Back 2 Basics vs. The Deer vs. Warhead vs. Seggy The Third
3…2…1…ACTIVATE!
It’s all action from the start as Seggy The Third equipped with its lifting arm quickly gets under Back 2 Basics and flips it over. B2B quickly self-rights as Warhead comes flying into the action ramming its disc into Seggy The Third. The steel has a dent and a small cut in it. The Deer now has its chance to attack and gets its claws neatly around the back of Seggy The Third and closes them slowly shut. Emma tries to drive Seggy The Third away but The Deer’s claws start to crumple the side roll bars and approach the side armour. Dave fires the flipper a few times but there is no escape! Meanwhile B2B has released the pit and started to pursue Warhead. The flipper bot gets under the side claw and launches the spinner bot up into the air and poor old Warhead comes colliding down to the floor disc first. A pushing match is going on between Seggy The Third and The Deer meanwhile… Seggy has the power advantage but The Deer has the right leverage to fight back and it has proved a stalemate. While that is going on though B2B has got right under the inverted Warhead, driven it up against the side and flipped it over the arena wall! Feeling confident, B2B heads straight over to Seggy and The Deer. The flipper gets under one of The Deer’s claws and flips, shaking both robots loose from the grip. Seggy The Third heads straight towards B2B and gets the lifter under and starts to raise the flipper bot up. B2B rolls straight onto its back and the flipper fires self-righting it with no problems. Now The Deer comes on the attack, getting the claws nicely round B2B but it quickly backs off so The Deer turns its attention to Seggy The Third. The Deer catches the Team Solarized robot side on and starts pushing it across the arena… B2B then comes in from behind and tosses Seggy The Third into a forwards summersault. The Deer quickly regains control and manages to nudge Seggy The Third onto the pits edge! B2B decides to flip The Deer over though and this gives Seggy time to get away. But the Devil’s Incarnate bot quickly rushes round and with an accurate flip tosses Seggy backwards into the black hole.
CEASE!
Back 2 Basics and The Deer go through to Round 2.

Avalanche vs. SD IV vs. Achilles vs. Death Adder 3
3…2…1…ACTIVATE!
This is going to be one of the best fights of the series if you look at the robots. All four of them could be semi final contenders and yet two have to drop out early, who will it be… All four robots go hurling at each other, sparks flying as Avalanche comes in contact with SD IV’s disc and a big doom as Death Adder slams its axe down onto the top of Achilles. Avalanche steps on the pedal and SD IV is rammed up against the arena wall and Achilles does almost exactly the same to Death Adder 3. The bucket of Achilles slowly raises and starts to lift the shuffler up into the air but SD IV comes to the rescue and barges Achilles out of the way. Alex turns his attention straight to SD IV and starts chasing it as Death Adder gets away. Meanwhile Avalanche opens up the pit, hoping for an early victory and both SD IV and Achilles drive over the descending pit, just getting away in time. Death Adder then comes in on the attack and clobbers Avalanche with its axe putting a huge dent in the Titanium. While this is going on Achilles has managed to get under SD IV and stack it against the arena wall! With all its wheels off the ground Achilles has time to line up its next move, that is until Avalanche comes and bumps into its side and then Death Adder fires its axe straight onto the roof. Achilles spins on the spot in range and goes after Avalanche while Death Adder moves over to SD IV. One smash with the axe is enough to put a small dent in the side of SD IV but also rock it down from the wall. SD IV immediately goes to join in with the Avalanche and Achilles tussle. Achilles is currently lifting Avalanche but SD IV comes in on the attack and knocks Avalanche down. Achilles quickly gets its shovel back under Avalanche and drives it against the arena wall and starts lifting again. SD IV meanwhile starts having a nibble at Death Adder’s skirts. For its troubles the big hammer comes thrashing down onto SD IV making both robots bounce! Achilles finally disposes of Avalanche over the arena wall and comes to join in the attack. The Doomforall bot ploughs through with its powerful drive and effortlessly dumps Death Adder 3 down the pit who is shortly followed by SD IV.
CEASE!
Achilles gets rid of all three robots and goes through along with SD IV.

Back 2 Basics vs. SD IV
3…2…1…ACTIVATE!
Back 2 Basics bursts off the starting blocks extremely quickly and manages to get a flip in on SD IV before it even has time to move! Steve quickly recovers and slides the undercutter disc under the side of B2B and starts pushing it back across the arena with its power advantage. SD IV barges B2B into the pit release, so both robots have started off quickly looking for a result. B2B flips to get away, turns and gets a great flip in on SD IV again sending the blue bot cart wheeling across the arena! SD IV comes back in on the assault and the sparks fly as the two meet head to head. SD IV has got its blade under the flipping plate of B2B and B2B flips, sending itself onto its back! SD IV pushes it across the arena and slams it into the arena wall. SD IV reverses and rams back in just as B2B self right and rolls forwards… but then stands still! SD IV drives in again with a shower of sparks but B2B stands statuesque.
CEASE!
A post match report shows that when B2B was inverted SD IV managed to cut its ariel off and that was good enough to earn a place in the heat final.

The Deer vs. Achilles
3…2…1…ACTIVATE!
Both robots rush at each other, The Deer’s trying to close its claws round Achilles straight away but Achilles just drives The Deer backwards into the arena wall. Achilles then starts to lift but The Deer gets away just in time. Achilles is a bit slow to react and The Deer takes advantage getting its claws round the side of Achilles. The Deer starts to push but Achilles fight back and the two travel in a diagonal sort of fashion across the arena neither taking the full advantage. The Deer’s claws close and start to bend the 5mm Titanium and finally puncture it! The Deer is now locked in and in control and starts to turn Achilles round and heads to the other side of the arena. The Deer slams Achilles hard into the pit release but in doing so loses its grip and Achilles manages to struggle free. The whole fight seems to have turned on its head as Achilles quickly starts lifting The Deer up and flies across the arena. The Deer collides with the wall and the impact sends it right over the top of Achilles! Achilles quickly turns round but The Deer takes advantage again, getting its claws round first but this time Achilles gets away. Achilles senses trouble and quickly weaves its way round to The Deer’s side and rams it right across the arena into the wall. The lifting bucket starts to raise and The Deer is being edged closer to the top of the arena wall. One last ram forwards by Achilles is enough to shake the fence and send The Deer tumbling over onto the camera track.
CEASE!
Achilles looked like it was in trouble but managed to pull away with a quick victory.

SD IV vs. Achilles
3…2…1…ACTIVATE!
Both robots nervously approach each other, Achilles making the first move by turning to the side of SD IV. The Scottish robot turns quickly and manages to shave its saw across the front of Achilles. Achilles is undamaged though and slides the scoop under SD IV and starts lifting and pushing it towards the wall. Just like in Round 1, Achilles has managed to stack SD IV up onto the arena sidewall! Achilles has nobody to disturb it this time and goes to open up the pit as SD IV spins its disc and wheels trying to get free. The pit starts to descend and Achilles moves back in on the attack. The bucket slides under SD IV once more and the grappling claw comes down to grab onto it. Achilles backs away, with SD IV lifted high into the air! But suddenly the weight of SD IV causes Achilles to topple forwards and SD IV manages to get free. Achilles bumps back down and SD IV manages to slide under the skirt and starts to push Achilles away right across the pit! Alex quickly reverses away sending SD IV away. The blue robot turns to face Achilles again, but this time Achilles gets under again and the claw grapples but the lifter only just lifts SD IV off the floor. Achilles slowly turns round to face the pit and has no trouble in releasing the grip and sliding SD IV down the pit.
CEASE!
Achilles goes through to the series semi-finals!
