Battlebots starts in 15 minutes on ABC. Episodes are now only one hour long. Second half of the round of 32.
Will another bot win tonight because of muh vagina? Tune in.
Gotta start building a bot now
The front will have flaps that spread open and then slam shut and be filled with spikes
>>71493196
What a terrible design. If you accidentally bump into it, it falls over.
>>71493196
I'm recording it. I'll watcch it later
>>71493296
that's exactly what happened in the fight too
>>71493247
Way too complicated and you will never catch anything. Clamp/entrapment bots rarely work. Complete Control is an outlier.
I participated in a national robotics competition when I was in HS, but the robots were peaceful and productive.
>>71493349
Like 15 times
Allegedly they cut a couple instances of chomp failing so that they could justify the judges retarded decision
>>71493247
>building a vagina into the bot
You literally cant lose
>>71493196
>>71493296
such a shit robot, makes me think that all the LIDAR shit and automation was suggested by the producers of battlebots to give them a reason to wildcard it. I just dont understand why you would go to the effort of doing all the electronic shit and then give it a 10 foot high centre of gravity.
>>71493296
No shit, it got tipped about 5 times, got a peck or two in with the hammer, and got the win. Of course the gamer slut judge was the tiebreaker.
It's fine though, will be fun seeing it meet Tombstone or Icewave, and Discobot will certainly get a wildcard for not raising hell on such a BS decision
>>71493435
oh wow. that's ridiculous
the judges always seem to mess up. they should fight until a knockout
>>71493196
let me guess there will be a box on 4 wheels and have a spinner on top
>the girl who made Plan X is coming back
>>71493497
>le spinners are overpowered
>last years winner was a slow flipper made of plastic
>>71493470
The trouble is that almost every robot only has 4-5 minutes of battery capacity, and sometimes you have two bots that will never knock eachother out. In the chomp fight, neither robot was capable of damaging the other.
>>71493575
Yea, with her original bot she entered when she was like 13
>>71493196
Battlebots is meme-tier now. That one fucking spinning bot changed all the rules; there is no more competition after that.
>>71493601
Biteforce was waterjet cut steel, it was not slow and it was also not a flipper. I buy parts from the people who cut it actually
It's robot fighting time!
>>71493604
oh yeah. I never thought about the battery life
>>71493575
Lisa Winter a cute

>HAHA I GOTCHU LMAO

This was a cunt move but the new Complete Control is pretty cool. First time I've ever seen flame used effectively in any robot fight.

At least the brits had the sense to ban all entanglement devices... I hate those boring fucking flippers...Robot fights with no carnage is pointless faggotry.
I hope all 3 bots fail
all these meme teams
>>71493848
I hope both the furry's former teammates destroy him and then lose.
>The Undertaker built a Battlebot
>guns are pistons
calling it now
Reminder that girls suck at this.
>>71493868
They will all be culled by actual bots in no time

This should be fun.
Team Mobius isnt trying hard enough imo
Every week we get closer to WWE
>>71493798
Anyone?
>>71493914
>>71493885
It's just going to shoot sparks or something gay like that.
What channel is Battle Bots? I believe ABC is playing WWE Thursday night RAW
battlebots has taken the memes to far
Mobius team is smart.
Create such a sideshow, you will get a wildcard just because of your outfit
>>71493889
I don't remember this.
Is that real?
>>71493931
ABC
>>71493929

