Anti Spin vs. Amnesia vs. Fragmentor vs. Ringwraith(Amnesia "forgot" the deadline () so three remain...)3…2…1…ACTIVATE!Fragmentor starts revving up its motorbike powered flywheel and boy can you hear it! Ringwraith also starts spinning up and Anti Spin moves into the picture also, feeling confident against two spinner robots… And we’re away with Fragmentor flying across the arena and slamming its flywheel into Anti Spin causing absolutely no damage at all and starts spinning away in circles across the arena. Ringwraith also tries its luck at Anti Spin but again no results. Fragmentor comes in for another attack this time on the wheel of Ringwraith shearing it completely off the axle and causing Ringwraith to bounce down onto the floor utterly useless! Fragmentor feels like some more destruction and zooms into Anti Spin once more, flying across the arena involuntarily. However it quickly regains control and manages to get another perfect attack onto the remaining wheel of Ringwraith and it comes flying off too! The bot looks dangerous and proves it too by finally putting a scar in the Dyneema skin of Anti Spin. 8…9…10…OUT! Ringwraith looks a battered sight sat in the middle of the arena with no movement what so ever. CEASE!The impressive looking Fragmentor and Anti Spin go through!

SRIMECH Not Included vs. Glasgow Kiss vs. Ankle Biter The Second vs. Shovearound 2
3…2…1…ACTIVATE!
It seems a while since we’ve had a complete melee of four robots so lets make it a good one! All four being fairly nippy all go their separate ways to attack. Glasgow Kiss and Shovearound 2 appear to be teaming up for this fight as Glasgow Kiss immediately drove over to Ankle Biter and Shovearound too SRIMECH Not Included… The Glasgow hammer comes thumping down onto the top of Ankle Biter’s 10mm Titanium and puts a little dent in the top. Matt immediately reacts turning and slamming the spinning drum hard into the side of Glasgow Kiss causing some damage and flipping it over! Meanwhile Shovearound 2 is chasing SRIMECH Not Included around trying to get under the skirts with its lifting forks, which would mean game over for the axeless Beta. Glasgow Kiss self rights easily with one stroke of the hammer and also manages to get another blow onto the top of Ankle Biter and starts pushing it around the arena. SRIMECH Not Included then comes racing across the arena straight into the pit release tyre and the pit lowers… Glasgow Kiss sees its opportunity and manages to turn Ankle Biter around and towards the pit! But Matt manages to get another vital blow in with the drum and gets Glasgow Kiss right over onto its back again. SRIMECH Not Included now comes in to interrupt and barges into Glasgow Kiss hitting it dangerously close to the pit of oblivion! Shovearound 2 chases through the pack and is unlucky enough to get caught by a blow from the Ankle Biter weaponry sending it arse over tit also. SRIMECH Not Included comes charging back in again and bumps into Glasgow Kiss sending it into the pit! The tie died! (Sorry for that) One down one to go but who will it be… Shovearound 2 comes back into life and manages to slide its forks under Ankle Biter The Second that seemed to have fallen asleap. The actuators kick into action and Ankle Biter is raised into the air. Shovearound 2 starts slowly turning Ankle Biter towards the pit and starts moving it towards the pit. Spotting a ticket into the next round SRIMECH Not Included comes in behind Shovearound 2 and helps push Ankle Biter into the pit shortly followed by Shovearound.
CEASE!
Shovearound 2 and SRIMECH Not Included go through to Round 2.

Anti Spin vs SRIMECH Not Included
3…2…1…ACTIVATE!
Anti Spin zooms straight across the arena very quickly and reaches its 20mph top speed in no time at all. SRIMECH Not Included collides with the front and both robots repel away from each other. SRIMECH Not Included is first to recover as it spins and charges at the side of Anti Spin sliding under the skirting. The LEM130’s kick into action and Anti Spin is rammed hard into the arena wall.
Anti Spin manages to break free and run away but SRIMECH Not Included is in hot pursuit… Anti Spin quickly turns around on the spot to face SRIMECH Not Included and gets completely caught out! The Team Raven robot has driven straight up the front lifter of Anti Spin with the tracks waving around in the air.
The linear actuators move the lifting arm upwards and Martyn’s robot rolls helplessly onto its side and rocks down onto its back. With the two inner tracks spinning around in the air and a SRIMECH Not Included it gets counted out.
CEASE!
In a blink of an eye Anti Spin overturns SRIMECH Not Included and goes into the Heat Final

