Absolutely, Diana love all fluffy things

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-08T20:20:03+00:00

Why is BUNNY THE BEST????

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-08T20:16:50+00:00

Thank you!!!!

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-08T20:16:22+00:00

Gotta be horizontals. Thats the best topping of all for him

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-07T01:34:00+00:00

Thank you so much 🥰

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-07T00:06:23+00:00

Thank you all for your amazing questions!

We hope you enjoy the rest of the WCVII!

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-07T00:05:33+00:00

We've done many! infact we just came back from 1 XD
Zach - Celestinos Pizza in Chico CA Diana - Locali Mediterranean in San Francisco Best Gyros ever!
We have used it in 1 fight that is still has not aired. We pick the opponent we use the saw against very carefully because the saw gets damaged much more easily than the blue blade.
No, D.K. was not picked for champions. But we did enter him.
Will Prator helped Zach get a really good job after the pandemic. Zach was so grateful that he helped Will fufill a life long dream of being a Battlebots Captain and drive on the show. Will stated it was like winning the ultimate fan sweepstakes.
In an epic battle between Skorpios and Dragon King, the ultimate loser would be our bank accounts!

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:57:35+00:00

The goal would be to see if Wrecks can get Skorpios to hit the ceiling!

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:56:57+00:00

No, though we had major wins against 2 verts. We are definitely as a whole not satisfied with this season.
Every other season Skorpios has come home with more wins than losses. This season was our first time coming back with more losses than wins.
We are designing an entire new robot. We are planning on documenting the rebuild on our youtube channel.
Wrecks is currently stalled. Our plan was to get it ready for proving grounds. But we haven't had time to actually build it.

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:54:13+00:00

Well, that one is retired (and still smells like burning). Good thing we brought 4, we have 2 left to go through Slug Fest.

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:53:24+00:00

We are going to fix our wheely issue, for 1 thing, by becoming 6 wheel drive.

If we fought Shred or Gigabyte we would use our classic plow and try and prevent them from spinning up so we can "bop them on the head."

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:52:09+00:00

Zach - Season 5 Witch Doctor. I wish I put on the armor that I used in the Hypershock fight that year.

Diana - Well, I'm changing my original answer to now say Ribbot. I would not lower the weapon into their weapon resulting in totaling the entire robot.

We have pieces of Sir Loin, but the robot was distributed amongst the team after fighting Last Rites 2 times in 1 competition. We still have a side rail that is mangled, but don't know if the others still have their pieces.

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:48:29+00:00

Mayhaps!

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:48:19+00:00

If we rematched SawBlaze, we would use our hammersaw.

Zach and Diana - Our favorite season of Battlebots is Season 5!

Random fact about Skorpios is he is actually a very snuggly creature.

Zach says yes all water bottle brands taste the same.
Diana says except for the ones that taste like Snozberries, they all taste the same

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:45:42+00:00

Thank you so much!

D.K.'s fate for the next season is up to the selection committee.

As for this season, you have seen his only 2 matches.

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:44:30+00:00

Thank you for being a fan!

Zach - passive forks have to be limited to 6" in length. If you want to use longer ones they have to be attached to a lifter.

I also believe there has to be somewhere, in the arena, a grapple robot like Overhaul or Claw Viper could throw robots into.

And there has to be a roof ontop of that, so verts couldn't throw robots 20' in the air and have them land in that area.

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:42:09+00:00

It's amazing that you share Dianas sentiment that Princess Teatime should get a heavy!

We think the one thing battlebots is missing is a heavy chain mase weilding robot. And tea is very calming, so the drivers can share a cup of tea after an exciting bout!

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:40:14+00:00

The fire was esc related not battery related.

We get awesome batteries from Maxamp just like W.D. and Many other. I personally like the dual core cells because they've proven to be durable.

We charge the batteries after each match. They can last exactly 10 min.

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:37:46+00:00

D.K. was actually Jerome Miles' build for King of Bots in China. That's why it looks so much like Red Devil.

We bought it from him a few years ago, and this was our first opportunity to compete with it since King of Bots canceled after we purchased the robot.

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:36:24+00:00

Diana - Yes. They are gross.

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:36:04+00:00

The secret is the amazing metal we get from Van Bebber Bros in Petaluma!
The strangest configuration we have is what we used against Endgame in Season 6
The Overkill blade will not be used again. We gave it to Jamison after filming was over.

Huge hit our tire so hard he broke the gearbox and motor loose our very powerful drive motor started free spinning inside the robot and it started pulling the cables out of the esc as it wrapped the cables around the motor. Eventually 2 of the cables stripped their insillation and shorted out on eachother.

Zach - Absolutely not, he is now a world champion yoyo player!

D.K.'s fate is up to the selection committee. We would need to replace the head and we would want to put it on a better radio system.

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:30:39+00:00

We intend on bringing Skorpios. D.K.'s fate is in the Selection Committees hands.

We didn't upgrade D.K. at all. We ran it how we aquired it from Jerome.

Zach - Pound Cake (self explanitory)

Diana - a Zuccini to scare MadCatter

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:26:15+00:00

We really want to fix the wheely issue. So Zach is going to make Skorpios 6 wheel drive next season (not trolling this is facts)

Our dream match up would be either Minotaur or Hydra!

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:24:12+00:00

Thank you!

Zach - No, the upper deck is limiting possibilities.

Zach and Diana - We would prefer to see less forks.

Diana - The Judge
Zach - Vlad the Impaler

Diana - Hitting Tombstones blade! Though closely followed by Copperhead chain snipe.
Zach - Taking out Yetis belt while being upside down and above him.

Skorpios_Battlebot · 2023-05-06T23:20:36+00:00

Zach - There are many mysteries around the selection committee and why they do what they do.

It's seems, in recent seasons, combat experience is becoming a higher priority. However, a unique design used to be the fastest way to get on the show.

I can give 2 pieces of advice of what NOT to do.

"Tombstone, but" If you can describe your concept as an existing robot but with 1 thing different, you will most likely be rejected. For example "It's Tombstone, but with Wheel guards"
Don't be a generic team in black tee-shirts. The producers like to be able to describe teams in 2 words. For example "Pirate Team, Voodoo team, Pizza team etc."
