You know, the three pounds, the 30 pounds. 2031 01:33:55,630 --> 01:33:57,330 So we're seeing, like, 2032 01:33:57,530 --> 01:34:00,290 Riptide coming through and just clean everyone out. 2033 01:34:00,490 --> 01:34:02,710 Um, yeah I think just more weapon, more power 2034 01:34:02,910 --> 01:34:04,980 and the teams are going to get better and better. 2035 01:34:05,180 --> 01:34:08,190 I know that you guys wanted to win Giant Nut, I get it. 2036 01:34:08,390 --> 01:34:10,330 If there is a silver lining, 2037 01:34:10,530 --> 01:34:11,950 you finally get to sleep. 2038 01:34:12,150 -->

your respective bottopsy. 2041 01:34:18,390 --> 01:34:20,770 You guys were all amazing throughout this season 2042 01:34:20,970 --> 01:34:22,980 and provided a ton of entertainment. 2043 01:34:23,180 --> 01:34:25,430 Let's hear it for Will Bales of HyperShock, 2044 01:34:25,630 --> 01:34:27,880 Jack Barker and Nick Mabey of End Game. 2045 01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:30,130 Gentleman, thank you very, very much. 2046 01:34:32,340 --> 01:34:37,050 [Chris] All right, still ahead when we come back, we will talk to the captain that this 2047 01:34:37,250 --> 01:34:39,980 to Will Bales' bot, Ethan Kurtz of Riptide 2048 01:34:40,180 --> 01:34:42,050 and also Jake Ewert of Hydra. 2049 01:34:42,250 --> 01:34:44,260 They're still alive in the Round of 8. 2050 01:34:44,460 --> 01:34:47,670 That and more as we continue on here with The Road To The Giant Nut. 2051 01:34:47,870 --> 01:34:48,890 Don't go anywhere. 2052 01:35:00,820 --> 01:35:04,640 [Chris] With the Round of 16 giving us eight more dearly departed death machines, 2053 01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:07,500 let's pause for a moment of remembrance 2054 01:35:07,700 --> 01:35:11,670 as they find their way to the great scrap heap in the sky. 2055 01:35:11,870 --> 01:35:13,020 [Adrian Liaw] I'm literally like 2056 01:35:13,220 --> 01:35:15,640 fangirling out here, cause it was just so amazing to watch. 2057 01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:16,400 It was so fun. 2058 01:35:16,590 --> 01:35:18,120 [Julio Cortez] We're happy. 2059 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,880 We're the 16 best robots in the world. 2060 01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:23,190 [Matthew Vasquez] It was a great fight for Hydra. 2061 01:35:23,390 --> 01:35:24,860 I hope they, you know, go all the way. 2062 01:35:26,510 --> 01:35:28,460 [Tom Brewster] If I'm gonna lose to you, you better go all the way and win it. 2063 01:35:28,660 --> 01:35:30,810 I wanna lose to the champion. 2064 01:35:31,010 --> 01:35:32,950 [Jake] I think there's a lot to learn from this fight as well, 2065 01:35:33,150 --> 01:35:34,430 like we learned from last year. 2066 01:35:34,630 --> 01:35:37,460 So yeah, we have to go back to the drawing board and see what we got. 2067 01:35:37,660 --> 01:35:42,050 [Martin Mason] We showed you this robot, it can go three minutes with anybody. 2068 01:35:42,250 --> 01:35:44,600 [Donald Hutson] Those robots were gonna put everything on the table, 2069 01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:46,500 you know, and they did. 2070 01:35:46,700 --> 01:35:48,190 [Will] You can't make any mistakes. 2071 01:35:48,390 --> 01:35:50,130 I made a mistake, he won and deserves it. 2072 01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,190 [Chris] Hey, we love hanging out with our friends 2073 01:36:12,390 --> 01:36:14,080 here on The Road To The Giant Nut. 2074 01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:17,640 Hard to believe, Kenny Florian, we're one week away finding out 2075 01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:18,840 who's gonna hoist the Giant Nut. 2076 01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:20,910 I can't wait to see who ends it all. 2077 01:36:21,110 --> 01:36:23,120 All right, so there are eight robots remaining. 2078 01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:25,430 Let's take a look at the bracket. 2079 01:36:25,630 --> 01:36:28,600 Remember, next week is our biggest night of the year. 2080 01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:29,720 You're gonna see it all 2081 01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:31,120 the quarters, 2082 01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:32,190 the semi's, 2083 01:36:32,390 --> 01:36:34,290 and the championship final. 2084 01:36:34,490 --> 01:36:37,710 Now, Kenny just updated his odds to win the title, 2085 01:36:37,910 --> 01:36:39,710 so let's take a look. 2086 01:36:39,910 --> 01:36:43,190 [Kenny] Yeah, and for these odds, it's no longer just about pedigree. 