SMASH!!

All six machines get off the mark, crashing together in the centre of the arena as the 6 deadliest weapons in the series come into play, the axe of Tax Cutter immediately slicing through the 5mm titanium top armour of Sekhmet, but Joey powers forwards and digs in underneath the front of Tax Cutter with the forks, lifting Kody€™s heavy machine into the air and gunning the lynch motors in order to speed across the arena and slam Tax Cutter into the arena wall! CRASH! Both robots take damage from the blow, and now Tax Cutter retracts its axe, allowing Joey to turn in underneath and lift Tax Cutter up again, this time going on another all out slam and ramming Kody into the wall again, knocking Tax Cutter up into the air for it to come down on its back! And although Kody self-rights incomes Daniel Stickler at the controls of his 145kg beasty Cause and Effect, reversing in underneath the side of Tax Cutter and firing the flipper, which has enough power to lift a tonne, never mind the 150 odd kilos of Tax Cutter, which soars over the fence and lands outside of the arena, beaten and on the camera tracks! With one superheavyweight down the others become more wary of one another, with no one attacking for a few moments before Toro breaks the silence, charging into the side of Atomic Wedgie and ramming Chris across the arena, firing the large flipping arm to launch the wedge shaped machine high into the air for it too to land on the camera tracks! With two robots flipped out in a very short space of time Steven and Joey have become pretty wary of Daniel and Paul, but that doesn€™t stop Joey attacking the ex-Battlebots superheavyweight champion Toro, dodging the front flipper and getting the forks in underneath the ground clearance to the left of it, lifting Paul off the ground and ramming him backwards into the pit release button! Meanwhile Cause and Effect has inverted Revolver, but has taken a blow to the side armour, receiving of course no more than a scratch to the 20mm titanium/vanadium alloy armouring. Daniel keeps the upper hand though, ramming Steven with the flat front of Cause and Effect, pushing him backwards onto the killsaws! BZZT! Revolver is turned onto its disc, which tears a chunk out if the arena floor before knocking Steven€™s powerful SHW back onto its wheels. However now Daniel has used this opportunity to turn around for the forks of the flipper to slide in underneath the side skirt of Tax Cutter, and now Daniel drives in underneath, pushing Tax Cutter against the arena wall and firing that powerful weaponry to send Revolver tumbling over the arena wall and out of the competition! That€™s three robots on the camera tracks now and this match is becoming strangely reminiscent of the middleweight melee. However now Sekhmet still has the forks underneath Toro and turns sideways to push Toro up and over as Joey progresses sideways, turning the BB4 champion onto its back! Paul springs himself back onto his wheels, but Sekhmet swings its long body around and slams into the side of Toro, who reverses straight into Sekhmet and pushes Joey onto the edge of the pit! But now Cause and Effect comes out of nowhere, slamming into the side of Toro to push not only Paul but Joey down into the abyss as well, marking the end of both this melee and this season€™s otherweight competitions.

CEASE!

Tax Cutter is cut down, Atomic Wedgie is given an atomic wedgie, Revolver is shot, Toro is put down and Sekhmet is pitted; Cause and Effect given cause to have an effect!

SMASH!!

