Without saying anything that'd go over the line on my NDA I can say that some of the best fights I've ever seen happened this season, and I don't just mean "best at BattleBots" when I say that.

Are you competing or doing something for BattleBots itself

Huge is a weird bot, and it has some very obvious flaws, but have we ever seen a flipper try to take it on legitimately? Did Huge fight Bronco once? I can't see that being effective, but Huge is one of the more unpredictable bots.

I think Huge annihilated SubZero one time

Mammoth getting the same the type of fight with both Huge and Starchild is kinda wild.

Need an actual physicist to explain it



e: Triton sliding the battery under Copperhead was totally intentional and not accidental at all and they got screwed :colbert:

Dang that was a great episode

Yeah you can see on the original score cards that both Fon and Lisa thought that Malice lost their weapon and gave Valkyrie an extra point for it


Giving Valkyrie both aggression and control is also :psyduck: regardless of Malice's weapon

TomR posted:

I think judge Derek was changing numbers just for the sake of changing numbers but still giving Whiplash the win. I think he had it right the first time. I don't see how Lisa gave Monsoon more control points than Whiplash, but I'm a big fan of Whiplash so I'm willing to admit I'm biased.

The right side of Whiplash's drive was all messed up and it couldn't really move decisively or effectively after that

One of the scales was allegedly defective and would show up to a 4lb difference depending on where the robot was placed. So it was probably a big nothing burger made worse by team riptide being consistent jerks.
