Cheers. This series, or should that be season, has been great on the whole.

Probably the weakest episode ... lots of matches of similar types of bot versus each other which isn't as interesting as it sounds and they were really padding it out with post-fight interviews, flashbacks and reports from the pits (I tend to skip through them).

Still, overall the series has been great so far and the final tournament should be excellent.

That's got the potential to be a great fight. Makes sense as a play in too - both are much better bots than their record suggests at first glance. I think Cobalt's going to wreck them though.

They went for a third option apparently - running Quantum's spare wheels.

I don't think it'll be a boring one hit and done. From their facebook;

"We cant say how it went yet but we can say its the best fight we’ve ever had in our entire history of doing this sport across the world."

Glad to see Quantum in the 16.

Shame ducks out, but their flipper operator's done it no favours this season.

Cobalt's weapon getting pushed into the wall and launching them to the moon was spectacular. That was some top driving from Minotaur. A wrong move after their drum stopped and it could have gone wrong very quickly.

I thought it was a bit harsh that Hypershock had to go through a play in at all with their only loss being Biteforce.

Have I missed something How is Blacksmith in there, it's got a 4 bout 2 wins, 2 losses record yet Hypershock 4-3-1, Scorpios 4-3-1 and Railgun Max 4-3-1 aren't? They all have the same record as Tombstone 4-3-1
