Welcome to Airmageddon, TV's ultimate test of airborne skill... | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
Get out the way! | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
..and radio-controlled mayhem. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
32 teams of wannabe aviators from across the UK... | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
Yeah! | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
..will do battle in the Airena with their customised drones. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:19 | |
Only those with the skill... | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
Yes! ..the luck and the aerial courage... | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
Go, go, go, go. ..will make it through. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
It'll blow the bogies out of your nose. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
Yeah! | 0:00:26 | 0:00:27 | |
It's Airmageddon! | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
Welcome back to Airmageddon. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Prepare yourselves for some incredible and unforgettable | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
action here in the home of drone. We'll be taking off in moments, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
but first, it's time for our pre-flight checklist. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Hi-tech combat drones with precision targeting systems? | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Check. A purpose-built Airena, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
designed specifically for drone-on-drone competition? | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Check. Four super-skilled pilots? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Check, check, check, check. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Well, let's meet them. It's time to see our aviators. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
CHEERING | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
First out the door are Gregor and best friend Thomas, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
who are the Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
Next out is Tidal Waves, Katie and her dad, Dave. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
Drifterz with a Z are a son and father team, Mohammad and Toqeer. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
And last out are Rotortrismus who are Leo and his uncle Scott. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
Hello, teams. Are you ready for Airmageddon? | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
ALL: Yeah! Excellent. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
Well, here's one team that's definitely up for it, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Dave and Katie. How confident are you that you're going to stay afloat | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
throughout this competition? Very confident, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
cos we chose the name Tidal Waves | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
because we're going to come crashing down on everyone else. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
Oh, my goodness, fighting talk. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
Rotortrismus, did you hear that? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
Yes. I did too. Are you confident? | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Yes, we are. Leo, I hear that you have 3,000 pigs. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
How come? Cos I live on a farm. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Oh, you live on a farm, OK, well, we have a PIG here, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
and I don't think your pigs will be as cool as him. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Anyway, we've said hello to our teams... | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
And now let's say hello to my personalised interactive gyrocopter, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
a state-of-the-art PIG class drone. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
His friends call him PIG | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
and I don't call him unless I really, really have to. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
Yes, but you do right now, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
because it's the first of our challenges, Will. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
So, PIG, what are our teams getting up to? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
The Airsault Course. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Our aviators will take their drones through the first gate, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
round the pillars and then into and through three Letterboxes of Luck. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
Up to another gate and then dropped down into the foggy corridor, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
where visibility is a major issue. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
One more gate before the Vortex, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
and if you're wondering how high that is, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
it's about the height of an adult giraffe at full stretch. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
So there you go. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
Then it's the final gate, round another pillar, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
and then they hare it across the line. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Thank you, PIG. So, that's the course. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
We could make it easier, but where's the fun in that? | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
Precisely. We want to test the best, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
although here's someone who might want to make that test | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
even more difficult. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
The GUARD takes his job very seriously | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
and does not like it when you stray into his sights. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
You have been warned. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
The Airsault Course is ready, so let's get this show in the air. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
Let's meet our first team, it's Tidal Waves. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
So, Tidal Waves' Katie is a keen climber | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
and she likes to go go-karting. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
Both of these activities require skills that will be very handy | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
in the Airena. Her drone design has a sea theme, | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
it's painted blue and has a dolphin atop of it, who I've called Roger. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
Please look after Roger, Tidal Waves, I beg of you. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
Is there any particular part of the Airsault Course | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
that you're really worried about? The Vortex. The Vortex. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
It is quite a tricky bit. You ready? Yeah. I think they're both ready. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
All right, then, aviators, stand by. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
you're clear for takeoff. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
True to form, they're waving, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
ready to create a wave of destruction. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
Oh, no! | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
AIR MARSHALL: Warning - waves of destruction not permitted. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
Oh, they're going to be a big distraction. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
That's what they're there for, Katie. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Tidal Waves launch in three, two, one. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
And she's up. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
And the Tidal Waves pitch up to... | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
and are through the first gate, | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
no trouble. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
Gate one complete. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
It's quite a measured performance here, that's no bad thing. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
The GUARD keeping a watchful eye on proceedings. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