All six flipping great robots get off the mark as ACTIVATE is called, with Wedge Devolution immediately running in underneath the side of Liar 2, the sixth seed who it defeated in last season€™s finals. Steven throws Martijn up into the air, but Liar 2 is invertible and swings around like a thwackbot to swing the side spikes in the side of Stealth, penetrating the armour and now reversing to pull the realie across the arena and onto the killsaws! BZZT! Meanwhile Wedginator Devilution has pressed the pit release button and is trying to push Ge5orce in, but Andy is eluding the front barbs of the fifteenth seed with great skill, managing to get his own super powerful flipper under the side of Wedginator and with one great colossal flip sends Wedginator Devilution flying high up into the air before it comes crashing down on the camera tracks and out of the match in a very quick time! But Andy is unprotected from behind and in comes the reigning champion, pushing in underneath the back of Ge5orce and ramming into the pit! That was very quick, and now only four robots are left in the arena! Meanwhile Die-ceratops has got underneath Liar 2 and has flipped it up into the air, only for Martijn to fall back to earth and get under Die-ceratops, flicking it over with a snort of gas from the flipper. Wedge Devolution has gotten underneath Stealth and has thrown it against the arena wall, and Joey is helpless! However Steven wants to have fun and pushes the RW3 robot who lost this season of RS!! in the first round to Macduff the 3rd and Orka MK.4, however now Wedge pushes it across the arena and flips it high into the air with more co2 being used by those two low pressure flipper rams that combine to give the flipper a lot of power! This time Stealth lands on its rear saw-blade, which shatters , knocking Stealth onto its front only for Wedge Devolution to push under the side again and this time ram it for the full length of the arena before firing the deadly weaponry and watching with glee as yet another opponent somersaults through the air and comes crashing down with a bump on the wrong side of the camera tracks! Meanwhile Die-ceratops is underneath the side of Liar 2 now and guns the four wheel drive to get to the arena wall and launch the seeded machine up into the air before it comes crashing down on the camera tracks! And all of a sudden Liar 2 is gone and out of the battle as Die-ceratops Re-invertus turns to meet the oncoming Wedge Devolution, who this time gets underneath and flips Christopher over onto his back! However Die-ceratops works just as well inverted and drives under the side of Wedge Devolution, firing its flipper to send the first seed high into the air before it comes crashing down in the centre of the arena on its back! Wedge self-rights and comes back on the attack of the WBC style machine, pushing in underneath the side and ramming it across the arena onto the killsaws! BZZT! Chris is thrown sideways in a shower of sparks, but quickly guns the four wheel drive and gets under the side skirt of Wedge Devolution, pushing the champion across the arena and then firing the flipper to send the number #1 seed up, up and away! And all of a sudden, as is the way with powerful flippers the battle is turned on its head as Wedge Devolution lands on the camera tracks and out of contention for the flipper frenzy trophy!

CEASE!

Die-ceratops Re-invertus is the winner!

SMASH!!

All 6 machines towards the centre of the arena as this battle starts, with Intriguer getting underneath Axeon 3.0, the semi-finalist who happened to be in front of it and Kody powers across the arena to slam Andy into the arena wall! Axeon is almost flipped over by the impact, but stays on its feet and brings the axe down on the top if Intriguer, not doing any real damage but putting a dent in there all the same. Now Q.E.2 comes in from behind though and gets under Axeon, flipping it up and bringing the axe down simultaneously to hold the winner of Heat H in place for it to reverse across the arena and press the pit release button! However the impact releases Axeon, who drives back across the arena and attempts to attack Axe-o-Lotl, but Chris turns and brings his own axe down too, not denting the armour of Axeon, but taking a dent in his own armour from the power of Axeon€™s weaponry! Meanwhile Q.E.2 has flipped Intriguer, who immediately self-rights only to be attacked side on by Axe to Fall, followed by Killotine: EVO and the 6 machines go in an all out push across the arena and Intriguer pushes against Q.E.2 side on as the four bot pile up slams into Axe-o-Lotl and Axeon 3.0 as the now six-bot pile up hurtles towards the arena wall and cascades against it with a huge CRASH! It look like they€™re all stuck, but Kody who is buried underneath Q.E.2 uses his axe as a front hinged flipper to send Joey off him and now Axeon wriggles free only to find itself being pushed back towards the other robots by Intriguer! And now Q.E.2 comes in, getting right in underneath Axe to Fall right by the barrier and firing the flipper to send the heat H finalist up and over the fence! But no one is happy about Q.E.2 using its axe in this flippers only fight and Intriguer runs in underneath the side ground clearance of the robot that bowed out to SOR X in the main competition, gunning those LEMs across the arena to dump Joey in the pit and out of the competition! But now in comes Axeon, attempting to push Intriguer in, but Kody reverses out of the way before driving back in to get Axeon 3.0 down there instead! Meanwhile Axe-o-Lotl is underneath Killotine: EVO€™s side skirt and has rammed Steven against the arena side wall, pinning him there while the axe is brought down again and again on the hardox bodywork! But now in comes Intriguer and breaks up the fight, getting underneath Axe-o-Lotl and pushing it onto the killsaws! BZZT! The Comengetorix-shaped robot is toppled over sideways, but self-rights only to find Killotine: EVO pushing underneath the side of it and Steven guns his own LEMs to ram Chris across the arena and dump him in the pit! He reverses and just as well because Intriguer rams him side on and brings the axe down, slightly scratching the paint work. Now though Killotine: EVO escapes and comes around on his own attack, giving Intriguer another big blow with the axe and attempting to push it across the arena, but Kody€™s wedge spikes get under the corner of the VGC03 champion€™s skirts and Kody pushes Steven across the arena before dumping the Heat O finalist in the pit and out of the competition!

