2:42 I really love how Depth Charge looked like it was about to hit the wall again but instead decided to do something different and destroy the floor instead. Now that’s what I call subverting expectations!
i like how this bot isnt scary to go up against because it's effective, its scary because you *really* dont want it accidentally flying in your direction
Lmao I know of a different competition where a wooden floor was damaged a lot worse, although i think their floor was thinner. If you want to see it, it is at 6:45:55 in a livestream called "Motorama Robot Conflict 2023 - Day 1" by a channel called Robot Conflict.
"Robots must not randomly fling themselves across the arena at dangerous velocity". Seriously, I'm amazed Depth Charge was allowed to compete. Safety rules would prevent it from competing in a lot of competitions.
Shut up you know that was epic as heck plus this is real battle bots gore I love heavy destruction not some metal scratches and the people are safe that’s heavy layered thick glass
This is legit the "How many Kindergardeners can you fight" question answered. Also love when they see it respin up after being down, and they just all back up
This seems like the ideal matchup type (in terms if entertainment, it was very one-sided) for a bot as chaotic, powerful, and difficult to control as Depth Charge. In James vs. Depth Charge, there was a large portion of the match where James just hovered out of reach, and Depth Charge was unlikely to hit anything if James didn't come for it. Here, there's just targets everywhere. It helps that Crashfest was being ultra-aggressive, even pushing other bots into the fight. "What happened to accuracy over speed?" "There are many targets. You will not miss!"
There's a one way bristle drive and the robot is unbalanced to one side. By changing the centrifugal force via changing the season speed, they can control the movement a tiny bit.
It functions kind of like a flywheel, increase speed. It turns I think to the right decrease speed it turns I think to the left (That could be reversed. I'm not sure) but then the moment it gets off angle from literally anything at that point the movement is completely uncontrolled cuz once that weapon touches the ground. The robot will go flying and from that moment until it is done flying there is no predictability in the movement
Depth charge is my hero, I love seeing a gimmick taken to its absolute 100%, I want them to make a bigger box and let depth charge push it further. Depth charge but a v8 with a tungsten bar~~
I love how Depth charge just chills for a second before spinning up his wheels and deciding he writes the rules of physics and is going to be over here now
@@shadowlordalphaThe lexan is double layered and even depth charge couldn't get through both layers in one go. Nobody was at any real risk here unless you want to count any of those robots or the arena as a person, because then nine people were at great risk of serious damage
I think all the participants had already lost but stuck around particularly for this chaos because depth charges operator was having kids and wanted to be there for them but wanted one last send-off
This is essentially the the robot battler equivalent of when the protagonist in a shonen powers up then launches from the air and misses living a giant crater.
I saw at least one alive at the end, that's a win in my book, the red and yellow one really poked the bear before the blades fell on it when the floor got wrecked
Bro I loved being there,that has to be my fav moment and fav moment I witnessed irl there,never seen anything like it,and crashfest is quite the durable lil guy and can drive like a boss,had to fight it this weekend,I can see why it’s a champion and it’s earned it’s title for most unkillable 3 lb
After the battle floor - The Whole Platform looks like a WAR zone !!! & that Blade robot was deadly.. nicely built. But, still no one could stand in front of that GIANT BOX 🤣🤣
2:45 OH GOD I'M GETTING FLASHBACKS... well at least it wasn't the wall that got demolished this time, but instead the floor and CRASHFEST, MY BOY, WHAT HAPPENED TO- oh yeah, Depth Charge happened.