Very good navigation through the letterboxes. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
If you hit one of those and lose control, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
it's a long way down, splat, gone! | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
Katie is in the zone there. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
Honestly, a pink gorilla could give her a haircut | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
and she wouldn't even notice. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
There's one doing that to me now. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
Second gate navigated. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Gate two complete. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
This is looking good. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
DAVE: A bit more, bit more. Oh! That's it, ooh, that was close. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
I know it was. What happens if I land? | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
It looks like she's having some trouble | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
getting into the foggy corridor. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Be careful with Roger! | 0:05:40 | 0:05:41 | |
OK. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:42 | |
Dolphins, I can tell you, they love sea, they hate fog. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
She's taking her time. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
She is, Will. Might want to pick the pace up. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
AIR MARSHALL: Gate three complete. That's gate three done. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
Whoa. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
Now onto The Vortex. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
Vortex plus Tidal Wave equals perfect storm. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
I'll be quiet now. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:01 | |
Yeah, I know, otherwise I'll be disqualified, yeah. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
Them's the rules. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
Ooh, Tidal Waves are lurching around a bit. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
It can be tough to get the drone back under control in situations | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
like this. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
But she's good, she's good. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
Yes, I cleared it. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
She's not going to break any records for speed. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
All right, Will, say it to her face if you've got a problem, mate. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
But she gets through the gate. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
Gate four complete. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Around the last pillar. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
Am I good? DAVE: Yep. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
Like everyone else, she's taking it very slow and steady | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
to cross that finish line. Well done! Yes! | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
Well done. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
Yes! | 0:06:40 | 0:06:41 | |
Katie looks happy with that. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:42 | |
It's a tough course and great relief when you finish it. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Let's hear their thoughts on it. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Katie, how did you find that? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Really, really tense. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:53 | |
Was it? And you were relying on the wingman behind you, your dad. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
Was he good? Yes, he was, he was pretty good. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
Did your dad give you any tips before you came on? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
Yes, the tips were keep as calm as possible, don't panic. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
Small inputs. And small inputs. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
What does that mean? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:09 | |
So, Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne are best friends Gregor and Thomas. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
Jimmy Rustlers is a slang term for people who like to cause mischief. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
I just hope for their sake | 0:07:16 | 0:07:17 | |
they don't wind up one of the resident drones | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
because they will pay a price. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
Gregor is a bit of an artist, | 0:07:21 | 0:07:22 | |
as you can see from this great drone design, | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
a yellow dragon spouting flames. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
It looks fearsome, but can it fly? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
Why? | 0:07:31 | 0:07:32 | |
Jimmy Rustlers are people that like to cause mischief, | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
and they're very competitive. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
OK. Competitive and mischievous. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
I mean, competitive's good for this competition. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
Are you really competitive, Thomas? Quite competitive, yeah. Yeah? | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
So how are you going to be mischievous? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
If we get through to the Dogfight, | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
then there will be some mischievous dodging going on. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
Some mischievous dodging! | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
OK, guys, are you ready to take this on? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
Yeah. Yes! All right, then, let's begin the Airsault Course. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
Aviators, stand by. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:00 | |
Start your motors, rev your rotors, you're clear for takeoff. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
Did you ever get up to anything mischievous, Air Marshall? | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
Mischieviosity is not part of my programme. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
Right. I'm programmed to marshal the Airsault course. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
Yep, sorry I asked. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:16 | |
Jimmy Rustlers launch in three, two, one. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
And Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne are airborne. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
THOMAS: Let's do this thing! | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
Quick start there. Through the hoop. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:29 | |
That's good, keep it up, boys. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
Confident start. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
That's right, Will. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
And here they are about to make a letterbox delivery. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Oh, that was good. Ooh, left a bit, then down... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
..through that letterbox. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
This is fast, | 0:08:46 | 0:08:47 | |
they are zipping through those letterboxes | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
as if they're a premium postal service. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
I won't say which. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Now through that hoop. Ooh, careful, careful. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
Good teamwork from wingman, Thomas, | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
on hand with some useful instructions, | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
guiding Gregor... Perfect! ..through the gates there. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
And as they get down to the foggy corridor... | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
Remember, use the shadow, if you see it. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
I don't think that I can... Oh! | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
They ding a pillar. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:12 | |
