Will Team Scutterbot be able to continue it's success for the 3rd time? Will a newcomer surprise us once again? LET HEAT G BEGIN!
Round 1[]
Spawn Again (13) vs Supernova vs Guzunderbot[]
House Robots: Matilda and Sgt Bash
Spawn Again drives forward and lands a flip on Guzunderbot who flips itself back over and attacks with the axe. Supernova chips one of the rookie's wedges with the spinning blade. Guzunderbot nails the Sri Lanka Machine with a shot from the hammer and gets flipped again by Spawn Again. In the process, Supernova clips off Guzunderbot's axe, leaving it unable to properly self-ride now. With the rookies stuck on their backs, Supernova drives up and nails it again with the spinning disc, doing great damage to the armor as Refbot begins to count Guzunderbot out. Spawn Again activates the pit release once the count reaches 10 and Matilda drives forward to attack the immobilized rookies but fails to notice the pit being released. As a result, Matilda slips and falls into said pit herself, leaving Spawn Again to flip the rookies onto the floor flipper instead. Cease is called after Guzunderbot gets humorously flipped by said floor flipper.
Eliminated: Guzunderbot
Mini Morg (29) vs Cerberus vs Warhog[]
House Robots: Matilda and Sgt. Bash
Warhog starts itself up spinning, or tries to anyway, as Mini Morg rams into Cerberus. Cerberus rams into Warhog before it can get up to top speed and the boar nearly gets unbalanced but is able to spin up again and nails Mini Morg's side. Cerberus rams again and gets nailed by the spinning Warhog getting it's side armor damaged from the blow, but causing the spinner to ricochet into the angle grinder and apparently causing it to stop moving. Mini Morg cautiously moved near it unsure if it was truly immobilized or not. It nudges it and decides to ram it into Sgt. Bash's CPZ and let the army tank like house robot torch it a bit while Refbot counts it out. Mini Morg activated the pit release to possibly pit the spinner, but Cerberus, having not noticed the pit being activated, had slipped in itself. Nonetheless, Warhog had already been immobilized.
Eliminated: Warhog
Round II[]
Spawn Again (13) vs Cerberus[]
House Robots: Shunt and Dead Metal
Cerberus drives backwards in hopes of using it's tail to club the 13th seeds. It does get in one hit but gets flipped right over. Cerberus' new scriemch flips it back over and it tries again to ram into the seeded robot. Cerberus gets flipped over again, this time into Dead Metal's CPZ and gets sliced up by the sawblade. Once it's free, Cerberus seems unable to move at first but eventually is able to get back up somehow coming back to life. However it gets flipped over once more before Cease is called. The judges rule for the more aggressive Spawn Again.
Winner: Spawn Again
Mini Morg (29) vs Supernova[]
House Robots: Dead Metal and Sir Killalot
As Supernova gets it's spinning disc up to speed, Mini Morg tries to ram into it's side and avoid the spinning weapon. It lifts Supernova up and tries to overturn it but loses it's grip and gets nailed with the disc, which breaks the axe on Mini Morg and does some damage to the rear armor. As Mini Morg tries to overturn it again, it gets nailed with the spinning disc again and it appears to slow down and begins to break down while Supernova delivers one more hit with the spinning disc and lets Refbot count the immobilized seed down. Supernova backed too close into Dead Metal's CPZ and it's backside gets sliced by the saw blade for a moment until cease is called.
Winner: Supernova
Heat Final[]
Spawn Again (13) vs Supernova[]
House Robots: Sir Killalot and Shunt
Spawn Again begins to drive up to Supernova before it could get it's weapon up to speed and flips it over. Supernova retaliates with a blow to the back of Spawn Again's armor, though in the process it drives too close to Shunt and gets a hit from the axe. Spawn Again drives up to Supernova and tries another flip, only to get hit with the disc again, but does get in the second flip. The seeds back away momentarily with Supernova speeding up to it and rips off one of the bars on the back of Spawn Again as well as another small gash. Spawn Again drives near the pit release button as Supernova charges to it, only to get flipped again on the side of the arena wall. Another flip sends Supernova right OoTA and sending Spawn Again to the series semi finals after a very close come from behind win...In fact it doesn't seem to be moving at all after the OoTA flip, either from damage or motor problems.