The amazing thing is that, in the pits after the fight, Crashfest's builder plugged its batteries back in, and all its systems worked fine! It's a really tough bot.
Crashtest, i think? the small wedgey bot with the shovel, quite tough little nut taking a few hits early on. Oh no, it got the full blade on it, just dust anymore? There it is, poor thing, i enjoyed the little thing :D
holy crap. this might be one of the most epic robot battles of all time. sending the first guy flying straight into the camera and cracking the glass. then tearing across the arena like a saw blade against the wood floor and immediately dropping the hammer of thor on top of the bot and seemingly leaving only a splittered cratered where it stood. WOW
It's crazy that people can't understand just how amazing depth charge is. The fact that its entire mode of transportation is throwing itself sideways and using pure destruction to launch itself across the box is INSANE
Depth Charge is easily the scariest robot in the show ever, to the point it apparently got banned. As soon as the signal goes it enters a state of bloodlust rage urging it to absolutely tear apart everything and anything, including itself and the battle box. Metal as f***
I love Depth Charge insane power but I agree that it needs a real way to move, its more of a chainsaw let loose in the arena than an actual bot. And if they keep making bots like this, they'll eventually get matched up and theyll just destroy the floor and walls rather than fight eachother.
The strategy against depth charge isn’t to actually try to do damage it’s to get it stuck so that the house bots have to slam into it to get it unstuck
Depth charge was never designed to actually do much, it relies solely on pure luck that centrifugal forces and dumb enemy controls lead them to the weapon as beyond activating the weapon the robot can do little else as the rotations mean there is NO control
One thing i don’t see anyone talk about isthe ref bot smacking into depth charge after everything that happened. It’s like it was really upset depth charge broke the arena again.
Why do they all look totally unresponsive to their pilots? Shouldn't one of the basic requirements of a bot be like.. able to go from point A to point B?
Most amazing thing of all? One of those little bits of cannon fodder _survived_ all that. Someone buy that thing a lottery ticket, it's clearly got the mojo to win on a technicality.
2:42 I really love how Depth Charge looked like it was about to hit the wall again but instead decided to do something different and destroy the floor instead. Now that’s what I call subverting expectations!
Depth Charge is contractually obliged to destroy something other than robots at every NHRL event. Probably.
@@NHRL i guess that means Fluffy had better watch out next time
@@NHRL yes XD
Hmmm Pizza cutter
i rebuilt depth charge in lego and it destroyed my door, 3 boxes and my wall and anihilated anything in its path
i like how this bot isnt scary to go up against because it's effective, its scary because you *really* dont want it accidentally flying in your direction
Attack the pilot not the robot
Depth charge has caused more damage to the arena than i've ever seen a bot do EVER in the arena.
because the floor was wooden. the battlebots have thick steel floor.
Lmao I know of a different competition where a wooden floor was damaged a lot worse, although i think their floor was thinner. If you want to see it, it is at 6:45:55 in a livestream called "Motorama Robot Conflict 2023 - Day 1" by a channel called Robot Conflict.
It also broke the bulletproof glass once,
I think Dutch Oven may be scarier now that its dialed in tho.
@@sylph4252actually It broke the bulletproof glass twice
The real fun isn't winning, it's being responsible for a new page in the rulebook.
"Robots must not randomly fling themselves across the arena at dangerous velocity". Seriously, I'm amazed Depth Charge was allowed to compete. Safety rules would prevent it from competing in a lot of competitions.
Like all legends do
Just like many pro sports 👍