Are they going to be able to keep it together? | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
That was really close. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
Yes, they've regained control, | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
and take the murky journey down the foggy corridor. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
Through the hoop. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
Remember, the time to beat is four minutes and one second. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
Straight through the middle. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
The GUARD making sure everything is as it should be, | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
always a strong presence on the course. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
Oh, this is so scary. Right, down, remember? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
Good advice from the wingman there. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
Calm, be calm. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
Perfect. Now up... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
These guys have been friends since they were three | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
and enjoy strategy games together. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
Let's hope that helps them in the real world on Airmageddon. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
Right, through here. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
Through the gate without issue. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
The GUARD closing in there but they're not worried. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
Great work! | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 | |
They're the Jimmy Rustlers! | 0:09:58 | 0:09:59 | |
Right, final stretch, go! And... Over the finish line, go, go, go! | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
Oh, they mischievously leap over him | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
and power across the line. Excellent work, boys. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
AIR MARSHALL: Airsault Course complete. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
They batted that pillar and were harassed by the GUARD, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
but in the end the Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
made it through with what felt like a pretty good time, actually. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
Thomas, how was it out there? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 | |
Every time we went past the fire, I kept thinking, "Oh, no, | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
"one of the blades is going to set on fire | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
"and we're going to come crashing down," but we didn't. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
But there was a little bit of a problem, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
wasn't there, with the fog and the pillars? | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
What went on over there? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
I couldn't really see the shadow, | 0:10:34 | 0:10:35 | |
so I knocked into the pillar and spun off a bit. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
Were you getting a bit worried? | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Yeah, really worried! | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
What did you say at that point? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
Try to steady it, and just... | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
not crash. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
Simply put. With a time of four minutes one second, | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
Tidal Waves will need the next two teams to play really slow, | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
or crash, or both, if they expect to make it through. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
Meet the Drifterz. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:01 | |
Mohammad is the aviator, while Toqeer is his wing dad. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
Mohammad is a radio-control buff, | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
and is great at building and fixing radio-controlled vehicles. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
The inspiration for Drifterz was because Mohammad noted the way | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
drones drift through the air, | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
and thinks silver is a pretty cool colour for a logo. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
The lights were Toqeer's idea. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
All right, Toqeer. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:20 | |
The Drifterz with a Z, | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
very cool name for some very cool customers. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
Mohammad, you do seem very chilled out. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
How come you are so calm? | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
Because I know I'm going to win. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:30 | |
Because he knows he's going to win! Of course he does. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
Is there any particular part of the course | 0:11:33 | 0:11:34 | |
that you're really worried about, though? The Vortex. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
Yeah, The Vortex. A lot of people are worried about that | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
but if you stay as cool as you are right now, | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
I think you're going to be fine. Are you ready to fly? Yup. Yes! | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
All right, then, aviators, stand by. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors, you're clear for takeoff. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
OK, Drifterz, let'Z see what you're made of. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Drifterz launch in three, two, one. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:03 | |
Well, so far, they're pretty fast. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Made short work of the first gate | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
and nicely through the final letterbox. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
Got them all pretty quick. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
Mohammed likes to climb hills so he can see the view | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
but he can't see much down there with all that fog! | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
It's a good show, no major problems with the foggy corridor either. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
Rachel and the guys watching on nervously there. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
Well, here he is, at The Vortex, | 0:12:51 | 0:12:53 | |
he doesn't like it. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
For those of you who like show-jumping, | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
that would count as a refusal. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Over there. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
If the drain was a horse, it's not a horse. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
Once inside, the drone horse literally gallops to the gate. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:10 | |
Just a pillar to go and ouch! | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
He really whacked that. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
Still managing to stay in control | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
and keep the drone off the ground though. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
And it's over the finish line. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
CHEERING Good work. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
Airsault Course complete. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
It's a great run, he even had time to introduce himself | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
to one of the pillars. Hello! HE LAUGHS | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
It's good! Are you happy? Yes. Super happy. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
But you were quite wobbly. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
I went through The Vortex good and then I don't know what happened, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
it just lost control and I hit the pillar. You did. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
You recovered quite nicely. How did you manage that? | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
