I think the best part of the rematch was that Ghost Raptor managed to win despite disabling its own weapon and getting whacked by the sledgehammer, simply by pushing CompleteControl around.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah there used to be really strict rules against using nets or tangling devices but for this season they rewrote that rule so that technically it didn't say that but you could tell that was still the spirit of the rule. The Complete Control team thought they'd found a loophole so they pulled this stunt on the Ghost Raptor and absolutely everyone turned on them in about .05 of a second. It was a dick move and it was really satisfying to see them get their asses kicked in the rematch. You have to admit, the birthday present full of net was really funny though

Judge Schnoopy posted:Getting off the highway with snow smeared on the windshield without any wiper blades was almost more of a white knuckle experience than getting hit with the ice. Try having your hood flip up on you. I had it happen twice in a 95 Civic when it was around 10 years old. Didn't break the windshield, thankfully. But gently caress that's terrifying.

And drafting dumb rules because someone found a great advantage is dumb as gently caress.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:No, it was awesome. The net was always banned, just not by name. The rules for the 2015 competition prohibit "squirting glue, throwing out fishing line, ball bearings, and such." It was in the same spirit as the original 1990s and early 2000s rules that banned nets, but didn't specifically mention them by name so they tried to exploit the loophole and use a net for an instant win. You can see exactly why tangling weapons like nets and fishing line are banned by watching how unbeatable it is.

Glue and fishing line and ball bearings would be amazing. Nets too powerful? Get better bots. Attach a flame thrower and burn them nets off.

Its dumb that they even got into the ring with that whole 'net wrapped in a present' set-up. I'm not against robots having the element of surprise against their opponents but not a secret to the show producers, etc.. Each bot and their weapons should be inspected by the judges before the match begins, at the very least when they were loading a box onto their bot someone should have asked what was in it before letting it get into the ring. Theres nothing in the rules about not having a robot bring random crap not attached to it into a fight? Even if the box was empty the robot was bringing in an outside obstacle. poo poo makes me think they knew what the deal was but allowed it to make the show interesting.

It's beause robot fights is a freakshow circus that you watch to laugh about with friends while you come up with shot-drinking minigames and not a sport and the producers know this. They should care even less about it though as the more gladiator-like weapons and explosions the better.

Parts Kit posted:Maybe if it was done immediately, but good leather couches are stupid expensive and people who own them are crazy about protecting them. Chances are they got a good reaming from the owner if they found out. I was like that until I had kids. Then I was just glad I could wipe vomit off the leather, as opposed to it soaking into a cloth couch.
