Antweight Anarchy Volume 2

> "*9 seeded machines have returned to our war zone to defend their honours against 72 competitors in search for the ultimate prize. Only 1 can survive the onslaught of destruction and lift the trophy in triumph. This is microscopic mayhem on a massive scale. This is Antweight Anarchy!*"

**Antweight Anarchy Volume 2** is the second series of the web series Antweight Anarchy, presented by Catherine Fitzpatrick and Anthony Murney for the pit interviews and analysis (twopennymilk) and commentated by Stephen McCulla of VoteSaxon07. The Judges remain the same, being Professor Chantelle Givens, Dr. Elizabeth King and Professor Noah Barkley. Each heat will be premiered within weekly intervals. The first episode's and the last episode's publication dates are from June 19, 2021 to August 21, 2021. There will also be skits at the end of the episodes, most prominently, Garden Box.

## Format

With a completely new format, Volume 2 focuses more on group battles and 1v1 for the Heat Finals and the Final of the Grand Final. It also had seedings implemented in order for experienced or elite robots to only meet towards the Grand Final if the seeded robots are not knocked out prior. Only one house robots will appear in each episodes and will only be featured in the Heat Finals.

The heats will begin with 3 Three-way **Group battles**. Machines who lost first will compete in the **Bronze Redemption Rumble** where only one will advance. Likewise, machines who lost second will compete in the **Silver Redemption Rumble** where only one will advance. The 3 opening group battle winners will battle in the **Champion Clash** where one robot will progress directly into the Heat Final. The winners of the Redemption Rumbles and the losers of the Champion Clash will have to participate in the Four-way **Death or Glory**. The winner of the Death or Glory will face off against the winner of the Champion Clash in the **Heat Final** for a spot in the Grand FInal. The Grand Final follows the same format as the one for the Heats but the Grand Final duel will have 2 House Robots in the arena.

The seedings goes as such:

2. Hit 2
3. Tombstone
5. Rusty
6. Nexus
8. Jester
9. Mantis
