Round 1 Battle 1Warrior SKF (8) vs. Starstorm 2 vs. X-Terminator 3Representing Aaron Knight and Team Disctructive Technologies is a real robot, and the 8th seed to boot: Warrior SKF! This monster was built by Terry Ewert of Team Whyachi and is a very powerful spinner. Its flywheel spins at 1000rpm, but that’s not all. It has a wedge attached to the spinner with a flipper on top, but the flipper is powered by the flywheel itself! On top of this, the flipper is extremely powerful and can send other robots flying like Cyclonebot! Disable the spinner, however, and the flipper won’t work. Remember this, rammers. C&BT1: Immolated Chaos 2’s remains, sent The Disc 5 into the pit, and then took out every single robot in the arena, which consisted of Shovearound 2, and the house bots: however, after his awesome victory in the Heat F Final, his flywheel rim was shattered by 4th seed Aneurysm in the Series Finals, and Warrior SKF was defeated. Representing Frank Goacher and Team Bored: Starstorm 2! It’s that dome we love to...watch flip stuff around. Its full body flipper sends bots flying terminally rather than across, and it’s got some nice hardox armour to deflect those nasty spinners, though it’s got weight reducing holes, self-explanatory. Attached to the dome are linear actuated skirts that can lower and get under bots. However it will not excel at get bots over the fence due to the method of flipping, and it can definitely be out-pushed. C&BT1: Outflipped Gravity in Heat D Round 1, and next round pitted ArchAngel of the Abyss, but after it was counted out on its back. Representing David Sheppard and his team ( ) is another realie: X-Terminator 3! A true terminator of sorts, it has a front vertical flywheel, very damaging, and it can actually send robots out of the ring! It’s more bulky than before, but although it’s hard to flip, once it is, it cannot self-right unlike previous incarnations. It has decent armour, but it can still be damaged. Will the Terminator rise to glory, or “be back” another time? C&BT1: Did not enter.Roboteers, stand by... Booth 1: Warrior SKF, X-Terminator 3 Booth 2: Starstorm 2 Double Big Mac gets ready to spin his hammerz up. Asterix Heroicus simply waits for the right moment to strike. 3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!It’s the 8th seed that flies off, right towards X-Terminator, who decides to confront Warrior SKF head-on. Starstorm drives away from them and goes to open the pit, as the two realies collide! CRASH!X-Terminator’s disc catches the flipper of Warrior and tosses it a little, but minimal damage is caused, which is perfect for the Whyachi bot to utilize, and the flipper gets right under X-Terminator and...FLIP! WHOA! X-Terminator gets some nice air, and does a near perfect 360, landing back onto his wheels! Oh, there’s the siren, meaning the pit has been opened, thanks to ol’ Frankie. Warrior continues his march, and X-Terminator backs off to spin his weapon up...and finds his world inverted as Starstorm sneaks in from behind, back from the pit button, and gives an almighty FLIP, sending XT3 soaring, and landing dead on his back. The disc scrapes the floor and cuts some nice gauges into it, but the force is not enough to knock X-Terminator right side up again, and Warrior decides to cheat The Watcher off a countdown, because he’s got X-Terminator on the flipper again, and he’s going to the wall! FLIP! X-Terminator soars again, and bangs down harshly on the other side of the fence! CEASE! X-Terminator 3 has his Judgement Day come a bit early.Warrior SKF (8) and Starstorm 2 advance to Round 2!

Round 1 Battle 2 Stinger vs. Malaria vs. SUNCUST
Representing Matthew Fowler and Team Devil’s Incarnate is yet another realie: Stinger! It’s an axlebot with serious attitude, and a deadly thwacker that’s actually beaten a crowd favourite, Panic Attack. Its exposed wheels can take a beating, yet they are still exposed and the discs in this tournament can really shred them. He may not have to worry about discs in this battle, but his control has been poor in the past, and it may come back to haunt him...plus he’s quite lightweight. C&BT1: Did not enter.
