Most destructive World Championship fight ever? Depth Charge v Knock Off White

Two gigantic weapons of cage destruction faced off early at the NHRL 2022 $1 Million World Championships with Depth Charge going up against Knock Off White and this fight did not disappoint. Robots parts sent flying everywhere, the obligatory Depth Charge cage damage and a vicious hammer blade firing at every opportunity.

Every time Depth Charge fights, the cage loses 😆

This fight is proof we need more walker vs walker matches.

Also, I love how even though this fight took place in the 30lb division, neither of these bots were 30 pounds.

While everyone was watching Depth charge, foam bot managed to score 84 hits on the mini bot. Mini bot was utterly helpless against the foam

Oh, Depth Charge is part of the same team as Deep Six and Triton? This team must really despise floors. Can’t wait for Triton’s debut panel destruction.

Depth Charge with a 50% kill rate against the box after that fight, Knock Off White displaying Terrorhurtz-esque motion with its weapon, and so many pieces littering the floor!

Just another day in the office for NHRL.

Triton, deep six, depth charge
I see a pattern in this team robots
90% weapon, 10% robot

This was an exciting sequel to Shatter! vs Deep Six. At least we didn't get knocked out this time!

The best part for me was the high-pitched squeal (and I couldn't tell if it was Luke or Chris) at 1:34 just as KOW climbed on top of Depth Charge knowing what was about to happen. That was everything. Can't wait to get back to Norwalk next year. Great tournament guys.

[WotDogLikeGo]

New watcher for this league, all I can say is I LOVE how terrified the announcers are every time depth charge fights

[amberkatanimations]

NHRL bot names are so funny to me. Like, you have Depth Charge and Sea Dragon's Roar, and then you've got Uh... Foot

[DarkestVampire]

I can't believe Depth Charge isn't banned after wrecking the Lexan AGAIN.

[peterreber]

If a bot has a 2 level horizontal disc has anyone ever used counter rotating discs to balance out the gyroscopic forces and so improve handling characteristics?

[VoltageTripwire]

Honestly, you guys need to Depth Charge proof the box a little more. I'd say add more lexan but it eats through that stuff like a fat man in a McDonalds. And I should know, I am that fat man.

[dandischinosvarietyhour]

By far the best Depth Charge has looked in a fight so far, at least to me

[DarkKnightofIT]

I love the chaos and destruction that Depth Charge causes, but kiiiinda dislike the lack of control it has.
If it had _some_ way of moving beyond *shuffles aggressively* and *I HAVE ACHIEVED FLIGHT* I'd like it a lot more.

[marian]

Everty other robot fights because it is what they live for, Depth Charge fights for its fucking life, that's the difference

[NortherlyUser]

Depth charge may have no control over movement, but it appears to have full control over the situation

[Twotwentytwoproductions]

I was next to the box when this happened. Shit was insane.

[Runix]

5:22 I see you've got a "you break it, you buy it" policy. I love it, very happy they got a souveneir.

Depth charge has about the same mobility as a vibrating Nokia, but the same damage output as an ICBM
