Popular Post StanleyCupOneDay Posted December 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) So this is probably not the right place, but I really don’t know where it fits. Mods feel free to move this if needed. Is anyone else ridiculously excited for Season 6? Only a month away from airing and for those who do watch it, OMG Duck! Is back and I’m super pumped to see him in the ring again. For those new to this or unaware, there was a tv series back in the 90’s/00’s called battlebots. It ran for 5 seasons and was made up of teams or individuals building robots and then fighting in a hazard filled arena. It’s been rebooted and has 5 seasons + bounty hunters under its belt. The first to disable their opponent or get a judges decision (if the match went the full 3 minutes) would win and advance to the next round. The end goal is to win the Giant Nut. There’s a 250 pound weight limit, but other than that people can build any kind of robot/s. There’s all sorts of different crazy designs with saws, multi-bots, shields, hammers, pinchers, armor, flamethrowers, spinners, blades and flippers. There’s upsets, explosions, carnage and unforgettable moments (the fist in the bulletproof glass, the 15 foot flip that shattered the studio lights, the robot torn completely in half are 3 that stand out for me over the seasons) as these robots try to tear each other apart. 60 robots are competing in the upcoming season. As just a small taste of what this show is like: Edited January 20, 2022 by StanleyCupOneDay 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wash Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Yes - so excited! The trailer is really slick! It will be a nice New Year’s treat. I do hope that Discovery Canada has it on air with the same timing as the US. The two week delay last year was annoying! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to avoid going online to stop from getting spoiled. Gotta say though I hate the trailer. Domo Arigato + Faruq just cheapens the show imo.

Ilunga Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 You should check out Robot wars,the British version of this show. Craig Charles- Lister from Red Dwarf was the host from 98-2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a different show though I’ll definitely check it out. Always love these fights. So much can happen and anyone can win in the right circumstances.

I’m assuming we’ll see SawBlaze tonight given the title of the episode. That team always puts on a great show win, lose or... explosion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleyCupOneDay Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Holy &^@#! That was insane. What a way to start the season. SawBlaze saw is way nastier this year. Edited January 7, 2022 by StanleyCupOneDay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to PVR the shows. Saw the first episode last week. SawBlaze was indeed something else. SawBlaze is way nastier this year. I think my favorite was Deep Six. So awkward looking. That was awesome though, big hit there. I didn't really like End Game and the extra flippers. Surprised with Tombstone getting beat but thought Switchback looked pretty mean as did Blacksmith. Free Shipping is pretty entertaining too. Onto episode 2! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onto episode 2! Happy you got to see the first episode! SawBlaze I think is using a different designed saw or material for the saw this year which looks to be paying big dividends early. Deep Six is really cool looking, but I feel they’re going to be too unbalanced still which is going to result in some unexpected losses. End Game knows like all bot builders that the lowest to the ground usually wins the fight, they were very smart to make an adjustment for facing Hydra. I also am still pissed at Jake Ewert for that Huge match last season, so I was happy he lost. Champions know they always need to make changes to keep up and stay ahead of the competition. The NZlanders and End Game are gunning for another Giant Nut. Shredderator was the biggest upset I’ve seen in a long time. That was crazy. Blacksmith finally decided to change their weapon so damage is more visible and it’s paid off. I always love Gary Gin and Free Shipping. Always entertaining matches even if he rarely ever wins. The 2nd episode is wild too. Rotator is the nastiest version I’ve ever seen. Arin Dell formerly leader of team Tantrum and his new bot Blip is one of the most unique and impressive rookies ever. Up there with Deathroll, Jackpot and Bombshell. They look to go far in this year’s tournie. Matty Vasquez and Whiplash are the best driver/bot combo in the tournament. Try changing my mind on that. They think they can win the Giant Nut this year. I wouldn’t bet against them either. Lots of other great fights too. I never get tired of watching these fights. So much can happen that determines who wins and loses. Any bot can beat another in the right circumstances. Going to be way more exciting and tough this year with all the teams and their bots coming back after skipping last season’s competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleyCupOneDay Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Duck! Will finally return tonight. I’m assuming we’ll also see Black Dragon and the Brazilian boys. Going to be a ton of fun. Edited January 20, 2022 by StanleyCupOneDay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
