Did You Know? Tombstone

[@rtqii]

Ray has a KZbin channel that is well worth watching. He has the broken spinning bar from the match with Witch Doctor, along with every other bar he has used in combat. He gives a deep dive into the steel and case hardening (he blamed the broken bar on the heat treating making the steel too brittle for combat). Well worth finding his channel as he has all the frames, everything, recorded.

[@BotFansUnited]

Awesome! Thanks so much! I'll check it out!

[@BotFansUnited]

Looks like I made an error in this video... that weapon is S7, not AR500... oops...

[@rtqii]

@@BotFansUnited @ray9368 - Ray Billings -- Yeah he has bars of two different materials, he has a couple of bars made of AR500, a couple of bars of tool steel which require the heat treating, and combination bars of AR500 with tool steel heads bolted on, this gives you the shatter resistance of AR500 with the hardness of tool steel able to cut through AR500 armor. He was talking about shortening the nose of the robot, and reducing the bar length and mass, to improve the stability and handling and increase the weapon speed.

@@BotFansUnited *Tombstone's weapon bar failures* - He showed the bar damage from the fight with Minotaur too. He has a second video with all of the bars on the table. Great channel with insides and details of the robot.

[@ShadowRush2112]

Witch Doctor has had 37 wins for ages now though.

[@BotFansUnited]

Yeah... I see that now as well... when I did my research for this video, I thought for sure it said 29... I'm a little confused at this point... sorry about this...

[@UnpatternedGarbage]

Ok, so I'm on the official BattleBots page, and it says WD has 29 wins, and Tombstone has 25, so it seems you're both wrong. Bite Force also has 24 wins, but that's in 10 less fights and 2/3 as many seasons as Tombstone.

Bite Force?

[@BotFansUnited]

@jonathanf2392 I know Clyde. Tombstone is his favorite Bot. That's why he said that. :)

[@thenewproper3uc]

sawblaze and witch doctor might beat tombstone soon if they dont keep the pressure up

[@BotFansUnited]

True

[@jonathanf2392]

Witch Doctor already beat tombstone in the 2019 Re-Mars

[@BotFansUnited]

@jonathanf2392 I think they were talking about surpassing Tombstone in total match wins, not in a specific fight. But yes, you are right. WD has indeed beaten Tombstone.

[@jonathanf2392]

@@BotFansUnited oh, yeah, you're right

[@Matyanson]

Wait, how can it have 33 wins if there are only 8 seasons of BB? Did I miss anything?

[@BotFansUnited]

Tombstone has been competing since 2004. The 8 current seasons only include the ABC and Discovery era of BattleBots. BattleBots used to be on Comedy Central. I think there's technically 14 seasons of BattleBots in total. Or maybe 13. I can't remember how many Comedy Central seasons there were.

Match wins vs Giant Nuts

[@BotFansUnited]

@Baltimorehackerspace true! I guess I should have been more specific that I was talking about Match wins, not tournament wins... oops!

[@Matyanson]

@@BotFansUnited oh, I wonder how many nuts have Tombstone won. It has to be a lot considering the match wins!

[@BotFansUnited]

@Matyanson technically, Tombstone has only won 1 Giant Nut. But he does have 2 championship wins. One of them was back in 2004 at a charity event. But I'm not sure what the trophy was for that tournament.

[@RhiboNuclicAcidゅ]

How 'bout Minotaur?

[@BotFansUnited]

Great question! I love Minotaur! He currently has 26 career match wins. :)

[@BotFansUnited]

@@jonathanf2392 not sure. I got my info from the BattleBots Wiki page.

[@jonathanf2392]

@@BotFansUnited you can never rely on the wiki sometimes. For example they said Bronco will be returning to s6, and guess what? He never did, sad :,(

[@BotFansUnited]

According to the BattleBots wiki site, Witch Doctor is now the most match winning Bot of all time! They have a total of 37! Sorry everyone!

[@CannedSupernova]

what bot is the most losing?

[@BotFansUnited]

Interesting question. I did a little research, and it looks like Kraken might have the most losses. It's record is 6 wins and 23 losses.

[@CannedSupernova]

@@BotFansUnited really? I thought it would be free shipping or something. i was expecting Kraken to be around 500. Thanks for responding!

how much does biteforce have?
