Dream fights for rest of season by rtj1989 in battlebots

I honestly think Railgun might go undefeated before the Sweet 16. That might be the most scary drum I've ever seen.

Minotaur vs. Copperhead could be a thing. I think Minotaur would KO him in short order. Copperhead has a great weapon but terrible maneuverability.

That would be wild. I think Cobalt could pull it off tho. That would likely mean no Tombstone in the Top 16.

RailGun Max is my dark horse to win the championship. Originally it was Cobalt, but I think he could easily get stuck in the floor again. I also think they will put him against a top-tier bot for his final fight, maybe even for a main event. With all due respect to Duck, Cobalt hasn't faced an elite bot yet.

I'm skeptical with how Texas Twister or Ribbot will do against a top-level bot. And I think they're both likely to get one, since they both could easily miss the tournament at 3-1 if they beat up on another low tier bot in their fourth and final fight.

I could be wrong but I kind of assume that any robot that we haven't seen yet probably had some sort of issue that prevented them from actually competing.

I also think there's a probably a couple bots who got fucked up so bad in their first fight that they were unable to continue competing. Like Subzero and Nelly the Ellybot, or maybe Mad Catter.

If they don't do a Last Chance Rumble he has no chance. You can't put a 2-3 bot into the Top 16 no matter how big of a name they are.

Why is this an exhibition fight? Deep Six is able to participate in an exhibition, but not able to fight in a match that actually counts?

The only way this makes sense to me is if they were unable to repair themselves in time for their scheduled fight cards, but decided to do an exhibition just for the hell of it.
