End of an era: Panic Attack. Series 7 simply showed that Panic Attack was outdated. Once a grand champion, now reduced to a round 2 defeat at the hands of a much newer machine in Tough as Nails, and the gulf in class between the fifth seed Dantomkia and the eighth seeds in the All-Stars fight was very apparent. Doubt Kim Davies would have been able to do anything against those two either, the machine just wouldn’t be able to handle a lot of robots in this series, and has stood still while others have improved.

Be seeing you in the pool: S.M.I.D.S.Y. Nearly picked Kat 3, but ultimately settled with the robot who performed worse in round 1 and the heat final, and beat much easier opposition in Round 2.

Pool: Ansgar 3, Ceros, Crushtacean, Kan-Opener, Mantis, S.M.I.D.S.Y., Scorpion, Scraptosaur, Tetanus Booster, Trax
