[faruq] in the 25-year histo
of the sport,
2
00:00:03,904 --> 00:00:08,040
Excellence at battlebots
has been measured in hardwar

00:00:08,042 --> 00:00:09,942
The pride of the giant bolts

00:00:10,011 --> 00:00:12,511
[chris echoing]
what a destructive robot!
5
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:15,614
[faruq]
the glory of the desperado
and bounty hunter.
6
00:00:15,616 --> 00:00:17,516

they have run the gauntlet.

For those seeking
battlebots immortality,

[chris echoing]
world champion!
10
00:00:25,326 --> 00:00:29,228
[faruq] now a new quest
for greatness begins.
11
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:32,031
This is battlebots champi
12
00:00:32,033 --> 00:00:34,900
The race for the golden bolt

00:00:57,191 --> 00:01:01,760
[chris] hey, everyone,
and welcome back
to battlebots champions
16
00:01:01,829 --> 00:01:03,495
I am chris rose,
joined, as always,
17
00:01:03,531 --> 00:01:08,133
By everyone's favorite
ufc legend turned world class
robot combat analyst,
18
00:01:08,202 --> 00:01:11,103
The one and only
kenny florian.
19
00:01:11,105 --> 00:01:13,705
[crowd cheers]
20
00:01:13,707 --> 00:01:15,741
[kenny] thanks, chris.
It's so great to be here,
21
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:17,342
Surrounded by fans
of the sport,
22
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:20,312
At my favorite place
in the world, the battlebox.
23
00:01:20,314 --> 00:01:21,647
[calls] how ya doin', vegas?
24
00:01:21,715 --> 00:01:23,515
[loud cheers]
25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,554
This year, we're cranking it
up a notch here at battlebot
26
00:01:28,622 --> 00:01:30,155
With a brand new event
27
00:01:30,157 --> 00:01:33,959
That'll satisfy
even the most bloodthirsty fan
of mechanized carnage,
28
00:01:34,027 --> 00:01:37,763
The first-ever
sin city slugfest.
29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,902
It's an unbelievable new event
with five qualifying
tournaments,
30
00:01:43,904 --> 00:01:46,138
Boss bots around every corner,
31
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,709
And it all culminates
with the winner being awarded
the coveted new trophy,
32
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:52,510
The golden bolt.
33
00:01:57,718 --> 00:02:01,553
[chris] now, to get your han
on that beautiful new piece
of hardware,
34
00:02:01,589 --> 00:02:05,958
You must first gain entry
into the exclusive golden bo
tournament.
35
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,328
Already guaranteed to be the
are giant nut winners
36
00:02:09,330 --> 00:02:12,030
Tombstone, endgame,
37
00:02:12,032 --> 00:02:14,633
And 2021 champion, tantrum.
38
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:18,337
After last week's flurry
of fury, they're joined
by hypershock,
39
00:02:18,405 --> 00:02:22,508
Who won its
golden bolt qualifier
against gigabyte.
40
00:02:22,510 --> 00:02:25,310
With only four precious spot
remaining,
41
00:02:25,312 --> 00:02:28,714
Tonight's eight new teams
will try and run the gauntle
42
00:02:28,716 --> 00:02:31,617
In hopes of claiming
one of them.
43
00:02:31,619 --> 00:02:33,018
Standing in their way,
44
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:34,720
A formidable gatekeeper,
45
00:02:34,722 --> 00:02:37,456
Looking to grab the glory
for itself...
46
00:02:39,293 --> 00:02:41,960
Donald hudson and lock-jaw.
47
00:02:46,233 --> 00:02:50,302
[kenny] donald hutson is
one of the most influential
engineers in this sport.
48
00:02:50,304 --> 00:02:54,039
He and lock-jaw conquered
a similar beast
a few seasons ago
49
00:02:54,041 --> 00:02:55,741
In the bounty tournaments,
50
00:02:55,809 --> 00:02:59,311
Ultimately taking down
his bounty target, beta.
51
00:02:59,313 --> 00:03:01,813
But now it is lock-jaw
that represents
52
00:03:01,815 --> 00:03:05,951
The pot of gold at the end
of tonight's pain-bow.
53
00:03:07,688 --> 00:03:11,590
[chris] donald's impeccable
pedigree has earned him
the easiest path
54
00:03:11,592 --> 00:03:14,326
To the golden bolt tournamen
here tonight.
55
00:03:14,328 --> 00:03:16,929
But will lock-jaw be
a stubborn gatekeeper
56
00:03:16,931 --> 00:03:19,498
And clinch a spot
in the field of champions,
57
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,001
Or will it be one
of our fearless contenders?
58
00:03:25,506 --> 00:03:29,107
Let's check out
tonight's tournament bracket.
59
00:03:29,109 --> 00:03:34,313
We'll see bunny sauriol
and malice take on
the british brawler slammo!
60
00:03:35,649 --> 00:03:37,449
In a battle of new yorkers,
61
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:42,221
Pain train squares off
with adam wrigley's shatter!
62
00:03:42,223 --> 00:03:44,690
[kenny] and how about
this plus-size match up?
63
00:03:44,692 --> 00:03:47,159
Deep six faces huge
64
00:03:47,261 --> 00:03:50,963
In a fight that proves
size does matter.
65
00:03:51,031 --> 00:03:53,899
[chris] but up first,
rising superstar, ribbot,
66
00:03:53,901 --> 00:03:58,604
Still reeling from its
round of 32 upset, is
out for vengeance.
67
00:03:58,606 --> 00:04:01,240
Captain david jin has
a first round fight
68
00:04:01,308 --> 00:04:04,209
With the twin killers
from double jeopardy,
69
00:04:04,211 --> 00:04:07,713
Who's looking to add
another wart
to ribbot's resume.
70
00:04:09,049 --> 00:04:10,315
All right, let's get
this thing going.
71
00:04:10,317 --> 00:04:11,416
-Are you ready?
-I'm ready.
72
00:04:11,418 --> 00:04:15,721
-You guys ready?
-[crowd cheer]
73
00:04:15,723 --> 00:04:18,423
Faruq, take it away.
74
00:04:21,695 --> 00:04:25,797
Ladies and gentlemen,
are you ready?
75
00:04:25,799 --> 00:04:29,701
It's robot fighting time.
76
00:04:29,703 --> 00:04:31,503
[crowd cheering]
77
00:04:39,513 --> 00:04:41,313
In the red square,
78
00:04:41,315 --> 00:04:43,215
From irvine, california,
79
00:04:43,217 --> 00:04:46,218
The bot so nice,
it'll kill you twice.
80
00:04:46,220 --> 00:04:49,221
It's double jeopardy.
81
00:04:49,223 --> 00:04:51,256
[crowd cheering]
82
00:04:53,661 --> 00:04:56,361
[chris] oh, yes, they're al
dressed for success.
83
00:04:56,430 --> 00:04:57,896
Evan and bryce,
84
00:04:57,898 --> 00:05:00,599
With their pops dragging in
the heavy machinery.
85
00:05:00,601 --> 00:05:02,701
That's evan on the left,
that's bryce on the...
86
00:05:02,703 --> 00:05:04,303
Or it's bryce on the left,
and...
87
00:05:04,305 --> 00:05:06,004
Oh, hell,
you'll figure it out.
88
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:08,640
[kenny]
very professional-looking
team, here.
89
00:05:08,709 --> 00:05:11,943
Both are lawyers by day,
bot-builders by night.
90
00:05:12,045 --> 00:05:14,413
I haven't seen this bot
since 2019,
91
00:05:14,415 --> 00:05:16,815
And double jeopardy is
so unique.
92
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:23,021
It uses a cannon
that fires projectile slugs
at 220 miles per hour.
93
00:05:23,023 --> 00:05:24,722
It only has a few shots,
94
00:05:24,724 --> 00:05:28,226
But bryce and evan are hopin
it only needs one
to disable ribbot.
95
00:05:31,932 --> 00:05:33,699
[faruq] in the blue square,
96
00:05:33,701 --> 00:05:35,400
From worcester, massachusetts,
97
00:05:35,402 --> 00:05:39,004
Cry havoc, and let slip
the frogs of war.
98
00:05:39,006 --> 00:05:41,139
It's ribbot.
99
00:05:41,241 --> 00:05:44,810
[crowd cheering]
100
00:05:44,812 --> 00:05:47,713
[chris] aw, ribbot,
it's everybody's
friendly frog...
101
00:05:47,715 --> 00:05:51,717
Oh, look at this.
They're playing a little gam
of leapfrog on their way out
102
00:05:51,719 --> 00:05:54,953
Kenny, ribbot is undoubtedl
the favorite here tonight.
103
00:05:55,022 --> 00:05:57,856
What do they need to do
to take care of business?
104
00:05:57,958 --> 00:05:59,691
[kenny] well, ribbot needs
to be a moving target
105
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:02,027
To avoid direct shots
from those slugs,
106
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:05,664
And once double jeopardy
has expended its ammo,
107
00:06:05,733 --> 00:06:08,333
Look for ribbot to go
"full attack".
108
00:06:19,947 --> 00:06:21,313
Mike tyson once said,
109
00:06:21,315 --> 00:06:23,315
"everybody has a plan
until they get punched
in the mouth,"
110
00:06:23,317 --> 00:06:26,952
So we hope that everybody has
a plan as a corollary until
they get shot in the face.
111
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:29,121
So, no matter what ribbot
throws at us,
112
00:06:29,123 --> 00:06:30,422
We're ready for it.
113
00:06:30,424 --> 00:06:32,991
There's a nice big weak spot
on ribbot.
114
00:06:32,993 --> 00:06:35,961
On the side of their robot,
the drive is exposed.
115
00:06:35,963 --> 00:06:37,863
The chains and the sprockets
are right there.
116
00:06:37,964 --> 00:06:40,365
If we get a nice shot
on a broadside,
117
00:06:40,401 --> 00:06:41,800
We think we can disable
their drive
118
00:06:41,802 --> 00:06:43,335
And maybe even knock them out.
119
00:06:43,437 --> 00:06:44,770
Literally from the beginning
of the match,
120
00:06:44,772 --> 00:06:47,606
They can decide to take
a shot, right at the start.
121
00:06:47,608 --> 00:06:50,942
Um, also, as we're driving
around the box, at any point,
they might be able to hit us.
122
00:06:51,044 --> 00:06:54,312
That's definitely unique
just to double jeopardy.
No other bot can do that.
123
00:06:54,314 --> 00:06:56,915
We decided to put on our
horizontal spinner attachment.
124
00:06:56,917 --> 00:06:59,418
In this configuration,
you have the most
frontal armor.
125
00:06:59,420 --> 00:07:03,021
We figured, if there's ever
a time to put on
our front shields,
126
00:07:03,023 --> 00:07:04,623
Right now would be the time.
127
00:07:04,625 --> 00:07:07,325
We don't wanna just win it,
we wanna win it
in a confident fashion.
128
00:07:07,327 --> 00:07:09,060
We really wanna give ourselves
that confidence boost
129
00:07:09,129 --> 00:07:10,328
Going forward
into the bracket.

[loud cheering]
132
00:07:16,703 --> 00:07:18,170
[chris] well, it's been
a while
133
00:07:18,172 --> 00:07:20,772
Since we've seen
double jeopardy
inside the battlebox.
134
00:07:20,774 --> 00:07:24,009
They've made
some major improvements
to their cannon.
135
00:07:24,011 --> 00:07:26,445
[kenny] that's right.
It used to be a one-and-don
weapon,
136
00:07:26,447 --> 00:07:28,747
But now it fires
a five-pound slug
137
00:07:28,849 --> 00:07:32,150
And two 2.5-lb projectiles.
138
00:07:32,219 --> 00:07:36,154
They've also added
an onboard camera
for precision accuracy,
139
00:07:36,223 --> 00:07:40,025
Which they'll desperately ne
if they wanna dissect
this frog.
140
00:07:44,865 --> 00:07:46,965
[robot voice]
red team ready.
141
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:50,035
[crowd cheers intensify]
142
00:07:53,407 --> 00:07:55,140
Blue team ready.
143
00:07:55,843 --> 00:07:57,108
Hell, yeah.
144
00:07:57,110 --> 00:08:00,145
[loud cheering and applause]
145
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:12,624
[crowd chants] fight, fight,
fight, fight.
146
00:08:12,626 --> 00:08:14,459
[chris] all right.
You gotta win three matches
147
00:08:14,495 --> 00:08:16,661
To take down lock-jaw
at the end of the night,
148
00:08:16,763 --> 00:08:21,399
And only one bot will be
punching its ticket to
the golden bolt tournament.
149
00:08:21,401 --> 00:08:22,501
We're ready.
150
00:08:25,939 --> 00:08:28,306
Let the slugfest begin!
151
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:30,909
Double jeopardy moving
into position. Uh-oh!
152
00:08:30,911 --> 00:08:32,276
-[loud shot]
-oh!
153
00:08:33,347 --> 00:08:37,048
It's just blown the face
off the ribbot. My goodness
154
00:08:37,050 --> 00:08:40,519
It was 220 miles an hour
with a 5-lb slug,
155
00:08:40,521 --> 00:08:41,852
And now ribbot says,
156
00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:45,257
"all right, you gave me
your best shot. Take mine."
157
00:08:45,325 --> 00:08:49,861
[kenny] wow. The body
of the frog still very much
alive, though, chris,
158
00:08:49,963 --> 00:08:51,596
And it looks angry.
159
00:08:51,598 --> 00:08:53,765
Remember, double jeopardy
does still have
160
00:08:53,833 --> 00:08:56,635
Those secondary slugs left
in the chamber.
161
00:08:56,703 --> 00:08:57,869
[chris] oh!
162
00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:01,206
[kenny] ribbot just destroye
double jeopardy.
163
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:04,543
[chris] oh, my gosh.
Let's see if it's able to fi
another slug,
164
00:09:04,611 --> 00:09:07,412
This time a 2 lb-ball bearin
at ribbot.
165
00:09:07,414 --> 00:09:09,314
-[loud bang]
-whoa!
166
00:09:09,316 --> 00:09:12,751
Ribbot not letting
double jeopardy get
in the right position.
167
00:09:12,819 --> 00:09:15,420
[kenny] no, they took
that first slug personally.
168
00:09:15,422 --> 00:09:16,755
[chris] sure did,
169
00:09:16,757 --> 00:09:19,724
And now double jeopardy
frozen solid on the railing
170
00:09:19,726 --> 00:09:21,560
Underneath the drivers' deck
171
00:09:21,628 --> 00:09:23,128
Here's some signs of life.
172
00:09:23,130 --> 00:09:25,730
Can the twins find a way
to fire another shot?
173
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:26,965
That's the big question.
174
00:09:27,701 --> 00:09:29,034
Oh, boy.
175
00:09:29,102 --> 00:09:30,702
[kenny] oh, their guts
are coming out.
176
00:09:30,704 --> 00:09:32,203
-[chris] why's ribbot...
-[loud bang]
177
00:09:32,205 --> 00:09:33,805
[chris and kenny] oh!
178
00:09:33,807 --> 00:09:34,973
[referee] ten,
179
00:09:34,975 --> 00:09:36,707
-Nine...
-[kenny] the ref has seen
enough.
180
00:09:36,777 --> 00:09:40,812
-...Seven...
-[chris] does david jin wann
keep playing with his food?
181
00:09:40,814 --> 00:09:42,948
-...Three, two...
-Ribbot's like, "nah,
182
00:09:42,950 --> 00:09:45,317
-I ain't getting
in front of that thing."
-[electronic buzzer]
183
00:09:45,319 --> 00:09:47,152
[chris] it's over.
184
00:09:47,253 --> 00:09:48,753
[crowd roar intensifies]
185
00:09:52,859 --> 00:09:53,925
[chris] wow.
186
00:09:54,861 --> 00:09:56,261
[kenny]
that was awesome.
187
00:09:59,466 --> 00:10:02,200
[chris] all right,
so here we go,
the big shot.
188
00:10:02,202 --> 00:10:04,536
Lining it up. Oh!
Oh, gosh, ribbot's...
189
00:10:04,605 --> 00:10:07,105
-[kenny] what a shot!
-[chris chuckling]
190
00:10:07,107 --> 00:10:08,940
[kenny] bye, face!
191
00:10:08,942 --> 00:10:11,743
[chris] that slug traveled
at 250 miles per hour.
192
00:10:11,812 --> 00:10:14,512
Our cameras could barely
capture the thing.
193
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:18,049
-[kenny laughing]
-[chris and kenny] whoa!
194
00:10:18,051 --> 00:10:20,619
[kenny] wow. It just melted
the face off of ribbot.
195
00:10:20,621 --> 00:10:22,120
Just gone.
196
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:25,624
[chris] so ribbot said,
"okay, you took your shot.
197
00:10:25,626 --> 00:10:27,225
Can you take mine?"
198
00:10:27,227 --> 00:10:29,160
[kenny] yeah, the frog was
not happy.
199
00:10:29,262 --> 00:10:32,430
Started cutting
double jeopardy to pieces,
200
00:10:32,432 --> 00:10:33,898
Parts flying everywhere.
201
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:37,636
Never gave them the chance
to fire those extra slugs.
202
00:10:37,704 --> 00:10:40,505
[chris]
oh, that is just brutal,
203
00:10:40,507 --> 00:10:41,706
And at the end of the day,
204
00:10:41,708 --> 00:10:44,909
There's the hit that did in
double jeopardy,
205
00:10:44,911 --> 00:10:48,113
But hey, why not take
one more look at the shot?
206
00:10:48,649 --> 00:10:51,316
[both laughing]
207
00:10:51,318 --> 00:10:53,218
[chris] I can watch that
over and over again.
208
00:10:58,291 --> 00:10:59,857
[chris] david.
209
00:10:59,859 --> 00:11:04,129
-Hello.
-Did you know your frog could
take a 5-lb slug to the head
210
00:11:04,131 --> 00:11:05,864
At 220 miles an hour?
211
00:11:05,965 --> 00:11:07,198
Well, we know our robot can.
212
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,302
The frog didn't exactly last.
It got cleaned off right away.
213
00:11:11,304 --> 00:11:14,205
-I gotta see that shot
in slow motion now, though.
-[kenny laughs]
214
00:11:14,207 --> 00:11:16,141
So, the goal isn't to win
one fight,
215
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:19,678
It's to win three and then get
a shot here at lock-jaw
216
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,412
At the end of the evening.
217
00:11:21,414 --> 00:11:25,250
How confident are you in
the durability of your robot
to be able to do that?
218
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:27,452
I think we're all
really confident
in the durability.
219
00:11:27,521 --> 00:11:30,422
We just gotta make sure
we do our job,
prepare for each match
220
00:11:30,424 --> 00:11:32,223
And then keep getting kos.
