As someone who (used to) make youtube videos, one of the best things you can do to improve is to listen to what your viewers have to say and take in their advice.

Many people are surprised when they find out how old I am.

They were competing for a television show. Using a net makes the fight boring and audiences will lose interest.
It seemed to get plenty of people riled up.
  yeah, the first time, but we're thinking of the long term; no joke is as funny the second time you hear it.  I hope you don't want to see more battles like Tombstone vs Counter Revolution.

Also IIRC, the people in the crowd were waiting a while for the matches to start. You can imagine how disappointed they were when they saw a match like this.

Apparently this fight was the first to be recorded in the prelims. From Team Nightmare's FB page:

"Last, the drama with the net on Ghost Raptor was NOT staged in any way for TV. That was real drama that stopped production in order to decide the outcome. We were wondering if BB owner Trey was going to go over and KO Derek Young personally with his bare hands, since it was technically the first fight taped on the first day, but it all worked out for a good robot battle later."

Just because you can use a net, doesn't mean you should.

Can I be the 1st to say I ****ing love Kenny Florian (Color Commentator)?


He actually said in an interview he was quite the Battlebots fan back in the day, and wanted to do the role.


Best part is he had to teach Chris Rose about some of the Robot Combat Basics/History, and on his Twitter he corrected someone's screwup on Robot Combat History.

That's really cool! I have some more respect for him now.

Apparently the late hit stuff was in fact real.

That episode wins the award for "most people I know on tv at the same time".

Are the horizontal arms in the arena an homage to the original Robot Wars?

They looked pretty boring, so I understand why they'd do it.

I knew the MIT kids would be dicks.

Several members of the forum and I know them personally and they're really nice folks. I can see why they'd be upset.

People keep talking down about Wrecks but I've got to give the builder (Dan) props for making something out of the ordinary. A friend of mine in the comments on YouTube summed it up nicely:

"hey man after 10 years of fighting the same old designs we get tired of them. Wrecks does something that to us, the builders is very cool. to create a true walking robot with a weapon that only has two motors on the whole thing, and to use the gyroscopic precession created from tilting the disc to give it forward momentum is rad."

I've talked to him before and he's a cool guy. He sent me a picture of one of the Robotica Gauntlet bricks that he signed.
