1
00:00:01,402 --> 00:00:03,902
In the 25-year
history of the sport,
2
00:00:03,904 --> 00:00:07,106
Excellence at battlebots
has been measured in hardwar
3
00:00:08,109 --> 00:00:10,109
The pride of the giant bolts
4
00:00:10,111 --> 00:00:12,311
what a destructive robot.
5
00:00:12,313 --> 00:00:15,447
The glory of the
desperado and bounty hunter.
6
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:17,416
They have run the gantlet.
7
00:00:17,418 --> 00:00:19,518
And the ultimate pri
8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,455
For those seeking battlebot
i mmortality, the giant nut.
9
00:00:23,491 --> 00:00:25,257
World champion...
10
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:29,228
now a new quest
for greatness begins.
11
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:34,533
This is battlebots champions,
the race for the golden bolt.
12
00:00:37,805 --> 00:00:39,405
Robots, activate.
13
00:00:56,824 --> 00:01:00,392
Welcome to another
night of battlebots champi
14
00:01:03,864 --> 00:01:06,265
I'm chris rose, joined as
always by my better half,
15
00:01:06,333 --> 00:01:09,601
The ufc legend combat
robotics analyst extraordinaire,
16
00:01:09,603 --> 00:01:11,403
Say hello to kenny florian.
17
00:01:13,107 --> 00:01:14,440
Chris, thank you very much.
18
00:01:14,508 --> 00:01:16,508
Vegas, make some noise!
19
00:01:23,417 --> 00:01:26,051
We are in week
four of this incredible
20
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,753
New battlebots event.
21
00:01:27,755 --> 00:01:31,323
And if our previous slugfest
are any indication for tonight,
22
00:01:31,325 --> 00:01:34,326
You'd better buckle up
because it's gonna get wild.
23
00:01:35,563 --> 00:01:39,398
We have already
see hypershock, ribbot,
24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,500
And the young
guns on team glitch,
25
00:01:41,502 --> 00:01:44,403
Punch their tickets to
the golden bowl tournamen
26
00:01:44,405 --> 00:01:47,106
Where they will be joined
by giant nut winners,
27
00:01:47,108 --> 00:01:51,210
Tombstone, end game and tantrum.
28
00:01:51,212 --> 00:01:53,645
And now only two spots remain,
29
00:01:53,714 --> 00:01:55,747
Which means we are
just a few weeks awa
30
00:01:55,849 --> 00:01:59,118
From that exclusive
one-night royal rumble.
31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,520
Where the world's most
battle-hardened robots
32
00:02:01,522 --> 00:02:04,223
Will compete for the
shinies new status symbol
33
00:02:04,225 --> 00:02:07,126
On the battlebots
c ircui the golden bolt!
34
00:02:10,798 --> 00:02:13,098
And tonight,
we've got eight more teams
35
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:14,666
Looking to napalm their way
36
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:16,602
Into that tournament
of champions.
37
00:02:16,604 --> 00:02:18,604
And to do it, they'll
have to get through
38
00:02:18,606 --> 00:02:24,743
One of the most versatile
bo in the world, skorpios.
39
00:02:30,618 --> 00:02:33,552
After nearly two
decades in combat robotics,
40
00:02:33,621 --> 00:02:35,621
Zach lytle and diana karlsso
41
00:02:35,623 --> 00:02:39,091
Have become one of the most
formidable teams in this sport.
42
00:02:39,093 --> 00:02:42,227
In 2020, they took down
the former giant nut winner
43
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:46,031
And maybe the most feared
bo on the planet, tombstone.
44
00:02:46,033 --> 00:02:48,934
We beat the king
of kinetic energy.
45
00:02:49,003 --> 00:02:53,338
Then they parlayed that
success into winning the ice way bout.
46
00:02:53,407 --> 00:02:55,140
Skorpios!
47
00:02:55,242 --> 00:02:57,709
Will skorpios
be the first gatekeeper
48
00:02:57,711 --> 00:03:00,445
To clinch a spot in the
golden bolt tournamen
49
00:03:00,547 --> 00:03:04,416
Or will it be another challenger
that punches their ticket?
50
00:03:08,088 --> 00:03:10,956
Let's get it started and see
who's stepping up tonight.
51
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,295
South korea's blade
tries to slice and dice
52
00:03:16,297 --> 00:03:18,530
The floridian behemoth krake
53
00:03:20,801 --> 00:03:22,100
who wins in a fight
54
00:03:22,102 --> 00:03:25,604
The bot that pumps iron
or the one that forges it?
55
00:03:25,606 --> 00:03:28,640
We'll find out when deadlift
steps up to blacksmith.
56
00:03:31,212 --> 00:03:33,645
It's a coin toss
ove who comes out ahead
57
00:03:33,714 --> 00:03:37,349
And who comes out headless
as switchback battles lucky
58
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:41,253
but first, our opening fight,
59
00:03:41,322 --> 00:03:43,855
The bot who's as
cruel as a cucumber,
60
00:03:43,957 --> 00:03:47,459
Big dill faces the devastating
blades of bloodsport.
61
00:03:53,133 --> 00:03:55,133
All right, all
right. Enough talk.
62
00:03:55,202 --> 00:03:56,335
Let's get to the fights.
63
00:03:56,403 --> 00:03:58,003
Faruq, do your thing.
64
00:04:01,642 --> 00:04:05,811
Ladies and
gentlemen, are you ready?
65
00:04:05,813 --> 00:04:09,214
It's robot fighting time.
66
00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:22,628
In the red square,
from seattle, washington.
67
00:04:22,630 --> 00:04:24,229
It's not pickle rick,
68
00:04:24,231 --> 00:04:27,232
It's the reason you're
about to get pickle-wrecked.
69
00:04:27,334 --> 00:04:30,435
It's big dill!
70
00:04:35,809 --> 00:04:38,243
It is quite the big dill
71
00:04:38,312 --> 00:04:41,313
And that bot is led
by emmanuel carrillo.
72
00:04:41,315 --> 00:04:42,814
He was born
without a right hand.
73
00:04:42,816 --> 00:04:45,117
And kenny, he has
told us countless times,
74
00:04:45,119 --> 00:04:47,719
He is happy to be an
inspiration in this sport.
75
00:04:47,721 --> 00:04:48,820
That's right.
76
00:04:48,822 --> 00:04:50,188
He has a couple of career wins,
77
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:51,556
But they didn't get invited
78
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:53,458
To last year's
world championship.
79
00:04:53,527 --> 00:04:56,762
This is a huge opportunity
to prove himself
80
00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:59,298
And get some momentum
going into next year.
81
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:00,832
The bot looks incredible.
82
00:05:00,834 --> 00:05:04,002
And those 20-inch long arms
make it a very effective lifter.
83
00:05:04,004 --> 00:05:06,305
And don't forget
about that mini bot.
84
00:05:06,307 --> 00:05:08,040
Yeah, spicy meatball
85
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:10,309
The mini bot has
made its return.
86
00:05:10,311 --> 00:05:14,413
My stomach always gets hungr
when I call big dill bites, by the way.
87
00:05:17,751 --> 00:05:22,120
In the blue square,
from cambridge, massachusetts.
88
00:05:22,122 --> 00:05:25,857
Jean-claude van
damme, this robot's scary,
89
00:05:25,926 --> 00:05:28,927
It's bloodsport!
90
00:05:32,733 --> 00:05:35,000
Here comes captain justin marple
91
00:05:35,002 --> 00:05:38,003
Pushing that death
machine out of the tunnel.
92
00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:41,807
Bloodsport is fast, it is
powerful, and it is deadly, kenny.
93
00:05:41,809 --> 00:05:43,074
Yeah.
94
00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:44,710
This is a team that
rocketed up the b attlebots
95
00:05:44,712 --> 00:05:47,045
Totem pole over the
course of its three seasons,
96
00:05:47,047 --> 00:05:50,949
Was seeded number two
overal in the 2020 tournament
97
00:05:51,018 --> 00:05:53,852
But did get bounced in
the round of 32 last year
98
00:05:53,954 --> 00:05:56,955
If justin can use that spee
to create space and spin up
99
00:05:57,024 --> 00:05:59,157
That 48-inch long bar,
100
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:01,827
This bot could go
toe to toe with anyone.
101
00:06:11,405 --> 00:06:13,683
So we've brought a lot of
horizontal spinners in the past,
102
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:15,207
I send them with the mini bot.
103
00:06:15,209 --> 00:06:16,641
Come in, grab them, and lift.
104
00:06:16,743 --> 00:06:18,110
I know exactly where they hit.
105
00:06:18,112 --> 00:06:19,444
I know how tall they are.
106
00:06:19,446 --> 00:06:21,591
Our wedges are in the
perfect height to counteract that.
107
00:06:21,615 --> 00:06:23,448
So, unless they can
grow a few inches,
108
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:25,217
I think we're gonna
be pretty good.
109
00:06:25,219 --> 00:06:27,018
It's essential that
we win this fight
110
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:29,554
'cause I really want to
get to the skorpios final,
111
00:06:29,623 --> 00:06:31,857
Beat them and get into
that golden bolt tournament.
112
00:06:31,925 --> 00:06:33,925
My strategy is kind of similar
to what we've done in the past,
113
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:36,094
What's worked in the past,
aim for the edges of the wedge,
114
00:06:36,096 --> 00:06:37,976
Try to get their wheels,
try to get around them.
115
00:06:38,031 --> 00:06:40,699
So, we're hoping that combination
of being able to get around them,
116
00:06:40,701 --> 00:06:43,034
Hit them really hard
will get us that win.
117
00:06:43,103 --> 00:06:44,469
So, if we can get
through big dill,
118
00:06:44,471 --> 00:06:46,791
I think we have a good shot
going straight to the skorpios.
119
00:06:51,311 --> 00:06:52,744
Robots, activate.
120
00:06:57,418 --> 00:06:58,817
When you look at bloodsport,
121
00:06:58,819 --> 00:07:01,153
You'll notice that that's
not a garden hose on top.
122
00:07:01,221 --> 00:07:04,823
That is a self-righter for
when they get flipped over.
123
00:07:04,825 --> 00:07:06,825
And for more on
bloodsport's opponent,
124
00:07:06,827 --> 00:07:08,927
Let's bring in the
bot whisperer pete.
125
00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:11,763
Gentlemen, I was talking to
emmanuel before this fight.
126
00:07:11,865 --> 00:07:15,200
And get this, you see those
cute little green doorstops
127
00:07:15,202 --> 00:07:17,202
On big dill's front wedges.
128
00:07:17,204 --> 00:07:19,104
Well, those actually
used to be a part
129
00:07:19,106 --> 00:07:22,441
Of one of the most
legendary lifter bots of all time.
130
00:07:22,542 --> 00:07:24,509
Free shipping!
131
00:07:24,511 --> 00:07:26,311
Driven, of course, by garry jim.
132
00:07:26,313 --> 00:07:30,449
Now, garry worked with
emmanuel to weld those doorstops
133
00:07:30,584 --> 00:07:33,051
Right at the height of
bloodsport's weapon.
134
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,054
So, when big dill
does take some shots,
135
00:07:36,056 --> 00:07:39,558
Its lifter arms should not
g completely destroyed.
136
00:07:39,659 --> 00:07:41,660
Just lifters helping
lifters, guys.
137
00:07:41,761 --> 00:07:45,030
Any time you got a little bit
of garry jim hanging around,
138
00:07:45,032 --> 00:07:46,631
That could be magical.
139
00:07:49,403 --> 00:07:51,236
Red team, ready?
140
00:07:56,210 --> 00:07:58,109
Blue team, ready?
141
00:08:15,295 --> 00:08:18,430
Remember, these
slugfests are single elimination.
142
00:08:18,432 --> 00:08:21,333
Every fight tonight
is win or go home.
143
00:08:21,434 --> 00:08:23,802
Who's gonna move
one step closer to a battle
144
00:08:23,804 --> 00:08:26,238
With skorpios and
a potential berth
145
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:28,139
In the golden bolt tournament?
146
00:08:28,241 --> 00:08:31,510
Fight! Fight! Fight!
147
00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:33,211
Let's the bot battle begin.
148
00:08:34,815 --> 00:08:36,615
Big dill with a hard charge
149
00:08:36,617 --> 00:08:38,049
oh!
150
00:08:38,118 --> 00:08:39,651
He lands a big shot.
151
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,753
Good defense there by big dill.
152
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:44,456
Those big front wedges
already paying off.
153
00:08:44,525 --> 00:08:45,702
Bloodsport trying to attack
154
00:08:45,726 --> 00:08:47,526
From the side to
stuck in the front.
155
00:08:47,528 --> 00:08:50,629
Well, the blade got
awfully close to that weapon chain.
156
00:08:50,631 --> 00:08:51,863
The chain broke.
157
00:08:51,932 --> 00:08:53,030
Uh-oh.
158
00:08:53,032 --> 00:08:55,200
Big dill
already lost its lifter.
159
00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:57,202
Let's see if carrillo's
bot can move.
160
00:08:58,605 --> 00:08:59,671
Oh, gosh.
161
00:08:59,673 --> 00:09:01,339
That's not the right direction.
162
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,775
Oh, bloodsport taking
full advantage of that mistake.
163
00:09:03,777 --> 00:09:05,710
Big dill caught in the screw
164
00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:07,712
Now those are gonna
reverse if they can.
165
00:09:07,714 --> 00:09:09,814
But is the bot wedged
too tight in there?
166
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:12,717
I'm gonna have to count you out
167
00:09:12,719 --> 00:09:14,151
If you're not moving.
168
00:09:14,153 --> 00:09:17,322
Bloodsport deliverin
what might be the kill shot
169
00:09:17,324 --> 00:09:18,523
ten, nine...
170
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:20,058
that is gonna be it
171
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:21,326
yeah, it is.
172
00:09:21,328 --> 00:09:22,827
The countdown has started.
173
00:09:22,829 --> 00:09:27,332
Big dill is stuck, and now
bloodsport's going mini bot hunting.
174
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:28,700
Oh!
175
00:09:38,111 --> 00:09:40,645
Did you want that
spicy meatball cut in two?
176
00:09:40,714 --> 00:09:42,047
Yes, thank you.
177
00:09:48,221 --> 00:09:50,855
Well, kenny, you talked
about that devastating blade
178
00:09:50,957 --> 00:09:53,058
That bloodsport has.
179
00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:55,760
Yeah, this thing can
take you out in the blink of an eye
180
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:57,262
If you're not careful.
181
00:09:57,264 --> 00:10:00,599
Bloodsport, able to sever
the weapon chain on big dill
182
00:10:00,601 --> 00:10:02,801
With surgical precision.
183
00:10:02,803 --> 00:10:05,036
Big dill then
got caught in the screws
184
00:10:05,038 --> 00:10:08,607
And before it could break
free bloodsport said, you,
185
00:10:08,609 --> 00:10:10,141
You stay in your room.
186
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:13,945
And the exclamation
point, a spicy meatball to go.
187
00:10:23,223 --> 00:10:27,626
Well, kenny, that is just one lap of
the four lap journey for bloodsport.
188
00:10:27,628 --> 00:10:29,361
I wouldn't bet
against that bot, huh?
189
00:10:29,429 --> 00:10:30,828
Yeah, absolutely.
190
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:32,831
They established themselves
as an apex predator out ther
191
00:10:32,833 --> 00:10:34,699
Had their spot, took advantage.
192
00:10:34,701 --> 00:10:36,367
It was over.
193
00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:41,740
Still two more fights for them to go
until they square off against skorpios.
194
00:10:41,808 --> 00:10:45,310
Up next, ryan shulski tries
flex on the competition whil
195
00:10:45,312 --> 00:10:49,514
Al kindle looks to brand
a capital b on his opponent
196
00:10:49,516 --> 00:10:52,651
Deadlift, blacksmith
going at it next on
197
00:10:52,752 --> 00:10:55,820
Battlebots champions
sin city slugfest.
198
00:11:05,966 --> 00:11:08,299
The golden bolt is a
combination of all the giant nut winners
199
00:11:08,301 --> 00:11:09,734
And all the slugfest winners.
200
00:11:09,803 --> 00:11:12,114
So, these are literally the
best bots that exist right now.
201
00:11:12,138 --> 00:11:14,305
Tombstone, giant nut
winner, you have end game,
202
00:11:14,307 --> 00:11:15,373
Giant nut winner.
203
00:11:15,375 --> 00:11:17,208
You have the slugfest winner
204
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:19,878
These are the people who
have built the best robots here.
205
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,112
They're heavy hitters.
206
00:11:21,114 --> 00:11:23,415
They can absolutely
decimate your robot.
207
00:11:23,417 --> 00:11:27,719
And they punch their ticket
into the golden bolt tournament.
208
00:11:28,822 --> 00:11:30,522
There are some
serious contenders.
209
00:11:30,524 --> 00:11:32,223
And they want that golden bolt.
210
00:11:32,225 --> 00:11:34,325
We are the reigning
champion of battlebots.
211
00:11:34,327 --> 00:11:36,294
We took home the nut, now
we're going for the golden bolt.
212
00:11:36,296 --> 00:11:39,264
The golden bolt for
us is a chance at redemption.
213
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:42,200
I got a spot on
my trophy shelf for it.
214
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:43,635
It's already ready.
215
00:11:43,637 --> 00:11:45,103
I think it would be
pretty amazing to add that
216
00:11:45,105 --> 00:11:46,337
Golden bolt to our collectio
217
00:11:46,439 --> 00:11:48,039
The golden bolt
is gonna be ours.
218
00:11:48,141 --> 00:11:50,408
Who will be next?
219
00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:53,078
Skorpios is
going to a legendary bot.
220
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,913
That's why I've
continued with the design.
221
00:11:54,915 --> 00:11:56,915
That's why we push
it forwar every year.
222
00:11:56,917 --> 00:11:59,017
We're going to the
golden bolt tournament,
223
00:11:59,019 --> 00:12:01,553
And I've got my eye
on quite a few legends.
