*I am not in any way trying to make fun of the above people*

"Tonight we decide who is indeed the Robot Wars Champion: Chaos 2 or Quarter Pounder. This battle shall be exciting. The best robots have come through and now only one will remain so let the final battle begin!" began Jonathan.

"From The United States, Quarter Pounder," announced Stuart.

An m&m shape, if you like with an axe on top, which acts as its srimech as well," recalled Jonathan.

"From Ipswich, Chaos 2," continued Stuart.

"Is the king dead or can he rise from the dead? His powerful CO2 flipper has tossed all other opposition out of the arena or at least the tournament," said Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Chaos 2 with Ian Swann at the controls along with George Francis and Richard Swann. Quarter Pounder with George Hazard at the controls. Our House Robots will be Dead Metal with his saw and pincers as well as Shunt with his scoop and axe," explained Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

 "A tough battle this should be. Both robots with a clash and Quarter Pounder's on his side! Don't think they can use their srimech here but they are trying to do so... and they do! Well done by George Hazard! Back to the battle we go and again QP is put on his side! Let's see if he can delight the crowd and myself with the srimech from the side! Chaos 2 certainly not helping out by pushing him around. Yes, indeed it has, QP! Big impact there, Quarter Pounder now in Shunt's CPZ, not a good place for someone wanting to be our tournament winner. Quarter Pounder escapes and is on the attack for Chaos 2. Oh goodness me, a double immobilization! Who's srimech will be successful, I wonder? Chaos struggling....struggling....and finally back over. Quarter Pounder....struggling, struggling... trying....failing. I think their srimech is out of reach of the arena wall! I think Chaos 2 have won! Eight....nine...ten! That's it, Chaos 2 are our champions of Robot Wars! Shunt and Dead Metal now attack the loser. Where is Shunt going with Quarter Pounder, going to activate the Pit, perhaps? Ooh, out of the arena through the side rail, not very much like Shunt, I think it was poor driving there. Nonetheless, Chaos 2 are the Robot Wars Champions!" shouted Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Well, cats always land on all fours, we have a champion, on Robot Wars! Bye-bye!" concluded Craig.

"We're down to our last battles of the tournament. Anto battles Lifter, Chaos 2 against All-Weather Tire Bot and the winners of those battles then face off," began Jonathan.

"From the UK, Anto," called Stuart.

"The tiny robot with probably the tiniest srimech I've ever seen," remarked Jonathan.

"From the United States, Lifter," continued Stuart.

"Very low design with an even lower ground clearance! So far no one seems to be able to get underneath him!" shouted Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Lifter with Carlo Bertoccini at the controls. And Anto with Craig at the controls. For House Robots tonight, we have the shoving capability of Shunt and alongside him is the jaws and saw of Dead Metal," explained Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Both competitors seeming to be a little tentative in this battle. Oh! Anto flipped! What power in that lifting arm by Carlo Bertoccini! Anto looking, searching, wanting, not getting the spot underneath Lifter, who flips him away. Oh dear, I don't think Anto has any help on his robot that would allow him to get underneath Lifter. Lifter tossing Anto once again. Anto out of the arena! Great stuff by Carlo!" commented Jonathan.

"Lifter  squishes the ant and goes zooming on!" declared Craig. *crowd cheers*

"So one into the last semi-final battle. Who will join him? We're going to find out!" stated Jonathan.

"From the United States, All-Weather Tire Bot" announced Stuart.

"I don't have a clue whether this bot will succeed but who knows? Chains on the side for weaponry and no srimech," noted Jonathan.

"From Ipswich, Chaos 2," added Stuart.

"So here's our current star for this battle. The immense CO2 flipper has tossed dozens out of the arena," recalled Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Chaos 2 with George Francis at the controls, Ian and Richard Swann with him. All-Weather Tire Bot with Travis Wood at the controls. In the arena, for House Robots, Sir Killalot with the blinking eyes and deadly arms. With him is Sgt Bash and his jaws and flame thrower," told Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"A tight battle here. Chaos 2 bumping and barging into Tire Bot but can't get underneath the ground clearance of TB. Both robots struggling here. Neither one really has any "helpers" if you like to turn the battle their direction. That's a good attack by Chaos 2. Chaos 2 in Bash's CPZ! Get out of there, Chaos, if you know it's good for you! House Robots can attack if your robot enters their CPZ or Corner Patrol Zone. Goodness me! How did Chaos 2 end up on it's back? There's nothing on the front of TB that would create such a stunt, at least I didn't think so but somehow there is! Chaos 2 back over and into the arena side wall goes TB. Chaos 2 finally in and underneath TB. Ooh! Nearly lost him there. Back into Sgt Bash's CPZ and (laughing) Sgt. Bash has been toppled! That's the end of him and is it the end of Tire Bot? He's on his side against the wall! Refbot having a look. Chaos 2 through! Killalot all alone to finish off Tire Bot, not sure he would mind it, though. He's trying to right poor Bash and could he....could he.....do it? Not quite. Killalot moving Tire Bot, activating the Pit but first, the tire must, uh, fly, so to speak. Now for the burial. Go on, Killalot. Put TB in to Oblivion. There we go," recacted Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"What a fantastic battle, Chaos 2 creates too much of a storm for Tire Bot to handle. They go storming on!" confirmed Craig. *crowd cheers*

"So our last semi-final battle is Chaos 2 against Lifter," concluded Jonathan.

