Bite Force is your Battlebots champion! It just stunned the beast that is Tombstone via judges decision. What a design choice on the part of Bite Force. Excellent strategy and design. I didn't think Tombstone was going to have a hard trip to the final if it wasn't for the Witch Doctor match. What happens if, let's say, it didn't go after Bronco some more in the semifinal. Does it win?

Does it win? I don't know, it looked like Tombstone was working perfectly fine in the final fight before it made contact. Probably burnt out a motor or two trying to escape from that clamp. Also, I just saw on Wikipedia that Bite Force won by split decision. I don't know if that's true or not, but if so, then that fight was closer than it looked.

I don't know if a bot should escape from the clamp because of potential overheating.

I would say I'm looking forward to watching this, but I work 3rd shift. Looks like I'll have to settle with watching this online after the show has aired.

Spoilers for those of you who didn't watch, but don't care about the show enough to find the replay: Fight #1 ended with an obvious double KO. Fight #2 went to the judges, but it was obvious to know who won. Fights #3 and #4 were better battles, but both ended with double KOs.
Fire was the theme of the night.
A drone was in the qualifiers, but was taken out and then was repeatedly hit.
And if you have multiple bots that weigh 50 pounds... Not going to work.

Finally got to see the Battlebots special. Yeah, bringing five 50 lb. bots into the arena is never a good idea. I'm excited to see Son of Whyachi again. That thing was a beast in season 3 on Comedy Central's version. Also, it looks like the ladybug bot Tentomushi is returning in some way. I'm interested to see how that works especially when you've got bots like Bronco, Icewave, and Tombstone returning.

Yeah, bringing five 50 lb. bots into the arena is never a good idea. And going up against Son of Whyachi, too. I don't think it would've mattered how many bots entered.

I want to see Son of Whyachi vs. Tombstone. That would be amazing. Judging by the promos, at least we're going to see Bronco vs. Icewave. That should be interesting.

Just a reminder that season 2 starts this Thursday at 8 PM EST. I'd also like to see a rematch from the Comedy Central days between Son of Whyachi and Nightmare. The match they had on CC had one of the best hits in all of Battlebots. Pretty sure Nightmare is returning for season two. youtu.be/ylSRzeSoL_M?t=7m49s

Okay, here we go. Round of 48 begins tonight! Spoilers here. Don't expand if you haven't watched. Match #1: Bronco vs Blacksmith A flipfest from Bronco. Blacksmith lost its hammer in one of the flips, and gets stuck on the top of the spikes. For dessert, a flip of the hammer top. KO. Bronco wins.
Match #2: Captain Shrederator vs Deathroll Everyone was praising the looks of Deathroll, but I said "watch it get blasted to bits". I'm right. That crocodile was ripped up. KO. Captain Shrederator wins.
Match #3: Lucky vs Beta (bee-ta) Beta falls off the wagon on the ramp up to the box. It does start, and it's game on. Every time Lucky flips, it's a great comeback. This goes to the judges in a very entertaining fight. Beta wins.
Other fights: Icewave beats Subzero The Ringmaster beats Ultimo Destructo Escape Velocity beats Overdrive 2.0 Tombstone beats Black Ice
Match #4: Photon Storm vs Minitaur Photon Storm gets pieces of the body taken off, but Minitaur gets pinched once... And that's about it. One hit to Photon Storm is the one that knocks the pincher out. KO. Minitaur wins.

S_SweepFan3 - hope you don't mind an extended (also known as "short") recap in my spoiler.

S_SweepFan3 - hope you don't mind an extended (also known as "short") recap in my spoiler. I don't mind it at all. I appreciate the help. I'll probably go ahead and delete my previous post since having two different posts with spoilers of the results is redundant and you're doing a better job at it than I am.
