I'm still a bit salty about P1 vs. Hypershock, but it's honestly all on Hypershock. The weapon they used (mainly its length) combined with the shape of the little 'horns' on the top made it so that the bot couldn't properly drive upside down, like it used to be able to. Whenever the weapon tried to spin up, it just bonked the floor and imbalanced the driving. That seems like a significant design oversight, especially when fighting a lifter like P1.

That said, Mammoth's surprise appearance was hype as fuck--too bad they went up against a world-class bot right out of the gate. They never stood a chance, poor things.

My bracket for our watch parties got decimated already. I had Shatter beating Riptide (more or less banking on Riptide being worn out as a new bot with a big, powerful weapon--I expected mechanical failure at this point in the season...ironically that happened to Glitch, instead). I also had Hypershock beating P1. I even had Glitch making it all the way to fight Endgame before losing, which might have been a long shot, but I was going for the unexpected picks.

The other fights went about as expected, with Endgame reminding everybody just how terrifying it is. I don't know what it is, but Endgame just feels like it's in a whole nother league; are its parts significantly more expensive than others? It just feels like it's insanely sturdy, insanely powerful, and insanely fast all at once, where usually there's a big weight/battery power trade-off for focusing on any one area that much.

Idk, Endgame is just bonkers. I would love to see them fight Bite Force with their current power level.
