The newer Bot on the scene "Huge" isn't the meanest or baddest looking Bot with those big white plastic wheels but, it's kicking some but and is hard to damage because it's so flexible and tough. I believe I heard somebody say tupperware like. Should be one to watch going into finals.

HUGE will go far IF it doesn't face a horizontal spinner like SOW. Horizontal spinners tore the crap out of HUGE's wheels last year.

Is that Son of Whyachi? (SOW) My thinking as well

Some serious ass whuppins tonight.

Wouldnt have bet that Sawblaze would own SOW like that

Witch Doctor looked really good, as well as Tombstone. Huge lost, but thanks to a great strategy and superior bot driving by his opponent, not by significant design or construction flaw.

A Minotaur vs Witch Doctor match would be fantastic.

Yeah, thought it was odd that Huge caused more damage and disabled their primary weapon yet still lost.

HUGE was pushed around the whole time and the only reason HUGE did any damage was the other driver was willing to accept it to get in close. It was a split decision and really could have gone either way. Huge Damage 3 points, the other bot got the points on Aggression 2 points and Control 2 points

Looks like the best thing going for Witch Doctor was the referee.

When Paul gets Bite Force 'fixed' I wonder if he can go for four?

Watching Tombstone's lurid demise reminded me of Gene Hackman's Buck Barrow at his end in "Bonnie and Clyde", just sad.

Between that and "Judge Lisa" who has never decided against Witch Doctor in a match. Also Death Roll didn't go himself any favors: Death Roll was mobile but primary weapon out, Witch Doctor not mobile, but primary weapon working; Death Roll should have hammered the sides and rear of Witch Doctor. Death Roll didn't thus losing out on position and aggression points, which would have made it a 4-3 decision in Death Roll's favor (exactly what the other bot did to HUGE). It did seem like the refs were giving the bots a little extra time before beginning the countdown.

Wow, Tombstone went from demolishing a bot in the Elite Eight round to being demolished in the semi final round. How many times this season have Tombstones wedges broken? I can think of at least two times. The horizontal spinners take themselves out half the time in matches. Byte Force had a great final match, loved seeing Witch Doctor torn apart and it takes the decision out of the Judges' hands.

Tombstone got wrecked, I was actually hoping he would win this year.

No idea what he thinks he needs to do to Bite Force, it's the best bot out there, nobody has found a weakness yet.

Sad about Tombstone. Wonder if he's got a design flaw or just needs better materials or some type of scan (magnetometer ? or something) to see if there are flaws in the steel...?

I think a flipper might do it, but it would have to be very mobile and agile with a very low lifting fork. So far the the drum spinners, vertical spinners, and horizontal spinners haven't stopped Byte Force.

He owned Bronco earlier this season. Bronco was having a shit season but Bite Force still owned him big time.

Hydra was quite an impressive bot this year, the new hotness in flippers

Yep, Bronco was too slow and not agile enough. Also lift fork was too high to get under Byte Force. It may take another "Byte Force" style bot to take out Byte Force.

Bite Force will have to be out driven. The first bot to hit him HARD in the side will upset the king.

Just a matter of time, and kinda too bad because I like the owner/driver of Bite Force. Seems humble and doesn't go all ape shit when he wins.

That armor on the side has taken shoots but it is very low profile and very strong. Whatever bot eventually dethrones the King (Byte Force) will have to be extremely well driven.
