BattleBots

Oh my God!

So here's the deal.

Bronco is a world championship contender

in the sport of robot combat.

It's kind of like the New York Yankees of bots.

Oh!

It's high-powered flipper conlauging 250-pound robot

into the air like it's a stack of pancakes.

This crowd is up on its feet!

It is previously sent blacksmith eight feet in the air.

It's launched lock jaw, 11 feet,

and bombshell 12 feet.

That's almost high enough to flip over an NBA backboard.

Now, here's something interesting.

At the top of the battle box,

the light grid measures Kenny,

how high is that thing?

At 16 feet, Chris.

Way to go, tough guy.

Now behind the scenes,

the crew's got a bet going that before the end of this season,

Bronco will take out one of these lighting panels.

Will tonight be the night?

Let's find out.

Go, cap there.

What's happening?

Everybody, and welcome to Battle Box Fight Night,

where the only thing to fear is, well,

just about everything.

Is everybody ready for this?

I'm joined by one of the most feared fighters inside the Octagon UFC legend Kenny Florian.

You want to know what's scary?

Take a look at tonight's fight card.

It is stacked front to back with absolutely ferocious robots,

all facing critical fights,

and all looking to keep their hopes of making the top 16 a lot.

And check out our main screen.

It's a battle of the beasts as Bronco, the most powerful flipper of all time,

faces the mighty duck.

And don't let that cute little name fool you.

It travels around the Battle Box faster than the bird flu.

To win, Bronco will have to crowd that little speedster, both bots are 2 and 0,

and neither wants to sacrifice their perfect record tonight.

And take a look at this world-class fight card.

We have the all-mighty, subtle, and strong,

and we will have to look at this world-class fight card.

We have the all-mighty, subtle, and strong, and strong,

versus the Cat 5 Hurricane, Montsoom,

a vertical bar from the UK that's left a trail of destruction in its past so far.

Wow, Montsoom is a beast!

Montsoom's captain, up in Comer Tom Rooster,

has the rare opportunity to start his Battle Box career,

a perfect three-0 here tonight.

And then hold on to your fritches,

because the UK's Simon Scott and Ian Lewis return with the legendary.

Breakdancing, head spinning, warheads,

making its 2018 debut.

We'll also see Sub-Zero with that suspect pneumatic flipper attempt to freeze red devil in his tracks.

But Robbie Bobbalal's team has swapped the defensive-minded plow for an offensive claw

as another power-up to its already devastating saw configuration.

I feel like I'm in the dead end gear!

But first, we're going to go full throttle right out of the gate.

Starting the night, the Mario Andredi of Bot drivers,

wheelbales and hyper-shock in desperate need of a win trying to deliver a knockout blow

to the fiery, foreclips, free shipping, and the master builder, Gary J.

Ready to get this party started?

Homo is ready.

Baruch, my man!

Take it away! It's all yours!

Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?

It's robot fighting time!

And the Red Square, better call the electrician,

because this bot is about to cause a blackout.

It's wired for destruction and looks so damn electro-cute.

It's hyper-shock!

Ooh, wheelbales sending a message to free shipping.

It's a ball move, but he won his last fight against a cheeseburger.

He's still got a lot to prove.

And the Blue Square, someone called Wamouson,

because this bot is in its prime, coming to deliver the pain that can't be contained.

It's free shipping!

It looks like free shipping is sporting a new accessory tonight, Kenny.

Yeah, Gary added a steel wedge on the front of his bot to help deflect hyper-shock's dispener.

To win, we've got to keep the front end of free shipping, ramming it to that blade of his.

Hopefully, kill the blade and then push him around.

Yeah, we get to start again.

We probably don't have enough spare parts to go on.

We're O2 and we've got to get a win here.

I'm hoping that we can get to the side, stay on him, rip parts off, throw him over the wall.

Do everything we can to keep him, he never gets an opportunity to get the edge.

All we got to do is get one good hit in.

They're not invertible and if they get stuck on their side, they're done.

We got to back to you.

Hyper-Shock said it needs to impress the selection committee in order to make the top 16,

buckle your seat belts.

