Heat A

Eliminators

Tornado (1) vs Major Tom 3 vs Infernal Contraption vs Piranha: ''Tornado's not losing this by any stretch. Of the remaining three, Major Tom is just too slow and I don't like Piranha's weak armour. Infernal Contraption might cause some visible damage to it, if Piranha isn't pitted beforehand. I'm picking IC to survive because it's slippery enough to avoid Tornado's wrath.''

Tornado and Infernal Contraption Progress

The Scrapper vs Barbaric Response vs Killer Carrot 2 vs Saw Point 2: ''Barbaric Response is so underrated; it's got the beating of every robot here. The Scraper looks easily side stranded, and Saw Point is Saw Point. Killer Carrot isn't great but it's reliable and can at least self right.''

Barbaric Response and Killer Carrot 2 Progress

Round Two

Tornado (1) vs Killer Carrot 2: Next.

Infernal Contraption vs Barbaric Response: ''Watching Infernal Contraption fight Behemoth in the University Challenge leads me to believe it can do very little to BR's angled front. I expect a pitting, if not a convincing judges' decision.''

Heat Final

Tornado (1) vs Barbaric Response: BR might be underrated, but it's not THAT underrated.

Heat B

Eliminators

Supernova (3) vs NEATer Machine vs Ceros vs Big Nipper: ''Wow, poor NEATer. I think out of the remaining three, Ceros is the weak link of a very strong remainder - it did lose to Twister in the qualifiers, which is nowhere near as powerful as Supernova. Big Nipper ought to be durable enough to survive.''

Supernova and Big Nipper Progress

Steel Avenger vs Kronic the Wedgehog vs Twister vs Kat 3: ''Tough melee, this. Twister isn't great but I think it'll do enough damage to its opponents to go through. Of the remaining three, it's close. Steely's a goner I feel sadly; it's had a hard time in all of my audited series. From Kat 3 and Kronic, we know that damage carries more weight and there's no question as to whether it can put its axe through Kronic and Steely's armour. Kronic may try as it might, but a hit from one the other robots on its wheels (admittedly unlikely from Kat 3 or Steely) will seriously damage them.''

Twister and Kat 3 Progress

Round Two

Supernova (3) vs Twister: Remember how I said Twister was nowhere near as powerful as Supernova?

Big Nipper vs Kat 3: Big Nipper should be aggressive enough to shove Kat 3 around; it may take damage but it can just easily lift up and push its opponents for most of the battle.

Heat Final

Supernova vs Big Nipper: ''BN just isn't the type of robot to take on Supernova. Those flat sides and claws will show damage over time.''

Heat C

Behemoth (5) vs Ewe 2 vs Mechaniac vs Ming Dienasty

Disconstructor vs Herbinator vs Pinser vs Demolition Man
