BattleBots Season 2 Discussion Thread

you do know that warhead has an interchangable weaponsystem?

[Natef]

As always, glad to see my friends on TV.

I didn't like the fact that they said who voted for which bot during the chomp decision. It seemed unnecessary (and for drama, obviously) and I don't think people should know unless the judges are willing to say.

kinda forgot i been away a long time!!

[Scorpio]

Will this latest episode be on the ABC website by tomorrow? I'm pretty sure this was the case with Gears Awaken.

[Shinkioh]

Alright once again because I was on Warframe I missed this. So I went online and watch.

lol Bronco used its wheelguards as makeshift anti-hammer armor. Poor Blacksmith I knew he was gonna get wrecked but I didn't think it'd be bad enough for his hammer to broke off. Not as flashy as a victory as last year but Bronco is still advancing.

What happened to Lucky's other wedge plate? Did they have to remove it so it can fit the weight limit? But hey Beta at last fighting on TV screen after more than a decade!

Yup. Overdrive 2.0 getting owned. Can't say I didn't see that coming. Christian Carlberg's spinners were hit or misses. The best spinner performance I can only recall from him is Knee-Breaker. Minion WAS a spinner bot but it broke and won without it in Season 1.

Oh, awesome. Shrederator still got it.

I was rooting for Disk-O Inferno then I saw its disc broke after one hit. Its lifter is iffy too. Dante's suit is fabulous though.

Wow, that death blow from Minotaur. That was amazing.

Now THAT'S the Complete Control I want to see. That grappling and suplexing. And that grip. So beautiful.

Come on we saw Nightmare's death against Stinger coming. To rub salt in his wound, his self-righting mechanism was damaged from the flames.

Warhead fight is eh. But hey it legit move onto the 32.

ANyone care to tell me what ultraviolent was intended to do? Because I can't figure it out.

I think ever who was controlling the weapons choked, or was stupid as hell!

Get under opponents and flip them using the side arms.

[Joelu Of Eagleland]

The Obwalden Overlord VS Warhead match was literally Dark Souls.



...or that. There was a humanoid robot, there was sadness, so it fits

[MassimoV]

I felt so strange watching that last match. It's like, we were watching 2016 version of Mortis vs Razer in America. I just started feeling disconnected from these bots and started wondering if the former designs would've done better... Regardless, it was nice watching Beowulf with Robots.

i think they were kind of showboating a bit lifting themselves up with the arms in the beginning to look cool but never got them properly aligned with the ground again due to terrible control. the arms looked like they moved pretty quickly and stayed in place when they stopped, with the way they lined up so smoothly with the wedge, getting them back into place and lined up for proper use would be about as hard as predicting your spin on wheel of fortune. or maybe they are just actually retarded. that would be cool