224
00:12:05,425 --> 00:12:09,060
The battle for the golden
bolt is just two weeks away.
225
00:12:09,129 --> 00:12:13,031
Do not miss what is sure to
an incredible one-night even
226
00:12:14,735 --> 00:12:19,204
Which one of tonight's team is gonna
earn a berth in the field of champions?
227
00:12:20,307 --> 00:12:23,641
We continue on with
blacksmith taking on deadlift.
228
00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:27,746
And, kenny, this is a fight
between a battlebots' og versus
229
00:12:27,814 --> 00:12:31,516
A, bro, come spot me.
230
00:12:31,518 --> 00:12:36,121
Let's start with the yoked young'uns
of deadlift led by ryan shulski
231
00:12:36,123 --> 00:12:37,222
love these dudes.
232
00:12:37,224 --> 00:12:39,424
The grappler bot
debuted in 2020,
233
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:42,260
And it's sitting on a
2-5 career record.
234
00:12:42,328 --> 00:12:46,364
But don't let that or the
meathead persona fool you.
235
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:49,033
This machine is well built
and really tough to knock ou
236
00:12:49,135 --> 00:12:51,736
Do not be surprised if
this one goes the distanc
237
00:12:54,508 --> 00:12:56,808
and on the
other en of the spectrum,
238
00:12:56,810 --> 00:13:00,945
Al kindle's bot, maybe one of
the most recognizabl in this sport.
239
00:13:00,947 --> 00:13:04,516
In fact, its 2016 fight vers
minotaur has racked up
240
00:13:04,518 --> 00:13:07,819
More than 25 million
views on youtube.
241
00:13:07,821 --> 00:13:12,123
This team is excited about the
chance to fight for that golden bolt.
242
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:13,958
Yeah. But since
tha minotaur match,
243
00:13:14,027 --> 00:13:15,827
We've seen it go
from a flaming hammer
244
00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:17,862
To what they're calling
a power hammer.
245
00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:21,733
And al's team didn't qualify for the
2021 world championship tournamen
246
00:13:21,835 --> 00:13:24,402
But in a single elimination
night like tonight,
247
00:13:24,404 --> 00:13:27,906
This crew has the talent and
experience to really shine bright.
248
00:13:33,914 --> 00:13:35,680
You guys good?
249
00:13:35,682 --> 00:13:36,815
All good?
250
00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:38,316
Yep.
251
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:40,618
All right. Let's get
you right into the action.
252
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:47,425
Red team, ready?
253
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:54,532
Team deadlift
showing off those muscles.
254
00:13:54,601 --> 00:13:57,402
Kenny, what would it mean
for them to get a win here?
255
00:13:57,404 --> 00:13:58,803
Well, this is a young team.
256
00:13:58,805 --> 00:14:00,505
All these guys were
high school buddies.
257
00:14:00,507 --> 00:14:02,941
They now have two seasons
under their belt, though.
258
00:14:02,943 --> 00:14:05,844
So, they're at a bit
of a crossroads here.
259
00:14:05,912 --> 00:14:09,614
They need to start finding
some consistency with their robot
260
00:14:09,616 --> 00:14:12,717
And a win against blacksmit
would be a heck of a start.
261
00:14:17,324 --> 00:14:19,424
Blue team, ready?
262
00:14:22,929 --> 00:14:25,730
Al kindle looking stone cold.
263
00:14:25,732 --> 00:14:27,699
This ain't his
first rodeo, kenny.
264
00:14:27,701 --> 00:14:30,201
Yeah, but he's stil
figuring out this new weapon
265
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:34,639
It's about ten times more complex
than blacksmith old flaming hammer.
266
00:14:34,741 --> 00:14:37,709
But it does have a much
greater potential for damage
267
00:14:37,711 --> 00:14:40,778
And against a bot with
an iron chin like deadlift,
268
00:14:40,780 --> 00:14:43,615
Look for al to use
it early and often.
269
00:14:56,730 --> 00:15:01,399
Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
270
00:15:12,512 --> 00:15:15,446
Let the bot battle begin.
271
00:15:15,548 --> 00:15:17,382
With a nose to
nose action to start.
272
00:15:17,384 --> 00:15:19,717
Fire breathing dragon yeah!
273
00:15:19,719 --> 00:15:21,686
Look at al kindle do his thing.
274
00:15:21,688 --> 00:15:25,623
This is why we love
al kindle, goes right at deadlift.
275
00:15:25,625 --> 00:15:29,227
The gym bros look a little
dehydrated after that exchange.
276
00:15:29,229 --> 00:15:31,829
Blacksmith's coming
back for more.
277
00:15:31,831 --> 00:15:33,398
Working the side.
278
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,601
Yep. Using the rails and the
delivering the hammer saw.
279
00:15:36,603 --> 00:15:38,403
Oh, they're in a good spot there
280
00:15:38,405 --> 00:15:40,505
We'll see if they can
fire off that hammer.
281
00:15:40,507 --> 00:15:41,639
Fire.
282
00:15:41,741 --> 00:15:43,408
Yeah!
283
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:45,810
Deadlift not
able to get out of there.
284
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:47,445
And it looks hurt, chris.
285
00:15:47,514 --> 00:15:49,514
Just sort of spinning
out there now.
286
00:15:49,516 --> 00:15:51,416
And blacksmith smells blood
287
00:15:51,418 --> 00:15:53,318
oh, yes. The flame.
288
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,020
Very nice work, blacksmith.
289
00:15:56,022 --> 00:15:57,555
Lining it up.
290
00:15:57,557 --> 00:15:59,424
Now deadlift
trying to fight fire with fire.
291
00:15:59,426 --> 00:16:01,993
Literally trying to get
tha flame thrower going.
292
00:16:01,995 --> 00:16:03,928
It's been a little
inconsistent. There it goes.
293
00:16:03,930 --> 00:16:06,998
Sit back and enjoy
some quality vegas entertainment.
294
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,000
These dueling flamethrowers
295
00:16:09,002 --> 00:16:11,035
oh, big hit.
296
00:16:11,037 --> 00:16:12,804
Blacksmith brings th hammer down
297
00:16:12,806 --> 00:16:14,706
Straight on the
beak of deadlift.
298
00:16:16,209 --> 00:16:18,910
Again working the
side of deadlift and...
299
00:16:18,912 --> 00:16:20,345
oh. Oh-oh-oh.
300
00:16:20,446 --> 00:16:22,480
Oh, and almost
taking him out of the box.
301
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:25,016
Impressive work by
the veteran al kindle.
302
00:16:25,018 --> 00:16:28,052
Yeah. Almost got
him outside the battle box.
303
00:16:28,054 --> 00:16:31,122
Team blacksmith playing
with their food a little bit here,
304
00:16:31,124 --> 00:16:33,624
Doing whatever they
want with deadlift.
305
00:16:33,626 --> 00:16:37,962
100 seconds to go,
deadlift's got to get going offensively,
306
00:16:38,064 --> 00:16:39,931
Trying to put that lifter down,
307
00:16:39,933 --> 00:16:42,533
But nope, not working.
308
00:16:42,602 --> 00:16:45,703
Deadlift continues
to struggle with its drive train.
309
00:16:45,705 --> 00:16:49,107
Al kindle's having no
problem driving his opponent
310
00:16:49,109 --> 00:16:50,641
Wherever he wants.
311
00:16:50,743 --> 00:16:53,111
Taking him into the screws.
312
00:16:53,113 --> 00:16:56,814
Dangerous territory for
deadlift on several fronts,
313
00:16:56,816 --> 00:17:00,018
But blacksmith
resets and reengages.
314
00:17:01,021 --> 00:17:02,420
Al kindle. Uh-oh.
315
00:17:02,422 --> 00:17:03,821
Oh, no. Al kindle.
316
00:17:03,823 --> 00:17:05,723
Oh, he gets out
of the kill saw slot.
317
00:17:05,725 --> 00:17:06,958
Nice work.
318
00:17:07,027 --> 00:17:09,560
Deadlift barely
hanging on now, chris.
319
00:17:09,662 --> 00:17:11,763
Lot of fire there.
320
00:17:11,831 --> 00:17:14,899
Pretty pictures but not
any damage done by deadlift
321
00:17:14,901 --> 00:17:16,934
Which takes a shot
from the hammer saw.
322
00:17:17,937 --> 00:17:19,303
All right, deadlift.
323
00:17:19,305 --> 00:17:21,806
I'm not seeing, I'm gonna
let this go if he's interacting.
324
00:17:21,808 --> 00:17:23,441
The ref letting team deadlif
325
00:17:23,543 --> 00:17:25,710
Know he's gonna
let the action continue
326
00:17:25,712 --> 00:17:28,546
As long as al kindle
continues to reengage.
327
00:17:29,816 --> 00:17:32,417
And now trying to
take deadlift for a ride.
328
00:17:33,420 --> 00:17:35,319
Closing in on the
30-second mark.
329
00:17:35,321 --> 00:17:37,822
And now he's taking deadlif
over to the upper deck,
330
00:17:37,824 --> 00:17:39,757
Trying to put him up the board.
331
00:17:39,859 --> 00:17:41,559
But deadlift slips away.
332
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:43,327
Chris, we've talked
about the importance
333
00:17:43,329 --> 00:17:46,531
Of getting efficient hits
he in this one-night format.
334
00:17:46,533 --> 00:17:49,100
But it looks to me
like al kindle is just fine
335
00:17:49,102 --> 00:17:52,236
Working the speedbag
here against the gym bros
336
00:17:52,305 --> 00:17:55,206
And putting blacksmith
through its paces.
337
00:17:55,208 --> 00:17:56,940
Yep.
338
00:17:56,942 --> 00:18:00,311
Blacksmith has barely had to break
a sweat here in round number one.
339
00:18:00,313 --> 00:18:05,116
The final seconds ticking aw as deadlift
is gonna make I to the closing bell.
340
00:18:05,118 --> 00:18:07,318
But now without
collecting some stars,
341
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,720
Courtesy of the
veteran, al kindle.
342
00:18:09,722 --> 00:18:12,056
Four, three, two, one.
343
00:18:13,326 --> 00:18:14,725
Oh.
344
00:18:14,727 --> 00:18:18,062
One final shot that did
some damage and left a mark.
345
00:18:21,901 --> 00:18:26,604
So now this goes to the
judges, lisa winter, jason bardis
346
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:29,240
And derek young, scoring
on an 11-point system.
347
00:18:29,342 --> 00:18:35,213
So 5 points to be awarded for
damage, 3 for aggressio and 3 for control.
348
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:41,886
Kenny, this was al kindle
and blacksmith start to finish.
349
00:18:41,888 --> 00:18:44,422
Yeah, al just staye
on him very aggressive,
350
00:18:44,424 --> 00:18:48,259
Was attacking from the flank
was utilizing that hammer very well,
351
00:18:48,328 --> 00:18:50,428
Using the battle
box to great effect.
352
00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:51,963
Almost got him out of there
353
00:18:52,064 --> 00:18:54,699
blacksmith just
limbering up for what could be
354
00:18:54,701 --> 00:18:58,836
A deep run tonight, did lose one of
its weapon belts here at the buzzer.
355
00:18:58,905 --> 00:19:01,839
Will that have any effect
on the judges' scorecards?
356
00:19:01,941 --> 00:19:03,608
Let's find out.
357
00:19:06,746 --> 00:19:09,714
The results from
the judges are in.
358
00:19:15,722 --> 00:19:19,223
The winner by
unanimous decision is...
359
00:19:23,263 --> 00:19:25,129
Blacksmith.
360
00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:41,512
Al kindle, your weapon
may not have delivered a knockout,
361
00:19:41,514 --> 00:19:44,515
But you did exactly
what you wanted in there.
362
00:19:44,517 --> 00:19:45,816
How?
363
00:19:45,818 --> 00:19:47,418
We're very happy with it.
364
00:19:47,420 --> 00:19:49,120
We had some gremlins
we'd been working through,
365
00:19:49,122 --> 00:19:50,955
But everything
worked the whole way.
366
00:19:50,957 --> 00:19:52,390
We're hitting, doing
some damage.
367
00:19:52,392 --> 00:19:53,958
Everything's working great.
368
00:19:54,027 --> 00:19:55,826
You guys are
experts back in the pit.
369
00:19:55,828 --> 00:19:58,229
It's not just about
winning one fight tonight.
370
00:19:58,231 --> 00:19:59,864
It's about winning four.
371
00:19:59,932 --> 00:20:01,232
How do you get that done?
372
00:20:02,735 --> 00:20:04,602
You really have to work
hard. These guys are great.
373
00:20:04,604 --> 00:20:05,936
They're hard workers.
374
00:20:05,938 --> 00:20:08,739
They could outwork me any
day, but we're gonna get it done.
375
00:20:08,808 --> 00:20:11,742
We shouldn't have too much damage
after this fight, so we should be ready.
376
00:20:11,844 --> 00:20:14,122
All right. Congratulations. We'll
see you in the next round, al.
377
00:20:14,146 --> 00:20:15,246
Thanks.
378
00:20:21,654 --> 00:20:25,623
Well, it was nice for al kindle
and blacksmit to do exactly what it wanted
379
00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:28,259
this was a classic
al kindle, blacksmith match.
380
00:20:28,328 --> 00:20:30,461
To stay on him, he was
aggressive the whole time,
381
00:20:30,563 --> 00:20:32,363
Hammering away. Awesome fight.
382
00:20:32,431 --> 00:20:34,599
And I asked al
kindl about the challenge
383
00:20:34,601 --> 00:20:37,935
Of keeping the bot working
on a marathon night like tonight.
384
00:20:38,037 --> 00:20:40,238
Well, we're gonna try and
keep you updated on team
385
00:20:40,306 --> 00:20:43,808
As they make rapid fire repairs.
386
00:20:43,810 --> 00:20:46,611
In fact, there's bloodsport
who we saw made quick work
387
00:20:46,613 --> 00:20:48,713
Of big dill in tonight's opener.
388
00:20:48,715 --> 00:20:51,215
They took virtually
zero damage in that fight.
389
00:20:51,217 --> 00:20:53,150
And we're being told
they're in great shape,
390
00:20:53,219 --> 00:20:57,388
Just resetting the screws
on that big old weapon.
391
00:20:57,390 --> 00:21:00,424
All right. Coming up, our
first round action continues
392
00:21:00,426 --> 00:21:05,162
As canada's lucky takes on the
swivel disc spinner of switchback.
393
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:08,599
That is next on
battlebots champions.
394
00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:10,234
Don't go anywhere.
395
00:21:16,542 --> 00:21:19,443
I'm having a great
time at the sin city slugfest.
396
00:21:19,512 --> 00:21:20,811
Are you?
397
00:21:20,813 --> 00:21:23,314
- Having a blast. Of course. Yeah.
- Of course, you are.
398
00:21:23,316 --> 00:21:27,418
All right. Up next, we got a
fun one between the flipper bot luck
399
00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:30,221
And one of the weirdest
bot here switchback.
400
00:21:30,223 --> 00:21:33,057
The winner will face
blacksmith in the next round
401
00:21:33,159 --> 00:21:36,193
And before we head to the
box, let's check in on blacksmith,
402
00:21:36,195 --> 00:21:38,429
Who we caught up
with during the break.
403
00:21:39,365 --> 00:21:41,032
We did a decent
amount of damage.
404
00:21:41,034 --> 00:21:43,401
There was lots of fire. It
was a pretty exciting match.
405
00:21:43,403 --> 00:21:44,635
And we got the decision.
406
00:21:44,737 --> 00:21:47,238
We have some maintenance
to do on the weapon arm
407
00:21:47,307 --> 00:21:49,607
In between each fight,
bushings get a little loose.
408
00:21:49,609 --> 00:21:52,910
So we had to replace them
every match, but no real damage.
409
00:21:52,912 --> 00:21:56,714
But we went ahead and built the whole
new front end out of spare parts, so.
410
00:21:57,517 --> 00:21:59,249
Very interesting.
411
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:03,054
Al saying they've preemptive
built a new front end for blacksmith.
412
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:06,824
Must see something on one of these
next two teams that they're about to fight
413
00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:09,060
Let's find out
who it'll be facing.
414
00:22:10,863 --> 00:22:14,565
Kenny, tell us about mark
demars and his bot, lucky.
415
00:22:14,633 --> 00:22:16,334
Well, this is a veteran squad.
416
00:22:16,402 --> 00:22:20,104
They impressed me last seaso
and made it to the round of 32.
417
00:22:20,106 --> 00:22:26,243
But as we found out, mark brought a
secret weapo from canada driver matt olse
418
00:22:26,312 --> 00:22:29,313
Who was one of the top
rc car drivers in the world
419
00:22:29,315 --> 00:22:34,719
This kid is a baby face kill and he's
improved every seco he's had in the box.
420
00:22:34,721 --> 00:22:36,420
So, he's not messing around.
421
00:22:36,422 --> 00:22:40,057
Taking on a bot called switchback,
captained by greg needel.
422
00:22:40,126 --> 00:22:41,825
Very interesting guy.
423
00:22:41,827 --> 00:22:46,630
Builds robot parts for nearl 10,000
schools in nearly 200 countries.
424
00:22:46,632 --> 00:22:49,433
So, we know he can
educate and build,
425
00:22:49,502 --> 00:22:52,002
But can he build a
winner inside of the box?
426
00:22:52,004 --> 00:22:56,440
Yeah, 2021 was thei rookie
season, and it was really a mixed ba
427
00:22:56,542 --> 00:22:58,409
The bot is an
interesting design.
428
00:22:58,411 --> 00:23:01,579
The weapon can
swivel 180 degrees,
429
00:23:01,581 --> 00:23:04,315
But it hasn't quite
worked like they've hoped.
430
00:23:04,317 --> 00:23:07,651
This slugfest is exactly the
type of event this team needs
431
00:23:07,753 --> 00:23:09,820
To get more stick
time, and I want to see
432
00:23:09,822 --> 00:23:12,156
If they can compete
with the big boys, chris.
