Narsham posted:Look again at the very start of the fight. Duck trundles out, takes a few hits, and then suddenly speeds up massively and barely avoids ramming itself into the spikes. That suggests something might have been amiss with speed control. That's what I was thinking. It doesn't make sense that Duck would be that much slower and less agile than Witch Doctor because of weight concerns.

Brushless is a bitch to get get working right. https://m.facebook.com/BlackandBlueRobotics/posts/317385423735059?notif_id=1642785134976197¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif

I felt like Duck had traction problems, but they don’t mention it. Maybe my untrained eyes

Something was very wrong with Duck that fight but the forks didn't have anything to do with it. Brushless drive is a bitch, hopefully he gets it dialed in enough to give a good fight next time.

Duck was bowing in the middle at points during the fight, it was very clearly made of three sections. That doesn't bode well for its overall durability. That sort of flexing isn't necessarily bad, but I can't imagine that it is good for the internals, even if the robot is designed to take shock impacts like that. The new design has a lot of question marks still.

"Sorry Tombstone, you had a tough opening fight, here's a play toy for you" Also interesting so many bots already featured this season and so many yet to get their first fight in.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Are we already at the point where bits are on their second fight? It's kind of the norm for Battlebots. They only have so many episodes and fights. Quite a few of the bottom tier bots are only going to get like 1 televised fight where the regulars and fan favorites will get all 3 of their matches. The other fights will be "basement matches" they throw up on YouTube at some point later. Which really, a lot of the newcomer bots likely will have had really rough 1st or even 2nd fights and not be something worth putting in a fight card...

Should be good to see Sawblaze vs MadCatter after the NHRL results. They're different bots in this category of course but Sawblaze is probably eager for a win.

Sawblaze v. Madcatter and Tombstone v. Mammoth are the only ones I'm excited about. Hopefully, some of the other ones are surprisingly good.

Tonight's episode spoiler... not a match result just commentary on the commentary... considering this was filmed before Squid Game was released... they either got a sneak peak or Chris just coincidentally made a Squid Game reference with the South Korean bot...
