Rotator went all the way from the bot that got one shotted by Witch Doctor to become the best horizontal spinner in Battlebots. I'd like to see a rematch against Witch Doctor.
Victor is one of the best at modifying and adjusting per fight. A more defensive design here and no sweat against the Captain. Hoping for a big Rotator run this year…Tantrum has had some veeeeery close calls to losing this year while Rotator is one of the most reliable. Should be fun.
@@ryanamburgy2791 it wasn't that close they won in every category they did More damage and broke gigabyte's weapon and wedge attachment they were dictating where the hits took place making them the agressive ones and they had more control but sending them on the upper deck twice and ramming them into walls with each hit tantrum won it clear as day.
@@ryanamburgy2791 a wheel vs your primary weapon isn't equal damage done they could barely move but gigabyte couldn't capitalize because their weapon was disabled This is just like the witch doctor vs Hydra fight.
Rotator is, hands down, the best horizontal spinner. It's reliability and driving is insane. Victor Soto is one of the best drivers and strategist in this sport.
Calling Victor underrated does not mean that he is not a tactician. In fact, it pretty much means the opposite. It means that he is better than most people give him the credit for. I think that Kennys comment is justified because whenever you hear people talking about the best bot drivers, they almost never mention Victor, even though he absolutely deserves to be on any list of the best drivers.
Tombstone throws itself over the wall, breaks a wheel and gets knocked ot counted out, I was hoping Ray would've added some type of wheel guard this season, it's probably Tombstone's weakest link IMO. Very disappointed to see him out of the competition over a wheel that keeps breaking.
@@Eden_M Tombstone's biggest weakness is always Tombstone. Either when he knocks himself around with his own weapon or his axles break. Last season when Skorpois cut off his wheel, and then this year's blowout from the Round of 32 shows Ray really needs to put a guard frame around the tires.
@@_GeneralMechanics_ Tombstone has always been a glass cannon. But Billings acknowledged how self destructive the design was back when Last Rights was on TV, like 10 years ago.
The sheer amount of disrespect by Rotator, just nudging Shrederator along the floor to get him under the pulverizer to finish him off. I was laughing so hard at it.
At this point I think shrederator needs a redesign, don't get me wrong Ive really enjoyed its contribution to combat robotics but it just feels like its getting a little bit toothless (pun intended) when it comes to fighting against newer bots. Hope to see a better spin to win next year.
Exactly, unlike gigabyte, shrederator can’t flip over so it can’t deliver those massive blows, shrederator will be toppled but gigabyte can easily flip back over, gigabyte is also a very durable robot unlike shrederator
@@huntzzio I'd love to see the tournament get its first meltybrain spinner. Maybe a special exception made for them in the rules like there is for walkers.
Unfortunately full bodied spinners are a bit old school now and don’t hold up very well against a lot of the newer bots. Unfortunately we’ve seen it with Gigabyte too, sorry
Shrederator's shell probably sustained several micro fractures in his previous fights. They are not visible unless you test it with ultrasounds or inspect it with a microscope.
Yep, it also wasn't Rotator that cracked the shell. It was Shrederator hitting the wall, I think in terms of energy its got to be the most powerful spinner in the competition. I don't think I've ever seen another robot break the wall to that extent.
@@SpitfireFortyFour How many years has that same shell been used? We see normal spinning weapons only last a few fights. But from what I see, that same shell has a few seasons on it.
@@SpitfireFortyFour Deep Six calculated that they probably have the most stored KE of any spinner this season, but the 'Shred is defo up there with the most powerful of them.
Holy cow, they split the entire full body shell right in half... In the replay you can see Shredderator rip part of the wall right off the upper deck when it collides with it, brutal.
Glad that Rotator advanced to top 16, but sad that it is now the only horizontal spinner left in the competition and it had to beat another horizontal spinner to advance.
SPOILERS Not as good as the first fight that happened in Bounty Hunters but it was still good to see Shrederator land a few good shots and make it to the top 32 this time. Just as always it's reliability cost it.