Fragmentor vs Shovearound 2
3…2…1…ACTIVATE!
Fragmentor starts revving up its motorbike engine straight away as Shovearound 2 comes flying in on the attack at 16mph and crashes into Fragmentor at speed. Aaron isn’t pleased with this and swivels Fragmentor round and the blade narrowly misses Shovearound’s bodywork and scrapes away some of the blue paint! Tony sensing the danger reverses out of the way and gets ready for another charge. Shovearound 2 this time charges in backwards and Fragmentor also goes forwards – this is going to be nasty! Crash!!! In a huge shower of sparks both robots are flung away spinning around madly. When Shovearound finally stands still you can see a big chunk of Titanium that was simply ripped away from the shell. Shovearound this time runs for its life and goes to hit the pit release while the Fragmentor flywheel whines up to full speed… And all of a sudden it races away straight across the opening pit and narrowly gets away but does manage to hit Shovearound at full speed, ripping the whole side panel clean away with more sparks and spinning. Fragmentor quickly regains control and digs its flywheel deep into the now exposed internals of Shovearound 2! There is a horrible grinding noise going on inside but Shovearound 2 is still fully mobile and manages to turn itself away. Aaron backs Fragmentor off to re-spin its flywheel back up while Tony tries to get Shovearound going again. But it seems half of the drive has stopped because it can only spin in circles, and even worse is that a fully spun up Fragmentor is heading back in! Tony quickly turns the unexposed side to Fragmentor just in time and it seems to have stopped the damage although the skirt is now buckled and half of its hinges! Shovearound 2 again spins in circles while Fragmentor re-spins its flywheel up to speed once more. Shovearound 2 is dancing about on the spot but can do little else and Fragmentor comes in again! Crash!!! Another huge attack is launched at Shovearound this time making it fly away into the middle of the arena now with two missing side skirts! Still though Shovearound fights on still twirling around in the middle of the arena. Fragmentor is not amused and comes in for another attack this time crashing into the front forks completely buckling and crushing them out of action. They don’t call them Team Destructive Technologies for nothing you know. Aaron drives Fragmentor in for another attack this time on the unexposed side again ripping it open like a tin of beans! Fragmentor backs off to inspect the damage and this time Shovearound is completely static. Skirts, panels, wires, motors all splattered around the arena.
CEASE!
Fragmentor KO’s Shovearound with little difficulty, even the 2cm Titanium couldn’t stop this thing!

Anti Spin vs Fragmentor
3…2…1…ACTIVATE!
Both robots approach each other with caution, Fragmentor’s blade already whirling around at full speed. But Anti Spin is first to attack, neatly getting around the side of Fragmentor and getting the lifter under. Aaron’s robot is lifted up in the air but then comes down with a bump and Fragmentor immediately gets an attack in on the side of Anti Spin, ripping away a small chunk of Hardox.
Anti Spin is otherwise undamaged from the attack whereas Fragmentor is spinning around madly from the attack. Dave sees the chance to attack and Anti Spin goes in on the charge and the swords slide under Fragmentor and lift it into the air. The disc and wheels spin but Fragmentor it stuck in the air and Anti Spin simply stacks the spinner onto the arena wall.
Anti Spin lines itself up for the big attack and drives back in and lifts… but Fragmentor comes back down with a bump and lives again! The spinner bot turns on the spot and rams its disc right into Anti Spin slicing away at the tough Hardox skin. Anti Spin backs away from the impact and drives across the arena into the pit release. Fragmentor after having a dance on the spot follows and delivers another attack onto the side of Anti Spin, causing more damage.
Anti Spin attacks again, sliding under with the sword and driving Fragmentor forwards and easily into the pit.
CEASE!
Anti Spin goes through to the series semi finals!
