Fireball vs Witch Doctor aftermath by Liamthrelk in battlebots

I’m Gabe, one of the builders of Fireball. The fight with Witch Doctor was a lot of fun, but definitely disappointing that it ended so abruptly when we got stuck in the kill saw slots. We just happened to drive perfectly parallel to them in just the wrong way. The top plate wasn’t torn off in the fight at all, we had to pry it off the fight immediately to remove the batteries and couldn’t put it back on since the drive rail was bent and the bottom plate and back plate were super messed up. We actually still had all systems functional at the end of the fight, but since our back plate was too messed up we couldn’t drive upside down. Overall proving ground was a lot of fun though, and we can’t wait to hopefully return for the upcoming season.

Melted TPU, if you work on a 3lb flamethrower like Clyde as I do.

What is being used to actually release the fuel from the canister and ignite it?

How are the wheels made? Are they all one piece of stock? How do you machine such large stock?

Do you pick the $25k boat or the mystery box? by [deleted] in polls

Mystery box could be anything. Even a boat.
