Round 1

 * Chaos 2 vs Steg 2

As the robots approached each other, Steg 2 tried to use its flipper but missed which left Chaos 2 able to get underneath and flip Steg 2 onto its back. Steg 2 was able to self-right and Chaos 2 attempted another flip but failed. Then Steg 2 got underneath Chaos 2 and flipped it over, but Chaos 2 quickly self-righted. Chaos 2 then flipped Steg 2 onto its side, leaving it unable to self-right. Steg 2 was flipped onto its back by the arena flipper but the CO2 supply had run out and it could not right itself.

Winner: Chaos 2


 * Wheely Big Cheese vs Tornado

Tornado started by pushing Wheely Big Cheese but then drove up onto its opponent's flipper and Wheely Big Cheese flipped Tornado almost out of the arena. Tornado then pushed Wheely Big Cheese into the CPZ, where it was attacked by Matilda and one of the wheels on Wheely Big Cheese was bent out of place. Tornado pushed Wheely Big Cheese around the arena and Wheely Big Cheese was unable to respond as the bent wheel had caused mobility issues. Cease was called with both robots still mobile and the judges went for Tornado.

Winner: Tornado


 * Thermidor 2 vs Pussycat

Thermidor 2 started very quickly and flipped Pussycat three times in quick succession. Thermidor 2 flipped Pussycat twice more before Pussycat finally attacked with its spinning wheel. Pussycat caused major damage to the armour and the pincers of Thermidor 2 and sliced through the tyres of its opponent. Both robots were mobile at the end and the judges went for Pussycat.

Winner: Pussycat


 * Firestorm 2 vs Dominator 2

Firestorm 2 quickly got underneath Dominator 2 and flipped it over onto its side, but Dominator 2 used its axe to self-right. Then Dominator 2 attacked Firestorm 2 with the axe, which dug into Firestorm 2's flipper and Dominator 2 was able to push its opponent around the arena. Firestorm 2 escaped and again flipped Dominator 2 onto its side, only for it to self-right again. Dominator 2 grabbed Firestorm 2 with its axe and dragged it around the arena before releasing it. Firestorm 2 then flipped Dominator 2 over for a third time and once again it self-righted. Firestorm 2 flipped Dominator 2 over once more and this time it pinned its opponent against the arena wall for the rest of the fight, stopping it from self-righting. Both robots were mobile at the end of the battle and the judges went for Dominator 2.

Winner: Dominator 2

Round 2
Chaos 2 failed in its first attempt to flip Tornado but then flipped it over twice in quick succession. Chaos 2 flipped Tornado twice more until it was up against the arena wall, and then one final flip sent Tornado flying out of the arena and out of the battle.
