Welcome to Airmageddon, TV's ultimate test of airborne skill...

0:00:030:00:06

Get out the way!

0:00:060:00:07

..and radio-controlled mayhem.

0:00:070:00:09

32 teams of wannabe aviators from across the UK...

0:00:100:00:13

Yeah!

0:00:130:00:14

..will do battle in the Airena with their customised drones.

0:00:140:00:19

Only those with the skill...

0:00:190:00:20

Yes! ..the luck and the aerial courage...

0:00:200:00:22

Go, go, go, go. ..will make it through.

0:00:220:00:24

It'll blow the bogies out of your nose.

0:00:240:00:26

Yeah!

0:00:260:00:27

It's Airmageddon!

0:00:270:00:29

Welcome back to Airmageddon.

0:00:500:00:52

Prepare yourselves for some incredible and unforgettable

0:00:520:00:54

action here in the home of drone. We'll be taking off in moments,

0:00:540:00:58

but first, it's time for our pre-flight checklist.

0:00:580:01:01

Hi-tech combat drones with precision targeting systems?

0:01:010:01:04

Check. A purpose-built Airena,

0:01:040:01:06

designed specifically for drone-on-drone competition?

0:01:060:01:09

Check. Four super-skilled pilots?

0:01:090:01:11

Check, check, check, check.

0:01:110:01:13

Well, let's meet them. It's time to see our aviators.

0:01:130:01:17

CHEERING

0:01:170:01:18

First out the door are Gregor and best friend Thomas,

0:01:180:01:22

who are the Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne.

0:01:220:01:25

Next out is Tidal Waves, Katie and her dad, Dave.

0:01:250:01:29

Drifterz with a Z are a son and father team, Mohammad and Toqeer.

0:01:290:01:34

And last out are Rotortrismus who are Leo and his uncle Scott.

0:01:340:01:38

Hello, teams. Are you ready for Airmageddon?

0:01:410:01:44

ALL: Yeah! Excellent.

0:01:440:01:46

Well, here's one team that's definitely up for it,

0:01:460:01:48

Dave and Katie. How confident are you that you're going to stay afloat

0:01:480:01:51

throughout this competition? Very confident,

0:01:510:01:53

cos we chose the name Tidal Waves

0:01:530:01:55

because we're going to come crashing down on everyone else.

0:01:550:01:57

Oh, my goodness, fighting talk.

0:01:570:02:00

Rotortrismus, did you hear that?

0:02:000:02:02

Yes. I did too. Are you confident?

0:02:020:02:04

Yes, we are. Leo, I hear that you have 3,000 pigs.

0:02:040:02:09

How come? Cos I live on a farm.

0:02:090:02:11

Oh, you live on a farm, OK, well, we have a PIG here,

0:02:110:02:13

and I don't think your pigs will be as cool as him.

0:02:130:02:15

Anyway, we've said hello to our teams...

0:02:150:02:17

And now let's say hello to my personalised interactive gyrocopter,

0:02:170:02:21

a state-of-the-art PIG class drone.

0:02:210:02:24

His friends call him PIG

0:02:240:02:26

and I don't call him unless I really, really have to.

0:02:260:02:28

Yes, but you do right now,

0:02:280:02:29

because it's the first of our challenges, Will.

0:02:290:02:31

So, PIG, what are our teams getting up to?

0:02:310:02:33

The Airsault Course.

0:02:390:02:42

Our aviators will take their drones through the first gate,

0:02:420:02:45

round the pillars and then into and through three Letterboxes of Luck.

0:02:450:02:50

Up to another gate and then dropped down into the foggy corridor,

0:02:500:02:53

where visibility is a major issue.

0:02:530:02:56

One more gate before the Vortex,

0:02:560:02:58

and if you're wondering how high that is,

0:02:580:03:00

it's about the height of an adult giraffe at full stretch.

0:03:000:03:02

So there you go.

0:03:020:03:03

Then it's the final gate, round another pillar,

0:03:050:03:07

and then they hare it across the line.

0:03:070:03:10

Thank you, PIG. So, that's the course.

0:03:120:03:14

We could make it easier, but where's the fun in that?

0:03:140:03:17

Precisely. We want to test the best,

0:03:170:03:19

although here's someone who might want to make that test

0:03:190:03:22

even more difficult.

0:03:220:03:23

The GUARD takes his job very seriously

0:03:300:03:32

and does not like it when you stray into his sights.

0:03:320:03:35

You have been warned.

0:03:350:03:37

The Airsault Course is ready, so let's get this show in the air.

0:03:370:03:41

Let's meet our first team, it's Tidal Waves.