"From Ipswich, Chaos 2," called Stuart.

"Will this former champion regain his title back? We'll see in this battle!" exclaimed Jonathan.

"From the United States, Lifter," continued Stuart.

"Our other supreme flipper. Who's moving on to our championship?" read Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Former champ Chaos 2 with once again George Francis at the controls. Lifter with Carlo Bertoccini at the controls. For House Robots, we have Shunt with the axe and scoop. And with him is Matilda," stated Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Lifter straight away in underneath Chaos 2 and flipping him! What a spectacular start by Carlo! Chaos 2 struggling and back over. Chaos 2 on the attack but Lifter away. Chaos 2 in peril against our arena wall! This could be it! How did Chaos 2 stay in? Chaos 2 back on the attack with a crash into the wall for Lifter. Chaos 2, trying to be a little bit, um, a copycat shall we say? They nearly had Lifter out! Chaos 2 in trouble as Lifter moves to Shunt's CPZ! Chaos 2 trying to self right, is pushed back down by Shunt's axe. What's this? Lifter's out of the arena! Chaos 2 have won it!" shouted Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"An amazing battle! Chaos 2 moves to the grand final! *crowd cheers* Well, cats can land on all fours, we can dish it out, on Robot Wars! Bye-bye!," finished Craig.

"Tonight's battles pit a grudge match between Chaos 2 and Razer, All-Weather Tire Bot against Alpha Raptor's Revenge and Anto with Wheelchair Bot," began Jonathan.

"From Ipswich, Chaos 2," called Stuart.

"One of the best in the competition, Series 3 and 4 UK champions," remarked Jonathan.

"From Bornemouth, Razer," continued Stuart.

"The elegant but deadly Razer. The hydraulic crusher punctures all that oppose but the srimech isn't quick," noted Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Chaos 2 with George Francis at the controls. And Razer with Ian Lewis at the controls. For House Robots we have the bulldozer blade and axe of Shunt and our deadly mistress, Matilda," told Jonathan.

"Chaos 2 immediately on the attack with Razer. Razer not doing well for trying to slide underneath Chaos 2. Chaos 2 on the attack again, pushing Razer to Matilda. What's happened to our World Champ out there? Oh dear, Razer's on his srimech and can't use it. Matilda has pushed Razer further into the corner. Chaos 2 with a final shove and Refbot finds a fallen robot. That's it for Razer. Ian Lewis not happy about this at all. Shunt opens the Pit and poor Razer is moved to the Flipper. How far will this bird fly, I wonder? Not far at all it would seem. Matilda with the burial. Chaos 2 through!" shouted Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Well, Chaos 2 causes Razer's demise and goes moving on!" declared Craig. *crowd cheers*

"Now for round 2," requested Jonathan.

"From the UK, Anto," called Stuart.

"Almost ant-sized with two very small wheels and a spinning disk, possibly too small to see!" noted Jonathan.

"From the United States. Wheelchair Bot," continued Stuart.

"Certainly wheel-chair shaped with two large wheels and a front scoop," read Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Anto with Craig at the controls and Wheelchair Bot with George Hazard at the controls. To add to the mayhem we welcome our House Robots Dead Metal and Sgt Bash," added Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"A slam from both competitors. Wheelchair Bot flipping Anto. Anto back onto his feet. Anto flipped again and using its srimech. Oh, goodness me! Wheelchair Bot has been flipped by Anto! I didn't think an ant could flip an elephant, did you? Anto underneath Wheelchair Bot and slamming him into Dead Metal's CPZ! Dead Metal trying an attack on Wheelchair Bot. (Laughing) He's stuck underneath Wheelchair Bot! Wheelchair Bot doesn't seem to be able to move well, though and oh, dear me, Wheelchair Bot out of the arena!" exclaimed Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Well, the elephant beaten by an ant, Anto goes marching on!" confirmed Craig. *crowd cheers*

"Okay. One battle left," stated Jonathan.

"From the United States, All-Weather Tire Bot," announced Stuart.

"A tire with chains on the outside. Sure hope it doesn't get a flat!" commented Jonathan.

"From the United States, Alpha Raptor's Revenge," stated Stuart.

