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

Pretty much Gloomy got a lucky cut through the plastic top and sliced open the battery, making the battery combust.

Amazingly, he fought again, but it got flipped by SKBT's DrumThing-Else.


you spelled my bots name wrong

Megabyte vs Brutality 2005


One of robot combat's greatest "hits".
Megabyte, I always loved you.
Mostly a lurker and Sm4sh Bros. player nowadays. :3

I just love the way chaos2 bounces when it flips firestorm out, just shows how small and light it is

I dont have a video clip, but at colchester 2013 (I think) there was a 4 way event and it was a team event, Pressure got flipped out by ripper, ripper got flipped out by iron awe, and iron awe got flipped out by Kronic, I believe thats how it went

I know it's been nearly two years since anyone's posted here but I'd thought I'd restart this thread again considering the revival of robot combat shows on TV.   
If King B Powerworks was known for anything it's for going nuts and pinballing around the Robot Wars arena.

Skip to 11:05 for the King B Powerworks vs 101 fight.

I found the clip Natster was talking about.
I dont have a video clip, but at colchester 2013 (I think) there was a 4 way event and it was a team event, Pressure got flipped out by ripper, ripper got flipped out by iron awe, and iron awe got flipped out by Kronic, I believe thats how it went
The fight was Ripper + Pressure against Maelstrom + Kronic. Pressure got flipped out by Maelstrom, who immediately got flipped out by Ripper, who immediately got flipped out by Kronic.

Here's the clip in question;

I felt so bad for the Eric team. I don't think I saw a time when they weren't working on the bot and it just never worked.

I think the Eric guys were expecting it.
Eric has a big future though :) they could actually get it into the form it was pre-Gabriel probably within an hour or so.

And Gabriel's awesome Badger, if only for the scale of the thing. Pretty sure it's taller than me.

Personally, I don't. Manly because bots like Gabriel go completely overkill with the design and still do really well.

apparently this happens in featherweights but doesnt happen often in antweights, and doesnt work when you have pushouts. (skip to 55 seconds in)

The Whiteboard where Omega drove under the wall was pretty good.
