BattleBots

together.

Hey, everyone, and welcome to

baddlebots The only

show where Robots aren't

here to take your job.

They're here to take your

life.

My Chris Rosen joining me in

the safety booth is former

UFC star.

And the one guy you want

in your corner when the

robots take over.

Kenny Florian.

Chris, thank you very much.

I should point out though, I have actually never fought a robot.

Well, don't worry, buddy.

The night is still young.

The second half of the season is underway,

and every team in the pits has their sights set

on making the top 16.

Any team with a loss or two needs to tighten the screws

and leave it all in the box for their final fights.

Come out in attack mode, use your primary weapon,

and be aggressive to impress the selection committee.

Yeah, I get it.

And I'm sure we're going to see a lot of that aggression tonight.

I expect nothing less from the bots that we have on tonight's fight card.

So let's take a look at it.

Check out this monster lineup of lethal weapons

from all over the world.

Pauline, Russia, and the UK are representing here tonight,

and it's all headlined by our main event.

As two-time battle box champion, Fight Force goes head-to-head

with one of the best drivers in the field,

Will Bales, and the undefeated hypershot.

Also on the card, Montsoon will continue its reign of terror

unless Valkyrie has something to say about it.

They're both one-in-one with a knockout under their belt.

Also, we have two battle bots veterans,

Gary Gin and free shipping,

taking on Xander Rose and Reason Bradley of Bronco.

Both teams are desperate for a win,

and they'll be pulling out all the stops later tonight.

Bronco stupled out of the gate this year,

and you could bet their eyeing free shipping

like a package stamped for a one-way flight

to the top of the battle box.

And also from Russia, we'd love.

Rainbow is looking to bake Alaska's legendary Yeti,

and kicking things off tonight,

one of the nastiest newcomers from Team Waiachi.

Hydra is taking on Dutch Crusher, Petunia.

Hydra has stormed on in the scene with a new breed of flipper,

but they shouldn't look past Petunia.

That beat can self-right, and that crusher is packing

10 tons of force that can send Hydra back to the underworld.

Hey, listen, Kenny.

I hope somebody checked the support beams of the stadium

because that fight card is going to blow the roof

right off this joint.

So for real, take it away, my man.

It's all yours.

Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?

It's Bullbot by the time.

Woo!

In the red square, this spot is going

to make you die hard.

It's about to inflict some John McPain.

You're going to need some Nakatomi plasma.

Welcome to the Battle Box, pal.

It's Hydra!

All right, Kenny.

Hydra engineered by Jake Ewerk 2-0

with knockout wins over free shipping and War Hawk.

What is it planned on doing tonight?

Chris, this is super secretive.

Don't tell anybody he wants to try to flip, flip,

but Tunea, I get it again.

Can you slow down?

I'm writing that down.

In the blue square, when I hear the words,

death, destruction, suffering, blood baths,

and carnage, one name comes to mind.

Tunea!

Tunea knocked out by War Hawk and it's

opener, wanted decision over Marvin.

How's it doing these days, OK?

Well, they blew their hydraulic pump in the last fight,

but it's working now.

I'm watching out for that crusher, though.

Hydra is at the perfect time for Tunea

to get that beak into all those juicy parts

that make that flip work.

It will be a driving match.

Hopefully we can cut under them and crush them.

Hit something vital early on.

The strategy is to avoid the flipper as much as we can.

We try to cut to the sides and craft them

every 30 seconds.

We hold them.

They can do anything for us.

So we're going to use that.

It's a crusher.

So we haven't seen that kind of bot yet.

I'm going to test out the front and see

how my wedges fare against them, but hopefully it

goes in my favor and we just keep

flipping them over and over and over again.

If I can get them underneath him, it's going to go as high

as I can go.

And I'm going to try to get them stuck behind the wall.

Tunea, I'm coming for you.

We're both active here.

Gettie, Jake, you were confident as ever.

What are you looking for in this one?

Well, whoever wins the battle for Low Ground will obviously

have the advantage here.

But what's interesting to me is that these two are both

high-draulic weapons about to go toe-to-toe.

Jake seems sure he has the advantage.

But that crusher just needs one bite to cripple hydra.

Red team ready.

Red team ready.

Gettie, ready.

Let the bot battle begin.

Hydra whiffs on its first attempt.

Gets under Petunia there, but no power behind that shot.

Petunia retreats, looking to regroup.

There we go.

Hydra trying to get its timing.

That's how it did get underneath though.

Petunia playing a dangerous game, going straight

at that flipper, but almost had a pinch there.

And Hydra looking for an angled need to get to the backside.

Hydra had Petunia right by the screws ever to get your shot.

That one.

That's a good one.

Let's see.

I love it.

How that little two can't get back up on a ten.

Oh, he's going to go for one.

Hey.

Oh, oh, oh.

He's about to go through the clear.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

That he just broke the clock fire.

That was from long distance.

Uh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

There we go.

You want to fly, baby?

Hydra will help.

This is Dutch air.

Oh, no.

Oh, Petunia.

Is that going to be it?

There's no more help.

No, no, no.

Petunia.

It's done.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hey, you.

Get off the rails.

Are you done?

The fight's over there.

That way.

It's over there.

It's over there.

Really.

You're not supposed to be there?

Over.

Oh.

J.G.E.R.

Paul and his shots.

Hydra just might be the most powerful flipper of the game.

Well, Hydra did exactly what it wanted to, Kenny.

Yeah, it really did.

I mean, that is quite a machine.

Chris, that's exactly why he said this is probably the most powerful flipper in battlebots

right now.

Holy smokes, that is a dense bot that it's just bouncing all the way around the box.

I wasn't so sure it was going to be able to launch it out of the battlebox, but when it got

to our corner, I got to be honest with you.

I almost put you in front of me to protect us.

I had to have a word with Jake George, because that was disrespectful what he did to you.

Well, it was really to us, Kenny.

Well, he flipped you the burp.

Ah.

I see.

I see.

Well done.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Battlebots.

After Dark.

All right.

I'm here with Jake, you are of team Hydra.

Three different bots.

Warhawk, free shipping, Petunia.

They all get knocked out by Hydra.
