I didn't expect Mega Tento vs Stinger to be that good. That was awesome.
Season 1:(Image removed from quote.)Season 2 (thus far):(Image removed from quote.)Viewer base seems to be shrinking rapidly this season. Not looking too good for season 3.
Personally I wasn't a fan of this rule change, which I think is why they deserve it. A lot of comments also reminded me of the terrible Series 7 of Robot Wars. Don't want battlebots to go down but if they keep this up then it might happen.

Also I still consider the new BattleBots being much better than Robot Wars Season 7 or the new Robot Wars.
I CALL FREAKING BS ON THE LOCKJAW vs BRUTUS FIGHT! This active weapon rule has to change into something else. Lockjaw controlled the whole fight and had better controll but was not using the weapon and so it was out. BS Is tell ya!

I watched the raw fight this morning and knew Lock-Jaw was in total control of that fight. I know the rules say you must have an active weapon, but did they ever say it must be used? That's incredibly stupid. That's like if Storm 2 were to be disqualified for not using it's arm in it's fight against Firestorm.Quote from: Mr. AS on July 29, 2016, 11:21:26 AMViewer base seems to be shrinking rapidly this season.

got to see the episode.wow.that was really good This it how beta is supposed to work. really good job there! Glad overhaul is out. Also good for beta that they have to face Nightmare instead of Icewave.
this is my favorite BB fight so far. I knew Warrior would loose as it has prooven to be not reliable. and the rake thing. awesome! from the clips it looks like Hyper Shock is going to loose against Poisen Arrow. Too bad but PA is a good bot to loose against.
The most supprising fight of the night appart from the Icewave/Nightmare one. I didn't see Stinger loose against Tento but good job there Lisa! Also weird to see that Stinger is out but the bot they beat is through
I don't like either. I don't like Chomp for beeing Chomp and I don't like shredder for this "patriotic" attitude. Glad Shredder lost. Sad it lost against Chomp and didn't take it out

BS Is tell ya!Ice Wave loosing to Nightmare was weird as I missed the show tonight and watched those highlight battles this morning. I endet this fight early as I thougt nightmare was out for sure. I just watched the episode and there I saw Ice Wave loosing its drive. Sad to see it through but glad nightmare gets another chance to die again. love both bots <3Ringmaster vs Biteforce: the only supprise was BFs weapon stopped. that's it.And now to you Mike! When I read on facebook that Bombshell (the short form is BS... funny) was using the horizontal spinner I was like: way to commid suicide! then I saw the bot with the attachement in the arena and I was like: well... it doesn't even touch the chassis... way to commid suicide! Then the battlestarted and the first chip of Cobrats Carbolts Calbites... the other robots wheel came of I was like: DAMN Mike you freaking genious! I love you! Also exposed wheels on the other bot? way to commid suicide!
I said it at the end of season 1.. having the fan favourite / super destructive robot loose to a strong boxy defensive robot isnt a good look to the casual audience..Same situation as robot wars series 6 that resulted in the politics of series 7. That said though I cant really pick much fault with this series, I think its been awesome.. Lock-Jaw deserved to loose imo, you can just put a block of metal on the front of your robot and rotate in circles blocking everything, if you play the defense game you need to still be able to push opponents around and utilise the hazards
