Seems odd that 3rd place gets to fight 10 on 10 and second place goes home, or have I misunderstood?

Another quality refereeing decision, but then he had no chance winning that decision against of team of young school girls, we know how much the refs like those Wink

That Magnetron or whatever it was called (the one that won) was a beautiful piece of work both aesthetically and operationally.

Yeah - loved the sound when it was at full speed. Reminded me of hypno-disc.

It doesn't need to though, it could win by only flipping out 1......


........ just let the others take each other out, and flip out the last guy standing

The 10 way will come down to who is the best driver and can stay out of trouble and pick their own battles

I'm going for Eruption, he's the guy that has flipped loads of bots out of the arena Smile I think Apollo might be too big of a target to avoid getting badly damaged.

Oh, sure, the smart strategy would be to reverse into a corner and stay there. However, it seems like the house bots might be free to go and rek any malingerers, plus a few of them will go autie-sperg rage.

true, plus also you can guarantee 3/10 robots won't even work in the arena (standing still, no connection, no weapon etc)

Best episode EVAR!!! Nuts 2 beating Carbide, Rapid catching fire, and Eruption coming through the 10 way to win the comp'. I think they played it smart, Apollo went in with everyone else and suffered.

I thought the final would be another walk over for Carbide, but Eruption stayed in there, taking a lot of damage so I dunno 100% about the decision but I'm glad they won.

Great finale!

Really calculated victory from Eruption, just taking the hits and draining the batteries down on Carbide.
Loved how involved Angela & Dara were getting Wub

I'd like Angela to show similar enthusiasm when I'm demonstrating my meat ram. Wub

best show ever!

i liked the eruption guy, was smart and calculated - never used his flipper unless he knew it was a good time. Fully deserved the overall win.

i love how hyped the bird and Dara were - i think they wanted the guy to win too , was pretty insane. especially when the spinner stopped working and then was nearly counted out in one of the earlier rounds.

the magnetar guy was pretty unlucky tbh, behemoth was stuck goin in circles and he went in for another hit - if hed've just waited for judges decision i think he wins

all in all it was genuinely good tv, had no idea who would win (i mean Nuts beating carbide wtf?! they had to adapt a special plate just to beat it) Behemoth getting instantly pitted (lol), and a worthy winner.

roll on next year

Do we think that little clusterbot presser the pit release when behemoth was on it as a tactic? Or was it dumb luck?

Also there was an exquisite bit of driving during the final - where eruption self righted into a reverse jump - OVER carbide.

All in all - a deserved victory, but I can’t believe they were the only team to sit back and wait in the 10 way! That was the obvious tactic! 9 idiots went out and 1 sensible team went through. 😂

Nuts hit the chain guard so would have disabled the weapon again. With Pulsar/Magnetar its been reliability that has cost them, they lost the spinner and I think the self-right as well.

I noticed that as well, it was brilliant Razz Particularity compared to Rapid that was flipping itself back onto its face and/or getting its flipper jammed open.

Rapid going up in flames was LOLZ.

Enjoyed that - so much so I watched nearly 30 minutes of it in total whereas usually I just skip to the fights.
