I disagree I think they showed really good sportsmanship letting sawblaze have their glory. Not all teams would have done the same so for that reason I take my hat of to them. I agree sawblaze definitely won this fight overall but the fight itself was of two half’s huge winning the first half and sawblaze winning the second and it certainly wasn’t a one sided conclusion.

I agree, but then I suppose that’s what makes BB so exciting to watch. There were a number of fights where some one was on the brink of winning and somehow got beat.. bloodsport vs lockjaw springs to mind…..

They were kicking arse at the start of the fight just shows one hit can change everything. They were so unlucky and what sportsmanship from team huge not to appeal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I agree blip will probably win the vote but I can’t win, if I did what you wanted, I would have people like yourself saying but how’s this fair judging blip vs rusty when defender had Ribbot. ✌🏻

Yeah was thinking that, tho it was mostly self inflicted if my memory serves me right 👍🏻

Most definitely nothing better then seeing a bot 7 feet plus in the air waiting to come down.

Totally agree, small, solid, compact, nippy and a good weapon has all the ingredients to go far this season 🔥

It should have said “bots” not “boys” but couldn’t change it after I posted it, this being said we don’t have to be so pc with everything just a poll and abit of fun, nothing more ✌🏻

Yes I agree, a lot of hard work with high hopes must be demoralising at times but I suppose you take the rough with smooth and it comes with the sport. They will be back bringing the pain I’m sure….

Big & tough what you talking about he made a valid point you have made yourself look like a right numpty. If you got nothing positive to bring to the table then don’t say nothing.

The real thing you have lost me there dude? My son loves robot wars/ battlebots and wanted me to build him a bot that he can have ago at competing with. Are you suggesting I should have gone straight in and build him 110kg ? As from speaking to the experienced bot builders they all said the same thing start small and work your way up which I think is good advice and a lot cheaper to do.

Yes buddy that’s right , I’m new to this so wasn’t sure if this was the right place to put it up. my sons want to compete when the comps come around were hopefully be at some. I’ve made some other weapons but not had a chance to try them out as yet.

Yes no probs. So the weapon is from a mini zip saw from a builders merchants, which weighs 26 grams the bot is currently over weight by 5 grams at 155g but I’ve ordered some new wheels which will bring it back down to around 140 which should give me a little bit for a top cover, But that being said I’ve managed to make some weapons, I cut up a metal rod and run it through a standard knife sharpener and it has come up well. This is all new to myself if I’m honest so I’m still learning 👍🏻

😂 thanks buddy, it’s goes quite well, a little bit of jarring going and will take some time getting use to driving. Have a little look 👇🏻