0:03:410:03:44

APPLAUSE

0:03:440:03:47

So, Tidal Waves' Katie is a keen climber

0:03:490:03:51

and she likes to go go-karting.

0:03:510:03:53

Both of these activities require skills that will be very handy

0:03:530:03:55

in the Airena. Her drone design has a sea theme,

0:03:550:03:58

it's painted blue and has a dolphin atop of it, who I've called Roger.

0:03:580:04:03

Please look after Roger, Tidal Waves, I beg of you.

0:04:030:04:06

Is there any particular part of the Airsault Course

0:04:060:04:08

that you're really worried about? The Vortex. The Vortex.

0:04:080:04:11

It is quite a tricky bit. You ready? Yeah. I think they're both ready.

0:04:110:04:14

All right, then, aviators, stand by.

0:04:140:04:16

Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors,

0:04:190:04:21

you're clear for takeoff.

0:04:210:04:23

True to form, they're waving,

0:04:230:04:25

ready to create a wave of destruction.

0:04:250:04:28

Oh, no!

0:04:280:04:29

AIR MARSHALL: Warning - waves of destruction not permitted.

0:04:290:04:32

Oh, they're going to be a big distraction.

0:04:320:04:34

That's what they're there for, Katie.

0:04:340:04:37

Tidal Waves launch in three, two, one.

0:04:370:04:41

And she's up.

0:04:430:04:44

And the Tidal Waves pitch up to...

0:04:440:04:47

and are through the first gate,

0:04:470:04:50

no trouble.

0:04:500:04:51

Gate one complete.

0:04:510:04:53

It's quite a measured performance here, that's no bad thing.

0:04:530:04:57

The GUARD keeping a watchful eye on proceedings.

0:05:000:05:04

Very good navigation through the letterboxes.

0:05:050:05:07

If you hit one of those and lose control,

0:05:070:05:10

it's a long way down, splat, gone!

0:05:100:05:12

Katie is in the zone there.

0:05:160:05:18

Honestly, a pink gorilla could give her a haircut

0:05:180:05:20

and she wouldn't even notice.

0:05:200:05:22

There's one doing that to me now.

0:05:220:05:25

Second gate navigated.

0:05:250:05:27

Gate two complete.

0:05:270:05:29

This is looking good.

0:05:290:05:31

DAVE: A bit more, bit more. Oh! That's it, ooh, that was close.

0:05:310:05:33

I know it was. What happens if I land?

0:05:330:05:36

It looks like she's having some trouble

0:05:360:05:38

getting into the foggy corridor.

0:05:380:05:40

Be careful with Roger!

0:05:400:05:41

OK.

0:05:410:05:42

Dolphins, I can tell you, they love sea, they hate fog.

0:05:420:05:45

She's taking her time.

0:05:470:05:49

She is, Will. Might want to pick the pace up.

0:05:490:05:51

AIR MARSHALL: Gate three complete. That's gate three done.

0:05:510:05:53

Whoa.

0:05:530:05:55

Now onto The Vortex.

0:05:550:05:57

Vortex plus Tidal Wave equals perfect storm.

0:05:570:06:00

I'll be quiet now.

0:06:000:06:01

Yeah, I know, otherwise I'll be disqualified, yeah.

0:06:010:06:05

Them's the rules.

0:06:050:06:07

Ooh, Tidal Waves are lurching around a bit.

0:06:070:06:10

It can be tough to get the drone back under control in situations

0:06:100:06:13

like this.

0:06:130:06:15

But she's good, she's good.

0:06:150:06:17

Yes, I cleared it.

0:06:170:06:19

She's not going to break any records for speed.

0:06:190:06:21

All right, Will, say it to her face if you've got a problem, mate.

0:06:210:06:25

But she gets through the gate.

0:06:250:06:26

Gate four complete.

0:06:260:06:28

Around the last pillar.

0:06:280:06:30

Am I good? DAVE: Yep.

0:06:300:06:32

Like everyone else, she's taking it very slow and steady

0:06:320:06:35

to cross that finish line. Well done! Yes!

0:06:350:06:38

Well done. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:06:380:06:40

Yes!

0:06:400:06:41

Katie looks happy with that.

0:06:410:06:42

It's a tough course and great relief when you finish it.

0:06:450:06:48

Let's hear their thoughts on it.

0:06:480:06:50

Katie, how did you find that?

0:06:500:06:52

Really, really tense.

0:06:520:06:53

Was it? And you were relying on the wingman behind you, your dad.

0:06:530:06:56

Was he good? Yes, he was, he was pretty good.

0:06:560:06:59

Did your dad give you any tips before you came on?

0:06:590:07:01

Yes, the tips were keep as calm as possible, don't panic.

