A few big spinners in the field tonight, plus Beta's hammer and Mammoth's... whatever the fuck it's supposed to be. Which bot will join the 3 former champions and 2 (so far) slugfest winners in the quest for the Golden Bolt? As a reminder, please put any discussion of match results under spoiler tags until 24 hours after the episode airs out of consideration for people who can't watch the episode live. Showtime is about an hour from now, both on Discovery channel and streaming on Discovery+ and MAX.

Free Shipping/Mammoth is a strange match up.

IT'S ROBOT FIGHTIN' TIME! Slugfest #3 begins with Triton vs. Gigabyte and Gigabyte wrecked Triton without breaking a sweat .

To the surprise of no one, Beta brutally pounded Double Tap and Death Roll rolled over Slammo. Can we just launch Craig Danby back to England on the back of a rocket or something? I appreciate his passion, but the dude can't build a decent robot to save his life.

All four of the first round fights were pretty mediocre, but Death Roll vs. Gigabyte in the second round was a real slobberknocker. Gigabyte got the win, but both bots delivered a bunch of big hits.

Beta are you fucking kidding me right now what the fuck happened

Welp, can't say I saw Free Shipping winning this slugfest, but here we are. Gigabyte broke its self-righting pole off again and that was that. Oh well.

Slammo more like Floppo