2:57 Depth Charge’s Ultimate attack
I had to rewatch it a few times I didn’t even notice it hit someone 😂
Screw this one bot in particular
Better to start at 2:54
4:24 Think that's what's left.
@@davidjosh5640 it’s terrifying that it just moved across the stage

This is the closest we'll ever get to "50 cones vs Tombstone"
On one hand tombstone is powerful
On the other hand... that's a lot of cones...
Is there a person controlling Depth Charge or do they just turn it on and let it play electric football style
There's a one way bristle drive and the robot is unbalanced to one side. By changing the centrifugal force via changing the season speed, they can control the movement a tiny bit.

@the_undead It has bristles on the top and the bottom so I imagine both are right depending on which side it's ended up on.
8 beetleweights: *can't defeat Depth Charge*
Depth Charge: "Fine, I'll do it myself" *spins itself out of existence*
Lmfao yes exactly. That's why is my favorite and least favorite bot at the same time. It's beautiful in its absurdity.
Depth charge is my hero, I love seeing a gimmick taken to its absolute 100%, I want them to make a bigger box and let depth charge push it further. Depth charge but a v8 with a tungsten bar~~
That sounds like a lawnmower built for destruction. 😂
@@Adventist1997 a car sized lawnmower that is warcrime adjacent just to look at yes
Isnt that just tombstone?
Tombstone is electric, I think that'd be more akin to ICEWave@@Core81alpha
I want to see depth charge vs Blendo Jamie hynemans old school bot
1:30
That little bot pushed pizzabot into that blade intentionally.
"Love live the king."
And then the karma wrecked it at 2:57 !
Someone please write this fanfic, I'm into it
I love how Depth charge just chills for a second before spinning up his wheels and deciding he writes the rules of physics and is going to be over here now
😂😂😂 haha yes!!
Biggest winner was audience, biggest loser was floor
Like sending a pack of children to fight an MMA kickboxer who just finished a pack of shrooms.
Bunch of toddlers versus princess the pitbull.
It's Anakin vs the Younglings
I shouldn't be laughing at this but god that image 😂
The Joe Rogan Experience
That's the chaotic content and high level of participant endangerment BattleBots are too cowardly to provide
GGDQ had a similar issue - I love the good old fashioned events like these!!
I mean... ya...
they could also just build a better box but meh
@@shadowlordalphaThe lexan is double layered and even depth charge couldn't get through both layers in one go. Nobody was at any real risk here unless you want to count any of those robots or the arena as a person, because then nine people were at great risk of serious damage
Absolute hilarity. Thank you to all who sacrficed their machines for this.
I think all the participants had already lost but stuck around particularly for this chaos because depth charges operator was having kids and wanted to be there for them but wanted one last send-off
The fact that some of the small bots took a hit and are still able to move is honestly amazing
This is essentially the the robot battler equivalent of when the protagonist in a shonen powers up then launches from the air and misses living a giant crater.
i love how crashfest just kept getting in with no respect at all for depth charge
And got hit the absolute hardest
@@John-lz2bs from what I've seen crashfest is built like a friggin tank lol, that lil bot is a damn metal brick
the fact there were still some bots that could move around after depth charge is amazing!
Is there a more terrifying robot that competes at NHRL than Depth Charge?
Lynx
Spine Crawler
Hopefully what I’m bringing!
No. That thing could probably beat some heavyweights, lol.
milktank
2:57 That was a literal execution.
Depth Charge was like "aaaaaand FUCK YOU IN PARTICULAR"
Man, I really thought the beetles had it there.
Oh they've had it all right.
I saw at least one alive at the end, that's a win in my book, the red and yellow one really poked the bear before the blades fell on it when the floor got wrecked
@@jamesprins9735until they didn't
2:53 It really felt like depth charge was preparing to get that person behind the box
i just love how chaotic this robot is.
The more of these videos I watch, the more I find these little minibots cute. And the more I want one of my own.
Make sure you check out cheesecake, the 1 lb bot.

Agreed. The fact there was at least 3 surivors in this bout surprises me, but the fact Crashfest survived didn't surprise me. It puts DUCK! to shame.
2:45 Display of dominance

That was like a "hold my beer. Watch this." Moment. Classic
amazing control of depth charge is what makes the show good to watch
The brutal karate chop onto Crashfest T^T
5:01 Camera guy was so glad that plexiglass wall was there
Crashtest, i think? the small wedgey bot with the shovel, quite tough little nut taking a few hits early on. Oh no, it got the full blade on it, just dust anymore?
There it is, poor thing, i enjoyed the little thing :D
so overpowered it tore itself apart and the arena. scary shit insane design
This is why robots don't deliver pizza.
2:57 Depth Charge with that Elbow Drop 😱
I really love how they just got to the point, unlike other channels that talk me to death before actually showing me content
This is peak "boys will be boys" energy and i love it!
Wow Depth Charge really DIDN’T want to win that! 🤷🏻♂️
the SOUND when it spins up is absolutely terrifying
holy crap. this might be one of the most epic robot battles of all time. sending the first guy flying straight into the camera and cracking the glass. then tearing across the arena like a saw blade against the wood floor and immediately dropping the hammer of thor on top of the bot and seemingly leaving only a splittered cratered where it stood.

