Envy gets off the mark first, driving up towards Axeon, which approaches cautiously. Envy pauses, and then charges in, but the wedge just rides up the skirts of Axeon - and the axe comes down, smashing into the ront Hardox armour on Envy! There is a nasty looking dent, but the recoil from that shot has caused Axeon to jump, and Envy is now off the skirts. It moves away, up towards the patrol zone, turning back to face Axeon as it comes in again. Axeon tries to position itself for a shot, but Envy comes and charges in at the corner! It manages to wedge underneath the skirts, but Axeon brings the weapon down...straight into the top armour of Envy! It hit near the corner, and the axe blade is firmly embedded in the aluminium, but Envy pushes it towards the wall undaunted...
FLIP! Axeon goes into the air...hits the barrier, but the axe coming out of Envy holds it back from leaving the arena, and Axeon comes crashing back on the right side of the walls, inverted. Andrew hits the button, and his machine self rights, but Envy is already there, and gets underneath the body of Axeon easily. The axe comes down though, and hits the top edge of Envy, denting the aluminium rather badly...but Envy pushes Axeon backwards, and it looks like Envy has this fight, as the pit awaits Axeon...the axe returns and hammers the top of Envy again, but it's not helping it, as Envy comes to a stop and...
FLIP! Axeon is pushed away, and tumbles in to the void in a pall of smoke.

Nitro-Gene comes out of the start very fast, heading towards Darkestar, who moves away as its weapon tries to get up to spinning speed. Nitro-Gene tries to move in on the side of Darkestar, who turns to get the weapon into bear, but Nitro-Gene backs off. It comes in again, aiming for one of the track modules to try and flip Darkestar up and over, however it's not going to get there without facing the weapon, as Darkestar turns into Nitro-Gene...
CRASH! Nitro-Gene flies into the air, and comes down on its wheels...the machine drives away though. Paul turns Nitro-Gene around just in front of the lower patrol zone, and faces Darkestar as the tracked machine comes in. Nitro-Gene moves cautiously, trying to get underneath the sides of Darkestar, as it turns to try and thwart the flipper's attempts. Darkestar backs off slightly, and turns to come in, but Nitro-Gene gets in under the side of Darkestar, and pushes slowly, before...
FLIP! Darkestar goes into the air, and lands on the flame pit, which flares up obligingly. It moves off however, the only harm being one slightly bent bar on the framework of its weapon. Darkestar drives up towards the top of the arena, and moves around to get a clear run at Nitro-Gene with the flywheel. Nitro-Gene drives in, but Darkestar charges, and gets under the flipper of Nitro-Gene with the spikes!
CRASH! And titanium sparks fly, as part of Nitro-Gene's side skirt goes flying away, ripped from the hinges! The robot isn't looking too good either, it's on its back, but the flipper can't work inverted...and before Nitro-Gene can drive away, Alex manuvers Darkestar in for another hit!
CRASH! Nitro-Gene bounces slightly, but the Hardox rear armour isn't damaged more than cosmetically from the blade...Darkestar comes in again, though, and gets under the rear of the robot...and pushes...Nitro-Gene is caught on the spikes, and no amount of wheel spinning is helping it, as it hits the bottom wall, inside the patrol zone, and Darkestar backs away as Killalot comes in, and slips the hydraulic claw underneath Nitro-Gene, getting hold of the skirts...it tries to get free, but the house robot lifts it into the air! The flipper fires, and Nitro-Gene almost slips off the pincers, but is hanging there still, as Killalot comes out of the patrol zone, and turns towards the flame pit...Paul is mouthing something in his control booth, not looking too happy, as his machine is roasted over the flames, before Killalot lets go of Nitro-Gene, on to the waiting Darkestar. Darkestar turns to come in with the disc again, but Nitro-Gene backs up, and comes in on the offensive, getting the front scoop in under Darkestar's right track!
FLIP! Darkestar goes head over heels, as it were, and lands facing away from its opponent on the flame grid, which flickers around the machine as it comes away, ramming into the side of Nitro-Gene, who gets away, and...there's smoke! Darkestar's left hand side is smoking! Alex leans up in his booth, looking concerned, as he steers his machine away from Nitro-Gene and reverses towards the left hand wall. Nitro-Gene moves in an arc, driving in towards Darkestar, who comes out to meet it, and gets the spikes under its adversary's front once more!