So they're the Undertaker of Battlebots?
>>71493967
jizz
BTFO
Fucking spinners should be banned!
OH SHIT
>>71493956
They were a short clip because the match was shit. Just like they summary all the bad matches
halloweeen
is over
Aaron Rodgers bot shooting smoke bombs
X GON GIVE IT TO YA
Mobius just got ultra cucked
>projectiles and drones are now allowed
Battlebots a shit.
holy fuck projectiles are going to be the new FOTM now
>dead in 5 seconds
GUNS WORKED
WHAT THE HELL
That was fucking quick.
You just can't beat spinning bars.
What the fuck was it shooting? Did it fuck up the screws?
How fucking cheap can you be?
It destroyed itself?!
Moebius.
You're too slow!
>it melted the crushers in the ring
Jesus
>>71493991
Stall, apparently.
>cheap batteries exploding
They are a wildcard for sure
Fake bullets do nothing
Other bot literally fucked itself up
>>71494054
Shots did nothing. The other bot fucked itself over.
losers!
>Meme Doctor
I can't wait to see them get btfo again.
I wanna fuck the Witch Doctor girl.
>Costume Corner Warlocks vs MIT team
Gee, what a surprise
> spinning flat cone with limited ranger
> vs a bot that can just flip it the fuck over with a long spatula
Is it any wonder the round was so fast?
>>71493989
Best answer
>>71494129
The worst part is, they have a really decent bot
>>71494116
Posted before replay. They thing exploded on start up.
the shots may have been just for show but a high projectile shooting bot would be strong desu
>guns were fake
>bot literally killed itself
>>71494129
post the webm where thy flip
>flying drones and guns in Battlebots
Fucking finally. We just need the bots to be about 10x bigger and it'll be perfect. And ban flippers. It's boring as fuck. unless the loser is getting shredded and flying about it's a fast forward match.
>>71494143
Lightning bolt!
Lightning bolt!
Lightning bolt!
Oh wait. That's what the MIT kids were shooting, not the worlock cosplayers.
>>71494171
What sucks is the had Tombstone beat too.
>>71494162
That's why they're banned.
>>71494173
>And ban flippers. It's boring as fuck
>>71494187
many keks
wtf are the espys
>>71494173
flippers are based desu,but fuck wedges
Ghost Raptor is fucking shit
Oh shit it's self destruct whyatchi
BASED CHUCK
Why is Chuck so damn likeable.
We have fun now pitting the robots against each other
What if one day they turn on us?
yfw the MIT kids secretly were firing focused EMPs at the other bot
>>71494231
An email is electronic mail. An espy is an electronic spy.
Alright boys.
A useless spinner versus the modular cheater.
Who wins?
How much PSI would it take a water jet to cut a bot without damaging the box?
>>71493196
dear basedgod I love this fucking showwwwww
>Ghost Raptor
>>71494197
they are banned because they could possibly make it through the glass.
Dont want a spectator being shot
lawnmower bots are the new meta
>>71493642
nah, people just hadnt adjust to the horizontal spinner meta last season, they are going to get fucked up but vertical drum spinners this season.
a really shallow cone shaped robot with no weapon could fuck up tombstone just by making it shit up its own drive train or snap its weapon on the arena floor
>>71494280
Wasn't there a spinner this year that was so powerful they didn't let it compete?
I think it could go through the cage.
Ghost Raptor guy is kinda cute
>>71494162
No shit, it be like a boxer adding rock throwing to their arsenal
SOW killed Biohazard
Memeraptor is a faggot
Who do I root for?
Best waifu in the history of Robot Wars.
>>71493789
no, the cunt move was retroactively changing the rules they forgot to include and letting king autism win a rematch that shouldnt have happened
>rust in peace
this should be good
>>71494346
>biohazard bro
Nice
Ghost Raptor is so fucking lame, lets just hope SOW rips it to pieces
They need Housebots like in Robot Wars
Also the house obstacles dont do anything
Has anyone see the floorsaws do anything?
>>71493889
wait, Sweet Revenge looks like a pink colored Tombstone.
Would they have been as good as Tombstone if the spinner actually had worked properly?
>two lawnmower bots at once
RIP in peaces
Spinners are death incarnate in this competition. I'm betting on Meme Raptor.
>A crappy robot
Damn right
>all those signs in the same handwriting
does production just hand them out before the show or what?
>ghost raptor is a crappy bot
Throwing shade before throwing the bot around the arena
ghost raptor is so fucked
Shit, I didn't realize this was back already.
What have I missed? Fuck it, I'llr ead it in the thread.
Damn that's an agile-looking bot.
I think I remember a friend of a friend inviting us to sit in on a college engineering class that pretty much did battle bots with Lego robots. Might have been like a soccer match too.
>you can say "bitches" but not "shit" on ABC
???
>>71494405
maybe but their spinner is small as fuck compared to tombstone
>>71494253
gotta love those floppy tits,
kuddos Stella.
one of my favs.
she's no Sensual Jane or Tessa Fowler, but still.
tard vs tard
>memeraptor breaks itself
>mini bot actually doing something

