SLICK GOKU BABY posted:Bots missing though include Bronco, which appears to be for sale... It's only old bits of Bronco for sale. Maybe Inertia Labs show up one day with a new Bronco or other bot, but they've always been a tight-lipped group. Looking forward to Uppercut blowing up another robot!

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:How do you get into the upper deck? I don't see any ramps You don't. Being on the shelf starts a KO timer even if you're mobile. You have to get off the shelf or lose. This rule was added to help control and flipper bots since you can't get an out-of-the-arena KO as easily this year. Notice there are slated bits of lexan around the walls preventing bots from getting trapped there like they used to.

is pepsi ok posted:I can't see how any multibot could be competitive because they are too small and unarmored to deal with spinners. A 125lbs bot is never going to stand up to Tombstone, End Game, Uppercut, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NatqZqh0e58

Railing Kill posted:Also: why doesn't it have a third weapon? It seems like they built a spinner and a wedge and then....just ran out of weight? Ran out of time and weight. The builder has a whole series of vlogs about the build here. I liked the part in one video where he complains that his parts are late coming in from China because of some kind of weird flu or something? It wasn't mentioned in the fight but it's called Triple Crown not just because of the design, but because the builder has won Robot Wars and Robotica and is going for the third.

Son of Whyachi didn't even deliver that level of damage to Ghost Raptor I'd love to know if Huge got in trouble with production at all for intentionally driving onto the shelf (a move that totally ruled).

Railing Kill posted:I wonder about that late hit on Jager. It seemed like a cheap shot on a bot that was already counted out. The drivers can't hear other team being counted out, but more to the point the fight was edited to make the hit look late. https://old.reddit.com/r/battlebots/comments/t2n1tg/battlebots_bonus_fight_captain_shrederator_vs/

 I can't get the thought out of my head of Huge breaking Uppercuts self-righting bars and Uppercut getting stuck in a weird position. GuavaMoment fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Mar 13, 2022 |

You really, really don't want to dive into the political stance of a group of people that's almost entirely very rich white people. I just like watching robots fight and don't want to lose any of my love for the sport.

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:But because Cobalt was broken and unable to stop it's active weapon, they went to the judges decision where Cobalt won... So here's the thing - that's not what happened: quote:What happened during the fight was this. Maybe things will be more clear once the fight is released on Sunday?

Borsche69 posted:was it really a melty? every fight I've ever seen it in just has it spinning dead in place; maybe slightly drifting in a direction. every hit it seemed to get was because someone drove into it Let's be honest, you've described every melty brain robot ever. I'd love to see a melty drive a simple obstacle course to prove me wrong though!

PostNouveau posted:I think that shot was a lot weirder than it first looked. In the slowmo, it hits twice and the first one lifts it up a bit and the second one delivers a blast to a part of Rotator that clearly wasn't ready to take a hit of that magnitude. They're saying on the reddit that Rotators own blade cut into its underbelly which was changed from titanium to aluminum. The first cut removed the all the screws, then when the blade came back around it cut out what was left. oh jay posted:In my head, I'm already prototyping some kind of Tantrum-but-with-lifting-arm bot. Some kind of spinner that can be tucked away while building up speed, and the strategy is to pin, lift, and then attack the underbelly. This is close! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_m9B4y_C-qqiWLVJqlh1NPLOr2D-pdcL
