full speed spinner of Disc! Black Panther and Claw are rolled away, but now the 100kg robot is back on its wheels and attacks Disc again, this time getting the axe right through the top armour and then dragging it towards the pit, but Alex is unsure whether to risk dumping it in for fear of being pushed in from behind! But it doesn€™t take him long to think of a solution, and he swings Disc around into the unsuspecting Ram and puts them both down into the chasm in a puff of smoke! Claw comes in from behind to try and pit it still, but the motors just aren€™t powerful enough and Black Panther gives yet another of the clusters a smack with the axe, and although Axe comes along to try and help its last surviving team-mate it merely dents Black Panther€™s armour! Alex delivers Claw to the pit undeterred and turns to Axe, who reverses away onto the killsaws! BZZT! It€™s thrown over and Alex slams the axe into the base armour, stopping it from getting away and then reversing side on to the pit and then dumping Axe down into that hole that has seen the elimination of so many robots this season.
CEASE!
Weapon Synergy is axed; Black Panther prowls through to the heat final!

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!
Woo... good fights
Hmmm... now this should be an interesting fight.
My shape should make me pretty safe from razer at the front, in a head on collision I suspect Id get under him rather than the other way round. In addition my nice titanium foam layer is ideal for resisting a vertical claw weapon anyway, not only is the beak more likely to get lodged in it but just the extra padding means that it really isnt likely to ge through to anything imporant. Fortunatly the big arcs at the top should protect the axe mechanism because the claw wont be able to get over it to do any damage.
More of a worry is if it gets to my back section, but hopefully with my speed that shouldnt be too much of an issue. The main thing I need to aim to do is break its srimech then flip it, or, flip it and attack the sides hoping to rupture the drive or some such.Comment

Heat M Final
Razer ( v Black Panther
To get to this stage Razer ( let Weapon Synergy deal with Holepunch, and then in round 2 pierced Blue Sparks€™ tracks and then pitted the powerful spinner.
The newcomer Black Panther was targeted in round 1 by D.V.D: The Sequel, but Alex€™s axe robot proved too strong and whacked the veteran repeatedly before pitting it, letting Blue Sparks stay in the background. In round 2 this promising robot took on the 5 20kg clusters of Weapon Synergy, confining four to the pit and flipping the Flipper after piercing the nitrogen bottle.

You really couldn€™t get two opponents that look any different. There€™s the slick silver wedge with that impressive crushing claw known as Razer, and then on the other hand you have the odd semi-UFO design of Black Panther with the dual weapons and sleek black frame. Razer may be the seeded machine, but it€™s the newcomer that gets off to a better start here with Black Panther ramming into the front of Razer and managing to get underneath the low front wedge with the linear actuated flipper, which Alex uses now to flip Razer up and over sideways! Martijn quickly tries to self-right, but Alex turns into the base armour of Razer to stop it self-righting and lands an overhead blow on the crusher, breaking off the self-righting wing not touching the ground! However the important one in this moment in time is the other, still intact wing and Razer uses that to good effect now in order to get back onto those wheels. The two-time Robot Wars World Champion quickly skids away and turns to get under the side of Black Panther, a move not foreseen by Alex Holt at the controls! Martijn powers forward now and the crusher comes down, but comes onto the very top of Black Panther where the axe is hinged, and there€™s no damage to be done there. Alex fires the axe and the bounce frees him from Razer€™s wedge and Alex turns Black Panther into the side of Razer again, but it€™s the not the side that Razer won€™t be able to self-right from, so instead of flipping the seeded machine Alex merely pounds him with the axe, forcing the crusher into the downward position and in doing so getting a series of heavy impacts on the other self-righting wing! Martijn braces himself for the worse and the wing is quickly broken off, and of course Alex wastes no time in overturning Razer with his low power flipper, leaving the number #8 seed stranded on its side!
CEASE!
Razer ( is given the chop; Black Panther prowls through to the series semi-finals!

Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged!
Sorry these next 2 fights are short, I couldnt find another good way to do them
Welcome back to Robot SMASH!! , where tonight will see the return of the number #6 seed Liar 2, who reached the quarter-finals last time around. With only three heats left it€™s looking pretty certain this tournament will be completed, so let€™s get one step closer to that ever-approaching goal that is the series semi-finals!
Eliminator 1
Created and entered by Martijn M Benschop, seeded #6, Liar 2!
This Wheely Big Cheese style invertible flipper robot with thwackbot capabilities has a full pressure rear hinged flipper on board and has proved in the past that it can send opponents sky high. However the wheels are exposed, no matter how tough they are.
In RS!!1: Sent Cyrilium 2 up, up and away with no trouble at all in the first round eliminator, and then in round 2 sent each 20kg cluster of Weapon Synergy over and out with some mighty flips. In the heat final there was a tougher match with Gabriel II, but eventually the front hinged flipper ended up in the pit and Liar 2 moved onto the finals, where it met eventual champion Wedge Devolution. It was a tough match with Liar 2 getting some flips and causing some damage with the side spikes, but it was no good and the Wedge continued to the series semi-finals.
Created and entered by Danny Bailey, Cat with Wheels!
A very simple wedge with a front hinged flipper design, this robot is painted the colour of a Tabby cat€™s coat. The actual name is if Cats Had Wheels We Could Have Cat Races, but this shortened name is far easier! Wedge Devolution proved last season simple can be good, can Cat with Wheels repeat that success?
In RS!!1: Didn€™t enter
Created and entered by Paul Cuomo, MeCannibal 2.0!
This extremely powerful shuffling ring spinner has a skirt around the robot that raises when the ring spins. There is plenty of shock proofing, but the power of the ring may cause MeCannibal control issues like last season.
In RS!!1: Life and Death died when they came face to face with MeCannibal 2.0 in the eliminator, but in the second round it was met by Seung Mina IV, who flipped it around before putting it in the pit.
Roboteers, standby!

SMASH!!
This match gets off to a very quick start, with the ring shaped MeCannibal very quickly becoming a blur as the 30kg spinning ring gets going, quickly becoming a blur as it shuffles across the arena to meet Liar 2! Paul tries to get to the wheels, but Martijn has better manoeuvrability and slides the low front of the flipper under MeCannibal without getting touched by the spinning blades! With a flick of the flipper MeCannibal is tossed into the air and comes down onto its side, ripping out chunks of the arena floor before crashing back down onto the arena floor! Liar 2 heads in again quickly before the ring gets spinning again and pushes in underneath MeCannibal 2.0, this time getting right in underneath and flipping MeCannibal sky high, and Danny (who once again hasn€™t done anything, because the other robot has taken care of things!) watches with awe as MeCannibal crashes down onto the camera tracks, leaving the arena and the competition earlier than last season, sadly for Paul.
CEASE!
A very fast match, and MeCannibal 2.0 is spun out; Liar 2 (6) and Cat with Wheels go through!
Eliminator 2
Created and entered by Steven McGregor, Turbo Tails!
This box wedge with a front hinged flipper and a rear spinning blade is well-known for being a classic video game character alongside Sonic the Hedgehog. It€™s weapons may be nice, but the srimech won€™t work properly a lot of the time and it is covered in fur!
In RS!!1: Became locked in a deadly embrace with Sheer Heart Attack 2 in round 1, and the judge€™s gave it to the Crash and Burn Tournament 2 champion.
Created and entered by Joey McConnell, Phoenix Down!
A parallelogram with invertible tracks powered by LEM-200s, this powerful rammer has interchangeable weapon bays with the standard setup being a claw at the front and a saw at the back. However the inverted wedge won€™t help matters, and like its predecessor it could really go down.
In RS!!1: (as Fire and Ice) Met up with Shadow Zone Returns in the first round and was tossed around the arena and out of the competition.
Built by WJ, Dijkstra (or however it€™s spelt, sorry!), entered by Andrew Jackson, Gravity!
This RW7 competitor reached round 2 of the semi-finals back then, throwing Dantomkia out of the arena in a record time of 6 seconds in the round before. The powerful rear hinged flipper also flipped Growler with ease in the House Robot Rebellion.
In RS!!1: Almost flipped Killotine: EVO out of the arena in round 1, but was clamped and pitted.

SMASH!!
Three veterans who all went out in the first round of the first season, and only one of them has to repeat that horror. However that horror comes back to Phoenix Down pretty quickly in the quickest match of Robot SMASH!! so far as the Dutch flipper Gravity gets under the inverted wedge (ignoring the sparks from the saw) and pushes Joey towards the wall in 3 seconds and flips it out in 4, with cease being called in 5!
CEASE!
It doesn€™t much quicker than that, Phoenix Down goes up and then down; Gravity and Turbo Tails fly on through!
