Cobalt vs. Ghost Raptor
Both were 0-1 coming in. Cobalt has had some growing pains & Ghost Raptor has been awesome in the past, but Cobalt just destroyed Ghost Raptor.
The full fight: https://youtu.be/KCEONaLsiFw

BAH GAWD he's broken in half!

Eyyy my boyfriend won a Battle Bots once. He's an aerospace engineer now.

As God as my witness, he is broken in half!

Always remember the British team with Razer. They were a bunch of awkward nerds that went on to win the world championships twice. I think-
AZJackeen
-they got a stylist after that. When they returned to Robot Wars they still looked like a bunch of awkward nerds that were uncomfortable -
AZJackeen
- with their new cool look. Dressed in black with shades and baseball caps.

Mammoth v. Huge: Went into that one expecting nothing, ended up one of my favorite bouts of all time. https://youtu.be/ra6R3xvtEGQ
RadiDaddy
It was like watching 2 daddy long legs wrestle. I made loud noises when Huge suplexed Mammoth.

Isn't this robot wars

I don't see any house robots in this one.

Nope. Battlebots on Discovery. This is from the most recent episode yesterday. It's on season 6 right now.

What Ghost Raptor deserves for putting out that fragile weapon design year after year.

AND Celebrity Death Match !
jjw9
Haha! It’s been years since I last saw a BattleBots battle! This really is entertaining! The winning formula seems to remain the same …
APlusInArsonClass
Vertical spinner with ground scraping wedglets is the current meta
jjw9
lowest center of gravity, lowest to the ground, w/ 360-deg skirt, & wedge ram at front wins! “Roomba of Death” ☠️?
TheWarHymn
Then there's fucking Icewave, just spinning a 50 pound steel blade at 3000 rpm and obliterating everything it touches.
KingORedLions
Wedges haven't been very competitive for a while, though occassionally you get a good flipper. It's mostly drum and bar spinners these days.
Kehy
My regular roomba is named Boomba. If I had a battle bot, it'd be Doomba
DarthPlague
Tombstone getting thrown out of the ring in its opening match last year was epic
alcaray
I counted 5 pieces but wasn't sure if there's another one.
Viking365
Upper cut vs free shipping was rad!
RadiDaddy
Yes, it was. Uppercut and Jackpot are both vicious.
Secradon
too many disc spinners anymore control bots barely have a chance its crazy. they need a counter to disc spinners. i would say tangle.
Secradon
but its banned.
jansenart
@OP Post the one with the giant explosion from like 2 weeks ago.
RadiDaddy
Uppercut vs. Free Shipping. Biggest explosion I can recall. https://youtu.be/pen3DTvX8sY
jansenart
that was so fuckin epic. I really like how the batteries have also seemed to fail more this year.
RadiDaddy
The aftermath of the one I posted was lots and lots of battery smoke.

I'm irrationally annoyed that the one called "cobalt" is the green one

Cassius was my favorite!

I swear I had a poster of Razor once.

I thinknive got a little toy one somewhere. Got Hypnodisc for sure. Had a while toy arena with dropping blocks at one point

The time before the vertical spinners ruled. Chaos 2! Road Block! Panic Attack!

Thursday nights on Discovery Channel.

That’s HUGE ! ( not really, hard to beat him)
RadiDaddy
Huge had a good fight last night too.
jimmythehat1
Last night's episode was great. Huge had a big win that played up it's strengths and got up on that platform for a victory dance.
FayeWillow
Fun story, I watched BattleBots while giving birth to my first kid! Very invested, very sad she came during the final of the competition!
RadiDaddy
Darn kids always ruining mommy and daddy’s fun. :)

Ok that was pretty epic...member when it was shown on Comedy central??

I was there 3,000 years ago
RadiDaddy
I do. And the fights just keep getting better. I love this season.
SnailsAgainstTungstenSpheres
Is Kenny Florian still announcing? I loved that he went from UFC to BattleBots. He gave off the total geek vibe when he was a fighter.
RadiDaddy
Yep. Kenny and Chris Rose are the announcers. Faruq Tauheed is the ring announcer.
SnailsAgainstTungstenSpheres
That's great.

I remember the Craig Charles (Lister from Red Dwarf) hosted a UK version.

Last time I watched EVERYTHING was a wedge or a spinner. Except Tentomushi. Tentomushi was kinda cool.
RadiDaddy
That ladybug was fun to watch

General admission was 25 bucks vip was 125 but you got swag bag tshirt and a tour after the show asked wife for early birthday present
RadiDaddy
That sounds like a great deal. How long does it take to shoot what we see edited down on TV?
5Toner
This season has been great.. so much destruction and fire!
RadiDaddy
There have been some spectacular explosions.
ananfro
Are there build limitations? Like what’s stopping someone from covering one in 3/4” steel plate and just making it super beefy
bolobass
Weight restrictions, there's a whole book of rules and regulations.
RadiDaddy
Among other things they have a 250 lb weight limit. And a strong defense is good (Duck!, for example), but ya need some kind of offensive 1/
RadiDaddy
weapon with which to damage the opponent. Damage caused by primary weapons are more heavily weighted on the judges’ scorecards.
irvingb01
A rule I've always disliked. Damage is damage.
KingORedLions
Yeah, it's not a rule in the UK system. Up 5 points each for damage inflicted, aggression, and control.
ShiftingPattern
That was basically the strategy Jamie and @mistersavage from Mythbusters went with to make Blendo. A HEAVY dome that spun at 500 RPM (80MPH)
ShiftingPattern
Their robot was so devastating they were awarded the joint Heavyweight Champion title in exchange for withdrawing, because their robot was-
whatsisname
It, as well as others like it, were also boring AF
ShiftingPattern
-creating a safety hazard by launching the shattered remnants of its unfortunate opponents into the crowd.
Malloon
Well, that's on-brand.
spejic
I was there that day in Fort Mason, and that flying bit of dinobot was spinning directly for my head. Good thing the plexiglass stopped it.
Jordan7831
Battlebots raw on Reddit. All the fights. No filler.
KingORedLions
I assume it still has all the dumb fake sparks and audio, sadly? (but still, much better than nothing!)
SpacecouchCowboy
Fuck yeah, thanks!
koby
Where??
Jordan7831

how much shorter are the episodes with out the fluff?

They are about 15 minutes vs 1 hour on tv. Though tv has commercials I think.

My dad also likes the filler for some reason too.

I like Chris and Kenny and Faruq. They do a good job & some of the back stories are really cool.

O_O Is this.. is this real? I've been dying to watch more. But being in England basically means we got thrown some scraps from YEARS AGO
Jordan7831
Yes my friend. Happy binge watching
ilhares
Yeah, but you guys get Robot Wars, don't you? That's not half bad, and has less filler garbage in each episode.
JustDontCare
I personally don't know where I would watch Robot Wars, but I don't think that's been around for a few years either.
JohnMcL7
It was brought back a couple of years ago and was absolutely awesome then they cancelled it in favour of finding new TV series instead