It's going to be interesting to see them against Tantrum in the next round. What happens when two legendarily durable giant-killers meet? I think it's going to come down to how much damage Tantrum is carrying over from the Gigabyte fight. If they're in good shape again, I think Rotator might be getting a taste of it's own horizontal-killing medicine.
@@ryanamburgy2791 Not as easy as it sounds. Tantrums anti-horizontal is lower than sawblaze last year so who knows they may be lower than rotator's forks. But this is probably gonna be the best fight of the next episode after endgame vs minotaur.
If Tantrum is not driven by Aren Hill, then there will be even more uncertainty. I've no doubt that Tantrum has the potential to beat all robots in the competition, but the driving is really crucial. The driving in the previous match against Gigabyte is a bit subpar.
@@ryanamburgy2791 There was also a false start before the real fight we saw in which Tantrum's beak got bent. Their front tires weren't touching the ground for the first half of the fight.
Rotator is definitely the best horizontal spinner. It's drive, it's reliability. It may doesn't deal as much damage as Tombstone but it's reliability makes up for it.
@@cypherbrittainnethegodofsl4988 being reliable is the most important stat to have, But I'll always love a good old tombstone fight win or lose someones goin flying.
so they got tombstone himself, shrederator, skorpios, bombshell, black dragon and jackpot. Also nearly beaten endgame. So he's literally beaten every tombstone killer expect bite force, witch doctor and endgame. Right now there is no doubt he is the best horizontal spinner, cause in the top 16 he's the only one left. Although I want to see them fight gigabyte in bounty hunters just to make sure.
I can't help but think of Borat each time I hear the opening "Let the opening battle begiiin". In my mind it always follows up with "Aaand we have a claash, veery niiice".
When the first tooth from Captain Shrederator broke off, it actually flew off high and hit one of the higher lights on the back wall of the Upper Deck; that just gives an idea of the power and velocity of these things and it was like in a flash too.
This fight was better than most of the fights on the episode we got on the air. Also, rotator looking real strong. Should we be worried about tantrum in the next round, especially with repairs from the gigabyte fight? We know the anti-horizontal wedge is super low and rotator definitely going with the forks. So that should be an interesting match. Feels like a championship match up so early tbh.
If RotatoR keeps spinning, RotatoR will be winning. I honestly think that both Whiplash AND Cobalt would be more worried about fighting RotatoR than Tantrum.
@@shadow-scope-fsm7165 Quadrant 3 is stacked with good bots. I'd even say all 4 have a good chance of winning if they make it out of their quadrant. It's impressive how rotator has not lost it's weapon not even once. Only issue for rotator vs tantrum is that if rotator is upside down they can't hit tantrum and tantrum will capitalize on that. Tantrum is just so low and well armoured.
@@nicholascahyadi2770 rotator is insanely reliable and always has been. The only bot that’s actually stopped rotators weapon in the last 3 years is endgame and it took 2 and a half minutes
There were only 2 decisive punches in the whole match - the first one is Rotator's armor knocking off teeth in one tap, and the next is the wall-hazards knocking out a tooth on a richochet. That's it. Everything else was flopping around. The wall damage was far worse than the worthless hammer. Get rid of those, get rid of floor hazards - we've hardly ever see the floor-saws do damage compared to their empty slots which have trapped bad driving bots with low-hanging fruit.
Lets not forget that they also SPOILED the outcome too. And again in the final 16 - Whyplash v saw blaze...ya, no need to air that SEMIFINAL fight, just tell us the result, wait several days, so everyone knows the outcome for sure, then air it. Great work BB. You have TWO HOURS BB, these fights are FOUR minutes long, with the interview. Dumbest production choice i have ever seen
Sure, let's have a TV show that lasts 15 minutes- 5 3-minute rounds. But seriously, it would be cool if BattleBots adjusted its rules to have 5-6 minute battles, given the improvement in battery longevity over the last couple of decades.
@@XanderHarris1023 Nah. Pit Tombstone and Shrederator against each other again and Shrederator will win 9 times out of 10. It's the perfect design to beat Tombstone.
They'll never cut ads, but they wouldn't have to. Just cut some of the talking, there were 2 segments in the regular broadcast that didn't even have any fights.
