Fight card baby!

Free Shipping and Blacksmith is going to be a slugfest of two durable bots.

Uppercut and Megabyte is going to be a quick KO for one of them.

Hydra are the heels, but I would be elated if they dumpster End Game on the first episode.

Hopefully Gruff fixed their drive train issues from last season. I want to see that thing just body a bunch of spinners again.

Prediction: Deep Six is gonna punt Pain Train across the entire box

Switchback is cool, but I think a good hit on the pivot mechanism will destroy it

Botsfc write-up on the fight, some damage pictures, and changes to shatter for the season.

Also has some explanation on what was wrong with subzeros flipper.

Apparently SubZero had set the pressure in their main tanks higher in this fight than their earlier testing - this may have caused some faults in their regulator system leading to no pressure downstream. They believed the system had a small leak - allowing it to bleed off pressure during the fight and eventually reaching a low enough level that the flipper was able to work at the end.

:lmao:

How blip's flipper works is pretty cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzZufNCXaeE

They push a spinning flywheel into a clutch using a pair of what looks like hand-made solenoids, which begins twisting a synthetic fiber cord. The cord acts as a continuously variable transmission, so it starts out with very little force but ramps up as it continues to twist and shorten in length, which probably goes a long way toward not destroying itself. The cord pulls a sliding assembly inward, and that interfaces with the flipping arm with gear teeth. Springs pull everything back into firing position after the flywheel has lost its momentum.

One of the Mad Catter people tried to build a flywheel hammerbot once and he quickly realized that was a terrible idea

Lol
