FIRST, FROM ETOBICOKE NEAR TORONTO, IN CANADA, TIRA III!
This titanium armoured fighter is protected by front scoops and side and rear skirting to prevent her being flipped, and she has four wheel drive fron two Lynch motors with a further two powering the weapon. She'll spin her way into the competition's nightmares with a three toothed 25kg front flywheel, and has a top speed of twenty miles an hour.
FROM GEDDINGTON, BALDUR GAMMA!
The smallest machine in today's competition but definitely a tiny terror, with a front actuated interchangable scoop constructed from Hardox and flexible titanium foam to absorb energy from impacts and get underneath opponents, propelled by a robust 48 volt Lynch motor drive train with four wheels protected by Kevlar and tungsten, reaching speeds of 17mph.
FROM GAINSBOROUGH, TEMPEST EVIL-EST-OUTION!
Tempest sports an outer spinning ring as its main weaponry, eighty centimetres wide with four hardox teeth to rip up opponents with a force of eighty kilojoules per hit at 1000rpm. The two wheel Magmotor drive gives it a somewhat slow top speed of twelve miles an hour, and it's invertible with 15mm Lexan armour protecting the electrics.
FROM ORPINGTON, WORCK!
A front hinged low wedge flipper with a name that apparently didn't mean anything until I badgered Paul about it, Worck runs from S28-400 Magmotors with high pressure carbon dioxide gas on the flipper ram giving about 20 flips on a full tank. It moves at thirteen miles an hour with the main body being protected with titanium skirts and a Hardox bodyshell.
FROM STAFFORDSHIRE, RIPPER!
A Hardox-clad yellow and green beast with Bosch motors powered by NiCad battery packs powering the two wheels to rwelve miles an hour, it rips with a front full pressure carbon dioxide gas powered flipper and self righter, and apparently only cost 600 pounds to build.
FROM BEDFORD, CRIMSON THUNDER!
Finally, this red parallelogram box wedge is the fastest machine here at 30 miles an hour, driven from four Lynch motors and Vulkalon coated tyres to provide the ramming power which is its main weapon. Armoured in hardox, flipping doesn't bother it since it can run both ways up and can defend itself with skirts on the sides.

For reasons best known to myself, this and the following event was hypotheticaled and never posted or written in full. Maybe in the 25th anniversary edition it might get a proper job done of it, but for now, enjoy this table of results:
