Quite possibly the most memorable fight in Battlebots that involved the Pulverizer.


You sure about that?
I'm fly like a birdie, under par 1 stroke.

Is Sublime a Hobbyweight? I thought MMCB vs Blood Moon was a crazy flight.
Oh I'll be doing some banging.......

 :facepalm: What I was trying to say is it must have been really light to fly like that.

I hate the new intro they used for the battle. The one where it goes like this was my favorite:

Actually Nightmare vs Warhead and Dr. Inferno vs Tentoumushi got the same treatment. There might have been a couple others, I forget.

Surprised this thread went cold with all of the fights that have happened over the years.  I'll jumpstart this with this fight.  All I can say this was the last thing that Team Loki expected, not to mention just about anyone else watching.

Turbo vs Double Agent

Battlebots 8: MW Quarterfinals - Dr. Demolition

Hyperactive vs Gloomy fits here I think:


Anyone know exactly what happened here? I can't for the life of me figure what light up so destructively. It looks almost as if there was compressed air tank it in filled with hydrogen.

Fire is scary. I like it. ;D

Massive amounts of sparks + Possibly flammable internals = A fire greater than a junkyard flamewar.

Someone posted an explanation somewhere... iirc it had to do with a spark and a LiPo Battery.
Oh I'll be doing some banging.......

It's a Lithium Polymer battery.  It get extremely hot when it shorts out, in this case because Gloomy cut through it.  There was no actual flammable material, so the fire burned out pretty quick.

Also, lipo batteries produces highly flammable gas when damaged, that's why they puff.
