I am completely shocked by how TOUGH project liftoff is. It's impressive tech, but being able to take those hits and not flinch is impressive.

[@Valchrist1313]

and still keeping control after all that. Most of that type can barely drive toward the opponent when fresh.

[@thorwaldjohanson2526]

That was the most impressive fight I have ever seen. The battle hardening of that bot is insane. Taking that many hits, being launched all over. Truly impressive. First full body spinner I see that is actually durable!

[@jamesragsdale3069]

@@thorwaldjohanson2526 There's a couple sizes of it now. And out there absolutely slamming.

[@Leto_0]

Maybe this is a problem with smaller weight classes and improving material sciences. We seem to have already reached max dmg output but the durability will keep going up. The smaller the bot, the harder to produce enough dmg, buy a smaller size doesn't reduce durability of the material

[@jamesragsdale3069]

@@Leto_0there's answers. A good clamp could grab then and them down and do whatever. But you gotta be tough enough to even try that.

[@NoTengoIdeaGuey]

Since lift off has the high speed spin every time it gets hit it goes straight upwards because it's stabilized by the gyroscopic effect. Most other bots would probably go flipping and arc away from the hit, while these guys absorb all the energy and take it straight up vertically.

[@baalfgames5318]

I feel like Melty-Brain spinners have a few advantages over other full-body spinners. They have an easier time driving, and are usually able to drive upside down. Plus, less parts needed to hold them together allows melty-brain spinners to be more stable. The one downside to MBSs over other FBS, though, is that they can't drive will spinning, nor can they spin while driving, unlike other FBSs. In a way, MBSs are kind of a combination between FBSs and horizontal thwack-bots like Blade Runner or Gold Digger. Honestly, though, I'm kinda surprised Battlebots doesn't have any MBSs. Right now, there's only two FBSs, but neither are melty-brains.

[@Cyromantik]

​@@baalfgames5318 That's a pretty good insight! Also I didn't know about the specific nomenclature so it was educational too!

[@baalfgames5318]

@@Cyromantik There's also Ring Spinners, which are kind of a combination of FBS and MBS that have most of the advantages MBSs have over FBSs except for durability.

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

Simplified: the energy from a full body spinner is being transferred to a stable object, being the robots chassis, where in a melty brain, all of the entire body's momentum is going in the same direction, so there's no transfer of energy back into itself. Kind of the same concept between a spinner with a 250mph tip speed vs 175mph - you transfer the entirety of the energy from your weapon to the other bot, rather than transferring most of it, and also a significant portion into your own bot. For example: you have 100 bits of energy generated from your 100 mph tip speed, right? So you think going up to 200 would make 200 bits of energy - and it does, but instead of doing 200 bits of damage to your opponent, you do the same 100 bits of damage to them, and are doing 100 bits of damage to yourself, because the energy transfer is so great. That's a loose example, though.. and this comment is no longer simplified.

[@nicboone8277]

Hence the name. I wanna join in one of these battles.

[@raybrubacher8614]

Based on Eruption losing one drive side and project liftoff not having any noticeable damage I would have to give it to project lift off. It is also amazing how much project liftoff has improved in the last few years. The speed at which it can regain control and spin up after those big hits is astounding.

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Hard call. Eruption controlled most of the battle , except for when that stupid boring wedge got involved. I hate those wedges

[@wristofkings]

The sheer violence of any Project Liftoff fight makes it one of my favorites to watch.

[@conroconro]

Project Lift Off is the reason I started getting into NHRL. Awesome bot :D

[@mikewinsdaly]

Can't wait to see their battlebots submission, I'm a major melty brain fan.

[@kBIT01]

@mikewinsdaly meltybrains are not allowed in battlebots. They are too dangerous to the battlebox.

[@mikewinsdaly]

@@kBIT01 Technically the active weapon rule is the reason they currently can't compete, once a fully functional 250lb melty brain is submitted, I believe they'd allow it.

[@kBIT01]

@mikewinsdaly Actually, they violate the weapon mass limit. The same limit that is imposed so they don't go through the side of the box.

[@mikewinsdaly]

@@kBIT01 but then any and all current 2 wheel bots could spin in a circle and violate that rule. It's always been the active weapon rule. Either way, the rules would have to change to allow melty brains.

[@Kriiispy]

That perfectly level jump at 1:46 is so safistfying

[@dandischinosvarietyhour1655]

This version we've seen of liftoff since September is amazing as a fan, and terrifying as a competitor. Cant wait to see it next year!

[@davidmorgan6197]

Just out of curiosity, how many lights do you guys have left?

[@iwsfg]

time to shield the lights with plexiglass as well

[@razer259]

Every time these two fight, we are treated with a LOT of airtime!

[@NeonDeion109]

"Ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between" 😂😂😂

[@wishusknight3009]

Who won? seems strange to not have that in the video?

[@AllanJTaylor]

Project Liftoff

[@dosmastrify]

​@@AllanJTaylorthank you

[@dippyfresh1116]

I believe in the melty supremacy

[@BigFatWedge]

Will still lose it 4WD verts, only got the upper hand here because Eruption couldn't take a few more hits. Lynx shows what happens when that doesn't happen. flying saucer time off 3 mins.

[@Talkshowhost23]

Project LightsOFF

[@acemcwolf5445]

Man, The Netflix adaptation of Beyblade's taking some liberties.