I happy to have participated in this chaos!
I was wondering how that masive robot was under 3 lbs. Pizza box.
It's crazy that people can't understand just how amazing depth charge is. The fact that its entire mode of transportation is throwing itself sideways and using pure destruction to launch itself across the box is INSANE
I feel like the weapon is just a helicopter properller lol. It flew a bit from the momentum xD
Man that one bot got hit by a smash attack 💀 💀 💀
It's almost like that bot trashes the arena, every time it's in there. Lol
Only housebot survived that carnage xD
”Master Depth Charge, there’s too many of them! What are we going to do?”
**Saw turns on**
1:56 dang these beetleweights are actually pretty tough
that depthcharge wheel killer dash across the arena is some of the most anime shit ive seen in robot fighting like, ever. incredible. 10/10
2:57 crashfest got finisher move'd
We are putting you in a arena
Depth Charge: and I took that as a challenge to get out.
If Depth Charge had wheels it would be a Weapon of Mass Destruction. If not already.
Depth charge laid down the HAMMER on that one bot, shiest!!!!
2:58 = Wham! GOODBYE!
The pizza box bot made me laugh so much
I want to see DC vs Hotshot.
kind of sucks how depth charge couldn't defeat the beetleweights by themselves without the house bots help multiple times...
And at the end it appeared he was stuck and one of the beetleweights was still cruising around.
This was such an epic fight!
Fight? It’s a damn massacre for the minibots
Depth charge is pure carnage and chaos and I love it
2:21 *Throws Draven Ult*
2:55 *Throws Draven Ult again*
Depth Charge is easily the scariest robot in the show ever, to the point it apparently got banned. As soon as the signal goes it enters a state of bloodlust rage urging it to absolutely tear apart everything and anything, including itself and the battle box. Metal as f***
Me and my 7 brothers trying to stop our drunk dad:
Robert: I'm here to win against the most scariest opponent yet.
Depth Charge should not be allowed to compete- never under control and constantly rips apart the arena just attempting to drive.
I love Depth Charge insane power but I agree that it needs a real way to move, its more of a chainsaw let loose in the arena than an actual bot. And if they keep making bots like this, they'll eventually get matched up and theyll just destroy the floor and walls rather than fight eachother.
2 depth charge gimmick bots vibrating menacingly at each other because neither of them can actually move to engage
Pizza box robot rules
I like how whoever agreed to this fight just threw their money down the toilet.
what happened if a 250lb bot went against 16 beetleweights
Or against 84 beetleweights so they have the same total weight.
or 250 pounds of actual beetles?
@@Living_Murphys_Law seems interesting
@@Valchrist1313 I’ve fed beetles through a paper shredder before, so I have a pretty good idea of what that would look like.
Attack Power: Siege Weapon Level
Speed: Slug
classic depth charge. instantly started grinding up the floor.
The strategy against depth charge isn’t to actually try to do damage it’s to get it stuck so that the house bots have to slam into it to get it unstuck
"This his mayham,this is carnage"
No,this is depth charge
Watching this while high is terrifyingly hilarious Omg what a gem
I love how NHRL don't take themselves too seriously, and let anyone enter.
lol a domino's pizza box robot
Robert, this is an exhibition match, you're not supposed to try to win.
To nie jest sport na który zasłużyliśmy. Lecz jest to sport którego nam potrzeba! Czas rozpocząć igrzyska!!!
Depth charge my favorite of all matches ❤⚡⚙️
2:57 this is a straight up execution move
Depth charge is the only robot I would walk out before the fight starts, I wouldn’t like a spinning shredder of death flying straight towards my head
Just imagine depth charge against fluffy, at that one moment depth charge will soon dash across the box and shred fluffy
Depth Charge is lije the biological child of Hypno Disc
Do you think they use robot vacuums to clean up the arena after?
Depth charge was never designed to actually do much, it relies solely on pure luck that centrifugal forces and dumb enemy controls lead them to the weapon as beyond activating the weapon the robot can do little else as the rotations mean there is NO control
Depth Charge, the "Roomba" of fighting robots... Except without the ability to move in a specific direction.
That was not robot. Put a handle on that and you have a pretty effective zombie weapon.
I really liked the part where they chose the worst possible camera angle for everything the entire time.
2:54 Revving up for a SPINDASH!!!!

Its not delivery its DESTRUCTION

Pretty sure Depth Charge uses its weapon as a mode of transport. But it isn't easy to control bots, especially when they get damaged
"Ten seconds left in this... match?"
Most amazing thing of all? One of those little bits of cannon fodder _survived_ all that. Someone buy that thing a lottery ticket, it's clearly got the mojo to win on a technicality.
It gets truly is scary when you hear plane propeller sounds
It’s like putting Lebron James (Depth Charge) vs James Harden (Crashfest) and 7 Decent High School Basketball Players (Other Beetleweights)
Do they have to rebuild the arena after every Depth Charge fight?
1:00... Was that f***ing tombstone!?