CEASE!

Intriguer wins the axe attack!

But before those battles take place, let€™s take a look around the pits at those robots that maybe didn€™t do so well, and give them some very special prizes...

Best Engineered Robot:
Previous Winners-
In RS!!1: Mega Monsoon
Nominees;
Blue Sparks- Danny Bailey
Paramagnetic LOX Box- Joey McConnell
Holepunch- Leo Van Miert
Monolith- Andrew Jackson
This series of Robot SMASH!! has seen many fantastic creations that all deserve this award, but perhaps the most deserving of all is one that differs in power source in its choice for that particular weapon, it may have drawbacks, but it impressed me particularly and so Leo Van Miert€™s Holepunch is the recipient of this series€™ Best Engineered Robot award.

Best Designed Robot:
Previous Winners-
In RS!!1: Acronyms FTW
Nominees;
Symmetry- Leo Van Miert
Knyfe- Paul Cuomo
Macduff the 3rd- Kody Kunz
PyscloniZer- Andrew Jackson
Perhaps people will be disappointed here, as Leo cannot leave the stage where he received the Best Engineered Robot Award just yet, as I believe Symmetry to be a true work of art. This unique design utilises two discs, but instead of placing them side by side as was done in realies such as Shredder and Double Trouble Leo has placed one overhanging the other to negate the gyroscopic effect. Also there are two wheels on top and two on the bottom, hardly amazing, but it makes Symmetry more interesting all the while.

Most Original Entry:
Previous Winners-
In RS!!1: Weapon Synergy
Nominees;
Lethal Injection- Danny Bailey
Scaramanga II- Alex Holt
Tri-Tainium- Paul Cuomo
Sheer Heart Attack 2- Martijn M Benschop
This robot didn€™t go very far in the competition at all; on the contrary it bowed out in the opening round when its flipper rams were torn out by a fine, though unoriginal competitor. But Alex Holt€™s Scaramanga II is anything but unoriginal. Alex refers to his wedge flipper€™s smokescreen as a gimmick, but I see it as an exciting attempt to innovate in the boring world of wedge flippers. The robot is even automatically driven, possibly making it more of a €œreal€ robot than some of the realies out there!

Most Promising Newcomer:
Previous Winners-
In RS!!1: No Award
Nominees;
Mantis- Leo Van Miert
Black Panther- Alex Holt
PsycloniZer- Andrew Jackson
Orka MK.4- Christopher Mason
All of these robots new to Robot SMASH!! did incredibly well, reaching the heady heights of the semi-finals. One rising star however is still in contention for the top spot, and that robot is Andrew Jackson€™s PsycloniZer!

But now let€™s get down to business...

