Canada vs Holland: Son of Ziggy has this in the bag for me. It's got a pretty strong 6 wheel drive which will outmuscle Tough As Nails' 2 wheels, and that flipper is going to launch TAN into the air if the Dutchman tries to grab it. SoZ to send TAN OotA.

Germany vs Brazil: On paper, Touro Maximus should win this; it's a powerful spinner and much more updated than Tsunami. However, it has a fairly high ground clearance, and if Tsunami can get under the front, the spinner will be nullified. I reckon that Tsunami will earn from its previous encounters with spinners to end the fight quickly, and can scoop up Touro before chucking it out.

England vs Australia: If Kan-Opener has the endurance to last two annihilators, then it's not going to be threatened by a substandard hammer from a stock robot. Kan Opener will crush through Bondi-Titch's sides and pit it.

Scotland vs South Africa: If All Torque uses the scoop, then it might be able to bulldoze Crushtacean for a bit. However, I think that Crushtacean will eventually seize All Torque with its claws and use the weight advantage to shove All Torque down the pit. Fair play to an old machine for getting this far though.