433
00:23:13,626 --> 00:23:16,260
All right. Well, let's
take you straigh into the box
434
00:23:16,329 --> 00:23:19,330
Where the teams are
already set for their showdown.
435
00:23:20,633 --> 00:23:22,633
Red team, ready?
436
00:23:23,603 --> 00:23:24,735
Team switchback.
437
00:23:24,837 --> 00:23:25,837
Kenny, you're right.
438
00:23:25,938 --> 00:23:27,938
This is such an
interesting weapon.
439
00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:29,606
Yeah.
440
00:23:29,608 --> 00:23:33,244
And they can vary how much weight
is on it, going with 60 pounds here.
441
00:23:33,312 --> 00:23:34,612
Lots of energy.
442
00:23:35,581 --> 00:23:38,649
Blue team, ready?
443
00:23:38,751 --> 00:23:40,618
There's the
young driver, matt olsen,
444
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:42,520
Hitting the button for lucky
445
00:23:43,823 --> 00:23:46,424
He isn't just a
good rc car driver.
446
00:23:46,426 --> 00:23:50,961
He's won five straight canadian
championships in his weight class.
447
00:23:52,632 --> 00:23:53,831
You got this?
448
00:24:03,042 --> 00:24:07,044
Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
449
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,248
It is texas versus canada.
450
00:24:11,317 --> 00:24:14,218
The winner will meet
blacksmith in the next round
451
00:24:17,056 --> 00:24:19,623
Let the bot battle begin.
452
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,961
Lucky looking to get around
the side of switchback.
453
00:24:24,030 --> 00:24:26,163
Matt olsen now
putting it into reverse.
454
00:24:27,233 --> 00:24:28,432
-Oh! -Nice.
455
00:24:28,534 --> 00:24:31,001
Side shot by switchback.
456
00:24:31,003 --> 00:24:33,037
Hard shot there.
457
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:34,939
Man, any shot that lucky takes,
458
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,041
You always get a little
worried about their drive
459
00:24:37,109 --> 00:24:39,310
And their lifter as well.
460
00:24:39,312 --> 00:24:41,812
And switchback
having some issues as well.
461
00:24:41,814 --> 00:24:45,049
Now lucky's weapon
looks to be locked up.
462
00:24:45,084 --> 00:24:47,518
A lot of times when
you're having these kind of collisions,
463
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,386
This type of energy
in the battlebox...
464
00:24:49,388 --> 00:24:50,754
Oh, lucky is burning up.
465
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:52,656
He is really burning up.
466
00:24:52,725 --> 00:24:54,225
How good was that shot?
467
00:24:54,227 --> 00:24:56,527
There is smoke,
there is no movement.
468
00:24:56,529 --> 00:24:58,863
That is a lethal combination
469
00:24:58,964 --> 00:25:00,698
- oh, no.
- Ten, nine...
470
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:02,399
matt olsen just
shaking his head, saying,
471
00:25:02,401 --> 00:25:05,336
"there's nothing I can do
except get counted out."
472
00:25:05,404 --> 00:25:07,805
- five, four, three...
- That will do it.
473
00:25:07,807 --> 00:25:11,141
And switchback, one shot pony.
474
00:25:11,243 --> 00:25:12,643
Knockout.
475
00:25:12,712 --> 00:25:16,614
And moving
on to the next ground.
476
00:25:18,417 --> 00:25:20,918
Man, rough go for lucky.
477
00:25:24,123 --> 00:25:28,359
Well, kenny in battlebots
s ometimes one shot is all it takes.
478
00:25:28,460 --> 00:25:29,805
That's right.
In every season,
479
00:25:29,829 --> 00:25:32,229
These bots get more
and more powerful
480
00:25:32,231 --> 00:25:36,634
And switchback showing that
it's got one shot knockout power.
481
00:25:36,735 --> 00:25:39,603
Just a beautiful shot there
on the side by switchback.
482
00:25:39,605 --> 00:25:43,040
Yeah. That took
out lucky's abilit to drive.
483
00:25:43,042 --> 00:25:47,311
And then when it started
smoking, it was finished.
484
00:25:50,016 --> 00:25:51,415
Well, greg, did you know that
485
00:25:51,417 --> 00:25:53,951
That weapon was
gonna be that powerful?
486
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:55,953
I mean, we knew
it packed a punch.
487
00:25:55,955 --> 00:25:57,888
We weren't... We didn't
know we had one hit ko,
488
00:25:57,890 --> 00:26:00,958
But we knew it has a
lot of power in there.
489
00:26:01,027 --> 00:26:05,763
Well, that one fight mantra
certainly works at times in battlebots.
490
00:26:05,831 --> 00:26:09,400
But now you have to
win four all in one night.
491
00:26:09,402 --> 00:26:12,036
Do you have the ability
to switch things up?
492
00:26:12,104 --> 00:26:14,138
Look inside the
robot and get ready?
493
00:26:14,239 --> 00:26:15,406
Yeah. I mean, our...
494
00:26:15,408 --> 00:26:17,408
My team is awesome
and, you know,
495
00:26:17,410 --> 00:26:20,044
We're gonna tear the robot
down real quick, build it back up.
496
00:26:20,112 --> 00:26:21,690
We're gonna go through
every nut and bolt,
497
00:26:21,714 --> 00:26:24,715
Figure out what happened
here, and we'll fix the damage
498
00:26:24,717 --> 00:26:26,216
And be ready for the next fight.
499
00:26:26,218 --> 00:26:27,484
We look forward to seeing you.
500
00:26:27,486 --> 00:26:28,852
Yeah, thanks.
501
00:26:34,327 --> 00:26:37,328
So, it may have bee
a veteran versus a newbie.
502
00:26:37,330 --> 00:26:40,030
But it just goes to show
yo that any bot can win
503
00:26:40,032 --> 00:26:42,800
On any given night
here at battlebots.
504
00:26:42,802 --> 00:26:45,703
I guarantee you, the rest
of the robots right here
505
00:26:45,705 --> 00:26:47,583
- Paying attention because that thing...
- Seriously, yeah.
506
00:26:47,607 --> 00:26:49,506
Can definitely pack a punch.
507
00:26:49,508 --> 00:26:52,443
Switchback is moving on.
508
00:26:52,544 --> 00:26:55,779
All right. Coming up, we're gonna
see one of the most powerful bot
509
00:26:55,781 --> 00:26:59,483
Out of asia clash with a
crusher that does not die.
510
00:26:59,485 --> 00:27:02,620
It's blade taking on kraken
511
00:27:02,622 --> 00:27:06,056
And remember to punch their ticket
to our tournament of champions.
512
00:27:06,158 --> 00:27:09,827
Tonight's slugfest goes
through the gatekeeper skorpios,
513
00:27:09,829 --> 00:27:14,632
And this team is chomping at
the bit to get back in the battlebox.
514
00:27:15,935 --> 00:27:19,603
It's... It's skorpios.
515
00:27:19,605 --> 00:27:23,140
Diane and I are dying to
get into the golden bolt competition.
516
00:27:23,242 --> 00:27:25,609
I don't care who's coming
through our bracket.
517
00:27:25,611 --> 00:27:26,944
This is our spot.
518
00:27:27,013 --> 00:27:28,579
And you're not
getting through us.
519
00:27:28,581 --> 00:27:31,815
Skorpios having
a field day, kenny.
520
00:27:31,817 --> 00:27:34,051
Uh-oh. Here comes the pain.
521
00:27:34,053 --> 00:27:36,253
Skorpios loves a long match.
522
00:27:36,321 --> 00:27:39,323
Plenty of endurance, plenty
of energy to keep going.
523
00:27:39,325 --> 00:27:42,026
Scorpios pouring it
out at the end of this fight.
524
00:27:42,028 --> 00:27:44,828
Skorpios has the same
armor that took on tombstone.
525
00:27:44,830 --> 00:27:47,464
We have the same drive
to match witch doctor.
526
00:27:47,533 --> 00:27:49,933
And now we have a
weapon leaving holes
527
00:27:50,035 --> 00:27:51,735
And gashes in our opponent.
528
00:27:51,804 --> 00:27:54,605
It's skorpios
refusing the let up kenny.
529
00:27:54,607 --> 00:27:56,607
If the competitors
aren't sweating...
530
00:27:56,609 --> 00:27:59,410
huge hit!
531
00:28:00,212 --> 00:28:01,412
They should be.
532
00:28:11,524 --> 00:28:15,959
We continue on
here, it is the sin city slugfest,
533
00:28:15,961 --> 00:28:19,430
And we are down to our final
fight in tonight's opening round.
534
00:28:19,432 --> 00:28:22,800
In just a bit, we're gonna s
the carbon crushing kraken
535
00:28:22,802 --> 00:28:27,304
Take on a bot build as the
south korean tombstone blade
536
00:28:27,306 --> 00:28:30,240
Remember, whichever
challenger goes undefeated in the
537
00:28:30,342 --> 00:28:34,211
First three rounds is gonna take
on skorpios at the end of the night
538
00:28:34,313 --> 00:28:37,648
For a chance to punch its ticket
to our tournament of champions
539
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:41,151
And have a shot at that
beautiful new golden bolt trophy.
540
00:28:42,955 --> 00:28:45,155
All right. Before we
get to our next fight,
541
00:28:45,224 --> 00:28:47,224
Let's get an update
on switchback,
542
00:28:47,226 --> 00:28:51,528
Who we caught up with
after that one hit ko over lucky.
543
00:28:51,530 --> 00:28:54,698
It was a shot that caused them
damage and also us damage.
544
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:57,301
So, we're in the
process of fixing that,
545
00:28:57,303 --> 00:28:59,803
Trying to get
ready for our next...
546
00:28:59,805 --> 00:29:01,205
Our next fight.
547
00:29:01,207 --> 00:29:04,041
We did a little bit of damage to
one of our drive motors as well.
548
00:29:04,043 --> 00:29:07,344
But part of our strategy was
to be very, very serviceable.
549
00:29:07,446 --> 00:29:09,713
And so, we are...
550
00:29:09,715 --> 00:29:11,515
We're pretty good.
We'll be... We'll be ready.
551
00:29:11,517 --> 00:29:13,450
All right. This is
ready to go then.
552
00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:15,730
Now it sounds like they
got some serious work to do
553
00:29:15,754 --> 00:29:17,821
Before their duel
with blacksmith.
554
00:29:17,823 --> 00:29:20,124
But right now, let's get
yo back into the action,
555
00:29:20,126 --> 00:29:24,728
Starting with the beautifull crafted
blade led by cheoggyu hwang
556
00:29:24,730 --> 00:29:28,432
And his wife, gyu sangeun
ju who drives the robot.
557
00:29:28,534 --> 00:29:30,701
Yeah. This team
is well known overseas.
558
00:29:30,703 --> 00:29:33,804
As you said, they call
it the korean tombstone.
559
00:29:33,806 --> 00:29:37,107
Now, it didn't quite live up to
that moniker in its first appearance
560
00:29:37,109 --> 00:29:38,308
Here at battlebots,
561
00:29:38,310 --> 00:29:40,210
But I'm gonna chalk
that up to jitters.
562
00:29:40,212 --> 00:29:43,847
I've seen footage of it bein
as powerful as it is pretty
563
00:29:43,916 --> 00:29:46,150
And I'm hearing this
team is confident.
564
00:29:46,218 --> 00:29:48,252
We're going to see that tonight.
565
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,155
And we have brought
out the welcome mat for blade,
566
00:29:51,256 --> 00:29:56,026
As in matt spurk, the captain of
kraken, certainly a fan favorite.
567
00:29:56,028 --> 00:30:00,197
Everybody loves that fire
breathing dragon, that huge head.
568
00:30:00,199 --> 00:30:03,700
The question is, can it
win four fights in a night?
569
00:30:03,702 --> 00:30:05,002
What's wrong with big heads?
570
00:30:05,004 --> 00:30:06,637
Nothing at all. Okay.
571
00:30:06,738 --> 00:30:09,306
I am not staring at
your oversize dome.
572
00:30:09,308 --> 00:30:11,286
I don't know whether I'd
rather have a million dollars
573
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:13,944
Or kenny's head full of
quarters to be honest with you.
574
00:30:14,046 --> 00:30:16,713
Well, listen, if
an atomic bomb went off,
575
00:30:16,715 --> 00:30:19,716
It would be the roaches
and kraken that survive.
576
00:30:19,718 --> 00:30:24,421
This bot has only not gone
the distance once this decad
577
00:30:24,423 --> 00:30:28,158
The problem, though, has been
its inability to score damage points
578
00:30:28,227 --> 00:30:31,128
In what's become an
increasingly kinetic spor
579
00:30:31,130 --> 00:30:35,399
This is the perfect opportunity
to prove the design is still viable.
580
00:30:35,401 --> 00:30:38,936
But if they lose, matt spur might
have to do some soul searching.
581
00:30:40,206 --> 00:30:41,605
Where do I put the quarters?
582
00:30:41,607 --> 00:30:43,407
Is there a slot open back here?
583
00:30:43,409 --> 00:30:44,842
I'll keep searching for it.
584
00:30:44,910 --> 00:30:46,310
Faruq, take it away.
585
00:30:50,749 --> 00:30:55,018
In the red square
from seoul, south korea.
586
00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:58,755
He's here to k-pop a
cap in the competition.
587
00:30:58,824 --> 00:31:01,325
It's blade!
588
00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:09,800
Cheoggyu hwang, I wasn't joking
589
00:31:09,802 --> 00:31:11,902
When I told you it
was a beautiful bot.
590
00:31:11,904 --> 00:31:13,481
Yeah, and one
of the prettiest things
591
00:31:13,505 --> 00:31:15,305
About it is that weapon.
592
00:31:15,307 --> 00:31:18,308
This is a 60-pound hard ox bar.
593
00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:21,979
Different than the one we saw
snap against lucky last season.
594
00:31:21,981 --> 00:31:24,848
But even if this bot is
firing on all cylinders,
595
00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:28,151
As we said, kraken is
maybe the toughest bot
596
00:31:28,253 --> 00:31:30,254
On the planet to knock out.
597
00:31:30,322 --> 00:31:32,522
Big test here for team blade
598
00:31:36,829 --> 00:31:40,631
in the blue square
from titusville, florida.
599
00:31:40,633 --> 00:31:42,733
Sea serpent?
600
00:31:42,834 --> 00:31:45,402
Nah, he's an a-plus serpent.
601
00:31:45,404 --> 00:31:47,704
It's kraken.
602
00:31:53,012 --> 00:31:55,612
Few people
get more into battlebots
603
00:31:55,614 --> 00:31:58,782
Than matt spurk
and his entire family,
604
00:31:58,784 --> 00:32:02,052
The outfits, the
look of the robot.
605
00:32:02,154 --> 00:32:04,955
Yeah, absolutely,
a true family affair here.
606
00:32:04,957 --> 00:32:06,556
Everybody has a role.
607
00:32:06,625 --> 00:32:07,925
Aw.
608
00:32:07,927 --> 00:32:09,326
Well, you know,
609
00:32:09,328 --> 00:32:11,306
The kids think they have
a shot at winning this brack
610
00:32:11,330 --> 00:32:12,829
And punching their ticket.
611
00:32:12,831 --> 00:32:15,299
Matt spurk just can't
let his opponent's
612
00:32:15,301 --> 00:32:17,401
Spinner get up to full speed
613
00:32:17,403 --> 00:32:19,036
Get in there and crush blad
614
00:32:19,038 --> 00:32:21,038
With those teeth and
they should move on.
615
00:32:55,941 --> 00:32:58,308
We are not excited
about this match at all.
616
00:32:58,310 --> 00:33:00,610
This is not who we
want to be facing
617
00:33:00,612 --> 00:33:02,746
In the first round of
the sin city slugfest.
618
00:33:02,815 --> 00:33:04,014
They are a mean machine.
619
00:33:04,016 --> 00:33:07,050
Just a big, super sharp blade.
620
00:33:07,152 --> 00:33:08,485
He has a little maneuver
621
00:33:08,487 --> 00:33:10,754
Where he tries to spin in place.
622
00:33:10,823 --> 00:33:13,056
If he starts going into
that tornado move,
623
00:33:13,058 --> 00:33:16,026
We're just gonna back off and do
our own little tornado move and see
624
00:33:16,028 --> 00:33:17,728
If we can draw him into us.
625
00:33:17,730 --> 00:33:19,463
We know it's not
gonna be an easy match
626
00:33:19,564 --> 00:33:21,064
By any stretch of
the imagination.
627
00:33:27,339 --> 00:33:29,306
Robots, activate.
628
00:33:31,210 --> 00:33:33,410
You mentioned
kraken's teeth, kenny.
629
00:33:33,412 --> 00:33:37,414
So that bot has 100,000
poun of crushing force.
630
00:33:37,416 --> 00:33:38,749
That's more than what you'd feel
631
00:33:38,817 --> 00:33:41,518
If all the weight from
a fully loaded semi-tru
632
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,421
Was concentrated
right on top of you.
633
00:33:44,423 --> 00:33:48,058
Ooh, those jaws
are not messing around.
634
00:33:48,060 --> 00:33:50,627
Will that be too
muc for blade to handle?
635
00:33:50,629 --> 00:33:52,596
Or will the team from
south korea prove
636
00:33:52,598 --> 00:33:55,932
They can dominate on
two different continents
637
00:33:55,934 --> 00:34:00,404
The answer when battlebots
c hampion continues.
638
00:34:08,780 --> 00:34:12,249
Welcome back to battlebots
champions sin city slugfest.
639
00:34:12,317 --> 00:34:14,851
We are all set for
our final first round
640
00:34:14,953 --> 00:34:18,021
Matchup between
blade and kraken.
641
00:34:18,023 --> 00:34:21,158
Winner gets a date with
bloodsport in the next round.
