It has the weapons, it will depend on if Ghost Raptor will be able to survive the hits, to be able to push Icewave around or not.
For me it all depends on whether or not Glass Raptor has that (sh**ty) spinner back. Since it's adjustable, it might be able to hit the ICE powering IceWave's bar. If not or the spinner doesn't have the reach, it'll be an easy win for IceWave.

The fight I'm looking forward to is Bronco vs Stinger, that'll be really close. I'd like to see Bronco take it but I think Stinger will since that wedge looks more... wedgy than Bronco's flipper.

Bronco vs stinger should be a good match. If stinger can push its wedge into the ground, then it will have an advantage. However bronco's weapon is much more powerful, and would probably mean bronco can control stinger with some good driving.

Pretty much how I feel, I sorta like Bronco's design a little more.

Depends on how long it'll take before its flip power dies down within 3 minutes, too

Yeah that's true. But he has been showing it off before the fight starts so maybe they're either confident in the number of flips they have or they really fif understand how easy it was going to be to knockout Plan X.

The only issue I have with Stinger is the attachment it's using. The two forks were used at Robogames and it got outwedged by Great Pumpkin and Raging Scotsman.

you know, i don't know the MIT kids in real life and I'm sure the drama is heavily focused on by ABC but good night those children piss me off.

and I am IN college.

Preview of Bronco vs Stinger. I assumed that you guys would want to see it. I didn't watch the start of the fight, but I did watch the part before the fight started. Stinger's attachment looks pretty inappropriate to be honest, I think Bronco'll be able to get under it no problem.

Cool to see Toro and T-Minus' shells still intact!
Yeah I saw that earlier, pretty cool. And do you have a picture of Rocket?

Rocket is the one with the CO2 canister on its back.

i honestly think that's one of the best attachments for this fight, if it had the plow I'm pretty sure it'd just give bronco more surface area to flip

Apparently BattleBots Update has been well received.

Pretty impressive getting recognition from the show, especially that all the humor is poking fun at it. Good thing the guys behind the show apparently can take a joke.

Last episode was interesting and I was not expecting Hypershock to break down like that, shame they had that fight in the bag.

Predictions:

I'm honestly astonished, not just that they acknowledge it but actually recommend it despite the site's admittedly abrasive content. XD

Pressure's on now. Gotta make episode 5 a good one.

I knew that bronco and tombstone would meet as someone on the GRA posted a picture of that fight

Get ready to play the "kids from MIT" drinking game.

what the hell? a whole block without a single match?