Representing Alex MacWilliams and Team Targeted: Malaria! Powerful drive including Magmotors and 6WD hardox wheels, rubber-coated, which give it a top speed of 22mph. Its armour is comprised of 5mm titanium for the body, and 7mm for the skirts. Its shape is similar to Biohazard, so it’s hard to get under, but if you get under the skirts, you will probably sneak under the 7mm ground clearance as well. The main weapons? 2 diamond tipped hammers, powered by Nitrogen bottles, and a small, front lifting scoop, though slightly weak-ish. Apparently, though, if you get under it, it’s screwed, though it can self-right using the axes... C&BT1: Did not enter.
Representing Anthony Politzi and Team Hitmen: Super Upright Natural Clamper Unsurvivable Shover Thingy, otherwise known as SUNCUST! It’s basically Diesector without the hammers or exposed wheels. Two sheets of hardox with spikes clamp down on its opponents at the front, powered by pneumatics. It’s powered by 4 NPC Black-Max motors and 8 SLAs at 36v, giving it 16mph of velocity to work with. It also has front skirts around the jaws, and nice 12mm titanium armour, rendering it quite strong. It seems to be invertible too, and also has skirts around the sides and rear. It is said that it needs to excel at more than "just above average" at times, however... C&BT1: Did not enter.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Malaria, Stinger Booth 2: SUNCUST
Tira-san spins around in a blur of emerald while Ancalagon the Black breathes some CO2 from the jaws.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!
Here we go, unique weaponry again. Malaria has the quickest start, slamming into Stinger and pushing towards the wall. Stinger merely drives over it, missing the hammers, only to be snagged by SUNCUST’s jaws and clamped! Well...it seems we may have two quick Round 1 matches here. Whoa, what the – Stinger pounded SUNCUST in the mace, and SUNCUST let go! Tony blinks, confused, but Alex isn’t wondering about this, and Malaria chases down the axlebot and gives one of the wheels a taste of hammer! OOH! It’s gone right into the wheel! Stinger pounds, and pounds, and the 5mm titanium seems to be withstanding the blows quite nicely. SUNCUST comes in again and tackles Stinger’s other wheel hub-first, and opens the jaws wide. Stinger can’t get away and the jaws close right around the tires and chomp down! Ooh...that’s almost disgusting...almost? Malaria should be the one causing disgust. Speaking of Malaria, he can’t seem to pull his hammer loose out of Stinger’s wheel, and pulls back, dragging SUNCUST along for the ride. SUNCUST hangs on tight and tries to throw Malaria off, throwing itself backwards. AGH! Look, the rubber is slowly being peeled off of Stinger’s gigantic tires! It is now officially disgusting...Malaria brings down his free hammer and whacks Stinger’s axle, not really damaging it but finally freeing the other hammer from the wheel...and the said wheel seems to have stopped. Malaria backs off and SUNCUST takes control, shoving Stinger into Tira’s CPZ, where Tira gladly accepts her bread. CRASH! Oh, man! What a hit! Foam, rubber, metal, and some colourful sparks fly as Stinger is wrenched from SUNCUST’s slowly weakened grip and flung across the floor, now dead as a stone. SUNCUST decides not to go after Tira and instead travels over to Stinger and chomps down again. Malaria has opened the pit already, as the hole is there, and again The Watcher is denied a countout as SUNCUST turns, advances, and drops Stinger down into the darkness. BOOM!
CEASE!
For our friend Stinger, it was “Die At First Sting”! Malaria and SUNCUST advance to Round 2!

Round 2 Battle 1 Warrior SKF (8) vs. SUNCUST
Warrior SKF (8) got nicked early by X-Terminator 3 but when Starstorm 2 flipped it over, that was it, as Warrior SKF tossed the helpless spinner over the wall and out.
SUNCUST teamed up with Malaria to destroy Stinger, and did so without too much hassle, shoving the realie down the hole after literally chowing down on its wheels.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Warrior SKF Booth 2: SUNCUST
Ah, Ivy-X makes her first C&B2 appearance, accompanied by Exa-Gore-Ic: AI again.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!
