A not-so-fliptastic match as it was Envy constantly getting under Atomic and overturning it, and Atomic self-righting. Envy had more CO2 in the tank, and Atomic eventually ran out and could not self right.
Heat winner: Envy

Gravity (7) vs. Chaos 2 vs. Dominator II vs. Black Panther
Dominator II never got going. Gravity got under them from the get-go and ejected them from the arena with hardly 5 seconds gone off the clock, fastest OOTA ever. It didn't have long to celebrate its achievement though, as Black Panther came in and clamped it with the wedge and axe blow. Black Panther headed to Mr. Psycho's CPZ and bashed them hard into the house robot, who threw down the hammer (literally) and that caused Gravity to stop moving. A parting shot from Chaos 2 left Black Panther on its head, however, and it was pinioned against the wall. Gravity was counted out first though.
Big Nipper (26) vs. Vader vs. Mantis vs. Door Stops
All the competitors did well until halfway into the battle. Both Vader and Mantis seemed sluggish, allowing one of the Door Stops to shove Vader towards the angle grinder. Unfortunately Vader managed to get out of it and that Door Stop charged into the grinder, pinning itself. Its partner went to help out but was grabbed by Big Nipper and pitted. Mantis tried to clamp Vader but Vader turned into the side, and actually managed to turn it over. Big Nipper then pitted Mantis, and Vader afterwards. All eyes are now on Chaos 2 and Big Nipper...

An unexpected leader in Tracy Farber, but Joey McConnell is still on her heels...
If Big Nipper thought it was easy to get underneath Black Panther, they were dead wrong. They lasted the entire battle, of which was a torment because they got flipped, heavily axed, bashed by house robots, rammed across the arena, and other things besides. It was amazing that they were still able to move at the end, but Black Panther received an almost unanimous judges decision.
Vader vs. Chaos 2
For a moment it seemed as though Chaos 2 had trouble getting in underneath Vader, and took a few blows to the side in attempting to do so. However, barely a minute in, the inevitable happened; Chaos 2 found Vader's ground clearance, Vader was turned over and KO'd.