"Very protective outer shell, err ramming force is supposedly their weaponry but there's no srimech," remarked Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"All-Weather Tire Bot with Travis Wood at the controls. And Alpha Raptor's Revenge with Chuck Pitzer at the controls. In the arena for House Robots is Sir Killalot with the lance and pincers and Matilda with the chainsaw and flipping tusks," explained Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Neither robot have any sort of wedge or flipper to help them out so I'm not sure who's winning this one. Oh, dear me! Both robots are immobilized! They must be reset! Alright, back to the battle, and again dual immobilization! This is unheard of! We had this in an earlier battle so we should be okay now. Both robots on the attack and once more another double immobilization! What's going here? I'm sure the Roboteers are as baffled as I am over this matter! Surely this can't happen again! Oh goodness me, it has! Are we actually going to get a battle here besides the fight to constantly reset them? At last, Alpha Raptor's Revenge flipped over. They won't be getting their revenge now! Killalot is trying to pick up ARR, who appears to be bigger than Killalot! Matilda opens the Pit, which yawns for a victim and ARR, you are it so go on, Killalot, put him away," reacted Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"What a battle! Definitely a first for the books. All-Weather Tire Bot goes rolling on! *crowd cheers* While it's true that we didn't have TV during the dinosaurs, we have the best, on Robot Wars. Bye-Bye!" confirmed Craig.

"We have yet another 6 robots itching to dominate tonight as Razer battles Forklift, Alpha Raptor's Revenge against Flammin' Hot Bot and Lifter battles Mauler II," began Jonathan.

"From Bornemouth, Razer," called Stuart.

"Our reptilian robot with the crushing beak and righting wings, sure to leave the opponent immobilized," recalled Jonathan.

"From the United States, Forklift," continued Stuart.

"Two-wheel drive, sort of a forklift on the rear a wedge at the front but exposed tires.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Razer with Ian Lewis at the controls and Fork Lift with Gage Cauchois at the controls. For House Robots, Sgt Bash and Shunt," analyzed Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Forklift on the attack, underneath Razer. Razer away and attacking Forklift! Back and forth they go, when they'll change even I don't know. Razer slams Forklift into the wall and is he rolling over, I wonder? No, just getting stuck on the arena wall. Refbot coming over to check. Nope, doesn't look like Forklift's getting out of there. Now for the Pit, Forklift, you are no longer in this battle. Bash and Shunt with the shove into the Pit," explained Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"What a battle. First Forklift in control, then Razer, then Forklift again but Razer goes moving on! *crowd cheers* Now for round 2," recapped Craig.

"From the United States, Alpha Raptor's Revenge, announced Stuart.

"The chassis and design of another robot. Not much weaponry to speak of, nor is there a righting mechanism," noted Jonathan.

"From the United Kingdom, Flammin' Hot Bot," stated Stuart.

"Two-wheel drive, flame at the rear and a wedge-type design at the front. Weak design, though," read Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Alpha Raptor's Revenge with Chuck Pitzer at the controls and Flammin' Hot Bot with the Diotor boys at the controls. For House Robots we have Matilda and Sir Killalot," explained Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"An early clash, a crash from both robots. Not really able to do much beyond that are they? Oh goodness me, Flammin' Hot Bot is on his roof! They don't have a srimech, which is unfortunate for them because they're out. There's Refbot now counting the turtle robot out. Matilda activates the Pit, then shoves FHB to the Flipper. How far will this one go? Pretty far, actually as it landed close to the Pit. Killalot with the ,err sort of burial. Not quite in there, Killalot. There's the burial," said Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"A quick but exciting battle as Alpha Raptor's Revenge put out the flames of Flammin' Hot Bot to go marching on! *crowd cheers* Round 3 starts now," reacted Craig.

"From the United States, Lifter," called Stuart.

"Very low ground clearance. Has an actuated lifting arm but no srimech that we know of," read Jonathan.

 "From the United States, Mauler II," continued Stuart.

"Built from the Tilford boys. Fast spinner but no srimech," recalled Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Mauler II with Morgan Tilford at the controls. And Lifter with Carlo Bertoccini at the controls. For House Robots, we have for the only time tonight, Dead Metal and with him is Shunt," stated Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"A flip of the lifting arm from Lifter but no one is on top of the arm. Oh goodness me, they have their lifting arm inside Mauler II's body! (laughing) What are they doing? They look like some kind of forklift. Can they get them out? Almost there, almost there but no. How did Mauler escape? Ah well, doesn't much matter now as he has been flipped over, Mauler II and is out of the arena," exclaimed Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"That was a fantastic battle. Lifter rose Mauler II out of the competition and goes skyrocketing on! *crowd cheers* Well, it's dangerous to play with electrical cords, it's amazing to fight, on Robot Wars. Bye-bye!" finished Craig.

"Tonight, the carnage continues! Chaos 2 battles X-Terminator, Bender against Anto and Cannible fights Quarter Pounder," began Jonathan.

"From Ipswich, Chaos 2," called Stuart.

