Battlebots

New episode in about 15 minutes, hope youre ready for 5 whole minutes of action.

matches tonight:

Bronco vs razorback
minotaur vs warhead
red devil vs bombshell
poison arrow vs hypershock

thought tombstone was on tonight but I guess they switched it or something.

Also this is the last episode for 3 weeks because of the olympics

Fuck off Olympics this is the only REAL sport

God I'm getting tired of this show structure. Last week they had 8 fights on deck, but skipped 4 of them for dialog. A few were forgettable but I'm pretty pissed we didn't get to experience Nightmare vs Icewave where Nightmare limps to a victory

when do you think a torrent will be up? im of to the woods to burn stufff and smoke so i hope it will be out when i get back in

might be fun to watch someone get shot at the olympics though
all the fights are on youtube, and you can see why they skip some

>unscheduled skip for the Obama speech
>3 week skip for Olympics

This kills the ratings

i tried watching the new robot wars was it always this bad? Did i just think it was cool because is was a child of britian in the 90s and so only had 5 tv channels of which 3 are BBC channels.

its on mofos, get your asses in here

It's time!

they skip some because theyre jews

Bronco
Minotaur
Bombshell
Hypershock

inb4 lawnmower bots destroy everything else with no real competition

>a boring fight or dialog

The choice is obvious

>Chomp and Tento are still in the tournament

Bronco
Minotaur
Bombshell
Hypershock

>all that Sup Forums butthurt when Tento won fair and square last week just cause the driver has pink hair

does japan ever participate in this stuff or do they have their own thing?

Tento earned her win, and USA bot should have been put together better to get an easy win

for me it wasnt because she has pink hair but because her bots are always awful. but there was really nothing stinger could do against a bot that big

>japan
>fun
pick one

Been watching all of thr previous seasons on Comedy Central.

>Top tier commentators
>Toppest tier announcer
>Bill
>shit batteries and motors so everything isnt an insane spinner
>bots are retarded and unrefined

Why can't we have this in the olympics

who will fly farther? warhead or minotaur?

Are you ready for the rage?

Warhead

DECAPPED

WAR (((((HEAD))))

JRSUD CHRIST

the face of a rapist

HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK

>MEMEHEAD

This guy is going to post victory child raping

>tfw your weapon is so powerful it can move your bot without wheels touching the ground

So if he had two of those could it fly?

Went out with more dignity than Razer, I guess

minotaur has like 4 inch thick armor I doubt anything can punch through that

only chance bronco has is to knock it out of arena, but bronco has a bad driver

Goes to shit at season 4, just putting it out there

Maybe not fly, but hover a bit maybe. The drum meta is fucking real.

I could see Beta versus Minotaur being a good fight.

Is this shit on twitch? It rly should be tbqh or else I ain't watching it.

Any good stream?

>that spin-dancing at the end

Minotaur best spinner

Kill yourself.

Anything bot that doesn't have a really fast spinner is wasting their time. It's simply the only real effective weapon.

stream?

maybe, minotaur might not be able to score a hit because of the sloped armor.

Are we going 2/2 for drone rakes?

Fat American with his beer and hotdogs watching TV detected.

Fuck. Starting that season today

>Hypershock vs another dronebot
>Le rake dronekiller meme lives again

Well last years champ was a plow and a claw so

>Sacrifice defense and complexity for speed, density, and power.
>Give the controls to raging autism personified.

I can't imagine them losing.

>watching tv in 2016
lol
don't you know that streaming is the future grandpa?

>aftershock waving around that giant green rake when they enter

maximum bants

>Green Eggs and Slam

Wonderful.

RED RUM RED RUM WATCH OUT FOR THIS DRUM

who writes this shit

hyper rake

Post yfw drones are obsolete after this season

>the useless tail

I wasn't objecting to streaming, I was objecting twitch.

RAKEBOT BTFO

looks like hypershock has to leaf the competition

>attacking the rear armor while hypershock couldnt move

should have went for the wheels

They were obsolete this season

They were always corny, even in the old series

A rather unfortunate loss for hypershock, but I think it shows that a front plow is a good defense against drum bots if you can get the angle right.

>Drones wouldn't even dare get close after he is down.

They fear the rake even in death/

Hypershock got too pushy and it killed their motor.

>thousand dollar drone raked down by a dead bot
>you won but are a laughingstock

We learned last season not to show off after you won

Raataaaard shooaaaw gooaaaa beee faaaaaneeeeeeeeeeeee

GUYS!! GUYS!! IT'S ROBOT FIGHTING TIME!!!

It will get cancelled in 1 season, doesn't look funny at all

Kinda the only option they had with the bullshit "aggression" rules. They have to kill the enemy bot dead or lose because drums are spooky.

Red Devil is a flimsy piece of junk that got lucky Witch Doctor wanted to show off and look cool rather than win

>Roadhog

I'd bone that blue hair slut

How come black people don't like making robots? I want to see some ghetto ass robot.

Bombshell is too THICC for Red Devil to grapple them.

The aggression rules were mostly in place to prevent a rambot like Tornado and Storm II from just slamming into the opponent at 30mph to dislodge electronics.

Both of these bots are extremely retarded and this is going to be a 3 minute long awkward grappling match

>chanting for frook

Why?

>black engineer

I like swiss army bots, and I think Warhead is the best in the tournament.

>tips fedora

stream link pls

are vertical spinners the most unreliable pieces of shit, drums seem to hold together but not the thinner larger ones.

They're just shoving each other.

Red Devil lost. He didn't do anything.

VSAUCE GUY IS A JUDGE??

Vertical spinners are cancer.

He didn't lose his
>primary weapon
Tho.

I feel like if your bot isn't explicitly designed to have a vertical spinner or a drum, you shouldn't try to swiss army one on. The force they use is just too intense.

he literally used his saw once and it did nothing, bombshell won it

Even without a primary weapon, bombshell had total control of the fight and took no damage whatsoever. If this isn't a unanimous decision I'll flip my shit.

But he didn't do anything with it

what would a donk battlebot look like?

Half of the spinners end up KOing themselves from the force of the first or second impacts, though.

>steals the others bots wheels and runs away

Bombshell should win, but the rules are dumb about weapons to prevent ramming bots from taking over

Gyrax or Towering Inferno

Did you guys not see lockjaws fight?
