Shit that could work, make it a really strong spring swung bat.
Re-compressing the spring would a pain though but if you can hit the other robot once that's it, slant the bat upward a bit and you hit a home run with the other robot.

He's been off his tits for 20 years mate
>>64885524
A white hole?

One of the best episodes.
Back to Reality is the GOAT though.
>>64885599
I've never seen one before, no one has but I'm guessing its a white hole.
ABSOLUTELY BASED
we'd better have some fucking game threads

Now that Philippa Foster is fat and old, we'll need a new qt pit girl in the leather get-up.
Suggestions?
>>64885717
Firestorm was best bot, fuck glory-seeking Razer fanboys.
>>64885847
Firestorm is and always will be the ultimate big-game choker. He's the Arsenal of Robot Wars.

never realized it was Jonathan Pearce that did the Robot Wars commentary. Hate that cunt.
>>64886652
Fuck you, his commentary was GOAT.

GTFO faggot
goddamn rachel riley is fine. ethnic English girls never have that kind of ass....except paige turnah
I loved both Battlebots and Robot Wars for different reasons.
I thought the House bots of robot wars were cool but I hated the lighting for the arena and aside from Razer didn't like many of the other bot designs.
I thought Battlebots had better commentators and a better announcer and I liked a lot of the bot designs but with the freedom of the heavyweight class bots you got some retardedly one sided matchups.
(Son of Whyatchi vs. Nightmare)
Biohazard had a flawless design and was GOAT
>>64886652
why do you think people in motd threads call him robot wars?
>>64886652
>>64887177
His Robot Wars commentary layered over football is still one of my favourite youtube concepts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns9Q1Q0d9BA
Still doesn't beat DnB layered over American Pentecostal church services but still.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_JmXCNPs6Y
>american copy of robot wars
lol what a shock, fuck off you unoriginal twats. this is a Robot Wars thread.
clarkson should host again. he can still work for the bbc, just not on top gear.
>>64887346
DnB at a babtist church is the most amazing thing I'll see today and it's 9:51am
>>64887403
No, he's truly shit
>>64887346
That was amazing
>>64887346
Mate that DnB video might be the best thing I have ever seen, on youtube. Having been to plenty of DnB club nights I can tell you that it really isn't a million miles off, just similar enough to make it completely hilarious.
>>64887346
>that DnB
Fucking noice

help
>>64888507
Are you aware of smug_essien.jpg?
>>64884786
inb4 biohazard again shows that the most boring robot also has the best design.
Maybe they'll allow robots to actually be destroyed now, since they aren't as expensive.
>>64888612
Mate that doesn't happen anymore, this robot has consistently won the bulk of the robot combat tournaments its entered over the past few years in America. The advancements in batteries just allow so much more power to be drawn into a weapon.

>This against hypno disc
FUCKING MAKE IT HAPPEN
>>64888878
that's another thing. I kind of wish they'd focus more on the bots desu. The guys who make them are usually cunts. Or they could be over the top cunts, like pro wrestlers. That'd be entertaining.
>>64889027
These two were always pretty WWE like

new motor and battery tech makes new bots so much more powerful
Stop posting this horrid battlebots shite.
how assblasted must the wwe fags be that there will be daily/weekly robot wars threads on /sp/ but no mandrama
top, top kek
>>64885433
Wasn't this posted in the /tv/ thread?
>>64887346
That DnB thing is the funniest shit
>>64887758
Isn't the whole point of "dancing" to DnB that you just go a bit mental?
>>64890025
Yeah, it's the appeal, bear in mind that a good 90% of people who go to it are on MDMA anyway, which makes you go a bit mental at the best of times. Never thought I'd like the genre at all until I tried it high like that.