0:07:010:07:06

Small inputs. And small inputs.

0:07:060:07:08

What does that mean?

0:07:080:07:09

So, Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne are best friends Gregor and Thomas.

0:07:090:07:13

Jimmy Rustlers is a slang term for people who like to cause mischief.

0:07:130:07:16

I just hope for their sake

0:07:160:07:17

they don't wind up one of the resident drones

0:07:170:07:19

because they will pay a price.

0:07:190:07:21

Gregor is a bit of an artist,

0:07:210:07:22

as you can see from this great drone design,

0:07:220:07:24

a yellow dragon spouting flames.

0:07:240:07:26

It looks fearsome, but can it fly?

0:07:260:07:28

Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne.

0:07:280:07:31

Why?

0:07:310:07:32

Jimmy Rustlers are people that like to cause mischief,

0:07:320:07:36

and they're very competitive.

0:07:360:07:38

OK. Competitive and mischievous.

0:07:380:07:40

I mean, competitive's good for this competition.

0:07:400:07:43

Are you really competitive, Thomas? Quite competitive, yeah. Yeah?

0:07:430:07:46

So how are you going to be mischievous?

0:07:460:07:48

If we get through to the Dogfight,

0:07:480:07:50

then there will be some mischievous dodging going on.

0:07:500:07:52

Some mischievous dodging!

0:07:520:07:54

OK, guys, are you ready to take this on?

0:07:540:07:57

Yeah. Yes! All right, then, let's begin the Airsault Course.

0:07:570:07:59

Aviators, stand by.

0:07:590:08:00

Start your motors, rev your rotors, you're clear for takeoff.

0:08:020:08:06

Did you ever get up to anything mischievous, Air Marshall?

0:08:060:08:09

Mischieviosity is not part of my programme.

0:08:090:08:12

Right. I'm programmed to marshal the Airsault course.

0:08:120:08:15

Yep, sorry I asked.

0:08:150:08:16

Jimmy Rustlers launch in three, two, one.

0:08:180:08:23

And Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne are airborne.

0:08:240:08:26

THOMAS: Let's do this thing!

0:08:260:08:28

Quick start there. Through the hoop.

0:08:280:08:29

That's good, keep it up, boys.

0:08:330:08:35

Confident start.

0:08:350:08:36

That's right, Will.

0:08:360:08:38

And here they are about to make a letterbox delivery.

0:08:380:08:40

Oh, that was good. Ooh, left a bit, then down...

0:08:400:08:43

..through that letterbox.

0:08:440:08:46

This is fast,

0:08:460:08:47

they are zipping through those letterboxes

0:08:470:08:49

as if they're a premium postal service.

0:08:490:08:51

I won't say which.

0:08:510:08:53

Now through that hoop. Ooh, careful, careful.

0:08:530:08:55

Good teamwork from wingman, Thomas,

0:08:550:08:58

on hand with some useful instructions,

0:08:580:09:00

guiding Gregor... Perfect! ..through the gates there.

0:09:000:09:03

And as they get down to the foggy corridor...

0:09:040:09:06

Remember, use the shadow, if you see it.

0:09:060:09:09

I don't think that I can... Oh!

0:09:090:09:11

They ding a pillar.

0:09:110:09:12

Are they going to be able to keep it together?

0:09:120:09:14

That was really close.

0:09:140:09:15

Yes, they've regained control,

0:09:150:09:18

and take the murky journey down the foggy corridor.

0:09:180:09:20

Through the hoop.

0:09:200:09:21

Remember, the time to beat is four minutes and one second.

0:09:210:09:24

Straight through the middle.

0:09:240:09:26

The GUARD making sure everything is as it should be,

0:09:260:09:28

always a strong presence on the course.

0:09:280:09:30

Oh, this is so scary. Right, down, remember?

0:09:300:09:32

Good advice from the wingman there.

0:09:320:09:34

Calm, be calm.

0:09:380:09:41

Perfect. Now up...

0:09:410:09:43

These guys have been friends since they were three

0:09:430:09:45

and enjoy strategy games together.

0:09:450:09:47

Let's hope that helps them in the real world on Airmageddon.

0:09:470:09:51

Right, through here.

0:09:510:09:52

Through the gate without issue.

0:09:520:09:54

The GUARD closing in there but they're not worried.

0:09:540:09:57

Great work!

0:09:570:09:58

They're the Jimmy Rustlers!

0:09:580:09:59

Right, final stretch, go! And... Over the finish line, go, go, go!

0:10:000:10:03

Oh, they mischievously leap over him

0:10:030:10:06

and power across the line. Excellent work, boys.

