Let's move on to the Middleweights!
Nuzzel vs. Waynestock
Nuzzel is a rather blocky vapourbot with a nasty scythe/nail-shaped axe, capable of dealing 317kg of pressure to the tip. It also has 40mm of high-density polyethylene, however it has no skirts or wedging around it to protect it against flippers/other wedges. That could be a problem because he's dealing with...
Waynestock, inspired by Anthony Politzi's own Novastorm 2. Well, the shape is inspired, but the weaponry is quite different. The whole front wedge is a flipper powered by 2 2kg CO2 tanks, however it's not invertible, and due to its shape it might not be able to right itself properly.
Roboteers, stand by...
Booth 1: Leo van Miert

Nuzzel flies across the arena, and up over Waynestock, who fires the flipper to late, and Nuzzel goes flying, and lands back onto his wheels, and slows to a grinding halt before the arena wall. I think I can smell the rubber burning from here. Waynestock has recovered from the near self-flip, and reverses into Nuzzel, and sliding the rear wedge under the axebot before he can turn around. Nuzzel tries to reverse but it's pretty hard to when neither of your wheels are touching the floor, or the opposing robot. Waynestock turns around, and Nuzzel slides off the wedge as he does so. Waynestock is there with the flipper but Nuzzel whisks away as the panel fires, and Waynestock nearly inverts himself again! Nuzzel does an about-face and heads in Waynestock's direction, just as Waynestock turns to greet the charge. FLIP! The flipper fires at exactly the right time and Nuzzel is launched up into the air! With a great THUD he lands right on his big behind, and Waynestock is right there, with another assault! FLIP! Nuzzel is on his side, and rolling...onto his back! Waynestock charges forwards and tosses Nuzzel again into the wall! Nuzzel collapses...back onto his wheels, but he doesn't have the time to enjoy driving around because he's tilted sideways by the wedge of Waynestock and...FLIP! Nuzzel soars...right over the fence! Another quick fight!
CEASE!
Nuzzel gets elbowed aside.
Waynestock advances to the Middleweight Final!
