For those f you watching at home, I have to tell you, Arena Hall C is packed to the rafters and the atmosphere is incredible this afternoon. These two bots are fan favourites but only one can leave the arena today the winner!

To the left of the arena, in position number 4 - it’s DUCK-BOAT OF DOOOOOOOOM!

And to the right, in position number 16 - it’s SUNRIIIIIIIISE!

A massive gout of flame from the curves above the arena - and the siren blares - this bout is on!

Duck-Boat is the first to move, creeping cautiously forward. Then Sunrise - it’s a cagey match - the two bots jockeying for position. This is a very tactical match, already - the two bots circling the arena warily, inching close, neither quite willing to commit - until - oh! From position 8 Duck-Boat sees Sunrise move into position 12 and leaps forward, flipping up its duck-bill flipper to reveal the hydraulic piston battering ram underneath! Duck-Boat absolutely SMASHES into Sunrise - but Sunrise has that beefy Nitrogen-powered engine and will not be shoved!

The ram crunches into Sunrise’s Flipper but although the damage is palpable the system still functions - and Jumble proves it, by manoeuvring around Duck-Boat and slipping under its chassis, sending it tumbling! But no - Duck-Boat’s flipper does a full 180, popping it back upright! Sunrise is still in position, though, and finds another angle, and Duck-Boat is flipped again! We’re in a flip-loop - Duck-Boat can’t get away but Sunrise can’t capitalise on the flip!

After a few minutes where neither Operator can find their position, the judges call the match.

The spotlights rover around the crowd before training on the judge’s booth. A quick, quiet conference is taking place before the Announcer is signalled over.

“The judges have determines that Duck-Boat’s battering ram blow was the only decisive blow of the Bout - Duck-Boat wins by Domination!