221
00:11:32,225 --> 00:11:33,758
Sounds good. Thanks, david.
222
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:36,528
-[cheers and applause]
-yeah!
223
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:46,404
[chris] so, despite
some unsolicited
facial surgery,
224
00:11:46,406 --> 00:11:48,540
Ribbot is moving on
in the tournament.
225
00:11:48,608 --> 00:11:52,444
For now, they'll hurry back
to the pits to repair
and reconfigure
226
00:11:52,512 --> 00:11:55,113
For their second-round matc
up later this evening.
227
00:11:55,115 --> 00:11:56,915
[kenny]
and for double jeopardy,
228
00:11:56,917 --> 00:12:01,619
Although they've got
an incredibly tough draw,
this early exit stinks.
229
00:12:01,621 --> 00:12:05,323
We love their
one-of-a-kind design,
but this match was proof
230
00:12:05,325 --> 00:12:10,862
They've gotta up their game
to move up
in the robot hierarchy.
231
00:12:10,964 --> 00:12:14,332
[chris] we've got three mor
first-round fights on the way,
232
00:12:14,434 --> 00:12:16,935
And remember,
it's gonna take four wins
233
00:12:17,003 --> 00:12:18,937
For these contenders
to sweep this bracket
234
00:12:19,005 --> 00:12:21,940
And earn a spot
in the field of champions.
235
00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:25,510
And manning the gate tonight
it's donald hutson
and lock-jaw,
236
00:12:25,512 --> 00:12:29,380
Who's all too happy
to steal the glory
for himself.
237
00:12:29,382 --> 00:12:32,217
All right, coming up,
will craig danby's
grappler bot
238
00:12:32,219 --> 00:12:34,352
Delivering
a greco-roman beatdown,
239
00:12:34,454 --> 00:12:37,756
Or will bunny sauriol
turn it into a rabbit food?
240
00:12:37,758 --> 00:12:39,824
It's slammo versus malice.
241
00:12:39,826 --> 00:12:45,730
That's next
on battlebots champions
sin city slugfest. I get it.
242
00:12:54,441 --> 00:12:58,176
[chris] welcome back
battlebots champions
sin city slugfest
243
00:12:58,178 --> 00:13:01,045
Where hopeful contenders
are battling it out
244
00:13:01,147 --> 00:13:04,816
To earn entry
into the exclusive
golden bolt tournament.
245
00:13:04,818 --> 00:13:07,418
Whoever conquers
tonight's qualifying bracket
246
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:12,157
Must also take down
the gatekeeper, lock-jaw,
to punch their ticket.
247
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:16,327
All right, this is
a big-time bout
we've got coming your way.
248
00:13:16,329 --> 00:13:18,563
It's malice and slammo.
Let's start with malice.
249
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:22,033
Bunny sauriol leads this squ
and, kenny,
250
00:13:22,135 --> 00:13:24,702
Malice is coming off
a disappointing
sophomore season
251
00:13:24,704 --> 00:13:27,405
That saw them
take a big step backwards.
252
00:13:27,407 --> 00:13:29,340
They need a strong showing
in this tournament
253
00:13:29,409 --> 00:13:32,210
To prove that they can hang
with the top bots
in this sport.
254
00:13:32,212 --> 00:13:36,714
[kenny] yeah, absolutely.
Malice is an intimidating
horizontal disc spinner
255
00:13:36,716 --> 00:13:41,553
With a lot of potential,
but they've been plagued
with inconsistency
256
00:13:41,621 --> 00:13:43,154
And mechanical issues.
257
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:45,723
With the possibility
of fighting
four times tonight,
258
00:13:45,725 --> 00:13:50,261
They have an opportunity
to put those failures
in the rear-view mirror.
259
00:13:51,665 --> 00:13:55,400
In the meantime, craig danby
is back with slammo,
260
00:13:55,402 --> 00:13:57,936
And it had been
a frustrating ride
for several seasons
261
00:13:58,037 --> 00:13:59,504
For craig danby.
262
00:13:59,506 --> 00:14:03,007
A year ago,
he felt like he had
a big-time breakthrough.
263
00:14:03,009 --> 00:14:04,675
[kenny] yeah,
he loves this bot.
264
00:14:04,711 --> 00:14:08,346
And when slammo
can execute its game plan
by getting in lifts
265
00:14:08,448 --> 00:14:10,415
And keeping
its opponents neutralized,
266
00:14:10,417 --> 00:14:13,251
It can really dominate
the control category.
267
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:17,121
But wins have been
elusive for this squad,
and an early exit here
268
00:14:17,123 --> 00:14:21,125
Could be the death nail
for this grappler bot.
269
00:14:22,796 --> 00:14:26,431
-Slammo against malice. Faruq!
-[cheering and applause]
270
00:14:29,736 --> 00:14:35,240
In the red square,
from raleigh, north carolina,
his name's an onomatopoeia,
271
00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:40,411
And he's the automaton
to beat ya', it's slammo!
272
00:14:45,151 --> 00:14:46,951
[chris in cockney accent]
'ello, guvnor!
273
00:14:47,020 --> 00:14:50,855
Craig danby rocking
the union jack to represent
his native England.
274
00:14:50,924 --> 00:14:54,125
Kenny, what are you
looking for from slammo?
275
00:14:54,127 --> 00:14:58,229
[kenny] well, you can see
slammo has that
psychedelic wedge up front.
276
00:14:58,231 --> 00:15:01,733
Craig wants to use that
to jam up malice's weapon.
277
00:15:01,834 --> 00:15:05,436
From there,
it's all about his
favorite manoeuvre the suplex.
278
00:15:05,538 --> 00:15:09,407
A few of those, and slammo
can run away with this match
279
00:15:17,317 --> 00:15:21,552
In the blue square,
from san jose, california,
280
00:15:21,621 --> 00:15:26,424
Forget about wonderland,
this bot's gonna take you
to thunderland.
281
00:15:26,426 --> 00:15:29,327
-It's malice!
-[cheering and applause]
282
00:15:33,033 --> 00:15:35,500
[chris] here comes bunny
leading her squad out.
283
00:15:35,502 --> 00:15:38,303
She is a highly respected
captain in this sport,
284
00:15:38,305 --> 00:15:43,041
And as monty python said,
"that rabbit is dynamite."
285
00:15:43,043 --> 00:15:47,912
[kenny] yeah, let me tell yo
those bunny ears are cute,
but that weapon is not!
286
00:15:47,914 --> 00:15:53,518
It's made of three-inch-thic
ar500 steel, and it hoicks!
287
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,721
If they can keep it spinning
which we know is a big if,
288
00:15:56,723 --> 00:16:01,326
The battlebox
could look like a scrapyard
by the end of this match.
289
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:09,634
Malice has got one of those
big horizontal weapons
290
00:16:09,736 --> 00:16:12,403
That we don't really like,
being a control bot.
291
00:16:12,405 --> 00:16:15,606
I mean, we're armored for it,
but, uh, the team behind it
292
00:16:15,608 --> 00:16:17,742
Is probably scarier
than the robot itself.
293
00:16:17,811 --> 00:16:21,713
The golden bolt
definitely signifies that
you know what you're doing.
294
00:16:21,715 --> 00:16:23,748
You can get things
turned around really quickly,
295
00:16:23,817 --> 00:16:27,051
That you can accomplish a goal
in a very short
amount of time.
296
00:16:27,053 --> 00:16:29,721
Slammo and malice
are a little bit
of a different class of robot.
297
00:16:29,723 --> 00:16:32,824
Slammo is very much
about control
298
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:35,560
And malice
is about smashing things.
299
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:38,529
There's gonna be
nothing left of slammo
when malice is done with it.
300
00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:41,632
Ready. Yeah, new paddle, red.
301
00:16:43,737 --> 00:16:45,603
[robot voice] robots activat
302
00:16:49,209 --> 00:16:50,475
[chris] for more
on this fight,
303
00:16:50,477 --> 00:16:53,311
Let's head over to the man
with the bionic brain,
304
00:16:53,313 --> 00:16:57,615
Former battlebots competi
and our bot whisperer
peter abrahamson.
305
00:16:57,617 --> 00:16:59,317
Pete, what have you got
on this one?
306
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:02,153
So, if you notice
that big giant wedge,
307
00:17:02,222 --> 00:17:05,223
One of the things
they call that,
is that's the bunny boiler.
308
00:17:05,225 --> 00:17:09,560
They are going to be
running this as fast
as they can across this box
309
00:17:09,662 --> 00:17:11,462
One of the things
that's changed, also,
310
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:13,598
Is they've gone to a larger
diameter rear wheel
311
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,000
Which should give them
higher acceleration
312
00:17:16,002 --> 00:17:17,402
And faster speed
across the box.
313
00:17:17,404 --> 00:17:20,505
The bunny boiler!
You've just sent
michael douglas
314
00:17:20,507 --> 00:17:22,340
Scurrying under the bed.
315
00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:36,721
[audience chanting] fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
316
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:50,301
[chris]
let the bot battle begin!
317
00:17:50,303 --> 00:17:54,405
[kenny] see those grappling
arms in the up position
ready to bite down on malice
318
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,207
Nice hit there by slammo.
319
00:17:56,209 --> 00:17:57,809
[chris] malice is inverted
right now,
320
00:17:57,811 --> 00:18:00,378
It can drive that way,
it's just not as effective.
321
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:03,681
[kenny] that's right. Though
slammo does have to be caref
322
00:18:03,683 --> 00:18:07,618
To not let malice
clip its grappling arms
in this position, chris.
323
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:13,424
[chris] uh-oh, and now malic
is right-side up. Oh!
Taken right into the rails!
324
00:18:13,426 --> 00:18:16,961
[kenny] beautiful hit there
almost got a hold of malice
as well.
325
00:18:17,063 --> 00:18:19,931
[chris] uh-oh, but slammo's
slow to reset here.
326
00:18:19,933 --> 00:18:21,565
[all exclaim]
327
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:23,601
-[chris] okay,
there goes...
-[kenny] there goes the whee
328
00:18:23,603 --> 00:18:26,204
[chris] it sliced it right o
like the top of a carrot.
329
00:18:26,206 --> 00:18:29,040
And now craig danby
just driving in circles.
330
00:18:30,510 --> 00:18:32,410
-[mechanical clash]
-[both exclaim]
331
00:18:32,412 --> 00:18:36,013
-[chris] and now malice
is on the cuff!
-[kenny] oh, my goodness!
332
00:18:36,015 --> 00:18:37,782
[chris] finds his feet!
333
00:18:37,784 --> 00:18:41,619
[kenny] you see that
triangular piece of metal
on the back of the bot?
334
00:18:41,621 --> 00:18:45,123
Bunny added that to prevent
exactly that scenario.
335
00:18:45,125 --> 00:18:47,358
Malice lost a fight
two seasons ago
336
00:18:47,427 --> 00:18:51,329
Getting tipped on its back
like that.
Nice adjustment there.
337
00:18:51,331 --> 00:18:55,900
[chris] and look at
that weapon now taking bite
out of the wedge of slammo.
338
00:18:55,902 --> 00:18:59,804
[kenny] oh, boy,
he's got one other tire.
339
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:01,305
And he's got--
340
00:19:01,307 --> 00:19:03,040
-[kenny] oh!
-[chris] good shot there,
341
00:19:03,042 --> 00:19:06,377
And the pulverizer
nearly derailed slammo.
342
00:19:06,379 --> 00:19:08,613
[kenny] craig danby
doing an excellent job
343
00:19:08,615 --> 00:19:13,050
Of keeping malice off balanc
with its wedge.
Even on just one wheel, chris.
344
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:15,820
[chris] and it looks like
malice may now be
having some trouble
345
00:19:15,822 --> 00:19:20,324
-In the drive department.
It is not moving well at all
-[kenny] oh!
346
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:23,728
Yeah, they sure are,
they're kinda going round
in circles there.
347
00:19:23,730 --> 00:19:25,830
Malice gets some
good hits there.
348
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:30,801
[chris] not the first time
we've seen wobbly partners
on this side of las vegas.
349
00:19:30,803 --> 00:19:34,238
Under 90 seconds
remaining here
in the opening round match up.
350
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:36,741
Remember, all these teams
are fighting for a spot
351
00:19:36,809 --> 00:19:39,043
In the elite
golden bolt tournament.
352
00:19:39,111 --> 00:19:42,747
Both slammo and malice,
they've been aggressive
from the opening bell.
353
00:19:42,782 --> 00:19:45,316
But which one
of these wounded warriors
354
00:19:45,318 --> 00:19:49,520
Can make the push here
in the closing stretch?
That's the big question.
355
00:19:49,522 --> 00:19:52,423
[kenny] how about slammo
taking malice for a ride!
356
00:19:52,959 --> 00:19:54,258
[chris] okay!
357
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:56,961
[kenny] and now malice,
chewing up that wedge!
358
00:19:57,063 --> 00:20:00,097
[chris] slammo looking
a little worse for wear here
kenny.
359
00:20:00,099 --> 00:20:02,900
[kenny] that's not how
they want to run their wedge
it spins around...
360
00:20:02,902 --> 00:20:06,938
-[chris] whoa!
-...Completely. Oh, no!
361
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,940
[chris] malice rips wheel
number two off of slammo
362
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:11,676
And that's gonna be a major
major problem.
363
00:20:11,678 --> 00:20:14,812
-Ten! Nine! Eight!
-[chris] yep,
the countdown has started.
364
00:20:14,814 --> 00:20:17,048
Craig danby
given a standing ovation
365
00:20:17,116 --> 00:20:21,719
And a thumbs up
to his opponent
who is now moving on.
366
00:20:21,721 --> 00:20:22,820
[buzzer sounds]
367
00:20:23,623 --> 00:20:24,722
Well played.
368
00:20:25,925 --> 00:20:27,858
Thank you.
369
00:20:33,533 --> 00:20:35,700
[chris] great action
in this fight, huh, kenny?
370
00:20:35,702 --> 00:20:37,501
[kenny] yeah, this was
an awesome fight.
371
00:20:37,503 --> 00:20:41,839
Slammo had his opportunity
there to get a hold of malic
from behind.
372
00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:43,507
The wedge was working well.
373
00:20:43,509 --> 00:20:46,244
It seemed like that lifter
was having some issues,
though.
374
00:20:46,312 --> 00:20:49,280
They're big-time
exposed there...
That's the wheel!
375
00:20:49,282 --> 00:20:51,716
If that wedge was down
that would not have happened
376
00:20:51,718 --> 00:20:54,218
So a little bit
of a mechanical issue
377
00:20:54,220 --> 00:20:55,853
With that wedge
getting caught up.
378
00:20:55,922 --> 00:20:57,521
[chris] very impressive
that slammo
379
00:20:57,523 --> 00:21:00,458
Was even able to make it
as far as it did on one wheel!
380
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:04,795
[kenny] yeah, it's amazing.
Again, he's carrying around
a 250lb robot on one wheel,
381
00:21:04,797 --> 00:21:07,298
Moving it around
the battlebox.
That's still impressive.
382
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:11,035
But again, you see that lift
getting caught in
the up position up once agai
383
00:21:11,037 --> 00:21:14,405
And that's really where mali
was able to take
full advantage of him.
384
00:21:14,407 --> 00:21:16,240
[chris] and there's
the final hit,
385
00:21:16,342 --> 00:21:20,211
And at that point,
slammo finito!
386
00:21:23,049 --> 00:21:24,615
[chris] hey, bunny!
387
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:28,619
-Hey, how's it going?
-So, what did you do best
out there today?
388
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:32,523
We kept spinning,
so now we're a force
to be reckoned with.
389
00:21:32,525 --> 00:21:35,626
-It's very exciting.
The team is great.
-[crowd cheering]
390
00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:37,128
It seems like there was
a big momentum shift
391
00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:38,963
Once you took out
one of their wheels.
392
00:21:38,965 --> 00:21:40,298
Was that a part
of the game plan?
393
00:21:40,300 --> 00:21:42,400
That was absolutely
a part of the game plan.
394
00:21:42,402 --> 00:21:45,703
I told them that they'd be
picking up the clippings
of their robots,
395
00:21:45,705 --> 00:21:51,442
Um, and they did.
But we're all friends,
so it's all good.
396
00:21:51,544 --> 00:21:53,811
Are you durable enough
to make a run all the way
to lock-jaw?
397
00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:57,815
-Absolutely.
-Congratulations on
taking that first step.
398
00:21:57,817 --> 00:22:00,518
[cheering and applause]
399
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,252
Cheers.
400
00:22:05,958 --> 00:22:10,027
[chris] so malice moves on
and will fight ribbot
in the second round.
401
00:22:10,029 --> 00:22:13,030
That is gonna be
a brutal undertaking
for this squad,
402
00:22:13,032 --> 00:22:17,101
But also, hey,
its best opportunity
to put this sport on notice
403
00:22:18,404 --> 00:22:21,539
Coming up,
it is the battle
for the big apple
404
00:22:21,607 --> 00:22:25,943
As staten island's pain trai
tries to get on track
against brooklyn's shatter!
405
00:22:26,012 --> 00:22:31,048
And it's next
on battlebots champions
sin city slugfest.
406
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:44,328
We continue on here,
on the sin city slugfest.
407
00:22:44,330 --> 00:22:50,534
And there it is,
in all its tantalizing glory
the golden bolt.
408
00:22:50,603 --> 00:22:55,339
Tonight's competitors
are fighting for a chance
to take out lock-jaw
409
00:22:55,375 --> 00:23:00,411
And gain entry into
the golden bolt tournament
where, in a matter of weeks
410
00:23:00,413 --> 00:23:05,950
One champion of champions
will hoist this coveted
new trophy.
411
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:08,052
Up next, it's pain train
taking on shatter!,
412
00:23:08,187 --> 00:23:11,255
And this is really
a new york area battle,
413
00:23:11,323 --> 00:23:14,225
Both captains
hailing from the empire stat
414
00:23:14,227 --> 00:23:18,929
Adam wrigley and team
shatter!, they wanna use
their vicious hammer
415
00:23:18,931 --> 00:23:21,599
And flatten pain train
like a brooklyn-style pizza
416
00:23:21,601 --> 00:23:24,301
And for evan arias
and pain train,
417
00:23:24,303 --> 00:23:26,937
After two seasons of struggl
418
00:23:27,006 --> 00:23:30,808
It's put up or shut up time
for this staten island squad
419
00:23:30,810 --> 00:23:33,511
Can pain train
drum up a win?
420
00:23:35,348 --> 00:23:38,048
Let's find out. Faruq!
421
00:23:38,117 --> 00:23:39,350
[crowd cheering]
422
00:23:42,522 --> 00:23:46,657
In the red square,
from staten island, new york,
423
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:50,961
A bot almost as dangerous
as an actual new york subway,
424
00:23:51,030 --> 00:23:54,932
-It's pain train!
