Eliminators
At first the robots simply nudged eachother but then Spawn of Scutter got underneath Banshee and using its pneumatic spike flipped it onto it's side from which it couldn't get back up. Later in the battle Banshee's head was spiked with Shunt's axe and pulled from the robot and then torched on the flame pit. The rest of Banshee was destroyed by the house robots and then flipped by the floor flipper. For the remainder of the battle Knightmare and Spawn of Scutter simply pushed eachother around the arena.
 * Knightmare vs Banshee vs Spawn of Scutter


 * Qualified:Knightmare and Spawn of Scutter

Vercingetorix dominated this match using his axe and lifting arm/srimech to good effect. Vercingetorix continually tried to flip Fat Boy Tin throughout and eventually it did. Vercingetorix then went on to flip Plunderbird onto it's side, and then back onto it's wheels while Fat Boy Tin was dealt with by the house robots. It's face was also spiked by shunt.

Semi-Finals
This battle involved a lot of pushing Vercingetorix around the arena and into the house robots which eventually immobilised him. This is possibly due to an attack by Killalot's crushing jaws to the side of Vercingetorix. He was then lifted up and spun by Sir Killalot and flipped by the floor flipper.
 * Spawn of Scutter vs Vercingetorix


 * Winner:Spawn of Scutter

Both robots throughout the battle rode up onto eachother, eventually having to be separated by Refbot. Both robots then continued to bash into eachother before Knightmare got in underneath and flipped Plunderbird onto it's side. Plunderbird was then attacked by all of the house robots at once before being pitted.
 * Plunderbird 4 vs Knightmare


 * Winner:Knightmare

Final
The heat final ended very quickly for Knightmare after Spawn of Scutter rode up on him and pushed him into Shunt who pushed Knightmare onto the floor flipper. The house robots then had their play and pitted Knightmare.
