Battlebots Season 5: Episode 6: MADCATTER Vs MALICE

[@komnishura]

Malice shouldn't had their spinner running because of gyro effects holding it up in balance...

[@brokenchalk1607]

The weapon is so heavy it takes MUCH more than 10 seconds for it to stop spinning

[@michaeltyomin2128]

@@brokenchalk1607 They had like a minute at least

[@michaeltyomin2128]

Very smart observation. But I think in the heat of the moment they didn't think about it.

[@komnishura]

@@michaeltyomin2128 yeah, its easy to drive the bots here on yt 😊

[@pinecone606]

I think it's the opposite - the gyro agitates the robot enough that it had any chance of falling over. If the spinner wasn't spinning it wouldn't even be wiggling back and forth; just spinning drive wheels wouldn't be enough to make it move at all.

[@Chris_Prime]

Every Battlebot should have a built in monkey that hops out and self rights it when needed.

[@kdrgaming3344]

Maybe we should just put armor on monkey and give them weapons and have them fight it out.

[@HarryBalzak]

I love the team reaction to the mini bot getting the DOT attack in.

[@AndrewVelonis]

That was smart on the part of Mad Catter. If they hit, they'd be taking the chance that Malice could have a come back

[@gr81_gr81]

Lol jesus

[@Asertix357]

Gassy Cat getting in there to set Malice on fire while he was stuck on its back was positively malicious.

[@alol1551]

Man I thought that was my phone

[@adamx1220]

One of Madcatter's builders said they knocked Malice back over after the fight with their little paw. I wish Battlebots showed it.

[@tishetizzy]

Just a thought. The flywheel could be acting as a gyroscope, try rocking with it stopped?

[@wishusknight3009]

That thing will spin for a good 60 seconds after its turned off.

[@kdrgaming3344]

Correct. This is why balancing on a moving bike is so easy.

[@thelatiosmaster]

a round back: that's all what malice needed there

[@journeydoghusky]

0:11 "Stand Up!!!" Yelled Mad Catter. 0:15 "You're spot on, Kenny Florian!!!" I added 0:29 "Are you gonna get me back on two wheels or not???!!!" Whined Malice But at 0:52 "No!!! But thank you for asking!!!" (Quote courtesy of Dr. Robotnik from the first trailer to Sonic the Hedgehog movie) Mad Catter said rudely.

[@aznravechild6i9]

The design flaw makes the win even funnier.

[@JonatasAdoM]

A technical knockout.

[@WalkerRileyMC]

Meh.....these are the ones I hate....Yea I know, it's about winning...but more than that it's about putting on a great show and Mad Catter did not.

[@ryanbarker5217]

some people would say it's sportsmanlike to help a stuck bot so the fight continues. i get that, and i wouldn't argue it, but imo take the win if you can while not damaging your bot and risking a loss. plus, these things aren't cheap or necessarily easy to repair serious damage.

[@michaelnadler596]

How hard is it to design your bot so it will tip over if it gets on a side?

[@robinsimon4176]

depends. You have a weight limit for a bot obviously, so if you reach it with your current design, its a designflaw you cant do much abt. Besides that, there are a lot of bots with eg flippers that help adjusting. Or you just build your bot in a way that it can drive no matter if its upside down and in a way that it cant really stay in a position where it cant move. So not hard per se, but hard to do within the weight, time and financial limits

[@michaelnadler596]

@@robinsimon4176I'm not talking about flipping over if the robot is upside down; I'm talking about it not getting stuck on a side. You don't need a flipper for that, you just need a side that isn't flat, or at least where the robot isn't balanced.

[@dippyfresh1116]

Ah yes, the thing

[@ku8721]

Hmm a simple piece of angle steel on the back of Malice would've prevented this

[@conradfrancis4662]

It wouldn't even need to be steel it could be plastic

[@ku8721]

@@conradfrancis4662 Yes but two small say 3 inch wide pieces of steel won't add much weight and could withstand a hit better. And for bonus points sharpen them to an edge and use them as spikes if your primary weapon goes down!

[@hasbruh2987]

@@ku8721 all they would need is a tiny spike

[@radon360]

Not completely sure that it would. The gyroscopic effect was doing a good job of holding it upright, and a wedge on the back would lift the wheels off of the ground. Addition or not, the answer is stopping the weapon from spinning first.

[@phantominway]

They added it in s6

[@denisuya]

It would be fun if they push it after countdown ends.

[@mikedski9698]

Malice:. Mad Catter, you kicked me out! Mad Catter:. Go back to the Rabbithole! You can't stop me! I'm The Mad Catter Of Wonderland! Who's going to stop me? Tombstone:. Me! I'm your worst nightmare Mad Catter! I'm the Grim Reaper, The King Of Kinetic Energy, I am Tombstone! Mad Catter: Oh no! NO!!!

[@Noobish_Camper55]

In the future they just need a single bolt hanging out a couple inches on the back and they would be good to go

[@Theprophet3928]

A WIN FOR A HAMMER Knocked them out without having to use the hammer

[@tsitracommunications2884]

What a dirty trick. Foul on catter

[@Umadbro681]

If only he would'nt have made the back end square.

[@alandao2524]

Mad Catter is op

[@ZZZGGGLLLAAAHHH]

MadCatter did the smart thing. Just take the easy KO without incurring any damage or wear.

*Weeble Wobble*

[@rolliseventeen]

too fast stick moves, otherwise it would have flipped back to flat.

[@sometimesleela5947]

yup, poor guy must not have grown up in a snowy climate where you occasionally have to rock a car out of a rut.

[@asdfguy76]

People saying that Madcatter Did a Bronco

[@zedlav915]

Yes

[@PRSonic945]

This fight is similar to bronco vs Razorback

[@2097Pyros]

@@PRSonic945 You can go all the way back to Surgeon General vs. Hexidecimator for fun like this. But unlike Malice, Surgeon General succeeded in tipping itself back over. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZuYo5KHhJujq6c It helps that Surgeon General's blade was off-center from the body (Malice's disk is perfectly aligned and centered with the chassis, so they couldn't tip themselves back over).

[@PRSonic945]

@@2097Pyros I’m guessing rotator’s new one-blade design was based on surgeon general

[@calcaware]

No fun. I would have pushed them over in a gesture of good sportsmanship. Then promptly lost.

[@saranino5732]

Such a pathetic way to get K.O.ed

[@Bdub1952]

I think we uncovered a design flaw.

[@kojackhorsemann]

Surgeon General that robot is not.

[@Luke-io6fv]

If Malice stopped spinning it’s weapon than it would of self-righted.

[@lordshadownwolf8710]

Malice: Welp... Fu₡#

[@Julia_and_the_City]

Aw come on, that's lame. Booo, shoulda knocked them back on their feet rather than use the dinky flamethrower to hand out little slaps. Sportmanship and showsmanship is part of the game.

[@danz107]

They waited nearly forty seconds to start a countdown for an obvious knockout. I guess a fifteen seconds fight wasn't long enough.

[@СергейГалимзянов-ю8ф]

Вумен момент Не додумалась просто вырубить спиннер и стабилизироваться

[@garryoak]

Boooooo

[@FJX716]

I can’t stand malice. Her whole team with their fruity costumes and fake intensity annoys me.