-[crowd cheering]
425
00:23:59,605 --> 00:24:01,105
[chris] there's evan arias
on the right
426
00:24:01,107 --> 00:24:03,607
Rocking the shades indoors.
427
00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:06,410
You know, even though
it hasn't had success yet
428
00:24:06,412 --> 00:24:09,814
Pain train's
got a very intimidating
looking weapon, kenny.
429
00:24:09,816 --> 00:24:10,948
[kenny] yeah,
that drum spinner
430
00:24:11,050 --> 00:24:13,551
Can reach up to
250 miles-an-hour
431
00:24:13,619 --> 00:24:15,753
And it has some serious bite
432
00:24:15,855 --> 00:24:18,422
If pain train can avoid
shatter!'s hammer
433
00:24:18,424 --> 00:24:21,792
And chip away at its sides
we could see an upset here.
434
00:24:26,933 --> 00:24:27,965
[crowd cheering]
435
00:24:29,602 --> 00:24:32,937
In the blue square,
from brooklyn, new york,
436
00:24:33,038 --> 00:24:34,238
Take a look in the mirror
437
00:24:34,307 --> 00:24:36,807
'cause you've got
something in your teeth.
438
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:40,744
It's his blade! It's shatter!
439
00:24:45,051 --> 00:24:47,418
[chris] adam wrigley
and shatter! Had an early ex
440
00:24:47,420 --> 00:24:49,820
In the world championship
tournament last season.
441
00:24:49,822 --> 00:24:52,957
This squad would love a sho
at the golden bolt.
442
00:24:53,025 --> 00:24:54,491
[adam] let's go!
443
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:56,527
[kenny] that's right
and they're hoping
for a quick fight.
444
00:24:56,529 --> 00:24:58,095
They're using a wedge
that's set up
445
00:24:58,097 --> 00:25:00,698
To get pain train
to ride up on top of them.
446
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:01,999
[together] shatter! Shatter!
Shatter!
447
00:25:02,001 --> 00:25:03,133
[kenny] from there,
it's all about
448
00:25:03,235 --> 00:25:04,201
Putting that hammer to work
449
00:25:12,445 --> 00:25:14,044
[crowd cheering]
450
00:25:16,115 --> 00:25:19,216
For this fight we've got
the robot completely ready
from head to toe.
451
00:25:19,218 --> 00:25:20,818
We got the weapon
spinning fast enough
452
00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:22,820
To introduce them
to the ceiling
453
00:25:22,822 --> 00:25:24,154
And, you know,
I'm gonna show them
454
00:25:24,223 --> 00:25:25,923
A little bit of the wall,
too, today.
455
00:25:25,925 --> 00:25:27,558
So, we just added
some new wheels
456
00:25:27,660 --> 00:25:28,926
That will give us
a lot more traction
457
00:25:28,928 --> 00:25:30,895
So I'm not going to be
drifting any more
458
00:25:30,897 --> 00:25:32,530
And I really wanna go
head-to-head with them
459
00:25:32,532 --> 00:25:34,298
And knock a nice piece
of their bot off.
460
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:35,799
This year, shatter!
Is gonna have
461
00:25:35,801 --> 00:25:38,335
A grand tour of the box
and then maybe vegas
when we send them packing.
462
00:25:38,437 --> 00:25:41,038
Yeah, we got brooklyn
versus staten island,
463
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,306
Which borough is better,
464
00:25:42,308 --> 00:25:44,141
A lot of pressure
riding on this one,
465
00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:45,442
So there's always a risk
466
00:25:45,544 --> 00:25:46,911
When you fight against
a vertical spinner
467
00:25:46,913 --> 00:25:48,245
That they can get
the right hit,
468
00:25:48,347 --> 00:25:51,115
They can pop you the right way
and that can turn a fight.
469
00:25:51,117 --> 00:25:52,716
You know, everyone has
vulnerabilities
470
00:25:52,718 --> 00:25:53,817
And vertical spinners
471
00:25:53,819 --> 00:25:55,553
Are great at taking advantage
of them.
472
00:25:55,654 --> 00:25:58,122
We hope to not let them
get that chance. [chuckles]
473
00:25:58,124 --> 00:26:00,057
We've been tweaking
the drive settings,
474
00:26:00,059 --> 00:26:01,559
Tweaking the hammer settings.
475
00:26:01,660 --> 00:26:03,227
Everything is looking
100% right now.
476
00:26:11,604 --> 00:26:13,237
[robot voice] robots activat
477
00:26:17,710 --> 00:26:20,711
[chris] kenny, both teams
wanna be the bot king
of new york
478
00:26:20,713 --> 00:26:22,012
But priority number one
479
00:26:22,014 --> 00:26:23,881
Is taking home
the golden bolt.
480
00:26:23,883 --> 00:26:26,817
[kenny] well, shatter!
Is the clear favorite here
481
00:26:26,819 --> 00:26:28,852
But they need to
take care of business.
482
00:26:28,854 --> 00:26:33,257
With the 2022
world championship
right around the corner
483
00:26:33,326 --> 00:26:35,826
This is a major opportunity
for shatter!
484
00:26:35,828 --> 00:26:37,828
To leave their mark
on the sport.
485
00:26:47,707 --> 00:26:50,341
[crowd chanting] fight!
Fight! Fight!
486
00:26:58,250 --> 00:27:00,117
[chris] let the bot battle
begin!
487
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,752
Here comes pain train
on the attack!
488
00:27:01,854 --> 00:27:03,621
Adam wrigley and shatter!
Backs up--
489
00:27:03,623 --> 00:27:04,722
[chris and kenny] oh!
490
00:27:04,724 --> 00:27:06,023
[chris] nice shot
by pain train,
491
00:27:06,025 --> 00:27:07,891
Stripping away
that ablative armor.
492
00:27:07,893 --> 00:27:09,225
[kenny] there you go.
493
00:27:09,227 --> 00:27:11,462
[chris] that's meant to
absorb damage and fall off,
494
00:27:11,530 --> 00:27:13,564
Hence the name shatter!
495
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:15,699
[kenny] pain train getting o
to a good start here, chris
496
00:27:15,701 --> 00:27:17,000
[chris] really nice.
497
00:27:17,002 --> 00:27:19,837
There's a shot, though,
by that weapon so sharp.
498
00:27:19,905 --> 00:27:21,639
[kenny] pain train
able to remove
499
00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:23,741
One of those front wedgelet
on shatter!
500
00:27:23,809 --> 00:27:25,442
In those exchanges, chris.
501
00:27:25,511 --> 00:27:28,712
That's gonna be a plus
on the damage category.
502
00:27:28,714 --> 00:27:32,316
[chris] this is as good
as we've seen pain train
look offensively, kenny.
503
00:27:32,318 --> 00:27:34,718
Oh, no. Did we speak too soo
504
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,720
Pain train is looking
a little lost out there
505
00:27:36,722 --> 00:27:38,656
And here comes shatter!
506
00:27:38,724 --> 00:27:40,591
[kenny] uh-oh!
507
00:27:40,593 --> 00:27:44,328
[chris] shatter! Able to lan
a couple of big time shots
to the top of pain train.
508
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:46,196
[kenny] and it looks like
after that fast start
509
00:27:46,198 --> 00:27:47,564
The durability issues
510
00:27:47,566 --> 00:27:50,934
Have reared their head agai
for pain train, chris.
511
00:27:51,003 --> 00:27:53,303
Its weapon no longer
appears to be working.
512
00:27:53,305 --> 00:27:57,541
[chris] shatter! Meanwhile
continues to swing away
with that deadly hammer.
513
00:27:57,643 --> 00:28:02,212
Pain train's gotta scurry
out of the line of fire
and reset here.
514
00:28:02,214 --> 00:28:04,048
Yeah, that weapon
just hasn't been working
515
00:28:04,050 --> 00:28:05,649
Since the first 30 seconds
516
00:28:05,685 --> 00:28:08,719
And adam wrigley and shatter
trying to take advantage.
517
00:28:08,721 --> 00:28:11,522
[kenny] and they can just
place that thing anywhere,
too, chris.
518
00:28:11,524 --> 00:28:13,257
[chris] well,
there's no fear factor.
519
00:28:13,325 --> 00:28:14,525
There's not the fear
of getting hit
520
00:28:14,527 --> 00:28:16,827
By a 75-lb drum.
521
00:28:16,829 --> 00:28:18,395
[kenny] no doubt
it's open season
522
00:28:18,397 --> 00:28:20,731
For adam wrigley
and team shatter! Now.
523
00:28:20,733 --> 00:28:22,299
Let's see if they can
finish the job
524
00:28:22,301 --> 00:28:24,334
And score the knockout.
525
00:28:24,403 --> 00:28:27,938
[chris] yeah.
Get in, get the win,
get back to the pits healthy
526
00:28:27,940 --> 00:28:30,908
That is the name of the gam
tonight.
527
00:28:30,910 --> 00:28:33,544
[kenny] oh! Massive hit ther
to the weapon.
528
00:28:33,612 --> 00:28:35,579
[chris] oh, gosh!
529
00:28:35,581 --> 00:28:36,714
[kenny] uh-oh!
530
00:28:36,716 --> 00:28:37,948
[chris] more than
half way through
531
00:28:37,950 --> 00:28:40,517
And that one caused sparks.
532
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:41,819
[kenny] these are big shots
533
00:28:41,821 --> 00:28:43,220
[chris] I have a feeling
adam wrigley
534
00:28:43,222 --> 00:28:45,422
Might be aiming for the whee
at some point, too.
535
00:28:45,424 --> 00:28:46,824
[kenny] that would be smart
536
00:28:46,826 --> 00:28:50,728
That top armor on pain trai
has proven durable so far.
537
00:28:50,730 --> 00:28:52,529
[chris] great shots there.
538
00:28:52,531 --> 00:28:54,765
Pain train relegated
to push bot duty
539
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,101
Since its drum
is no longer functioning.
540
00:28:57,103 --> 00:28:59,103
I will give pain train
some credit
541
00:28:59,105 --> 00:29:02,306
With now a minute to go
and the kill saw active.
542
00:29:02,308 --> 00:29:03,707
At least it's still
hanging around,
543
00:29:03,709 --> 00:29:05,475
But it's in a real bad spot
544
00:29:05,477 --> 00:29:08,278
-[kenny] yeah, shatter! Doin
some serious damage here.
-[chris] woo!
545
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,948
[kenny] attacking from above
oh, now the hammer...
546
00:29:11,049 --> 00:29:12,449
The pulverizer's
getting involved.
547
00:29:12,518 --> 00:29:13,951
[chris] it's got the sharp,
pointy one
548
00:29:13,953 --> 00:29:16,053
And then
the 100-lb pulverizer.
549
00:29:16,055 --> 00:29:17,654
[kenny] one hammer
from shatter! Was enough.
550
00:29:17,756 --> 00:29:19,423
The pulverizer's
getting involved now?
551
00:29:19,425 --> 00:29:21,725
[chris] closing in on
30 seconds to go--
552
00:29:21,727 --> 00:29:23,293
[kenny] oh, no!
553
00:29:23,295 --> 00:29:25,662
[chris] ...And now
he's got pain train
up against the screws.
554
00:29:25,764 --> 00:29:26,864
Back off, back off.
555
00:29:26,965 --> 00:29:27,931
[chris] pain train
556
00:29:27,933 --> 00:29:29,566
Is still moving, though,
kenny.
557
00:29:29,568 --> 00:29:33,036
[kenny] yeah, I mean,
this is a huge upgrade
in its drive.
558
00:29:33,038 --> 00:29:34,805
I'm not sure
it would have survived
559
00:29:34,807 --> 00:29:36,707
One hit from shatter!
Last season.
560
00:29:36,709 --> 00:29:38,942
Oh, jeez.
561
00:29:39,011 --> 00:29:40,043
Come on. Come back on, baby.
562
00:29:40,045 --> 00:29:41,812
[chris] uh-oh and now
pain train's
563
00:29:41,814 --> 00:29:44,815
Near the other 100-lb
pulverizer in the corner.
564
00:29:44,817 --> 00:29:46,150
Does shatter!
Wanna run the hammer?
565
00:29:46,218 --> 00:29:47,117
Of course it does!
566
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:48,352
[kenny] just chewing them up
567
00:29:48,453 --> 00:29:51,221
[chris] now with ten second
to go.
568
00:29:51,223 --> 00:29:53,657
Pain train's still moving.
569
00:29:53,659 --> 00:29:57,394
You've gotta give evan aria
and his team credit for tha
570
00:29:57,396 --> 00:30:00,264
As it officially
goes to the judges.
571
00:30:00,332 --> 00:30:01,598
Let's go!
572
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,200
Who's the king of new york
now?
573
00:30:03,202 --> 00:30:05,936
[chris] yeah!
Shatter! Fired up.
574
00:30:08,707 --> 00:30:12,943
All three of the judges,
former battlebots
participants.
575
00:30:12,945 --> 00:30:16,013
Lisa winter, jason bardis,
derek young
576
00:30:16,015 --> 00:30:18,649
Scoring on an 11 point syste
577
00:30:18,750 --> 00:30:20,918
Up to five points
can be awarded for damage,
578
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,554
Three for aggression,
three for control.
579
00:30:26,926 --> 00:30:29,526
Well, pain train's drum
580
00:30:29,528 --> 00:30:31,428
Worked well out of the gate
kenny.
581
00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:32,763
[kenny] yeah, absolutely.
582
00:30:32,865 --> 00:30:35,833
It got off to a hot start
getting underneath shatter!
583
00:30:35,934 --> 00:30:39,403
Uppercutting it into the ai
and ripping off a fork,
584
00:30:39,405 --> 00:30:43,207
But then the gremlins return
to haunt evan arias
585
00:30:43,209 --> 00:30:45,709
And pain train
lost its weapon.
586
00:30:45,711 --> 00:30:49,046
[chris] shatter!
Took full advantage,
able to attack at will.
587
00:30:49,048 --> 00:30:52,449
So impressive, the precisio
adam wrigley and the team have
588
00:30:52,518 --> 00:30:54,151
With that weapon.
589
00:30:54,219 --> 00:30:57,120
[kenny] yeah, they are
so durable, so precise.
590
00:30:57,122 --> 00:31:00,524
It was hammer time
and they can't touch this.
591
00:31:00,526 --> 00:31:02,426
[chris] pain train
did make it the distance
592
00:31:02,428 --> 00:31:05,729
But not before
taking a beating
from shatter!'s hammer
593
00:31:05,731 --> 00:31:08,832
And, of course,
the 100-lb pulverizer as well.
594
00:31:08,934 --> 00:31:11,001
Gonna feel that one
in the morning.
595
00:31:14,340 --> 00:31:17,207
The results from the judges
are in!
596
00:31:17,209 --> 00:31:18,609
[crowd cheering]
597
00:31:20,913 --> 00:31:24,248
The winner,
by unanimous decision, is...
598
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,254
Shatter!
599
00:31:30,322 --> 00:31:31,889
[crowd cheering]
600
00:31:31,891 --> 00:31:33,123
Let's go!
601
00:31:38,063 --> 00:31:39,329
Woo!
602
00:31:39,331 --> 00:31:40,564
Good fight.
603
00:31:47,806 --> 00:31:49,172
[chris] so, kenny,
604
00:31:49,174 --> 00:31:51,541
Despite going the full
three minutes with pain trai
605
00:31:51,643 --> 00:31:55,412
Shatter! Didn't really
take any significant damage
606
00:31:55,414 --> 00:31:58,215
[kenny] yeah
and that is so valuable
in a tournament like this.
607
00:31:58,217 --> 00:32:00,651
Instead of burning time
making repairs
608
00:32:00,719 --> 00:32:04,554
They can instead
focus on preparations
for their next opponent.
609
00:32:05,958 --> 00:32:07,024
[chris] well, up next
610
00:32:07,026 --> 00:32:08,125
It is a super heavyweight
fight
611
00:32:08,127 --> 00:32:10,127
Between
two of our biggest bots,
612
00:32:10,129 --> 00:32:14,197
The immovable object meets
the other immovable object
613
00:32:14,199 --> 00:32:15,933
As deep six takes on huge.
614
00:32:16,034 --> 00:32:19,603
That's next on battlebots
champions sin city slugfest
615
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,314
[crowd cheering]
616
00:32:30,316 --> 00:32:34,418
[chris] welcome back
to battlebots champions
sin city slugfest
617
00:32:34,420 --> 00:32:35,552
Where we are getting
618
00:32:35,554 --> 00:32:38,922
A live look at donald hutso
in the test box
619
00:32:38,924 --> 00:32:42,859
And there's lock-jaw firing
that deadly vertical spinner
620
00:32:42,928 --> 00:32:45,963
With a storied history
and a top-notch pedigree
621
00:32:45,965 --> 00:32:47,497
No one's gonna argue,
622
00:32:47,499 --> 00:32:50,801
Lock-jaw
has earned its standing
as tonight's gatekeeper
623
00:32:50,803 --> 00:32:52,602
In this qualifying tournamen
624
00:32:52,604 --> 00:32:54,638
Donald hutson
only needs one win
625
00:32:54,740 --> 00:32:56,606
To join
the field of champions.
626
00:32:56,608 --> 00:32:58,241
His quest for the golden bol
627
00:32:58,343 --> 00:33:02,412
Will begin
at the end of the evening.
628
00:33:02,414 --> 00:33:06,116
But right now it is time
for the final fight
of the first round
629
00:33:06,118 --> 00:33:08,118
And it is a monster.
630
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,320
You've got huge
taking on deep six
631
00:33:10,322 --> 00:33:11,621
And jonathan schultz,
632
00:33:11,623 --> 00:33:13,623
When he arrived on the scene
in 2018
633
00:33:13,625 --> 00:33:16,526
Instantly became
a fan favorite,
634
00:33:16,528 --> 00:33:19,129
But the past few seasons
have been a struggle.
635
00:33:19,131 --> 00:33:21,131
Jonathan, he's hungry
for a winning streak
636
00:33:21,133 --> 00:33:23,300
So he can put to rest
any concerns
637
00:33:23,302 --> 00:33:24,601
That his bot has peaked.
638
00:33:25,738 --> 00:33:27,704
[kenny] well, I think
those wins will be coming.
639
00:33:27,706 --> 00:33:31,808
Huge's weapon
is spinning so fast
and hitting harder than ever
640
00:33:31,810 --> 00:33:35,012
This team has
put a ton of work into the b
641
00:33:35,014 --> 00:33:36,046
And jonathan schultz
642
00:33:36,148 --> 00:33:37,714
Is optimistic
about the future.
