Battle 1: Ireland is not a county, Lancashire gets a bye to Round 2. Battle 2: Wales is not a county, Midlothian (a Scottish county, well done) gets a bye to Round 2. Battle 3: I love Edge Hog, but sadly, it is the weak link here. It can do nothing against Wheely Big Cheese, and Iron-Awe 2.1 has a clear advantage. Crushtacean has lost to Wheely Big Cheese before, although I feel it's not impossible for them to win a rematch... but beating Wheely Big Cheese AND Iron-Awe is unreasonable. Somerset goes through to Round 2. Battle 4: You know, I think this is the first time I've seen Diotoir go against the popular vote in one of our votes, and I completely agree with him. Even if Steel Avenger's unreliable srimech survives the whole match, that doesn't resolve the issue of the high ground clearance, even Herbinator could expose it. Hodaf the Bad would indeed cause damage to Spawn of Scutter with its disc, and Scutter in question has never beaten a robot with a lower wedge than its own. Steel Avenger will get some blows in, but case in point Chaos 2, it generally gets flipped straight after an axe attack. Team West Yorkshire does it for my home county. Sort of. Team East Yorkshire is kinda dead. I nearly went to the University of Huddersfield ;)
