Anybody watch this back in the day?
What design was best?
Yeah, It was fucking shit.
Mah nigga tombstone
Was there ever a saw weapon that worked? Was there every any cutting weapon that worked other than a couple pincer ones?

The winner of this is my favorite, just kicks ass.

Sir chomps a lot was best design
He was a wedge when closed and a dustrucity inducing crusher
TFW we have to wait an extra week for a new episode because of Obama's race relations show
>>72059999
In the end it turned out that the bots who would actually try and wreck their enemy weren't effective, so it turned into sumo wrestling and nobody liked it anymore.
>>72060144
how the fuck does this thing work? Is that an electrical charge that makes its opponent fly around?
>>72060308
It's spinning drum with uneven parts that tear bots apart
>>72060308
This picture shows the spinner pretty well. That big hunk sticking out wrecks shit when it's spinning that fast.
What's neat is that this bot couldn't exist back in the 90's/early 2000's. AFAIK, they wouldn't have been able to generate that kind of power while staying under the weight limit. Thank god for better batteries.

Oh yeah and I'm also a worthless retard who forgets pictures.
Here's his other fight http://www.hulu.com/watch/956157

>>72060144

>>72060144
Quite possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Hi
>>72063615
They don't record the audience because it sounds awful.
>>72063897Razer is dragged into the pit by Kill-E-Krank-E in the very first battle of the whole series, they blame the slippery metal floor but give kudos to Team Pussy Cat for sacrificing their own chances to get rid of the biggest competition.
Pic related is an image from the website that spoils the exact moment.
>>72063897
Was it ever beaten? I know it rekt one of the house bots once.
Anyway Hypo-Disc was the best to watch. That nigga used to shred the fuck out of everything.
>>72059999
this one desu
>>72064022
>Was it ever beaten?
All the time. They went out the first heat's during series 2, 3 and 4 but then made it to both the series 5 and 6 grand final after they perfected all the problems.
>>72060144
Well shit for such an unassuming little bot the minotaur lived up to its name
>>72064022
Razer was beat a few times.
>Inquisitor
>Aggrobot
>Pussycat
>Tazbot went it entered Battlebots
>Tornado>Kill-E Crank-E
tell me if my bot idea would work
1 is the weapon weight
2 is the counterweight
3 is the rail
basically it's a spinner but there is a weight or hammer or some type of weapon on a rail in a fixed position
you spin up, press a button release the rail to hammer opponent at range
>>72063897
beat me to it, GOAT
>>72060290
This.
By banning certain forms of bots and types of weapons, the show runners setup a metagame in which everyone makes a robot that can:
1. Flip their opponent, since it's the easiest way to win a fight
2. Design their robot so they can't be flipped, and/or can be operated in the inverted position
3. Spinning blades are the only real threat weapon due to inertia.
No variety = boredom = show death
>>72064231
>Tornado
THAT WAS FUCKING BULLSHIT
>>72060144
I'm still surprised Blacksmith lasted that long
>>72063840
all the drones in Battlebots have sucked
>>72064317
Razer didn't let go. Thats why Tornado won
are harpoons allowed?
Who /wrecks/ here? Wheels are for scrubs.
>>72064418
Why the fuck was this allowed?
>>72060144
That thing wrecks
>>72064603
If they're tethered. Producers and event runners dont want projectiles accidently murdering anyone.
>>72064623
It was within the rules at the time, and it was declared before the championship started.
>>72063897
Hi buddy, how you been?
>>72064836
DELETE THIS
>>72063840
Drones suck ass man. Almost as shitty as the walkers.
>>72064836
I'M STILL ANGRY