643
00:33:38,951 --> 00:33:40,717
[chris] he's gonna take on
deep six
644
00:33:40,719 --> 00:33:42,052
And dustin esswein
645
00:33:42,154 --> 00:33:44,721
And kenny, truth be told,
I still have nightmares
646
00:33:44,723 --> 00:33:47,958
From when deep six
took a chunk out of
the battlebox floor.
647
00:33:48,027 --> 00:33:52,229
This bot is just so dangerou
with that gigantic vertical
spinner.
648
00:33:52,231 --> 00:33:55,265
[kenny] yeah, dustin
has actually downsized
that weapon
649
00:33:55,333 --> 00:33:58,201
From 100 lbs to 80 lbs
650
00:33:58,203 --> 00:34:01,038
And lowered the power
for better stability
651
00:34:01,106 --> 00:34:04,141
But it still packs
its patented punch.
652
00:34:04,209 --> 00:34:05,909
[chris] the winner
of this match up
653
00:34:05,911 --> 00:34:08,111
Will fight shatter!
In the second round
654
00:34:08,113 --> 00:34:10,247
And move one step closer
to earning a spot
655
00:34:10,315 --> 00:34:12,349
In the gold bolt tournament
656
00:34:12,451 --> 00:34:17,154
Can dustin esswein
and deep six bury huge at se
657
00:34:17,255 --> 00:34:20,957
Or will jonathan schultz
give the navy diver the bend
658
00:34:21,026 --> 00:34:22,826
Let's find out. Faruq.
659
00:34:24,129 --> 00:34:25,262
[crowd cheering]
660
00:34:27,766 --> 00:34:31,535
In the red square,
from norfolk, virginia,
661
00:34:31,537 --> 00:34:34,137
This bot's captained
by a navy diver
662
00:34:34,206 --> 00:34:38,108
And he's ready
to shove a nerd
into davy jones' locker,
663
00:34:38,110 --> 00:34:41,611
It's deep six!
664
00:34:41,613 --> 00:34:42,946
[crowd cheering]
665
00:34:47,219 --> 00:34:49,719
[chris] captain dustin esswe
leading in his crew.
666
00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:51,621
It is composed of
former members
667
00:34:51,623 --> 00:34:54,524
Of team lucky, chronos
and jackpot.
668
00:34:54,526 --> 00:34:56,226
I know the navy
loves to recruit
669
00:34:56,228 --> 00:34:59,062
But this is just crazy, huh
670
00:34:59,064 --> 00:35:00,630
[kenny] get a look
at that weapon.
671
00:35:00,632 --> 00:35:02,432
They call it "the anchor."
672
00:35:02,501 --> 00:35:07,104
It's a 4-foot-long blade
that spins at 200
miles-an-hour.
673
00:35:07,106 --> 00:35:10,507
Both of the weapons
in this fight are so violent
674
00:35:10,509 --> 00:35:14,111
Weapon durability
might be the x factor
in this one.
675
00:35:17,516 --> 00:35:21,318
In the blue square,
from south windsor,
connecticut,
676
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,620
This bot makes andre the giant
677
00:35:23,622 --> 00:35:26,723
Look like
andre the regular guy.
678
00:35:26,725 --> 00:35:30,060
It's huge!
679
00:35:30,129 --> 00:35:31,460
[crowd cheering]
680
00:35:34,166 --> 00:35:38,301
[chris] there is the man,
jonathan schultz, team huge
681
00:35:38,303 --> 00:35:40,303
This squad has yet to make
a deep run
682
00:35:40,305 --> 00:35:42,405
At the world championship
tournament
683
00:35:42,407 --> 00:35:46,643
But jonathan firmly believe
that huge can win
the golden bolt.
684
00:35:46,712 --> 00:35:47,744
Why is that, kenny?
685
00:35:47,846 --> 00:35:48,812
[kenny] well, listen,
686
00:35:48,814 --> 00:35:50,213
Jonathan's gone back
to the basics.
687
00:35:50,215 --> 00:35:51,348
He and his team
688
00:35:51,350 --> 00:35:53,850
Have put all of their focus
into the weapon.
689
00:35:53,919 --> 00:35:57,087
It spins four times faster
than it did last season
690
00:35:57,089 --> 00:36:00,257
And they think
they've rediscovered
their knockout power.
691
00:36:12,137 --> 00:36:15,805
This competition
is the best robots
that have ever been
692
00:36:15,807 --> 00:36:19,609
And the golden bolt tournament
is even more intense
than that,
693
00:36:19,611 --> 00:36:22,012
So, like,
these are the top of the top,
694
00:36:22,014 --> 00:36:23,179
Highest level robots
695
00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:25,448
And if we can even get close
that would be amazing.
696
00:36:25,517 --> 00:36:29,052
For huge we have
a massive amount of reach
697
00:36:29,121 --> 00:36:32,355
But if they get anywhere close
to our sides or anything
like that
698
00:36:32,457 --> 00:36:33,423
We're super vulnerable.
699
00:36:33,425 --> 00:36:35,625
We have no topper or anything
and they can
700
00:36:35,627 --> 00:36:37,627
Get through aluminum
just like that
701
00:36:37,629 --> 00:36:40,330
So it's definitely
something we're not
gonna take lightly.
702
00:36:40,332 --> 00:36:42,065
I'm gonna keep the weapon
spun up,
703
00:36:42,133 --> 00:36:43,600
May get a little chaotic,
704
00:36:43,602 --> 00:36:46,036
But I'm just gonna
keep coming at them
the whole time.
705
00:36:46,104 --> 00:36:47,103
I think deep six
706
00:36:47,105 --> 00:36:49,306
Is a bigger version
of uppercut
707
00:36:49,308 --> 00:36:50,840
And uppercut's a scary robot.
708
00:36:50,909 --> 00:36:53,243
They hit really hard,
they're really tall
709
00:36:53,312 --> 00:36:56,213
So we know that it's something
where we have to
drive carefully.
710
00:36:56,215 --> 00:36:58,415
Huge should have the advantage
because we're a lot faster
711
00:36:58,417 --> 00:36:59,516
And more maneuverable.
712
00:36:59,518 --> 00:37:00,817
We can turn quickly.
713
00:37:00,819 --> 00:37:02,485
My hope is that
we'd be able to drive around,
714
00:37:02,487 --> 00:37:04,521
Avoid the weapon
and hit the sides
715
00:37:04,523 --> 00:37:06,656
And a lot of just trying to
hit them harder
than they hit us.
716
00:37:12,431 --> 00:37:13,430
[man] good luck.
717
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:17,734
[robot voice] robots activat
718
00:37:17,836 --> 00:37:18,935
[crowd cheering]
719
00:37:22,808 --> 00:37:25,809
[chris] this match
has serious b-b-e.
720
00:37:25,811 --> 00:37:28,612
That's "big bot energy."
721
00:37:28,614 --> 00:37:31,948
Will huge finally get
its big break?
722
00:37:32,017 --> 00:37:35,051
Or will deep six
break them into pieces?
723
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:40,056
The fight when battlebots
champions continues.
724
00:37:48,233 --> 00:37:51,968
[chris] welcome back
to battlebots champions
the sin city slugfest
725
00:37:52,004 --> 00:37:54,838
Where two of the biggest
machines in the sport
726
00:37:54,939 --> 00:37:57,140
Are about to go full hulk.
727
00:37:57,209 --> 00:37:58,642
Here we go.
728
00:38:13,525 --> 00:38:16,293
One of these behemoths
is gonna move one step close
729
00:38:16,295 --> 00:38:18,561
To joining
the field of champions
730
00:38:18,663 --> 00:38:20,297
And fighting
for the golden bolt.
731
00:38:20,299 --> 00:38:22,132
[crowd chanting] fight!
Fight! Fight!
732
00:38:24,002 --> 00:38:25,835
[chris] let the bot battle
begin.
733
00:38:25,904 --> 00:38:29,105
Two terrifying weapons
spinning up to full speed.
734
00:38:29,107 --> 00:38:31,508
Look out! Whoa!
735
00:38:31,510 --> 00:38:34,411
Nice shot there by deep six
to get huge off-balance.
736
00:38:34,413 --> 00:38:36,313
-[kenny] uh-oh!
-[chris] oh!
737
00:38:36,315 --> 00:38:39,516
That's a bad sign for huge,
kenny.
738
00:38:39,518 --> 00:38:42,319
[kenny] yeah, huge
a little out of control
here to start
739
00:38:42,321 --> 00:38:44,721
And deep six
is taking advantage.
740
00:38:44,723 --> 00:38:46,222
[chris and kenny] whoa!
741
00:38:46,224 --> 00:38:47,457
[kenny] uh-oh.
742
00:38:47,459 --> 00:38:50,427
[chris] and look at this,
deep six's blade is caught
743
00:38:50,429 --> 00:38:52,696
Right on one of those wheels
kenny, that you love so much
744
00:38:52,698 --> 00:38:54,631
Why don't you go in there
and dislodge him?
745
00:38:54,633 --> 00:38:57,200
[kenny] I mean,
it's a better place
to hit than the main frame.
746
00:38:57,202 --> 00:38:58,601
[chris] and these two beast
747
00:38:58,603 --> 00:39:01,104
Are able to untangle
themselves from each other.
748
00:39:01,106 --> 00:39:02,405
[kenny] I didn't expect
this fight--
749
00:39:02,407 --> 00:39:04,641
-[chris and kenny] oh!
-[crowd cheering]
750
00:39:04,743 --> 00:39:07,043
[kenny] deep six! My goodnes
751
00:39:07,145 --> 00:39:11,114
[chris] holy smokes.
Let's go for a ride, big boy
752
00:39:11,116 --> 00:39:13,717
[kenny] that was
a ridiculous shot by deep si
753
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,753
Sending a 250-lb huge flying
754
00:39:16,821 --> 00:39:20,357
[chris] jonathan schultz' bo
trying to collect itself
755
00:39:20,458 --> 00:39:24,327
And huge continuing to deal
with a major mobility issue
here, kenny.
756
00:39:24,329 --> 00:39:27,731
It has very little control
out there.
757
00:39:27,733 --> 00:39:29,499
[kenny] yeah, it looks to m
like that left wheel
758
00:39:29,501 --> 00:39:32,402
Is having trouble
rotating correctly, chris,
759
00:39:32,404 --> 00:39:35,105
And may have been damaged
very early in this fight.
760
00:39:35,107 --> 00:39:38,208
Jonathan trying to find a wa
to power through here.
761
00:39:38,210 --> 00:39:39,709
[chris] jonathan schultz
762
00:39:39,711 --> 00:39:41,611
Is having
all sorts of trouble.
763
00:39:41,613 --> 00:39:44,114
He looks like a new driver
on the road.
764
00:39:44,116 --> 00:39:46,316
He's all over the place.
765
00:39:46,318 --> 00:39:48,952
[kenny] deep six
continuing to attack.
766
00:39:48,954 --> 00:39:51,121
[chris] yeah, but it doesn'
look like dustin esswein
767
00:39:51,123 --> 00:39:53,623
Can fire up that weapon
to full capacity right now.
768
00:39:53,625 --> 00:39:56,960
I don't know if one of thos
shots he delivered may have
dismantled something.
769
00:39:57,061 --> 00:39:58,261
[kenny] well, you see
the bar of huge
770
00:39:58,329 --> 00:39:59,529
Kind of jammed up that weapo
771
00:39:59,531 --> 00:40:01,464
Let's see if deep six
can get up to full speed.
772
00:40:01,533 --> 00:40:04,100
[chris] huge trying
to stay above water here.
773
00:40:04,102 --> 00:40:07,937
Remember, winner of this mat
goes on to face shatter!
In the second round
774
00:40:07,939 --> 00:40:09,706
And at the end
of tonight's bracket
775
00:40:09,708 --> 00:40:11,508
Lock-jaw awaits.
776
00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:14,344
Take down donald hutson,
stamp your ticket
777
00:40:14,413 --> 00:40:15,812
To the golden bolt tournamen
778
00:40:15,814 --> 00:40:18,715
That is what all these team
are gunning for.
779
00:40:19,851 --> 00:40:21,718
Kenny, we've seen
a couple of times
780
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:24,554
A little bit of plume of smo
out of the back of deep six
781
00:40:24,656 --> 00:40:25,755
Something to keep your eye o
782
00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:28,358
As we're closing in
on the one-minute mark.
783
00:40:28,427 --> 00:40:31,060
[kenny] yeah, I believe
that's from the tires
of deep six
784
00:40:31,096 --> 00:40:33,029
As it grinds
against the floor.
785
00:40:33,031 --> 00:40:34,630
Trying to lean on huge here
786
00:40:34,699 --> 00:40:38,401
[chris] and that pulverizer
just hit one of the spokes
on huge.
787
00:40:38,403 --> 00:40:41,704
Huge trying to spin its way
out of oblivion
788
00:40:41,706 --> 00:40:43,606
With 45 seconds left.
789
00:40:43,608 --> 00:40:46,209
The weapon isn't spinning
on huge.
790
00:40:46,211 --> 00:40:49,946
It is on deep six
which lands a glancing blow
791
00:40:50,048 --> 00:40:51,815
[kenny] yeah,
huge in a very deep hole no
792
00:40:51,817 --> 00:40:54,217
Without the use
of its primary weapon.
793
00:40:54,219 --> 00:40:57,554
Jonathan schultz
gonna have to hope
deep six blows a motor
794
00:40:57,655 --> 00:40:59,989
And loses drive here
down this stretch.
795
00:40:59,991 --> 00:41:03,993
It is desperation time
for team huge now.
796
00:41:03,995 --> 00:41:06,129
[chris] huge has got to
make a statement.
797
00:41:06,131 --> 00:41:10,300
Jonathan schultz
has got to right the ship
against the navy diver.
798
00:41:10,302 --> 00:41:11,634
[kenny] the wheels of huge
799
00:41:11,703 --> 00:41:13,703
Have given it
some good protection,
800
00:41:13,705 --> 00:41:17,507
But huge hasn't
landed anything
as far as offense here.
801
00:41:19,010 --> 00:41:20,810
[chris] this is
gonna go the distance
802
00:41:20,812 --> 00:41:24,314
But an awfully unsatisfactor
performance
803
00:41:24,316 --> 00:41:27,116
For jonathan schultz and hug
804
00:41:27,118 --> 00:41:28,518
[buzzer sounds]
805
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,720
As deep six
has taken it to them.
806
00:41:30,722 --> 00:41:32,087
[crowd cheering]
807
00:41:33,825 --> 00:41:37,327
And now we will take this on
to the judge's scorecard.
808
00:41:39,731 --> 00:41:42,098
Well, kenny,
I'd say deep six
was the underdog
809
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:43,600
Coming into this fight,
810
00:41:43,602 --> 00:41:47,737
But dustin esswein
flipped that script
in a hurry.
811
00:41:47,839 --> 00:41:50,507
[kenny] big time
and it looks like
this first shot
812
00:41:50,509 --> 00:41:52,842
May have been the one
that swung the match.
813
00:41:52,911 --> 00:41:55,945
Huge never regained control
of its left wheel
814
00:41:56,014 --> 00:41:57,814
After that initial exchange
815
00:41:57,816 --> 00:42:01,117
And that left deep six
in complete control.
816
00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:02,719
[chris] had the blade
stuck for a while,
817
00:42:02,721 --> 00:42:05,021
Was able to spin around
and get dislodged
818
00:42:05,023 --> 00:42:06,656
And then I think
that set it up
819
00:42:06,758 --> 00:42:09,759
For certainly
the most pleasing
hit of the night.
820
00:42:09,827 --> 00:42:11,527
[kenny] oh.
821
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:12,629
-[chris] there's some seriou
judge eye candy.
-[kenny] yeah.
822
00:42:12,631 --> 00:42:14,564
That's what the fans
came to see.
823
00:42:14,666 --> 00:42:17,033
Just a tremendous shot ther
from deep six.
824
00:42:17,102 --> 00:42:19,402
Gotta tell you,
I'm surprised huge
825
00:42:19,404 --> 00:42:21,371
Was able to
recover from that one.
826
00:42:21,373 --> 00:42:25,208
[chris] these two heavyweigh
slowed down as the time
ticked away,
827
00:42:25,210 --> 00:42:27,944
But dustin esswein
continued to lean on huge
828
00:42:28,013 --> 00:42:32,348
And eventually
jonathan schultz' bot
lost its primary weapon.
829
00:42:32,417 --> 00:42:36,252
A dominant performance
by the boys from deep six.
830
00:42:36,321 --> 00:42:37,554
[crowd cheering]
831
00:42:40,058 --> 00:42:42,825
The results from the judges
are in.
832
00:42:47,332 --> 00:42:51,301
The winner
by unanimous decision is...
833
00:42:58,209 --> 00:43:00,510
Deep six!
834
00:43:00,512 --> 00:43:01,711
[crowd cheering]
835
00:43:01,713 --> 00:43:03,646
Good fight, guys.
836
00:43:19,965 --> 00:43:24,500
[chris] all right, so,
deep six kicks off its ques
for the golden bolt in styl
837
00:43:24,502 --> 00:43:26,502
And moves onto
the second round
838
00:43:26,504 --> 00:43:28,104
And a match up with shatter
839
00:43:28,106 --> 00:43:31,574
That is sure to be
a smashing affair.
840
00:43:31,576 --> 00:43:32,642
And with that,
841
00:43:32,744 --> 00:43:34,210
Our first round action
is complete.
842
00:43:34,212 --> 00:43:36,245
Three more wins
is gonna earn one team
843
00:43:36,347 --> 00:43:38,748
A berth in the golden bolt
tournament.
844
00:43:40,051 --> 00:43:42,518
Coming up,
our four remaining robots
845
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,053
Will throw down in the box.
846
00:43:44,122 --> 00:43:46,923
Who will earn a fight
with donald hutson
and lock-jaw?
847
00:43:46,925 --> 00:43:52,228
That's still to come here on
battlebots champions
sin city slugfest.
848
00:44:02,374 --> 00:44:03,840
[crowd cheering]
849
00:44:03,842 --> 00:44:08,011
It is time for more of
the sin city slugfest
here on battlebots
850
00:44:08,013 --> 00:44:12,148
And there is a live look
at dustin esswein
and deep six
851
00:44:12,250 --> 00:44:14,517
Coming off their impressive
win over huge
852
00:44:14,519 --> 00:44:17,520
And as you can see
the work in the pits
is frantic
853
00:44:17,522 --> 00:44:20,223
In this grueling
one-night tournament.
854
00:44:20,225 --> 00:44:22,992
Deep six will return
to the battlebox shortly
855
00:44:22,994 --> 00:44:25,728
For its upcoming fight
with shatter!
856
00:44:25,730 --> 00:44:30,700
But back inside the arena
we are diving straight into
the second round action
857
00:44:30,702 --> 00:44:33,603
As ribbot squares off
with malice.
