Nickelodeon Robot Wars/International Tag Team Terror

The International Tag Team Terror was a competition held during Nickelodeon Robot Wars. It was essentially a combination between two tournaments, being the War of Independence and the Tag Team Terror.


 * The International Tag Team Terror is the only Tag Team tournament to feature contestants from two different countries.

Format
Two teams, each with two robots, entered the arena at once. Only one member from each team was allowed to battle at any one time. If a robot wished to let its team-mate into the action, it was to return to its CPZ. There, the robots could switch out and tag. However, these rules were very frequently broken and battles often featured all four robots battling at once.

The tournament featured four teams; two American and two British. The first two battles were qualifiers to decide which team would go through to the final to represent their respective country. There was also a playoff for third place between the heats and final.

U.S.A.

 * Zanzara & Run Away
 * The Revolutionist & Spin Doctor

U.K.

 * Ming 3 & Rick
 * Bigger Brother & Kat 3

Round 1
Note: Robots that started in the arena are listed first

U.S. Qualifier - Zanzara & Run Away vs Spin Doctor & The Revolutionist
Zanzara and Spin Doctor both charged at each other and collided head-to-head, with bits falling off one of the machines. Both robots spinning weapons seemed to break, so Spin Doctor tagged The Revolutionist, who started spinning. Zanzara hit the pit release button, but was hit in the rear by The Revolutionist and sent spinning. It repeated this action as the pit desended. Run Away quickly rushed out, but missed Revolutionist. As it backed away, Revolutionist clipped one of its wheels and immobilised it. Shunt and Matilda began to attack Run Away and the now-obviously-immobile Zanzara, who was flipped over. After Refbot counted them out, the House Robots managed to place both robots onto the floor flipper, and they were both thrown together.

"The whole team got flipped at the same time! You won't see that too often!"
