Round 1
Rosie The Riveter 2 vs Night Stalker vs Basenji
Rosie The Riveter started its season 2 run against newcomers Night Stalker and Basenji. At the start, Night Stalker spun up its body and knocked Basenji's hole saw off. Basenji charged at Night Stalker and sent its hole saw flying almost out of the arena. Basenji and Rosie the Riveter then teamed up on Night Stalker, pushing it into Sir Killalot's CPZ. Sir Killalot picked Night Stalker up and dragged it out of the corner. Night Stalker tried to spin up but seemed to be running out of power. Basenji slammed Night Stalker into the wall and bent its blade. Rosie the Riveter then pushed Night Stalker back into Sir Killalot. Sir Killalot picked Night Stalker up, leaving its battery packs hanging out of its underside. Rosie the Riveter got underneath the immobile Night Stalker and pushed it around as Refbot counted it out. Sir Killalot then picked Night Stalker up off of Rosie the Riveter, roasted its remains on the flame pit and eventually dropped it out of the arena.
Qualified: Rosie The Riveter 2 & Basenji
Darkness vs Techno Trousers vs Mechadroid
Techno Trousers was the much slower of the three robots so it spent a majority of the fight being attacked by both Darkness and Mechadroid. Towards the end of the fight, Mechadroid tried to push Techno Trousers into the pit, but Darkness slammed into Mechadroid, pushing it in instead before eventually driving into the pit as well.
Qualified: Darkness & Techno Trousers
Round 2
Rosie The Riveter 2 vs Techno Trousers
Both robots started out slow and Rosie the Riveter tried to ram Techno Trousers with its spikes. Techno Trousers fired its hydraulic lance, sending Rosie the Riveter reeling. However, Techno Trousers' lance wouldn't recoil, leaving it weaponless as Rosie the Riveter got under Techno Trousers and carried it across the arena into the Corner Patrol Zone. Matilda, armed with her old chainsaw tail, entered the corner and attacked Techno Trousers. Techno Trousers managed to limp out of the CPZ and press the Disc Button but the house robots attacked it again, Matilda lifting Techno Trousers up and Dead Metal burying its saw into one of its legs. Techno Trousers continued to limp towards Rosie the Riveter but Rosie drove completely under Techno Trousers and slammed it into one side wall and slamming it into the other, bending Techno Trousers' lance. Dead Metal buried its saw into Techno Trousers again. Rosie the Riveter then pushed Techno Trousers into the Pit button, then, leaving its opponent beached on top of it, Rosie the Riveter pushed Techno Trousers towards the pit, eventually pushing it in.
Winner: Rosie The Riveter 2
Darkness vs Basenji
The fight began with both robots pushing each other around. Darkness then slammed into the side of Basenji, losing one of its own discs in the impact. By now, Basenji's wheels were starting to wobble and both of its left wheels eventually fell right off their axles, leaving Basenji immobile. Refbot counted Basenji out and Dead Metal buried its saw into its back.
Winner: Darkness
Final
Rosie The Riveter 2 vs Darkness
After a bit of maneuvering, both robots clashed in the center of the arena. Rosie the Riveter seemed to have more power and it slammed Darkness into the arena walls. Darkness escaped but ran into the angle grinders. Rosie the Riveter continued to push Darkness around, at one point driving completely under Darkness, breaking off its saw blade and bending its front. Rosie slammed into Darkness again and pushed it into Dead Metal's CPZ and the Pit Button. Darkness drove over a flame jet, causing its flags to catch fire. Rosie the Riveter pushed Darkness into another CPZ. Sir Killalot came in and so did Refbot and Dead Metal, the latter almost falling into the Pit. Sir Killalot picked up Darkness then dropped it. Rosie the Riveter slammed into the limping Darkness one last time just before time ran out.
Heat Winner: Rosie The Riveter 2
