Then, Enderbot broken down, one wheel having stopped totally, the other wobbly. Sir Killalot picked Enderbot up, and spun it around, before letting it go, sending Enderbot crashing into the arena wall.

El-Mower vs Flextreme
El Mower started the fight by charging at the still Flextreme, who eventually kicked slowly into life, chraging El-Mower from behind. El-Mower caused minor damage to Flextreme with the spinning blade. Shunt pushed the pit release button and then attacked El-Mower, recieving a yellow card from Refbot for his troubles. The fight ended with both robots still mobile, the judges voting in favour of El-Mower.


 * Winner: El-Mower

Project One vs Blue
Project One, the slower off the start, was attacked from the rear by Blue, who then was set on by Project One, nearly being flipped twice, and being pinned and axed, one of the blue heads being shredded by the axe. A flip from Project One also dislodged some of the armourment of Blue, but it fought back, pushing Project One, who lay immobile and was counted out by Refbot. Meanwhile, Blue had caught fire, but they'd done enough to win.


 * Winner: Blue

Enderbot vs Flextreme vs Project One
Project One started the battle by attacking Flextreme, but was ambushed by Enderbot and nearly toppled. Flextreme pushed against Enderbot and was axed by its two opponents. Flextreme hit the pit release tyre, while Project One was pressurised by Sergeant Bash, who nearly tore off the axe. Sir Killalot then decided to attack Project One, while the remaining two robots pushed against each other. The fight was decided by the Judges, ruling in favour of Enderbot.
 * Winner: Enderbot

Slicer vs El-Mower
Slicer started the fight with two blows that nearly knocked El-Mower over, follwed by a third that did. El-Mower was then axed by Shunt, and the decorative Elmo toy was torched over the flame pit. A smouldering El-Mower was counted out, flipped and then pushed into the pit by Matilda.


 * Winner: Slicer

Blue vs Enderbot
Enderbot was the first robot to land an attack, sticking a hole into Blue and knocking off a panel, revealing inner working within Blue. Enderbot continued to land another hit on Blue, loosening armour panels. Blue, trying to escape, left an entire panel behind, which Shunt picked up and smashed. The exposed and immobile remains of Blue were counted out, flipped, and eventually pitted.


 * Winner: Enderbot

Slicer vs Enderbot
Enderbot made contact with the drum of Slicer, not appearing to be damaged, the second contact removing a small panel. Enderbot made a few glancing blows with the axe, but caused no real damage. Dead Metal wedged itself on top of Slicer, suceeding in removing a tyre from Enderbot, leaving it immobile. Slicer pushed Enderbot into Dead Metal, who sliced the remaining wheel. Slicer hit the pit release button while Enderbot was counted out. Sir Killalot then picked up Enderbot, nearly toppling over in the process, putting it on the flipper, where it was flipped, before Dead Metal seured one last slice before cease was called.