The rim of Warrior SKF spins up to full speed almost immediately, and SUNCUST approaches warily. He’s not going to take too many chances against this deadly realie, but Aaron takes it out of his hands by jetting out towards SUNCUST in a sudden joust. Tony is surprised by this tactic, surprised enough that it distracts him a bit and Warrior is able to come in at the front right corner, slip under the skirt, and FLIP! Up goes SUNCUST into the air, landing the wrong way up! And he doesn’t have enough time to react before the 8th seed turns and inserts the rim! CRASH! The rim hits the 12mm titanium and bounces away, foiled. SUNCUST puts his jaws towards Warrior again and pounces. Warrior greets him with the wedge, and it’s SUNCUST who prevails in the clash of lowered clearances, as Warrior’s wedge rides right up into the jaws! The pneumatic jaws activate, and close down upon the flipper! WHOA! Warrior’s flipper flew up and smacked SUNCUST’s upper plate, which freed him just in time, before the spikes could get a good hold! Tony grinds his teeth and comes back at Warrior, who darts back towards one of the corners. SUNCUST backs up and Warrior misses, turning to find SUNCUST’s jaws almost in his face. Warrior makes a reverse U-turn and nicks SUNCUST’s side with the rim! CRASH! Still quite ineffective, but the judges are impressed by the number of sparks emitted. Warrior has a rush at the side skirt of SUNCUST, who backs off and Warrior just gets under, only the front of it and flips too late, raising himself slightly off the ground. SUNCUST darts in but also too late to take advantage, as Warrior turns away. Both are again facing each other, and decide “To hell with it!” They charge! WHAM! Both clearances meet and cancel out this time, neither able to overpower the other...wait...SUNCUST is pushing the 8th seed ever-so-slightly backwards, and towards the arena wall behind! Warrior foresees his peril and backs off, but can’t seem to turn and SUNCUST has him! He’s going to the wall! CRASH!!! SUNCUST pounds Warrior’s flywheel against the wall, sending the realie flying across the arena – OOHHH!!! The wall panel has been ripped completely off!
CEASE!
Oh dear, we can’t allow the match to continue with the walls damaged! Please wait a moment while the C&B crewbots take time to patch the wall up...ah, there we go.
ACTIVATE!!
All right, we’re back to the action. Warrior is coming around to meet the side of SUNCUST with the wedge, and...is foiled again. SUNCUST comes to greet the side and is nailed by the flywheel again! CRASH! SUNCUST is thrown a bit, but that 12mm titanium is really standing up to the rim of Warrior, which is surprising indeed, as Shovearound 2 last series got literally shredded by that deadly rim despite its own armour! And now SUNCUST is at the side of Warrior! HE’S GOT THEM! The jaws sink in, the flipper flies, but nothing done! Warrior have been clamped! And now...now...surely they are doomed. SUNCUST rams his rear-end straight into the pit release, not only opening the pit but taking off the button from the wall! Argh...but now that’s over, and Warrior falls out of SUNCUST’s jaws and meets the bottom of the pit.
CEASE!
Warrior SKF goes down a few rankings, and classified as “Private SKF”! SUNCUST advances to the Heat M Final!!

Round 2 Battle 2 Starstorm 2 vs. Malaria
Starstorm 2 tossed over X-Terminator 3 and that ended it for XT3, who found itself on the camera tracks a few seconds later, courtesy of the 8th seed, Warrior SKF.
Malaria helped SUNCUST take out Stinger’s wheels, and then the realie was immobilized immediately after, giving its pitting by SUNCUST.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Malaria Booth 2: Starstorm 2
Taki-san and Obelix Bulguous wait for the right moment to strike...
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!
