If Icewave could've just moved slightly sideways like a matador, they would've consistently hit Free Shipping's sides instead of uselessly smacking its plow.
sadly, this was the end of an era, as this was likely IceWave's last ever fight in the Battlebox. unfortunately, a large horizontal that takes a long time to spin up is just not going to cut it in the current era of the sport.
@@sendingit2601 perhaps, but I'm not exactly sure how that would work. this fight is a perfect demonstration of how you can totally neutralize a large horizontal spinning weapon as long as you have a strong plow on your bot.
I feel like you could have a much more interesting meta instead of just infinite vertical spinners if they would make the arena hazards actually be dangerous to most bots, so you could have bots that focus on manipulating the enemies into the hazards.
Forklift vs lawnmower 😂
Good one. 😁
Darn it!! I wanted to say that!
literally
more like fire vs ice
Free Shipping deserved that win.
I love how they just never mentioned Icewave’s head being turned completely sideways
That's why they were so confused up on the shelf

The could’ve won had that happened
Its unfortunate that the score system discourages control bots so much.
I had free shipping winning this by miles. The judging criteria needs a serious overhaul for control bots
They want every bot to be a vertical spinner

It's bc control bots are boring - no sparks, no big hammer, no launching the enemy. It's like a boxing match that's just grapples
@@dippyfresh1116 its more unfortunate that the arena hazards atent more destructive
I'm aware Icewave lost but damn, that spinner still packs a punch. All they need is the ground game they'd be still getting quick knockouts.
This was a nice fight. Free shipping pretty much twisted icewave neck
Gary's driving is spot on as usual!

Hopefully we see a return with a redesign, like blacksmith

Gary Gin has to limit himself with free shipping so he doesnt go 30-0
still cant beat biteforce
Icewave's blade is flawed, it should not be stopping like that, it should keep going so the bot won't get caught in defenseless mode.🤔🤦🏾♀
Looks like IceWave needs a stronger and more reliable engine. From the sound alone it seems its RPM are lower than in IceWave's glory days.
seriously Gary I know your loved by the battlebots community but come on uppercut vs icewave would've been beautiful

Free shipping never used its forklift, even after icewave's blade was disabled. Why not?
Hey, this is the first official season 6 fight uploaded to TH-cam
In BattleBots Bounty Hunters Season 2 2021
Freewave vs Ice Shipping
Me either but I didn't want to it's because someone said it already
I'd be a nerd for free shipping and that's not all
Hey, please stop spoiling the results in the title! That totally sucks!

Icewave is small
🤘🏻😎
Ever notice that when there is a split decision, the team that is announced first wins?
That didn't happen with Copperhead vs Mammoth or Whiplash vs Monsoon.
sawblaze vs endgame in champions II be like
Free shipping is a stupid bot.
Your opinion is stupid
Icewave should have won
I dunno why bot is more boring. Free shipping or duck
L thought
That flamethrower isn’t all that epic!