0:10:060:10:08

AIR MARSHALL: Airsault Course complete.

0:10:080:10:11

They batted that pillar and were harassed by the GUARD,

0:10:110:10:14

but in the end the Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne

0:10:140:10:17

made it through with what felt like a pretty good time, actually.

0:10:170:10:20

Thomas, how was it out there?

0:10:200:10:21

Every time we went past the fire, I kept thinking, "Oh, no,

0:10:210:10:24

"one of the blades is going to set on fire

0:10:240:10:26

"and we're going to come crashing down," but we didn't.

0:10:260:10:28

But there was a little bit of a problem,

0:10:280:10:30

wasn't there, with the fog and the pillars?

0:10:300:10:32

What went on over there?

0:10:320:10:34

I couldn't really see the shadow,

0:10:340:10:35

so I knocked into the pillar and spun off a bit.

0:10:350:10:39

Were you getting a bit worried?

0:10:390:10:41

Yeah, really worried!

0:10:410:10:42

What did you say at that point?

0:10:420:10:44

Try to steady it, and just...

0:10:440:10:47

not crash.

0:10:470:10:49

Simply put. With a time of four minutes one second,

0:10:490:10:52

Tidal Waves will need the next two teams to play really slow,

0:10:520:10:56

or crash, or both, if they expect to make it through.

0:10:560:11:00

Meet the Drifterz.

0:11:000:11:01

Mohammad is the aviator, while Toqeer is his wing dad.

0:11:010:11:05

Mohammad is a radio-control buff,

0:11:050:11:07

and is great at building and fixing radio-controlled vehicles.

0:11:070:11:10

The inspiration for Drifterz was because Mohammad noted the way

0:11:100:11:13

drones drift through the air,

0:11:130:11:14

and thinks silver is a pretty cool colour for a logo.

0:11:140:11:17

The lights were Toqeer's idea.

0:11:170:11:19

All right, Toqeer.

0:11:190:11:20

The Drifterz with a Z,

0:11:200:11:22

very cool name for some very cool customers.

0:11:220:11:25

Mohammad, you do seem very chilled out.

0:11:250:11:27

How come you are so calm?

0:11:270:11:29

Because I know I'm going to win.

0:11:290:11:30

Because he knows he's going to win! Of course he does.

0:11:300:11:33

Is there any particular part of the course

0:11:330:11:34

that you're really worried about, though? The Vortex.

0:11:340:11:37

Yeah, The Vortex. A lot of people are worried about that

0:11:370:11:39

but if you stay as cool as you are right now,

0:11:390:11:41

I think you're going to be fine. Are you ready to fly? Yup. Yes!

0:11:410:11:43

All right, then, aviators, stand by.

0:11:430:11:46

Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors, you're clear for takeoff.

0:11:460:11:50

OK, Drifterz, let'Z see what you're made of.

0:11:540:11:56

Drifterz launch in three, two, one.

0:11:570:12:03

Well, so far, they're pretty fast.

0:12:110:12:14

Made short work of the first gate

0:12:140:12:15

and nicely through the final letterbox.

0:12:150:12:19

Got them all pretty quick.

0:12:190:12:21

Mohammed likes to climb hills so he can see the view

0:12:230:12:26

but he can't see much down there with all that fog!

0:12:260:12:30

It's a good show, no major problems with the foggy corridor either.

0:12:350:12:39

Rachel and the guys watching on nervously there.

0:12:420:12:45

Well, here he is, at The Vortex,

0:12:510:12:53

he doesn't like it.

0:12:530:12:55

For those of you who like show-jumping,

0:12:550:12:57

that would count as a refusal.

0:12:570:12:59

Over there.

0:12:590:13:01

If the drain was a horse, it's not a horse.

0:13:010:13:04

Once inside, the drone horse literally gallops to the gate.

0:13:050:13:10

Just a pillar to go and ouch!

0:13:190:13:21

He really whacked that.

0:13:210:13:23

Still managing to stay in control

0:13:230:13:24

and keep the drone off the ground though.

0:13:240:13:27

And it's over the finish line.

0:13:270:13:30

CHEERING Good work.

0:13:300:13:32

Airsault Course complete.

0:13:320:13:34

It's a great run, he even had time to introduce himself

0:13:340:13:36

to one of the pillars. Hello! HE LAUGHS

0:13:360:13:39

It's good! Are you happy? Yes. Super happy.

0:13:390:13:42

But you were quite wobbly.

0:13:420:13:43

I went through The Vortex good and then I don't know what happened,

0:13:430:13:46

it just lost control and I hit the pillar. You did.

0:13:460:13:49

You recovered quite nicely. How did you manage that?

0:13:490:13:52

I just put more accelerator and went, "OK."

