Round 1

 * 101 vs Scutter's Revenge

101 started quickly and twice drove over the front scoop of Scutter's Revenge. Both robots tried to push each other around but neither robot was able to get any real power behind each push. Eventually, Scutter's Revenge began to slow down and soon stopped moving completely and was immobilised.

Winner: 101


 * Gravedigger vs Steg-O-Saw-Us

The battle started very slowly with both robots avoiding each other before Gravedigger pushed Steg-O-Saw-Us into Sir Killalot and then attempted to flip its opponent but was just unable to flip it completely. Gravedigger then flipped Steg-O-Saw-Us up onto the arena wall but Matilda knocked it back onto its wheels. Steg-O-Saw-Us then backed into Gravedigger and pushed it around the arena before cease was called and the judges went for Steg-O-Saw-Us.

Winner: Steg-O-Saw-Us


 * Beast of Bodmin vs Blade

Beast of Bodmin quickly got underneath Blade and attempted to tip its opponent over, but was unsuccessful. Beast of Bodmin tried twice more unsuccessfully before finally managing to get underneath and flip Blade onto its side using its lifting ram. Beast of Bodmin then tipped Blade onto its back and it was immobilised.

Winner: Beast of Bodmin


 * Evil Weevil vs Hypno-Disc

Hypno-Disc started slowly to get its spinning disc up to speed but was unable to cause damage in the early exchanges. However, Hypno-Disc was soon able to cause damage to Evil Weevil as pieces of armour flew off the robot. Hypno-Disc continued to do damage until Evil Weevil sustained control problems and was immobilised.

Winner: Hypno-Disc

Round 2

 * Steg-O-Saw-Us vs Beast of Bodmin

Steg-O-Saw-Us drove into Beast of Bodmin and caused minor damage to the front of its opponent. Steg-O-Saw-Us continued to ram into its opponent until Beast of Bodmin started to slow down. Steg-O-Saw-Us repeatedly rammed Beast of Bodmin into the arena wall until it eventually became immobilised and Steg-O-Saw-Us went through to the Grand Final.

Winner: Steg-O-Saw-Us


 * 101 vs Hypno-Disc

Hypno-Disc attacked 101 but its spinning disc did no damage and bounced off. 101 then pushed Hypno-Disc across the arena and drove up onto the disc, stopping it from spinning. Both robots drove into a CPZ and were attacked by Dead Metal, with Hypno-Disc sustaining some damage. Hypno-Disc then pushed 101 into the CPZ, but 101 quickly escaped. The battle concluded with the two robots pushing each other and the decision went to the judges. For the first time ever, the judges went into the arena to inspect for damage before making their decision. The judges went for Hypno-Disc, who progressed to the Grand Final.

Winner: Hypno-Disc
