Mick notes the same and then turns the chatter over to Pit Reporter Carol Grow who says that "the pressure is on." We're shown the battleboard and then treated to shots of each of the different House Robots used in the game, including Sir Killalot, "the Big Daddy of 'em all." Carol talks with Team Tico, with their robot Xylon, then with Team Tyranabot, who she wishes luck. Finally, there's Buzz. Carol notes that Buzz's lifting arm lifts in a different direction from the lifting arms seen on past robots in the series.

Stefan, the commentator, notes the size difference of the robots. Xylon goes after Buzz, then Tyranabot tries to take advantage of this by going after Xylon. Xylon is then flipped on its side by Buzz, then works on self-rightin. Matilda comes in and Xylon manages to break free, then go after Tyranabot. Xylon hits the pit trigger. The ten second countdown appears and nothing much else happens from this point on before the time runs out. In the pit, Mick asks Team Tyranabot who'd they kick out if they were the Judges and the youngest member of the team, who's only about eight years old, says that he'd kick out Buzz. Mick then reveals that their elite team of Judges actually decided to eliminate Xylon. Mick then notices that the Team Captain for the Buzz robot is all by himself, calling him a "team of one." Joseph, the Buzz team captain, says that his partner wasn't able to make it to the show. Battle 2 Falcon Mark II vs. Bunny Attack vs. Paul Bunyan With: Matilda and Sir Killalot In the Pits, Carol talks with Team Falcon about their robot: Falcon Mark II. Team Falcon is dressed up in black jackets and sunglasses. They say that they call their robot Falcon Mark II in honor of their teammate named Mark, who wasn't able to make it to the show. They say that "when the Falcon flies, robots die." Next up is Bunny Attack. The cover is made up of flammable white fur and they have an eight pound sledgehammer as a weapon. Finally, there's Paul Bunyan with Team Fighting Lumberjacks and they're all dressed up as lumberjacks. The Team Captain says that he'll "cut the Falcon down like a large oak and count the rings." The battle commences, with Falcon immediately going on the attack against Bunny Attack. The Bunny tries going after both robots, but ends up getting pushed around some more. Around this time, Sir Killalot leaves his Corner Patrol Zone, which is a mistake, since he's not supposed to leave it unless one of the robots either wanders into it, or if one becomes immobilized. As The Refbot works on straightening out Killalot, Bunny Attacks tries to pound Bunyan with his hammer, but it's totally comical because it does absolutely no damage. Stefan calls it "a round of really ineffective weapons." Paul Bunyan continues to get tapped on by Bunny's hammer. The ten-second clock appears and counts down to zero. In the pits, Mick reveals that the Judges chose to eliminate Paul Bunyan from the competition. Team Falcon says that they were a bit disappointed with the round: they were hoping for "roasted hare." Battle 3 Bunny Attack vs. Tyranabot With: Sgt. Bash and Dead Metal At the beginning of the battle, the two teams appear to be sizing each other up. Bunny Attack then pushes Tyranabot into Sgt. Bash's Corner Patrol Zone. As he slams Tyranabot with the hammer, Sgt. Bash's flamethrower lights Tyranabot up. Then, as "Bunny Attacks," Sgt. Bash appears out of nowhere, hoping to cause some damage. Tyranabot sits around for a bit, then attempts to slam Bunny Attack. Both Dead Metal and Sgt. Bash leave their Corner Patrol Zones, as it becomes obvious that something is wrong with the House Robots in this episode. As the House Robots attack Tyranabot, Stefan notes that this is "totally illegal." Tyranabot hits the Pit trigger, then Bunny Attacks backs itself into the Pit with a little help from Tyranabot, giving Tyranabot the come-from-behind victory. Battle 4 Buzz vs. Falcon Mark II With: Sir Killalot and Sgt. Bash In the pits, Team Falcon calls Buzz "nothing more than a speed bump in the road" and "a bug." As the battle begins, The Falcon gets caught on the arena Disc of Doom, but quickly frees itself. It starts pushing around Buzz, shoving it against the edge of the arena, then uses its lifting to lift him up. He then pushes him into Sir Killalot's Corner Patrol Zone and while Buzz deals with Sir Killalot, he hits the Pit trigger. Sir Killalot grabs the immobilized Buzz in his pincers, then lines him up and drops him in the Pit, as The Falcon shoves at him from behind. Battle 5 Tyranabot vs. Falcon Mark II With: Dead Metal and Sir Killalot Tyranabot quickly gets up to speed, but then The Falcon gets underneath him, shoving him around the arena. The Falcon then tries an old trick, feeding Tyranabot to Sir Killalot, but Tyranabot is able to get away. The Falcon uses his lifting arm to lift Tyranabot up, but once again, he escapes, then hits the Pit trigger. The Falcon uses the lifting arm to lift Tyranabot again, and this time Refbot comes in to free Tyranabot. The ten-second countdown clock appears, as The Falcon continues to deal damage to Tyranabot. Finally, "Cease!" is called, as Mick notes that the final decision to determine who will make it to the Championship is going to a Judges' decision. In the pits, Mick reveals that the Judges declared Falcon Mark II the winner. The audience soundly boos Team Falcon who takes the opportunity to gloat some more and Mick says that he hopes that Team Falcon loses in the Finals.… Expand