642
00:34:22,628 --> 00:34:24,061
Yeah, everything looks great.
643
00:34:35,307 --> 00:34:38,041
Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
644
00:34:38,043 --> 00:34:41,311
Fight! Fight! Fight!
645
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:51,321
Let the bot battle begin.
646
00:34:51,323 --> 00:34:52,923
Kraken on the attack.
647
00:34:52,925 --> 00:34:56,126
Blade's weapon up to full speed.
648
00:34:56,128 --> 00:34:59,062
Oh, my goodness.
649
00:34:59,064 --> 00:35:00,764
Oh.
650
00:35:00,832 --> 00:35:02,099
That thing hit so hard.
651
00:35:02,101 --> 00:35:03,200
Wow.
652
00:35:03,202 --> 00:35:04,901
How are the teeth on kraken
653
00:35:04,903 --> 00:35:06,002
still there.
654
00:35:06,004 --> 00:35:07,404
And that is saying a lot.
655
00:35:07,406 --> 00:35:08,571
Oh-oh.
656
00:35:08,573 --> 00:35:11,108
Is blade stuck or
is it just biding its tim
657
00:35:11,110 --> 00:35:12,242
seems to be okay,
658
00:35:12,344 --> 00:35:14,711
But those were
huge collisio to start.
659
00:35:14,713 --> 00:35:16,113
Whoa.
660
00:35:16,115 --> 00:35:18,148
Just took care of the narwhal.
661
00:35:18,250 --> 00:35:21,118
Oh, kraken backing
u into that short corner now.
662
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,719
Trying to draw blade in.
663
00:35:23,722 --> 00:35:25,755
Blade knows not to get too close
664
00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:28,625
Because they don't want
their blade to hit the wall
665
00:35:28,627 --> 00:35:31,261
and also
maybe kraken trying to...
666
00:35:31,330 --> 00:35:35,098
Oh, that was impressive.
667
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:36,833
Kraken trying to get back over.
668
00:35:36,935 --> 00:35:40,704
Let's see if he can use tha
big old florian type dome.
669
00:35:40,706 --> 00:35:41,805
Yes.
670
00:35:41,807 --> 00:35:43,327
That big heads are
good for something.
671
00:35:45,911 --> 00:35:47,310
Wow.
672
00:35:47,312 --> 00:35:50,147
Kraken eating a
ton of shots here.
673
00:35:50,248 --> 00:35:52,616
Kraken now has
blade by the tail.
674
00:35:52,618 --> 00:35:54,117
And this is what it does.
675
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:56,720
Absorbing that
punishment goes to town
676
00:35:56,722 --> 00:35:58,955
With those crushing teeth.
677
00:35:58,957 --> 00:36:04,161
A 100,000 pounds of pressur
kraken has in that jaw line
678
00:36:04,262 --> 00:36:06,263
blade might want
to shut that weapon down.
679
00:36:06,298 --> 00:36:08,331
Kraken trying to drive
them into the wall.
680
00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:09,933
Wide...
681
00:36:09,935 --> 00:36:11,735
Oh!
682
00:36:11,803 --> 00:36:13,303
Feeding him right
into the screws...
683
00:36:13,305 --> 00:36:14,604
oh, look at that.
684
00:36:14,606 --> 00:36:16,706
The blade is destroying
kraken's wheel.
685
00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:18,041
Oh, my gosh.
686
00:36:18,043 --> 00:36:21,211
It totally backfired on
matt spurk's kraken.
687
00:36:21,213 --> 00:36:22,512
Kraken, let go.
688
00:36:22,514 --> 00:36:23,747
Let go!
689
00:36:23,815 --> 00:36:26,049
Oh, my gosh.
690
00:36:26,051 --> 00:36:28,818
Let's see if kraken
still has the ability to rig
691
00:36:28,820 --> 00:36:30,253
Where it was after that.
692
00:36:30,322 --> 00:36:31,922
Oh, this fight is so good.
693
00:36:31,924 --> 00:36:33,056
Whoa.
694
00:36:33,124 --> 00:36:35,525
Kraken always knows
how to make it a war.
695
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:37,827
Both bots stumbling around.
696
00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:39,829
Do they have the
controlled movement?
697
00:36:39,831 --> 00:36:41,164
That is the big question
698
00:36:41,233 --> 00:36:44,000
When it comes to
avoiding a countdown.
699
00:36:44,002 --> 00:36:47,103
Kraken having troubl
with both of its wheels now
700
00:36:47,105 --> 00:36:49,039
blade, though,
trying to finish the job.
701
00:36:49,140 --> 00:36:50,985
They're having some
issues on the battlebox floor.
702
00:36:51,009 --> 00:36:52,842
Now starting to
move a little bit better
703
00:36:52,911 --> 00:36:54,043
Under a minute to go.
704
00:36:54,045 --> 00:36:56,213
That means the kill
saws are active like...
705
00:36:57,616 --> 00:36:59,549
Oh, my god.
706
00:36:59,651 --> 00:37:01,751
Part of kraken's
tongue just flew out.
707
00:37:01,820 --> 00:37:04,354
I can't back
out, my tongue is hurt.
708
00:37:06,058 --> 00:37:07,791
Look at these two wiggle wobble,
709
00:37:07,793 --> 00:37:10,827
Doing it all with
40 seconds to go.
710
00:37:10,829 --> 00:37:13,230
And now kraken's
hea just got lowered
711
00:37:13,232 --> 00:37:14,898
By blade's blade.
712
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:16,633
Oh, nice shot there.
713
00:37:16,735 --> 00:37:19,402
That little spin
move from blade.
714
00:37:19,404 --> 00:37:21,504
Now kraken's in
trouble now, chris.
715
00:37:21,506 --> 00:37:23,540
Under 30 to go.
716
00:37:23,575 --> 00:37:26,009
Can matt spurk find
a way to survive?
717
00:37:26,011 --> 00:37:29,713
Beat blade's weapon and
outlast the team from south korea.
718
00:37:31,049 --> 00:37:32,315
What a fight.
719
00:37:32,317 --> 00:37:34,351
Kraken is just tired.
720
00:37:34,419 --> 00:37:37,220
How are they able to take
these hits, I have no idea.
721
00:37:37,222 --> 00:37:38,521
Incredible durability.
722
00:37:38,523 --> 00:37:40,824
Whoa, there goes that.
723
00:37:40,826 --> 00:37:42,626
Now it's tongueless.
724
00:37:42,628 --> 00:37:46,830
Oh, here in the waning
secon of a remarkable fight.
725
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:50,200
We're done. We're done.
726
00:37:50,202 --> 00:37:56,039
That is cheoggyu's blade to show
something special to the judges.
727
00:37:56,141 --> 00:37:57,607
Wow.
728
00:38:01,513 --> 00:38:03,413
Kenny, what a fight
729
00:38:03,415 --> 00:38:05,248
This was a much improved bla
730
00:38:05,317 --> 00:38:07,751
From the one we saw
in the 2021 season.
731
00:38:07,852 --> 00:38:10,720
It was durable and
it was dangerous.
732
00:38:10,722 --> 00:38:14,357
Chris, this was an
awesome fight back and forth.
733
00:38:14,426 --> 00:38:18,228
Blade was just on fire here
in this fight against kraken
734
00:38:18,230 --> 00:38:19,462
Did some serious damage.
735
00:38:19,531 --> 00:38:20,563
Whoa.
736
00:38:20,665 --> 00:38:21,665
What a hit.
737
00:38:21,733 --> 00:38:23,099
Kraken absorbed the pain
738
00:38:23,101 --> 00:38:24,300
And then went to work
739
00:38:24,303 --> 00:38:26,936
Trying to sink those
crushing teeth into blade
740
00:38:27,005 --> 00:38:28,805
And actually finally got a bite.
741
00:38:28,807 --> 00:38:30,040
It did.
742
00:38:30,042 --> 00:38:33,009
They were able to get
ahold of the side of blade,
743
00:38:33,011 --> 00:38:34,244
Tried to do some damage
744
00:38:34,313 --> 00:38:36,212
And tried to run
it into the bot.
745
00:38:36,214 --> 00:38:38,615
But it kind of came back
to bite them a little bit,
746
00:38:38,617 --> 00:38:39,849
No pun intended.
747
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:43,453
Blade ended up
shredding their tire,
748
00:38:43,522 --> 00:38:46,056
Continued its
onslaught after that,
749
00:38:46,157 --> 00:38:47,457
Credit as always to kraken,
750
00:38:47,526 --> 00:38:49,492
A bot that will go
down in history
751
00:38:49,494 --> 00:38:51,561
As one of the
toughest ever built.
752
00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:54,431
But it just ran into a
buzzs in blade here tonight.
753
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,500
Let's throw
it out over to faruq.
754
00:39:01,106 --> 00:39:03,406
The results from
the judges are in.
755
00:39:07,145 --> 00:39:10,547
The winner by
unanimous decision is...
756
00:39:17,622 --> 00:39:19,055
Blade!
757
00:39:31,203 --> 00:39:32,736
Cheog.
758
00:39:32,804 --> 00:39:33,837
Hi. Hi.
759
00:39:33,938 --> 00:39:34,938
Hi.
760
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:37,107
How happy are
you with that victory?
761
00:39:37,109 --> 00:39:38,808
It's so happy and exciting.
762
00:39:40,045 --> 00:39:43,279
What was it like
when your blade was doing
763
00:39:43,281 --> 00:39:45,715
That much damage to kraken?
764
00:39:45,717 --> 00:39:47,117
Ah, it was just awesome.
765
00:39:49,721 --> 00:39:51,121
Cheog, you're big winner.
766
00:39:51,123 --> 00:39:53,323
Congratulations
to you and blade.
767
00:39:57,662 --> 00:39:58,828
Thank you so much.
768
00:39:58,830 --> 00:40:00,310
Great fight,
guys. Great fight.
769
00:40:03,034 --> 00:40:05,902
Matt, once again,
you go the full three minutes.
770
00:40:05,904 --> 00:40:09,706
It felt like you just
couldn't get enough bites
771
00:40:09,708 --> 00:40:11,207
And control of blade.
772
00:40:11,209 --> 00:40:12,842
Is that the way it went?
773
00:40:12,944 --> 00:40:13,943
Yeah, I think so.
774
00:40:13,945 --> 00:40:15,078
I mean, that's a tough robot.
775
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:16,712
They never stopped spinning.
776
00:40:16,714 --> 00:40:19,048
We tried to get on 'em, and they
would just launch us across the arena.
777
00:40:19,050 --> 00:40:20,194
By the time we got back to 'em,
778
00:40:20,218 --> 00:40:21,251
They're back up to speed.
779
00:40:21,352 --> 00:40:22,592
So, I mean, that's just the way
780
00:40:22,654 --> 00:40:24,254
It goes with that
type of spinner.
781
00:40:24,322 --> 00:40:26,523
On your way out
of the tunnel today,
782
00:40:26,525 --> 00:40:29,526
We saw the whole family
give kraken a big old hug.
783
00:40:30,662 --> 00:40:34,564
Is it still stable enough to
keep that pet in the house?
784
00:40:34,666 --> 00:40:36,933
Oh, so we love kraken.
785
00:40:37,002 --> 00:40:38,234
Love the bot.
786
00:40:40,405 --> 00:40:42,705
But no.
787
00:40:42,707 --> 00:40:44,407
Uh, it's...
788
00:40:49,114 --> 00:40:50,713
It's time to be
done with kraken.
789
00:41:01,059 --> 00:41:02,625
Let's go, kraken!
790
00:41:04,062 --> 00:41:05,562
Let's go, kraken!
791
00:41:15,106 --> 00:41:19,008
Matt, thank you to you and
your entire family for giving us
792
00:41:19,010 --> 00:41:21,211
So many great
memories with kraken.
793
00:41:21,213 --> 00:41:23,146
The good news
is the spurk family
794
00:41:23,248 --> 00:41:24,414
Will be back, correct?
795
00:41:24,416 --> 00:41:25,882
The spurk family will not die.
796
00:41:25,884 --> 00:41:26,950
We'll be back.
797
00:41:27,018 --> 00:41:28,329
If we had a robot
that could dish out
798
00:41:28,353 --> 00:41:29,486
The damage like orby,
799
00:41:29,488 --> 00:41:31,321
With the reliability of kraken,
800
00:41:31,323 --> 00:41:33,234
We would have something
that would take the giant nut.
801
00:41:33,258 --> 00:41:34,818
So that's what we're
gonna do next year.
802
00:41:34,859 --> 00:41:37,427
Come back with something
bigger and badder than ever.
803
00:41:40,131 --> 00:41:42,098
Looking forward to
it, matt. Thank you.
804
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:43,700
Thank you.
805
00:41:49,107 --> 00:41:51,241
So matt spurk
officially retiring,
806
00:41:51,309 --> 00:41:53,142
A fan-favorite in kraken.
807
00:41:53,211 --> 00:41:54,444
And as you could see,
808
00:41:54,512 --> 00:41:56,513
Battlebots is a whole
lot more than just
809
00:41:56,515 --> 00:41:59,215
A robot competition
for these teams.
810
00:41:59,217 --> 00:42:00,450
You heard matt, though.
811
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:02,017
They will be back.
812
00:42:03,555 --> 00:42:06,856
And with that, our second
round of action is all set.
813
00:42:06,925 --> 00:42:08,725
Blade will take on bloodsport,
814
00:42:08,727 --> 00:42:13,329
And then it's gonna be blacksmith
squaring off with switchback.
815
00:42:13,331 --> 00:42:17,834
Who's gonna run the gauntle
and earn a match up with skorpios?
816
00:42:17,903 --> 00:42:22,105
So far in these slugfests, we've
seen gatekeepers get tortured,
817
00:42:22,107 --> 00:42:25,108
Tossed and split into pieces
818
00:42:25,110 --> 00:42:28,144
What kind of carnage does
tonight's bracket have in store?
819
00:42:28,246 --> 00:42:29,412
We're going to find out
820
00:42:29,414 --> 00:42:32,215
When battlebots
c hampion continues.
821
00:42:40,725 --> 00:42:44,727
We continue on, here on battlebots
champion, at sin city slugfest.
822
00:42:44,729 --> 00:42:46,563
And we are just a few weeks away
823
00:42:46,631 --> 00:42:48,398
From the golden bolt tournament,
824
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,200
Where one team of destiny
will have a chance to hoist
825
00:42:51,202 --> 00:42:55,471
The newest trophy on the
battlebots circui the golden bolt.
826
00:42:55,507 --> 00:42:58,942
Who will be the next to punch
their ticket to that exclusive field?
827
00:43:00,812 --> 00:43:03,479
Well, tonight it all
goes through skorpios
828
00:43:03,481 --> 00:43:06,015
Who we're getting a
live look at right now.
829
00:43:06,017 --> 00:43:07,483
And it looks like
they've got two different
830
00:43:07,485 --> 00:43:08,952
Chassis down there,
831
00:43:09,020 --> 00:43:11,287
Trying to prepare
for multiple scenarios.
832
00:43:11,289 --> 00:43:12,422
And you know what?
833
00:43:12,424 --> 00:43:14,223
That's probably
a pretty good call
834
00:43:14,225 --> 00:43:16,159
Because there's a
wide rang of weapons
835
00:43:16,227 --> 00:43:19,462
On the four robots that
could potentially take them on.
836
00:43:19,531 --> 00:43:23,299
And right now, we've got two
highly kineti horizontal spinners
837
00:43:23,301 --> 00:43:25,902
About to collide in the box
838
00:43:25,904 --> 00:43:27,403
Let's start with bloodsport.
839
00:43:27,405 --> 00:43:30,940
Earlier tonight, a
ko against big dill,
840
00:43:30,942 --> 00:43:34,544
And certainly reminiscent of
the sort of style they showed
841
00:43:34,613 --> 00:43:36,446
When they were the
number tw overall seed.
842
00:43:36,514 --> 00:43:38,014
That's right.
They're all about speed.
843
00:43:38,016 --> 00:43:39,415
They're all about power.
844
00:43:39,417 --> 00:43:40,917
Their driving was on point.
845
00:43:40,919 --> 00:43:42,384
They're looking
very strong right now.
846
00:43:42,386 --> 00:43:45,321
Taking on blade and their
captain, cheoggyu hwang.
847
00:43:45,323 --> 00:43:47,790
How excited was he
after winning a judge
848
00:43:47,792 --> 00:43:49,058
Decision against kraken?
849
00:43:49,060 --> 00:43:50,380
And let's remember,
this is a team
850
00:43:50,461 --> 00:43:52,161
That's had a lot of
success overseas,
851
00:43:52,230 --> 00:43:54,530
But it is so different when
you come here to battlebots.
852
00:43:54,532 --> 00:43:56,099
And listen, they
would have knocked out
853
00:43:56,101 --> 00:43:59,702
Any other robot in the world
except when they faced krake
854
00:43:59,704 --> 00:44:01,137
Who's pretty much unkillable
855
00:44:01,206 --> 00:44:02,572
Yeah.
856
00:44:02,574 --> 00:44:05,808
The winner gets
one step closer to skorpios
857
00:44:05,810 --> 00:44:07,610
Let's find out who it will be.
858
00:44:07,612 --> 00:44:08,945
Faruq?
859
00:44:11,750 --> 00:44:15,952
In the red square
from seoul, south korea,
860
00:44:16,021 --> 00:44:19,756
The movie blade
is rated 7.1 on imdb,
861
00:44:19,857 --> 00:44:22,425
But this version
is a perfect 10.
862
00:44:22,427 --> 00:44:25,328
Give it up for blade!
863
00:44:30,402 --> 00:44:32,035
Now, kenny, we didn't have time
864
00:44:32,136 --> 00:44:35,004
To check in with blade's
pi after that kraken fight.
865
00:44:35,006 --> 00:44:36,906
But what are you
hearing from that team?
866
00:44:36,908 --> 00:44:38,274
Well, one of the sho
867
00:44:38,276 --> 00:44:41,978
They landed on kraken actual
broke blade's weapon motor.
