BattleBots

in the 25-year history of the sport,

Excellence at battlebots has been measured in hardwar

The pride of the giant bolts

what a destructive robot.

the glory of the desperado and bounty hunter.

they have run the gantlet.

and the ultimate pri

For those seeking battlebot immortality, the giant nut.

world champion...

now a new quest for greatness begins.

This is battlebots champions, the race for the golden bolt.

robots, activate.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

welcome to another night of battlebots champi

[crowd cheering and applauding]

I'm chris rose, joined as always by my better half,

The ufc legend combat robotics analyst extraordinaire,

Say hello to kenny florian.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

Chris, thank you very much.

Vegas, make some noise!

[crowd cheering and applauding]

we are in week four of this incredible

New battlebots event.

And if our previous slugfest are any indication for tonight,

You'd better buckle up because it's gonna get wild.

we have already see hypershock, ribbot,

And the young guns on team glitch,

Punch their tickets to the golden bowl tournamen

Where they will be joined by giant nut winners,

Tombstone, end game and tantrum.

And now only two spots remain,

Which means we are just a few weeks awa

From that exclusive one-night royal rumble.

Where the world's most battle-hardened robots

Will compete for the shinies new status symbol

On the battlebots circui the golden bolt!

[crowd cheering and applauding]

and tonight, we've got eight more teams

Looking to napalm their way

Into that tournament of champions.

And to do it, they'll have to get through

One of the most versatile bo in the world, skorpios.

after nearly two decades in combat robotics,

Zach lytle and diana karlsso

Have become one of the most formidable teams in this sport.

In 2020, they took down the former giant nut winner

And maybe the most feared bo on the planet, tombstone.

We beat the king of kinetic energy.

then they parlayed that success into winning the ice way bout.

skorpios!

will skorpios be the first gatekeeper

To clinch a spot in the golden bolt tournamen

Or will it be another challenger that punches their ticket?

[crowd cheering and applauding]

Let's get it started and see who's stepping up tonight.

South korea's blade tries to slice and dice

The floridian behemoth krake

who wins in a fight

The bot that pumps iron or the one that forges it?

We'll find out when deadlift steps up to blacksmith.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

it's a coin toss ove who comes out ahead

And who comes out headless as switchback battles lucky

but first, our opening fight,

The bot who's as cruel as a cucumber,

Big dill faces the devastating blades of bloodsport.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

All right, all right. Enough talk.

Let's get to the fights.

Faruq, do your thing.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?

It's robot fighting time.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

in the red square, from seattle, washington.

It's not pickle rick,

It's the reason you're about to get pickle-wrecked.

It's big dill!

[crowd cheering and applauding]

it is quite the big dill

And that bot is led by emmanuel carrillo.

He was born without a right hand.

And kenny, he has told us countless times,

He is happy to be an inspiration in this sport.

that's right.

He has a couple of career wins,

But they didn't get invited

To last year's world championship.

This is a huge opportunity to prove himself

And get some momentum going into next year.

The bot looks incredible.

And those 20-inch long arms make it a very effective lifter.

And don't forget about that mini bot.

yeah, spicy meatball

The mini bot has made its return.

My stomach always gets hungr when I call big dill bites, by the way.

in the blue square, from cambridge, massachusetts.

Jean-claude van damme, this robot's scary,

It's bloodsport!

[crowd cheering and applauding]

here comes captain justin marple

Pushing that death machine out of the tunnel.

Bloodsport is fast, it is powerful, and it is deadly, kenny.

yeah.

This is a team that rocketed up the battlebots

Totem pole over the course of its three seasons,

Was seeded number two overal in the 2020 tournament

But did get bounced in the round of 32 last year

If justin can use that spee to create space and spin up

That 48-inch long bar,

This bot could go toe to toe with anyone.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

So we've brought a lot of horizontal spinners in the past,

I send them with the mini bot.

Come in, grab them, and lift.

I know exactly where they hit.

I know how tall they are.

Our wedges are in the perfect height to counteract that.

So, unless they can grow a few inches,

I think we're gonna be pretty good.

It's essential that we win this fight

'cause I really want to get to the skorpios final,

Beat them and get into that golden bolt tournament.

My strategy is kind of similar to what we've done in the past,

What's worked in the past, aim for the edges of the wedge,

Try to get their wheels, try to get around them.

So, we're hoping that combination of being able to get around them,

Hit them really hard will get us that win.

So, if we can get through big dill,

I think we have a good shot going straight to the skorpios.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

robots, activate.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

when you look at bloodsport,

You'll notice that that's not a garden hose on top.

That is a self-righter for when they get flipped over.

And for more on bloodsport's opponent,

Let's bring in the bot whisperer pete.

Gentlemen, I was talking to emmanuel before this fight.

And get this, you see those cute little green doorstops

On big dill's front wedges.

Well, those actually used to be a part

Of one of the most legendary lifter bots of all time.

Free shipping!

Driven, of course, by garry jim.

Now, garry worked with emmanuel to weld those doorstops

Right at the height of bloodsport's weapon.

So, when big dill does take some shots,

Its lifter arms should not g completely destroyed.

Just lifters helping lifters, guys.

Any time you got a little bit of garry jim hanging around,

That could be magical.

red team, ready?

[crowd cheering and applauding]

blue team, ready?

[crowd cheering and applauding]

remember, these slugfests are single elimination.

Every fight tonight is win or go home.

Who's gonna move one step closer to a battle

With skorpios and a potential berth

In the golden bolt tournament?

fight! Fight! Fight!

let's the bot battle begin.

Big dill with a hard charge

oh!

he lands a big shot.

good defense there by big dill.

Those big front wedges already paying off.

bloodsport trying to attack

From the side to stuck in the front.

well, the blade got awfully close to that weapon chain.

the chain broke.

uh-oh.

big dill already lost its lifter.

Let's see if carrillo's bot can move.

Oh, gosh.

That's not the right direction.

oh, bloodsport taking full advantage of that mistake.

big dill caught in the screw

Now those are gonna reverse if they can.

But is the bot wedged too tight in there?

I'm gonna have to count you out

If you're not moving.

bloodsport deliverin what might be the kill shot

ten, nine...

that is gonna be it

yeah, it is.

The countdown has started.

Big dill is stuck, and now bloodsport's going mini bot hunting.

oh!

did you want that spicy meatball cut in two?

yes, thank you.

[crowd cheering and applauding]

well, kenny, you talked about that devastating blade

That bloodsport has.

yeah, this thing can take you out in the blink of an eye

If you're not careful.

Bloodsport, able to sever the weapon chain on big dill

With surgical precision.
