The Gauntlet
1st- Rock Solid

Rock Solid started slowly and then manoeuvered on to one of the pits, which hadn't opened yet. It thenmoved tentertively towars the flippers. It mangerd to turn round the first flipper, so then Scoop was allowed to attack. Rock Solid showed great power by being able to match Scoop in a shoving match. Rock Solid got halfway down Scoop's territory, but Scoop manged to get underneath and flick Rock Solid's tusks up and push Rock Solid over. Rock Solid was left beached on its back while Scoop did a victory dance around the flippers.

"Rock Solid, this is amazing, Scoop actually looks scared!"

3rd- Mr Big

Mr Big, a robot made by a family team from West Sussex, started well by quickening around the first flipper. Unfortunately, when it sped into Scoop's terrirtory, Scoop flew out to push Mr Big down the pit.

4th- Bigfoot

Bigfoot's Gauntlet experience didn't last long. It started slowly, Bigfoot's big, circular bodylumbering towards the flippers. It looked like Bigfoot was going to negotiate the hazard, but its wheel got caught on the flipper, overturning the silver robot. The power of its pnuematic spike meant that Bigfoot continued moving for about ten more seconds, before Scoop pushed it down the one of the pits.

5th- The Mutt

The Mutt was mobile for about 6 seconds. Its sped away
