Calwings 05/04/23 7:03:00 PM #1:	https://iili.io/HShwSnV.jpg The postseason has finally arrived! The first round of the BattleBots postseason tournament begins tonight. I don't actually know which first round matches we'll see tonight, but we know it'll be hype. You can also use this topic to post your final predictions for the tournament as well... I've got Minotaur winning it all on my bracket. As a reminder, please put any discussion of match results under spoiler tags until 24 hours after the episode airs out of consideration for people who can't watch the episode live, especially if you decide to watch the episode early on Discovery+ before it airs on TV. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg <cite>Calwings posted [p:973267886] in BattleBots...

Calwings 05/04/23 9:30:06 PM #13:	Mad Catter vs. Claw Viper was a fantastic fight. I would have scored it 6-5 for Claw Viper because IMO they controlled more of the fight and Mad Catter ended with more damage (even though part of it was self-inflicted) but it was close enough that I understand why it would go the other way. And then ~~Huge absolutely fucked up Skorpios. That was brutal.~~ Starks posted... Watch the special coverage at the end if you need clarification on that. ~~Riptide met weight and tip speed.~~ Even if the bot met the requirements on every single check, the team still broke a BattleBots rule (not an unwritten rule based on respect and being a decent human being, one that's actually in the rule book) by doing something to modify their bot after the weigh-in and essentially got off scot-free. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg <cite>Calwings posted [p:973270414] in BattleBots...

Calwings 05/06/23 1:58:32 PM #25:	Based on the latest "Fight of the Week" video upload to the official BattleBots Youtube channel, sadly it feels like they're really leaning into this Riptide drama. The comments section of the video is predictably a dumpster fire of toxicity as well. I'm going to say this right now: If Team Riptide is allowed back for next season after everything that's happened with them this season, then I will not be watching that season. Them being allowed back without any significant consequences would just be a sure sign that the higher-ups care more about this drama than they do about integrity, sportsmanship, and respect, and that's not a sport that I want to support. --- https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg <cite>Calwings posted [p:973301062] in BattleBots...

As a reminder, please put any discussion of match results under spoiler tags until 24 hours after the episode airs out of consideration for people who can't watch the episode live, especially if you decide to watch the episode early on Discovery+ before it airs on TV.

Almost seemed like those tiny wheels on the bot just couldn't get any traction on the floor but no other team has had that problem, was even more disappointing than Fusion catching fire and dying 15 seconds into their fight since we've come to expect that at this point. --- Are we the baddies? <cite>ANort175 posted [p:973422569] in BattleBots...

The only thing I've seen as a possibility, is that the upper deck might not have been metallic enough and the magnets inside Beta couldn't provide enough traction. I find it hard to believe he seriously got switched off/disabled since that takes the whole 'no armor in the back' to a new level. Then again he had clearance issues in his first fight iirc, scraping the floor. ~~I'm immeasurably disappointed in Quantum not giving a good bite to that ass and saying 'just leave him there'.~~ <cite>Purple_Cheetah posted [p:973422642] in BattleBots...
