I love Huge. Such a unique design. It looks like it shouldn’t work, but they somehow managed to do great.

Yep, getting so far as the finals in the last season was something the most of the people couldn't imagine but I've seen that coming as the rest of the teams started to get deeper into the four-wheeled vert meta. The time it's running, and more and more unlikely designs are proving themselves. The previous season we got Tantrum, this time Sawblaze and HUGE.

Well deserved win, but what a show by Kraken! I wanna see more powerful and more flamethrowers.

In hindsight, HUGE probably would've done better to spin the bar downwards from the start, and get the vital components at the top. Still, it got the results it wanted in the end.

The problem with spinning downwards is that you'll send yourself flying when you hit the opponent.

@l.d.t.6327

no. Hindsight is 20/20, but not in this case. Spinning downwards = blocking your weapon or throwing yourself into the air. Spinning upwards (like almost al bots do) = sending the other both 10 ft into the air and keeping the momentum on your bar spinning.

@sadas3190

No spinning downwards means a lot of your energy goes into the floor. Almost all vertical spinners spin upward as default.

There was a robot like Huge in the UK's Robot Wars but it didnt have the blade (just a hammer tail that had no real weight to it), wasn't so well driven (which meant their weapon was pretty much useless) and was pretty much ineffectual. Here it shows how a bot like that can actually do well if given the right weapon and driving skills. Edit: It did try a blade attachment but it was still pretty ineffectual.

@@markholroyde9412 Saying one bot is like another when they have the same general shape and appearance (big white centre block with huge wheels) is completely valid, even if their weapons are different.

Robots like Kraken remind me of Wild Thing, it’s one of those machines that can tank the hits and still carry on, before the fight I was expecting Huge just to dominate from the beginning and not give Kraken any breathing space afterwards (possibly knocking it out). This sport keeps proving that nothing is certain until you see it.

1:03 That hit is beautiful 👏

those were some HUGE hits, i'm surprised that fire didn't melt any wires or circuit boards. but what i like most about huge, is that it started out as a clown / joke build, but they took it to the next level and just kept upgrading. i have to admit, i didn't think this design would ever work when i first saw it, but now its really good. i think they only have to be afraid of horizontal spinners, i only remember one time where huge got ripped apart by one.

Not sure if there's a "Best hit sound" category but man that hit at 1:06 sounded like a legit explosion. Very chonky smash.

It's no wonder Matt Spurk was in tears last season when he said Kraken was being retired. He has just lost the battle and knew the bot was past it's prime. He'd been fighting with that bot since Discovery's Season 3. RIP Kraken, you fought well. We can all only hope that Matt comes up with a new and even more amazing bot for 2023.

I feel like battlebots needs a shake up spinners are too prevelant its starting to get boring, maybe thats just me.

Spin/Kinetic lawnmover bots shouldn't be allowed . Build some real battlebots instead of taking a FKing electric motor with a swingarm to it.

the fire is completely useless
