I love Ray's gleeful smile as he lands those ridiculous hits

[Callo_Arcwing]

Cobalt splitting ghost raptor in half might be the best hit of all time

[ToastGhost]

Subzero was a real trooper of the BattleBots field, sad to see it retired.

I can't even begin to imagine just how much money gets poured into these machines, all the hours and hours of hard work to build and repair on the fly. Not to mention the expense of the international teams just getting here, shipping these robots half way around the world to compete. And then to see your creation just getting torn to pieces in seconds. They know what they're letting themselves in for, but still, it must be heartbreaking.

The commentators Chris and Kenny had so much fun and were contagious. Great energy. I miss that in the newer seasons

[SethiozProject]

i think Carbide is the most destructive bot of all time. tombstone might pack the strongest punch, but it falls apart quite easily and most of the time just flies across the arena and punches itself, carbide didn't really have that issue.

[EngineerRiff]

I would’ve thought that Uppercut would show up on this list somewhere

[Bob-qssf]

Valkyrie vs Rotator best contest you can ever seen...

[ting_yat_K_kaden_wai]

You know what would've been awesome?
EVERY SINGLE battlebot that has won the most destructive robot award battles against each other.

[romangervaise]

Remember the Tombstone vs Minotaur match ? Boy...

[harryjones]

SOOOO much better than any human contact sports

[Hoch]

What about the fight of Minotaur where its opponent went up in flames?

[nmand]

I love Tombstone's trademark move: Shoot parts of destroyed robots to frighten the announcers.:D

[danpatterson]

I'd be interested to Razor trying to crush one of these bots, those motors are insanely powerful, but Razor is insanely strong and crushes with 9 tons of pressure

[nimda]

Офигенный бой Минотавра с шестиколесным 🎉🎉🎉

[ufsman]

I liked it when one of the bots took down a droid with a rake that was funny use of a rake lol😂

[eighty]

Those past Valkyrie clips show how disappointing it was under the new captain this season.

[Selatapey]

It’s funny how the small, flat, horizontally symmetrical bots tend to have the strongest hits

[RangerVVI]

The Hypno-Disc of the USA - Tombstone great in the early days but seem to struggle later down the line

[mindlessthought]

youtube is seriously annoying with the ads just when it gets exciting....
