Shock Damage! Whiplash vs Monsoon | Battlebots | Discovery

This is what should have been battle of the week last episode. Such a good fight

[iDontGiveaFett]

The REAL Fight of the Week right here! 🔥🔥🔥

[BenHeckHacks]

I love how the Youtube "Most rewatched" heat map tells you exactly where to fast-forward to :)

2nd best main event so far, very close decision too. Funny how when monsoon appealed, it changed from split to unanimous for whiplash, totally backfired

[jvsonyt]

Dude said "Beautiful Las Vegas" lmao has he been outside?

[rccc]

This should be an instant do-over. I don't even know or care who got designated winner, it just wasn't decided in any way.
Secundo, Whiplash "preserving" the spinner for the last half a minute warrant a big loss on aggression points.

[TheCulturedMan]

Good fight that could've went either way

[evernewb]

honestly? whiplash has never been the best bot, while I don't usually like repeating taglines the thing that has made whiplash good really has always been Matt's driving: he's just that tiny bit faster to reassess to regain control to respond and to come up with a plan and he's one of the most natural people there when it comes to intuitively working out how things are going to interact between the bots. being able to know what is going to happen as a result of your actions is obviously important for both information flow and for what actions you can take and being that _little_ bit faster to get back to doing what you want to be doing is incredibly important in _any_ competition with mutual interference let alone something like a bot fight where almost every interaction changes how everything works, Biteforce being designed specifically for this was what made Biteforce so utterly terrifying to go up against and being good at it is what makes all of the best bots and/or teams in the field the best bots and/or teams in the field. it sounds dumb and videogamey but all of this together _actually does_ mean that with Matt driving Whiplash the bot is functionally faster more likely to win groundgame a touch more resistant to damage and just generally a tiny bit better in almost every way.

whiplash isn't getting worse, the other drivers are just finally getting more competent in general, he's still _absurdly_ good at this but the margin of advantage that affords is narrowing.

How come there is no new episode on the discovery app this week???

[OreadNYC]

I'm glad that the dude with the mohawk is back on Team Monsoon.

[buddyy]

[ThatOpalGuy]

[barlowanimations]

monsoon won. Other than that one pulverizer shot all whiplash did was drive forward and eat shots.

[studious_yt]

I just realized, either way, tantrum or whiplash is going one and threee

[trentvlak]

Easily a draw. Excellent fight from two top tier bots and drivers.

[SethiozProject]

monsoon got robbed. monsoon is one of the most unique designs i've seen, but its biggest vulnerability is the angled sides. they need to mount forks on both sides, so instead of deflecting the enemy bot, it would pull it straight into the spinner.
similar to what sawblaze has, but they'd need forks that would work both ways. if it gets flipped, then forks would be same.

hard to explain, but i have perfect design done in my head already. with this design enemies wouldn't be able to push it around so easily. monsoon only has very small angle where it can hit

[robertk]

Two bots enter one bot leaves. Thems the rules

Ladies & gentlemen the 3 judges at arenaside have turned in a 25-20 decision for the red square, WHIPLASH!