Both come flying out to greet each other, and are in each other’s faces right away. Starstorm 2 lowers the front skirt into the ground, and Malaria smartly stops and gives a hammer blow with one of his hammers. BANG! The dome withstands the heavy blow, though a dent can be seen. Starstorm raises the skirt a little and comes forward, but unfortunately he drives right into the lifting scoop of Malaria and gets lifted. BANG! The other side hammer comes down and Starstorm is shocked, but still seems to be okay despite another dent in the hardox. Starstorm is pushed away and receives another blow before hitting the wall. BANG! WHAM! Another blow, the tiniest bit less powerful than before, manages to dent the hardox once again, and Starstorm is stacked against the wall, receiving multiple hammer blows! BANG! BANG! BANG! The underbelly gets it now and it’s not looking too good for Starstorm at all! The 6mm polycarbonate is being throttled! The Watcher decides to stroll in, and shunts Malaria. Malaria backs into The Watcher, and tries to attack him, leaving Starstorm...tipping onto his head...and no reaction. It seems that Malaria’s hammers have done the damage required to steal Starstorm’s chances of reaching the Heat Final! But The Watcher can’t count him out as he’s being pushed away by Malaria! BANG! The front wedge of The Watcher takes a blow, but only a small dent, and The Watcher’s arm comes down and grabs Malaria by the hammer-shaft, and smacks him into the wall! Malaria is upended! The Watcher releases the Biohazard-shaped Team Targeted bot and goes back over to the seemingly dead Starstorm 2, to give him his judgement. This of course leaves him prey to a newly-self-righted Malaria who bores in on the ref again and lifts him up by the rear! HE’S OVER! The Watcher has been upended! Ooooh, here comes Obelix to deal with you! WHAM! The wedge of Obelix gets under Malaria and due to the angle of Obelix’s wedge, it sends Malaria flying! This means Obelix misses his hammer blow. Malaria lands on his wheels again, but the ref has righted himself using the arm and is currently counting out poor Starstorm 2! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
CEASE!
Starstorm 2 must settle for lower-class this time around. Malaria advances to the Heat M Final!!

Heat M Final SUNCUST vs. Malaria
Both our competitors teamed up on Stinger in Round 1 and successfully pitted him. Then SUNCUST grabbed Warrior SKF and repeated Round 1 by giving him a Stinger-like death, while Malaria tipped Starstorm 2 over and hammered the underbelly until it died.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Malaria Booth 2: SUNCUST
It's Tira-san who patrols one CPZ today. In the other, it's Asterix Heroicus.
3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE!!!
Our thirteenth heat final, and possibly the unluckiest? Malaria shoots out almost from the get-go, and veers away from a head -on collision with SUNCUST, but Tony turns to face Malaria's side with the jaws and guns forward! Malaria keeps going, not wanting to give SUNCUST a chance, and the jaws just slip under the side skirt as it passes out of his reach. SUNCUST gives chase, but Malaria being the quicker of the two evades him, gets around, and finds himself at SUNCUST's sides! BANG! One of the hammers comes down before SUNCUST can get away and hammers the 12mm titanium body but it bounces off with a small dent in the armour. SUNCUST backs off and comes at Malaria again, but Alex turns his machine away, and heads for the flame pit. SUNCUST again giving chase, and Malaria passes the flame pit, turns and makes a go for SUNCUST's side. Unfortunately he passes too close and SUNCUST turns and slides under the side skirt again! Malaria is high-centered on the jaws, which close around him! He's snagged - NO! Down come the hammers and shake him loose from the peril of the jaws, now fully closed and Tony gnashes his teeth for the second time this heat. SUNCUST shakes and opens the jaws, and runs towards Malaria who again heads away from a frontal assault and towards the side, but SUNCUST is already there. He tackles Malaria's side once more but fails to push the lower jaw under the skirt and Malaria takes advantage, by turning towards SUNCUST's own side, and finally penetrates HIS skirt! The plow lifts, and SUNCUST is tipped up, and thrown into the wall by Malaria's charge! Down come the hammers! BANG! BANG! Into SUNCUST'S side! Amazingly the 12 titanium isn't putting up that bad of a fight, but now some dents can be seen, and still the hammers come down. BANG! BANG! Still only dents, but looking worse for wear now, and now the side skirt has been bent up...SUNCUST can't seem to get away and The Watcher comes over to have a look. Malaria backs off and SUNCUST gladly falls back down onto his wheels, and jets off before Malaria can shove him back into the wall. The Biohazard-shaped bot chases after SUNCUST, who rams the pit release button, and Malaria catches up...to meet SUNCUST's jaws! What a 'turn' of events! Malaria stops too late, as SUNCUST comes forward and slides under the lifting plow of Malaria and the front skirts, lifting the entire front end up, and chomps down! BANG! BANG! Malaria's hammers come down and smash the top of SUNCUST! Ooh, big dents have been made by the hammers this time around! SUNCUST seems to be moving slowly as well, but he's so near the pit! And so is Malaria! TOO NEAR! BOOM!
CEASE!
Malaria's reign of terror is cured. SUNCUST advances to the Series Semi-Finals!!!
