I think we all would, but the likelihood of that is quite low as of right now. If they're going by the reasoning I think they're working on (which is that the fallen heat-finalist that scores the highest number of points in the head-to-head rounds gets the wildcard...that seemed to be how it worked last season), then either Apollo or Carbide would need to win all three of their fights by knockout (thus a total of nine points) and then lose the heat final.

At the moment, the robot with the highest score is Pulsar, with a total of eight points. I feel that's going to be extremely difficult to top or even just tie. That being said, there is the possibility that Pulsar will simply be in no state to take part considering all the technical problems it had in the heat, but even then Apollo/Carbide would still need to score higher than Thor with its six points.