The second the battle starts Nidhogg guns those LEMCO-130 drive motor and powers across the arena, storming towards the impressive newcomer in a scary manner. Joey wants this version of Nidhogg to go out with a bang, as it€™s just been updated in time for next season. However this is the same old Nidhogg which was catapulted to fame by its success last season and Joey wants to try and come second again, and if he can€™t well third or fourth will have to do, but it won€™t go down without a fight and PyscloniZer will have its work cut out if it€™s to reach the final battle of this series. Nidhogg is already attacking the ring spinner before Andy has spun up though and that isn€™t a very good start, as the second seed pushes the lifting forks underneath the cage of PsycloniZer and lifts it up, but when the crusher comes down it goes through a gap in the cage, and now Andy revs up the LEM-200 to pull Nidhogg around and it€™s this movement that forces Joey to loosen his grip, allowing the Mechanical Noise champion to gun those mags and reverse across the arena to spin up those three deadly hammers before coming speeding back in on the attack, all 9 horsepower in the drive pushing PsycloniZer€™s wheels as fast as they can so that when one of the hammers connects with the side of Nidhogg like it does now the damage will be fatal! CRASH! The seeded machine is thrown away by the attack and spins around in mid-air before slamming into the arena side wall! The crowd watch in anticipation as Nidhogg begins to move again, but it has taken damage as we see a dent in the side hardox armour! The lights that looked so cool have shorted though so effectively the robot is fighting blindly, but its driver€™s eyes are still fine so no problems there. With only that superficial damage done Nidhogg attacks PsycloniZer again, this time only lifting before Andy brings the ring around slowly and pushes itself off Nidhogg to spin up again before manoeuvring around to the side and slamming into Nidhogg€™s side armour panel, bludgeoning it so hard it comes flying right off! CRASH! The panel flies across the arena and lands, full of dents, in the corner where the killsaws come up and throw it into the air in a shower of sparks! But the main worry for Joey now is that the internals are exposed to further attack and attack is what PsycloniZer does, getting that dangerous ring up to speed again and slamming into the front of Nidhogg this time, spinning it around and buckling the lifting forks! Joey tries to reverse into PsycloniZer now to halt the ring from spinning up again, but Andy backs away easily from Nidhogg, who seems to be struggling even to move, and as we look closer we see that the rear panel has been knocked loose and is dragging on the floor, causing it to have vastly impaired mobility. It now seems Andy has this one in the bag, but Nidhogg is a great survivor and is still moving, so the judges can€™t count it out. And now the ring of PsycloniZer is up to speed again and the ring spinner has its eyes on the damaged rear panel of Nidhogg, zooming in on the attack and slamming into it hard, sending another armour plate flying off across the arena to bounce over the barrier and come crashing down onto the camera tracks! Nidhogg now has workings exposed from the side and the rear, although full mobility is restored and Joey is off again, circling PsycloniZer before driving in to try and stop the ring, but some clever driving skills and a clever U-turn prevent Joey from getting that necessary ram in and before you know it PsycloniZer€™s hammers are a blur once more and the whole robot is rushing towards its tattered opponent in order to knock out the second seed once and for all, and it is this hit which does it, one, then two of the hammers digging right into the internal workings of Nidhogg and bludgeoning the components inside and Joey watches in horror as a whole wheel is slammed out of the robot, followed by the batteries for the other motor. That€™s Nidhogg down and out, and PsycloniZer powers down while Andy reverses into the pit release button and the crowd count Nidhogg out of the contest, slowly and painfully. The pit descends, and everyone knows it will be Nidhogg€™s final resting place, that is until the play-off begins! But for now it means the end of competitive fights for last season€™s runner-up, and PsycloniZer drives in behind it, the ring not spinning out of pure good sportsmanship as Andy drives in behind Nidhogg and the S28-400 magmotors go for the full speed to push Nidhogg across the arena floor, however hard it is as with only 1 wheel Nidhogg keeps wanting to turn right. But PsycloniZer sticks at it and rolls Nidhogg€™s wheel side over the chasm, and just for fun Andy lines up for the final attack, spinning up the ring and flying in on the final assault slamming into Nidhogg and surely smashing what was left of the internals as well as delivering the second seed to the pit in a puff of smoke!

CEASE!

Nidhogg (2) is PsycloniZed; PsycloniZer goes through to the Robot SMASH!! Series 2: Recharged final battle!

Both these robots have a successful history, although if you take the first season of Robot SMASH!! it€™s clear Wedge had the better run, winning the entire championship while Back to Rock III bowed out in the opening round! However vast the improvement in BTR III€™s path through this season has been Wedge Devolution wants to defend the title and this is very obvious from the beginning as the champion dodges the front lifting plates of Back to Rock III and tries to breach the side skirt, but Martijn turns to meet the champion and their ground clearances cancel each other out, and though they have the same drive motors BTR III€™s six wheel drive out-muscles the four-wheel drive of Wedge Devolution, who is pushed back across the arena and against the pit release button! The siren wails and Back to Rock III gets underneath the front of Wedge Devolution now by pushing it against the wall! The saw hits the base armour of the champion, but does little damage except for a few scratches and BTR can€™t do anything more except lift Wedge Devolution, but all of a sudden this seems to be the decisive moment as BTR lifts Wedge Devolution up onto the arena wall and it looks like the seeded robot may be falling out, but a flick of the flipper sees Steven somersault over the top of Back to Rock III and turn to get the flipper plate under the rear! Suddenly the tables are turned and Wedge Devolution fires the two flipper rams to send Back to Rock up and over the barrier! No one can quite believe it, as the fight was so quick, but it is quite clear as Back to Rock III hits the camera tracks that the champion has made the grand final once again!

CEASE!

Back to Rock III goes back to rock; Wedge Devolution (1) goes through to the final battle!
