Eliminators
The match started quickly with Indefatigable and Atomic dodging Chaos 2's attacks before Chaos 2 flipped Atomic on its side, who then rerighted itself with its flipper blade. Chaos 2 zoomed around the arena and put Indefatigable on its side, before tipping Atomic on its edge, slamming back down, but seemed to get its blade stuck upwards and looked immobilised when it was flipped over again. Meanwhile Indefatigable had become a plaything for Sgt. Bash as Matilda got stuck into Atomic. Chaos 2 had the last laugh though by flipping Inefatigable out of the arena and the competition.

 * Qualified: Chaos 2 and Atomic

An even battle, which involved the robots pushing each other around a lot. Medusa 2000 managed to get King B3 onto top of it a few times. King B3 shoved Attila the Drum into the arena wall. Sgt Bash came in and one of Attila's sides caught fire. It was still mobile and managed to escape. More pushing ensued until time ran out. The resulting judge's decision eliminated Attila the Drum from the competition. The crowd disagreed with the decision.

Semi-Finals
Chaos 2 immediatly chucked Medusa 2000 into the air, but not out of the arena. Medusa 2000 fought on bravely, but then reversed into Sgt Bash, who crushed one of Medusa's tyres with his claw. The House Robots closed in. Medusa 2000 got flung on the flipper, before Killalot lifted it up and dropped it in the pit.

 * Winner:Chaos 2

The two robots started evenly, until Atomic flipped King B3 with its flipper. Atomic pushed it a bit, but then slammed into the arena wall and it's flipper snapped off. King B3 tried to push it, but then started billowing smoke again. Atomic pushed it around again, before Killalot lifted King B3 up and dropped it in the pit.

 * Winner:Atomic

Final
A fairly easy win for the champions. Chaos 2 threw Atomic (whose flipper had been fixed) over, then back onto it's wheels and that was enough to immobilise Atomic. Chaos 2 chucked it over repeatedly many times, then pushed them into Sir Killalot, who snipped through Atomic's frame with his new, bigger claw. Killalot dragged Atomic away to the floor flipper, which threw it into the air.
