Shows HOW tough Hypershock really is. The hit didn’t destroy the body on the spinner, it just sheared all the studs and bolts holding it to the chassis. Insane!

Insanely enough, Gigabyte's strategy of "get into the middle of the arena and get up to top speed" contributed to their undoing- the bot was spinning so fast when it got launched that the joints couldn't handle the pressure and it just took itself apart.

that's not what happened .. you even understand physics? reason why it fell apart, is because of the hypershocks' vertical spinner directly ripping the top off. vertical spinner spins upwards and that's what ripped it apart, not its own spinner .... learn basic physics.

Whether or not this is "The greatest hit ever" in the series, I think we should take a moment and consider that this bot, which weighs in the hundreds of lbs, got straight up thrown several feet into the air, looks like possibly over the heads of the competitors, so 5 to 6 feet. That is a terrifying amount of force that went into that hit, even if it was GB's own internal forces that ultimately disassembled it.

Gigabyte is one of my favorite bots...it takes so many big hits and keeps spinning somehow. The result is always an entertaining fight, win or lose. As entertaining as that last hit was...Gigabyte really missed an opportunity to win this match. They should have gone for one of Hypershock's wheels when it was having drive issues.

It's nice to have official HD versions of these fights.

Battlebots has come a long way. These bots are phenomenal. Can’t believe gigabyte survived those hits.

Gigabyte had a massive opening and for some reason got scared to take it

I think the Gigabyte driver knew something was wrong with his bot and might have had only one or two real hits left in it. so it was good strategy to just wait and see if Hypershock was going to get counted out because of drive issues. Of course when the last hit came it was over, but it might have happened the same way if Gigabyte went on the attack.

After watching this as the end of the first episode for the Golden Bolt tournament last year, not remotely surprised this is the top of the list. Not just for the fight itself, but the build-up to the qualifier through the entire episode. For anyone new to the sport, Will Bales has been a crowd favorite for several years now is spite of Hypershock having serious reliability issues, because his attitude and dedication IMO speaks to why people love Battebots as a competition. Watching him and his team pull-off a slam-dunk like this was for me a major catharsis, and this episode alone was worth the $8 I spent to buy the tournament online.

I feel like the biggest issue with full body spinners like Gigabyte and Captain Shredderator, as opposed to horizontal spinners like Tombstone and Rotator, is that the when facing against vertical spinners like hypershock, and have that chance of being launched in the air, the fast spinning body heavily shakes the mechanics of the bot which could eventually rip itself apart as we see here. Gigabyte wasn’t instantly dismantled when it was hit by Hypershock, you can see how much it’s shaking in the air until it tears itself apart.

Yeah, it seems the vertical spinners are the weak point of the full body spinner. The full body spinner is so powerful they just get so disrupted by getting launched by a vertical spinner.

I love the look on Will's face

Dang that’s crazy that last one caught me off guard

"This is weird oh my transmitter got changed!" Love it 😂

With the full body rotator, when it gets launched in the air, the drive part of it wants to rotate in the opposite direction of the rotator. The balance of the whole bot becomes almost non existent. That last, long flight was a killer. What a hard shot, from the vertical spinner.

I read a comments but saw some hype and didn't want to spoil what was apparently coming up... But I was NOT prepared for that finish!!!! WOW!!!!

Gigabyte: "They're done. We got this guys." Hypershock: "Nope."

Someone wasn't paying attention during physics class. Doubling the angular velocity quadruples the kinetic energy. ..or as the kids say, double yer rotation speed and quadruple your self-yeeting capability!

Advances in material sciences, teams of engineers, 10's of thousands of dollars poured into every competetion... and *still* nobody can hit with anything as crushing as the time Johnny5 called your mother a snowblower almost 40 years ago.

Gigabyte was like a true example of durability, but Hyper shock has the blunt force power to rip buts like Gigabyte in the air.

Gigabyte literally just exploded

I guess Gigabyte's team held back out of a sense of fair play, but that turned out to be a significant tactical error.

Good lord, both Hypershock and Gigabyte have improved so much over the years. I'm impressed by Gigabyte's durability! It was working and kept working up to the moment it was split in two. It took quite a few good hits to split Gigabyte in half too. Earlier versions of Gigabyte would've been knocked out faster, and the weapon would've been finished a lot sooner.

As close as Battle Bots will get to “that man just exploded”. Amazing hits by Hypershock

For a second I thought some artificial graphics were thrown in the mix. Jaw dropping moment! Unbelievable!! Wow!!

Wow Over the top action. I was not sure what to expect but this exceeded it. I want MORE!

I love it when ads play right before the action, then I have to rewind because the video doesn't pickup where it left off. Sometimes I miss cable TV. They didn't jerk you around during sports action.

Spontaneous Unplanned Midflight Disassembly.

What an awesome KO!

Bot: *explodes into a hundred pieces, clearly no way it can even dream of continuing* Ref: *TEN!!!!!*

Absolutely amazing. Hypershock wasn't about to quit!

Hypershock has some of the best upperattack, but its really unstable and can hurt itself and needs a second set of protection

Hypershock absolutely annihilated gigabyte

Hypershock: What direction do you want to go after I hit you? Gigabyte: Yes.

"This is weird, oh my transmitter got changed" is what I plan to say next time I crash an rc plane, heli or quad.

Even though he lost as a result of hanging back, that was some damn good sportsmanship on the gigabyte team's part