868
00:44:42,013 --> 00:44:45,581
So they had to rip that out and
replace it as quickly as possible.
869
00:44:45,583 --> 00:44:47,850
But I'm hearing the
bot is good to go now
870
00:44:47,919 --> 00:44:51,821
And they are ready to land some
more of those massive hits on bloodsport.
871
00:45:01,499 --> 00:45:05,034
In the blue square from
cambridge, massachusetts,
872
00:45:05,103 --> 00:45:08,705
The movie bloodsport
is rated 6.8 on imdb,
873
00:45:08,707 --> 00:45:11,307
But this version
is a perfect 10.
874
00:45:11,309 --> 00:45:14,143
Give it up for bloodsport!
875
00:45:19,317 --> 00:45:22,085
For the second time
tonight it is team bloodspor
876
00:45:22,087 --> 00:45:24,520
Looking to do some
jean-claude van damage
877
00:45:24,522 --> 00:45:26,689
To the squad from south korea.
878
00:45:26,691 --> 00:45:29,158
That blade is nasty
and a lot of bots
879
00:45:29,260 --> 00:45:31,461
Have found that out
the hard way, kenny.
880
00:45:31,529 --> 00:45:32,562
Yeah.
881
00:45:32,630 --> 00:45:33,830
And unlike their opponent,
882
00:45:33,832 --> 00:45:35,932
Bloodsport took almost no damage
883
00:45:35,934 --> 00:45:37,300
In their first fight.
884
00:45:37,302 --> 00:45:40,603
But look for justin to
get a hit in early here.
885
00:45:40,605 --> 00:45:42,438
Blade likes to do
that spin attack
886
00:45:42,507 --> 00:45:44,307
That leaves its caboose open
887
00:45:44,309 --> 00:45:47,510
I think justin can and
will use that opportunit
888
00:45:47,512 --> 00:45:49,345
To not go spinner to spinner
889
00:46:17,609 --> 00:46:20,109
Orby is a really heavy hitter.
890
00:46:20,111 --> 00:46:22,311
And they've had some
success in the past in korea.
891
00:46:22,313 --> 00:46:23,546
I think it's pretty 50/50.
892
00:46:23,615 --> 00:46:25,615
We're going to have to
take hits from each other.
893
00:46:25,617 --> 00:46:26,949
Who breaks
first, we'll find out.
894
00:46:26,951 --> 00:46:29,719
It's very rare to see an
overhead spinner like ours
895
00:46:29,721 --> 00:46:32,355
And a mid-cutter like blade's
to go against each other.
896
00:46:32,390 --> 00:46:34,001
So I think it's going to
be really exciting to see
897
00:46:34,025 --> 00:46:36,159
Like a new style of
bots fight each other.
898
00:46:38,663 --> 00:46:40,262
Robots activate.
899
00:46:42,634 --> 00:46:45,835
Kenny, the key for
blade her in this round is what?
900
00:46:45,904 --> 00:46:48,104
Pretty simple, hit and hit hard.
901
00:46:48,106 --> 00:46:50,206
That's a 72-pound blade
902
00:46:50,208 --> 00:46:53,943
Spinning at around
210 miles an hour.
903
00:46:53,945 --> 00:46:57,513
What sort of change did
bloodsport make for this fight?
904
00:46:57,515 --> 00:46:58,793
They got rid of the wedgelets.
905
00:46:58,817 --> 00:47:00,283
They just went
with a strip of armor
906
00:47:00,285 --> 00:47:02,518
There around their robot.
907
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,520
And they went with
a slightly longer blade
908
00:47:21,506 --> 00:47:23,739
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
909
00:47:23,808 --> 00:47:26,843
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
910
00:47:34,152 --> 00:47:36,219
Let the bot battle begin.
911
00:47:37,488 --> 00:47:38,721
Whoa!
912
00:47:38,723 --> 00:47:40,523
Blade shows
bloodsport his backside
913
00:47:40,525 --> 00:47:42,458
And absorbs a jab.
914
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:43,840
Blade just taking a second blow.
915
00:47:45,563 --> 00:47:46,729
Oh, no.
916
00:47:46,731 --> 00:47:48,064
Oh, no.
917
00:47:48,165 --> 00:47:49,532
Blade's got something moving
918
00:47:50,501 --> 00:47:54,003
Blade, the weapon's
moving, the bot is not.
919
00:47:54,005 --> 00:47:57,106
I'm not so sure bloodsport is
gonna go in for another sniff.
920
00:47:57,108 --> 00:47:58,741
We got to see some
movement here.
921
00:47:58,843 --> 00:48:01,110
No, it looks
like they don't have to.
922
00:48:01,112 --> 00:48:03,846
This is going to be heartbre
for the south koreans.
923
00:48:03,948 --> 00:48:04,980
Ten, nine, eight...
924
00:48:04,982 --> 00:48:07,516
this is it.
Countdown started.
925
00:48:07,518 --> 00:48:09,952
Cheoggyu hwang
is beside himself.
926
00:48:11,422 --> 00:48:13,956
It is over.
927
00:48:17,629 --> 00:48:19,829
Blade is fini!
928
00:48:26,604 --> 00:48:28,738
Well, kenny, not
a lot to cover here.
929
00:48:28,806 --> 00:48:30,039
Yeah.
930
00:48:30,041 --> 00:48:32,108
You know what, felt like
team blade wasn't really
931
00:48:32,110 --> 00:48:33,743
Scheming to win this fight
932
00:48:33,844 --> 00:48:36,512
As much as they
were trying to not lose.
933
00:48:36,514 --> 00:48:39,548
Never gave themselves a
shot to deliver the weapon
934
00:48:39,550 --> 00:48:41,117
They had success against kraken
935
00:48:41,119 --> 00:48:43,819
With an aggressive
offensive style.
936
00:48:43,821 --> 00:48:46,856
Chose to go defensive
here, and it cost them.
937
00:48:50,561 --> 00:48:52,561
Well, justin, it
looked like blade
938
00:48:52,663 --> 00:48:54,730
Wanted to take the
defensive approach,
939
00:48:54,732 --> 00:48:57,600
And it ended up
costing them the fight.
940
00:48:57,602 --> 00:48:59,835
Yeah, man, that
blade is so scary.
941
00:48:59,904 --> 00:49:02,305
Like, I was looking at that,
and I'm like, please, like,
942
00:49:02,307 --> 00:49:03,539
Just stay high centered.
943
00:49:03,541 --> 00:49:05,508
Like, I'm sure it would have
been a much better show
944
00:49:05,510 --> 00:49:10,046
If I kept hitting them, but
oh, the blade is way too scary.
945
00:49:10,147 --> 00:49:12,715
All right, justin, congratulations
on winning that one.
946
00:49:12,717 --> 00:49:14,050
Thank you.
947
00:49:21,326 --> 00:49:24,460
Well, not to diminis
the success it's had oversea
948
00:49:24,528 --> 00:49:26,629
But team blade
has come to find out
949
00:49:26,631 --> 00:49:28,297
The world's premier
robot competition
950
00:49:28,299 --> 00:49:31,600
Is just a whole
different ball game.
951
00:49:31,602 --> 00:49:34,337
All right, so bloodsport
moves one step closer
952
00:49:34,438 --> 00:49:36,339
To a showdown with scorpios
953
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,241
Remember, those two actuall
fought a few seasons ago.
954
00:49:39,343 --> 00:49:41,410
Bloodsport did win that matc
955
00:49:41,412 --> 00:49:43,112
But there's one
more challenge to go
956
00:49:43,114 --> 00:49:46,549
For justin marple squad
before a potential rematch.
957
00:49:46,617 --> 00:49:50,119
They're going to face the winner
of switchback versus blacksmith,
958
00:49:50,121 --> 00:49:51,954
Which is coming up next.
959
00:49:51,956 --> 00:49:54,724
It's disc spinner taking
on power hammer
960
00:49:54,726 --> 00:49:57,560
When battlebots
c hampion continues.
961
00:50:07,805 --> 00:50:10,039
All right, we continue
on at the end of the night,
962
00:50:10,108 --> 00:50:14,443
Skorpios said, yeah, who
wants a shot at my crown?
963
00:50:14,512 --> 00:50:17,747
And there's one of the teams
skorpios may have to face,
964
00:50:17,815 --> 00:50:20,516
Bloodsport, just made
quick work of blade.
965
00:50:20,518 --> 00:50:23,519
Let's hear from
captain justin marple.
966
00:50:23,521 --> 00:50:25,788
No way it's a match where
you expect to be destroyed
967
00:50:25,790 --> 00:50:26,922
And torn apart.
968
00:50:26,924 --> 00:50:29,125
We didn't take a scratch,
which is remarkable.
969
00:50:29,127 --> 00:50:30,393
So we're actually
in a pretty good spot.
970
00:50:30,395 --> 00:50:32,828
But hopefully we can
not take too much damage
971
00:50:32,830 --> 00:50:35,264
In our next couple of
fights and get through.
972
00:50:35,333 --> 00:50:38,701
So bloodsport
comes out unscathed yet agai
973
00:50:38,703 --> 00:50:40,002
Just looks like
they're getting ready
974
00:50:40,004 --> 00:50:41,937
To make a weapon change.
975
00:50:42,006 --> 00:50:44,306
And they're doing that
because they could see two
976
00:50:44,308 --> 00:50:48,310
Wildly different weapons,
blacksmith's flaming power hammer
977
00:50:48,312 --> 00:50:51,547
Or switchback's
swivel disc spinner.
978
00:50:51,616 --> 00:50:54,617
Now, kenny, blacksmith is definitely
the more experienced team here.
979
00:50:54,685 --> 00:50:56,218
And al kindle's bot looked like
980
00:50:56,220 --> 00:50:59,288
The old blacksmith in that
first fight against deadlift
981
00:50:59,290 --> 00:51:01,957
yeah, definitely put
that power hammer to good use.
982
00:51:01,959 --> 00:51:04,860
He was able to
penetrate deadlift's armor.
983
00:51:04,929 --> 00:51:07,830
But I think if al wants to
g all the way to skorpios,
984
00:51:07,832 --> 00:51:11,033
We're gonna need to see him
get a knockout at some point
985
00:51:11,102 --> 00:51:12,835
switchback, on the other end,
986
00:51:12,937 --> 00:51:14,403
Really did some
good damage kenny.
987
00:51:14,405 --> 00:51:16,806
Yeah. Again, that
spinner when fully loaded
988
00:51:16,808 --> 00:51:19,008
Is one of the
heaviest at battlebots
989
00:51:19,010 --> 00:51:21,210
And it made quick
enough work of lucky.
990
00:51:21,212 --> 00:51:24,013
We did hear that they
had to replace a drive motor
991
00:51:24,015 --> 00:51:25,414
After that fight though.
992
00:51:25,416 --> 00:51:26,949
So this will really show
993
00:51:26,951 --> 00:51:29,452
How their pit crew
handles pressure.
994
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,254
Good battle here
in round tw faruq?
995
00:51:35,593 --> 00:51:39,428
In the red square,
from coppell texas,
996
00:51:39,430 --> 00:51:44,533
This deadly drum's about to
play a solo all over your face.
997
00:51:44,635 --> 00:51:47,736
Give it up for switchback!
998
00:51:52,410 --> 00:51:54,944
Captain greg
needel on the left there.
999
00:51:55,012 --> 00:51:56,912
How does he bring his
team one step closer
1000
00:51:56,914 --> 00:51:59,615
To facing skorpios?
1001
00:51:59,617 --> 00:52:02,118
You know, because
the geometry of these two bots
1002
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,653
Actually think switchback
has a good chance
1003
00:52:04,655 --> 00:52:06,922
Of damaging blacksmith's weapon.
1004
00:52:06,924 --> 00:52:08,858
That would be huge
in the judge's eyes.
1005
00:52:08,926 --> 00:52:12,061
So do that and go the
distan and we can see it.
1006
00:52:16,234 --> 00:52:19,802
In the blue square
from edison, new jersey.
1007
00:52:19,804 --> 00:52:25,007
He came from the garden
state to make you a vegetable.
1008
00:52:25,009 --> 00:52:28,444
Give it up for blacksmith.
1009
00:52:31,716 --> 00:52:34,917
For the second time
tonight it is team blacksmith against.
1010
00:52:34,919 --> 00:52:37,853
Switchback's
weird swivel spinner.
1011
00:52:37,955 --> 00:52:40,256
What are they aiming
for here, kenny?
1012
00:52:40,357 --> 00:52:43,225
Well, where their opponent
needs to attack from the side,
1013
00:52:43,227 --> 00:52:46,228
Blacksmith needs to go
straight down switchback's throat.
1014
00:52:46,230 --> 00:52:49,498
If that power hammer connect
with any of the joint attach
1015
00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:52,902
To switchback's weapon, it
could really do some damage.
1016
00:52:52,904 --> 00:52:54,603
Would love to see
a knockout here,
1017
00:52:54,672 --> 00:52:57,940
But not sure al's bot
has the power to do it.
1018
00:52:57,975 --> 00:53:00,142
Shots fired, kenny.
1019
00:53:00,244 --> 00:53:01,844
Hey. I
call it like I see it
1020
00:53:04,148 --> 00:53:05,447
Blacksmith is a great machine.
1021
00:53:05,549 --> 00:53:07,816
Al kindle has been
doing this forever.
1022
00:53:07,818 --> 00:53:09,618
They do have a
lot of area on top
1023
00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:11,754
That we can hit
with the drum and,
1024
00:53:11,855 --> 00:53:13,022
You know, very flat sides.
1025
00:53:13,024 --> 00:53:14,957
So if we can drive
around to the side.
1026
00:53:14,959 --> 00:53:16,725
We think we've got
a pretty good shot.
1027
00:53:16,727 --> 00:53:18,561
I really think that
just from a pure
1028
00:53:18,629 --> 00:53:20,629
Robot to robot standpoint,
1029
00:53:20,631 --> 00:53:23,499
It's a really good matchup,
pretty evenly matched,
1030
00:53:23,501 --> 00:53:25,801
Probably is going to
go the distance unless
1031
00:53:25,803 --> 00:53:27,436
One of us gets
a really lucky hit.
1032
00:53:27,505 --> 00:53:29,605
Switchback is very unique.
1033
00:53:29,707 --> 00:53:32,708
It does present an
interesting challenge for us
1034
00:53:32,710 --> 00:53:35,811
Because it can hit us high,
which is always bad for us,
1035
00:53:35,813 --> 00:53:38,047
For our arm assembly,
the belts and the chain.
1036
00:53:38,049 --> 00:53:39,949
So it's something we
have to be careful of.
1037
00:53:39,951 --> 00:53:42,051
He seems to be a
little bit slower than us,
1038
00:53:42,152 --> 00:53:43,619
So we're gonna
try to get to the side
1039
00:53:43,721 --> 00:53:46,021
And maybe take out his
weapon arm, so he can't hit us.
1040
00:53:46,023 --> 00:53:47,623
I'm feeling pretty
good about our chances
1041
00:53:47,625 --> 00:53:48,890
To win this bracket.
1042
00:53:48,892 --> 00:53:51,527
Right now, blacksmith is
running great, and we're ready.
1043
00:53:59,604 --> 00:54:03,239
Blacksmith does have the
experience advantage here, though.
1044
00:54:03,307 --> 00:54:06,308
They have been
doing this for 26 years.
1045
00:54:06,310 --> 00:54:08,510
Switchback just one.
1046
00:54:08,512 --> 00:54:10,312
Red team, ready?
1047
00:54:16,954 --> 00:54:18,821
Blue team, ready?
1048
00:54:24,962 --> 00:54:26,061
Ready?
1049
00:54:26,063 --> 00:54:27,429
Yeah.
1050
00:54:37,708 --> 00:54:41,310
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
1051
00:54:41,312 --> 00:54:44,146
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
1052
00:54:52,590 --> 00:54:54,957
Let the bot battle begin.
1053
00:54:55,026 --> 00:54:58,327
Ooh, big whiff by both
bots at the box rush.
1054
00:54:58,329 --> 00:55:01,063
Al kindle's bot looking great.
1055
00:55:01,131 --> 00:55:03,899
Nice shot from switchback,
but here comes blacksmith,
1056
00:55:03,901 --> 00:55:05,401
Turning it around, chris.
1057
00:55:05,403 --> 00:55:07,536
Oh, the veteran's
got the rookie cornered.
1058
00:55:07,605 --> 00:55:10,939
And now using that hammer
sa and dropping the pulverizer
1059
00:55:10,941 --> 00:55:13,509
It's a two for one
special, kenny.
1060
00:55:13,511 --> 00:55:16,211
Al kindle is a
maste at using the arena
1061
00:55:16,213 --> 00:55:17,913
To damage his opponent.
1062
00:55:17,915 --> 00:55:21,250
And now he has the
team from texas on its back.
1063
00:55:21,319 --> 00:55:24,620
Can switchback
get back on its feet?
1064
00:55:24,622 --> 00:55:25,821
Uh-oh.
1065
00:55:25,823 --> 00:55:27,623
Ah, big hit with giant hamme
1066
00:55:27,625 --> 00:55:29,758
Al kindle, just relentless here
1067
00:55:29,827 --> 00:55:31,360
In the early going, chris.
1068
00:55:31,462 --> 00:55:34,430
Switchback looking
a little dizzy after that on
1069
00:55:34,432 --> 00:55:37,032
And blacksmith
has it pinned again.
1070
00:55:37,034 --> 00:55:38,233
Look at al kindle.
1071
00:55:38,302 --> 00:55:39,601
I never thought I would say
1072
00:55:39,603 --> 00:55:41,337
But he is so nimble
out ther kenny.
1073
00:55:41,438 --> 00:55:43,004
Yeah.
1074
00:55:43,006 --> 00:55:45,774
Blacksmith moving really well,
but switchback looks hurt, chris.