These are two of the best drivers in the world.

Ready, ready.

Ready, ready.

Let the bottom battle begin.

Hyper-Shock ran into the battle box, ran into the floor.

Free shipping, rappelling hyper-shock with those flames early on.

Right now, right hit there from Hyper-Shock, attacking the backside.

But free shipping, not concern.

Brushes him off.

Now the primary spinner trying to get going for hyper-shock, not working the way they want it though.

No, it is far from full speed.

Hyper-Shock gets tilted up into the air.

Now that spinner is working. Let's see how much damage you can do to free shipping.

And both drivers just incredible on the control Chris.

Big time flame for free shipping and Gary Gin.

And you see how fast Hyper-Shock is able to retreat with the quickness there.

Well, he's trying to drive free in order to build up some momentum with that weapon.

Wheel bales with some speed and control.

Oh, free shipping almost collects him there.

You got to love the aggressive driving of Gary Gin right now.

Oh, little off the cut right there.

Uh oh, there's something wrong with Hyper-Shock.

He just can't seem to get that primary weapon up to full speed.

It kind of goes there.

He builds up the half speed and then kind of dies, Kenny.

Yeah, that's got to be a concern big plus for Gary Gin though.

Uh oh, Hyper-Shock got a 10-kidden self-right.

Whoa.

Oh, got hot here. Yes, it did.

Hyper-Shock only has one fork. They have to save weight.

Plane, plane, plane.

Uh oh, Hyper-Shock is trouble and he's burning up here.

Now it's using the screws.

It's trying to use that one fork to self-right.

Nearly midway through this round.

Not many big blows.

But a heck of a lot of heat.

Uh oh, Hyper-Shock is serious trouble.

And it gets back over.

And then it gets put on its head again.

Great job by Gary Gin.

Excellent time and thereby Gin.

This fight is very tactical.

Oh, Hyper-Shock on its head once again.

Oh.

Let's see what Gary Gin does.

He's trying to burn the inside guts and the tires.

He's got a little fire on the tires.

A Hyper-Shock.

Hyper-Shock is not bouncing now.

Oh, no.

Gary Gin and free shipping just shitting back to the marshmallows.

Getting the guitar out, Kenny.

I'm ready for a little sing-a-long.

Yeah, not sure.

Well, Bales will be singing Chris.

His bots and turtles are on fire.

And he's smoking.

Uh oh, he's not fire. Chris, this is not good.

10-9-1.

What a impressive performance.

As Gary Gin says,

the four-com, Hyper-Shock, up in the winner circle.

Such an impressive win for free shipping, Chris.

A textbook win for Gary Gin.

He is ecstatic in why wouldn't he be?

First win of the season, let's take a closer look at this carnage.

We knew he was going to come down to driving.

And Gary Gin said,

nice try, Grasshopper, but I'm still the master.

MVP of this fight was that wedge of free shipping.

It was so effective.

It forced Hyper-Shock to flip.

And then Gary Gin torched him with the planes.

We've seen a few flamethrowers in the battle box,

but this one from Gary Gin really impacted his opponent.

And ultimately, one of the fight Hyper-Shock behind the A-fall now

falls to one and two.

Jeez, it's been a rough season.

They do have a win. That's going to help them.

They're a beautiful bot. They're a fun team.

They are.

We'll see. They got the work cut out for it.

All right, Kenny. Coming up.

Red Devil looks to melt sub-zero with that hellish saw blade.

And of course, all action leads to our main event.

What's feeling like a David and Goliath battle?

Where duck will look to bring down the giant Bronco?

We've got tons more action.

Come in your way on Battle Box.

Fight night.

Welcome back to Battle Box.

We've got Red Devil taking on sub-zero.

Each of these teams are coming off massive rebuilds.

And with matching one-on-one records,

this is a critical fight for both to win.

Let's send you inside the box.

And the Red Square.

It's Paladin's primal.

It's brush strokes a brutal.

And you'll get an airfall as it makes you say,

Vincent Fan, go.

No. It's Red Devil.

This is the first time this season

Red Devil's going with that steel claw instead of the plow.