0:13:520:13:55

So Drifterz slip into second place,

0:13:570:14:00

coming just six seconds behind the Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne,

0:14:000:14:03

way ahead of Tidal Waves but with Rotortrismus to come,

0:14:030:14:06

anything could happen.

0:14:060:14:08

Can't wait!

0:14:080:14:10

Rotortrismus, wannabe potato farmer Leo

0:14:100:14:12

loves to customise mobility scooters,

0:14:120:14:14

while his uncle is a pretty hot drone master himself.

0:14:140:14:18

Their drone has got a camouflaged feel to it with a rotor,

0:14:180:14:21

perhaps they're hoping to sneak into the semis unnoticed

0:14:210:14:24

or something. I don't know!

0:14:240:14:25

So you guys have been waiting, everyone else has gone,

0:14:250:14:28

I mean, how's that been?

0:14:280:14:29

Has that been difficult to deal with, building up that pressure?

0:14:290:14:32

It's just a lot of suspense.

0:14:320:14:33

Yeah? Yeah. And now you're itching to get started?

0:14:330:14:36

Yeah. So, have you guys used this time, this extra time,

0:14:360:14:39

to really come up with some good tactics? Yeah.

0:14:390:14:41

Yeah, I think we've got it sorted.

0:14:410:14:43

I mean, Leo's just going to play it smooth.

0:14:430:14:45

Smooth. That's the watchword. Smooth.

0:14:450:14:47

You're a smooth operator. OK, well, let's see how smooth you are.

0:14:470:14:50

Aviators, stand by.

0:14:500:14:52

CHEERING

0:14:520:14:53

Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors, you're clear for takeoff.

0:14:530:14:57

Leo owns 3,000 pigs, but can any of them fly like our PIG?

0:15:000:15:04

AIR MARSHALL: Presenter Rachel has already made the same comparison.

0:15:040:15:08

Yeah, I know, but I thought of it first, though.

0:15:080:15:10

But she said it first. Right.

0:15:100:15:12

Rotortrismus launch in three, two, one.

0:15:120:15:17

SCOTT: You're the man, you're the man.

0:15:170:15:19

Rotortrismus is quick to get into the air.

0:15:190:15:21

Look at that! You're the man.

0:15:210:15:23

He is the man.

0:15:230:15:24

Take your time, boss, nice and slow.

0:15:240:15:26

I love that from Scott, "You're the man, you're the man."

0:15:260:15:28

That's good wingman skills.

0:15:280:15:30

Yep, I just said that. I just said that.

0:15:300:15:33

We see the mists clearing and Rotortrismus rising up

0:15:330:15:37

towards the third gate, which they slip through with ease.

0:15:370:15:41

He likes getting close to the gates.

0:15:420:15:45

All the others watching on, will one of them be grounded after this?

0:15:470:15:50

I reckon one of them has to be.

0:15:500:15:52

Here they are at The Vortex.

0:15:550:15:56

They move slowly as the mists cover their action...

0:15:560:16:00

and, and they're up, they're out.

0:16:000:16:02

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

0:16:020:16:04

Easy, easy. Oh, you're a pro, mate.

0:16:060:16:08

You're there, you're sorted. One more, one more.

0:16:080:16:11

The GUARD is shimmying but Rotortrismus don't want a dancer.

0:16:110:16:15

Right, slowly through and you've done it.

0:16:150:16:17

As they take the drone past the last pillar...

0:16:170:16:20

and over the line.

0:16:200:16:21

Yes! Top flying!

0:16:210:16:24

Lovely work, Rotortrismus.

0:16:240:16:25

AIR MARSHALL: Airsault Course complete.

0:16:250:16:27

Rotortrismus has come early.

0:16:270:16:29

So, Rotortrismus takes third place with a time of 02:22.

0:16:290:16:34

Drifterz stay in second with 02:19

0:16:340:16:37

while Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne are first with 02:13,

0:16:370:16:40

which means goodbye to Tidal Waves.

0:16:400:16:42

Goodbye and goodbye, Roger.

0:16:420:16:45

So, we know what that means.

0:16:450:16:47

It does mean that Tidal Waves, you've come fourth place,

0:16:470:16:50

you are officially grounded.

0:16:500:16:52

I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

0:16:520:16:54

First there were four but not for long,

0:16:570:16:59

as our worst performing teams continue to be eliminated

0:16:590:17:02

at each stage of the competition.

0:17:020:17:04

Indeed, one team will fail to measure up

0:17:040:17:07

after our next challenge and as challenges go,

0:17:070:17:10

it looks a little like this. PIG, take it away.

0:17:100:17:13

It's time for some laps.