I just put more accelerator and went, "OK." | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
So Drifterz slip into second place, | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
coming just six seconds behind the Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne, | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
way ahead of Tidal Waves but with Rotortrismus to come, | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
anything could happen. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
Can't wait! | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Rotortrismus, wannabe potato farmer Leo | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
loves to customise mobility scooters, | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
while his uncle is a pretty hot drone master himself. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
Their drone has got a camouflaged feel to it with a rotor, | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
perhaps they're hoping to sneak into the semis unnoticed | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
or something. I don't know! | 0:14:24 | 0:14:25 | |
So you guys have been waiting, everyone else has gone, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
I mean, how's that been? | 0:14:28 | 0:14:29 | |
Has that been difficult to deal with, building up that pressure? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
It's just a lot of suspense. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:33 | |
Yeah? Yeah. And now you're itching to get started? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
Yeah. So, have you guys used this time, this extra time, | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
to really come up with some good tactics? Yeah. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
Yeah, I think we've got it sorted. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
I mean, Leo's just going to play it smooth. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
Smooth. That's the watchword. Smooth. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
You're a smooth operator. OK, well, let's see how smooth you are. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
Aviators, stand by. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
CHEERING | 0:14:52 | 0:14:53 | |
Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors, you're clear for takeoff. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
Leo owns 3,000 pigs, but can any of them fly like our PIG? | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
AIR MARSHALL: Presenter Rachel has already made the same comparison. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
Yeah, I know, but I thought of it first, though. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
But she said it first. Right. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
Rotortrismus launch in three, two, one. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:17 | |
SCOTT: You're the man, you're the man. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
Rotortrismus is quick to get into the air. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
Look at that! You're the man. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
He is the man. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:24 | |
Take your time, boss, nice and slow. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
I love that from Scott, "You're the man, you're the man." | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
That's good wingman skills. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
Yep, I just said that. I just said that. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
We see the mists clearing and Rotortrismus rising up | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
towards the third gate, which they slip through with ease. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
He likes getting close to the gates. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
All the others watching on, will one of them be grounded after this? | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
I reckon one of them has to be. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
Here they are at The Vortex. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:56 | |
They move slowly as the mists cover their action... | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
and, and they're up, they're out. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
Easy, easy. Oh, you're a pro, mate. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
You're there, you're sorted. One more, one more. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
The GUARD is shimmying but Rotortrismus don't want a dancer. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
Right, slowly through and you've done it. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
As they take the drone past the last pillar... | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
and over the line. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:21 | |
Yes! Top flying! | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
Lovely work, Rotortrismus. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:25 | |
AIR MARSHALL: Airsault Course complete. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
Rotortrismus has come early. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
So, Rotortrismus takes third place with a time of 02:22. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:34 | |
Drifterz stay in second with 02:19 | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
while Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne are first with 02:13, | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
which means goodbye to Tidal Waves. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
Goodbye and goodbye, Roger. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
So, we know what that means. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
It does mean that Tidal Waves, you've come fourth place, | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
you are officially grounded. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
I'm going to have to ask you to leave. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
First there were four but not for long, | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
as our worst performing teams continue to be eliminated | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
at each stage of the competition. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Indeed, one team will fail to measure up | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
after our next challenge and as challenges go, | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
it looks a little like this. PIG, take it away. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
It's time for some laps. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
Yes, the team that gets round the pillars the most, wins. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
It's all about speed and taking those corners well. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
There's a five-second advantage up for grabs in the Dogfight | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
and we'll be saying goodbye to the team who laps the least. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
And the BUGs are back, | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
tasked with irritating the aviators and trying to make them crash, | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
pesky little things! | 0:17:43 | 0:17:44 | |
Are our teams of aviators ready for the next challenge? | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
ALL: Yes! Sounds like it to me. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
OK, Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne, | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
how are you feeling about this challenge | 0:17:52 | 0:17:53 | |
because you were the fastest in the heats, | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
but this is very different? | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
There are BUG drones trying to put you off, | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
there's all the other teams flying, there's flames. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
Do you reckon you can be quick again? | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
Probably, yeah. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
We've got a few tactics but I don't think we should share them | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
in front of them. No, that would probably be a good opening tactic. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
OK, guys, aviators, stand by. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
Fire up your motors, rev up your rotors, you're clear for takeoff. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
Thank you, Will, and, by the way, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:23 | |