858
00:44:36,541 --> 00:44:38,508
Both teams
are behind the glass
859
00:44:38,510 --> 00:44:40,610
Itching to move
one step closer
860
00:44:40,612 --> 00:44:44,447
To the hottest new trophy
in las vegas, the golden bol
861
00:44:44,549 --> 00:44:47,016
[robot voice] red team, read
862
00:44:47,018 --> 00:44:49,952
Ready!
863
00:44:51,623 --> 00:44:53,056
[chris] somebody's fired up
864
00:44:53,124 --> 00:44:55,291
For captain bunny sauriol
a win over ribbot
865
00:44:55,293 --> 00:44:57,060
Would silence
a lot of critics.
866
00:44:57,128 --> 00:44:58,661
She wants the robot fightin
world to know
867
00:44:58,730 --> 00:45:00,496
Malice means business.
868
00:45:00,498 --> 00:45:02,165
[kenny] no question, chris,
869
00:45:02,167 --> 00:45:05,902
A win against ribbot
would dramatically alter
this team's trajectory
870
00:45:05,904 --> 00:45:09,005
And launch them
into the next tier
of elite bots.
871
00:45:09,007 --> 00:45:13,609
You can see they're using
their 55-lb drumette,
big red, for this fight.
872
00:45:13,611 --> 00:45:16,612
As always with malice
weapon reliability
873
00:45:16,614 --> 00:45:18,648
Will be crucial
to their success.
874
00:45:21,052 --> 00:45:23,052
[robot voice] blue team,
ready.
875
00:45:26,224 --> 00:45:28,391
[chris] kenny,
here's an incredible fact.
876
00:45:28,393 --> 00:45:31,327
All of ribbot's victories
have been by knockout.
877
00:45:31,329 --> 00:45:34,764
They have never, never,
won a judges' decision.
878
00:45:34,866 --> 00:45:35,931
[kenny]
well, that kind of history
879
00:45:35,933 --> 00:45:38,201
Is so valuable
in a tournament like this
880
00:45:38,203 --> 00:45:43,606
Where quick knockouts
often mean less time
repairing back in the pits.
881
00:45:43,608 --> 00:45:45,942
Ribbot's gone with
their vertical spinner
for this one.
882
00:45:46,043 --> 00:45:48,511
They think they can
keep malice off-balance
883
00:45:48,513 --> 00:45:50,113
And finish this fight.
884
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,226
[crowd cheering]
885
00:46:07,966 --> 00:46:10,433
[chris] big opportunity
for these teams.
886
00:46:10,502 --> 00:46:12,235
The winner moves
one step closer
887
00:46:12,336 --> 00:46:13,903
To a fight with lock-jaw
888
00:46:13,905 --> 00:46:17,473
And a potential berth
in the golden bolt tournamen
889
00:46:17,475 --> 00:46:19,041
[crowd chanting] fight!
Fight! Fight!
890
00:46:20,745 --> 00:46:22,712
[chris]
let the bot battle begin!
891
00:46:24,716 --> 00:46:26,115
Ribbot on the hunt.
892
00:46:26,117 --> 00:46:27,316
Here's big red.
893
00:46:28,953 --> 00:46:30,186
[chris laughs]
894
00:46:30,188 --> 00:46:32,622
Malice on the defensive,
takes a shot to the schnoz
895
00:46:32,624 --> 00:46:33,689
And gets flipped over.
896
00:46:33,691 --> 00:46:35,958
It can drive inverted,
remember.
897
00:46:36,027 --> 00:46:37,393
[kenny] oh, nice shot
by ribbot.
898
00:46:37,395 --> 00:46:40,429
That big front wedge
holding up well so far.
899
00:46:40,431 --> 00:46:44,233
[chris] doing a nice job
taking malice into the screw
900
00:46:44,302 --> 00:46:47,036
David rush, driver of malice
needs to find a way
901
00:46:47,105 --> 00:46:48,938
To create some space here
902
00:46:48,940 --> 00:46:52,608
And kenny,
are we already seeing proble
with malice's primary weapon
903
00:46:52,610 --> 00:46:53,943
[kenny] yeah,
it doesn't look like
904
00:46:53,945 --> 00:46:56,112
They're able to get big red
up to speed.
905
00:46:57,949 --> 00:46:59,415
[chris] oh, man.
906
00:46:59,417 --> 00:47:01,450
[kenny] we talked about
how this team has struggled
907
00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:04,120
With weapon reliability
in the past.
908
00:47:04,122 --> 00:47:07,423
This would be a bad time
for that to rear its head
again,
909
00:47:07,425 --> 00:47:11,194
But it hasn't looked right
since that opening shot
by ribbot.
910
00:47:11,196 --> 00:47:14,363
[chris] david jin
continues to stay
right up in malice's grill,
911
00:47:14,432 --> 00:47:16,199
Not giving it an inch,
912
00:47:16,201 --> 00:47:19,202
Controlling the action
with that big front plow.
913
00:47:19,204 --> 00:47:21,604
It has been all ribbot here
so far.
914
00:47:21,606 --> 00:47:23,940
Can malice hang on?
915
00:47:23,942 --> 00:47:26,776
And now that weapon
has been shut down
temporarily,
916
00:47:26,778 --> 00:47:29,712
We've got a little bit
of a grudge match going on.
917
00:47:29,714 --> 00:47:33,716
At this point big red
is more like "big dead."
918
00:47:33,718 --> 00:47:35,651
Hasn't done much of anything
919
00:47:35,753 --> 00:47:36,953
[kenny] yeah,
ribbot really just
920
00:47:37,021 --> 00:47:39,222
Bullying malice
all over the place.
921
00:47:39,224 --> 00:47:41,624
Now that primary
weapon of malice
is spinning up
922
00:47:41,626 --> 00:47:42,925
But it doesn't matter
923
00:47:42,927 --> 00:47:45,628
Because ribbot's
attacking from behind.
924
00:47:45,630 --> 00:47:46,729
[chris] but, kenny,
925
00:47:46,731 --> 00:47:48,097
Could it be
that ribbot's primary weapo
926
00:47:48,099 --> 00:47:49,999
Is no longer working?
927
00:47:50,001 --> 00:47:52,835
Doesn't appear to be
any life in that spinner
right now.
928
00:47:52,904 --> 00:47:54,503
[kenny] I think you may
be right, chris,
929
00:47:54,505 --> 00:47:57,006
And as we know that is gonn
factor in heavily
930
00:47:57,008 --> 00:48:01,110
On the judge's scorecards
in the damage category.
931
00:48:01,112 --> 00:48:02,245
[chris] so, perhaps this fig
932
00:48:02,346 --> 00:48:04,280
Now more even
than it appeared.
933
00:48:04,282 --> 00:48:05,948
Ribbot continuing to dominat
934
00:48:05,950 --> 00:48:08,751
The control category
with that front plow,
935
00:48:08,853 --> 00:48:11,120
But does david jin
have to try to find a way
936
00:48:11,122 --> 00:48:13,322
To break malice's
weapon at this point?
937
00:48:15,226 --> 00:48:16,392
[kenny] well,
one thing's for sure,
938
00:48:16,394 --> 00:48:18,728
David jin has to continue
to be aggressive.
939
00:48:18,730 --> 00:48:21,631
[chris] ribbot now has malic
in a short corner,
940
00:48:21,633 --> 00:48:25,401
And that 100-lb pulverizer
doing some damage as well
941
00:48:25,403 --> 00:48:27,837
And now ribbot just shoving
against the upper deck,
942
00:48:27,939 --> 00:48:31,007
Saying, "sure,
you might make it
a full three minutes,
943
00:48:31,009 --> 00:48:32,775
But you're gonna lose
in terms of points
944
00:48:32,777 --> 00:48:34,644
For aggression and control,
945
00:48:34,745 --> 00:48:36,712
And given the shape
big red is in
946
00:48:36,714 --> 00:48:38,748
Maybe even damage, too.
947
00:48:38,816 --> 00:48:40,515
And look at the big chunks
948
00:48:40,517 --> 00:48:45,421
That have been taken out of
that massive 55-lb
horizontal spinner.
949
00:48:45,423 --> 00:48:48,658
[kenny] malice just unable
to get anything going here.
950
00:48:48,726 --> 00:48:50,626
[chris] winner of this figh
moves one step closer
951
00:48:50,628 --> 00:48:54,230
To a date with lock-jaw
at the end of the night
and, of course,
952
00:48:54,232 --> 00:48:58,334
The ultimate goal is to figh
for the golden bolt.
953
00:48:58,403 --> 00:48:59,835
[kenny] there's some life
out of big red
954
00:48:59,904 --> 00:49:02,004
But it may be too little,
too late.
955
00:49:02,006 --> 00:49:04,040
[chris] ribbot
deflects that blow with eas
956
00:49:04,141 --> 00:49:05,408
And says, "what else you got
957
00:49:06,844 --> 00:49:09,545
All right, you gotta tell me
you got some kind of movement.
958
00:49:09,614 --> 00:49:12,114
[chris] the referee
issuing a warning
to malice.
959
00:49:12,116 --> 00:49:13,282
And how about this,
960
00:49:13,284 --> 00:49:15,952
Ribbot's weapon
is back at full speed.
961
00:49:16,020 --> 00:49:19,055
Looks like that was
a strategic shutdown
962
00:49:19,123 --> 00:49:20,623
And as time expires
it appears david jin...
963
00:49:20,625 --> 00:49:21,724
[buzzer sounds]
964
00:49:21,726 --> 00:49:24,327
...Is indeed
in the driver's seat.
965
00:49:24,329 --> 00:49:26,629
We got this thing
on the wheels.
966
00:49:26,631 --> 00:49:30,199
[chris] ribbot
with an awfully
impressive performance.
967
00:49:30,201 --> 00:49:31,500
[crowd cheering]
968
00:49:35,106 --> 00:49:38,107
Kenny, this one was all ribb
out of the gate.
969
00:49:38,109 --> 00:49:41,110
[kenny] that opening shot
put malice on its back heel
970
00:49:41,112 --> 00:49:44,413
And they stayed that way
for most of this fight.
971
00:49:44,415 --> 00:49:47,416
We thought maybe
ribbot's weapon
got disabled,
972
00:49:47,418 --> 00:49:51,520
But that turned out to be
an intentional shutdown
by david jin.
973
00:49:51,522 --> 00:49:54,824
[chris] ribbot bullied malic
all over the battlebox,
974
00:49:54,826 --> 00:49:57,426
Got the pulverizer involved
as well.
975
00:49:57,428 --> 00:50:01,731
A dominating performance
from the not so friendly frog.
976
00:50:03,334 --> 00:50:06,035
The results from the judges
are in.
977
00:50:09,507 --> 00:50:13,409
The winner,
by unanimous decision, is...
978
00:50:14,512 --> 00:50:15,945
Please don't
continue the streak.
979
00:50:17,315 --> 00:50:18,647
Ribbot!
980
00:50:18,749 --> 00:50:20,016
[cheering]
981
00:50:28,826 --> 00:50:30,559
Yeah!
982
00:50:31,996 --> 00:50:36,298
[chris] all right, so,
the judges have spoken
and they saw what we saw
983
00:50:36,300 --> 00:50:39,035
A powerhouse performance
from ribbot.
984
00:50:39,037 --> 00:50:40,903
David jin and his squad
985
00:50:40,905 --> 00:50:42,938
Are heading
straight back to the pits
986
00:50:42,940 --> 00:50:45,207
To prepare
for their next fight.
987
00:50:45,209 --> 00:50:47,710
By the way, we
witnessed some history here
988
00:50:47,712 --> 00:50:49,945
David jin and ribbot's
first ever win
989
00:50:50,014 --> 00:50:51,247
By judges' decision.
990
00:50:52,583 --> 00:50:54,850
So, hippity-hop
and it don't stop.
991
00:50:54,919 --> 00:50:56,852
Ribbot moves onto
the third round
992
00:50:56,921 --> 00:51:00,556
To face the winner of shatte
versus deep six
993
00:51:00,658 --> 00:51:02,024
And standing guard
994
00:51:02,026 --> 00:51:04,260
Outside the gates
to the golden bolt,
995
00:51:04,328 --> 00:51:07,530
It's the man, the myth,
the legend,
996
00:51:07,532 --> 00:51:09,732
Donald hutson and lock-jaw.
997
00:51:11,302 --> 00:51:13,836
They got a new trophy.
I'm coming for it.
998
00:51:13,905 --> 00:51:16,105
I work my ass off.
999
00:51:16,107 --> 00:51:19,542
That's what I do.
I put my back into this
1000
00:51:19,610 --> 00:51:22,411
So that I can say
I left it all on the table,
1001
00:51:22,413 --> 00:51:24,246
I did everything I could.
1002
00:51:24,315 --> 00:51:26,115
I think this is gonna be
the best lock-jaw you've see
1003
00:51:35,526 --> 00:51:36,725
[crowd cheering]
1004
00:51:38,062 --> 00:51:39,061
We continue on
1005
00:51:39,063 --> 00:51:40,362
With the March toward lock-jaw
1006
00:51:40,364 --> 00:51:43,799
Here on battlebots champi
sin city slugfest,
1007
00:51:43,801 --> 00:51:45,701
Where donald hutson
guards the gate
1008
00:51:45,770 --> 00:51:48,704
To the greatest
new spectacle in the sport,
1009
00:51:48,806 --> 00:51:50,506
The golden bolt tournament.
1010
00:51:52,443 --> 00:51:54,276
And up next it's deep six
and shatter!
1011
00:51:54,278 --> 00:51:56,212
They each won
a judges' decision
1012
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:57,913
To get here
to the second round.
1013
00:51:57,915 --> 00:52:02,518
For team shatter!
They were able to avoid
any significant damage
1014
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,588
While also turning pain trai
into swiss cheese.
1015
00:52:05,590 --> 00:52:08,624
That hammer is looking fierc
kenny.
1016
00:52:08,626 --> 00:52:10,526
[kenny] absolutely
and the rate of fire
1017
00:52:10,595 --> 00:52:13,829
Must be so demoralizing
for shatter!'s opponents.
1018
00:52:13,831 --> 00:52:16,065
There's just no understatin
how lethal
1019
00:52:16,067 --> 00:52:20,803
Those consistent
and precise shots are
to these heavyweight bots.
1020
00:52:22,206 --> 00:52:26,509
Well, deep six
represents a major
competitive step up.
1021
00:52:26,511 --> 00:52:28,410
Dustin esswein has to be hap
1022
00:52:28,479 --> 00:52:31,614
After taking down
a fellow giant in huge.
1023
00:52:31,682 --> 00:52:34,183
Deep six
is turning a lot of heads.
1024
00:52:34,185 --> 00:52:35,985
I think they can
make a deep run here.
1025
00:52:35,987 --> 00:52:37,052
[kenny] yeah, listen,
1026
00:52:37,054 --> 00:52:38,521
I think when that weapon
is working
1027
00:52:38,523 --> 00:52:40,289
It is absolutely devastating
1028
00:52:40,291 --> 00:52:42,091
I thought it was
a good sign in its last figh
1029
00:52:42,093 --> 00:52:43,626
There was way more stability
1030
00:52:43,628 --> 00:52:45,494
That weapon
wasn't throwing them
off-balance so much,
1031
00:52:45,496 --> 00:52:48,497
So if there's a time to do I
it's now.
1032
00:52:48,499 --> 00:52:51,800
If deep six
can stay on point
and take out shatter!
1033
00:52:51,869 --> 00:52:55,604
They can graduate
from fringe spectacle
to serious contender.
1034
00:52:57,308 --> 00:53:01,110
You know who's always
on point? Faruq.
1035
00:53:01,179 --> 00:53:02,211
[crowd cheering]
1036
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,915
In the red square,
from norfolk, virginia,
1037
00:53:05,917 --> 00:53:12,121
Prepare to get put
in a shallow grave
by deep six!
1038
00:53:16,627 --> 00:53:20,629
[chris] captain dustin esswe
pushing deep six back into
the arena.
1039
00:53:20,631 --> 00:53:22,531
Took down huge earlier tonig
1040
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,701
And its reward,
a fight with shatter!
1041
00:53:25,703 --> 00:53:27,570
Piece of cake. Right, kenny
1042
00:53:27,572 --> 00:53:29,205
[kenny laughs] far from it,
1043
00:53:29,207 --> 00:53:33,709
But I gotta say,
deep six has the kind of
one punch knockout power
1044
00:53:33,711 --> 00:53:36,712
That is so valuable
in a tournament like this.
1045
00:53:36,714 --> 00:53:39,415
If dustin can keep his bot
under control,
1046
00:53:39,483 --> 00:53:40,983
It only takes one shot.
1047
00:53:45,823 --> 00:53:49,091
In the blue square,
from brooklyn, new york,
1048
00:53:49,093 --> 00:53:52,428
The hammer bot
that will give you
a splitting headache,
1049
00:53:52,529 --> 00:53:54,597
Shatter!
1050
00:53:54,599 --> 00:53:55,631
[crowd cheering]
1051
00:53:58,703 --> 00:53:59,802
[chris] oh, yeah.
1052
00:53:59,804 --> 00:54:01,937
Team shatter! Fired up.
1053
00:54:01,939 --> 00:54:05,708
Adam wrigley told us
how badly he wants
the golden bolt.
1054
00:54:05,776 --> 00:54:08,911
Feels like shatter!
Is right on the brink
of greatness.
1055
00:54:08,913 --> 00:54:10,713
[kenny] well, listen,
these are the kind of matche
1056
00:54:10,814 --> 00:54:13,115
That separate the good bots
from the great.
1057
00:54:13,217 --> 00:54:15,384
Adam needs
to find the right balance
1058
00:54:15,386 --> 00:54:18,087
Between caution
and aggression here
1059
00:54:18,089 --> 00:54:20,823
Against a dangerous opponen
like deep six.
1060
00:54:20,825 --> 00:54:23,092
[chris] and can somebody
check in on that tennis ball
1061
00:54:23,094 --> 00:54:25,828
It looks like it's got
a seasonal affective disorde
1062
00:54:35,206 --> 00:54:36,505
We did take
a decent amount of damage
1063
00:54:36,507 --> 00:54:37,706
In our fight against huge.
1064
00:54:37,708 --> 00:54:39,875
They destroyed
our weapon pulley
1065
00:54:39,877 --> 00:54:41,977
And they did some
serious damage to the frame.
1066
00:54:41,979 --> 00:54:44,513
We have no top armor
whatsoever,
1067
00:54:44,615 --> 00:54:47,650
Like, honestly, if you step
on the top of deep six
in the wrong way
1068
00:54:47,652 --> 00:54:48,951
You're gonna hurt something
1069
00:54:48,953 --> 00:54:51,120
And that's because we put
all of the power into the bar.