1075
00:55:45,776 --> 00:55:47,242
May have lost part of its drive
1076
00:55:47,344 --> 00:55:49,411
During one of those exchange
1077
00:55:49,413 --> 00:55:51,133
We're still good.
Everything is operational.
1078
00:55:52,516 --> 00:55:54,950
Switchback's weapon
is operating at full speed,
1079
00:55:55,052 --> 00:55:56,752
But kind of taking
some friendly fires
1080
00:55:56,821 --> 00:55:59,054
And takes its grill right
into the upper deck.
1081
00:55:59,123 --> 00:56:01,957
Blacksmith landing
another big shot there.
1082
00:56:02,025 --> 00:56:03,603
And, kenny,
blacksmith has been able
1083
00:56:03,627 --> 00:56:05,994
To keep switchback
trapped in that short corner,
1084
00:56:05,996 --> 00:56:07,863
Which is trouble for the texans.
1085
00:56:07,932 --> 00:56:10,532
Al kindle putting on
a driving kind of gear.
1086
00:56:10,601 --> 00:56:11,833
And look at that shot.
1087
00:56:11,835 --> 00:56:16,238
Oh, another one, a huge
sho of that hammer saw.
1088
00:56:16,307 --> 00:56:20,042
Yeah, they just cut
through switchback's top armor, chris.
1089
00:56:20,044 --> 00:56:21,510
And now the pulverizer.
1090
00:56:21,512 --> 00:56:24,213
Those are just
kind of love-ish taps.
1091
00:56:24,215 --> 00:56:26,615
Oh, no love right there, though
1092
00:56:26,617 --> 00:56:30,853
Again, the axles on switchback's
weapon are its weakest point.
1093
00:56:30,954 --> 00:56:34,123
If blacksmith gets a
clean shot there, it's ove
1094
00:56:34,125 --> 00:56:35,624
creeping up in a minute.
1095
00:56:35,626 --> 00:56:38,127
Al was willing to go the
distance in round one.
1096
00:56:38,129 --> 00:56:39,962
Can he finish the job here?
1097
00:56:39,964 --> 00:56:43,399
Oh, now blacksmith is smokin
1098
00:56:43,401 --> 00:56:44,666
I don't know, chris
1099
00:56:44,668 --> 00:56:47,736
Switchback is looking
like it's on its last leg.
1100
00:56:47,805 --> 00:56:49,138
Another shot.
1101
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,840
Al kindle says, "I'm
not done, kenny."
1102
00:56:51,942 --> 00:56:53,308
All right, I got to
see movement.
1103
00:56:53,310 --> 00:56:54,410
I think we're done.
1104
00:56:54,412 --> 00:56:55,772
Switchback and greg needel
1105
00:56:55,813 --> 00:56:57,846
Getting a warning
from the referee.
1106
00:56:57,948 --> 00:56:59,915
And here comes the countdown
1107
00:56:59,917 --> 00:57:03,719
Blacksmith and al kindle
has done an amazing job
1108
00:57:03,721 --> 00:57:07,356
And will now move on to the
next round and face bloodsport.
1109
00:57:07,424 --> 00:57:08,957
Knockout!
1110
00:57:12,029 --> 00:57:14,696
That was by
far the most powerful
1111
00:57:14,698 --> 00:57:16,932
We've seen this new
version of blacksmith.
1112
00:57:16,934 --> 00:57:18,333
Wow!
1113
00:57:20,805 --> 00:57:23,439
Kenny, al kindle's bot,
1114
00:57:23,540 --> 00:57:25,107
A little bit of a new look,
1115
00:57:25,109 --> 00:57:28,343
Thanks to a
reconfiguration with the front.
1116
00:57:28,379 --> 00:57:30,679
And it certainly did its job
1117
00:57:30,681 --> 00:57:34,249
yeah, this was just a
dominant performance by blacksmith.
1118
00:57:34,351 --> 00:57:38,053
Al kindle showed off
his bot's speed and agility
1119
00:57:38,122 --> 00:57:39,855
They were able
to flip switchback
1120
00:57:39,957 --> 00:57:42,825
And then trap them in
one of the short corners
1121
00:57:42,827 --> 00:57:44,259
And that's when
their power hammer
1122
00:57:44,361 --> 00:57:45,427
Just went to work.
1123
00:57:45,429 --> 00:57:46,829
Al, never let up.
1124
00:57:46,831 --> 00:57:48,597
And it was really
kind of a death
1125
00:57:48,599 --> 00:57:50,599
By a thousand cuts.
1126
00:57:50,668 --> 00:57:52,401
Blacksmith dishing out the pain
1127
00:57:52,403 --> 00:57:55,404
And now moving on
to round number three.
1128
00:57:59,043 --> 00:58:03,312
Al kindle, team
blacksmith, congratulations.
1129
00:58:03,314 --> 00:58:04,379
Big time knockout.
1130
00:58:04,381 --> 00:58:06,448
Where you trying to
show off a little bit?
1131
00:58:06,550 --> 00:58:09,051
We've been doing little
tweaks in between every fight,
1132
00:58:09,119 --> 00:58:11,854
And I think we just finally got
everything worked out a little bit.
1133
00:58:11,922 --> 00:58:13,021
And we're...
1134
00:58:13,023 --> 00:58:14,223
Like I said, we were
being very careful
1135
00:58:14,225 --> 00:58:15,958
In picking our
shots with this one.
1136
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,593
That overhead drum
could really come in
1137
00:58:17,595 --> 00:58:18,727
And take out our weapon.
1138
00:58:18,729 --> 00:58:20,062
So we were being really careful.
1139
00:58:20,163 --> 00:58:21,229
All right.
1140
00:58:21,232 --> 00:58:22,931
Well, we'll let you get
ready for bloodsport,
1141
00:58:22,933 --> 00:58:24,533
One step closer, al.
1142
00:58:24,602 --> 00:58:25,934
Can you get it done?
1143
00:58:25,936 --> 00:58:27,703
Absolutely.
1144
00:58:27,705 --> 00:58:29,505
All right, congratulations.
1145
00:58:29,507 --> 00:58:30,906
Thanks.
1146
00:58:34,311 --> 00:58:35,410
Great fight, man.
1147
00:58:35,412 --> 00:58:37,045
You too.
1148
00:58:37,114 --> 00:58:39,548
Well, kenny, al kindle says,
1149
00:58:39,650 --> 00:58:42,417
Boys in the announce
booth, you morons.
1150
00:58:42,419 --> 00:58:46,021
I told you I could do
it, I could win by ko.
1151
00:58:46,023 --> 00:58:47,923
Shut up, florian. He was right.
1152
00:58:47,925 --> 00:58:49,591
Rose you too.
1153
00:58:49,593 --> 00:58:50,726
He was right.
1154
00:58:50,728 --> 00:58:53,061
That hammer was
hitting and hitting hard.
1155
00:58:53,130 --> 00:58:54,496
It was doing damage.
1156
00:58:54,498 --> 00:58:56,164
So, great job, al.
1157
00:58:56,233 --> 00:58:57,299
I'm sorry.
1158
00:58:57,301 --> 00:58:58,934
All right. I'm not.
1159
00:58:58,936 --> 00:59:00,736
Kenny is sorry.
1160
00:59:00,837 --> 00:59:03,305
All right, coming up,
our two remaining bots,
1161
00:59:03,307 --> 00:59:05,841
Blacksmith and
bloodsport will slug it out
1162
00:59:05,909 --> 00:59:08,310
With a chance to
face skorpios on the line
1163
00:59:08,312 --> 00:59:12,514
That's next on battlebots
c hampions sin city slugfest.
1164
00:59:24,528 --> 00:59:28,063
We got more battlebots
champion sin city slugfest,
1165
00:59:28,132 --> 00:59:31,833
The quest to fight skorpios at the
end of the night continues right here.
1166
00:59:31,935 --> 00:59:32,935
And it has come down
1167
00:59:33,036 --> 00:59:35,404
To blacksmith versus bloodsport.
1168
00:59:35,406 --> 00:59:38,307
The winner is gonna move
on to the golden bolt qualifie
1169
00:59:38,309 --> 00:59:41,310
Where our gatekeeper awaits
1170
00:59:41,312 --> 00:59:44,413
And blacksmith showed off
so impressive durability tonigh
1171
00:59:44,415 --> 00:59:46,415
In a couple of longer fights
1172
00:59:46,417 --> 00:59:48,617
While the knockout
artist bloodsport
1173
00:59:48,619 --> 00:59:50,419
Has finished off
both its opponents
1174
00:59:50,421 --> 00:59:52,321
In less than 60 seconds.
1175
00:59:52,323 --> 00:59:54,423
And, kenny, looking
at the side by side
1176
00:59:54,425 --> 00:59:55,891
This could get interesting.
1177
00:59:55,893 --> 00:59:57,192
Yeah.
1178
00:59:57,194 --> 00:59:59,361
Well, bloodsport is going
with a new disc-like weapon
1179
00:59:59,429 --> 01:00:01,029
We haven't seen yet today.
1180
01:00:01,031 --> 01:00:03,198
But look at this, it
packs a punch roughly
1181
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,702
10 times greater than
blacksmith's power hammer.
1182
01:00:06,803 --> 01:00:08,136
Now, al kindle
has been doing thi
1183
01:00:08,238 --> 01:00:10,205
A long time and he knows.
1184
01:00:10,207 --> 01:00:12,674
To win, he's got to
control bloodsport
1185
01:00:12,676 --> 01:00:14,309
And stop it from spinning up
1186
01:00:14,311 --> 01:00:16,011
So while justin marple's tea
1187
01:00:16,013 --> 01:00:18,146
Does have the
offensive advantage,
1188
01:00:18,248 --> 01:00:19,514
Do not be surprised
1189
01:00:19,516 --> 01:00:21,316
If this goes the
full three minutes.
1190
01:00:24,421 --> 01:00:26,121
We're gonna get
you right to the action.
1191
01:00:26,123 --> 01:00:28,123
Let's go inside the battlebox.
1192
01:00:30,794 --> 01:00:32,227
Are we clear?
1193
01:00:37,301 --> 01:00:39,201
Red team, ready?
1194
01:00:40,704 --> 01:00:43,939
Al kindle and weapons
operator alan young there.
1195
01:00:43,941 --> 01:00:45,807
Twos wins away from
punching their ticket
1196
01:00:45,809 --> 01:00:48,210
To the golden bolt
tournamen kenny.
1197
01:00:48,212 --> 01:00:50,045
Would be so big for this squad.
1198
01:00:50,147 --> 01:00:51,780
They've always
had the durability
1199
01:00:51,782 --> 01:00:53,615
To hang with the
top-tier opponents
1200
01:00:53,684 --> 01:00:56,618
But now they're doing
some serious damage too.
1201
01:00:56,620 --> 01:00:58,620
Take a look at that
huge front wedge
1202
01:00:58,722 --> 01:01:00,922
They've added for
this fight though.
1203
01:01:00,924 --> 01:01:04,693
With that attached, I'm expecting
a box rush and constant pressure
1204
01:01:04,695 --> 01:01:07,062
To prevent a bloodsport spin-up.
1205
01:01:07,064 --> 01:01:08,964
Blue team, ready?
1206
01:01:11,769 --> 01:01:13,489
And frantically
hitting that button
1207
01:01:13,537 --> 01:01:16,438
Is bloodsport weapon
designe nik buchholz.
1208
01:01:16,507 --> 01:01:18,674
He's the evil genius
behind their seemingly
1209
01:01:18,676 --> 01:01:21,176
Infinite number of blades.
1210
01:01:21,178 --> 01:01:22,811
Yeah, their weapon versatili
1211
01:01:22,813 --> 01:01:25,414
Is part of what makes
bloodsport so dangerous.
1212
01:01:25,416 --> 01:01:27,916
And this blade is
evidence of that.
1213
01:01:27,918 --> 01:01:29,718
They call it the ferrous wheel,
1214
01:01:29,820 --> 01:01:31,620
A play on ferrous metals.
1215
01:01:31,689 --> 01:01:33,422
But you can see it
completely covers
1216
01:01:33,424 --> 01:01:34,489
The top of the bot.
1217
01:01:34,558 --> 01:01:37,492
So in addition to
being highly kinetic,
1218
01:01:37,494 --> 01:01:39,828
This blade acts
as a perfect shield
1219
01:01:39,830 --> 01:01:43,065
Against an opponent that
nee to strike from above.
1220
01:01:43,133 --> 01:01:44,399
Genius is right.
1221
01:01:57,614 --> 01:02:02,417
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
1222
01:02:05,789 --> 01:02:08,623
The veteran looking
to start a new chapter,
1223
01:02:08,625 --> 01:02:11,460
The rising star is
shooting for the moon.
1224
01:02:11,561 --> 01:02:14,329
A shot at skorpios
is up for grabs.
1225
01:02:18,402 --> 01:02:21,203
Let the bot battle begin.
1226
01:02:21,205 --> 01:02:23,038
Bloodsport, trying
to circle around,
1227
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:24,806
Find a way in.
1228
01:02:24,808 --> 01:02:26,608
Introduces himself
to that wedge.
1229
01:02:28,445 --> 01:02:30,612
Oh, into the vortex.
1230
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,814
Blacksmith has
been flipped over.
1231
01:02:32,816 --> 01:02:35,150
Bloodsport hits righ
on the inside of that wedge
1232
01:02:35,219 --> 01:02:36,818
That was a great hit.
1233
01:02:36,820 --> 01:02:39,521
Did lose one of those two
front wedgelets in the process.
1234
01:02:39,523 --> 01:02:42,157
But justin marple
still grinding away.
1235
01:02:42,259 --> 01:02:45,460
Ah, look at bloodspo
just shoot its way in.
1236
01:02:45,529 --> 01:02:47,340
That wedge is
holding up well, though.
1237
01:02:47,364 --> 01:02:48,430
Sure is.
1238
01:02:48,432 --> 01:02:49,798
Oh, yes.
1239
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,700
Oh, nice spin move.
1240
01:02:51,769 --> 01:02:52,912
That's where blacksmith
1241
01:02:52,936 --> 01:02:54,503
Has to be careful
on that backside.
1242
01:02:54,505 --> 01:02:56,204
Yeah. Al
kindle, nice move.
1243
01:02:56,206 --> 01:02:58,507
On the dance floor, a big shot!
1244
01:02:58,509 --> 01:03:00,942
Has yet to swing that
flaming and hammer, kenny.
1245
01:03:01,011 --> 01:03:02,210
Yeah.
1246
01:03:02,212 --> 01:03:04,012
Looks like he's playing
a patient game here,
1247
01:03:04,014 --> 01:03:07,115
Waiting for his opportunity to
slow down that primary weapon
1248
01:03:07,117 --> 01:03:08,717
Of bloodsport
because if he hits,
1249
01:03:08,819 --> 01:03:10,619
He might destroy his
own weapon as well.
1250
01:03:10,621 --> 01:03:11,820
Great point, kenny.
1251
01:03:11,822 --> 01:03:13,221
Oh, big shot there.
1252
01:03:13,223 --> 01:03:15,690
Oh, huge gash on
the side of blacksmith.
1253
01:03:15,692 --> 01:03:16,958
Enormous.
1254
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,961
On the right side,
there is a gaping hole.
1255
01:03:20,030 --> 01:03:22,964
Nice damage done by
bloodsport's main weapon
1256
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,401
Both teams foaming at the
mouth to get a shot at skorpios.
1257
01:03:26,403 --> 01:03:29,504
Blacksmith staying
patient, kenny.
1258
01:03:29,506 --> 01:03:32,974
Yeah, I mean, that
horizontal spinner hasn't slowed down.
1259
01:03:32,976 --> 01:03:34,109
Oh, it is now.
1260
01:03:34,111 --> 01:03:35,210
There he goes.
1261
01:03:35,212 --> 01:03:36,278
This is the time.
1262
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:37,813
One, two.
1263
01:03:37,815 --> 01:03:40,949
And now blacksmith taking
bloodsport into the rails.
1264
01:03:41,017 --> 01:03:43,952
That ferrous wheel
weapon is now back working.
1265
01:03:43,954 --> 01:03:46,454
Good patience
shown there by al kindle
1266
01:03:46,523 --> 01:03:48,156
And team blacksmith.
1267
01:03:49,827 --> 01:03:52,227
Blacksmith again
taking his opponent into the rail,
1268
01:03:52,229 --> 01:03:53,929
But bloodsport sidesteps it
1269
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:58,900
Blacksmith on the chase.
1270
01:03:58,902 --> 01:04:01,536
Bloodsport, with
one real nice shot
1271
01:04:01,605 --> 01:04:02,882
To the right side of blacksmith.
1272
01:04:02,906 --> 01:04:04,673
Other than that, not much.
1273
01:04:04,675 --> 01:04:06,808
Blacksmith doing
a good job of cutting off
1274
01:04:06,810 --> 01:04:09,344
The battlebox here but
not able to slow down
1275
01:04:09,412 --> 01:04:11,112
That weapon for too long.
1276
01:04:11,114 --> 01:04:13,448
Closing in on
the one-minute mark.
1277
01:04:13,516 --> 01:04:14,516
In the final minute,
1278
01:04:14,518 --> 01:04:16,318
The kill saws will be activate
1279
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:17,786
And jump out of
the battlebox floor,
1280
01:04:17,788 --> 01:04:20,856
Big hit there and
blacksmith is stunned.
1281
01:04:20,924 --> 01:04:22,824
This has
been a very close fight.
1282
01:04:22,826 --> 01:04:25,126
It may come down to
which team can make
1283
01:04:25,128 --> 01:04:26,862
A push down the stretch.
1284
01:04:26,930 --> 01:04:28,129
Oh, big hit.
1285
01:04:28,131 --> 01:04:30,365
Blacksmith taking
bloodspor into the screws.
1286
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,334
Now get up, chopping him up
1287
01:04:32,402 --> 01:04:33,935
And now dropping the hammer
1288
01:04:33,937 --> 01:04:36,104
It's a one-two
punch for blacksmith.
