Series 7 had commercial breaks, yes. But they were in specific places, set in stone.

If you go on YouTube and search for some of the fights, youll see them as they aired on TechTV (American). THEY had advert breaks all over the place. Search for the 2nd annihilator of Extreme 1 (with Panic Attack and Disco Inferno) and youll get the idea.

Daniel Stickler wishes to make the following announcement:

Due to an unexpected Greek holiday, he is suffering from a lack of internet access, and so this tourney will be delayed until next Monday when he gets back.

That is all.

Awesome, almost my heat now as well, for which I have new tactics

If I remember rightly X-Terminator could only self-right if it landed on its side, so Ill try and flip it so that its on its back. If I cant get rid of him that way then Ill go for the OOTA, and if he gets a dangerous hit with the disc Ill abandon that plan and just get rid of Diablos and push Tsunami into X-Terminator

And I think Infusion will destroy Lightning in the next bout, and the heat E winner will be Tornado or Axe-o-Lotl, could go either way.

May as well post my tactics...

AXE-O-LOTL
My oppodents are, supposingly, Tetanus Booster, Barberous 2n A Bit and Thunderpants. What I DONT know is if Thunderpants is gonig to do a repeat of its heat and never make it into the arena.

If it DOES make it, attack it. It doesnt appear to have anything it can damage me with.

If it doesnt, then my target will be Tetanus Booster. Hit it with the axe constantly. The reason Im going for him and not Barberous is because Im positive Barby will just knock himself out. Otherwise, just go Iron Awe on him.

And we€™re back!

Laurie Calvert tries his hardest to get Lightning zooming towards Infusion before the deadly ring spinner reaches its ferocious speed, slamming the controls forward with determination. Lightning darts towards its opponent, but it€™s simply not quick enough to stop Infusion - the 28kg spinning mass forcing the dust and debris from the previous fights to be simply pushed aside by the phenomenal quickness of the body. Infusion moves to meet its deadly adversary, the thick Hardox wedge colliding with the sleek wedge of Lightning, However, it is the latter who gets the upper hand, and manages to drive the wedge underneath Infusion, rendering the spinning body useless for the time being. Aaron, tenacious as ever, carries on spinning the body of Infusion and tries desperately to gain some form of traction to manoeuvre itself off Lightning€™s wedge. Lightning carries on driving under Infusion, forcing the Aussie machine further and further up the wedge and nearer the two flippers, which previously ended Thor€™s chances. Laurie Calvert fires one of the flippers on Lightning, sending Infusion over - the teeth on the spinning body slicing into the arena floor, sending wooden shrapnel into the air and littering the arena floor and the competing robots like confetti at a wedding. Infusion - now inverted - gets its spinning body back up to its chassis-shattering top speed and reverses towards Lightning, using its 12mph top speed to get ever so slightly closer to the machine from Essex. Laurie spins Lightning around, just in time for Infusion to ride up the wedge once again. The right flipper on Lightning fires, the CO2 hissing as it flows through the pipes and into the ram - but its too early! Infusion rides further up the wedge, and makes contact with the exposed pneumatic ram. The teeth on the spinning shell rip the pneumatic ram clean out of Lightning, sending sparks and CO2 gas upwards into the air. The impact sends Infusion off the wedge, allowing it to come in on another attack. Lightning - still reeling from that deadly hit - cannot get away inn time, as Aaron sends Infusion in for another bite, this time right into the side of Lightning, slashing the armour as if it was wafer thin. Lightning is send spiralling towards the arena wall, the impact being felt by the audience. Laurie Calvert looks worried, as Lightning appears to be dead - only the small alien on top of Lightning giving it some hope. Infusion, still inverted, carries on spinning in the middle of the arena - it knows it has done enough.

Cease!

Lightning: nothing more than a mere flash in the pan.
Infusion goes through to the Series Semi Finals!

Nice fights of extreme w00tiness Dan

I predict that Tetanus Booster and Axe-o-lotl will prevail in the second melee, and we already know what happens in the first
