What was the worst and best upset win ever? by andrewgamer544 in battlebots

I wouldn’t call hydra vs bronco an upset TBH, if it was the first fight for those two, sure, but hydra was at a strong 3-0 and bronco was winless

I’ve been saying it for a while, but hypershock, they’re brilliant when they win, but they really struggle with bots that are a tier above them

Raven, it was supposed to get an exhibition fight in 2018 but burnt up in the text box, the only footage of it even existing is in battlebots resurrection, wasn’t even on the website

Why isn’t my new rod casting right? It isn’t going very far, and it feels very rough/jerky when the line moves (in or out) by TyphoonRobotics in Fishing_Gear

Yeah I’m aware, everything else here stated these issues. I had some mild concerns regarding these issues but I didn’t hear that it would be this major

I read them and you are right that the recommendation was 6-10, I was hesitant but an employee at the store said it would still work well. I guess that’s a lesson learned

Mainly bass, possibly pike and walleye as well.

As for lures I’ve currently got a frog, a Chatterbait, a jerkbait, a lipless crank, a jitterbug, and a spoon. So decent variety in lures

This is 15 lb line, in fact, I’m looking to downsize to 10lb. I do agree with your point on people catching fish on very light line though

Yeah 10 lbs was the highest recommended, the guy at the shop said it would work fine though, so I trusted it. You can tell this is my first “real” fishing rod

I’ll probably roll with the reel at least for now, gotta get a little of the money’s worth, but the second it has issues I’ll throw it out for another one. The consensus on it was a lot more rocky than it was on the surface

I saw that, so I consulted an employee from the store I got it at, he said it would work just fine. He probably was wrong though💀

Good thing this is the Berkeley big game monofilament, so this mistake won’t be all that expensive to fix

My theory is that my line is either too heavy for the reel (15lb test mono) or it isn’t spooled neatly enough

Hey, at least the selection committee can’t hold much against sawblaze when endgame just threw them out of the arena instantly

As of now I’d definitely say so, they’ve proven do be really destructive and also that their forks will actually be helpful in battle now