0:17:180:17:20

Yes, the team that gets round the pillars the most, wins.

0:17:230:17:26

It's all about speed and taking those corners well.

0:17:260:17:29

There's a five-second advantage up for grabs in the Dogfight

0:17:290:17:32

and we'll be saying goodbye to the team who laps the least.

0:17:320:17:35

And the BUGs are back,

0:17:370:17:39

tasked with irritating the aviators and trying to make them crash,

0:17:390:17:43

pesky little things!

0:17:430:17:44

Are our teams of aviators ready for the next challenge?

0:17:440:17:47

ALL: Yes! Sounds like it to me.

0:17:470:17:49

OK, Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne,

0:17:490:17:52

how are you feeling about this challenge

0:17:520:17:53

because you were the fastest in the heats,

0:17:530:17:55

but this is very different?

0:17:550:17:57

There are BUG drones trying to put you off,

0:17:570:17:59

there's all the other teams flying, there's flames.

0:17:590:18:02

Do you reckon you can be quick again?

0:18:020:18:04

Probably, yeah.

0:18:040:18:05

We've got a few tactics but I don't think we should share them

0:18:050:18:09

in front of them. No, that would probably be a good opening tactic.

0:18:090:18:13

OK, guys, aviators, stand by.

0:18:130:18:15

Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors, you're clear for takeoff.

0:18:170:18:22

Thank you, Will, and, by the way,

0:18:220:18:23

your furry collar is looking exceptionally snuggly today,

0:18:230:18:26

don't you think, Air Marshall?

0:18:260:18:28

I think it looks quite dashing. Thank you, Air Marshall.

0:18:280:18:31

Maybe we can all snuggle up under Will's collar?

0:18:310:18:33

Aviators, stand by.

0:18:330:18:35

He's ignoring me. Great(!) Thank you.

0:18:350:18:38

Launch in three, two, one.

0:18:380:18:41

OK, so they're up.

0:18:420:18:44

SCOTT: Nice and easy, mate, nice and easy, nice and easy.

0:18:440:18:46

Round that way, round this way.

0:18:480:18:51

And they're taking a bit of time to work a game plan.

0:18:510:18:54

Remember, they score a point when they pass both pillars.

0:18:540:18:58

Keep it away, keep it away.

0:18:580:19:00

Rotortrismus' wingman is being very vocal there.

0:19:000:19:02

You promised you wouldn't say anything else!

0:19:020:19:04

It's a short-lived promise there, mate. Yeah, up, up.

0:19:040:19:07

Drifterz seem to be drifting ahead a bit.

0:19:070:19:08

They know how to drift.

0:19:080:19:10

Half a length already ahead.

0:19:100:19:13

Rotortrismus get a point on the board.

0:19:130:19:15

AIR MARSHALL: Warning - fire exceeds 500 Celsius.

0:19:170:19:21

Careful of the BUG drones and the fire.

0:19:210:19:24

Remember, kids, fire plus drones equals no pocket money.

0:19:240:19:27

But, whoa, what was that?

0:19:270:19:29

I need to see that again.

0:19:290:19:31

It's raining BUGs, hallelujah!

0:19:310:19:34

Jimmy Rustlers' starting to drop behind

0:19:350:19:38

with the Drifterz just ahead slightly.

0:19:380:19:40

Could change at any minute, though.

0:19:400:19:42

Anything could happen here.

0:19:420:19:43

Seems simple enough.

0:19:430:19:45

Actually, very complicated, this.

0:19:450:19:48

Referee drone looks so stupid.

0:19:480:19:50

Oh, that's fighting talk where I'm from, mate.

0:19:500:19:53

Hopefully the Air Marshall didn't hear that.

0:19:530:19:55

I hear everything.

0:19:550:19:57

I am programmed not to respond to provocations.

0:19:570:20:00

Unlike the BUGs. Everything bugs them.

0:20:000:20:02

Don't get any faster. Yeah, don't panic. Perfect.

0:20:040:20:07

Wing-uncle Scott there getting very involved in proceedings.

0:20:070:20:10

I can smell the passion from my commentary box, it stinks.

0:20:100:20:14

There's a BUG.

0:20:140:20:15

Drifterz are really picking up speed now.

0:20:200:20:23

One minute remains.

0:20:230:20:25

Try and speed up a bit. Just a tiny bit.

0:20:250:20:28

Drifterz looking on top here.

0:20:280:20:30

Rotortrismus and Drifterz on the same number of laps at the moment,

0:20:310:20:34

so the Jimmys may need to pull a mischievous trick out of their hat,

0:20:340:20:38

otherwise we'll be saying goodbye to them.

