Looten Plunder posted:I showed this to my 8 and 5 year old (thank god I could skip all the bloated noise in between matches) and holy poo poo. They spent the night spinning around the room beating the poo poo out of each other pretending they were robots and they've now spent the entire day making Bots out of Lego, giving them profiles and battling each other. This is pure crack for them. If they end up discovering the Hexbug kits exist, my report on those is that they are “fine” but I’ve have to disassemble them to untangle hair from gears once or twice. The custom bots are better value than the branded mini clones imo

Looten Plunder posted:Can you send us a couple of examples of "custom bots"? Are you just referring to the "build your own" accessory kits or is there unbranded/copyright skirting "battlebots" that I'm not seeing somewhere? Sorry, I meant the build your own accessory kit ones

Lone Goat posted:The weight limit applies to a sum of all bots. I think there's also a rule where one bot has to be at least X% of the total mass but i forget what the number is maybe 60%?? The mass thing is what percentage of the bots (by weight) has to be KOed for a KO finish (obviously only if you’ve got more than one)

the shelf is cool in theory imo, I don't love that it shrank the usable space of the battlebox though

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

Glad they’re providing brackets again. My kid currently holds the house Moderately Large Nut for having the best bracket last season. And that is bullshit

PostNouveau posted:There's also a lot of chatter on Reddit about the new out of bounds rules. Apparently, you cannot put someone out of bounds intentionally. If it's an accident, you win the match. If it's intentional, you're DQ'd. It would be funny if Blip and Tantrum were forced to fight for TV reasons, Tantrum just parked near the out of bounds area and let Blip flip it out, and then Blip is DQ'd using a rule they haven't talked about or applied all year. You know, I was thinking in the past episode that it seemed like flippers weren't aiming for the DQ as much as I thought they should, I guess that rule explains why

Otteration posted:Have they been on a floor at before? I’m all in for new folks and bots, even if it is just a bad relay or whatever that kills them. yeah, they were in a regular season fight against Valkyrie, they lasted a whole 9 seconds longer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfWOehOcZ3k

TomR posted:That was nuts. Glitch managing to just happen to be pointing the right way from flailing around so often. Almost pulling the Tombstone signature move of baiting with the wheel and going for the kill, but by accident. I’m coming around to the idea he’s playing possum on purpose

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:In the rules at least there isn't anything that would prevent this. But also Battlebots specifically is a competition where they actually approve which robots are allowed to compete. They are not going to deny a team like End Game or Tombstone from going to a future event by effectively forfeiting a match. But one of the smaller teams? Who knows. The show doesn’t pay enough to have your bot turned to mulch every match
