Gauntlet

Robot the Bruce - Completed - Used it's much talked about brite strength to push the house robots back and made it into the End Zone.

Dreadnaught - Completed - It's huge weight gave it an advantage right from the start and it managed to force it's way past Shunt Dead Metal pushed them back but they got past Dead Metal and into the end zone. At the end of the run Dreadnaught started smoking, which put their place in the next round in doubt.

Wedgehog - 13.23m - In a rare move Wedgehog decided to take on the maze and successfully navigated it and looked promising but got impaled on the spikes just in front of the end zone.

Cruella - 10.15m - Good control got Cruella past Shunt but after that control seemed to become an issue and they couldn't get past the second set of skittles.

W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G. - 5.55m - W.Y.S.I.W.I.G. got stuck almost instantaneously on the ramp and in trying to attack it so did Shunt. They managed to escape into the maze but poor steering led to a disappionting finish.

Plunderbird 1 - 4.81m - Shunt had little difficulty pushing Plunderbird 1 onto the grill and spent the remainder of the time hacking into Plunderbird 1s outer shell.

Note: Dreadnaught made its repairs so Plunderbird 1 were eliminated

Eliminated: Plunderbird 1