0:20:380:20:40

TOQEER: Little bit up, that's it, that's it.

0:20:420:20:45

Wingman sounding very happy with proceedings.

0:20:450:20:47

Fine form.

0:20:470:20:49

One more, one more. Yeah, one more. Ten seconds remain.

0:20:520:20:54

Oh, it's the countdown. Nine, eight,

0:20:540:20:57

seven, six,

0:20:570:20:59

five, four,

0:20:590:21:01

three, two, one.

0:21:010:21:03

That's it, all drones handling the laps very well.

0:21:050:21:09

In fact, there no LAPSES in concentration.

0:21:090:21:13

Laps confirmed.

0:21:130:21:15

It was a close race but the Drifterz get the advantage in the Dogfight

0:21:150:21:18

by completing 12 laps, in which they'll be facing off Rotortrismus

0:21:180:21:22

who managed 11,

0:21:220:21:23

which means we will be saying goodbye to the pesky

0:21:230:21:25

Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne, who only managed nine.

0:21:250:21:28

And sadly that does mean that you guys are grounded.

0:21:290:21:35

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:21:350:21:37

Ooh, that was a close one, wasn't it, guys?

0:21:410:21:44

Yeah. How was it out there?

0:21:440:21:46

Nerve-racking. Yeah? Thomas?

0:21:460:21:48

I think I agree with Gregor, it was very, very scary.

0:21:480:21:51

Were you ever concerned with what the other teams were doing?

0:21:510:21:54

Did you know? I didn't really look at them.

0:21:540:21:57

I kept glancing at, like, the different poles.

0:21:570:22:00

I noticed the other teams were going quite faster.

0:22:000:22:03

Who do you think might win the Dogfight?

0:22:030:22:04

I think Mohammed will. Yeah. The Drifterz? The Drifterz. Yeah.

0:22:040:22:07

Our surviving teams are hurtling towards two possible destinations -

0:22:070:22:12

victory and defeat.

0:22:120:22:14

Who ends up where will be decided in our endgame.

0:22:140:22:17

Yes, it's time for the Dogfight.

0:22:170:22:20

Aviators must pass through the entry activation gates,

0:22:250:22:28

which powers up their state-of-the-art laser cannons.

0:22:280:22:31

Once inside the flaming combat zone,

0:22:320:22:34

they're free to fire away at their opponent.

0:22:340:22:38

The aviators must use all of their piloting skill

0:22:380:22:40

and experience to evade being hit,

0:22:400:22:42

as four direct strikes to their drone will see them grounded.

0:22:420:22:46

This final battle will secure a place in the semifinal

0:22:480:22:51

for the winner and directions home for the loser.

0:22:510:22:54

They face each other for victory in the combat zone,

0:22:540:22:57

targeting each other with our state-of-the-art technology.

0:22:570:23:00

And keeping order,

0:23:000:23:01

one of our resident drones will be patrolling the no-fly zone.

0:23:010:23:05

Let's see who it is.

0:23:050:23:06

Spin the selector.

0:23:060:23:08

The WASP.

0:23:120:23:13

I've got sparks on my tail!

0:23:130:23:16

It's the WASP.

0:23:200:23:21

So, teams, the no-fly zones are to be avoided,

0:23:230:23:26

unless you want to experience the sting in the tail of the WASP.

0:23:260:23:29

Yeah, and you don't want to experience that.

0:23:290:23:32

I mean, Mohammed, what are you going to do to try and avoid that WASP?

0:23:320:23:35

Try and duck and dive. Duck and dive. I like it, that's good.

0:23:350:23:37

OK. Well, it sounds to me like you guys are ready.

0:23:370:23:40

So, aviators, stand by.

0:23:400:23:44

Calibrate your sights, check all your systems.

0:23:440:23:47

This is the Dogfight.

0:23:470:23:49

You're clear for takeoff.

0:23:490:23:50

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:23:500:23:53

Aviators, stand by.

0:23:550:23:58

Drifterz launch in three, two, one.

0:24:040:24:08

Rotortrismus launch.

0:24:120:24:15

It's a go!

0:24:150:24:17

Red team targeting systems engaged.

0:24:170:24:19

Green team targeting systems engaged.

0:24:220:24:24

Both teams can now fire at will.

0:24:260:24:28

Not our Will, he's a lovely chap.

0:24:280:24:30

Dad...

0:24:320:24:34

Both keeping their distance.

0:24:350:24:37

WASP lighting up the Airena with his sparks.

0:24:370:24:41

Being very cautious at the moment.

0:24:410:24:44

This is turning into quite the psychological battle

0:24:440:24:46

as each of them size each other up.

0:24:460:24:48

Who's going to make the first move?

