Despite getting literally slapped, this was a lot of fun. Time for a redemption arc!

[@christopherdecicco6633]

Super proud of you folks for taking the leap!

[@bami2]

I always wanted to see a battlebot scrapyard wars, it seems like a match made in heaven.
Props to NHRL for finally making it happen.

[@NHRL]

We will probably do more of these in future

[@PelleKuipers]

@@NHRL Would be so cool to give them time just until before the finals. That's often the moment when there's a lot of down time and that would be the best time.
And maybe have teams who lost donate parts to both teams?

The epitomy of "and then, everything exploded"
What a match 😂

[@randomneuralfirings]

Both junk bots got destroyed. The expertly built combat robot got destroyed. The referee bot got destroyed. Robot sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

[@JoshSimpson]

This is the content you never knew you need it all ever in your life.

I've been waiting for this video since we got to chatting about it on the Skorpios builder blog channel. This did not disappoint. What a great idea for a special event. I also had flashbacks to programming a FlySky for the first time.

[@NHRL]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrPinguinzz]

Caldera losing to the tank treads for disabling their weapon would be the perfect end

[@martpr2012]

it's really interesting to see just how well builders get on in these sub ideal conditions. with how much practise and preparation that usually goes on behind each competitor, it's brilliant to see how it's handled when that all gets taken away and it's just down to raw skill as a builder and driver to be able to work with anything. I imagine you could likely see some of the smaller teams outperform some of the bigger more high tech teams like Jamison Go for example. that would be crazy to watch. Give them more junk, more prep time and let them have at it.... i'll be waiting with the popcorn 😁

[@NicolasLopez-bk3me]

You know what else would be cool? Same concept, but with kit bots and 30 bucks.

[@NicolasLopez-bk3me]

The SCAR kit antweight contest was similar, but I think that being able to watch it live just adds something

[@thunderaarcanis98]

spank tank
weapon motor: DC motor with ECU

[@Atmatan_Kabbaher]

This is the best thing ever.
One of my favorite battlebot designers collabing with one of the best companion bot makers? Its like a dream.

[@AskTorin]

The guys were a menace, absolutely fantastic work

[@theavera9ejoe]

Grinning like a madman that was incredible

[@codyphillips1821]

This was fantastic to watch, I would very much like to see more junk drawer challenges

[@mr-huggy]

You need to do this at the finals this year.

[@TinySwanGrandAdventures]

More of this Misfit Mayhem please!!

[@PenguinTime7183]

This looks so so fun! Would love to participate one day if these become an event 👍

[@Anoyus]

Love it!

[@Sandata64RD]

Bring this back please.
