You can see the amount of weight & power behind SOW's spinner on that first hit where it tears a large chunk off Huge, from the POV of the camera you can see the battlebox literally shakes when SOW smacks into the arena wall at about 1:00 because of his weapon recoil.

[@ryansantiago6338]

I can't stand when there's a massive hit and the camera immediately focuses on the reactions of the announcers instead of the action of the fight.

[@RDeathmark]

That would be editing not camera work

@@RDeathmark I know that and you know what I mean. They're literally switching cameras at the worst moments.

I always liked sow design; remote controlled lawnmower where tombstones more of a brush-hog.

[@SKdestroyer95]

On this episode of "WIll it Blend?" we have HUGE's wheels

[@tripollogy6874]

With the blender being SOW lol

[@BradiKal61]

I dont like the design of Huge but i have to admit that it takes a lot more punishment than i would have ever guessed

[@MasterOfViewership]

But the extremely large ground clearance, small blade, and reliance on its wheels for mobility makes the targeted hits easy to land

[@lewycraft]

To be fair, this year a lot of things lines up for Huge to win the Giant Nut

[@privateinformatics6584]

Damn doesn't matter whether it's with Hydra or with SOW team whyachi always acts with malice

[@rathuel4701]

And then there's fusion

[@lionelcopeland7805]

And falcon

[@jliller]

Let's be honest: myself and a lot of other fans see a crippled bot in the arena and shout FINISH HIM!!!

[@AlmostEthical]

Huge needed to keep its weapon turned to Wyachi and try to preserve the wheels but I guess that big machine is hard to control

[@JonatasAdoM]

The problem is that whenever they need to move they have to turn the whole bot around and expose it's wheels. SOW is literally a moving weapon.

[@Asertix357]

Huge: "This fight is mine to win, you pathetic clothesline." Son of Whyachi: "We'll just see about that, you impotent wagon axle!"

[@theDancingDragonfly]

TXV800: At least it didn't split in half! Icewave: Ahem

[@BigFatWedge]

I think 0:45 is the only time HUGE’s blade made contact.

[@tripollogy6874]

Yes. It was also weapon on weapon

[@milestailsprower5145]

I wish Tombstone might do the same like S.O.W., or maybe split HUGE in half again just like Icewave did

[@sonicthehedgehog1188]

Miles Tails Prower yeah maybe split him in half I would think

[@Narcan885]

The production team will never match Huge with Tombstone, they know it'd get totaled in seconds

[@thunderp1719]

@@Narcan885 Yes,it's in seconds. Like sow vs tombstone or icewave vs sow ..since sow is dense so ot can destroy tombstone i guess. Also,sow vs copperhead

[@Chugabutt69]

I just listened to a really good interview with team Huge on Wizard and the Bruiser. I have to say I'm impressed with how well those wheels held up.

[@anirecorder2555]

"Is that all you got you freaky blender" Man I'm dead 🤣🤣🤣

[@a.bdioro5302]

“ is that all you got your freaky blender quotes seems like something huge would absolutely say if he could talk

[@WhatSayCrochet]

I wish they would rename that bot “Son of A-Botch” a better show name.

[@RDeathmark]

Huge is one of the only battle bots I'd be willing to actually fight myself and think I could potentially defeat

[@attackrobotics7009]

You wouldn't beat it fam. You see that heavy vert? Yea that would tear right through you.

[@RDeathmark]

@@attackrobotics7009 if it hit me

[@attackrobotics7009]

@@RDeathmark Even if you were gonna fight it, how would you break it?

[@RDeathmark]

@@attackrobotics7009 unsure how durable various parts are on it, my strategy would be to stay on the side of it try to control one of the wheels if I can by grabbing the spokes from there if I can destroy the wheel I will attempt to do so if I can tip it up onto its side I would attempt that and if neither of those strategies work assuming the battle is taking place in the arena I would try to control the Bot and use the hazards

[@attackrobotics7009]

@@RDeathmark It took multiple hits from SOW and it isn't even the newest version of the bot.

[@levicelestial5395]

There fights is so epic

[@MasterOfViewership]

This is why being big in this version of the show can be a detriment

[@GOD14FOREVE]

I haven't really seen the new battle bots but I thought it was gabriel from robot wars for a second because of the wheels

[@HiroNguy]

If Huge had enough torque to turn that partial wheel and retain some mobility....

[@fishoutofwater7743]

Loool the tiny wheels tho

[@didd.project5731]

Go back to my food cart huge!

[@lijo1830]

Didn't know thermocol could last this much

[@gregholman2431]

Absolutely no chance there.

[@jliller]

Pretty much an unwinnable matchup for Huge because SOW's spinner is wider than Huge's track width. The only hope was that one of those hits would throw SOW hard enough into a wall to disable the spinner before SOW took out a wheel.

[@nottele870]

reminds me of icewave vs huge

[@liquidalloy]

Son Of Whyachi loves to throw late hits when they already have the win.

Huge: Gabriel's gringo brother

[@neurotraumatized-thrall]

Ah. A satisfying SOW knockout! Ha Ha! Screw you huge!

[@matt6260]

I dont really understand why Huge is designed like that? Like bruh those wheels are so exposed its the same as Axe backwards

[@zedlav915]

They were just trying something new and unique to counter more conventional designs. It works out for them quite often.

[@ExtremeSquared]

It's "heavily inspired" by a British robot called Gabriel that managed to hold its own against the British version of Tombstone, massively subverting expectations. See Carbide vs Gabriel.

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

Exposed wheels aren't an inherent design flaw. Yes they can become targets for spinners, but when the majority of the field is spinners I feel that becomes a moot point. Bots with wheels that are fully exposed also tend to be more maneuverable and easier to right when inverted, if not fully invertible (e.g. Hypershock, Skorpios, Rotator, Sawblaze, Lock-Jaw). As far as the armour goes, the design philosophy behind using HDPE is that, because it's more flexible than most metals, it can better absorb the impacts of large spinning weapons. This can also cause more wear on the opponent's internals, such as when British robots Carbide (an invertible bar-spinner bot designed by the same people as Cobalt) and Gabriel (a HDPE thwackbot) fought in Season 10 of Robot Wars. Carbide won the judge's decision, but Gabriel was still mobile throughout the entire bout, and team Carbide revealed that their robot had suffered fairly significant internal damage as a result.

Nah... Huge's spectacular Evisceration of Moist Pony will forever leave me with fond feelings of that bot. Its almost as if The goofy design was meant for that one shot. I mean, Huge left Moist Pony's mutilated corpse hanging from the arena lights in a single hit.

Revenge for beating bronco

[@Narcan885]

As you can see, they thought that too and were standing back. But the referee wouldn't start the count because Huge still had some "movement". So they had no other choice than to try and finish the fight

[@jliller]

You: That last shot was unnecessary. Me: It's not a sufficient KO until one bot is shattered into pieces.
