Only being able to move for 2 minutes is a major flaw when fights are 3 minutes long.

Ghost Raptor Team is on its way taking a page from their original season lightweight Battlebots days: Finding some way to make it to the finals against all design logic.

Hopefully they're not also following the page that says 'gets utterly wrecked in the finals'.

The De-Icer was incredible and I can't wait to see what wacky anti-Bite Force/Bronco/Tombstone weapon they might also have.

Bronco v Tombstone is unfortunately going to be a semi-final instead of the final, so the final is probably going to be anticlimactic.

You say this, but all it takes is a bot durable enough to take hits from Icewave and Tombstone and they're dead, especially Tombstone. Anything they can't hurt will push them around effortlessly.

Whether or not anyone can do that, who knows, but I'd be very surprised if both Tombstone and Icewave make the finals. Bronco looks like the worst possible opponent for Tombstone unless he's just small enough to be able to work on his back.

Yeah, wow, you weren't kidding. Neither of them looked good today when they faced bots that could take more than three hits. Tombstone got flung all over the place and really was lucky to win. Feels like Bronco is going to take the whole thing.

It's just a thing gathered from watching lots of fighting robot series back in the day. Being able to hit things really hard with a massive weapon is nice, but the reason "gently caress wedges" was said so much earlier in the thread is that being able to get under and push your opponent around is very reliable, even if it isn't necessarily exciting.
