      Well, it was a fight extremely well handed by both of them. Not only by how strong the attacks were but how well they performed on the driving of those bots. Something refreshing from all that bs coming from rocket scientists and MIT kids that can't even get their bots running from the start. Very well done by both of them.

    Yeah i think Beta's hammer broke a lot earlier than it seemed, Tombstone got a few glancing blows on the chain mechanism on the middle.
    0:43 you can see it trying to fire here, but it just couldn't follow through. If they could make the wedge a little taller to protect the axe mechanism more they could probably beat tombstone. but currently, it's just a little too exposed.

    Beta lost because of the rules in this season requires you to use your primary weapon so after Beta's hammer went down it can't gain damage points. I'd like to see a rematch between these two with current rules

      With current criteria I'd score this
      Damage 4-1 Tombstone
      Aggression 2-1 Beta
      Control 2-1 Beta
      Giving Tombstone the win 6-5 which seems fair in my book. You could deffo make an argument for control 3-0 Beta imo tho

      @@nametab6415 Aggression category refers to primary weapon usage. Beta only fired it's weapon around 3 times and it stopped working after 30s, Tombstone's horizontal spinner worked all fight and did a ton of damage. Tombstone definitely wins that category but ramming it into the wall was clever so I guess it would score 2-1 in Tombstone's favour.
      If Beta avoided all the damage in the last minute of the fight, it could have won.

    Always felt bad for Beta here, they were able to control the action of the majority of the fight. Unfortunately Tombstone managed to get that lucky shot in which took out the hammer base of Beta. Even despite that I think it was a toss up as to who would win as Tombstone didn't really do anything else. Another reason why damage shouldn't be the most heavily weighted category. It puts anything that isn't a spinner at a disadvantage.

      @人間-失格 2 года назад +14

      But that is exactly what brings in the numbers - destruction. A clean fight can be impressive, but the impact of destruction is hard to match by simple control. While the control here did have some destructive elements by making tombstone injure itself, it still didn't accomplish much because in that respect, even after taking so much, tombstone still managed to run its p-weapon & get that shot as a matter of fact which shows both good attack & defense/endurance for the bot.

      Every time I watch Beta, they refuse to use their hammer. A lot of the time they don't use it for half the match, only to get it destroyed without even using it once. When they do use it, it's quite underwhelming and lacks power.

    Such an awesome and iconic fight, but the fact that this wasn't a split decision shows how broken the judging criteria was back then (and kinda still is). Damage as a category is well past it's time. If you want an example of a balanced judging system, that doesn't put all the weight on spinners watch BashBots season 4.

    • @thomasfplm
      @thomasfplm Год назад +1

      I think that the real problem is that we don't know how each of them distributed the points.
      If it was an 11 points system, maybe it as: 6v5, 6v5, 6v5 for Tombstone.
      It would be unanimous, but still a very close win.

And assuming Bombshell beat Minotaur like it was, the Beta probably beat Bombshell in the final, mainly because Bombshell can't use their vertical spinner because it's damaged. But if Minotaur beat Bombshell I can see Minotaur winning

    It shouldn't be about who does the most damage, but who sustained the most damage. Having these intense kinetic weapons basically destroy themselves to then just called the winner due to them if course blowing up both sides is boring. Control and skill should be more rewarding. Given in this fight tombstone did hold up well and I do agree with the overall decision, but just not the point system.
    Spinners are fun to watch sure, but if the rules stay like they do, doing anything else is pointless as you cannot counter them. I personally prefer technical fights.

    • @Axxe80
      @Axxe80 7 дней назад

      It's a bit included in the system as cosmetic damage doesn't count, so a sturdier bot able to take more damage has an advantage in the judges' scoring. Nevertheless that point is rather small and doesn't change my opinion that you're absolutely right with your post (to which I agree).

    the fact Tombstone wins fights 99% of the times is simply because of their no-nonsense approach to design and really really clever-simple engineering. Works upside down too. Things don't have to be overdesigned. Bronco is another good example of a simple yet powerful design.

    Big tombstone fan. The problem with the way these competitions are ruled, every match with tombstone is basically tombstone vs a bot that attached a giant piece of armour to it. Yet when Hydra humiliated HUGE with a cow catcher they figured that was bad sportsmanship. Its the exact same thing. They attached a device to block the weapon because they can't defend against the weapon otherwise.
    Either way though, the biggest problem with battlebots right now is a lack of diversity, and with every other bot having a vertical spinner, a lot is lost in the same way that other bot shows might of had most bots being a flipper and favouring that type under the rules. They need to ammend the rules so that vertical spinners aren't so favoured by them.
