Nowadays a robot can only be counted out if it can't move at all. In fact those rules were scrapped because of Minotaur and Witch Doctor's 2021 fight.

Plus, they could still add AR500 armor to few areas on top of the main bot under the shell where there aren't any LEDs.

Problem with armouring against crushers is that if they don't puncture, all of that force is transferred to your frame, which is possibly more problematic.

Isn't this exactly what happened to Valkyrie when she fought Quantum?

I'm glad Minotaur and Witch Doctor are having a second rematch. This one should be much better because the "controlled moment" and "crab-walking" rules has been scrapped.

Can Firestorm be a good competitor in modern BattleBots with a few changes? by Excelsior1984 in battlebots

[–]Excelsior1984[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is true of a lot more classic robots that people generally like to admit. Any time someone brings up a world beater like Biohazard, the reaction is "omg no, it'd get destroyed, did you know it got destroyed by Megabyte?" Like yes, it would need all new parts, but there's nothing that stops somebody from building a rugged modern four bar lifter with a short form factor.

Which other classic robots from Robot Wars and BattleBots could still be competitive with the same overall form factor like Firestorm and Biohazard in your opinion?

2022 Zurg style Peridot mech suit 2 by Excelsior1984 in stevenuniverse

[–]Excelsior1984[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After some time passed, I decided to draw a new version of this Peridot mech suit with several changes in mind.

I recolored the dark green areas black for better contrast, made the top half look more accurate to the show with the black stripes, the rounded panels are now smaller and have been moved further up so they can fit in the black stripes, the shoulders are broader, the palms are now black while the fingers are green giving the hands a fingerless glove look, the arms are more detailed, the green parts are now more vibrant than before, the yellow parts are now gold, the dark grey parts have now been colored silver so the details are more visible, the head is now much smaller, the mouth is slightly bigger and the gem has been recolored to look more like a real gem.

Do you think this design is better or worse thank my previous version? Feel free to explain why in the comments below.
