FUMING FIGHT! | HYDRA vs WITCH DOCTOR | BattleBots

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

This was a fantastic fight where both robots took damage, kept working and lasted the three minutes. Can't ask for much more!

[@famebox8425]

I love the way how the witch doctor keep fighting till the end after those insane tosses and damages …

[@ugotama]

That bot is a voodoo zombi!

[@derjansan9564]

Did I just witness one of the best BattleBots matches ever?

[@christian1348]

Yes you did.

5:20 If you look closely, you can see some piece of a metal from Hydra fly into the top of Witch Doctor, then destroyed the weapon chain by accidentally get stuck and pass through the whole chain - sprocket system. What a millions of possibility, it was extremely unlucky match for Witch Doctor indeed.

[@Mr_Fr34ky]

Its equivalent to spitting blood in your opponents eyes. The Greek hydra was known for having toxic blood.

[@John仰望十架的栋栋]

Nah, from the replay, witch doctor lost one of its chain. The inability to move forward was the real bad luck for Hydra.

[@blazelarson6103]

He was getting smoked 2 minutes before that happened. Literally lol Witch took an L straight out of the gate

[@smithyblue]

This is how a main event should be, 3 minutes of Witch Doctor and Hydra just going at one another. I love Hydra, it shows that flippers are still relevant in a spinner heavy lineup.

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

Hydra's not the only one. Blip is proving quite the force in S6. Being hard as a rock and having a non-pneumatic flipper means it can just keep going and going.

[@smithyblue]

@@ConstantlyDamaged Fair enough I did forgot about Blip, but I’m from the UK and can’t watch the programme legally.

@@smithyblue I'm an Aussie here, and likewise. They don't give us non-US folk much of a chance, eh?

[@barongeisler00]

@@ConstantlyDamaged is Blip on hydraulics?

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

@@barongeisler00 No, it uses a flywheel (that it can spin up over and over) to give its flipper the energy it needs.

[@romxxii]

I really wish Jake the best, because outside of Ray Billings he's the only bot builder who's got the villain persona down pat. I guess the reigning champs can do it by virtue of winning all the time, but as Kiwis they're just not cocky enough.

[@yimmytjahjono6262]

Dangggg... I've never seen any battlebots robot fly that high before. Broncos never had that much success in its career. Hydra is indeed the best flipper robot EVERR!!

[@osorioavatargaming]

I think blip might be a close contender, they're doing amazing for their first year

[@piing-poong7650]

This fight is what I have waited for so long in this season. I go for Hydra because of their great performance. Thanks both teams for an amazing breathtaking fight.

[@chiragn8103]

Got to say without the upper deck there is so much space in the arena

[@ofidiotabagista5259]

Why do they have that upper deck?

[@stephenbradford6679]

Awesome bout. Witch Doctor's durability is immense 👌

[@dirkudo1075]

yeah that really changed in the last years! great props for them to increase their durability like that

[@Techpower888]

Awesome durability. That rib cage is super tough, and the self-righting mechanism is one of the best out there. I think Hydra fought better, but I still think Hydra had no real control at the end and should have been KO'd. Great match nonetheless!

[@breedzligerboy1984]

i don't know where did judge Jason get the idea of Witch Doctor winning that battle. it's very clear that Hydra dominated that one.

[@kawainessa]

ya but they almost got counted out they couldnt move for the last 30 seconds

[@EmberTheShark]

Hydra won fair and square. While Stuck on Something they still were able to move and they dominanted the fight

[@kilijshark7667]

One of the best matches of the season

[@AlmostEthical]

Hydra was unable to move for a lot more than ten seconds. It was stuck for most of the last 50 secs of the match. In the past judges have called knockout after the match for that reason.

[@eurasiaacaci.-110]

damage over movement

[@AlmostEthical]

I wouldn't have made it a judge's decision but a retrospective knockout. Hydra was stuck for about 50 secs, with just a few seconds of movement. That's knocked out.

[@clarkdaendels3370]

@@eurasiaacaci.-110 With that logic, captain shrederator should be the winner in almost every fight it had. Does that seem right to you?

[@1Peasant]

​@@clarkdaendels3370are they unable to move for 50 seconds in every fight they have? 🤔

[@stonefish98]

Hydra was incapable of controlled movement for SIXTY FULL SECONDS in a three minute match. and it didn't fire it's weapon to try and bounce itself off the alleged obstacle, so it seems it lost its primary weapon as well. Witch Doctor, on the other hand, had reduced weapon function, smoke from an unknown source, and full ability to move. Once it went to the judges, I can understand the call being hard to make, but that should never have happened. Hydra should have been given the boot by the referee long before the clock hit zero.