1289
01:04:36,106 --> 01:04:38,106
This is what
blacksmith does best,
1290
01:04:38,108 --> 01:04:41,209
Using the battlebox and
using its primary weapon
1291
01:04:42,479 --> 01:04:43,612
And now backing up.
1292
01:04:43,614 --> 01:04:46,047
Can bloodsport get
off those screws?
1293
01:04:46,149 --> 01:04:47,215
It does.
1294
01:04:47,217 --> 01:04:48,617
The question is, can it move
1295
01:04:49,853 --> 01:04:51,686
this is a great
fini to the fight here
1296
01:04:51,688 --> 01:04:55,957
For blacksmith and bloodspor
might be stuck. Are they functional?
1297
01:04:56,026 --> 01:04:57,926
Blacksmith's
not gon let him find out.
1298
01:04:57,928 --> 01:05:01,229
He says get your ass back u
there on the screws, my man
1299
01:05:01,231 --> 01:05:04,766
What a display of control
and aggression from al kindl
1300
01:05:04,768 --> 01:05:06,768
But bloodsport's still spinning.
1301
01:05:06,770 --> 01:05:07,936
So close.
1302
01:05:07,938 --> 01:05:09,704
Ten seconds to go.
1303
01:05:09,773 --> 01:05:12,407
Blacksmith taking
bloodspor into the rails.
1304
01:05:12,409 --> 01:05:13,541
Oh, my goodness.
1305
01:05:13,643 --> 01:05:16,811
Destroyed its weapon
in the process, kenny.
1306
01:05:16,813 --> 01:05:19,514
The guts of blacksmi
all over the battlebox.
1307
01:05:19,516 --> 01:05:23,218
They lost their primary weap
with just a few seconds to go.
1308
01:05:24,421 --> 01:05:25,520
Wow!
1309
01:05:25,522 --> 01:05:27,455
And will that
be the turning point
1310
01:05:27,524 --> 01:05:29,791
In the eyes of the judges?
1311
01:05:32,029 --> 01:05:35,597
This third round of tonight'
sin city slugfest qualifier
1312
01:05:35,599 --> 01:05:37,065
Goes the distance,
1313
01:05:37,133 --> 01:05:39,834
The right to face
skorpios on the line.
1314
01:05:42,606 --> 01:05:45,807
Our judges will be scoring
on an 11-point system.
1315
01:05:45,809 --> 01:05:47,909
Five points could be
awarde for damage.
1316
01:05:47,911 --> 01:05:52,447
Three apiece in the aggression
and control categories.
1317
01:05:52,482 --> 01:05:54,082
That was...
1318
01:05:55,786 --> 01:05:58,320
phenomenal back and
forth action in this one, kenny,
1319
01:05:58,322 --> 01:06:00,021
Wire to wire.
1320
01:06:00,023 --> 01:06:02,791
Yeah, this was
a ver technical fight.
1321
01:06:02,793 --> 01:06:05,627
Both teams showed
a lot of patience here.
1322
01:06:05,696 --> 01:06:08,330
Bloodsport looking
to try to jab their way,
1323
01:06:08,332 --> 01:06:09,798
Looking for their openings.
1324
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:10,999
They found them.
1325
01:06:11,001 --> 01:06:12,834
There were some
gashes on the side,
1326
01:06:12,903 --> 01:06:14,402
Some good attacks
on the back side
1327
01:06:14,404 --> 01:06:16,171
Of blacksmith there.
1328
01:06:16,173 --> 01:06:18,853
And then once blacksmith was
able to get that weapon to slow down,
1329
01:06:18,909 --> 01:06:20,709
They picked their
moment to attack.
1330
01:06:20,777 --> 01:06:22,610
And they do
such a phenomenal job,
1331
01:06:22,679 --> 01:06:24,846
Does blacksmith of
utilizing the battlebox.
1332
01:06:24,914 --> 01:06:27,148
Look at the pin job
next to the screws.
1333
01:06:27,217 --> 01:06:29,718
And this is where al
kindle did his best work.
1334
01:06:29,819 --> 01:06:33,121
No doubt blacksmith was
really laying it on dow the stretch,
1335
01:06:33,123 --> 01:06:36,558
Controlling bloodsport
and imposing its will.
1336
01:06:36,659 --> 01:06:38,259
But then in the final seconds,
1337
01:06:38,361 --> 01:06:40,795
Blacksmith driving
bloodspor into the rail,
1338
01:06:40,797 --> 01:06:43,965
Dropping the hammer, but
paying the ultimate price.
1339
01:06:45,435 --> 01:06:47,502
Oh, man, bloodsport shredding
1340
01:06:47,504 --> 01:06:49,237
Blacksmith's weapon there.
1341
01:06:49,339 --> 01:06:51,339
And that may just
come back to haunt al
1342
01:06:51,441 --> 01:06:52,841
In the damage category.
1343
01:06:52,942 --> 01:06:55,210
Winner moves
on to face skorpios.
1344
01:06:55,212 --> 01:06:56,444
Here's faruq.
1345
01:06:59,316 --> 01:07:02,017
The results from
the judges are in.
1346
01:07:07,057 --> 01:07:09,858
We have a split decision.
1347
01:07:13,897 --> 01:07:19,134
Judge jason scored
the battle for blacksmith.
1348
01:07:22,739 --> 01:07:27,842
Judge lisa scored the
battle for bloodsport.
1349
01:07:31,048 --> 01:07:36,317
Judge derek scored
the battle for the winner...
1350
01:07:40,824 --> 01:07:42,924
Bloodsport!
1351
01:07:55,105 --> 01:07:57,939
Justin marple, congratulations.
1352
01:07:57,941 --> 01:07:59,406
Thank you.
1353
01:07:59,408 --> 01:08:03,344
How nerve-wracking is it when
you hear we have a split decision?
1354
01:08:03,413 --> 01:08:04,446
Oh, yeah.
1355
01:08:04,514 --> 01:08:06,548
I mean, I wasn't
really expecting that.
1356
01:08:06,616 --> 01:08:08,316
I thought we had a lot
of the damage points.
1357
01:08:08,318 --> 01:08:09,784
You know, we had
a lot of aggression.
1358
01:08:09,786 --> 01:08:10,997
You know, they
had probably control.
1359
01:08:11,021 --> 01:08:12,787
But, you know, at
the end of the day,
1360
01:08:12,789 --> 01:08:14,355
It was a great fight.
1361
01:08:14,457 --> 01:08:16,024
Al did an amazing job driving.
1362
01:08:16,026 --> 01:08:17,158
That was incredible.
1363
01:08:17,260 --> 01:08:18,726
And I hope it was a good show.
1364
01:08:18,728 --> 01:08:20,228
Three down, one to go.
1365
01:08:20,230 --> 01:08:22,330
You're going to square
off against skorpios.
1366
01:08:22,332 --> 01:08:23,698
What's your first thought?
1367
01:08:23,700 --> 01:08:24,933
Well, we faced skorpios
1368
01:08:25,034 --> 01:08:26,201
In the previous
battlebots season.
1369
01:08:26,203 --> 01:08:27,302
We were able to beat them.
1370
01:08:27,304 --> 01:08:28,603
We think we still have
a really good chance.
1371
01:08:28,605 --> 01:08:30,305
We know they have a
new configuration for us,
1372
01:08:30,307 --> 01:08:31,906
It's a bit secret,
1373
01:08:31,908 --> 01:08:33,007
But we're looking forward to it.
1374
01:08:33,009 --> 01:08:34,109
So it's going to be great fight.
1375
01:08:34,111 --> 01:08:35,677
Looking forward to
it. Congratulations.
1376
01:08:35,679 --> 01:08:37,112
Thank you.
1377
01:08:44,821 --> 01:08:46,120
All right.
1378
01:08:46,122 --> 01:08:49,357
Well, fantastic job from
al kindle and blacksmit
1379
01:08:49,459 --> 01:08:53,128
They're going into next
seas with a ton of momentum.
1380
01:08:53,130 --> 01:08:56,764
But our golden bolt qualifyi
match-up is finally set.
1381
01:08:56,766 --> 01:09:00,401
And as you heard justin marple
just say, it is indeed a rematch.
1382
01:09:00,403 --> 01:09:02,203
Will we see a
repeat of that fight
1383
01:09:02,205 --> 01:09:03,805
From two seasons ago
1384
01:09:03,807 --> 01:09:06,508
Or will skorpios be
the first gatekeeper
1385
01:09:06,510 --> 01:09:09,811
To punch its ticket to the
tournament of champions?
1386
01:09:09,813 --> 01:09:11,212
I have no idea.
1387
01:09:11,214 --> 01:09:13,848
But I do know it's
gonna be a wild ride.
1388
01:09:13,917 --> 01:09:15,817
The slugfest concludes next
1389
01:09:24,895 --> 01:09:26,528
Bloodsport is in a pretty
rough shape right now.
1390
01:09:26,530 --> 01:09:28,062
We have a lot of broken motors.
1391
01:09:28,064 --> 01:09:29,297
Last fight really beat us up.
1392
01:09:29,299 --> 01:09:30,665
My team right now
is just repairing them,
1393
01:09:30,667 --> 01:09:31,877
Trying to go as
quickly as possible.
1394
01:09:31,901 --> 01:09:33,479
We're running out
of spares at this point.
1395
01:09:33,503 --> 01:09:35,503
The war of attrition is
something you hear about
1396
01:09:35,505 --> 01:09:38,006
A lot in battlebots, and we're
definitely facing that right now.
1397
01:09:38,008 --> 01:09:39,507
It's just fight after
fight after fight.
1398
01:09:39,509 --> 01:09:40,808
Very little time to prepare.
1399
01:09:40,810 --> 01:09:42,677
We're just hoping
to just get through it,
1400
01:09:42,679 --> 01:09:45,413
Get through this last fight
and just come out with a win.
1401
01:09:45,415 --> 01:09:46,775
In our last fight
against skorpios,
1402
01:09:46,816 --> 01:09:48,016
It was a bit of a slugfest.
1403
01:09:48,018 --> 01:09:49,217
Took hits, went back and forth.
1404
01:09:49,219 --> 01:09:50,296
They had some good control.
1405
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:51,619
We took... Delivered
some good hits.
1406
01:09:51,621 --> 01:09:52,720
At the end, we
were able to ko them,
1407
01:09:52,722 --> 01:09:54,622
Tear off their wedge,
get them into a wall,
1408
01:09:54,624 --> 01:09:55,990
They couldn't move anymore.
1409
01:09:55,992 --> 01:09:58,152
It's going to be a much
tougher fight this time around.
1410
01:10:06,536 --> 01:10:08,670
Welcome back
to battlebots champions
1411
01:10:08,672 --> 01:10:10,038
And listen to that crowd
1412
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:11,806
At caesars entertainment studios
1413
01:10:11,808 --> 01:10:13,441
Here in las vegas.
1414
01:10:13,543 --> 01:10:17,145
Kenny, they know what's
on the line here in this fight.
1415
01:10:17,247 --> 01:10:20,215
It is time right now for
the golden bolt qualifier
1416
01:10:20,217 --> 01:10:23,318
Between bloodsport and skorpios.
1417
01:10:24,721 --> 01:10:26,521
Whoever comes out victoriou
1418
01:10:26,523 --> 01:10:29,224
Will join some of the
heaviest hitters on the planet
1419
01:10:29,226 --> 01:10:31,826
As they battle it out
for the golden bolt
1420
01:10:31,928 --> 01:10:34,529
In our first-ever
tournament of champions.
1421
01:10:36,633 --> 01:10:40,201
Now, again, skorpios was
selected as gatekeeper tonight,
1422
01:10:40,203 --> 01:10:42,804
Because zach lytle
and diana tarlson's bot
1423
01:10:42,905 --> 01:10:44,672
Is as tough as they come.
1424
01:10:44,674 --> 01:10:47,075
They beat tombstone
two seasons ago.
1425
01:10:47,077 --> 01:10:48,710
They won a bounty tournament
1426
01:10:48,778 --> 01:10:51,512
They won roughly two-thirds
of their career matches
1427
01:10:51,514 --> 01:10:54,415
And have become a
staple in main events here.
1428
01:10:54,417 --> 01:10:55,984
They have certainly earned this.
1429
01:10:55,986 --> 01:10:57,051
Yeah.
1430
01:10:57,053 --> 01:10:58,820
This is a team that
matches up well
1431
01:10:58,921 --> 01:11:00,221
With any opponent.
1432
01:11:00,223 --> 01:11:02,023
They're fast, they're durabl
1433
01:11:02,025 --> 01:11:04,125
And their hammer
saw is allegedly
1434
01:11:04,127 --> 01:11:05,827
Eight times as powerful
1435
01:11:05,829 --> 01:11:07,829
As it was when
they won tha bounty.
1436
01:11:07,897 --> 01:11:09,196
And guess what?
1437
01:11:09,198 --> 01:11:12,000
That bot is in pristine
condition right now.
1438
01:11:12,002 --> 01:11:15,803
And they have an opportunity to
get into the golden bolt tournament.
1439
01:11:15,872 --> 01:11:18,006
Amazing.
1440
01:11:18,008 --> 01:11:20,074
Now I don't think
we could say bloodsport's
1441
01:11:20,076 --> 01:11:21,809
In pristine condition.
1442
01:11:21,811 --> 01:11:24,212
They've had to win three
fights tonight just to get here.
1443
01:11:24,214 --> 01:11:25,313
Yeah.
1444
01:11:25,315 --> 01:11:26,514
And they were doing fine
1445
01:11:26,516 --> 01:11:28,983
Until that last fight
with blacksmith.
1446
01:11:28,985 --> 01:11:31,352
They took some big shots
from that power hammer.
1447
01:11:31,421 --> 01:11:35,223
They had to replace some
weapon motors after that match.
1448
01:11:35,225 --> 01:11:38,059
The attrition is definitely
catching up to them,
1449
01:11:38,061 --> 01:11:39,994
But they've got some
of the smartest people
1450
01:11:39,996 --> 01:11:42,463
At battlebots o n that pit crew.
1451
01:11:42,565 --> 01:11:46,668
And I'm hearing
they are ready to rock.
1452
01:11:46,670 --> 01:11:48,436
Let's find out who
wins this baby.
1453
01:11:48,538 --> 01:11:50,405
Faruq?
1454
01:11:55,111 --> 01:11:59,314
Ladies and gentlemen,
are you ready?
1455
01:12:05,155 --> 01:12:09,891
It's time for the main event.
1456
01:12:23,506 --> 01:12:25,606
In the red square,
1457
01:12:25,675 --> 01:12:28,676
This bot shares a name
with a comic book villain,
1458
01:12:28,678 --> 01:12:32,413
Who's gnarly like harley and
always down for some killing?
1459
01:12:32,415 --> 01:12:33,915
Polka-dot man.
1460
01:12:33,917 --> 01:12:36,451
Nah, he's the
broke your bot, man.
1461
01:12:36,519 --> 01:12:38,019
He's got the king shark.
1462
01:12:38,021 --> 01:12:39,520
He's got no equal.
1463
01:12:39,522 --> 01:12:41,456
The team's no suicide squad.
1464
01:12:41,557 --> 01:12:44,359
They're coming for you,
and you won't get a sequel.
1465
01:12:44,460 --> 01:12:47,261
It's bloodsport!
1466
01:12:54,504 --> 01:12:57,705
Bloodsport has
been dominant tonight.
1467
01:12:57,807 --> 01:12:59,774
Knocked out big dill.
1468
01:12:59,776 --> 01:13:01,676
Knocked out blade.
1469
01:13:01,678 --> 01:13:03,978
Took care of blacksmith.
1470
01:13:03,980 --> 01:13:06,547
They are ferocious and hungry.
1471
01:13:06,649 --> 01:13:08,516
And they are going
with a similar blade
1472
01:13:08,518 --> 01:13:10,985
To what we saw
in their last match.
1473
01:13:10,987 --> 01:13:12,620
Should provide a lot of the same
1474
01:13:12,622 --> 01:13:15,156
Overhead protection
their weapon gave them
1475
01:13:15,225 --> 01:13:16,824
Against blacksmith,
1476
01:13:16,826 --> 01:13:20,128
But this one has a
little mo punch to it.
1477
01:13:20,130 --> 01:13:22,096
In the blue square,
1478
01:13:22,098 --> 01:13:24,298
He's got the name
of a constellation
1479
01:13:24,300 --> 01:13:26,100
And he's a battlebots st.
1480
01:13:26,102 --> 01:13:27,869
And when he
lifts that big ripper,
1481
01:13:27,871 --> 01:13:29,704
You'll get a giant scar.
1482
01:13:29,773 --> 01:13:31,506
He'll whip you
with orion's belt.
1483
01:13:31,508 --> 01:13:33,107
And if you look up at the sky,
1484
01:13:33,109 --> 01:13:35,410
Connect the stars
on this constellation,
1485
01:13:35,412 --> 01:13:39,113
And they spell prepare to die.
1486
01:13:39,115 --> 01:13:42,383
Give it up for skorpios.
1487
01:13:46,856 --> 01:13:48,356
Zach lytle the right
1488
01:13:48,425 --> 01:13:50,825
His wife diana
tarlson on the left.
1489
01:13:50,927 --> 01:13:53,461
Kenny, this team
always brings the noise.
1490
01:13:53,530 --> 01:13:54,662
Yeah.
1491
01:13:54,664 --> 01:13:56,631
They are confident
in their engineering.
1492
01:13:56,699 --> 01:13:58,800
Skorpios is so durable.
1493
01:13:58,802 --> 01:14:01,035
That huge wedge on
the front should help the
1494
01:14:01,037 --> 01:14:03,070
Deflect bloodsport's blade.
1495
01:14:03,072 --> 01:14:05,306
But they're an
over-the-top hammer saw,
1496
01:14:05,308 --> 01:14:07,108
Just like blacksmith.