2087 01:36:43,390 --> 01:36:45,500 You have to take a team's match ups 2088 01:36:45,700 --> 01:36:47,960 and path to the trophy into consideration. 2089 01:36:48,860 --> 01:36:50,360 Call me a prisoner of the moment, 2090 01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,150 but I'm a full-on Riptide believer now. 2091 01:36:53,350 --> 01:36:54,670 I think it's very possible 2092 01:36:54,870 --> 01:36:57,910 we see Riptide and Minotaur in the finals. 2093 01:36:58,110 --> 01:37:01,500 I also think having the only flipper at this point in the game 2094 01:37:01,700 --> 01:37:04,880 puts Jake Ewert and Hydra in a unique position. 2095 01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:07,290 One other team I'd keep an eye on is Huge. 2096 01:37:07,490 --> 01:37:10,290 The only bot left with the reach to damage their frame 2097 01:37:10,490 --> 01:37:11,500 is SawBlaze. 2098 01:37:11,700 --> 01:37:14,710 But Jamo might have the toughest road of anyone 2099 01:37:14,910 --> 01:37:16,080 to get to the finals. 2100 01:37:16,280 --> 01:37:18,220 Can't call Huge a dark horse at this point, 2101 01:37:18,420 --> 01:37:21,220 but that would be my best bang for your buck pick. 2102 01:37:21,420 --> 01:37:24,430 [Chris] Okay, we're fortunate enough to have two of the eight remaining captains 2103 01:37:24,630 --> 01:37:25,810 with us right now. 2104 01:37:26,010 --> 01:37:29,080 Let's welcome in the number 2 seed from Riptide, Ethan Kurtz, 2105 01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:32,050 the number 4 seed from Hydra, Jake Ewert. 2106 01:37:32,250 --> 01:37:33,950 - Put your hands together for them. - Yay! 2107 01:37:34,150 --> 01:37:35,310 [crowd cheering] 2108 01:37:36,480 --> 01:37:38,950 [Chris] Come on! 2109 01:37:39,150 --> 01:37:41,400 [Chris] Ethan, park that bad boy right here next to the table, right here. 2110 01:37:41,590 --> 01:37:42,980 Bring it in. 2111 01:37:43,180 --> 01:37:46,600 You delivered a hit never seen before in the seven seasons of this show. 2112 01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:47,400 Yeah. 2113 01:37:47,590 --> 01:37:49,980 That is lethal, is it not? 2114 01:37:50,180 --> 01:37:52,500 Just alone it just looks like a big block of steel, 2115 01:37:52,700 --> 01:37:54,430 but attached to a robot, it's pretty lethal. 2116 01:37:54,630 --> 01:37:55,740 And what does that thing weigh? 2117 01:37:55,940 --> 01:37:59,000 Uh, so this is Riptide's weapon bar, it weighs 55 pounds. 2118 01:37:59,480 --> 01:38:00,290 Fifty-five. 2119 01:38:00,490 --> 01:38:02,400 And what speed does it spin? 2120 01:38:02,590 --> 01:38:05,150 Uh, 250 miles per hour, around that. 2121 01:38:05,350 --> 01:38:07,100 Okay, now, where's your weapon? 2122 01:38:07,930 --> 01:38:08,720 Right here. 2123 01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:11,600 Oh, 2124 01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:13,150 and this is not 55 pounds. 2125 01:38:13,350 --> 01:38:14,400 It is five. 2126 01:38:14,590 --> 01:38:16,050 - [Chris] Five pounds? - Five pounds. 2127 01:38:16,250 --> 01:38:19,980 [Chris] So this is the thing that flips all those robots like 16 feet in the air? 2128 01:38:20,180 --> 01:38:21,190 [Jake] Absolutely, yes. 2129 01:38:21,390 --> 01:38:22,600 - [Kenny] What's it made out of? - [Jake] Uh, it's S7. 2130 01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:24,460 It's just a steel, that's all it is. 2131 01:38:24,660 --> 01:38:28,050 [Chris] Where did you come up with the idea of wanting to do a flipper? 2132 01:38:28,250 --> 01:38:31,430 Um, well, we wanted to hit the ceiling, that was the biggest thing. 2133 01:38:31,630 --> 01:38:34,710 I think we might have at one point this season. 2134 01:38:34,910 --> 01:38:37,670 So it was really great to be able to see a bot fly that high. 2135 01:38:37,870 --> 01:38:40,290 Of course, he just did it now, so it was like, 2136 01:38:40,490 --> 01:38:41,710 "Wow, okay, he did it." 2137 01:38:41,910 --> 01:38:42,880 But I did it with that little thing, right. 2138 01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:45,600 Not that big thing, this little guy here. 2139 01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:47,770 Were you watching his match back in the pits? 2140 01:38:47,970 --> 01:38:50,460 I did, yes, and it was very impressive. 2141 01:38:50,660 --> 01:38:54,020 And I don't want any part of that. 2142 01:38:54,220 --> 01:38:57,600 So you're telling me that he's on the other side of the bracket right now? 2143 01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:00,120 Yeah, yeah, I have to beat him in the finals, I guess. 