"Our flipper fiend has its usual deadly flipper and 2-wheel drive. Easily shoved, though," analyzed Jonathan.

"From Belmont, X-Terminator," announced Stuart.

"An opponent of Chaos 2 in earlier wars. It has the flipper at the front and srimechs on the side and top," recalled Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Chaos 2 with George Francis at the controls. And X-Terminator with Marlon Prichard at the controls. In the arena for House Robots is Shunt and with him, Dead Metal," explained Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Chaos 2 with the early flip on X-Terminator. X-Terminator on the attack but Chaos 2 the quicker to flip. XT with its flip  and is Chaos 2 in trouble, I wonder? No, back over is Chaos 2. Chaos 2 takes XT to Dead Metal. XT in trouble, can they free themselves? Yes, indeed they can and ooh can they flip Dead Metal? Nope, not quite. Chaos 2 again in peril! Are our stars out? Chaos 2 free. Chaos 2 on the attack, flipping XT again. XT self-righting. Chaos 2, into XT, activating the Pit. Who will fall to oblivion? Wait, is XT stuck on the arena wall? It's not moving well. Chaos 2 trying to help them? XT free from the wall. Chaos 2 in underneath XT to Dead Metal.  XT on the attack to Dead Metal. Will he flip this time? Not this time, either, XT! XT flipping Chaos near the Pit! Chaos flipping XT near the Pit! What an exciting battle this has been! The judges are going to have to decide!" exclaimed Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"While the judges make up their minds, let's review the highlights," requested Craig.

"Chaos 2 with multiple attacks on XT. XT flips Chaos and gets him stuck twice," recapped Jonathan.

"Who goes through?" asked Jonathan.

"The judges have made their decision....they've gone for CHAOS 2! Chaos spread havoc on X-Terminator, they move on! *crowd cheers* Now for round 2." shouted Craig.

"From the United States, Bender" stated Stuart.

"A very strong blade on top with 2-wheel drive. No srimech, though," read Jonathan.

"From somewhere in the UK, Anto," continued Stuart.

"Small, two-wheel design with a rotary disc at the front," noted Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Anto, with Craig at the controls and Bender with Eric Stolker at the controls. From our roulette of House Robots, we have Matilda and Sgt. Bash," continued Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Bender on the attack on Anto. Anto away and on the attack on Bender and goodness me, both robots are flipped! Anto still mobile, though. Refbot having a look. There's the countdown. Bender, this is goodbye, your days in the ring are through for this wars. Bash and Matilda have now put you out of your misery,"

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Well, Bender wasn't bent but he was beaten by an ant. Anto goes marching on!" shared Craig. *crowd cheers*

"Round 3 with Cannible and Quarter Pounder," stated Jonathan.

"From the United States, Quarter Pounder," called Stuart.

"With a weaponry of  an overhead hammer, that will definitely pound the meat out of other robots!" read Jonathan.

"From the United States, Cannible," announced Stuart.

"Invertible, 2-wheel drive but exposed tires," commented Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Quarter Pounder with Patrick Campbell at the controls. And Cannible with George Hazard at the controls. For House Robots, we have Sir Killalot and with him is Dead Metal," explained Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Both robots on the attack. Oh, Quarter Pounder's on his side! He's pretty well immobilized! Guess not as Cannible a little generous pushes Quarter Pounder forward. Poor Refbot seems to have somehow ended up on his side and is watching from another angle. Quarter pounder wisely using his srimech. QP in underneath Cannible and takes him to Dead Metal. Cannible free now. Oh, goodness me, both robots flipped over! Doesn't really matter for Cannible, they can run either way but QP self-rights again. Cannible attacking QP, QP attacking Cannible, what a close battle this is! Oh, I may have spoken to soon as that's Cannible going out of the arena!" shouted Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Cannible not eaten but beaten, Quarter Pounder storms forward! *crowd cheers* They say we've had many civil wars, we have robot mayhem, on Robot Wars, bye-bye!" concluded Craig.

"Okay, so here's our line up for tonight: D.E.A.T.H. takes on Mauler II, I Maul U takes on All Weather Tire Bot and Grappler battles Alpha Raptor's Revenge. First is D.E.A.T.H vs. Mauler II," began Jonathan.

"From The United States, D.E.A.T.H.," called Stuart.

"Well I certainly hope his performance doesn't spell death for him as he has two-wheel drive, a powerful cutting disk and runs both ways up," noted Jonathan.

"From Portola Valley, California: Mauler II," continued Stuart.

