Battlebots S2 Round of 32 Part One

Okay, screw spoilers, I am pissed off at the Witch Doctor VS Red Devil fight. Witch Doctor was set up to win this tournament, but then Red Devil had to go and get ONE shot in. ONE. That was all it took for Red Devil to break Witch Doctors batteries. I'm really really mad. If Witch Doctor had just gotten on the side of Red Devil and attacked, they most likely would have won. As they said afterward, they shouldn't have put in Shaman and instead kept their front armor plow thing. I'm just mad, because even though Red Devil isn't all that bad, it's going to be destroyed. It's in line with Cobalt, SOW, Poison Arrow, and Hypershock. Red Devil beating these would be a huge upset.

 

Anyway, the other fights. the Yeti VS Lucky fight was a very good fight. Yeti is actually a very good bot and has the potential to win. Lucky was just meh. It's not very good, and got smashed to bits. I like Yeti, and it would be cool if it won. Minotaur VS Blacksmith was also very good. I don't really care for Blacksmith, but I would not be upset if Minotaur won the tournament. Anyway, Minotaur literally destroyed Blacksmith. Blacksmith caught fire, the third time a robot has in the tournament so far (I think). Finally, Bronco VS ChromeFly. ChromeFly is a neat looking robot, but it's pretty terrible. Bronco hit one of it's blade one time and ChromeFly literally exploded. Then Bronco broke it's other blade and flipped it out of the arena. So yeah, ChromeFly was bad.

 

So those were the fights that happened. Now though, the bracket is online, so I can talk about the fights I'd like to see! I'm most excited for the Nightmare VS Icewave fight. Both are destructive robots and I really like Nightmare. i'm putting faith in Nightmare because it's giant blade is in the right position to smash Icewaves top. The second fight I'm excited for is SOW VS Poison Arrow. SOW is destructive and dangerous, but Poison Arrow has a drum spinner, and vertical spinners tend to overpower horizontal spinners. Both of these bots have a chance to knock out the other, so this fight should be good. The last one I'm most excited for is Brutus VS Lockjaw. Lockjaw did pretty bad against Yeti, and Brutus has a similar weapon AND guns. I don't like Lockjaw and Brutus is pretty awesome, so i'm probably going to enjoy this fight. Also, honorable mention is the Tombstone VS Escape Velocity fight, because any Tombstone fight tends to be great.

 

So, that was that!

The Minotaur VS Blacksmith battle was the most intense out of the four. Blacksmith despite getting pounded and getting torn apart still tries to fight back. Very few robots can take critical hits and keep ongoing. But seriously, the contenders that came from Brazil were definitely the ones to watch out for! They might even be the Battlebots champions. It's no joke saying they've won 50 robot competitions. Wowza!

 

Did you know? Yeti was built by the same contender who made two robots who didn't get far in the original Battlebots? That's what I remember.

 

Can't wait for what other battles lie ahead of us. (Hopefully Nightmare doesn't get flipped again. You'd wish Nightmare has a self-righting mechanism this time around.)
