[@stickempires2608]

@@aerotus888 pretty sure it was a joke. I don't follow battlebots too much but what I believe happed is it was stuck under some kind of plating or something. Either that or the signal to lift just wasn't going through. Looks like after something was knocked off it was able to lift again. Would of had a chance to flip it over and win if that was working properly.

This was a winnable fight for Subzero...if it had worked.

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

What makes Shatter so great is not actually just the hammer. Yes, it hits fast, hard, and cycles quickly like a good hammer weapon should, but Shatter’s drive is what makes that weapon so incredibly deadly. Being able to side-strafe is a rare and powerful ability that very few bots have, and it gives the driver SO many options for maneuvering that other bots simply cannot respond to in time.

[@alexgeorge1028]

TBF, Sub-Zero could have won this, if not should have. It's flipper obviously wasn't working well. Not to take anything away from Shatter brilliant performance by them and always good to see a hammer doing well but if Sub-Zero was working properly I reckon it would have won.

[@BatesLDG]

Hammer bots need exceptional designs and top tier drivers to go toe to toe with nearly every other bot design. Shatter and Beta are the only 2 hammer bots that can be dangerous to any other bot. Hammersmith is awesome but only because it is the most durable bot. Ragnarok, Chomp, and others will never be contenders. Launch bots like Sub need to get 1-2 launches in ASAP against better drivers to hopefully disable their weapons, otherwise fights like this happen, and powerful launch bots like Sub Zero or Bronco can end fights in seconds with ring outs.

[@derrickhageman1969]

However due to the nature of omni wheels shatter can't shove bots which is pretty much the only weaknesse of shatter

[@aquariandawn4750]

@@alexgeorge1028 but "if" doesn't matter. We face the consequences of what is, not what could have been.

I wonder what a bot with this maneuverability and a horizontal spinner like tombstone's could do. Hammers are the weakest/most difficult weapons and it still is an amazing bot. Imagine if it could drive around other bots while pointing the spinner at them at all times.

[@browerkyle]

Shatter being able to strafe an opponent and sidestep out of a grapple I think is key to a lot of their strategy. Watching Shatter drive is awesome.

[@d.aardent9382]

Shatter! is my favorite bot by far. Doubled with how unique they are, they’re so aggressive, and that hammer is just so quick. Seriously. Their aggression, coupled with their omni-wheels, make Shatter! a nightmare to flank. When they’re lined up, don’t hit once. They throw dozens of blows, nearly all of them haymakers. Just goes to show that underneath all that glam and glitter, Shatter! is a true brawler.

[@browerkyle]

The omniwheels let them strafe while keeping the weapon pointed. The fact thhey can slip sideways out of a grapple and reverse it into a strike I think is often underappreciated. I think many designs would be improved if you could add something similar.

[@WizardofTruth]

shatter is the only hammer bot i even like. i find the weapon type boring usually bt they are the best at it. and at least they aren't beta

[@Zuignap]

They used to be very very defensive, this fight was a whole different playstyle and it worked for them, also more fun to watch. Turning on that bot still looks awkward though, they can't precisely line up the other bot because of their floaty wheels and turning it is pretty slow

[@krismadymatt7751]

@@Zuignap fair. It almost looked like they were dialing in the drive of Shatter! Could be a new drive that felt different from the previous. It’d explain why they’re so wonky (and even left themselves vulnerable a couple times).

Man shatter is literally the best hammer bot. Its doesn't almost yeet itself when it fires its hammer, has staffing movement, and the hammer ACTUALLY DOES DAMAGE, not even the pulveriser does that serious damage to most bots.

[@benjaminh.5690]

Just because you don't see the damage doesn't mean it's not happening. A lot of the damage most hammer bots try to do is internal, aiming to destroy the somewhat more frail electronics inside through the impact of the hammer.

[@George_M_]

Shatter was a bit too proud considering how many times they'd have flipped if Subzero's flipper was working. Though it was a good win for them. Wish Beta last year had Shatter's willingness to swing lol

[@alexv3375]

Just so you know man, it was less a "willingness to swing" and more a massive design flaw with that version of Beta. Because of the floor-sticking magnet system (to stop it jumping whenever it fired the hammer and to maximise the force it hit with), it literally _couldn't_ fire the hammer while moving. That's basically the main reason why it only fired when the other bots were pinned in place.

[@w00llee14]

"Willingness to swing" = Fighting intelligently When an axebot is up against a spinner its best to let the tough front wedge do the talking instead of swinging the axe and being left open to an attack.

@@jonathanf2392 Dude I never said subzero is better than bronco. They clearly aren't even the same tier. Bronco in the current meta is still an A tier robot who suffered from bad luck(free shipping and rotator are opponents they should have beaten) while subzero is a C tier bot who succeeds of easy opponents and good luck, especially in the bounty tournament. If it is possible I wish bronco would return in top condition and reclaim their title as the best flipper bot. Plus I mentioned that I admit I was wrong. I was really sleepy while making the first comment.

SubZero this entire round: 🗿

[@Stoate]

always root for hammer bots and shatter! is a particularly badass one

[@MJY5drives]

I love how the flipper starts working right before the round ends 😂

[@frankschwartz7405]

Oh yeah. That "bun" makes him look absolutely fabulous.

[@oozecombatrobots2682]

Shatter is always a treat to see!

[@BotsFC]

Great fight :) Check out our profile for a post-fight breakdown video (we're the builders of Shatter)

[@AkshatGulati24]

Great to see the damages so close and post match analysis. Hope every team share these insights. PS - @Battlebots should pin this comment.

[@pepperface2]

I'll check it out thank you!

[@2097Pyros]

Shatter's reminding me of Deadblow, with how fast that hammer is now. AND I LIKE IT

[@attackrobotics7009]

Use your giant anime sword.

[@Savanna_WCUE]

Making my prediction now: Shatter in the finals.

[@kelk4624]

Love it! It would be nice if you included the interview after the fight.

[@scottsowers7982]

The angry face in the end, GREAT !

Subzero's driver saying "it works now" after the timer went out is awfully relatable to most people who have competed in any robotics tournament
