Put your favourite battles in all of Robot combat here.
If there hasn't been a thread like this before, there should have been :/

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.

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:

Also:



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.

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:
