Hazards were best at the middle weight division. The lightweights all get one-shotted by everything and it doesn't even scratch the heavyweights.

I enjoyed the staring contest at the beginning too much.

Grand Fromage posted:I wonder if Tombstone's design will be dethroned. Having watched this poo poo since the beginning I remember all the different phases of full body spinners, flippers, vertical spinners, hammerbots. Really heavy object spinning horizontally or vertically is the current killer design, I'm not sure what would be better but it's changed enough times that maybe. It seems to me that all spinners have a max amount of hits they can give, before they do enough damage to themselves, either their weapons or their drive train. If Witch Doctor could have taken one more hit (or been able to right itself) it would have beat Tombstone. If bot builders can figure out how to make bots sturdier, or just min max specifically to optimize again horizontal bars, the entire meta changes

It drives great too. Good kudos to the engineering and the driver.

https://www.facebook.com/BattleBotsHuge/posts/224390691500145 Interesting read. Huge was approved by Battlebots based on an incomplete model. Then as the deadline approached, they shipped half of Huge that they managed to finish in time to California, while working on the rest. Then they did final assembly at the venue in a few days. And apparently Overhaul was sent in half built as well.

If only we had some kind of science guy to explain it to us.

Warrior Dragon continues to confuse and infuriate me. Is it a spinner with a bonus flipper? Is it a flipper with a bonus spinner? Whatever it's trying to be it's amazingly ineffective and unreliable at it.

I understand "how" it works. I just want to know the "why." Team Whyachi knows how to build bots. Is there something I'm missing as to why this design is better than either a basic spinner or flipper or even a wedge bot?

They could one shot lower weight classes. But at this weight class, only the screws are dangerous for being able to get ring outs.

I feel like Duck! should have gotten, like, a 13 seed or so without having to participate in the rumble. Their losses were to Tombstone and Bronco of all people!

Even for non wedgebots, I feel like the right strategy on such a big rumble would be to hang back as much as possible.

They've done just for fun rumbles in previous finales haven't they? We'll probably get one or two bonus fights next week.

Any other bots in the ring would be as impotent as minibots.