your furry collar is looking exceptionally snuggly today, | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
don't you think, Air Marshall? | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
I think it looks quite dashing. Thank you, Air Marshall. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:31 | |
Maybe we can all snuggle up under Will's collar? | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
Aviators, stand by. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
He's ignoring me. Great(!) Thank you. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
Launch in three, two, one. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
OK, so they're up. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
SCOTT: Nice and easy, mate, nice and easy, nice and easy. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
Round that way, round this way. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
And they're taking a bit of time to work a game plan. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
Remember, they score a point when they pass both pillars. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
Keep it away, keep it away. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
Rotortrismus' wingman is being very vocal there. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
You promised you wouldn't say anything else! | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
It's a short-lived promise there, mate. Yeah, up, up. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
Drifterz seem to be drifting ahead a bit. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:08 | |
They know how to drift. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
Half a length already ahead. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
Rotortrismus get a point on the board. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
AIR MARSHALL: Warning - fire exceeds 500 Celsius. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
Careful of the BUG drones and the fire. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
Remember, kids, fire plus drones equals no pocket money. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
But, whoa, what was that? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
I need to see that again. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
It's raining BUGs, hallelujah! | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
Jimmy Rustlers' starting to drop behind | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
with the Drifterz just ahead slightly. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
Could change at any minute, though. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
Anything could happen here. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:43 | |
Seems simple enough. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Actually, very complicated, this. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
Referee drone looks so stupid. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
Oh, that's fighting talk where I'm from, mate. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
Hopefully the Air Marshall didn't hear that. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
I hear everything. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
I am programmed not to respond to provocations. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
Unlike the BUGs. Everything bugs them. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
Don't get any faster. Yeah, don't panic. Perfect. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
Wing-uncle Scott there getting very involved in proceedings. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
I can smell the passion from my commentary box, it stinks. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
There's a BUG. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:15 | |
Drifterz are really picking up speed now. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
One minute remains. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
Try and speed up a bit. Just a tiny bit. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
Drifterz looking on top here. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
Rotortrismus and Drifterz on the same number of laps at the moment, | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
so the Jimmys may need to pull a mischievous trick out of their hat, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
otherwise we'll be saying goodbye to them. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
TOQEER: Little bit up, that's it, that's it. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
Wingman sounding very happy with proceedings. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
Fine form. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
One more, one more. Yeah, one more. Ten seconds remain. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Oh, it's the countdown. Nine, eight, | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
seven, six, | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
five, four, | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
three, two, one. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
That's it, all drones handling the laps very well. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
In fact, there no LAPSES in concentration. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
Laps confirmed. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
It was a close race but the Drifterz get the advantage in the Dogfight | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
by completing 12 laps, in which they'll be facing off Rotortrismus | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
who managed 11, | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
which means we will be saying goodbye to the pesky | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Jimmy Rustlers: Airborne, who only managed nine. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
And sadly that does mean that you guys are grounded. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:35 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
Ooh, that was a close one, wasn't it, guys? | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
Yeah. How was it out there? | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Nerve-racking. Yeah? Thomas? | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
I think I agree with Gregor, it was very, very scary. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
Were you ever concerned with what the other teams were doing? | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
Did you know? I didn't really look at them. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
I kept glancing at, like, the different poles. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
I noticed the other teams were going quite faster. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
Who do you think might win the Dogfight? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:04 | |
I think Mohammed will. Yeah. The Drifterz? The Drifterz. Yeah. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
Our surviving teams are hurtling towards two possible destinations - | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
victory and defeat. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
Who ends up where will be decided in our endgame. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
Yes, it's time for the Dogfight. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
Aviators must pass through the entry activation gates, | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
which powers up their state-of-the-art laser cannons. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Once inside the flaming combat zone, | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
they're free to fire away at their opponent. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
The aviators must use all of their piloting skill | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
and experience to evade being hit, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
as four direct strikes to their drone will see them grounded. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
This final battle will secure a place in the semifinal | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
for the winner and directions home for the loser. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
They face each other for victory in the combat zone, | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
targeting each other with our state-of-the-art technology. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
And keeping order, | 0:23:00 | 0:23:01 | |
one of our resident drones will be patrolling the no-fly zone. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
Let's see who it is. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:06 | |
Spin the selector. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
The WASP. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:13 | |