Fucking lel
LONG LIVE THE MANTIS!
Bwahahaha
Got fucked
>having a minibot-sized hole under your wheels
...
First time a minibot has ever done something.
Rekt
CIA FUCKING DIES
>>71494253
>tfw just downloaded this video in HD
think i'll have a good fap after the show
>ghostraptor taken out
Thank goodness!
>"ghost raptor is a crappy bot"
>ghost raptor practically immobilizes itself
>>71494454
Literally misogyny
> minibots
Son of weyachi just did the other team fucking dirty
Have these guys fought, yet?
>sitting around letting him rekt the fuck out of your bot before you even start your weapon
>he proceeds to destroy your weapon
>he proceeds to use his mini bot to lock you up
>he proceeds to blow you the fuck out
Feels so fucking good to see, I hated Ghost Raptor last season . Truly was a crappy bot
>>71494533
Catching up on last week
Is this humanoid robot for real?
>>71494644
Just a gimmick. A bad one.
>>71494616
this
He was the guy who threw the huge fit about the MITfags net trick
The more stupid shit the robots have tacked on them the more likely they are to lose. The real winners are the simple compact bots with spinners. Tacking a bunch of sheet metal garbage on your bot is just putting out more stuff to get ripped off by a spinner bot.
>>71494644
no it's total shit
cool concept though
>>71494644
it works for like 2 seconds
>>71494644
Youll see soon enough, how not for real it was
>>71494644
if that shit had better responsiveness it could be a killer
>>71494665
Example: Tombstone.
>>71494644
Have you seen the fight yet?
Its like watching a fire breathing dog attack a double amputee
>>71494644
It's real but a shit bot. It has potential but they spent so much time on the arms they never added a fucking weapon. Just some steel hooks. They needed a crusher arm or a flamethrower.
>Yeti
>>71494660
No, that was Complete Control that tangled him in a net. The guy saw entanglement wasn't mentioned in the new rules, and did it for shits and giggles.
STEAMROLLER BOYS
HE'S ONE OF THE BIG GUYS
"He's a big guy... For you."
>I AM ONE OF THE BIG GUYS
UUUU
those springs aren't gonna do shit
>I AM one of the big guys
Spinner bots > Jaw/Clamp Bots > Flipper bots > everything else
They should get rid of all rules besides upper weight limit.
Any weapon allowed.
>>71494857
even a nuke?
>Lock Jaw
>Yeti
Which one sucks worse?
>no armor
>can go toe-to-toe with S.O.W. and Tombstone
I doubt it.
>>71493707
>Who /sp/
Me
And for all you /tv/ guys who dont watch sports.
This is exactly what watching NFL is like.
You pick a team, you immediately have grudges and fans you hate. You immediately have friends with random people because of your team. You have roller coaster of emotions when your team does good or bad.
It can be extremely satisfying and exciting.
Its fucking great, this is coming from a fat kid who hated all sports. Didnt start watching till I was 19
>>71494854
I believe flippers are better than clamps.
I wonder if people gamble on these robofights.
TEAM SKINNYFAT VS TEAM BEARMODE
>>71494857
I wanna see bots with, like, napalm and guns and shit, or like a huge fucking dildo made out of solid steel
>>71494868
Especially a nuke
> Ayatollah of the Remote Controllah
>>71494868
Yes
it's like watching two beetles fight
That hammer is weak.
Oh shit. Chobot is gonna have to make a judgment call on this one
Can anyone hook me up with a stream?
>>71494952
I like that analogy.
HOW MUCH MORE CAN THEY TAKE!?
LOCKJAW SMOKING
How big are the wheels allowed to be? Is there a height limit or something?
>>71494952
Man, I wish bug fights were allowed on TV. Are their nerves even complex enough to feel pain?
>this fight
Best fight so far.
OH SHIT
OH SHIT
OH SHIT
This driver with Yeti is fucking terrible. He keeps attacking the most armored part of Lockjaw instead of going for the tires.
That fight was close.
Yeti is fucksd cause hes a rookie.
Who are you giving it to?
Lockjaw manhandled him, but yeti gets a lot of points from his drum
man, that was a good fight
If Lockjaw wins, it will only because it held Yeti at bay for so long but Lockjaw was definitely fighting from behind that whole time
>>71494602
yes and they all blew up
>>71495042
He did target those tires in the beginning
Lockjaw should win. Completely out drove Yeti.
Lockjaw won.
Will an hero on cam if not.
>>71495013
Pain at it's most basic form is just a signal saying "hey, something bad happened." Your brain will instinctually react to it, but I don't think bugs have the brain power to consciously acknowledge it.
Does the jaw not flip upside down or did it just break?
>>71495013
>Are their nerves even complex enough to feel pain?
Yes. Complexity of a nervous system isn't a defining factor for the ability to perceive pain, it depends on the sensory receptors that the system is equipped with.
>>71495052
I mean he DID use his jaw weapon to stop the drum, so that should count for something.
When will the GOAT return?
>>71495078
Screencapping this.
>>71495090
It broke in the first 15 seconds.
can we call rigged if the loser of this match isn't a wildcard
>>71495006
No rules, big tires are big targets though
>>71495099
They are actually back this season
>>71495131
Yes.
>>71495087
They acknowledge it, it triggers a fight/flight response.
>>71495051
Yeti did way more damage. Lock Jaw will get a wildcard out of it
>>71495096
right, thats what Im saying when I say he held him at bay
But Yeti did a shit ton of damage to Lockjaw. Damaged two tires and got him smoking.
>>71495131
Most definitely. Same with Disco Inferno.
>>71495053
Aww. I missed it.
Brb
Grabbing webcam
Bullshit.
>unanimous decision
>>71495078
Well, this is awkward. I hope you didn't type that in blood.
RIGGED
how psyched do you think Adam Savage was when his agent called him up that battlebots was being renewed and he was wanted as a guest judge?
RIGGED
THIS GAME IS RIGGED
It's not like these are people. They should just go to the death
>>71495245
That's what the vampires said about humans.
RIP TUMBLRBUG
>>71495242
>only guest judge
Wasn't he a competitor at one point? Seems like he should have--
HOLY SHIT DID THAT ROBOT JUST FLY AND SHOOT FIRE?
>>71495093
I guess I was thinking about something I read about crustaceans a long time ago. Pretty interesting, in any case.

LMAO the fucking walking bot disables itself.
