I have a feeling he was more worried about Warrior's flipper than his spinner, and he didn't want to get caught on the wedge.

And in the end, it was the spinner that did him in, should have left the wheel guards on. Maybe then those mini bots wouldn't have kept getting under him as easily either.
You search and search for something, never realizing it is within and always has been.
You can not find it, you can not understand it, you simply accept, and believe, and it will grow.

No, it was the flipper.  Warrior got underneath and gave him a flick, and Nightmare toppled.  The wheel guards would have give warrior even more surface area to get under, and his demise would have come sooner than it did here.

Huh! Team Whyachi themselves helped build Nightmares new disc! Didn't know. But that is a nice littlepiece of trivia. Also, still wondering why Jim took off the wheel guards vs Warrior Clan. Didn't specify. But, apparently there'll be grudge matches! Cant wait.
Team Whyachi makes custom parts all the time, take a look at their sample page, you might recognize some of the parts.

Saw it. Just remembered Jim making Nightmares disc himself and assumed he did the same. For 2015

Though that might've been just for 1999 idk I forgot

EDIT: Btw guys episode 5 for BattlebotsUpdate is out since RFS ain't on to tell you guys yet.

lol, You guys know I am deathly paranoid about pimping my own projects these days. XD I only posted #4 on Reddit because I left it up 2 days and no one claimed the free link karma.  :gawe:
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Newest Tested video shows Complete Control vs. Razorback, and Icewave vs. Hypershock. I want to see those matches! 
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

I knew that Chomp was like two pods under the shell but I didn't know it pivoted. Chris and Kenny got a shot of driving it around and fired up the crusher and flame.

if ghost raptor wins i quit robots forever
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.
