In this matchup, Blacksmith's overbuilt design was its own downfall, while Minotaur's tick-like flat profile was the perfect design/engineering counter-measure to render Blacksmith's weapon largely ineffective. Sure, it got its blows in here and there but inflicting little, if any, noticeable damage that was more than cosmetic in nature -- all while Minotaur went to work gradually deconstructing it, bit by bit.

[@aMondayMorning]

@@topbanana4013 No, actually. Robot Wars has two main differences that change the entire feel of the show. First of them being that Robot Wars imposes a pretty crippling weight limit onto the competitors, which I am lead to assume this was only done because they can't be fucked to actually fix/repair damage done to their arena/house bots. Which brings me to my next point, the traps and the house bots in the arena. They interfere way too much with the fight, and sometimes are determining factors in the fight, completely outside of the competitor's control. For a show that is supposed to be all about gladiatorial combat, that is absolutely unacceptable. The hazards in the arena should be there SOLELY to be used by the competitors to damage/take out their opponent. Robot Wars spoils any and all sense of competition with their arena and house bots. Also Carbide is the Tombstone of Robot Wars, and is by far the best bot in the series. Like, why do they even let him into the arena if he's just gunna- oh wait that's right he got assblasted on Battlebots so he moved to Robot Wars so he can eviscerate the dense population of ineffective flipperbots.

@@aMondayMorning The battlebots weight limit is 250lbs whereas robot wars is 110kg, as 1 kilo is about 2.2 pounds the robot wars weight limit is actually 243lbs, which isn't too different to battlebots Having said that the pit and the house robots do change the feel of the show a lot, but I like both of the different approaches

[@FoxPopvli]

The guy's face at 2:50 is priceless! :D Anyway Minotaur is a good robot. It's small and fast and its drum is one of the best weapons ever because it's a one-piece weapon, it's not too exposed to an enemy's attack and, being very heavy, it exploits the inertia it takes while it rolls, and that makes its attacks very dangerous. The weakness is the low reliability (2 wheels only)... but afterall every robot has some weakness

[@h0m3st4r]

Perhaps Minotaur's greatest weakness is its puny reach, a common problem with Lightning Bruisers in just about any competition.

[@ianpartrick8347]

Minotaur is tough as fuck, too It got hammered a ton and didn't give half a fuck

[@FoxPopvli]

+h0m3st4r true true... actually the biggest weak is not the reach... but the weapon itself... when it spins at High RPM the drum acts as a gyroscope and makes minotaur hard to manage.... on the other side, it doesn't care at all if it gets flipped!

[@FoxPopvli]

+Ian Partrick (TwisTed R3V3NG3) that's also because blacksmith's hammer was quite light (look at the way it bounces when it breaks up)

[@ianpartrick8347]

That’s because the original version on Comedy Central did it right with multiple weight classes and enough entries to be worthy of running as long as it did, and it should have lasted a lot longer. The ABC remake, by comparison, is a travesty and borderline unwatchable for us purists. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never seen a decisive finisher Ike that before or since, though.

Robot fighting often has joke robots. people want to play and they know they can't win so they try to have fun and make it interesting. If I had to build something right now with my resources and fight Blacksmith my stuff would get crushed so I would try to make it as ridiculous as possible. Maybe a wet beanbag on a $20 R/C car with a pointy stick. Bring it, Blacksmith. They would make me cover the pointy sick for safety.

[@halkitchen1838]

What makes this arguably the best fight in Battlebots history is pacing. It starts off slow and it even looks like Blacksmith has the upper hand at first, but Minotaur just slowly gains more an more momentum throughout and each time you think you’ve seen the hit of the match, there’s an even bigger one that comes along. Amazing that the ref doesn’t even bother with a ten count either, just immediately calls it, don’t think I’ve seen that anywhere else.
