Current Events > BattleBots 2018 Episode 4 discussion topic *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Tonight on the Discovery Channel (and re-played next Wednesday on the Science Channel) the main-event features the second fight of the qualifying rounds for the defending BattleBots champion, Tombstone! But on the other side is a fierce foe... while they've never met on the grand stage of BattleBots, Tombstone and Gigabyte have battled each other twice in the past, with Gigabyte winning both times. Can Gigabyte take it to the champion again, or will Tombstone shine when the lights around are at their brightest?



Also featured on the card tonight is the BattleBots debut of Monsoon, a spinner bot created by a team of veteran roboteers who formerly competed in UK Robot Wars, including the builder of a former Robot Wars grand finalist, Concussion. The team hopes that their knowledge and skills can help them crack some robo skulls in a brand new battlefield. We're only about 15 minutes away from another exciting and destructive hour of BattleBots. IT'S ROBOT FIGHTIN' TIME!

Showtime! Red Devil vs. Monsoon is about to start. Let's see what these Brits can do.

The first two fights went to the judges due to no immobilization, but they were one-sided fights with obvious outcomes. Monsoon destroyed Red Devil's saw from the get go and caused severe damage, but couldn't get the knockout. Meanwhile, Skorpios controlled Lucky for the entire fight and drove it into the hammers and killsaws for environmental damage, but also couldn't finish the job. Tantrum vs. Battle Royale w/ Cheese is up next, and apparently this robot that looks like a cheeseburger is sponsored by Imgur. Why?

If this topic doesn't get any responses tonight, I'm done. I was hoping there would be more interest after the topic for the premiere episode got 20 posts, but oh well.
