is there somewhere i can get a description of their specs? these fights are awesome, but i'm still not sure exactly what Whoops is doing. does it have a Taser on it?
Dude, why the heck didn't they stop the fight when told to? These are both highly experienced roboteers, I'd think they would recognize the danger and importance of listening to the refs.
It's just badly organized, the drivers are essentially encased in fans and can't hear a damn thing. On top of that they don't have anyone on standby to talk to them.
@@MsSomeonenew no. I choose to believe the noble whoops stopped and then the vile Brazil bot ignored the refs and continued to assault the defenseless bot. Not caring for the safety of others at all. Truly he is disgusting. I mean really, what are the odds that some guy surrounded by fans and deafening hunks of metal crashing into each other wouldn't hear the guy speaking a different languag over an intercom. Really.
@@D.Jay. Or maybe he didn't hear what was being said? People who were there stated the speakers were facing away from them and the crowd was very noisy.
Econ Ecoff If I remember correctly, robots without an active weapon were banned at one time because they weren’t very entertaining to watch. I believe that the plough can also lift (that’s certainly the case in later versions of the same robot). Although the robot is predominantly a pusher, the small amount of lift that the plough can give is often enough to get some of the opponents drive wheels off of the floor. Less wheels on the floor means less traction and/or less steering capability. This is a huge advantage to a pusher bot. Obviously there’s a huge down side to to fork bits and you pointed that out perfectly.
The only other time something happened like this, last rites launched a bit names mosquito into the lights and took a set of lites off. (Remember these things weigh around 180 pounds)
Fkk that ain't fair. Let's see nxt time till how long one can survive. Will it be: Trolling beat out duck Heavy minatour's horns It was lime Hell in a Cell ,where duck was thrown in chains. Remember duck have already fkkd up tombstone and cobalt. So,no need to be happy
Can you imagine how boring a fight like Whoops v Whoops would be. Two boxes bumping into each other doing nothing for minutes on end. So good to see boring bots like Whoops loose to interesting bots like Touro. I wish you HAD to have an effective weapon to enter. Duck is just as bad. Whoops can't really win anything its dependant on the other bot losing which is super lame.
Whoops is dependent on the impact of it hitting the other robot. If a spinner hits something too hard, it hurts the spinner which is what whoops' main strategy is.
@@howlongismydesign Exactly its dependant on the other guy losing. A bot should able to attack as well which makes it a much more interesting and actually effective. Like Bigger Brother from robot wars. Two bigger brothers up against each other would be a good fight, two whoops would be boring. Even though Whoops has a clever strategy for a bot in theory it's like winning a sword fight by waiting for the other guy to die of old age rather than by ability. Not very chivalrous
The NERC 30 pound "Sportsman" Class requires that robots have an active weapon. KE spinners are also banned. (Sawblades are not considered KE spinners.) It has some quite interesting designs and good fights.
They want to bring in the wwe sort of crowd, and it typically leads to more consistantly entertaining fights which is what they chose instead of having the occasional chance of having static wedge vs static wedge.
They ARE! Wedge bots consistently win against non-wedge bots, which, if you allow robots with just good wedges on them, leads to a system of JUST wedgebots. Do you have any idea how boring it is to just watch two bots with no weapons push each other, much less all of the bots in the tournament be those push bots?
Parallaxus fun fact, its not just wedge bots. And to me its boring if the wedges are slow or theyre unskilled. and no it doesnt, if thats the case original sins record would be completely flawless, as it has one of if not the best driver of all time. Also there should be an active weapon rule on tv, its tv, i understand that, but the season 2 rules leave only spinners as things that kill spinners (bots like sewer snake/stinger and beta being the only exceptions) lose because shoving, and if they lose their weapon they better hope that the opponents weapon doesnt touch them for most of the fight, or they lose.
W should have rammed TM at full speed. Tapping spinners won't do it. You have to make them fly via their own power to have a chance. Otherwise, they'll just grind you down bit by bit. Ramming is hard on your own bot, but if want to win against spinners, there's little other choice other than hope their batteries fry or spinner jams, but that's only gives you about a 10% chance of victory. (Their spinner dying doesn't guarantee you a victory alone.) Ram or lose.
Ryan, If you ram 2 bots together quick, something is going to break on at least one fairly soon, even if it's not the main weapon. A spin bot has more things to break than a ram-bot, giving the ram-bot better odds. And the ram-bot has more room to pad its guts because it has no weapon to wire up.
I wish robot combat was more popular. The engineering that goes into these bots is absolutely amazing. I wonder what keeps this from becoming more main stream?
Since it deals with technology it gets dismissed as a geek hobby.