"Another spinner, supposedly bigger and better than their smaller counterpart. It can't self-right though," remarked Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"D.E.A.T.H. with Jim Smentowski at the controls. The deadly Mauler II with General Morgan Tilford at the controls. For House Robots, we have Shunt and Dead Metal," analyzed Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Mauler II in underneath D.E.A.T.H.. DEATH away. Mauler II in underneath DEATH again and can he put DEATH out? He's certainly trying but DEATH escapes. Oh, goodness me, both robots are immobilized! They must be separated! Okay, we have a battle again as DEATH is flipped by Mauler II but DEATH can run either way. Good hit by DEATH as he launches Mauler II into the air. Another double immobilization!? This battle is immense! In all my years, never have I seen two robots immobilize each other twice, let alone in the same battle! Mauler II again underneath DEATH, ooh and he found a new way to shove DEATH around. DEATH onto his side! I think that's the end of DEATH! What a battle this has been! DEATH certainly lived up to his name, ironically. DEATH is dead and the House Robots are out. Shunt moves DEATH to the flipper, activates the Pit, and Dead Metal puts DEATH into his grave, the Pit of Oblivion," commented Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Well, DEATH met an untimely end, Mauler II goes tearing on!" announced Craig. *crowd cheers*

"Now for round 2," stated Jonathan.

"From the United States, I Maul U," declared Stuart.

"A rear wedge and a large disc at the front, runs upside down but very high ground clearance, though," recalled Jonathan.

"From the United States, All Weather Tire Bot," called Stuart.

"Not much more than a tire with chains on it for weaponry. No srimech or thick armor," stated Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"I Maul U with Steven Bige at the controls. And of course All-Weather Tire Bot with Travis Wood at the controls. For House Robots, we welcome Sir Killalot, our knight of the realm and with him is Matilda, the mistress of mayhem," explained Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"All Weather Tire Bot in underneath the blade of I Maul U. Quite amazing, isn't it? The fact that Tire Bot can fit underneath I Maul U's blade! Tire Bot in underneath and pushing Maul U to Matilda's CPZ, where Maul U has lost his back wedge! What power by the Wood crew! Tire Bot has now flipped Maul U over, how did that happen? Maul U back over. *Laughs* Maul U is on top of the arena wall! Killalot wants to play and flips Maul U over. Goodness me, Tire Bot threw Maul U out of the arena! What a finale this has been!" exclaimed Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Maul U got thrown out and Tire Bot goes rolling on!" recapped Craig. *crowd cheering*

"Now for the final battle, Grappler and Alpha Raptor's Revenge," continued Jonathan.

"From the UK, Grappler," announced Stuart.

"A design straight out of one of those CAT machines, only smaller of course. A front scoop-like weaponry but no srimech," remarked Jonathan.

"From the United States: Alpha Raptor's Revenge," added Stuart.

"Virtually a stripped-down version of another robot. No srimech here either," said Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Alpha Raptor's Revenge with Chuck Pitzer at the controls. Grappler with Alec Aizner at the controls. In the arena for House Robots, Sgt Bash with the flame, and with him is the axe and scoop of Shunt," told Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Alpha Raptor's Revenge clearly the heavier and bigger of the two. What's Grappler doing out there? He seems to be trying to grab ARR. Not sure how that's going to happen and of course he is flipped onto his side and already immobilized. ARR having fun pushing the far tinier Grappler around. Grappler being helped by his opponent? Quite the generous offer, I think by Chuck Pitzer. ARR somehow tossed into the air. No idea how such a tiny robot can fling a much bigger and heavier robot into the air like that, do you? Grappler now on his side, barely able to move. ARR slamming Grappler hard into the wall, don't think he'll get out of there, though he's trying. Refbot's having a look.  Grappler trying to use his weaponry to free himself but it doesn't seem to be working. He's out, Alpha Raptor's Revenge through. Well, Shunt has freed him without any problem! Grappler now on the Flipper. It's over for their team, that's for sure. Bash with the shove into the Pit," analyzed Jonathan.

"What a battle, Grappler couldn't get a grip on Alpha Raptor's Revenge. Alpha Raptor's Revenge goes fighting on! *crowd cheers* Well, we all know how a lion roars, watch how robots fight, on Robot Wars, bye-bye!" finished Craig.

"Tonight, another 3 competitors test their wits against one another. Anto takes on S.A.W, U Lose tries to shove X-Terminator and Bender attacks RA," began Jonathan.

"From Buckinghamshire, Anto," called Stuart.

"A very small design with a cleverly hidden saw at the front. It's easily flippable and the tires are exposed," noted Jonathan.

"From the United States, S.A.W.," added Stuart.

"Certainly living up to his name with a rather large cutting blade at the front but is easily flippable and also has exposed tires," realized Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"There's Anto with Craig at the controls. And there is S.A.W. with George Hazard at the controls. In the arena for House Robots is our mistress of mayhem, Matilda and Dead Metal," analyzed Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Anto bumping into S.A.W. I'm not too sure he can get underneath, Anto. His design doesn't seem to be able to handle S.A.W.'s unusual design. Oh goodness me, both robots are flipped! Back over they go. Anto flipped S.A.W. What a flip it was! S.A.W. back over and attacking Anto. Anto underneath and shoves S.A.W out of the arena!" shouted Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"S.A.W. got cut from the competition. Anto goes marching on!" declared Craig. *crowd cheers*

"With Anto going through, its U Lose against X-Terminator," confirmed Jonathan.