Full body spinners don't have a chance nowadays. Everyone knows all you need is good armored wedge and just let them destroy themselves bouncing everywhere in the box. And on top of this, most full body spinners like to weld big blocks of metal to deliver lots of energy, which is usually what also destroys them. I remember back in the day Ziggo welding big blocks of metal to have more mass on impact, well, that also made him destroy himself and he was never the same bot that won the nut.
@@imnotoriginal8980 To be fair, Gigabyte approach is very good. Instead of big blocks to work as a teeth, they have smaller bolted glades. They are nowhere near as big or heavy as those on Shrederator, but thanks to nt being welded on and smaller, they can survive much harder impacts.
Yet again showing the difference between Gigabyte and Shred. In that Gigabyte can survive 3 full minutes against a tank like Tantrum while unleashing so much damage that the body of Tantrum is warped and they completely lost drive at the end of the fight. While Shred can only last like a minute against Rotator. Not saying Gigabyte would beat Rotator. Just that they would have lasted much longer and their teeth would actually stand a chance at doing some damage as their teeth are meant to cut into bots so they would stand a better shot at maybe cutting into the wedge of Rotator kind of like Valkyrie did last season.
I mean, last year Shrederator did went whole 3 minutes against Rotator, only loosing because in last 40 seconds it's shell stopped spinning, what gave Rotator damage cathegory. What we saw here is kind of the repeat of Gigabyte vs Copperhead round 1, already bitten up shell simply giving up after many harsh fights, like come on, this is the same shell they used against Rotator last year and Tombstone this year, im supriced it survived so far into the tournament to be fair.
@@lewycraft Not so sure if it was an issue of a damaged shell. As on the team website they mention how they have brought multiple shells this season. And find it hard to believe they wouldn't swap shells if one was badly damaged especially for the tournament and even more so when facing maybe the most durable bot in the field Rotator. So to me I would imagine this loss just comes down to their wields failing them in this fight. What I should have said when comparing them is just that Gigabyte over the last two seasons has found great consistency. While Captain Shred although have a successful season still has issues. As weapon died pretty fast against Tombstone. And then the died almost instantly against Gigabyte. While Gigabyte on the other hand if you count Bounty Hunters are now a combined 9-4 over the last two seasons with 9 KO. Who's only losses have come against Copperhead who's been a top 4 bot that last two seasons. Hydra who was the back to back #1 seed and is now in the top 16 this year. Uppercut who has been ranked in the top 4 the last two seasons. And Tantrum who made the final 4 last season.
I think Capt. Shred. can see that, due to a lack of offensive capabilities, he's been demoted to "Private Shrederatator" ... Time to rethink the bot, I'd say ...
I mean his damage output was definitely impressive, even in this fight- he took some good chunks and dents out of rotators deep, heavily armored wedge, even though it's precision crafted to counter them If he got a solid hit like that on rotator's side it could have been a ohko on their drive train. Rotator's caution and tactics are what made this so decisive, not Capt"s ability to do damage (well, at least when Capt is actually are working properly)
To be fair, it seems, that what decided the match was damage in previous fights. Someone pointed out that this Shell on Shrederator was LITTERALY the same they used against Rotator last time, and basicly all last season, it was already weakened and compromised. Micro cracks most likely were present on the shell, and when you hit as hard as Shrederator... well, thing could not hold up and broke.
Back in season 4, tombstone fought rotator and rotator caused a monumental upset In season 6, tombstone first fought captain Shrederator, and the full body spinner won. I’m actually not joking
Weapon idea but idk if the rules allow it, Plasma torch, fires useless 99% of the time and its more of a risk to your bot. A plasma torch would actually be able to do good damage
Flame outputs are subject to the following: Only pure propane, pure butane, or a combination of the two can be used. Idk if it would count as flame or not
The weapon I would love to see is some type of piston operated penetrating weapon. A hammer is great, but a sharp object with the same power and speed could do massive damage to the internals.
1:30 onwards. That's a cool effect seeing Shrederator skim along the dusty battle arena floor clearing a circle around him.
The dust is from sparks and other bits of metal
@@Leto_0And rubber from tires.