[@BladeLigerV]

I have to give more points to Liftoff. It took so many hits and vame back like it was a pat on the back. There is agression, and then there is just being so stinking intimidating that the other bot stays away.

[@RS14988]

This was basically my first time seeing the actual concept of a melty brain and I always look out for Project Liftoff fights. It looks deceptively simple in construction, though I have learned just how much it takes to get a melty brain working properly, so full kudos to the team on that.

[@HectorMartinez-xv4re]

Project Liftoff inspires me to start a Beyblade style robot fighting league lol

[@smnio5619]

Liftoff & Depth Charge vs the arena. 5 minutes to escape

[@drobot5779]

It doesn't matter who won, the cage lost.

[@456gt59]

I loved that fight too! eruption is sick !

[@Thrillrider10]

Project Liftoff really wanted to live up to its name, didn't it?

[@bjones8470]

Really enjoy these smaller bots. So much action!!! Would really like to see a brief description of the bots featured in the clip and the weapons they use.

[@fluffyninja6380]

Imagine these bots scaled up too Depth Charge's weight class. And then the three of them in a three-way match.

[@lev_n]

I the cage will be absoloutely destroyed if that happens 💀

[@heartofdawnlight]

DMG - PJL (eruption gave all noticeable dmage) CTL - PJL (both with mini bot, and eruption getting hung up on arena damage, they were able to capitalize most of the time) AGR - IDK split? eruption had more succesful agro early on, and liftoff mostly took over in the later half once eruption had drive issues that made it more difficult for them to engage)

[@BigFatWedge]

Control goes to PL? Were you not watching when Eruption got all those hits? Aggression also definitely goes to Eruption, as PL mostly hesitated to hit when it had the chance.

[@heartofdawnlight]

@@BigFatWedge okay so for control, PJL got a number of pins via, their minibot, and even managed to get eruption stuck on environmental hazards that were broken light fixtures.... eruption only had control of PJL for a few seconds, and after that they were trying to get their footing back which they couldnt do before half thier drive was shot and it got further from their favor. & a thing to think about is (at least im pretty sure) pinning and waiting to attack isnt a negative for agression.... not a positive either until they hit, but bots shouldnt lose agro cause they succeed a pin, if thats what theyre made to do (which the minibot was)..... But also PJL is a melty brain, sometimes the movement just looks hesitant when youre trying to get it to move in a particular way

[@toxicavenger7073]

If these things ever become sentient we are Screwed!

[@Evaporous]

Literally a beyblade battle

[@ALloydRH]

Fight of the tournament right here.

[@BigFatWedge]

This fight reminds me of when Homer Simpson got into boxing. He just let his opponent punch him until they got tired, and then he would punch them once, and they would go down.

[@Moppemannen_mattias]

I can't understand why they have the lights inside the box.....

[@DeltaRobotics]

Eruption and Project LiftOff are awesome Please do a You Be the Judge for Nubert vs. BotCat, that was a fight I was in and it was really close. You don’t have to, just a suggestion.

[@SlickGokuBaby]

Sometimes you gotta fight in the shade.

[@RAMelloh-ij5sl]

Great battle.

[@Dubstepper]

Liftoff did great

[@metha9987]

That bot sure lives up to its name 😅

[@thegoldenaegis]

They turned topmaniac into a real thing lol

Bro Built the De-Shin-Tegrator

[@Freyafanboy90]

Well it's no Hypnodisk but Project Lift-off was impressive.

Lights out

All i have to say is let it rip

FHA thing is cruising. !!!! Holy fuckkkk

I would say eruption wins

WOOOO THRY STE DUCKEDDD

It's lights out! If you wanna you can check my stats It's lights out! Make way cause the kings is back

Their just destroying the ring

[@Cyber_Chriis]

Who won?

[@LiamM3526]

Does anyone know what I can watch this on tv?

[@NHRL]

There’s a livestream right now on our KZbin

[@whatwhat9589]

Though fight

[@jordanlloyd5421]

who the hell won that?

[@purpleYamask]

Calling PL a Beyblade is a disservice. Beyblades are toys. This things a damn weapon.

[@jaspermeyers8500]

Lose the mini bots

[@chapmanandchapmanproductio974]

FUCKKK YEAAAA MINI BOTTT BOIIIIII

[@kBIT01]

Liftoff won by using the box.

[@QAZ-OMEN]

I really hate those wedges. They made this awesome fight quite boring

[@swaruptembhare3007]

I say Eruption is clear winner. As I can see that minibox only followed Eruption. Also damage done by both is great but project liftoff just spinning around while Eruption is fighting whatever is the result. So in my opinion Eruption is clear winner

[@henryatkinson1479]

These matches really just demonstrate why you need to stop allowing these weaponless doorstop minibots.

[@GetHypedandShocked]

Why?

[@Herbile7]

I am also very curious as to the reasoning.

[@KekusMagnus]

I can't help but feel like building an RC beyblade goes against the spirit of the rules

[@GetHypedandShocked]

How?

[@gwentarinokripperinolkjdsf683]

Literally how. It's a robot, and it fights

[@uncleshark1103]

Use of a mini bot is an admission of a poorly designed primary bot.

[@tymz-r-achangin]

So youre not even going to show who won. You earned a thumbs down

[@XMetalMatter]

Who won?