"From Belmont, X-Terminator," called Stuart.

"Another oddly-shaped robot with a flipper at the front and srimechs on the sides," read Jonathan.

"From the United States, U Lose," continued Stuart.

"A partial wedge design with a lifer at the front. Exposed tires and slow weaponry could pose a problem," analyzed Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"X-Terminator with Marlon Prichard at the controls and U Lose with George Hazard at the controls. For House Robots, we have Sir Killalot with the lance and pincers and joining him tonight is Sgt Bash," told Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"U Lose with a lift underneath X-Terminator. Can't seem to flip him, though. U Lose with another go but X-Terminator in underneath and pushes him to the lair of Sir Killalot. *Laughing* Both robots in peril, X-Terminator by Killalot and U Lose by X-Terminator! What a terrific show by these competitors! X-Terminator free and away. What's happened to U Lose? They seem to be perched on our arena side wall! Is X-Terminator trying to help them out, I wonder? Nope, not today says X-Terminator and shoves him out of the arena," commented Jonathan.

"X-Terminator exterminates U Lose and moves on!" announced Craig. *crowd cheers*

"Final bout of the day featuring RA and Bender, two US competitors," stated Jonathan.

"From Burbank, California, Bender," said Stuart.

"I certainly hope that blade isn't going to be the one bending in this bout," pondered Jonathan.

"From somewhere in the United States, RA," continued Stuart.

"Ra! Ra! Ra! Not too sure it'll last very long, though" concluded Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"RA with Solomon Spector at the controls and for Bender, Jim Snook at the controls. For House Robots, we have Shunt and with him, Matilda," recalled Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"A slam from both robots and both are upside down! We must reset them! Okay both back over and Bender with a slam and...what is RA doing, rolling away? RA somehow back over. Both robots away. RA flips Bender?! How was this achieved? Oh dear, not my expectation for RA being the winner of the bout. Refbot counts RA out, Matilda activates the Pit, and Shunt shoves him down," analyzed Jonathan.

"Well, RA gets to have a hurrah as they defeat Bender and go spinning on! *crowd cheers* There are stars with red-hot cores, we have major carnage, on Robot Wars, bye-bye!," finished Craig.

"We've got Hypnodisc and Cannible, Flammin' Hot Bot against Spin2Win and Quarter Pounder V Swinging Knife," began Jonathan.

"From Middleton Cheney, Hypnodisc," announced Stuart.

"The destructive Hypnodisc with that massive rotary disk. It's ground clearance is quite high, though," noted Jonathan.

"From the United States: Cannible," continued Stuart.

"A cannon-shaped weapon, runs both ways up but exposed tires could pose a problem," added Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Hypnodisc with the Rose boys, Dave Rose at the controls. Cannible with George Hazard at the controls. For House Robots we have the jaws and saw of Dead Metal as well as the deadly arms and crude face of Sir Killalot," analyzed Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Who's marching on? Hypnodisc in underneath Cannible and into the wall but is Hypnodisc immobilized already, I wonder? Cannible certainly isn't. Hypnodisc free from the wall. Cannible in underneath Hypnodisc and puts him up against the wall! I think Hypnodisc is immobilized! They can't self-right from there, I don't think. Nope, not going to happen for the Rose boys, they're on their back now. Refbot having a look. Goodbye, Hypnodisc, may your destructive force return someday...........not today, though! Cannible through! Killalot will now bring you, dear Hypnodisc to your final resting place, or rusting place I should say, the Pit of Oblivion!" commented Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Well, Cannible made a meal out of Hypnodisc. They go marching on!" recalled Craig. *crowd cheers*

"Alright, Cannible through. Next is Flammin' Hot Bot and Spin2Win," said Jonathan.

"From the United Kingdom, Flammin' Hot Bot," announced Stuart.

"Well he's certainly hot under the collar with that rear flame. Also has a front wedge-like weapon but not too sure the body will hold, though," explained Jonathan.

"From the United States, Spin2Win," added Stuart.

"A simple wedge design, runs on two wheels and upside down, sturdy construction but exposed tires. For House Robots, we have the flames of Sgt Bash and the mischief of mistress Matilda," told Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Flammin' Hot Bot with the builders of Diotor at the controls. Spin2Win with the Rose boys once again at the controls," stated Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Flammin' Hot Bot in underneath the quicker Spin2Win. Spin2Win away. Spin2Win searching for any source of opening but Flammin' Hot Bot certainly not allowing that sort of thing to get by. Flammin' Hot Bot again slipping under Spin2Win's rather low ground clearance and flipping him over. Doesn't really matter, though for Spin2Win, except that his wedge raises his ground clearance. Ooh, Flammin' Hot Bot being shoved by Spin2Win, who has him pinned against the wall! Spin2Win away again. Flammin' Hot Bot in underneath and throwing Spin2Win OUT OF THE ARENA! Goodness me! Flammin' Hot Bot through," exclaimed Jonathan.