CRASH! Nitro-Gene is inverted once more, in a shower of sparks, and a chunk of metal goes flying! The right hand side skirt on Nitro-Gene has been torn away almost completely now, there is little left clinging to the bodyshell as it flees from Darkestar, turning to face it, as the action begins to get more sluggish. Darkestar moves forward, the weapon not spinning it would seem, and comes in on its opponent, but Nitro-Gene locks on to Darkestar's side, as the smoke still creeps slowly from the internals on the tracked machine. The clock begins to tick down, it will go to the judges, and it seems that bith machines here are locked in a robo-waltz, completely exhausted...Nitro-Gene reverses sluggishly in the direction of the flame grid, as Darkestar turns, coming in for a final ram, as it hits Nitro-Gene's scoop, both unable to get under the other.
CEASE
There's a tiny flicker of flame just visible from under Darkestar's tracks, and the men with fire extinguishers come in. The match will be decided by the panel of judges...
DAMAGE: Darkestar caused lots of damage to Nitro-Gene, but did catch fire towards the end, although it didn't seem to affect it much; Darkestar 4 (x4 = 16) Nitro-Gene 1 (x4 = 4)
AGGRESSION: Both were very aggressive at points in the match. Darkestar probably edges it slightly: Darkestar 3 (x3 = 9) Nitro-Gene 2 (x3 = 6)
CONTROL: Again, both had control at various points. Darkestar wins though due to pushing Nitro-Gene int the hazards and the patrol zone more; Darkestar 3 (x2 = 6) Nitro-Gene 2 (x2 = 4)
STYLE: Nitro-Gene probably wins here, its flipping was more stylish; Darkestar 2, Nitro-Gene 3
Darkestar: 33
Nitro-Gene 4.0: 17
Darkestar wins by judges' decision over Nitro-Gene 4.0

The first heat final of the Chevron Championship begins, and Envy comes out of the start first, moving down the arena towards the patrol zone, as Darkestar spins its weapon up, turning to face Envy. Envy moves tentatively forwards, curving slightly to try and get around the side, Darkestar turning at its opponent, but Envy moves in and wedges under the tracks of Darkestar, but can only take one of the tracks off the ground, and Darkestar isn't making it easy to push it...the right track is cancelling the force of Envy's Magmotor drive, and the robots begin to slowly rotate around each other in some sort of dance. Darkestar suddenly reverses, breaking the deadlock, and comes charging in as Envy turns to face it!
CRASH! And both machines go flying into the air, Envy catching Darkestar with the flipper but taking a hit from the triangular spinning weapon, bouncing down on its wheels though. Darkestar is inverted, but reverses back into Envy nonetheless, attempting to get a good angle to push it into the walls or the pit...but Envy turns, and Alex just drives stright up the wedge!
FLIP! Darkestar rolls into the air and bounces slightly as it comes to rest on its tracks. Its weapon is now facing in the appropriate direction, though, and it drives towards Envy, who moves out of the way. Envy drives down the arena, past the flame grid, and turns as it seeks to come in for another charge, as Darkestar follows with the weapon spinning. Envy pauses for a moment, as Darkestar approaches, but suddenly turns twice and comes in around the side...wedging underneath the tracks of Darkestar!
FLIP! Darkestar goes onto its back, but drives away before Envy can get beneath it again. Turning to face Envy, Darkestar reveses a while and stops, trying to draw Envy in...Envy comes in around the side, but Darkestar turns, just taking the track off the front of Envy's scoop, and takes a swipe at its opponent with the weapon!
CRASH! Envy goes flying into the air, and comes down inverted, sporting a deep dent in the front right hand side...Darkestar comes in again, and although Shane fires the flipper to self right, the top of his robot just meets the spikes of Darkestar, who's not spinning, but is gaining traction, and pushing...driving Envy up towards the walls, near the patrol zone...and slamming Envy into the wall as it bounces away...aaalmost into the pit! Envy self rights, throwing itself against the arena wall, as Darkestar is over by Matilda, in the top area...Alex is pulling on his controls, but Darkestar's tracks aren't gripping! One of the spikes appears to be firmly wedged in the arena wall, and Matilda senses this, turning to bring the chainsaw down onto the tracks...chewing up the Vulkalon grip on one side, shredding the rubber! Shunt comes in too, hammering the top of Darkestar's weapon motor with the axe to little obvious effect, but freeing Darkestar off the arena wall with the scoop! Relieved, Darkestar drives away, towards Envy, which...isn't...doing all that much at the moment...the wheels are spinning, but it's on the edge of the pit! It must have driven on there after self righting, not going anywhere there, and Shane's looking a bit glum at the moment...but Darkestar comes in with a nudge, and Envy has traction! It reverses off the corner of the pit, and turns in towards Darkestar, but Darkestar pushes Envy, getting under it with the spike...and turning...and Envy is on the lip of oblivion again! Darkestar pushes once more, Alex looking relieved as Shane shakes his head, and Envy is going down...in through the smoke...and out!
