Robot Wars: The Fourth Wars/Grand Final

The Fourth Wars Grand Final was between the four robots that had progressed through their heats and the Semi-Finals. There were two Grand Final Eliminators to decide which robots would make the Grand Final, followed by a play-off for third and fourth. Finally, the Grand Champion would be determined in the Grand Final.

Eliminator 1
Hypno-Disc vs Pussycat

Pussycat started very quickly and immediately attacked the right rear wheel of Hypno-Disc, which bent the wheel guard and jammed the wheel. This left Hypno-Disc able only to move around in circles and Pussycat was able to push it into the CPZ. Shunt attacked the spinning wheel of Hypno-Disc with its axe, punching a massive hole into it and leaving it unable to spin. Hypno-Disc, now without a working weapon and with very limited movement, was picked up by Sir Killalot and dumped into the pit of oblivion.

Winner: Pussycat

Eliminator 2
Stinger vs Chaos 2

Chaos 2 started quickly, getting underneath and flipping Stinger early on. For a while after the initial attack Chaos 2 chased its opponent around the arena but Stinger was able to avoid its powerful flipper. Eventually, Stinger began to use its spinning attack on Chaos 2 which made it very difficult for Chaos 2 to get underneath and flip its opponent. One of these spinning attacks hit the back of Chaos 2 and sent the back panel flying off the machine leaving the inner mechanics exposed. Chaos 2 came back strong and flipped Stinger a few times, pushing Stinger into the clutches of Dead Metal but it escaped. Both robots were mobile at the end of the battle and the decision went to the judges. They decided that the two robots were equal on style, damage and aggression but Chaos 2 was ahead on control and was therefore awarded the victory.

Winner: Chaos 2

Playoff
Hypno-Disc vs Stinger

The eliminated robots were due to battle for third place, but Hypno-Disc was forced to withdraw due to the damage it had taken from Pussycat and Shunt in the previous round. Shunt's axe attack had penetrated Hypno-Disc's front drive system and left the gears badly bent, and the team was unable to fix the damage in time for the battle. Stinger was therefore awarded third place by default.

Winner (by default): Stinger

Final
Chaos 2 vs Pussycat

The battle started slowly with neither robot able to mount a serious attack. Eventually, Chaos 2 was able to get underneath and flip Pussycat into the air twice in quick succession. Pussycat tried to attack the wheels of its opponent but Chaos 2 continued to flip it through the air and across the arena. Pussycat came back and attacked the back of Chaos 2, with the back panel flying off the machine just as it had in the previous battle against Stinger. This attack appeared to slow Chaos 2 down and it was very sluggish for the rest of the battle but Pussycat's blade had stopped working so it was unable to take advantage. Chaos 2 attempted to flip Pussycat out of the arena but was unable to flip it high enough and both robots survived to the end of the battle. The judges decided that Chaos 2 had won on all four criteria and had retained the Robot Wars UK Championship.