Rotator went all the way from the bot that got one shotted by Witch Doctor to become the best horizontal spinner in Battlebots. I'd like to see a rematch against Witch Doctor.
anti meta bot
It'll be interesting, though remember how they got whipped by Deathroll. They need a good anti vertical setup
@@RennieAsh Death Roll got lucky in that fight, Rotator had a bad batch of metal for their blade, in a rematch I think rotator would win
@@RennieAsh They already got 1. They did well against black dragon a few episodes back and almost beat endgame last year.
To me Gigabyte is a better full body spinner, though their playoff forks were a poor choice.

And I also don't think that Carbide's wedge was this tough

Someone pointed out that this Shell on Shrederator was LITTERALY the same they used against Rotator last time, and basicly all last season, it was already weakened and compromised. Micro cracks most likely were present on the shell, and when you hit as hard as Shrederator... well, thing could not hold up and broke.
Rotator looks so so strong I think it’s a contender
Es garantizado que en un combate en la que este un robot como Shederator habrá chispas por todos lados xd
Battle of tombstone killers
Shrederator should take some cues from bayblade on disk design. Add some sloped teeth and minimize stress points on the frame.
Getting undercutter Carbide vibes from this Rotator
1:40 Is that dust or rubber particles moving by the wind created by those spinners? Check out the floor/ground.
Good one.....
Wow a full-body spinner stopped working after a few hits...Every fkng time.
Best fight for CS (despite lose)
Sherederator and spinners ain't what they used to be 😔
We had our days.
OH THE HUMANITY...!!!
Avengers quotes should hear this.
Rotator wins but if the owner of avengers quote TH-cam channel is coming for you.
chris rose calling rotator "robot"
technically not incorrect
One of them looks like Captain America’s shield
Captain Shredderator needs some major overhaul, I rarely see it win. The weapon fails on it are par for the course, sadly.
Blendo walked so spinning robots can run
1:17 This has to be a lost kid of Ivan Rakitic
I don't think Shrederator can do this all day.
Fight begins at 1:20
:( .. I love Captain Shredderator
Tombstone who is the champion will destroy both of these bots at the same time
Back in season 4, tombstone fought rotator and rotator caused a monumental upset
In season 6, tombstone first fought captain Shrederator, and the full body spinner won.
I’m actually not joking
Rotator's lean shield is effective
In BattleBots (2021)
Ok...? Why was this fricking wedge not used in Bounty Hunters?
Did they stop moving to prevent more damage?
To me rotator is the best at strategy they tweak there bot for each opponent and it usually works out for them.
How about you show the series in Australia?
This is basically beyblade.
Not quite. There's Gigabyte vs Captain Shrederator. That's the real beyblade fight albeit pretty short.
The disrespect 😂😂😂
I thought it was a bit of bad sportsmanship to continue pounding Sherederator with the pulverizer DURING the count-out. Boo!
I think the rotator will be champion.
Rotator has to face Tantrum next, and if they aren't aggressive enough, I don't think they'll win.
Agreed
is that Bruce Willis on Rotator's team? lol
Weapon idea but idk if the rules allow it, Plasma torch, fires useless 99% of the time and its more of a risk to your bot. A plasma torch would actually be able to do good damage
The rules specifically say that flames are intended for showmanship and aren't considered to be a primary weapon.
Flame outputs are subject to the following:
Only pure propane, pure butane, or a combination of the two can be used.
Idk if it would count as flame or not
The weapon I would love to see is some type of piston operated penetrating weapon. A hammer is great, but a sharp object with the same power and speed could do massive damage to the internals.
@@vkws828 isn't that what Rusty has attached to his arms?
@Roy V that design has been shown not to work very well in the past
God willing, very beautiful, good luck my dear friend
I think it's time for a complete redesign of Captain Shrederator. I see them lose a lot of time.
captain shrederator damaged the rail
My bracket is still mostly intact, only Ribbot and Glitch are where I made it wrong.
This is like beyblades for big kids
And people asked why I said victor is one of the best drivers in the field.
Fight starts @1:22
Did anyone expect a different outcome?
Amaziing 🤣👍
