BashBots Season 4 Episode 9 - Not So Sweet 16

[@TheRoboteer]

Spoilers! . . . . My interview didn't get included but in it I mentioned that I was kinda hoping for a rematch with Mars because I thought that I may be able to beat it if i didn't get slotted again What I failed to account for is that Robo obviously learned from out first encounter. You can clearly see me trying to employ the same tactics of getting under his flanks in this match, but for the most part he was wise to it, though I did have a bit of success towards the end of the fight as he was running out of gas. I actually forgot that this one went to a JD, and I remembered Mars being even more dominant than it was here. Only one way it could go but I think I made a semi-decent late rally to acquit myself fairly well this series. Sadly a negative record overall which is a shame, but given my calibre of opponent I think I can be fairly proud, and hopefully I've gone some way towards establishing myself in the eyes of the Bashbots fanbase. Hope to be back again next season to put on some more good fights and hopefully go that couple of steps further!

[@ThyrusEvo]

You did very well imo. Great contender for a top spot I think

[@teamgetwreckedcombatrobots776]

Claymore has easily established itself as one of my favorite competitors in BashBots. I’ve always been a fan of front-hinged flippers and your bot is clearly one of the best. I hope to see more amazing fights from Claymore next season!

[@tjgriffiths6856]

SPOILERS Not really surprised with the final three fights, but I didn’t expect Huge’s wheel to fall off against Tranquiliser - now they have another rematch at the same stage as they did last season 👀 Polis vs Tenderlove as a rematch is going to be insane 🤩

[@TheRobD4200]

So Mars is basically Apollo at this point. I'm okay with that.

[@MrMalestrome]

"And shocking absolutely no one" Is a golden line. Like he knew from the start that he was gonna win all along. Another great episode all in all though. I loved it

[@teamgetwreckedcombatrobots776]

Spoilers! F in the chat for Calcifier. Did the best they could against Amethyst. Also at this point I think it’s safe to say Atlas is the Whiplash of BashBots.

[@ThePimpasaurusRex456]

Excellent fights and loved the little history lesson, keep up the great work.

[@thericseascorpion5946]

Spoilers only look until after you are done watching New prediction: Polis vs Tenderlove = Polis Wishbone vs Cosmo = Cosmo Sparks vs Catch = Sparks Gumdrops vs Panther = Not super sure but I am going with Gumdrops Mars vs Tranquilizer = Mars Polis vs Gumdrops = Polis Amethyst vs Atlas = Atlas I think Sparks vs Cosmo = Sparks probably Mars vs Atlas = This could go either way but I am going with Mars. Polis vs Sparks = Polis Mars vs Polis = I am going to go with Polis on this one.

Another excellent episode. Great job everyone

"From Wales, It might be mistaking Ryu Kishin for a sheep-" I beg your pardon?

[@croga9581]

you heard correctly

[@tjgriffiths6856]

Would love a Mars vs Polis battle for the #1 seed 👀

[@BitzTeamHeatwave]

Yep

[@thericseascorpion5946]

Same!!

[@Jonnyonthespot123]

We might get Mars vs Polis in the finals! If not we'll have to wait for next year.

[@tjgriffiths6856]

@@Jonnyonthespot123 It’s a very real possibility, I see Polis in the finals, but Mars vs Atlas/Amethyst will be a difficult match, if they get through Tranquiliser

[@scottbennitt3528]

Calcifer was probably the surprise package going into the round of 16.

[@BitzTeamHeatwave]

WOOHOOOOOOOO GO POLIS

[@Jonnyonthespot123]

I love the history lesson, is there a way to watch these other tournaments? Or any other Garry's Wars tournaments I can watch? Searching Garry's Wars brings up a bunch of unrelated let's plays and doesn't give me the fights that I want to see!

[@TheRoboteer]

There's a Garry's Wars KZbin channel that was created recently that has some old comps uploaded to it (for me it was the first result when I searched Garry's Wars). Sadly though a lot of stuff is missing because the in the past only the largest comps tended to be recorded, but there's plenty of stuff on there to give you an idea of what things were like at the time.

[@croga9581]

Damn gwars lore is fascinating The first bots look exactly what you expect for the first robot combat tournament.

[@s11333]

Another great episode, personally I'm seeing a Polis vs Mars final at this point, but I live to be surprised

[@tjgriffiths6856]

Assuming they get through Tranquiliser, Mars has to get through Atlas or Amethyst, both of which will be difficult matchups for them I feel 👀 I believe Polis has an easier run to the finals, assuming they can defeat Tenderlove, of course

[@flowerballs_008]

“yeah what he said”

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

I feel like you guys should change the "aggression" spec to "reliability" and base it directly off of the robots win record along with how well it won those fights, and perhaps even how well it does at getting under other robots. I just feel that aggression is something that varies from fight to fight for almost every robot. You might drive much more cautiously against a certain bot while you go on full attack against another bot. Save for full body spinners (get away long enough to spin up) pretty much every robot will have a varying strategy against each robot they face. Idk, just one person's opinion on the matter. I like the other stats. Mobility accounts for speed, steering, and gyro, weapons & defense speaks for themselves.. but I feel like reliability would be much more accurate and informative than aggression. I hope this message finds you well. (:

[@croga9581]

all those stats are probably going to be replaced with definite things like weapon weight/speed and stuff

Haha, KZbin thinks this is Robot Arena 2.

Atlas Vs Amethyst is going to be amazing

[@hrishikeshbhat8581]

I feel bad for golden eye because they lost against sploodle 3x now.

[@Tylahisasomdud]

LET'S GO AMYTHEST (didn't finish the whole video)

[@ALloydRH]

I really want to see an IRL Amethyst one day.

[@teamgetwreckedcombatrobots776]

Honestly, I really do think a bot with Amethyst’s design could be competitive in real life. Literally ripping out the wheels from your opponent seems like one of the most simple ways to win.

[@ThyrusEvo]

Isn't crippling depression from robert Cowan similar to it?

[@TeamWhackjob-Official]