1070
00:54:51,188 --> 00:54:53,822
We have a ton of reach
and a ton of power.
1071
00:54:53,924 --> 00:54:56,025
The strategy accordingly
is gonna be drive aggressive,
1072
00:54:56,027 --> 00:54:57,158
Hit them hard.
1073
00:54:57,228 --> 00:55:00,229
Deep six has the largest,
sort of, most powerful,
1074
00:55:00,297 --> 00:55:03,966
Most inertia vertical spinner
at the competition.
1075
00:55:03,968 --> 00:55:07,770
We have a lot of armor
that we'd like to not test
against that spinner.
1076
00:55:07,772 --> 00:55:09,204
They don't have
a lot of armor.
1077
00:55:09,306 --> 00:55:10,306
They've, sort of,
1078
00:55:10,308 --> 00:55:12,041
Put all of their weight
into that spinner
1079
00:55:12,043 --> 00:55:14,510
So we think if we can
get a hit on their robot
1080
00:55:14,512 --> 00:55:16,712
We'll get a great
tactical advantage there,
1081
00:55:16,780 --> 00:55:19,081
But that robot
has insane power
1082
00:55:19,083 --> 00:55:21,617
And it will just launch you
straight across the arena
if you're not careful.
1083
00:55:26,424 --> 00:55:27,890
[robot voice] robots activat
1084
00:55:31,062 --> 00:55:33,429
[chris] big time
second round match up here.
1085
00:55:33,464 --> 00:55:35,964
The winner will face ribbot
for the right to take on
1086
00:55:35,966 --> 00:55:37,866
Tonight's gatekeeper lock-ja
1087
00:55:37,868 --> 00:55:40,969
Any predictions out there,
kenny?
1088
00:55:40,971 --> 00:55:42,871
[kenny] between
deep six's spinner
1089
00:55:42,873 --> 00:55:47,076
And shatter!'s hammer,
I'll quote another legend,
mr. T,
1090
00:55:47,078 --> 00:55:49,278
"our prediction? Pain."
1091
00:55:57,588 --> 00:55:59,088
[crowd cheering]
1092
00:56:03,594 --> 00:56:05,561
[crowd chanting] fight!
Fight! Fight!
1093
00:56:05,563 --> 00:56:08,630
[chris] we are ready
for deep six and shatter!
1094
00:56:08,699 --> 00:56:11,900
Eric wrigley mean mugging
deep six.
1095
00:56:11,902 --> 00:56:14,303
Pure focus
from the navy diver.
1096
00:56:17,274 --> 00:56:19,308
Let the bot battle begin!
1097
00:56:19,377 --> 00:56:22,177
Look at that giant blade
of deep six spinning up.
1098
00:56:22,179 --> 00:56:24,313
That thing's terrifying.
1099
00:56:24,415 --> 00:56:26,648
No, now hovering
over the top of shatter!
1100
00:56:26,650 --> 00:56:30,853
Oh no! Shatter! Says,
"back off me, pal."
1101
00:56:30,855 --> 00:56:31,954
[chris and kenny] oh!
1102
00:56:31,956 --> 00:56:34,323
[chris] big countershot
by deep six!
1103
00:56:34,425 --> 00:56:35,523
[kenny] wow.
1104
00:56:35,593 --> 00:56:37,693
[chris] shatter!
Shakes it off, self-rights
1105
00:56:37,695 --> 00:56:39,828
And resets here.
1106
00:56:39,930 --> 00:56:41,296
[chris and kenny] oh!
1107
00:56:41,298 --> 00:56:44,199
[chris] my goodness!
Unbelievable
1108
00:56:44,201 --> 00:56:46,602
And that got a "wow"
out of adam wrigley...
1109
00:56:46,604 --> 00:56:48,036
[kenny] oh!
1110
00:56:48,038 --> 00:56:49,805
[chris] ...Who continues
to feed its face
1111
00:56:49,907 --> 00:56:51,673
Right into
the weapon of deep six.
1112
00:56:51,675 --> 00:56:54,410
What is shatter! Doing, kenn
1113
00:56:54,412 --> 00:56:55,577
[kenny] it looks like
they're trying to
1114
00:56:55,579 --> 00:56:57,012
Break deep six's weapon.
1115
00:56:57,014 --> 00:56:58,514
Playing with fire here.
1116
00:57:00,284 --> 00:57:02,217
Right there they have
deep six off-balance.
1117
00:57:02,219 --> 00:57:03,285
[chris and kenny] oh!
1118
00:57:03,287 --> 00:57:05,521
[chris] unbelievable!
1119
00:57:05,523 --> 00:57:06,822
Bots end up
1120
00:57:06,824 --> 00:57:08,791
In opposite corners
of the battlebox.
1121
00:57:08,793 --> 00:57:10,125
Stuck on the floor, man.
1122
00:57:10,127 --> 00:57:12,828
The wheels are spinning.
I'm stuck on the floor.
1123
00:57:12,830 --> 00:57:15,030
[chris] both fighters
are weary.
1124
00:57:15,032 --> 00:57:17,499
[kenny] shatter! Looking
a little punch drunk here.
1125
00:57:17,501 --> 00:57:19,301
Deep six is hovering.
1126
00:57:19,403 --> 00:57:21,403
You want it? You want it?
1127
00:57:21,472 --> 00:57:24,072
[chris] dustin esswein
saying, "you want more?
1128
00:57:24,074 --> 00:57:26,809
You want more,
I'll give you more!"
1129
00:57:26,811 --> 00:57:28,677
And shatter! Just got hit
by the pulverizer
1130
00:57:28,679 --> 00:57:31,413
And takes another shot
right to the grill.
1131
00:57:31,415 --> 00:57:33,081
[kenny] oh, my goodness.
1132
00:57:33,083 --> 00:57:34,483
You want another?
1133
00:57:34,485 --> 00:57:36,718
[chris] oh,
I love the taunting,
1134
00:57:36,787 --> 00:57:38,687
But has shatter! Had enough
1135
00:57:40,658 --> 00:57:42,591
[referee] gotta see movement.
1136
00:57:42,593 --> 00:57:45,527
[chris] here comes deep six
1137
00:57:45,529 --> 00:57:46,795
[kenny] oh, man.
1138
00:57:46,797 --> 00:57:49,031
[chris] adam wrigley trying
to keep the beast at bay
1139
00:57:49,033 --> 00:57:51,500
With shatter!'s hammer.
1140
00:57:51,502 --> 00:57:53,702
[kenny] what an upset
this would be.
1141
00:57:53,771 --> 00:57:56,038
Shatter! Is in serious
trouble, chris!
1142
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:57,773
I'm moving that wheel.
1143
00:57:57,775 --> 00:57:59,274
[chris] team shatter!
Trying desperately
1144
00:57:59,276 --> 00:58:01,610
To get its robot
back in the action,
1145
00:58:01,712 --> 00:58:04,646
But all shatter! Can do
is flail that hammer.
1146
00:58:04,648 --> 00:58:06,281
[referee] gonna have to
count you out.
1147
00:58:06,283 --> 00:58:07,883
[chris] yeah,
this is gonna be it.
1148
00:58:07,885 --> 00:58:10,419
-Deep six has done it!
-[referee] ten, nine...
1149
00:58:10,421 --> 00:58:12,321
[chris] the countdown
has started.
1150
00:58:12,389 --> 00:58:13,822
[referee] seven, six...
1151
00:58:13,824 --> 00:58:16,325
[chris] deep six
is gonna pull off the upset
1152
00:58:16,327 --> 00:58:19,228
And meet ribbot
in the next round.
1153
00:58:19,230 --> 00:58:22,498
[referee] two, one. It's over.
1154
00:58:22,500 --> 00:58:24,199
-[buzzer sounds]
-[bleep]
1155
00:58:27,304 --> 00:58:28,971
[chris] listen to the crowd
giving it up
1156
00:58:28,973 --> 00:58:31,406
For dustin esswein's crew.
1157
00:58:31,508 --> 00:58:32,608
[dustin] woo!
1158
00:58:32,709 --> 00:58:34,109
[crowd cheering]
1159
00:58:34,111 --> 00:58:35,811
[kenny] team shatter!
Maybe thinking
1160
00:58:35,813 --> 00:58:37,746
They shouldn't have been
counted out there.
1161
00:58:37,748 --> 00:58:39,014
He was spinning in circles.
1162
00:58:40,518 --> 00:58:42,384
[chris] that's eric wrigley
of shatter!
1163
00:58:42,386 --> 00:58:44,419
Almost shattering our glass
1164
00:58:44,421 --> 00:58:46,121
No points for damage
on that one.
1165
00:58:48,626 --> 00:58:50,826
Well, kenny, dustin esswein
1166
00:58:50,895 --> 00:58:53,328
Traded out a few of his
navy seal buddies
1167
00:58:53,330 --> 00:58:56,431
For more engineers
on his pit crew
1168
00:58:56,467 --> 00:58:58,700
And boy did it
pay off dividends.
1169
00:58:58,702 --> 00:59:02,037
[kenny] 100%.
Defeating an experienced tea
1170
00:59:02,039 --> 00:59:04,907
Like team shatter!
Is a huge feather in his cap
1171
00:59:06,010 --> 00:59:08,610
[chris] major props
to deep six.
1172
00:59:08,712 --> 00:59:11,313
It was one massive shot
after the next
1173
00:59:11,315 --> 00:59:12,915
And here comes the big one.
1174
00:59:12,917 --> 00:59:14,650
-Wow!
-[kenny laughs]
1175
00:59:14,652 --> 00:59:17,185
[chris] deep six survived,
shatter! Was reeling
1176
00:59:17,187 --> 00:59:21,056
And I don't know
what movie team
shatter! Was watching
1177
00:59:21,058 --> 00:59:24,826
But this fight was
o-v-e-r, over!
1178
00:59:24,828 --> 00:59:26,228
[indistinct conversation]
1179
00:59:27,965 --> 00:59:29,097
Thank you.
1180
00:59:29,099 --> 00:59:31,300
[chris] dustin esswein's fac
says it all.
1181
00:59:31,401 --> 00:59:34,603
This was a shocking victory
for deep six but hey,
1182
00:59:34,605 --> 00:59:35,971
There's no time to celebrat
1183
00:59:35,973 --> 00:59:38,307
As his team
now sprints back to the pit
1184
00:59:38,309 --> 00:59:42,678
To get set
for their third round fight
with the mighty ribbot.
1185
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,581
[kenny] I mean, deep six
absolutely dominated
that fight,
1186
00:59:45,583 --> 00:59:47,049
Like, it wasn't even close.
1187
00:59:47,051 --> 00:59:48,717
Their weapon
was hitting so hard.
1188
00:59:48,719 --> 00:59:50,786
Amazing performance
from that team.
1189
00:59:50,788 --> 00:59:52,421
[chris] they are halfway hom
1190
00:59:52,423 --> 00:59:56,525
Toward getting a shot
at winning the golden bolt.
1191
00:59:56,527 --> 00:59:59,127
Coming up we have
our final tournament match u
1192
00:59:59,129 --> 01:00:02,631
Who's gonna come out on top
and earn a fight
with lock-jaw?
1193
01:00:02,666 --> 01:00:07,202
Find out next on battlebots
champions sin city slugfest.
1194
01:00:17,014 --> 01:00:20,816
[chris] we are back on
battlebots champions
sin city slugfest.
1195
01:00:20,818 --> 01:00:23,986
It is the final between
deep six and ribbot.
1196
01:00:23,988 --> 01:00:26,321
The winner of this match
will face lock-jaw
1197
01:00:26,423 --> 01:00:31,526
For the right to join
the field of champions
in the golden bolt tournamen
1198
01:00:31,595 --> 01:00:33,195
Now, earlier these two squad
1199
01:00:33,197 --> 01:00:36,598
Were working feverishly
to get set for this fight.
1200
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,401
Remember, these turn arounds
they're lightning fast.
1201
01:00:39,403 --> 01:00:41,603
It'll take some heroic work
in the pits
1202
01:00:41,672 --> 01:00:43,305
To overcome
this brutal bracket
1203
01:00:43,374 --> 01:00:48,377
And tonight's gatekeeper
donald hutson and lock-jaw.
1204
01:00:48,379 --> 01:00:51,113
Okay, let's start with ribbo
and david jin.
1205
01:00:51,214 --> 01:00:55,117
Is it always about
which weapon they pick
on their modular bot?
1206
01:00:55,218 --> 01:00:56,818
-[frog croaks]
-[kenny] well,
I do think it matters
1207
01:00:56,854 --> 01:00:58,520
Depending on what robot
they're going against, yeah
1208
01:00:58,522 --> 01:01:00,822
I would imagine
they're gonna go with
the under cutter here,
1209
01:01:00,858 --> 01:01:02,524
But, again,
whatever weapon they have,
1210
01:01:02,526 --> 01:01:05,327
They're gonna hit hard
and they're gonna
drive aggressively.
1211
01:01:05,395 --> 01:01:06,962
And the weapon
that dustin esswein
1212
01:01:06,964 --> 01:01:08,630
And deep six are bringing
to the party these days,
1213
01:01:08,732 --> 01:01:12,801
It's not as big
as it was back in 2019
when we last saw them
1214
01:01:12,870 --> 01:01:14,469
But it is effective.
1215
01:01:14,471 --> 01:01:16,805
[kenny] yeah, absolutely.
I think dialing down
on that size,
1216
01:01:16,807 --> 01:01:18,206
Dialing down on that power
1217
01:01:18,208 --> 01:01:20,075
Has given it
much better stability.
1218
01:01:20,077 --> 01:01:22,077
It's way more consistent,
it's hitting harder
1219
01:01:22,079 --> 01:01:24,012
And they're last fight
against shatter!
1220
01:01:24,014 --> 01:01:25,814
Was just amazing.
1221
01:01:25,916 --> 01:01:30,819
Winner takes on lock-jaw.
Let's find out who it'll be.
Faruq!
1222
01:01:30,888 --> 01:01:32,287
[crowd cheering]
1223
01:01:34,024 --> 01:01:38,927
In the red square...
They say, "virginia
is for lovers,"
1224
01:01:38,929 --> 01:01:40,796
And that slogan makes sense
1225
01:01:40,798 --> 01:01:43,298
Because, "virginia
is for murderous robots,"
1226
01:01:43,300 --> 01:01:45,100
Is just too intense,
1227
01:01:45,102 --> 01:01:47,069
But if y'all are trying to
grow tourism,
1228
01:01:47,071 --> 01:01:48,704
Let me help on your behalf.
1229
01:01:48,772 --> 01:01:50,906
This bot can double
the amount of tourists
1230
01:01:50,908 --> 01:01:53,709
When he slices them in half.
1231
01:01:53,711 --> 01:01:57,379
Give it up for deep six!
1232
01:01:57,381 --> 01:01:58,580
[crowd cheering]
1233
01:02:03,187 --> 01:02:05,754
[chris] deep six
won a decision against huge
1234
01:02:05,756 --> 01:02:08,824
Knocked out shatter!,
now facing ribbot.
1235
01:02:08,925 --> 01:02:12,027
We could be looking at
one of the most impressive
one day runs
1236
01:02:12,029 --> 01:02:13,962
This sport has ever seen.
1237
01:02:13,964 --> 01:02:16,098
[kenny] no question.
Whatever ring rust they had
1238
01:02:16,100 --> 01:02:18,800
Has been sufficiently
shook here tonight.
1239
01:02:18,902 --> 01:02:20,035
Ribbot is clearly
1240
01:02:20,037 --> 01:02:21,770
Their toughest
opponent so far,
1241
01:02:21,772 --> 01:02:25,907
But as always
they have the power
to end this fight in a hurry
1242
01:02:30,581 --> 01:02:33,014
[faruq] in the blue square...
1243
01:02:33,016 --> 01:02:37,219
For this intro I googled,
"fun facts about frogs."
1244
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:38,754
Now, let me begin.
1245
01:02:38,756 --> 01:02:39,988
Did you know
they don't have lungs?
1246
01:02:39,990 --> 01:02:41,389
They actually breathe
through their skin.
1247
01:02:41,391 --> 01:02:42,491
They come
in all sorts of colors
1248
01:02:42,493 --> 01:02:43,725
From green to yellow to white
1249
01:02:43,761 --> 01:02:44,826
And how's this for impressive?
1250
01:02:44,828 --> 01:02:46,495
Many can jump twenty-times
their height.
1251
01:02:46,497 --> 01:02:48,296
There are over 4,700
species of frogs.
1252
01:02:48,298 --> 01:02:49,531
There used to be millions
1253
01:02:49,533 --> 01:02:51,266
But then this bot
showed up at the pond
1254
01:02:51,268 --> 01:02:53,602
And started to kill them.
1255
01:02:53,604 --> 01:02:56,972
Give it up for ribbot!
1256
01:02:56,974 --> 01:02:58,206
[crowd cheering]
1257
01:02:59,209 --> 01:03:01,109
[chris laughs]
1258
01:03:01,111 --> 01:03:03,278
Faruq never fails to impress
1259
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:04,846
Way to go, my man.
1260
01:03:04,848 --> 01:03:06,982
Team ribbot
came into the night
as the favorite, kenny,
1261
01:03:06,984 --> 01:03:09,518
And they've certainly
lived up to that billing.
1262
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,186
[kenny] yeah,
they've been calculated,
1263
01:03:11,188 --> 01:03:12,721
They've been aggressive
1264
01:03:12,723 --> 01:03:14,055
And as I predicted
1265
01:03:14,057 --> 01:03:16,458
They've gone with
their under cutter here.
1266
01:03:16,460 --> 01:03:18,593
One thing we know
about deep six,
1267
01:03:18,595 --> 01:03:22,230
If you can get under it
there's a great chance
they flip over
1268
01:03:22,332 --> 01:03:24,699
And potentially
destroy themselves.
1269
01:03:34,812 --> 01:03:36,511
They're an extremely tough
machine.
1270
01:03:36,513 --> 01:03:38,580
Probably one of the best
driven machines
1271
01:03:38,582 --> 01:03:40,182
That we've ever had to face.
1272
01:03:40,184 --> 01:03:41,716
I'm gonna try
to keep facing them
1273
01:03:41,818 --> 01:03:44,119
And keep trying to
chase them down
the whole time.
1274
01:03:44,221 --> 01:03:45,287
I think that
they're really gonna
1275
01:03:45,289 --> 01:03:48,523
Take my gyroscopic precession
to advantage.
1276
01:03:48,625 --> 01:03:51,126
I'm just gonna keep turning,
keep spinning up
the weapon
1277
01:03:51,128 --> 01:03:52,561
And keep trying to hit them.
1278
01:03:52,563 --> 01:03:54,029
So, we're confident
in the robot.
