Huge Upset! Tombstone Vs. Scorpios | BattleBots

[Sprier]

Probably one of tombstones biggest flaws is not being able to handle the impacts from its own weapon on enemy bots with enough armour or strength in general to keep taking the hits. Always smokes the weak bots but these longer fights seem to put the tombstone over tombstone!

[Netherwolf]

I seriously want Battlebots to make a videogame for the current Gen. It would be really cool to play with these bots and build your own too to battle with.

[a.p.studios]

I swear ray billings should do some update to tombstone’s wheels- this is probably the bajillionth time they flew off in a battlebots fight recently

[orcastrike]

This was definitely Ray’s sign to iterate on Tombstone’s design a bit. He got the formula right, but eventually so did other competitors, and his lack of further development beyond his one big gun eventually caught up to him

[andramarquardt]

"If you've got one giant nut, that sounds like a problem. But if you've got a pair of giant nuts, that sounds like you're doing pretty good." is the best quote I've heard all day.

[ryanbates]

Tombstone has to improve its durability. It was fine in seasons past but in s6 it really lost its durability. Hopefully in s8 that will be fixed. But skorpios definitely won this one.

[Dramatic_Gaming]

Tombstone really is its own worst enemy it seems. Not to discount Skorpios, but a lot of what happened seemed to just be Tombstone shaking itself apart from impacts. The tire itself was fine, it was the motor & its housing that gave out.

[econecoff]

Under the newer rules, TS could continue to crab walk. It's won via crab walking in other venues. But I do applaud Skorpios for surviving those massive hits.

[smith]

Ray need to find a way, to put strong armor around his wheels, but stay within the weight limit. If a bot can take a hit from tombstone & still battle, that's a good & strong robot.

[DATo_DATonian]

The only problem with "giant nuts" is that when they get kicked you really feel it.

[trenchcoatbandit]

this is brutal. bits flying everywhere

[Weirdpoe]

This looked more like grit and luck than actual intended destruction upon Tombstone.

[Supreme_Cipher]

I'm mad I'm just now finding out about this sports series. This reminds me so much of the "Death Race" movies. I love this

[Billsfanlife]

I miss this show… Every fight was so worth it

[Zorak]

I think it was good driving that won this for Scorpios. They never let Tombstone's weapon hit Scorpios on the side, it always hit the front armor.

[turtlelord]

I do love how much force every hit from tombstone feels.

[KingMrBigE]

Did you see angry Ray was... lol. Love it!

[deadeye_john]

Thank you! This is my favorite fight from Season 4! Upload more clips with fights often!

[trekmcdonald]

That fight went on like twice as long as it needed to. Tombstones wheel was done long before it fell off. Skorpios just really wanted to keep hitting. Not really the best strategy. It always amazes me how surprised ray looks when he loses. the last minute and a half of that battle tombstone didn't have drive on one side.

[Nathan-vtjz]

It looked like Tombstone knocked its own wheels off from the recoil of its own weapon. It spun it around so hard that the wheel snapped of when it hit the other bot.