"Flammin' Hot Bot proved to be too hot for Spin2Win, they go burning on! *crowd cheering*" declared Craig.

"Now for round 3," called Jonathan.

" From the United States, Swinging Knife," announced Stuart.

"Two-wheel drive, has a knife-like weaponry at the rear and a wedge scoop at the front," read Jonathan.

"From the United States, Quarter Pounder," continued Stuart.

"It's no hamburger, that's for sure but it possesses a hammer-like weapon, though," analyzed Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"There's Swinging Knife with Christian Carlberg at the controls, and Quarter Pounder with Patrick Campbell.  In the arena for House Robots, we have the scoop and axe of Shunt. With him is the pincers and saw of Dead Metal," told Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Swinging Knife uses his wedge to hopefully flip Quarter Pounder over. Quarter Pounder, uh, striking the floor with his axe. Swinging Knife flips Quarter Pounder over. Now Quarter Pounder does have a srimech, the self-righting mechanism but wait, is Swinging Blade immobilized? He's trying to use Shunt to flip him over, but it's obviously not working. Okay, both robots mobile again and Swinging Knife takes on Shunt and flips him! Shunt, remember Swinging Knife and get your revenge! Quarter Pounder's like a pinball as he bounces off our arena walls! Swinging Knife is back over now, not sure how he accomplished that, really. Quarter Pounder in underneath Swinging Knife and throws him out! What a fantastic battle this has been!" commented Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Well, the knife stopped swinging as Quarter Pounder made a sandwich out of Swinging Knife. Quarter Pounder through! *crowd cheering* Some houses have nice dining room floors, we have the nicest battles, on Robot Wars, bye-bye!" concluded Craig.

"Tonight's lineup features Chaos 2 against BULLdozer, the spinner Mauler up against Lifter and finally Your Worst Knightmare vs. Forklift," began Jonathan.

"From Ipswich: Chaos 2," called Stuart.

"Series 3 and 4 UK champions. Their CO2 flipper is extremely powerful but it does have its limits and Chaos is shuntable," noted Jonathan.

"From the United States, BULLdozer," continued Stuart.

"Not to sure about it being able to shove bulls around but it has good traction and has a bulldozer blade for a weapon," remarked Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Here is Chaos 2 with George Francis at the controls along with Ian and Richard Swann. BULLdozer with George Hazard at the controls. In the arena for House Robots, we have Sgt Bash with the flame and Dead Metal with the blade and jaws," explained Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"BULLdozer uses his scoop-like weaponry to get under Chaos 2. Chaos 2 away, good move by George Francis. BULL in underneath Chaos 2 and slams him into the wall. Chaos 2 back over and attacking BULL. Can't seem to get underneath BULL, Chaos 2, but BULL does and nearly throws Chaos 2 out again! Another lucky break for Chaos! Chaos 2 underneath and FLIPS BULL ONTO HIS SIDE! What tremendous effort by Chaos 2! Now BULL can self-right but I don't think so from here. Refbot doesn't think so either as he counts down. That's it, Chaos 2 the winners! Dead Metal out quickly as he opens the Pit. Bash, get out of that Pit! Whew, that was close. Let's see how far this bulldozer flies. Ooh! Nearly out of the arena, goodness me! Bash puts an end to BULL's misery," exclaimed Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Alright, Chaos 2 through to the next round. Next is Mauler and Lifter," requested Craig.

"From Belmont California: Lifter," announced Stuart.
"Certainly lives up to his name. He has wedge skirts around the perimeter and the actuated lifting arm," noted Jonathan.

"From Portola Valley, California: Mauler," continued Stuart.

"A spin bot with err side chisels as an aid for the weaponry," recalled Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"There's Mauler with the Tilford crew with Morgan Allan at the controls. That's Lifer with Carlo Bertoccini at the controls. For the House Robots, we have the knight of the realm, Sir Killalot and here to push and shove is Shunt," commented Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Lifer attempts a flip on the spinner. Where would it land, I wonder?. Lifer seems to have an idea as he flips Mauler but Mauler appears to disagree as he uses his new srimech. No, no, says Lifter. Mauler's on his side! I think that's the end of him. What a shame, he could've put up quite the fight. Now all that's left is to put the spinner on his resting place. We know where he'll land, the Pit of Oblivion! Mauler out and so are the House Robots. I wonder, is the ground clearance going to be too much for our knight of the realm? Shunt's trying to help out but it doesn't seem to be working. Oh dear! Is Killalot immobilized? How on Earth did he end up that way? Shunt gives Killalot a helping shove. Mauler is now being pushed to the Flipper. Alright, Shunt, put him where he belongs, the Pit," told Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Now for Round 3 between Your Worst Knightmare and Forklift," stated Craig.

