(Liftoff)² got free and was immediately flipped against the wall again. Plyohazard was still alive, so Poly wedged it into the floor for good measure.

#### Poly vs City Bot

#### Polyester vs Marathon

Ester configuration: Undercutter

The fight started with all three botws spinning up and Poly and Ester heading to opposite corners of the arena. Marathon then threw Poly into Fluffy as Ester threw its weapon belt.

Eventually, Marathon recovered and started going after Ester after Poly's weapon went down. The fight went to a judges decision where Polyester won.

#### Polyester vs Phenomenon

Ester configuration: Vertical

The fight started with all three bots spinning up and poly charging right into Phenomenon. Polyester then double teamed Marathon and stranded it against the wall.

#### Polyester vs Other Disko (2)

Ester configuration: Vertical

The fight started with all three bots spinning up and Other Disko flipping Ester before punting it into the wall. Ester then returned the favor by kicking Other Disko into the air before Poly served it up for a Polyester sandwich. (A/N: I wonder how that would taste.)

#### Polyester vs Stop Hitting Yourself

Ester configuration: Vertical

Stop Hitting Yourself configuration: Twins

The fight started with both clusters spinning up and the 2v2 beginning with Ester throwing one of the twins into the wall. Both Poly and Ester then started manhandling the Stop Hitting Yourself twins. Poly then locked horns with one of the SHY twins in a bitter shoving match while Ester punted its opponent into the wall several times. Ester then stranded its opponent in the corner, prompting the other twin to come in fight it. Ester then punted the twin and accidentally threw Poly into Fluffy. Eventually, after being manhandled by both Poly and Ester, the remaining SHY twin found an opportunity and flipped Ester. With Fluffy very clearly on break, the SHY twin punted Ester into the corner and ripped off a wheel guard. With 5 seconds left, Poly ripped off the wedge of the remaining SHY twin, killing it. The fight went to a judges decision where Polyester won.

#### Poly vs MegatRON

The fight started with both bots spinning up and MegatRon deflecting Poly into the blue corner. MegatRON then paraded Poly around the arena before Poly flipped it. MegatRON self righted and the rest of the fight was pretty even until Poly died and tapped out.