[@checovisky1419]

Wow.. Hydra It was a best fliper bot i ever see at this moment.. solid design with a very strong fliper

[@sammahasona]

Hydra was dominating the battle since the start. Nice work by both teams.

[@cesarmtodoido8850]

wow I just see this after watch hydra VS ribbot who was count down for 3 weels uncontrollable movement and so far I can say: that don't leave the results to the judges, or the countdowns guys. Ribbot could had won the fight if was not counted down and hydra could lost this one if the count down dude had continued. Pretty much u can lose by count down or not, if staff of battlebots want to.

[@Zack_Taylor]

absolute hydra favoritism from that ref.

[@AusSkiller]

Yeah a pretty stark contrast, though awkwardly and slowly Ribbot was still able to move laterally towards Hydra when Ribbot was counted out, but in this fight Hydra was barely moving laterally at all, let alone in a specific direction, and yet the count was stopped.

[@eurasiaacaci.-110]

Ribbot winning that? bruhh copping

[@chivirakmeth8879]

I want to see a rematch!

[@stuarthough8440]

so do i since witch doctor was robbed here he should have won

[@Baldthazar]

Hydra lost this fight imo, took some nasty hits from Witch Doctor and they lost control of their bot. The end of the fight was almost a full 60 seconds of Hydra trying and failing to move correctly, not sure how they weren't counted out.

[@alexfang2581]

Poor Witch Doctor got flipped too many times 😲 but survived till the end despite all the smoke 💪 A tough bot.

[@tonybaran1860]

What a fight 😬

[@miletech]

how tf could you score that in witchdoctors favor??? That judge should be sacked. They failed to disable for the duration of the countdown which means THEY DID NOT DISABLE HYDRA. AT ALL. They spent the rest of the match being completely subjugated by Hydra and did almost zero damage.

[@rfaelcarazo9945]

Best Fight of the season!!

[@D_y_s_o_n]

what counts as controlled movement in this fight and the ribbot vs hydra fight last night is so different

[@chpsilva]

Very balanced match, kudos to Witch Doctor for being able to flip back every time it was throw in the air. A very sturdy machine they have.

[@SethiozProject]

Hydra reminds me of old good Chaos 2 .. minus the control. Chaos 2 driver was one of the best for sure, he always had control over his bot. Ugh .. but Andrea from Witch Doctor is just so cute :3

[@LewisHamiltonMSPR]

But it's nothing like Chaos 2? Tall box vs low flat box; big tires vs small tires; wide flipping wedge vs thin, long flipping arm; mix of low armor metal and see through plastic vs fully enclosed armored metal... They don't even flip robots in the same manner. Chaos 2 would do just enough to flip a robot on to it's back whereas Hydra goes for tossing bots high, spinning in a random direction.

[@SINTD_666]

@@LewisHamiltonMSPR I don’t remember anyone saying Hydra LOOKS like Chaos 2. He said it reminds him of Chaos 2. In the same way that Razer reminds me of Petunia. Totally different robots in almost every way but reminiscent of each other. Why would you change the whole context of the comment anyway? Did you just want to be argumentative? Chaos 2 is over 20 years old. The technology available to amateur robot builders, and the power restrictions of pneumatic flippers imposed by Mentorn meant that George Francis wouldn’t have been allowed to build a flipper that could flip a robot the same way as Hydra.

[@LewisHamiltonMSPR]

@@SINTD_666 There's some irony in your comment about changing context and looking for an argument. Calm down, it's a simple disagreement because there is nothing similar about the two bots other than they're both classed as flippers. To me it's like saying Minotaur reminds one of Hypnodisc, when they only relation between them is a spinning weapon.

[@SINTD_666]

@@LewisHamiltonMSPR if one reminds you of the other for whatever reason then that’s fine. Your reaction to the other comment was to point out all the ways 2 robots were different even though the commenter said that one REMINDS him of the other. Yes there were differences, so what? Why pull him up on the comment. The smell of a candle going out reminds me of my first house in Surrey. There isn’t a single similarity between the two, but would you pull me up on that? No irony in my comment, I’m argumentative sometimes.

[@douglima8344]

Hydra dominated the fight and was easy the best bot in the arena, but witch doctor should have won because at the end hydra showed no controled movement. I know it is because something got stuck in the wheel, but that is a risk you take when you make a bot so low to the ground. I'm happy it is going forwards though. Their weapon makes than an underdog against all those powerful vertical spinners. One hit on the flipper and bye bye hydra
