New season, new week, same old metallic mayhem! https://i.imgur.com/LsHnHvh.jpg The main event this week is last year's runner-up Whiplash taking on the brutal Bloodsport, plus we have more returning veterans including Yeti coming back after a year off, a pair of promising rookies in Defender and Blip, and a pair of lovable meme bots in Ribbot and Rusty. As usual, 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. Showtime for us TV viewers is at 8PM EST tonight on Discovery Channel (about 20 minutes from this post) and stay on the lookout for the Subzero vs. Shatter bonus fight on the BattleBots Youtube channel this coming Sunday. --- ''The cycle of suffering goes on, but the memories of you stay strong...'' https://i.imgur.com/Xyw75SQ.gif ...

Something tells me Whiplash is going to waste Bloodsport. Whiplash is so much tankier than most people would think, given how fast it is. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. ... Copied to Clipboard!

24 hours. So the big thing about this year's score card is that they don't have to reward all points in a category. So like if two bots fight and one bot had no damage and the other bot had some minor nicks and scrapes, it isn't like one bot gets a bunch of points. They might only give a single damage point total. So while Bloodsport probably did win damage that doesn't mean he actually would get anywhere near the full 5 points. And frankly given how it was mostly just some wedge nicks, probably shouldn't. I hope that made sense. I'm very drunk right now. --- *Gheb is my other account* ... Copied to Clipboard!

God, Matt Vasquez is so amazing. Good for him. Also, Kraken is such a shitty robot... I feel bad cuz the captain has posted on social media defending it saying "We like having a fun robot!" but like, it's just not really good at doing anything besides causing fights to get stopped so the robots can be pried apart. --- http://poorcouplesfoodguide.com Agender, curry fan, Top 10 lister, indie dev, gym hitter, musician, et al. ...

Subzero vs Shatter is up. Shatter looks really scary this season. Subzero has historically been durable bot, but it still has all these issues. --- Paid for by StarksPAC, a registered 501(c)(4) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Just watched the bonus fight. A shame that Subzero was having issues and their flipper didn't seem to be working, but Shatter impressed me. Its axe definitely looks stronger (and maybe faster?) than it did the last time we saw it. --- ''The cycle of suffering goes on, but the memories of you stay strong...'' https://i.imgur.com/Xyw75SQ.gif ...

By the way, the rules for ablative armor are weird. It really doesn't count as damage until you start ripping it off and compromising its protective abilities. --- Paid for by StarksPAC, a registered 501(c)(4) ... Copied to Clipboard!
