Do videos of Abbatoir exist online anywhere?

[RFS]

This is the worst question anyone on this forum will ask (that's robot related), but I could really use some videos of the SHW robot Abbatoir from Team Wetware. I need them for a project I am working on that totally is not another article on robot combat.

According to the BattleBots Wiki there are three fights out there that this robot should've appeared in: Ricon (PPV), Rammstein (1.0), and Kenny's Revenge (2.0). The PPV  event is on YouTube in its entirety so I can fetch that fight on my own, and I've reached into the Internet garbage disposal to retrieve the highlights of the Kenny's Revenge fight that were posted to BB.com way back in the day. That leaves the Rammstein fight as well as the Kenny's Revenge fight if it exists in its entirety somewhere.

I've noticed there are a lot of photos of fights on the BB Wiki from matches that were not televised. Rammstein v Abbatoir is one of those fights. Is that recording available somewhere?

Thanks in advance. I promise the clips are going to a "good cause".


edit: I just realized I have a Team Wetware robot as my avatar.  go mr bonstriper go

The LV99 fight is on youtube, I never could find it, though it was so short I remember it completely :P

The Rammstein fight was probably a 5-second TV highlight and would be a bitch to find.

There's also its appearance in the Season 1 rumble where it never moved. :P

It's a long shot, but if you know any of the teams in question, you could ask them.   At each Battlebots event you could purchase a videotape of your own robot's fights.  Maybe one of them still has it.

This is after battlebots had already ended but here is a video of Abbatoir actually fighting:

It gets hit once and then stops working, so basically that's just the PPV 1999 fight with Ricon except with more sparks. 

Thanks though! I noticed the robot's name is spelled "Abbatoir" and "Abattoir" depending on where you look. The second spelling is correct, however the official BattleBots website (archived) and Team Nightmare both spell it with two B's and only one T. -__-;

Someone uploaded the pay-per-view Battlebots Vegas special to Youtube and I almost lost it during the Abbatoir/Ricon fight. On the same topic, is there any footage of the original Mr. Bonestripper around?

I have LV99 somewhere on my channel, I don't know if I ever got to Abbatoir but I will try to upload.

Mr. B is marked as no-show at both of those events, so he didn't get any camera time in the already-truncated event video.

I REALLY want to send this to Ray Scully on facebook.

I am perpetually terrified of what other BattleBots staff and competitors think of my snarky commentary on their former hobbies.

i think ray billings has seen one of yours.

He's the builder of Last Rites, right? If so, he has. He was a good sport about it considering I used some pretty bad phrasing.

That video was gold I'm dying