I've got sparks on my tail! | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
It's the WASP. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:21 | |
So, teams, the no-fly zones are to be avoided, | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
unless you want to experience the sting in the tail of the WASP. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
Yeah, and you don't want to experience that. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
I mean, Mohammed, what are you going to do to try and avoid that WASP? | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
Try and duck and dive. Duck and dive. I like it, that's good. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
OK. Well, it sounds to me like you guys are ready. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
So, aviators, stand by. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
Calibrate your sights, check all your systems. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
This is the Dogfight. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
You're clear for takeoff. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:50 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
Aviators, stand by. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
Drifterz launch in three, two, one. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
Rotortrismus launch. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
It's a go! | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
Red team targeting systems engaged. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
Green team targeting systems engaged. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
Both teams can now fire at will. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
Not our Will, he's a lovely chap. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
Dad... | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Both keeping their distance. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
WASP lighting up the Airena with his sparks. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
Being very cautious at the moment. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
This is turning into quite the psychological battle | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
as each of them size each other up. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
Who's going to make the first move? | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
Tentative start. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
They've got some good tactics here now, but we're good. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
They're just waiting, they're just camping, yeah? | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
We know the score, mate, they're just camping. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Yes, I suppose they are camping. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
This is definitely IN-TENTS. HE LAUGHS | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
I wonder if they've got some marshmallows for those campfires? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
Good flying, Leo, it's nice and smooth, I love it. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
And only drop on the throttle, yeah? | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
Just a battle of nerves. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
It certainly is, Will. Who is going to get the first shot in? | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
It's like chess but no-one's actually playing. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
Pow! First strike to Rotortrismus. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
Drifterz now have three lives remaining. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
Drifterz were first to blink and Rotortrismus was first to pounce. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
Drifterz looking for some payback. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
Not quite managing it, though. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
And look, Rotortrismus has got them again. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
Two lives remaining. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
You can see Drifterz were trying to move in for a shot. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
Rotortrismus got in there first, though. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
Brilliant flying, Leo. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
Drifterz fire but it's a miss. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
That's wicked. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
Drifterz looking for some payback, not quite managing it. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
Now, now, everything you're doing, | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
you've been perfect. It's been so smooth. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
We're one up. They have to come and get us. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
Er, you're actually two lives up. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
And that's another strike to Rotortrismus. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
They now have three, Drifterz have nil and that's quite a lead. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:26 | |
Drifterz really need to get something at this stage | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
or it will all be over. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
Rapid laser fire there. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
Drifterz trying something new, | 0:26:34 | 0:26:35 | |
moving round to try and get a clear shot but they miss. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
Rotortrismus fire back and it's all over! | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
What a display. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
A truly deserving semifinalist there. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
Rotortrismus had a great last round, | 0:26:46 | 0:26:47 | |
dodging lasers but returning fire with incredible precision. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
Dogfight over. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
So, that's it. Another heat, another team through to the semis. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
In the end, the Jimmy Rustlers: Airbornes were wrong | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
when they thought the Drifterz could win, | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
as they were comprehensively beaten by Rotortrismus in a 4-0 rout. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
I think that shows how they're feeling. How are you feeling? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
Great. Yeah, excited. Well done, guys. It was fab. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
SCOTT: Yeah, brilliant flying from Leo. He kept his nerve. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
He was a little bit kind of anxious at the beginning but good flying. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
Very vocal wingman as well. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, sorry! | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
Well, you guys did a great job. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:19 | |
Unfortunately, though, that does mean that, Drifterz, | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
you guys are grounded but, Toqeer, you've had a good day, | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
have you enjoyed it? Very nice. Excellent. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
And, Mohammed? Yep, I had a sick day. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
Great. Good stuff, guys. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
Well, congratulations, Rotortrismus, we'll see you in the semifinal. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
The semis! Ooh! Until then, though, | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
it's time for Airmageddon to power down. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
And for these guys to step up. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
My Airmageddon highlight was the air assault course. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:45 | |
Oh, yes! | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
Don't go slow! | 0:27:49 | 0:27:50 | |
Woo! Yes! | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
I'm really happy for our team. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:54 | |
We got this far and we did our best. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
I feel a bit nervous going into the semifinals | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
but hopefully we'll have a good shot at it. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
Airmageddon power down. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 |
