Ray took it like a champ, almost laughing at the insanity of what just happened. Noone could have expected the weapon to break like this, also taking the wheel with it. That hit was crazy.

[beepboop]

It’s as Einstein once said “To go up against Bite Force and expect to win is the definition of insanity”

[andymanaus]

It looks like Tombstone took out its own wheel with the detached blade. I can't see any other explanation for how the wheel detached like that.

To see Bite Force shaping up in 2018 against Hyper Shock which, on paper, stood a chance, only to see it eviscerated after two hits just shows that Bite Force is STILL a top contender!

I didn't expect that.... Congrats and Respect to Bite Force.

[vortexspinner]

I love Battlebots. Biteforce is a beast.. Tombstone reminds me of Hypnodisc..
I really miss "Robot Wars" with Craig Charles.. "ACTIVATE!!"

Billings trying to control his machine when it's in the process of sh!tting the bed.

[Retrosicotte]

Bite Force winning is never really an upset, lol

[TheSuperPlayer]

After looking at the slowcam several times I've realized that Bite Force hit directly to the blade, so the hit made it "bent", but because we're talking about S7 steel it doesn't bents, it just get shattered.

[FlowPlusNRG]

Now this bot can decorate it's own grave. 😂

[TheInvertedFollicle]

The problem here (besides Bite Force being the champ, Tombstone was the winner of the giant nut in 2016 so the video total is wrong) is that S7 in a weapon blade is good for digging in and taking big chunks outta armor steel but bad cos got that hardness you pay a price in the material being quite brittle and breaking apart as we see here.

Storm 2 would be proud of bite force, what a tough machine.

[Tigers_n_Guns]

similar things have happened with son of whyachi. just the power of the weapon can either destroy the enemy robot or itself within seconds

[EngineerRiff]

Just to check, which world championship did this came from?

[david.cutipa]

This is pretty much a showcase battle of an old generation bot vs a contemporary bot and it really shows why the modern ones prevailed. Big, chunky weapon bot vs a compact, faster bot. Now with the last championship we're probably heading towards complex and unconventional bots.

[oohhhhh]

Why do they still insist on a countdown instead of allowing the KO?

[deaneficks]

а ты можешь сделать окуп в каждой игре? или вот чтонибудь подобное?

[ruubvegamx]

"Do you want more?"
---jajajajajaja

[MasterPro-ucvb]

now Tombstone has two enemies: Bite Force and Rotator

speaking of Rotator:
What do you think will happen in the Bite force vs Rotator fight??? if Rotator was able to destroy Ice Wave and Tombstone, could he destroy Bite Force?

[morganlefevre]

biteforce did a really high lucky shoot right here, really bad that append at the first hit