1497
01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:09,210
So they're going to
need to pin bloodsport,
1498
01:14:09,212 --> 01:14:12,713
Stop its weapon from
moving and then fire away.
1499
01:14:20,323 --> 01:14:21,500
The strategy going
into this match
1500
01:14:21,524 --> 01:14:23,224
Is going to be the
same as the last time
1501
01:14:23,226 --> 01:14:25,059
We faced them, which is
going to be aim for those wheels,
1502
01:14:25,061 --> 01:14:26,627
Aim for the edges of the wedge,
1503
01:14:26,629 --> 01:14:28,729
Try to tear something
apart, damage something.
1504
01:14:28,731 --> 01:14:30,898
Skorpios can deliver damage.
1505
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:32,600
We have our
protective disc armor
1506
01:14:32,602 --> 01:14:34,202
And I think it's gonna be
really tough thing for them
1507
01:14:34,204 --> 01:14:35,403
To get damage points.
1508
01:14:35,405 --> 01:14:37,238
Tonight, we're
punching our ticket.
1509
01:14:37,307 --> 01:14:40,308
Bloodsport's known for
being able to deliver big hits,
1510
01:14:40,310 --> 01:14:41,709
But he does it by running away.
1511
01:14:41,811 --> 01:14:44,679
With the deck in there
now, he's got nowhere to run.
1512
01:14:44,681 --> 01:14:46,614
Bloodsport still
hits really hard,
1513
01:14:46,616 --> 01:14:48,382
So we hit harder than we did
1514
01:14:48,384 --> 01:14:50,084
With our first fight with them.
1515
01:14:50,086 --> 01:14:51,886
It's going to be a slugfest.
1516
01:14:51,888 --> 01:14:53,721
I want to go to the golden bolt.
1517
01:14:53,823 --> 01:14:56,190
There's a lot of bots
there I want to beat.
1518
01:14:56,192 --> 01:14:58,526
This is the only way
for me to get my ticket,
1519
01:14:58,528 --> 01:15:00,328
And it's going
through bloodsport.
1520
01:15:01,531 --> 01:15:02,697
It seems good.
1521
01:15:06,302 --> 01:15:08,069
Robots, activate.
1522
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,708
So after that last fight,
we heard justin marple
1523
01:15:13,809 --> 01:15:15,309
Of bloodsport say skorpios
1524
01:15:15,311 --> 01:15:18,246
Had a secret configuration
ready for them.
1525
01:15:18,347 --> 01:15:20,615
Let's bring in our bot
whisperer to clarify.
1526
01:15:20,617 --> 01:15:22,116
Pete?
1527
01:15:22,118 --> 01:15:23,250
Yeah.
1528
01:15:23,252 --> 01:15:25,419
He's referencing that
armor configuration
1529
01:15:25,421 --> 01:15:27,522
Skorpios calls the shield.
1530
01:15:27,524 --> 01:15:29,357
It's taller, and you can see it
1531
01:15:29,425 --> 01:15:32,260
Has those little
sloped ear at the top.
1532
01:15:32,361 --> 01:15:35,429
When skorpios takes a
shot from bloodsport's tri-bar,
1533
01:15:35,431 --> 01:15:38,399
And it will, this should
prevent their weapon arm
1534
01:15:38,401 --> 01:15:40,868
From getting
completely destroyed.
1535
01:15:40,870 --> 01:15:42,203
Great intel as always.
1536
01:15:42,205 --> 01:15:43,337
Thanks, pete
1537
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,206
red team, ready?
1538
01:15:52,882 --> 01:15:55,516
Blue team, ready?
1539
01:15:55,518 --> 01:15:56,684
Oh, yes.
1540
01:15:56,686 --> 01:15:58,819
Excellent choreography, diana.
1541
01:15:58,821 --> 01:16:00,254
Excellent.
1542
01:16:15,605 --> 01:16:18,339
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
1543
01:16:18,441 --> 01:16:21,108
So far, all three
golden bolt qualifiers
1544
01:16:21,110 --> 01:16:23,077
Have seen our gatekeepers fall.
1545
01:16:23,079 --> 01:16:27,081
Can skorpios buck that
tren and punch its ticket?
1546
01:16:32,322 --> 01:16:34,956
Let the bot battle begin.
1547
01:16:34,958 --> 01:16:36,524
Skorpios on the charge,
1548
01:16:36,526 --> 01:16:38,726
Delivering a hard
shot to bloodsport.
1549
01:16:38,794 --> 01:16:40,093
Justin marple resets,
1550
01:16:40,095 --> 01:16:42,430
Looking for space to
spin u their deadly blade.
1551
01:16:42,432 --> 01:16:44,332
Skorpios right on top of him
1552
01:16:45,702 --> 01:16:47,068
yes.
1553
01:16:47,070 --> 01:16:48,680
Skorpios immediately
trying to get under bloodsport,
1554
01:16:48,704 --> 01:16:51,439
Trying to slow down
that very dangerous
1555
01:16:51,441 --> 01:16:53,975
Try again blade from bloodsport.
1556
01:16:53,977 --> 01:16:56,711
Just like that and
they use their hammer sa
1557
01:16:56,713 --> 01:16:59,347
Sticking it in, fired it up
1558
01:16:59,415 --> 01:17:01,315
Don't know much damage
it's doing but at least
1559
01:17:01,317 --> 01:17:03,951
He's preventing bloodsport
from firing up its weapon.
1560
01:17:03,953 --> 01:17:05,353
If they can bend that blade
1561
01:17:05,421 --> 01:17:08,889
That will send bloodsport
completely out of balance.
1562
01:17:08,891 --> 01:17:10,202
And this is when
they want to strike
1563
01:17:10,226 --> 01:17:12,326
When that blade is not spinning
1564
01:17:12,328 --> 01:17:14,328
And they haven't stuck
up against the wall here.
1565
01:17:14,330 --> 01:17:16,230
This is when they
want to strike down.
1566
01:17:16,232 --> 01:17:17,932
Now, skorpios can pin bloodsport
1567
01:17:17,934 --> 01:17:19,700
For 10 seconds before releasing,
1568
01:17:19,702 --> 01:17:20,801
Just like that.
1569
01:17:20,903 --> 01:17:23,604
Nice timing on the
100-pound pulverizer
1570
01:17:23,706 --> 01:17:25,406
yeah, they're
reall trying to go to town
1571
01:17:25,408 --> 01:17:26,773
On top of bloodsport here.
1572
01:17:26,775 --> 01:17:29,810
And skorpios is pushing
bloodsport up into the screw
1573
01:17:29,879 --> 01:17:32,213
Not much offense
out of bloodsport.
1574
01:17:32,215 --> 01:17:33,314
Yeah, but we saw tha
1575
01:17:33,316 --> 01:17:35,049
In the last fight
against blacksmith just
1576
01:17:35,051 --> 01:17:37,718
How durable this
weapon of bloodsport is.
1577
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:39,387
Justin's going to take his time
1578
01:17:39,389 --> 01:17:42,523
And continue to look
for the right angle to attac
1579
01:17:42,525 --> 01:17:45,626
kenny, it looks lik bloodsport
is really trying to go around back,
1580
01:17:45,728 --> 01:17:47,461
Maybe take a bite
out of those wheels.
1581
01:17:47,563 --> 01:17:49,030
That's exactly
what they are trying to do I
1582
01:17:49,032 --> 01:17:50,665
Skorpios is trying to keep that
1583
01:17:50,667 --> 01:17:52,867
Nose pointed at
them at all times.
1584
01:17:54,137 --> 01:17:55,703
Skorpios is so fast
1585
01:17:55,705 --> 01:17:57,605
Elite driving by zach lytle
1586
01:17:57,607 --> 01:17:59,340
yeah.
1587
01:17:59,342 --> 01:18:00,875
But I tell you what, that primary
weapon of skorpios is not hitting..
1588
01:18:00,877 --> 01:18:01,942
Nope.
1589
01:18:01,944 --> 01:18:03,310
Like they had hoped.
1590
01:18:03,312 --> 01:18:04,712
Zach lytle is continuing
1591
01:18:04,714 --> 01:18:06,614
To tout that new
weapon on skorpios
1592
01:18:06,683 --> 01:18:08,516
And its ability to
do some damage.
1593
01:18:10,319 --> 01:18:12,019
But it looks compromised here.
1594
01:18:12,021 --> 01:18:14,055
Will that prevent it
from clinching a spot
1595
01:18:14,057 --> 01:18:15,890
In the golden bolt tournamen
1596
01:18:15,892 --> 01:18:17,091
yeah.
1597
01:18:17,093 --> 01:18:19,060
I think those hits on
the top of bloodsport
1598
01:18:19,062 --> 01:18:21,195
Can actually get them in.
1599
01:18:21,197 --> 01:18:23,631
Yeah. You can actually
see it's completely bent.
1600
01:18:23,633 --> 01:18:25,132
Looks like it's
about to fall off.
1601
01:18:25,234 --> 01:18:26,500
Yeah.
1602
01:18:26,502 --> 01:18:28,769
But skorpios still very
muc in control of this fight,
1603
01:18:28,771 --> 01:18:30,304
Hitting his opponent.
1604
01:18:30,306 --> 01:18:31,939
He'll do that for 10 seconds
1605
01:18:31,941 --> 01:18:33,607
But the question is
how will the judges
1606
01:18:33,676 --> 01:18:34,875
See this whole thing,
1607
01:18:34,877 --> 01:18:37,111
If it does indeed
go to scorecard.
1608
01:18:37,113 --> 01:18:38,612
Skorpios is a little beat up
1609
01:18:38,614 --> 01:18:41,482
But it has dictated
the pace so far.
1610
01:18:41,484 --> 01:18:44,752
Bloodsport needs to make
a push here down the stretch
1611
01:18:44,754 --> 01:18:47,922
under a
minute to go. Oh.
1612
01:18:47,924 --> 01:18:50,024
Well, there's some
great shots there from bloodsport.
1613
01:18:50,026 --> 01:18:51,725
That is a great one
1614
01:18:51,727 --> 01:18:54,628
Yeah, you can really see how much
that hammer saw is curved, kenny.
1615
01:18:54,730 --> 01:18:57,031
Yeah. And the judges
are definitel going to take that
1616
01:18:57,033 --> 01:18:58,999
Into consideration,
as bloodsport again,
1617
01:18:59,001 --> 01:19:01,535
Looking to get that space
to get up to full speed.
1618
01:19:01,637 --> 01:19:03,804
But skorpios
staying right on him.
1619
01:19:03,906 --> 01:19:06,006
Zach lytle, a tremendous driver.
1620
01:19:06,008 --> 01:19:08,075
Under 30 to go.
1621
01:19:08,077 --> 01:19:10,811
Oh, skorpios driving bloodsport
1622
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,913
Into the rails yet again.
1623
01:19:12,915 --> 01:19:14,715
Bloodsport trying
to get one more.
1624
01:19:14,784 --> 01:19:17,051
Good shot in there.
1625
01:19:17,053 --> 01:19:19,720
Oh, bloodsport gets
forced into the upper deck.
1626
01:19:19,722 --> 01:19:21,622
Nice work by skorpios.
1627
01:19:21,690 --> 01:19:24,091
Great control by skorpios.
1628
01:19:24,093 --> 01:19:26,193
Bloodsport gets
back out of the field of play.
1629
01:19:26,195 --> 01:19:27,428
It's under 10 to go.
1630
01:19:27,430 --> 01:19:29,530
So this one is going
to go to the judges.
1631
01:19:29,532 --> 01:19:32,133
The fans treated to
a very close contest.
1632
01:19:35,004 --> 01:19:38,806
As the golden bolt
qualifier goes the distance.
1633
01:19:46,115 --> 01:19:49,617
A trip to the tournament of
champions is on the line here, kenny.
1634
01:19:49,619 --> 01:19:52,119
How are the judges going
to break this one down
1635
01:19:52,121 --> 01:19:55,289
well, give credit to
skorpios for executing its game plan,
1636
01:19:55,291 --> 01:19:58,225
Got underneath bloodsport,
jammed up that blade
1637
01:19:58,227 --> 01:20:00,628
And pushed it
around the battlebox,
1638
01:20:00,696 --> 01:20:02,963
Notched some valuable
aggression points
1639
01:20:02,965 --> 01:20:04,398
With that hammer saw as well
1640
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,700
eventually,
bloodsport found some space
1641
01:20:06,702 --> 01:20:08,536
And got that tri-bar rolling
1642
01:20:08,637 --> 01:20:12,139
And skorpios' weapon ended u
taking some meaningful damage.
1643
01:20:12,141 --> 01:20:13,207
That's right.
1644
01:20:13,209 --> 01:20:14,708
And this may just come down
1645
01:20:14,710 --> 01:20:17,778
To how heavily the judges
weighed that damage.
1646
01:20:17,780 --> 01:20:22,416
You can see skorpios' saw
blade bent sideways there,
1647
01:20:22,418 --> 01:20:24,618
And it looked to lose
function down the stretch.
1648
01:20:24,687 --> 01:20:27,588
For my money, skorpios
was the aggressor in this fight
1649
01:20:27,590 --> 01:20:29,089
And controlled the pace.
1650
01:20:29,091 --> 01:20:31,759
But you never want to leave
it in the hands of the judges.
1651
01:20:31,761 --> 01:20:33,727
Bloodsport never backed down
1652
01:20:33,796 --> 01:20:35,429
This is going to be interesting.
1653
01:20:35,431 --> 01:20:37,565
Here is faruq with the decision.
1654
01:20:39,202 --> 01:20:42,002
The results from
the judges are in.
1655
01:20:46,709 --> 01:20:49,243
We have a split decision.
1656
01:20:52,315 --> 01:20:57,318
Judge jason scored
the battle for bloodsport.
1657
01:21:01,057 --> 01:21:06,360
Judge derek scored
the battle for skorpios.
1658
01:21:10,366 --> 01:21:14,969
Judge lisa scored the
battle for the winner...
1659
01:21:20,309 --> 01:21:21,976
Skorpios!
1660
01:21:24,814 --> 01:21:26,213
Oh, my god!
1661
01:21:33,089 --> 01:21:37,791
Skorpios! Skorpios! Skorpios!
1662
01:21:37,793 --> 01:21:39,226
Skorpios!
1663
01:21:39,228 --> 01:21:40,527
Skorpios!
1664
01:21:40,529 --> 01:21:42,196
Hey, diana, it's your moment.
1665
01:21:45,067 --> 01:21:47,101
Zach and diana.
1666
01:21:47,103 --> 01:21:48,202
Hello.
1667
01:21:48,204 --> 01:21:49,336
Wow.
1668
01:21:49,438 --> 01:21:51,071
Last year you won a bounty,
1669
01:21:51,073 --> 01:21:52,239
And now you guys have just
1670
01:21:52,341 --> 01:21:54,675
Become the first
gatekeeper to punch a ticket
1671
01:21:54,677 --> 01:21:56,944
Into the golden bolt tournament.
1672
01:21:56,946 --> 01:21:58,245
Whoo!
1673
01:22:00,116 --> 01:22:02,983
Zach, I know that the
2021 regular season
1674
01:22:02,985 --> 01:22:05,452
Did not go the way
that that you wanted.
1675
01:22:05,554 --> 01:22:08,155
But now you have a chance
to hoist the golden bolt,
1676
01:22:08,257 --> 01:22:11,625
Taking on other champions
from this great sport.
1677
01:22:11,627 --> 01:22:13,027
How excited are you?
1678
01:22:13,029 --> 01:22:15,062
We couldn't to be more pumped.
1679
01:22:15,064 --> 01:22:16,897
We're going into
the golden bolt.
1680
01:22:16,899 --> 01:22:18,299
We're taking on tombstone.
1681
01:22:18,301 --> 01:22:19,400
We're taking on end game.
1682
01:22:19,402 --> 01:22:21,702
We're taking on
the best of the best.
1683
01:22:24,774 --> 01:22:26,240
Guys, congratulations.
1684
01:22:26,309 --> 01:22:28,676
We'll see you in
the golden bolt.
1685
01:22:36,152 --> 01:22:40,087
So skorpios becomes the
first gatekeepe to claim a spot.
1686
01:22:40,089 --> 01:22:41,455
And kenny, wow,
1687
01:22:41,524 --> 01:22:43,457
Just look at how this
golden bolt tournament
1688
01:22:43,492 --> 01:22:46,694
Field is shaping up
between the slugfest champs
1689
01:22:46,696 --> 01:22:48,262
And the giant nut winners.
1690
01:22:48,331 --> 01:22:50,531
This is looking like
the mount rushmore
1691
01:22:50,533 --> 01:22:52,800
Of today's top bots.
1692
01:22:52,802 --> 01:22:54,702
Yeah, only two weeks before
1693
01:22:54,803 --> 01:22:56,770
What is going to
be an absolutely
1694
01:22:56,772 --> 01:22:58,906
Insane royal rumble.
1695
01:22:58,908 --> 01:23:01,709
That sure is a lot of
dead presidents, chris.
1696
01:23:01,777 --> 01:23:02,876
Join us next time
1697
01:23:02,878 --> 01:23:04,979
When another band
of marquee bots
1698
01:23:04,981 --> 01:23:08,015
Will put it all on the line
for their shot at glory.
1699
01:23:08,017 --> 01:23:11,986
Who will be the first ever team
to take home the golden bolt?
1700
01:23:11,988 --> 01:23:14,221
It'll be fun to see
how it all shakes out.
1701
01:23:15,691 --> 01:23:18,125
So that'll do it for
us for this evening.
1702
01:23:18,127 --> 01:23:20,094
For faruq, our bot
whisperer pete,
1703
01:23:20,096 --> 01:23:21,528
My man kenny florian.
1704
01:23:21,530 --> 01:23:22,696
I am chris rose.
1705
01:23:22,698 --> 01:23:25,766
We'll see you next time
here on battlebots.
1706
