Absolutely. It was a great bit of driving by the minibot and, undoubtedly, what won this for Jackpot. Spoiler below. Ace was MVP of their Cobalt fight too. Driver was so terrified of Ace getting under them that _they turned their back on the main bot_ to deal with the minibot.

I think what hurt Lucky was this moment right here at 6:35 . They had Jackpot on top, but they were stalling for time. It didn’t look like a pin or a moment of control that would’ve given them control or aggression points. It’s like sitting in the middle of the arena with your opponent on top of you and you’re doing nothing. Also the drive on Lucky was dying at that point, which was almost the 2 minute mark of the match. Now, they did get a pin shortly after, but the drive was already dying, so basically the control they thought they had backfired on them.

If Lucky at least had the front pressed against the Upper Deck wall or at least tried to show signs it was an attempt of a pin and not just sitting idle, then maybe Lucky could've saved themselves a point.

@@TKBomber7285 It helped. Lucky's drive was burning out (hence the smoke) an most likely from the hit's Jackpot did on that side.

the integrity of Ace in the strategy of this bot is what makes it so scary. If ace lifts you, it’s easy to slam right where they want to.

I've seen minibots in show before like Witch Doctor's Shaman and WAR Hawk's WAR Stop, but I think Jackpot's little Ace just eclipsed them both as my favorite minibot in the reboot. Amazing to see Jackpot FINALLY doing well after a very lack luster WC7. Its no WC6 personally, but its a step in the right direction. Great fight BTW! 🎰

Ace was the real MVP this episode, serving up perfect shots for Jackpot and clinching the win twice in a row, but this was easily the closest match of the night. I would not have wanted to be in the judges' panel for this one. Lucky really rallied towards the back half of the fight and managed to land some very effective pins and flips, if it hadn't lost a side of drive I wouldn't have envied Jackpot's chances at a win.

Lucky has seriously went up the ranks, they went from a robot who got knocked out in every other fight, to a robot who can survive and do good against most of the mid tier spinners.

4:55 LET THE BOT BATTLE BEGIN!

This was a very close fight and could have gone either way, but lucky smoking at the end probably swung it in jackpot favor. (When Faruq said "ding ding ding ding ding," I knew jackpot won) A shame to see lucky eliminated, I love flippers and I want to see more of him in the future

In the end, I have to agree with Jackpot winning. Jackpot did lose the weapon, as well as the minibot support, but there were clear shots of Lucky's wheelguard bent in enough to affect its drive (and part of that was from a hit from Jackpot), the smoke from Lucky could possibly be internal damage, and in the end, Lucky's weapon wasn't settling cleanly into its housing, likely meaning that it couldn't fire it anymore.

Two drive chains is one, one is none. Always have redundancy in your power transmission method from motor to weapon. And don't hesitate to use big beefy drive chains. Even chains with a working load of over 15,000 pounds are pretty cheap.

Estupendo

Forgot to mention mini bot taken out, and no main weapon?? Bad decision 🤣 makes me remember why I don't watch these fights anymore 😔

I freaking love battlebots. It's like sportsball but for smart people

Lucky dominated a lot of this match before losing its drive at the end with 30 seconds left. Lucky was chasing Jackpot for longer, often going straight at it. Lucky disabled the weapon of Jackpot and also killed the minibot by getting Jackpot inverted on it. Even though Jackpot lost its weapon, it should have been more aggressive or tried to take advantage of Lucky's dying drive. This is a really close match but I'd actually give it to Lucky. Surprised they didn't appeal. Awesome job by Lucky and Ace, certainly wasn't a robbery though. Damage 3-2 (Jackpot) Control 2-1 (Lucky) Aggression 2-1 (Lucky)

i would have voted for jackpot aswell, because lucky got pretty much disabled in the end. if it comes down to having no primary weapon vs no ability to drive, then i think no weapon wins. you can have weapon, but if you can't control your bot, then not much you can do.

Does anyone else find flipper bots like Lucky incredibly boring? Using a flipper is like getting into a fist fight, but instead of using punches or kicks, you just try to tackle your opponent to the ground or throw them off their feet. How exciting, real action going on there. Arent we watching this for destruction instead of just a pushing and throwing match?

Im still trying to figure out how lucky didnt win this fight…

So for all those saying that Lucky losing drive is what gives Jackpot the win, this isn't how the judges judge fights, they go by a certain criteria and I think the most important in this fight is damage, Judges don't judge based on how severe or important a part of a robot that's lost is ex. losing drive is more important than losing weapon. They judge the fight based on overall functionability and how it's affected. Losing a weapon and losing drive is viewed as equal and the same, which means Jackpot only wins Damage 3-2 as opposed to 4-1. "3-to-2 score If the apparent level of damage done to each Bot is similar, the Judges have to determine which Bot’s actions created damage with the greatest negative impact on the performance of its opponent" "4-to-1 score One Bot does a substantial amount of damage to the function of critical systems of the opposing Bot, but also takes some damage that reduces the effectiveness of its own critical systems. Alternatively, one Bot does damage that only reduces the effectiveness of its opponents’ critical systems without taking anything beyond cosmetic damage." Jackpot losing it's weapon only allows it 3 damage points, and the rest are locked to Lucky, regardless of what happens to it. Aggression and control are both pretty easy 2-1's for Lucky, Lucky was instigating most of the exchanges and control Jackpot MUCH more. Lost drive doesn't = loss in Battlebots. Maybe it should, but it doesn't, with the way the criteria is designed Lucky handily wins 6-5. Hard snubbed.
