I was super bummed that Duck didn't get in the top 16 this season of battlebots, it was a mean bot and you could see Ray Billings sweat when your match was aired. Having a Tombstone vs. Duck fight at the start of the post-season would have been intense!

Awesome fight! I love the battlebots version DUCK! it has so much personality in the box and was a joy to watch this year. I really hope to see it return for a 2019 season.

@VestedUTuber

6 жыл бұрын

Well, Whoops also lost to Touro Maximus because you can't fight vertical spinners in the same way as horizontal spinners. Against a drum like Touro, you'd need a sturdy wedge. I personally would have used the wedge spike against Touro Maximus rather than the AR500 block. After all, that's what worked against Melanistic Leopard every time I went up against one of the team Mugga Junk D2 kits (though I've since developed an attachment specifically to beat D2s with the "wolverine claws").

@hrucker008

6 жыл бұрын

The idea of using a flat plate against a drum spinner like Touro Maximus is to take the hits and absorb the energy, while hoping their weapon breaks from its own hits. In the beginning of the match, the flat plate was working well, and at least one of Touro's weapon belts broke. I could see it on the floor and was optimistic that if I held on I might be able to completely disable their weapon. From my experiences against their drum spinners, their front forks that feed their opponent into their drum will eventually get under a wedge and turn the match to their advantage. I'm not disagreeing with your comment that a wedge might be a good way to beat a drum, but it's not a clear choice and Whoops! was designed to take big hits over and over. Even after fighting Touro Maximus after Last Rites, and then getting stuck on the wall, the bot was fully functional. Next time I'll use a different fastener to hold my plow's bolts on ;-)

Finally, a non-horizontal spinner bot goes the distance against a horizontal spinner and defeats it!

You know it was a great fight when there is that much debris on the arena floor.

This might be a bit silly, but heres an idea for ring master if you can change the rings in a reasonable amount of time: a flail ring. (Using chains) This would solve a major issue that ring spinners have with weapon on weapon contact by not having the ring contact the opponents weapon. This also of course means that you will less concern with being hit in general, and you might get around to vulnerable part of a bot, making it especially effective against off set bar spinners Now of course this has downsides. Theres safety which might prevent from going in with that ring, it likely wont be as strong as the normal one and might not get the bite. This is why it should be using chains. and the increased radius might help compensate for something that either cant, or has a very hard time being single toothed (although it might not have an issue in the first place due to its radius) again you still likely wont be hitting as hard as normal but id imagine itd be enough.

Old comment but two issues: If you decouple the teeth from the ring, you loose a lot of inertial mass so it's not going to really hit hard. And if the chain breaks then you just have high speed projectiles flying through the arena which might cause safety issues if the flails are heavy enough.

The two names were interchangeable. Tombstone was i itially a super heavyweight back in 2004 while Last Rites was a heavyweight. When Battlebots returned in 2009 and then in 2015 onwards Ray used the Tombstone name. I think due to licencing and contracts he couldn't use the name Tombstone outside of Battlebots so between 2015 and 2018 Tombstone would compete at Robogames under the name Last Rites. It is the same for most Battlebots though. Minotaur was Touro Maximus, Free Shipping was Original Sin, Duck was Whoops etc etc
