Red Devil - really tough, but given the surprising durability of Red Devil with its scoop configuration and the dodgy reliability of Valkyrie, I'll give this to the robot that I really hope wasn't named with Manchester United in mind.

Brutus - yeah, Gigabyte has underwhelmed us all, hasn't it? Beating SOW is no mean feat, I expect Brutus to do something similar here - providing it doesn't wet the bed like it did against Red Devil.

Bite Force - poor Mike, I wasn't a fan of his machine in Season 2 I must admit but his luck with draws this year has been egregious. Bombshell is not a bad robot - it just needed to face a horizontal spinner for its design advantages to come into play. Bite Force is not a horizontal spinner, it has the best wedge in the competition (probably) and Bombshell cannot self right. If Lock-Jaw can beat it, Bite Force certainly can.

Son of Whyachi - not really sure here, given that End Game is essentially Brutus but New Zealandish... New Zealandese... Kiwi. However, Brutus' bar spinner is far more applicable for taking on a horizontal spinner, as there's less surface area for SOW to hit. End Game should win this if it has a bar configuration, but if not, this is SOW's fight in my opinion.

Lucky - Reality's reliability is questionable, and yes, so is Lucky's - but if Lucky can keep its front facing Reality, there won't be anything for the drum to bite on. Big if, mind.

Minotaur - I'd love Blacksmith to win this, but it was so thoroughly dominated last time that I don't see anything changing. While it is sturdier now, and may last 3 minutes, I don't see what it can do that will both Minotaur bar perhaps burn out its motors/push it into a hazard.