"STOP THE FIGHT!"
Touro: "nah.."
Bot gets almost thrown through bulletproof glass and it's front hanging off, and is like "I can go a few more rounds"
I could do this all day.
We it IS Hal Rucker’s work

Consider how powerful these machines are becoming, you have to ask if the protective barriers they're using is thick enough.
I LOVE Touro's designs holy crap the power on that drum.
1:52 That was one of the most awesome things I’ve ever seen in Robot combat history!!
great angle for this fight
hik
:0
So this is pretty much Minotaur vs Duck, right?
Even better, its 2 basically identical bots made by the same people that made minotaur and duck but are legally distinct because ABC owns their robots names and likeness due to scummy legal bs.
1:52 Whoops
I COMENTED THAT SAME THING!!!!
Whoops was empty
Tauro yoted
@@jetwing9463BOO
So fun to see the prototypes of Duck and Minotaur.
Such power from that drum motor. Anybody know what motor do they use on that?
ngentotsemua custom starter motor
intresting stuffs wasnt it two custom motors or was that the old one
Touro Maximus: can't break the bulletproof glass of the arena? Ok, I'll break the frame of the arena.
What attack does the orange one have? Just a plow?
Yep! That robot beat the heavyweight version of tombstone
A plow and Newton's 3rd.
Yup.. that makes it less interesting in my personal opinion..
I like RoboGames the best. No nonsense. Just bots fighting without interference from "house bots" or pits or any other style over substance horseshit.
I agree; I just wish the commentary in this fight was louder. I am blind, so I can only follow what the commentators are saying.
potterfan392 ?
I'm not offended. I have a talking program on my laptop.
potterfan392 that is incredible. Do you enjoy the fights? Whoops’s defense plate got ripped from it body.
Battlebots has nothing like that...
Woah! Whoops! Just got sent flying... Looked like Duck battling Bronco... In Battlebots.
2:53 I'm tired, don't bother me. I just want to relax
3:18 just LET ME ALONE!
That was awesome
Whoops still did great despite what happened. Much props to them!
finally minotaur vs duck!, Oh wrong video
I would love to see Original Sin competing in battlebots
Free Shipping is basically Original Sin with a forklift bolted on.
they say "a breach in the wall", what breach?
Did you see the little pieces falling of the wall when the bot hit it?
I think those were hildinge the walls up
That is one dangerous robot there , I don't remember seeing that robot losing .
Nahid Bepari Watch Bombshell vs Minotaur. The robot is from the same team and it had 30 more pounds of armor.
T. Max has lost to several robots before (although it wins more than it loses).
Is Touro Maximumus made by the same guy who made Minotaur?
Both are made by team RioBotz.
this fight is basically duck vs minotaur
@@nicovidales153 yes a fight i want to see
@@nicovidales153, you can see Duck's owner with his daughter across the box on the left.
Nico Mr.sharky5 except without a beak
You'd think they have an RF kill-switch on a separate frequency, designed to blow a fuse in case of an emergency.
STOP THE FIGHT!
Touro: No I don't think I will.
Yeah, turns out yelling to someone in English, when they don't speak a lot of it, ain't the best thing. That's why they need arena lighting.
Hahahaha that was awesome he kept attacking him haha
Where is this event from?
Pleasanton, California
TeamVelocity thanks
👍

Is duck vs minotaur
all fair in love and robot destruction.
Daniel Dyer Unless the only thing between them and the spectators is shattered glass, yeah.
HOLY SHIT
1:52 What fell?
The little strips that fell down were wooden shims used during assembly of the arena.
Minotaur vs duck lol

Here is some more info on Whoops: www.halrucker.com/whoops.html
Whoops is a weaponless bot. I always enjoy seeing the weaponless bots ripped to shreds.
TF1Akrata tazers and tazer like weapons are not allowed
Whoops took a lickin' and it kept on tickin'.
Yeah that's because whoops was made to withstand anything it was literally made out of a titanium brick
This just DUCK! Vs Minotaur Right
Lol this is so fun to watch just the way where the orange thing was running away from the fucking other thing
Whoops! is a very fucking strong bot.
Minotaur vs. Duck

@@wishusknight3009 whoosh, my dude.
Touro Maximus looks similar to Minotaur.
That’s because they’re built by the same team and are virtually identical apart from the paint.
@@TeamVelocity Does minotaur have any extra weight over toro to meet the 250 pound limit? Or is he fighting 30+ lbs underweight?
Minotaur is 30 pounds heavier I believe. I think the top and bottom plates are heavier for the Killsaws in BattleBots.
1:50 whoops!!!
Touro should have parked behind the wedge. XD
Yeah like “Hey thanks for loaning me your plow. Nahhh never mind…ill keep my spinner”.
Why did the people t-pose at the end of the first fight?
They were indicating the drivers to stop the fight
nah man they were t posing
@@Deloooon huh I guess the only thing I can say is keep your opinions to yourself also did you watch the latest season of battlebots
yes
Why does the plow have notches on it? Seems that's a fatal mistake; gives leverage spots to spinner blade.

RoboGames heavyweights are 220 pounds.

YES! Duck! might have a chance against Tombstone!
That version of duck actually beat the heavyweight version of tombstone (Last rites vs whoops)
@@aaronrosner8446 Battlebots is the heaviest class. Tombstone is heavier than last rites.
what's "whoops!" weapon ?
A Wedge. Not a wepon. He Smashes people, and pushes. look up whoops vs last rites. thats how he fights.
robogames minotaur vs robogames duck
Fkk that ain't fair. Let's see nxt time till how long one can survive. Will it be:

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

are these controlling themselves?
No, they are driven remotely. You can see the drivers behind the far wall of the arena.

Okay first off that is obviously Minotaur from BattleBots
Touro maximus and minotaur are both made by the same team
Simple is better......
no "house robots" etc
