If there hasn't been a thread like this before, there should have been :/

Post by: SKBT on March 15, 2012, 04:18:03 PM: I've seen way to many matches to really have a favorite but if I had to pick a couple...

SubZero vs Mortician

(as a random side note. Phoenix's armor used to be SubZero's and was in this fight)

Mangi vs Shaka

Easily the most destructive battle I've seen.

Post by: RFS on March 17, 2012, 03:17:56 AM: A lot of my favorite fights come from BattleBots, but I'd have to really go back and watch old Robot Wars episodes (US and UK) and Robotica get get a refresher. I also didn't follow independent events too well.

Basically, the fights I mentioned in my article about "most one sided BattleBots fights" are among my favorites:

IIRC, it's right axle snapped thanks to the massive downward forces on it. When you watch the video, you can see the right wheel buckling when the blade hits.

Post by: Resetti's Replicas on March 25, 2012, 06:44:26 PM: RFS got to plug his article, can I plug mine too? These are a few of my favorite battles, though I see the merits in a well-matched back and forth too:

One of my personal favourite Mayhems in Extreme 1.
