The tournament organisers sometimes like to dress or light these arenas a little bit differently from time to time. Today they’ve thrown up a disco ball, which gives the whole ambience a much more jaunty feel. We’re sure that won’t last ones - ah, yes, here they come!

Here, to my left in position 4, maintaining the new configuration that worked so well against Hard Hat - it’s Trapdoorspyder’s Annoy-o-Tron!

And to my right, in position 13, still the most expensive Bot in the league - it’s Min-Mox!

And the green go light is lit and with barely a split-second in in Annoy-o-Tron has sprung forward - oh my goodness - it’s closed the entire length of the arena in an instant and slammed into Min-mox! What an incredible sight, just an instant visceral body-slam, and for the viewers at home I have to tell you - the collision of these two slabs of metal made the chairs in the arena shake - not that anyone was still sitting! Look at the crowd!

Annoy-o-Tron is trying to shove but isn’t having its way with Min-mox - both of these bots using state of the art nitrogen engines and neither has the power to budge the other! But Min-mox is disengaging - oh, it’s taking evasive manoeuvres - look at it go! Thundershrike there in the Operator pit, a look of fierce concentration on the young pilot’s face and he pilots circles around Annoy-o-Tron - and Annoy-o-Tron is all turned around - oh my goodness! The dancing Min-Mox has Annoy-o-Tron spinning in circles! It’s a stalemate - the superior piloting of Min-Mox completely confounding Annoy-o-Tron’s axe and its willingness to ram! They’re evasion-locked!

Before we know it we’re into SUDDEN DEATH and I’m afraid the writing is on the wall here - we’re deep into Min-mox’s half of the pitch! This can only go one way - Min-Mox, with its back against the wall, soon finds that the floor is what it really should have been worried about. The Sudden Death detonator under its position goes off, shattering its chassis and handing Trapdoorspyder the win! ANNOY-O-TRON WINS BY TKO!