0:24:480:24:50

Tentative start.

0:24:520:24:54

They've got some good tactics here now, but we're good.

0:24:540:24:57

They're just waiting, they're just camping, yeah?

0:24:590:25:01

We know the score, mate, they're just camping.

0:25:010:25:03

Yes, I suppose they are camping.

0:25:030:25:05

This is definitely IN-TENTS. HE LAUGHS

0:25:050:25:09

I wonder if they've got some marshmallows for those campfires?

0:25:090:25:12

Good flying, Leo, it's nice and smooth, I love it.

0:25:120:25:15

And only drop on the throttle, yeah?

0:25:180:25:20

Just a battle of nerves.

0:25:230:25:25

It certainly is, Will. Who is going to get the first shot in?

0:25:250:25:28

It's like chess but no-one's actually playing.

0:25:280:25:30

Pow! First strike to Rotortrismus.

0:25:300:25:32

Drifterz now have three lives remaining.

0:25:320:25:36

Drifterz were first to blink and Rotortrismus was first to pounce.

0:25:360:25:40

Drifterz looking for some payback.

0:25:400:25:42

Not quite managing it, though.

0:25:420:25:44

And look, Rotortrismus has got them again.

0:25:470:25:49

Two lives remaining.

0:25:490:25:51

You can see Drifterz were trying to move in for a shot.

0:25:510:25:54

Rotortrismus got in there first, though.

0:25:540:25:56

Brilliant flying, Leo.

0:25:560:25:58

Drifterz fire but it's a miss.

0:25:580:26:00

That's wicked.

0:26:000:26:02

Drifterz looking for some payback, not quite managing it.

0:26:020:26:05

Now, now, everything you're doing,

0:26:050:26:07

you've been perfect. It's been so smooth.

0:26:070:26:09

We're one up. They have to come and get us.

0:26:130:26:15

Er, you're actually two lives up.

0:26:150:26:17

And that's another strike to Rotortrismus.

0:26:190:26:22

They now have three, Drifterz have nil and that's quite a lead.

0:26:220:26:26

Drifterz really need to get something at this stage

0:26:260:26:28

or it will all be over.

0:26:280:26:30

Rapid laser fire there.

0:26:310:26:34

Drifterz trying something new,

0:26:340:26:35

moving round to try and get a clear shot but they miss.

0:26:350:26:38

Rotortrismus fire back and it's all over!

0:26:380:26:41

What a display.

0:26:410:26:43

A truly deserving semifinalist there.

0:26:430:26:46

Rotortrismus had a great last round,

0:26:460:26:47

dodging lasers but returning fire with incredible precision.

0:26:470:26:51

Dogfight over.

0:26:510:26:53

So, that's it. Another heat, another team through to the semis.

0:26:530:26:56

In the end, the Jimmy Rustlers: Airbornes were wrong

0:26:560:26:58

when they thought the Drifterz could win,

0:26:580:27:00

as they were comprehensively beaten by Rotortrismus in a 4-0 rout.

0:27:000:27:04

I think that shows how they're feeling. How are you feeling?

0:27:040:27:07

Great. Yeah, excited. Well done, guys. It was fab.

0:27:070:27:09

SCOTT: Yeah, brilliant flying from Leo. He kept his nerve.

0:27:090:27:13

He was a little bit kind of anxious at the beginning but good flying.

0:27:130:27:16

Very vocal wingman as well. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, sorry!

0:27:160:27:18

Well, you guys did a great job.

0:27:180:27:19

Unfortunately, though, that does mean that, Drifterz,

0:27:190:27:22

you guys are grounded but, Toqeer, you've had a good day,

0:27:220:27:25

have you enjoyed it? Very nice. Excellent.

0:27:250:27:27

And, Mohammed? Yep, I had a sick day.

0:27:270:27:29

Great. Good stuff, guys.

0:27:290:27:31

Well, congratulations, Rotortrismus, we'll see you in the semifinal.

0:27:310:27:35

The semis! Ooh! Until then, though,

0:27:350:27:37

it's time for Airmageddon to power down.

0:27:370:27:39

And for these guys to step up.

0:27:390:27:41

My Airmageddon highlight was the air assault course.

0:27:410:27:45

Oh, yes!

0:27:470:27:49

Don't go slow!

0:27:490:27:50

Woo! Yes!

0:27:510:27:53

I'm really happy for our team.

0:27:530:27:54

We got this far and we did our best.

0:27:540:27:57

I feel a bit nervous going into the semifinals

0:27:590:28:01

but hopefully we'll have a good shot at it.

0:28:010:28:04

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:28:040:28:07

Airmageddon power down.