1279
01:03:54,031 --> 01:03:56,031
It's honestly
gonna come down a lot to me
1280
01:03:56,033 --> 01:03:57,566
And how well I drive it.
1281
01:03:57,568 --> 01:04:00,101
We hoping that
we can utilize the fact that
1282
01:04:00,103 --> 01:04:02,170
They have a ton
of gyroscopic precession
1283
01:04:02,172 --> 01:04:03,939
To kind of outdrive them.
1284
01:04:03,941 --> 01:04:05,373
We really wanna avoid
getting hit directly
1285
01:04:05,375 --> 01:04:07,776
By that massive bar.
1286
01:04:07,778 --> 01:04:09,477
So, if all goes to plan
we'll hopefully
1287
01:04:09,479 --> 01:04:11,112
Only be hitting wheels
this whole match
1288
01:04:11,181 --> 01:04:12,814
And it should be
quick and easy.
1289
01:04:12,816 --> 01:04:15,083
The mobility of ribbot
will be really important
for this match.
1290
01:04:15,085 --> 01:04:16,952
That's why
we decided to go with
our under cutter attachment.
1291
01:04:16,954 --> 01:04:19,054
It has no forks or anything
1292
01:04:19,056 --> 01:04:20,121
To impede us on the floor
1293
01:04:20,123 --> 01:04:21,723
And we'll be able
to maximize our mobility.
1294
01:04:34,304 --> 01:04:37,105
[crowd chanting] fight!
Fight! Fight!
1295
01:04:49,786 --> 01:04:52,387
[chris] let the bot battle
begin.
1296
01:04:52,389 --> 01:04:55,323
Deep six takes a deep momen
of reflection.
1297
01:04:55,392 --> 01:04:57,058
[kenny] om.
1298
01:04:57,060 --> 01:04:58,493
[chris] now pointing
that blade at the frog.
1299
01:04:58,495 --> 01:05:01,496
Deep six trying to stay
squared up.
1300
01:05:01,498 --> 01:05:02,898
Ribbot might have
missed an opportunity
1301
01:05:02,900 --> 01:05:04,565
To get under him.
1302
01:05:04,567 --> 01:05:06,935
[kenny] yeah, looks like
they were trying to attack
from the side.
1303
01:05:06,937 --> 01:05:08,803
Obviously showing
great respect
1304
01:05:08,805 --> 01:05:10,772
For that weapon on deep six
1305
01:05:10,774 --> 01:05:13,975
And you see deep six
having a gy-roll there where
1306
01:05:13,977 --> 01:05:15,243
[chris] uh-oh!
1307
01:05:15,245 --> 01:05:17,712
[kenny] take advantage...
Nice shot there by deep six
1308
01:05:17,714 --> 01:05:20,949
[chris] yeah and that face
is already done in.
1309
01:05:20,951 --> 01:05:24,419
It's a face only a mother fr
could love at this point.
1310
01:05:24,488 --> 01:05:26,922
[kenny] dustin esswein
doing an incredible job
1311
01:05:26,924 --> 01:05:29,424
Keeping deep six
squared up to ribbot here,
1312
01:05:29,526 --> 01:05:31,826
Keeping david jin at bay.
1313
01:05:31,828 --> 01:05:33,995
[chris] and ribbot
just cannot get around.
1314
01:05:33,997 --> 01:05:36,131
Ribbot rolls over
one of the legs.
1315
01:05:36,199 --> 01:05:38,300
[kenny] oh, there they go.
They're looking for
that side.
1316
01:05:38,368 --> 01:05:39,367
[chris] yeah. Oh, they misse
1317
01:05:39,369 --> 01:05:40,601
They overshot the runway,
kenny.
1318
01:05:40,603 --> 01:05:41,970
[kenny] yeah,
they're trying to cut throug
1319
01:05:41,972 --> 01:05:45,073
On those stabilizing legs
on the side of deep six.
1320
01:05:45,075 --> 01:05:47,108
[chris] trying
to avoid the middle.
1321
01:05:47,110 --> 01:05:48,910
To say that big blade
is a deterrent
1322
01:05:48,912 --> 01:05:50,478
Is an understatement.
1323
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,214
One shot form that thing
could certainly
end this fight.
1324
01:05:54,718 --> 01:05:56,318
[kenny] we've got
a standoff here.
1325
01:05:56,386 --> 01:05:58,987
Which one of these bots
is going to flinch first?
1326
01:05:58,989 --> 01:06:00,922
[chris] the tension
building in the arena
1327
01:06:00,924 --> 01:06:04,392
As these fans wait
for the next big exchange.
1328
01:06:04,394 --> 01:06:06,328
[kenny] ribbot
staying patient.
1329
01:06:06,330 --> 01:06:07,429
[chris] at some point
1330
01:06:07,530 --> 01:06:08,897
Somebody's gonna have to
make the move
1331
01:06:08,899 --> 01:06:10,465
And that's gotta be ribbot.
1332
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:12,500
[chris and kenny] oh!
1333
01:06:13,904 --> 01:06:16,204
Nice! Go in, go in, go in!
1334
01:06:16,273 --> 01:06:18,573
[chris] what a sensational
move
1335
01:06:18,575 --> 01:06:20,375
And now back under it.
1336
01:06:20,377 --> 01:06:22,177
[kenny] oh!
1337
01:06:22,179 --> 01:06:27,315
[chris] unbelievable
as ribbot has got deep six
pinned against the screws.
1338
01:06:27,417 --> 01:06:31,886
[kenny] and look at this,
ribbot missing a wheel
on that left-front side.
1339
01:06:31,888 --> 01:06:34,422
[chris] can deep six
wiggle out of here?
1340
01:06:34,424 --> 01:06:36,558
Ribbot threatening
with that under cutter.
1341
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:38,927
Oh, the grind.
1342
01:06:38,929 --> 01:06:43,965
[kenny] dustin esswein escap
but ribbot took a wheel
off deep six there.
1343
01:06:43,967 --> 01:06:46,167
[chris] deep six is hobbled
after that sequence.
1344
01:06:47,938 --> 01:06:50,805
Ribbot
surveying the territory.
1345
01:06:50,807 --> 01:06:53,775
A minute left to go
in this high-stakes fight.
1346
01:06:53,777 --> 01:06:56,177
Winner moves on
to face lock-jaw.
1347
01:06:56,179 --> 01:06:58,413
Both bots have taken damage
1348
01:06:58,515 --> 01:06:59,881
Operating on one less wheel
1349
01:06:59,883 --> 01:07:02,317
Than they started
the match with.
1350
01:07:02,319 --> 01:07:06,888
Kenny, ribbot back hanging,
perhaps waiting for
a count out here.
1351
01:07:06,890 --> 01:07:09,057
Can they afford
not to attack, though?
1352
01:07:09,059 --> 01:07:10,558
[kenny] well, deep six
1353
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,695
Clearly showing
enough movement
to avoid a count out.
1354
01:07:13,697 --> 01:07:14,963
Ribbot cannot assume
1355
01:07:14,965 --> 01:07:16,698
They're ahead
on the scorecards here
1356
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:18,400
And if they don't
try and engage
1357
01:07:18,468 --> 01:07:21,169
It could really hurt them
in the aggression category
1358
01:07:21,171 --> 01:07:23,004
If this goes to the judges.
1359
01:07:23,006 --> 01:07:25,106
[chris] deep six
trying to sticker the fight
1360
01:07:25,108 --> 01:07:26,975
[referee] you gotta show me
you can move.
1361
01:07:26,977 --> 01:07:28,476
[chris] but the ref
is issuing a warning.
1362
01:07:28,478 --> 01:07:30,311
And here comes that countdow
1363
01:07:30,313 --> 01:07:32,614
[referee] ten, nine, eight,
seven...
1364
01:07:32,616 --> 01:07:35,116
[chris] dustin esswein
with a look of despair
1365
01:07:35,118 --> 01:07:37,619
Because his season
is about to end.
1366
01:07:37,621 --> 01:07:39,888
[referee] one! Knockout!
1367
01:07:39,890 --> 01:07:41,523
[buzzer sounds]
1368
01:07:41,624 --> 01:07:44,325
[chris] ribbot is moving on
to face lock-jaw.
1369
01:07:46,296 --> 01:07:48,329
[kenny whistles]
patience pays off.
1370
01:07:50,767 --> 01:07:54,035
[chris] kenny, this was lik
a wild west showdown
1371
01:07:54,037 --> 01:07:57,305
To start and it was deep si
who struck first.
1372
01:07:57,307 --> 01:07:59,107
[kenny] yeah, pinned ribbot
against the rail
1373
01:07:59,209 --> 01:08:02,977
And look at that,
ripped its face off. Wow.
1374
01:08:02,979 --> 01:08:05,280
But ribbot shook it off
and used its speed
1375
01:08:05,282 --> 01:08:08,416
To get behind deep six
for the pivotal shot.
1376
01:08:10,220 --> 01:08:11,319
Woo!
1377
01:08:11,387 --> 01:08:13,054
[chris] deep six
going for a ride
1378
01:08:13,056 --> 01:08:15,390
Courtesy of its own
80-lb weapon
1379
01:08:15,392 --> 01:08:17,325
And then ribbot finished it
1380
01:08:17,427 --> 01:08:20,228
By jamming him against
the screws and the rails
1381
01:08:20,330 --> 01:08:23,798
And then just gnawing
on that tiny wheel.
1382
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,701
[kenny] credit
to dustin esswein
for a hell of a fight,
1383
01:08:26,770 --> 01:08:29,971
But this was a masterclass
in patience from ribbot.
1384
01:08:29,973 --> 01:08:32,574
David jin
stuck to his game plan
1385
01:08:32,576 --> 01:08:35,110
And deep six
was stuck to the floor.
1386
01:08:37,881 --> 01:08:39,514
Got a little bit too close
to the middle.
1387
01:08:39,516 --> 01:08:41,082
That got real spooky.
1388
01:08:41,084 --> 01:08:43,585
[chris] david jin...
1389
01:08:43,587 --> 01:08:46,821
Man, you have more patience
than the two of us.
1390
01:08:46,823 --> 01:08:48,823
-[laughs]
-we're like,
"when's he going in?"
1391
01:08:48,825 --> 01:08:49,891
"when's he going..."
1392
01:08:49,893 --> 01:08:51,626
Was it difficult
to hold back there?
1393
01:08:51,694 --> 01:08:53,228
Yeah, I mean, well,
it's not that difficult.
1394
01:08:53,329 --> 01:08:54,629
We're pretty scared
of deep six's weapon
1395
01:08:54,631 --> 01:08:56,498
So we didn't really wanna risk
getting hit by that.
1396
01:08:56,500 --> 01:08:59,100
Dustin did a really, really
good job controlling the gyro
1397
01:08:59,102 --> 01:09:00,267
And staying on us.
1398
01:09:00,269 --> 01:09:03,204
He never over turned.
He never turned too little.
1399
01:09:03,206 --> 01:09:05,573
Given how uncontrollable
deep six sometimes can be,
1400
01:09:05,575 --> 01:09:08,276
I think that's huge props
to dustin there.
1401
01:09:08,278 --> 01:09:09,677
[crowd cheering]
1402
01:09:09,679 --> 01:09:11,613
I waited as long as I could.
He wasn't giving me
an opening
1403
01:09:11,714 --> 01:09:15,583
So eventually
we had to kind of go
a little extra aggressive.
1404
01:09:15,585 --> 01:09:16,918
All right, so,
now you've won three fights.
1405
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:19,320
The goal tonight
is to win four.
1406
01:09:19,322 --> 01:09:22,824
You ready to face a legend
in lock-jaw and donald hutson?
1407
01:09:22,826 --> 01:09:26,027
Oh, yeah. We're ready.
1408
01:09:26,029 --> 01:09:27,228
Yeah!
1409
01:09:29,966 --> 01:09:32,500
[chris] you're not scared
of the legend?
1410
01:09:32,502 --> 01:09:34,402
I mean...
I think I said this last year.
1411
01:09:34,404 --> 01:09:37,405
You can't always
drive in fear so no,
not really.
1412
01:09:37,473 --> 01:09:39,607
-Ah, okay.
-I like that.
1413
01:09:39,676 --> 01:09:42,210
We'll see you
in the gold bolt qualifier.
1414
01:09:42,312 --> 01:09:43,611
-Congrats, david.
-Thank you.
1415
01:09:45,081 --> 01:09:46,181
[crowd cheering]
1416
01:09:53,390 --> 01:09:54,956
[chris] there you have it.
1417
01:09:54,958 --> 01:09:57,725
Ribbot will move on
to the golden bolt qualifie
1418
01:09:57,794 --> 01:10:01,796
And face tonight's gatekeepe
lock-jaw.
1419
01:10:01,798 --> 01:10:04,666
And I'll tell you, kenny,
even though deep six's run
ends here
1420
01:10:04,668 --> 01:10:07,168
They put on
one hell of a show.
1421
01:10:07,170 --> 01:10:08,669
[kenny] and they
basically accumulated
1422
01:10:08,738 --> 01:10:12,207
A full season's worth
of experience here
in just one night
1423
01:10:12,308 --> 01:10:14,075
With their 2-1 record.
1424
01:10:14,077 --> 01:10:16,711
I can't wait to see
what they bring to the tabl
1425
01:10:16,780 --> 01:10:20,315
In next season's
world championship.
1426
01:10:20,317 --> 01:10:21,683
[chris] all right,
coming up...
1427
01:10:21,685 --> 01:10:23,418
They have run the gauntlet,
they have won the tournament
1428
01:10:23,519 --> 01:10:25,186
Now they have to
take down a legend
1429
01:10:25,188 --> 01:10:27,121
To earn a shot
at the golden bolt.
1430
01:10:27,190 --> 01:10:33,228
Ribbot, lock-jaw, it is nex
on battlebots champions
sin city slugfest.
1431
01:10:39,302 --> 01:10:43,304
[faruq] it's lock-jaw!
[echoes]
1432
01:10:43,306 --> 01:10:44,606
[donald] it's quite honorabl
1433
01:10:44,608 --> 01:10:47,375
To be chosen
to be one of the legends
1434
01:10:47,377 --> 01:10:49,077
But that's not enough.
1435
01:10:49,079 --> 01:10:51,412
[chris and kenny] oh!
1436
01:10:51,414 --> 01:10:53,815
[chris] no mercy
from lock-jaw.
1437
01:10:53,850 --> 01:10:56,284
Lock-jaw is one of
the legendary bots
of the sport.
1438
01:10:56,286 --> 01:10:59,821
[chris] whoa! Lock-jaw
has gone right at him.
1439
01:10:59,823 --> 01:11:01,823
[david] donald has been arou
for a long time.
1440
01:11:01,825 --> 01:11:04,325
He's been competing in this
longer than some of our
teammates have been alive.
1441
01:11:04,394 --> 01:11:07,095
[chris] donald hutson
the legend!
1442
01:11:07,097 --> 01:11:09,297
Lock-jaw's incredible.
I mean, we've all been
watching him
1443
01:11:09,299 --> 01:11:10,465
Since we were kids.
1444
01:11:10,467 --> 01:11:12,100
Donald hutson is a legend.
1445
01:11:12,168 --> 01:11:14,802
Bundles and bundles
of respect for donald.
1446
01:11:14,804 --> 01:11:17,171
He's one of the best builder
probably in the history
of the sport.
1447
01:11:17,173 --> 01:11:19,207
[bunny] lock-jaw
is not just configurable
1448
01:11:19,209 --> 01:11:21,909
But it's also
perfectly beautiful.
1449
01:11:21,911 --> 01:11:24,979
[chris] whoa! What a shot!
1450
01:11:24,981 --> 01:11:27,615
Unbelievable,
the driving by donald hutson
1451
01:11:27,684 --> 01:11:29,284
He's ruthless.
1452
01:11:41,965 --> 01:11:43,197
[crowd cheering]
1453
01:11:43,199 --> 01:11:44,599
[chris] we are back
on battlebots,
1454
01:11:44,601 --> 01:11:49,470
The golden bolt qualifier
between ribbot
and lock-jaw
1455
01:11:49,472 --> 01:11:52,106
And of course lock-jaw
checks all the boxes here.
1456
01:11:52,175 --> 01:11:55,176
They won a bounty tournament
they won the desperado
1457
01:11:55,178 --> 01:11:56,611
And when you look at
lock-jaw's
1458
01:11:56,613 --> 01:11:58,713
Overall body of work
in this sport,
1459
01:11:58,715 --> 01:12:01,816
Few are more deserving
of this position
as gatekeeper,
1460
01:12:01,918 --> 01:12:04,886
But despite all of
donald's accolades
and accomplishments,
1461
01:12:04,888 --> 01:12:06,187
He wants nothing more
1462
01:12:06,189 --> 01:12:08,489
Than to add the golden bolt
to his trophy case.
1463
01:12:09,859 --> 01:12:11,125
[kenny] absolutely.
1464
01:12:11,127 --> 01:12:15,530
Donald has been a titan
in this sport for 25 years.
1465
01:12:15,631 --> 01:12:17,598
David jin is only 23.
1466
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:19,067
So, you can do the math here
1467
01:12:19,069 --> 01:12:22,603
Experience obviously
is on team lock-jaw's side,
1468
01:12:22,605 --> 01:12:24,872
But last season
was a struggle.
1469
01:12:24,874 --> 01:12:25,940
Donald missed out
1470
01:12:25,942 --> 01:12:27,408
On the world championship
tournament
1471
01:12:27,477 --> 01:12:30,078
For the first time
in his battlebots caree
1472
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,113
And he is
out for redemption here
1473
01:12:32,115 --> 01:12:34,048
In the sin city slugfest.
1474
01:12:36,519 --> 01:12:37,885
[chris] but this is gonna b
a real challenge
1475
01:12:37,887 --> 01:12:40,188
Because ribbot,
engineered by david jin,
1476
01:12:40,190 --> 01:12:42,990
What a remarkable 2021 seaso
they had.
1477
01:12:42,992 --> 01:12:44,759
Perfect regular season,
1478
01:12:44,827 --> 01:12:48,429
Ended up being the number tw
overall seed heading into
the round of 32.
1479
01:12:48,498 --> 01:12:52,867
Their early exit
at the hands of hydra
was a tough bug to swallow,
1480
01:12:52,869 --> 01:12:54,402
But they've
picked up the pieces
1481
01:12:54,504 --> 01:12:57,105
And taken out
their ribbity rage
on tonight's opponents
1482
01:12:57,107 --> 01:13:02,510
And now they're
only one win away
from a shot at immortality.
1483
01:13:02,612 --> 01:13:04,946
[kenny] ribbot is the ultima
swiss army bot.
