The third episode of Battlebots starts in 20 minutes on ABC
The prelims are over now and all the junkbots have been destroyed. The few that snuck through will get shredded by real competition soon.
Anyway, wild cards were
>Nightmare
>Mecha Tento
>Ghost Raptor
>Blacksmith
>Lock Jaw
>Overhaul
>Bombshell
>Lucky
Being a crowd favorite or a quick knockout was the best way to get a wildcard. Robots that were fully destroyed didn't qualify.
Anyway, enjoy
>Why didn't Disco Inferno get a wild card?
The builder declined it after getting bullshitted with Chomp, called them out on it and left
That's rich coming from him, considering the total bullshit judges decision that got him a giant nut in the old series
>easily the oldest bot in the ring
>been playing since the game started
>still doesn't have any way to self right
What the FUCK is he doing? I'm praying he gets put up against Chomp, it be great seeing that pile shredded by a classic
how do the builders put their bots back together after getting really fucked up? do they bring enough parts to build an entirely new bot or what?
also how much do they generally cost to build?
Get hype niggers
Tonights matchups
Take your picks
>Bronco > ChromeFly
>Minotaur > Blacksmith
>Witch Doctor > Red Devil
>Yeti < Lucky
Most expensive in the ring is Lock Jaw at about $30k. They have sponsors
jesus I thought they were a few grand tops, does that thing have diamond armor or what
PROVE ME WRONG
Good on him. I'm glad he kept his integrity and stuck to his principles.
Most are. Lock Jaw is just really intricate
stream where?
I don't know man, Yeti is pretty strong
I'm rooting for Minotaur. Goddam is that bot scary.
They refballed Lockjaw
BEST FIGHT EVER FINALLY IN WEBM FORM
>BEE-TAH
>Icewave against Nightmare
Nightmare might actually win with Icewaves motor location
>'beeta'
It's beta, you dumb shit.
Left column all the way down
>chomp is 13 seed
kill me
>Chomp against Shedderator
First time I root for a spinner
>implying nightmare won't get knocked on its side and lose immediately
>chomp at 13/32
How exactly were these calculated?
im guessing its a play on the word beat, because its a big hammer and all
>never saw ziggo fight
>pit coverage
yes please
>they're getting the unsure fight out of the way
BASED ABC
This desu desu
Ziggo was one of the best battlebots
lawn mower bots are over powered
prove me wrong
OH CANADA
So when Faruq goes natural Muslim and joins Isis, will he announce beheadings with the same level of gusto?
>two fat neckbeards
wew
>dude youre from new hampshire
Leafs btfo
just use an armored wedge and the spinner kills itself
>A fucking leaf
This is the face of combat robots
ABC trying to make it look like a bunch of teenage girls is just wrong
stream pls
Is there a link for a livestream?
lucky is so done
MULTIPLE KEKS
All according to plan.
DECAPITATION
FLIPPERS BTFO
CANADUH
CRIPPLE FIGHT
WORM
Motherfucking wheelies and flips
that was probably the best fight so far
>lose a wheel
>still win
>popping off like this
w e w l a d
Yeti's grinding makes me moist.
Lukcy driver was fucking stupid
Holy shit, yetis drum could barely touch him.
So what does he do? Get pinned in the corner with his flipper up
>Yeti still dancing around with only 3 wheels
They've only had 2 fights, and their flipper got stuck BOTH FUCKING TIMES
Not being AWD is a season 1 tier mistake
I thought his sloped armor could save him, but his mobility was atrocious and he opened himself up to that decapitation.
LAWN MOWER BOTS OVERPOWERED

How is yeti a mower bot?
wouldnt call a vertical drum spinner a lawn mower bot
He was a flipper against a bot that can drive both ways, didn't have much chance
So which are best: lawnmowers, drum spinners, or full-body spinners?
yeah, that was some shit.
The why didn't tombstone BTFO everything ever?
...
Mowers. Full body spinners do a ton of damage to themselves each hit
Tombstone would have won with ease last year if Ray didn't go back for that last hit on Bronco.
He ripped yetis wheel off
And while they are designed to drive upside down, it beats the fuck out of the electronics being flpped
>Minotaur vs Blacksmith
This is going to be embarassing for blacksmith. another decap incoming.
karmas a bitch
>Utilizing the most effective mechanic is broken
I have no idea why 100% of bots aren't spinners or flippers
>we're gonna beat the brazillians
AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAhAahAHahHAhaHAhaHAhaHAhahAHHhHAhaAhHAAAHAAaaa
That brain looks good.
ZIKA BOT ABOUT TO INFECT BLACKSMITH TO DEATH
They got put up against bronco, neutered, wildcard, now they have to take on minotaur. Poor fuckers.
...
when will people learn that hammer bots never work
Inb4 blacksmith upset
Axe bots are even stupider.
>Brazil vs New Jersey
Rest in Pieces, NJ
Minotaur is one of those bots that could just self destruct any time it fights
>knock-off mexico vs knock-off new york
wew
They are RUTHLESS
PART MAN
Its neither part-man nor part-cattle
It is a machine
But those quads are aaaalllll man.
blacksmith btfo
I HIT DAT
>Fire Hammer
>Making your hammer less durable and heavy by including fire shit in it
HUEHUEHUE
>direct hit
>it does nothing
IT HAPPENED AGAIN
HAHAHA stupid hammer
has the hammer even dented Minotaur yet?
Its hammer came off AGAIN
rip in pee
>Jersey engineering
ITS DEAD
ITS JUST TOO BRUTAL FOR TV
>Blacksmoth
Holy shit
Sure blacksmith lost, but he built one hell of a bot to take that damage.
I liked it
HAMMERBOT BTFO
Blacksmith lasted way longer than most
