I know we've seen plenty of crazy, unexpected incidents in RA2 (ie Havok Explosions), but what about in real life? What are some of the biggest WTF moments you've seen in things like Battlebots, Robot Wars, and any past or current robot combat events?
I'll start with this one. Ever thought Son of Whyachi was unbeatable? Well have a look at this.

razer vs matilda. that is allYou go to stop saying that, it's starting to really piss me off. Though I do agree with razer vs matilda.
There has to be some more recent stuff like this
sorry, didn't realize i was using it that much.razer vs matilda. that is allYou go to stop saying that, it's starting to really piss me off. Though I do agree with razer vs matilda.
i thought HD vs nasty warrior was a grand WTFAgreed- it won by falling apart. Honestly, what else needs to be said about it?
The batteries have gotten a lot more flammable since Robot WarsThat fight was better than the full-size stuff, I need to watch more featherweight stuff.

Pretty much all of Hypno-Discs performances in Extreme 1 were bullsh**. The annihilator, the fight against Behemoth and the wildcard match against TX-108.On the plus side, you did have this-
Quite possibly the most memorable fight in Battlebots that involved the Pulverizer.You sure about that?

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

Hyperactive vs Gloomy fits here I think:

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

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 wentThe 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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_YIEmNbBPII 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.
Goodnight sweet prince
*snip*is it just me that thinks stinger-like bots are incredibly boring?
Goodnight sweet prince
Personally, I don't. Manly because bots like Gabriel go completely overkill with the design and still do really well.*snip*is it just me that thinks stinger-like bots are incredibly boring?

I'm calling it now, Complete Control vs Warhead is one that'll be talked about for years. https://youtu.be/0Q7nZlcOlkg?t=1m21sCan't see the video because I'm not living in the US, but only that disc spin part, anything else about the battle was normal and way too overhyped.

I'm pretty sure this deserves to be here.TFW an audience member with a camera phone shoots it better than the TV crew.

Got Surgeon General v Hexy D vibes yesterday seeing this fight live, I was like holy crap did that just happen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbEx1lv8eRc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbEx1lv8eRc)
Sorry about that, I just barely caught that fight with my GoPro, I was downstairs chatting with my pops when the fight began so I rushed upstairs but couldn't make it to my previous vantage point before the fight started. Hoping to attend Motorama next year so hopefully my filming will improve.Got Surgeon General v Hexy D vibes yesterday seeing this fight live, I was like holy crap did that just happen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbEx1lv8eRc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbEx1lv8eRc)
I couldn't see the bots real well, but that was one of those dreaded "malfunction creates fate" matches.
I'm very honored to hear that. :DSo...this happened.....Holy sh** dude.

Also, I didn't know you had a GTM account Battlebotsboy! You're the reason I downloaded RA2 in the first place!
I've never seen anything like THIS happen before!

Damn. Good thing they have 2 sets of walls.
Who's the 2015 Bite Force look-alike?

It’s a grabber.
Back to the video- I have no idea what you’re trying to point out, but bots getting caught in walls is usually caused by kinetic energy buildup in spinners. This can cause bots to land in awkward positions.
Dude, did you even watch the video? Drivetrain (the Bite Force lookalike) pushed Equinox (drum spinner) into the wall, drum spinning full speed, which caused the wall to get destroyed & both bots ended up driving out of the arena.I've never seen anything like THIS happen before!

No it's a lifter in the style of Bite force 2015 like Tommy just said.

I thought you meant Bite Force from BattleBots.
Trust me. There are more than a few ways to get your bot caught on a wall.
Here's a new way of fighting: by going absolutely insane! XDMike Gellatly is jealous of that driving skill seen at the start.