1484
01:13:04,948 --> 01:13:09,417
Like a true amphibian
it is endlessly adaptable
1485
01:13:09,419 --> 01:13:11,486
So there's no question
that tonight's performance
1486
01:13:11,488 --> 01:13:16,124
Has solidified ribbot's stat
as a rising superstar
in this sport,
1487
01:13:16,192 --> 01:13:18,593
But we know
they won't be satisfied
1488
01:13:18,595 --> 01:13:20,628
Until they are crowned
a champion.
1489
01:13:21,998 --> 01:13:23,064
[chris] can ribbot
1490
01:13:23,066 --> 01:13:25,466
Make the biggest leap
of its career?
1491
01:13:25,468 --> 01:13:28,403
Or will lock-jaw
join the field of champions
1492
01:13:28,504 --> 01:13:30,505
And potentially
takes its place
1493
01:13:30,507 --> 01:13:33,307
On the mount rushmore
of battlebots greats?
1494
01:13:34,511 --> 01:13:37,578
Let's get to it. Faruq.
1495
01:13:37,580 --> 01:13:38,813
[crowd cheering]
1496
01:13:41,885 --> 01:13:46,487
[faruq] ladies and gentlemen,
are you ready?
1497
01:13:52,128 --> 01:13:56,931
It's time for the main event.
1498
01:14:10,613 --> 01:14:12,380
In the red square...
1499
01:14:12,382 --> 01:14:14,315
They say you have to
kiss a lot of frogs
1500
01:14:14,317 --> 01:14:15,950
Before you meet your prince,
1501
01:14:15,952 --> 01:14:19,387
But get to close to this frog
and you'll lose your lips.
1502
01:14:19,389 --> 01:14:21,122
This ain't a fairy tale,
mother goose.
1503
01:14:21,224 --> 01:14:25,226
You've got something to dread
because you can't live
happily ever after
1504
01:14:25,295 --> 01:14:27,495
If you're already dead.
1505
01:14:27,497 --> 01:14:29,931
It's ribbot!
1506
01:14:29,933 --> 01:14:31,032
[crowd cheering]
1507
01:14:36,005 --> 01:14:37,405
Yeah!
1508
01:14:37,507 --> 01:14:39,006
[chris] already tonight,
victories over
1509
01:14:39,008 --> 01:14:42,076
Double jeopardy, malice
and deep six
1510
01:14:42,078 --> 01:14:46,681
Has david jin and ribbot
right on the cusp of fightin
for the golden bolt.
1511
01:14:46,683 --> 01:14:48,282
It's been through the ringe
but, man,
1512
01:14:48,284 --> 01:14:50,818
That bot
looks in tip-top shape.
1513
01:14:50,820 --> 01:14:52,153
[kenny] yeah, it sure does
1514
01:14:52,155 --> 01:14:54,121
And once again they've gone
with the under cutter.
1515
01:14:54,223 --> 01:14:56,591
They'll have a tough time
outdriving donald,
1516
01:14:56,593 --> 01:14:59,794
Who's as good as they come,
so to me this weapon choice
1517
01:14:59,796 --> 01:15:03,598
Screams that david jin
wants to chew up
lock-jaw's tires.
1518
01:15:09,005 --> 01:15:10,872
[faruq] in the blue square...
1519
01:15:10,874 --> 01:15:13,207
This guy is from
southern california,
1520
01:15:13,209 --> 01:15:15,209
Like ice cube and Friday
1521
01:15:15,278 --> 01:15:18,946
And he'll deebo your butt
if you look at him sideways.
1522
01:15:18,948 --> 01:15:22,083
When he charges up that weapon
and hits you with a slam
1523
01:15:22,085 --> 01:15:27,221
The whole crowd here in vegas
will be like, "damn!"
1524
01:15:27,223 --> 01:15:30,725
Give it up for lock-jaw!
1525
01:15:34,797 --> 01:15:37,665
[chris] there he is.
1526
01:15:37,667 --> 01:15:40,067
Donald hutson and lock-jaw.
1527
01:15:40,069 --> 01:15:42,937
They are tonight's big bosse
and let's be honest,
1528
01:15:42,939 --> 01:15:47,875
This man is a golden god
and wants the golden bolt
more than anything.
1529
01:15:47,877 --> 01:15:49,477
Kenny, what do you see?
1530
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,145
[kenny] well,
he loves running that plow
1531
01:15:51,147 --> 01:15:54,715
On the back of lock-jaw
to try to slow down
horizontal spinners
1532
01:15:54,817 --> 01:15:56,284
And that's what
he's gone with here.
1533
01:15:56,286 --> 01:15:58,986
And of course he's got that
heavy-duty vertical spinner
1534
01:15:58,988 --> 01:16:00,621
That packs so much power.
1535
01:16:00,623 --> 01:16:02,523
This is donald's
chance to prove
1536
01:16:02,525 --> 01:16:05,393
He is still
one of the best in the world
1537
01:16:08,998 --> 01:16:11,766
[crowd chanting] lock-jaw!
Lock-jaw! Lock-jaw!
1538
01:16:13,303 --> 01:16:14,402
Lock-jaw's
one of the unique bots
1539
01:16:14,470 --> 01:16:16,103
That can prepare
for both a vertical spinner
1540
01:16:16,172 --> 01:16:17,371
And a horizontal spinner
1541
01:16:17,373 --> 01:16:19,307
'cause while they're running
the rear plow
1542
01:16:19,309 --> 01:16:21,409
They can also
run their forks
on the other side.
1543
01:16:21,411 --> 01:16:24,211
I think he has the experience
to be ready for us,
1544
01:16:24,213 --> 01:16:26,280
Although no one is ever
truly ready for the frog,
1545
01:16:26,282 --> 01:16:28,182
So we'll have to see.
1546
01:16:28,184 --> 01:16:31,319
I think what you'll see
is us come out
1547
01:16:31,321 --> 01:16:34,322
And try a little bit
of a defensive strategy
1548
01:16:34,324 --> 01:16:36,223
To get him off
his comfort zone
1549
01:16:36,225 --> 01:16:38,125
And then move in
for the attack.
1550
01:16:38,127 --> 01:16:41,095
Ribbot has definitely
earned his spot
1551
01:16:41,097 --> 01:16:43,030
To come against lock-jaw,
1552
01:16:43,032 --> 01:16:44,532
But this is where
it has to end.
1553
01:16:55,812 --> 01:16:57,945
[robot voice] robots activat
1554
01:16:57,947 --> 01:16:59,280
[crowd cheering]
1555
01:17:09,726 --> 01:17:11,292
[robot voice] red team ready
1556
01:17:13,630 --> 01:17:14,795
[laughs]
1557
01:17:18,601 --> 01:17:20,868
[robot voice] blue team read
1558
01:17:41,224 --> 01:17:42,623
[crowd chanting] fight!
Fight! Fight!
1559
01:17:42,692 --> 01:17:44,425
[chris] here we go,
1560
01:17:44,427 --> 01:17:46,594
The golden bolt qualifier.
1561
01:17:46,596 --> 01:17:49,497
Ribbot, lock-jaw.
1562
01:17:49,499 --> 01:17:51,999
Winner
joins the field of champions
1563
01:17:57,373 --> 01:18:00,708
Let the bot battle begin!
1564
01:18:00,710 --> 01:18:01,809
Uh-oh.
1565
01:18:01,877 --> 01:18:04,311
Ribbot going right after
lock-jaw's tires.
1566
01:18:04,313 --> 01:18:05,946
Uh-oh!
1567
01:18:05,948 --> 01:18:08,082
[kenny] donald hutson
trying to slow down
that under cutter
1568
01:18:08,084 --> 01:18:09,517
With that plow on the back.
1569
01:18:09,519 --> 01:18:12,019
[chris] ribbot
trying to overpower lock-jaw
1570
01:18:12,021 --> 01:18:16,490
Oh, nice shot by ribbot
to invert lock-jaw.
1571
01:18:16,492 --> 01:18:19,427
[kenny] they're already
slashing those tires
of lock-jaw, chris.
1572
01:18:19,429 --> 01:18:21,729
[chris] donald hutson
under assault by the frog.
1573
01:18:21,798 --> 01:18:23,597
Can he hang on?
1574
01:18:23,599 --> 01:18:25,966
Ribbot's weapon
just ferocious.
1575
01:18:25,968 --> 01:18:28,402
[kenny] donald hutson
in big time trouble here.
1576
01:18:28,471 --> 01:18:30,905
Not able to self-right.
1577
01:18:30,907 --> 01:18:33,974
[chris] look at that...
The rubber's all chewed up
1578
01:18:33,976 --> 01:18:35,710
Courtesy of that frog.
1579
01:18:35,712 --> 01:18:37,945
[kenny] ribbot
looks so dominant out there
1580
01:18:37,947 --> 01:18:39,413
My goodness.
1581
01:18:39,415 --> 01:18:41,082
[chris] lock-jaw stunned.
1582
01:18:41,084 --> 01:18:43,084
[referee] let me see
if you have control.
1583
01:18:43,086 --> 01:18:44,719
[chris] he cannot move!
1584
01:18:44,820 --> 01:18:46,087
[kenny] oh no.
1585
01:18:46,089 --> 01:18:48,189
If they twitch I'll go in.
1586
01:18:48,191 --> 01:18:49,623
[chris] the countdown is on
1587
01:18:49,625 --> 01:18:52,393
Ribbot has risen up,
run the gauntlet.
1588
01:18:52,395 --> 01:18:55,129
Oh! Ripped right through
tonight's gatekeeper!
1589
01:18:55,231 --> 01:18:57,965
[referee] two, one...
Knockout!
1590
01:18:57,967 --> 01:19:00,000
-[chris] and that will do it
-[buzzer sounds]
1591
01:19:01,404 --> 01:19:06,207
David jin and ribbot
are moving on
1592
01:19:06,209 --> 01:19:09,076
For a chance
at the golden bolt.
1593
01:19:11,614 --> 01:19:14,715
Were you not surprised
by that stick drift? [laughs]
1594
01:19:14,717 --> 01:19:15,983
Thank you, sir.
1595
01:19:17,787 --> 01:19:19,520
[chris] the strategy
by the frog
1596
01:19:19,589 --> 01:19:21,622
Was pretty simple
and effective.
1597
01:19:21,691 --> 01:19:24,325
[kenny] yeah, that's right.
Ribbot went right
for those wheels.
1598
01:19:24,393 --> 01:19:26,093
He had him inverted there.
1599
01:19:26,095 --> 01:19:27,227
He was in a tough spot.
1600
01:19:27,296 --> 01:19:29,563
Got stuck into the battlebo
at one point,
1601
01:19:29,565 --> 01:19:31,732
And ribbot just took
full advantage of that.
1602
01:19:31,801 --> 01:19:33,901
[chris] they went after
one tire, two tire...
1603
01:19:33,903 --> 01:19:36,504
Couple of big flips
and at that point
1604
01:19:36,605 --> 01:19:40,407
Lock-jaw and donald hutson,
one of the legendary driver
in this business
1605
01:19:40,409 --> 01:19:43,010
There was nothing he could d
1606
01:19:43,012 --> 01:19:46,580
Because his bot
has just literally gone flat
1607
01:19:48,117 --> 01:19:51,218
Dude, you know I got that
tokyo drift music on
in my brain.
1608
01:19:51,220 --> 01:19:54,021
-[chris] david jin.
-Hello.
1609
01:19:54,023 --> 01:19:58,125
You just demolished a legend
and rode to
1610
01:19:58,227 --> 01:20:00,294
To a chance to play
for the golden bolt.
1611
01:20:00,296 --> 01:20:01,328
How's that feel?
1612
01:20:01,430 --> 01:20:02,630
Pretty good. Right, guys?
1613
01:20:02,698 --> 01:20:04,098
[together] yeah!
1614
01:20:07,303 --> 01:20:10,037
David, what have you learned
about your weapon this year?
1615
01:20:10,039 --> 01:20:11,872
It seems so ferocious.
1616
01:20:11,874 --> 01:20:14,308
We learned that it hits harder
than it ever has before.
1617
01:20:14,410 --> 01:20:16,977
It also spins up faster
than it ever has before.
1618
01:20:16,979 --> 01:20:18,312
So far, so good.
1619
01:20:20,116 --> 01:20:21,515
-[laughs]
-[crowd cheering]
1620
01:20:23,186 --> 01:20:24,819
David, you went
right for those tires.
1621
01:20:24,821 --> 01:20:27,021
Was that the game plan here?
1622
01:20:27,023 --> 01:20:29,957
Yeah, we knew the rear wedge
was gonna be really tough
to get through
1623
01:20:29,959 --> 01:20:31,725
So we were hoping
to get the tires early on.
1624
01:20:31,794 --> 01:20:33,027
Seems like
we were able to do that.
1625
01:20:33,029 --> 01:20:34,562
It took a little bit
to get around
1626
01:20:34,564 --> 01:20:35,729
To the other side.
1627
01:20:35,731 --> 01:20:37,898
Obviously donald
is a very talented driver,
1628
01:20:37,900 --> 01:20:40,201
But luckily we were
able to get there in the end.
1629
01:20:40,203 --> 01:20:42,203
I know it didn't go your way
as you were searching
1630
01:20:42,205 --> 01:20:46,073
For the giant nut this season,
but now you have a chance
at the golden bolt.
1631
01:20:46,075 --> 01:20:48,042
You have to beat
a bunch of world champions
1632
01:20:48,044 --> 01:20:49,310
In order to get there.
1633
01:20:49,378 --> 01:20:51,212
Are you up for the challenge?
1634
01:20:51,247 --> 01:20:52,479
-I think we are.
-Oh yeah.
1635
01:20:52,481 --> 01:20:53,514
-Yeah?
-Absolutely.
1636
01:20:53,616 --> 01:20:55,816
-Hell yeah.
-[crowd cheering]
1637
01:20:55,818 --> 01:20:57,051
Yeah!
1638
01:20:58,421 --> 01:20:59,753
David jin, keep smiling.
1639
01:20:59,755 --> 01:21:02,223
We'll see you in the race
for the golden bolt.
1640
01:21:02,225 --> 01:21:03,824
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
1641
01:21:11,801 --> 01:21:15,569
[chris] donald,
you're not only
a legend of this sport,
1642
01:21:15,571 --> 01:21:16,804
You're also a fan.
1643
01:21:16,873 --> 01:21:21,308
How impressed are you
with the quality of robots,
1644
01:21:21,310 --> 01:21:22,409
The young minds
1645
01:21:22,411 --> 01:21:24,211
That are in this sport
right now,
1646
01:21:24,213 --> 01:21:27,314
Compared to kind of
where we were
15-20 years ago?
1647
01:21:27,416 --> 01:21:28,382
Oh, there's no doubt
1648
01:21:28,384 --> 01:21:30,117
That the talent
that's coming in now
1649
01:21:30,119 --> 01:21:32,219
Building robots,
especially these young kids,
1650
01:21:32,288 --> 01:21:36,223
They've watched us for years
and they've raised the bar
with all the new technology
1651
01:21:36,292 --> 01:21:38,726
And, you know,
it's getting down to metals
1652
01:21:38,794 --> 01:21:40,427
And, you know, heat treating
1653
01:21:40,496 --> 01:21:42,630
And just arrangement
of the designs
1654
01:21:42,731 --> 01:21:45,266
To be interchangeable
which is what they do well
1655
01:21:45,268 --> 01:21:47,201
And, you know,
my hat's off to them.
1656
01:21:47,203 --> 01:21:48,802
They're keeping up
1657
01:21:48,904 --> 01:21:51,405
And I'm slowly gonna have to
catch my wind
1658
01:21:51,407 --> 01:21:52,673
And get back in there
1659
01:21:52,675 --> 01:21:54,208
If I'm gonna be
competitive, so...
1660
01:21:54,277 --> 01:21:56,310
Great job for them
1661
01:21:56,379 --> 01:21:58,479
And great
to all the other
teams out there
1662
01:21:58,481 --> 01:22:01,815
-Who are entering battlebot
and building cool designs.
-[crowd cheering]
1663
01:22:01,817 --> 01:22:03,117
Always classy.
1664
01:22:03,119 --> 01:22:05,219
We appreciate the way
you represent the sport.
1665
01:22:05,287 --> 01:22:06,320
You are one of a kind.
1666
01:22:06,389 --> 01:22:08,322
Donald hutson and lock-jaw,
thank you.
1667
01:22:08,391 --> 01:22:09,790
Thank you.
1668
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:18,565
[chris] kenny,
1669
01:22:18,567 --> 01:22:20,067
We talked about it
before the fight.
1670
01:22:20,135 --> 01:22:24,171
This was a chance for ribbot
to kind of put their stamp
on the sport.
1671
01:22:24,173 --> 01:22:25,405
They absolutely did that.
1672
01:22:25,407 --> 01:22:26,940
I mean,
that was a flawless
performance out there.
1673
01:22:26,942 --> 01:22:30,678
[chris] so, here's a look
at the golden bolt
tournament field.
1674
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:34,581
Ribbot has secured its spot
joining giant nut winners
1675
01:22:34,583 --> 01:22:38,085
Tombstone, end game
and tantrum
1676
01:22:38,087 --> 01:22:41,221
And last week's
slugfest champion, hypershoc
1677
01:22:41,290 --> 01:22:43,090
How're you liking
ribbot's chances, kenny?
1678
01:22:43,092 --> 01:22:45,326
[kenny] well,
after tonight's showing,
1679
01:22:45,394 --> 01:22:49,430
Not even the world champs
will look forward to a figh
with the frog.
1680
01:22:49,498 --> 01:22:50,998
[chris] and we heard
donald hutson say
1681
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:52,666
The sport is in a great plac
1682
01:22:52,668 --> 01:22:54,101
And they gotta kinda
pick up their game.
1683
01:22:54,170 --> 01:22:56,170
He admitted as much
right here.
1684
01:22:56,172 --> 01:22:58,706
Yeah, listen,
I think combat's
one of those things.
1685
01:22:58,708 --> 01:23:00,708
If you're not getting better,
you're getting worse
1686
01:23:00,809 --> 01:23:03,377
And part of what makes
donald a legend
1687
01:23:03,379 --> 01:23:05,813
Is his ability
to learn from those losses
1688
01:23:05,881 --> 01:23:07,047
And bounce right back.
1689
01:23:08,217 --> 01:23:11,051
[chris] next week
another batch of contenders
1690
01:23:11,053 --> 01:23:13,554
Will put it all on the line
to join ribbot
1691
01:23:13,556 --> 01:23:17,024
In the golden bolt tournamen
1692
01:23:17,026 --> 01:23:21,929
For faruq, our bot whisperer,
pete, my man kenny florian,
I am chris rose,
1693
01:23:21,931 --> 01:23:24,331
We will see you next time
on battlebots.