2144 01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:01,370 - [Chris] Well... - Yeah, we'll see about that. 2145 01:39:02,820 --> 01:39:07,000 What made you wanna create something that could do this much damage? 2146 01:39:08,130 --> 01:39:11,120 I like building robots that are competitive. 2147 01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:12,770 And It think it was pretty obvious to me 2148 01:39:12,970 --> 01:39:16,330 that the best way to do that is build a robot that's highly maneuverable, 2149 01:39:16,530 --> 01:39:18,950 but also is the most energy dense. 2150 01:39:19,150 --> 01:39:23,670 So the whole idea of Riptide is how wide could we get the drum and how long. 2151 01:39:23,870 --> 01:39:27,500 Our weapon's diameter is actually less than most teams here, it's only 13 inches. 2152 01:39:27,700 --> 01:39:29,360 Most teams are running 14, 15, 16. 2153 01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:33,740 Our width gives us the ability to just always pretty much land hits. 2154 01:39:33,940 --> 01:39:39,360 And since our weapon is so small but still storing insane amount of mass, 2155 01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:43,500 we're still packing tons and tons and tons of energy like upper cut is packing 2156 01:39:43,700 --> 01:39:45,080 with a small package. 2157 01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:48,650 And we're able to do hits like that because we're maneuverable. 2158 01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:50,330 So that's what we wanted 2159 01:39:50,530 --> 01:39:51,530 and that's what we're getting. 2160 01:39:51,730 --> 01:39:53,910 Can I just get to the emotional side of this? 2161 01:39:54,110 --> 01:39:58,670 It's been a lot of talk about S7s and 55-pound weights and stuff. 2162 01:39:58,870 --> 01:40:02,150 You guys are one week away from maybe hoisting the Giant Nut. 2163 01:40:02,350 --> 01:40:04,340 Is there anything that scares you about Copperhead? 2164 01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:08,950 I think their reliability is quite scary. 2165 01:40:09,150 --> 01:40:14,220 Their low-ground plough things are a little nerve wracking. 2166 01:40:14,420 --> 01:40:17,360 But yeah, I think we just need to play our game and I think we'll be okay against them. 2167 01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:19,360 And with you, Ribbot? 2168 01:40:19,560 --> 01:40:22,370 Oh, I'll send the frog flying like I did last season, right? 2169 01:40:25,170 --> 01:40:27,600 No, it's gonna be a little tougher this year. 2170 01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:30,530 They got a bot that's pretty dialed in and... 2171 01:40:30,730 --> 01:40:32,950 I mean, I've been pretty dialed in this season, too. 2172 01:40:33,150 --> 01:40:34,670 So it's gonna be a good fight, I think. 2173 01:40:34,870 --> 01:40:37,500 - Did they use their horizontal spinner against you last year? - They did, yeah. 2174 01:40:37,700 --> 01:40:40,980 I think this season they might try the vertical, just to try something different. 2175 01:40:41,180 --> 01:40:44,020 But it's gonna end up hopefully the same. 2176 01:40:44,220 --> 01:40:47,150 Last season, you came in as the 31 seed. 2177 01:40:47,350 --> 01:40:48,840 They were the number two seed. 2178 01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,330 They were unbeaten, you took it to them. 2179 01:40:51,530 --> 01:40:53,840 You don't think that they've been sitting on this for a year? 2180 01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:56,770 They might've had some hard feelings after that fight, yeah. 2181 01:40:56,970 --> 01:40:57,910 I think so. 2182 01:40:58,110 --> 01:41:01,400 But I'm gonna hopefully stay in my number four seed 2183 01:41:01,590 --> 01:41:02,810 and keep it where it's supposed to be. 2184 01:41:03,010 --> 01:41:04,950 [Chris] Okay, it was great hanging out with you. 2185 01:41:05,150 --> 01:41:06,740 We really appreciate it as always. 2186 01:41:06,940 --> 01:41:10,500 We wish you the best of luck in your fight against Copperhead 2187 01:41:10,700 --> 01:41:12,530 and in yours against Ribbot. 2188 01:41:12,730 --> 01:41:14,000 You can take your weapons home 2189 01:41:14,890 --> 01:41:16,710 - and get your bot ready, man. - Okay. 2190 01:41:16,910 --> 01:41:19,430 - This will be really exciting. - Mine will be really harder to lug off the stage. 2191 01:41:19,630 --> 01:41:22,570 If you need help, we have somebody that can help. 2192 01:41:22,770 --> 01:41:24,000 Bob, come on out here. 2193 01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:29,200 [crowd chanting] Bob!