"From the United States, Forklift," added Stuart.

"A wedge design with a forklift in the rear but exposed tires could mean trouble," remarked Jonathan.

"From the United States, Your Worst Knightmare," continued Stuart.

"A strong blade and the ability to run either way, let's hope it doesn't have its worst nightmare," analyzed Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"Here is Your Worst Knightmare with Julia Young, Joshua Howard and Robert Jones. There's Forklift with Gage Cauchois at the controls. In the CPZ's we have Matilda, our mistress of mayhem and Sgt. Bash, our lieutenant of Robot Wars," said Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"A push, a shove, in Robot Wars, there is no love! A good match between these two drivers. Oh! Your Worst Knightmare is out of the arena!" shouted Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Well, the knights of the past fought with swords, we fight robots, on Robot Wars, bye-bye!" finished Craig.

"Okay, so here's the lineup for tonight: First up is Panic Attack against Wheelchair bot, next is Wheely Big Cheese and Pussycat and finally is Razer and Angler," began Jonathan.

"From England, Panic Attack," called Stuart.

"A typical wedge design with yellow and black stripes and electrically powered lifting forks," recalled Jonathan.

"From the United States: Wheelchair Bot," continued Stuart.

"Two-wheel drive, wedge design but the tires are exposed," noted Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"There's Panic Attack with Kevin Pritchard and Jamie McGarry. And there's Wheelchair Bot with George Hazard at the controls. In the arena for the House Robots: Shunt, with the axe and scoop and Sir Killalot with the overall nasty look," added Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Wheelchair Bot on the aggressive side, getting underneath Panic Attack. Is Panic Attack immobilized I wonder? Oooh, WB pushes Panic Attack into Shunt's CPZ! Rebot coming out to have a look! It looks like Panic Attack is immobilized as Refbot is counting him out! Shunt opens the Pit and where are they taking them? Ah, to the Flipper. Killalot and Shunt are going to put poor Panic Attack out of his misery but (laughing)Shunt's in there as well!" commented Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Alright, time for round 2 with Pussycat and Wheely Big Cheese," stated Craig.

"From Langport, in Somerset: Wheely Big Cheese," announced Stuart.

"His flipper is certainly wheely wheely big, that's for sure as he has wheely wheely big wheels too!" said Jonathan.

"From Gloucester: Pussycat," continued Stuart.

"The cat with 9 lives and a deadly scratch to boot!" added Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"There's Wheely Big Cheese with Roger Plant, Jon McGugan and Murray Wharf. And there's Pussycat with Stuart Barnwell, Amanda Barnwell, Roger Barnwell. The House Robots for this match are Matilda with the tusks and chainsaw as well as Dead Metal with the 3000 RPM saw and jaws," explained Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"Wheely Big Cheese with an early flip. Pussycat uses its srimech. WBC brings Pussycat to Matilda! Oh, looks like Pussycat's got ten lives as it slips away! WBC with yet another flip and Pussycat proving that it can always land on its feet as it flips back over again. Pussycat smartly activates the pit and wait a sec, Pussycat's on his side! Oh dear, it looks like its lives have run out! Refbot has a look and it's counting Pussycat out! So the cheese is through and the bots get their meal. Matilda pushes the cat onto the Flipper. Guess it wants to see the cat fly! I'm not so sure this cat will fly well, do you? It certainly does fly on our arena Flipper, though! Dead Metal with a shove into the Pit," reacted Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"\Now, onto Round 3 with Razer and Angler," requested Craig.

"From Bornemoth, Razer," announced Stuart.

 "The part bird, part reptile, all machine! It's got a puncturing beak which has shown to be quite the threat. It does have a slow srimech, though," read Jonathan.

"From the United States, Angler," continued Stuart.

"A four-wedged bot with a lifting...err...ram. Cannot self-right though," told Jonathan.

"Roboteers, standby," requested Stuart.

"There's Razer with Ian Lewis at the controls, Simon Scott and Vincent Blood. And here we have Angler with Carlo Bertoccini at the controls. For the House Robots, we have the quick and light Shunt and the deadly and heavy Sir Killalot," added Jonathan.

"3! 2! 1! ACTIVATE!" stated Stuart.

"The deadly Razer against the tough Angler! A clash in the arena with no damage done.  Razor on the attack and is flipped over! Goodness me, both robots are immobilized! Razer using his srimech and we have a battle again! Razor flips Angler over and it is over! Refbot counts him out and Razer goes through! Where will a dead robot go first? Killalot thinks he'll put him on the Flipper! Let's see how far we go! Oh my goodness! That flip was immense! Shunt activates the pit and the two of them finish the job," exclaimed Jonathan.

"CEASE!" requested Stuart.

"Well, there aren't always the greatest swinging doors but there's always the best, on Robot Wars, bye-bye," finished Craig.
