I think SJWbot got that round... but what was the point of those minibots? They did gently caress-all.

Warhead owns, bots with spinners seem to be the best.

Every bot channels Ziggo it seems.

Bite Force is mugging to the crowd... I remember when this sport was about the game not the grandstanding.

Is Ziggo coming back?

Also important, does Grant Imahara have a bot in the field?

Some of you might be thinking "hmm, Complete Control sounds familiar for some reason."

This is why:

I had forgotten Complete Control had goon sponsorship.
Still though, a hybrid wedge/flipper bot?
Two things most people loathe in a Battlebot.

We want massive carnage not a flippybot.

That exact sticker is the reason I'm posting here today. I saw it in person at Battlebots, and made a mental note to remember that website (and then lurk for 4 years before registering). If it was good enough for Complete Control, it must be a great website!

LURK MORE FUCKER!

Like drop a shotput right onto their flipper mechanism on borebots like Biohazard.

Yep, and thanks. Ppl on social media have been recalling my old something awful sponsorship from season 5 as a sign of me being a masterclass troll.

Haha, that's great.

Pretty good bouts tonight.
I was entertained.

We learned that Icewave is for real and Bronco has got game and Plan X was a wolf in sheep's clothing all along.
I hope Stinger can advance because I'm a sucker for a good plumber story... like Mario.

Ghost Raptor is essentially hosed without it's blade.

By the by though, this is really Tombstone's bracket run to lose... that thing is just pure concentrated carnage.

I :h:

Battlebots! :neckbeard:

The other floor hazards seem to be controlled by someone else. They definitely don't seem automatic.

This is true, they are controlled by someone else and they seem to only kick in during the last minute or so of a bout to add another layer on a long match. The old CC version used them more early and more often it seemed. I liked that the killsaws are used more sparingly, those rando traps shouldn't decide a fight. Bots want to kill... let them kill.

Witch Doctor and Shaman continue to own, even when Shaman's flamethrower is busted.

Shaman needs to call the Gas Company because it's gotta faulty pilot light.

I want Stinger to pull it off.

Tombstone v Witch Doctor is next...

Raw spinning power beats out :keke:

cat ears is my take.

Well, Tombstone's Achilles Heel has been exposed.
All that armor on Witch Doctor hurt Tombstone's offensive ability a lot.

Witch Doctor did better than I thought it would. I thought Tombstone could chew through any armor.

Tombstone's march through the earlier brackets were against some real paper tigers.
That one bot Tombstone destroyed was made of loving plastic FFS.

Bronco v Tombstone very well could be a fight Bronco could dominate since it's a brick shithouse tank.

Literally could go either way...

I think Bite Force might have more visible puncture wounds if it comes down to that.

CINDERELLA BOT... OUT OF NOWHERE!

# ¿ Jul 20, 2015 02:58

Robnoxious: Feb 17, 2004

Let this be a lesson to all bot makers that they really need to consider adding a mechanism to right itself in the event of a flip.

Ice Wave needed some kind of piston at the top to perhaps right itself once upside down.

It's two thousand and mother loving fifteen, son! :bahgawd:

Xelkelvos posted:

Its basically a major design flaw and I don't think they could put a piston strong enough at the top to fit with its ICE.

Yeah, you are prolly right.

Ice Wave v Bronco would be a poo poo show match anyways since if one of Bronco's flips lands Ice Wave on it's head (which because most on it's weight is there it likely has a greater % of landing tits up) Ice Wave is obviously dunso.
