## Main Competition

### First Round

#### EPZ vs Hinge

TBA

**Winner:** Hinge

#### Smartant 3 vs Anti-Bi-Botics

   Smartant 3 failed to move from its position the whole match which had allowed the clusterbots to swarm it, albeit tentatively due to it's fully body spinner design. The Half Life cluster was first to attack, attempting to ram it but getting no where until the Fleabite cluster smashed into Smartant 3, tearing a chuck from the plastic outer shell, hut almost hitting its own cluster at one moment. The two clusters struggled to push or continue damaging Smartant 3 who sat like a brick in the arena. Smartant 3 span up again as Half Life attempted to ram it, however, the full body spinner managed to throw Half Life out of the arena by the spinning power. For the remainder of the match Fleabite tore into Smartant 3, breaking the plastic further and causing huge chunks and cracks to appear with each attack. Eventually, the long match came to an end and Anti-Bi-Botics won on a judges decision.

**Winner:** Anti-Bi-Botics

#### Kwijbo vs Speedy

    The battle did not last very long as Speedy started off by dodging the deadly spinner only to be impacted at the front, causing damage to the front wedge. Speedy dodged Kwijebo who turned around to face Speedy. Speedy then charged into Kwijebo where the impact caused the two to fly across the arena with Speedy managing to bounce off the protective perplex and back into the arena while Kwijebo was sent completely out.

#### Fast Dalek vs Azarel

    At first both robots struggled to get moving, however as soon as they did, Fast Dalek was swift in ramming Azarel, flipping it over a few times, each time with more velocity. However, in one flipping attack, Fast Dalek accidentally caught the thwacking tail of Azarel, getting locked as it backed into Azarel, ramming it against the side wall. Eventually, they were freed and Fast Dalek, accidentally toppled itself allowing Azarel to push it across the arena. Fast Dalek self right and flipped Azarel some more, where it got stuck on its own tail. Fast Dalek flips and manages to self right Azarel where the two engaged in a pushing match. Soon, Fast Dalek flips Azarel again where the battery ended up falling out, immobilising it as Fast Dalek rams Azarel against the side wall before leaving it alone.

**Winner:** Fast Dalek

#### Anto-X vs Quick! We need an ant!

    Immediately, Quick! We need an ant! charged into Anto-X, and due to the wheel not being attached properly, Anto-X lost a wheel straight away. Despite the wheel loss, Anto-X attempted to ram the side of Quick! We need an ant! but spinning wildly, it managed to topple onto its only wheel, becoming stranded. Quick! We need an ant! pushed the stranded Anto-X but the second wheel fell off leaving Anto-X completely immobile. Quick! We need an ant! eventually finished the job by pushing the carcass of Anto-X off.

**Winner:** Quick! We need an ant!
