@@bacon9846 seriously? whoever has the lowest wedge without getting stuck on the floor wins. there's plenty of other factors at play but if I'm remembering right they are fairly similar in their maneuverability so whoever wins the wedge war has a MASSIVE advantage.
Actually, there's a pretty good chance that the BattleBots fight selection committee might make that happen. Neither bot occupies a 'special' position in the general scheme of things. To wit: both are expendable.
They were actually suppose to in battlebots 2019 (it was revealed in a Facebook video on the battlebots page where trey announced the first 3 session fights) but Brian nave wanted an easier opponent since he was like an alternative or something like that so he switched with subzero so we got cobalt vs subzero and captain shrederator vs wan hoo instead of the other way around. And Dave, the captain of cobalt, called Brian a chicken jokingly because of the switch.
If you're absolutely sure, Joel, you could avoid confusion by making it clear that you really meant what you'd said. So that'd be: "This robot is sick." [sic]. ;-)

I WANT FULL EPISODES OF THIS... Dammit, China, stop being so self centered and let us watch your robot fighting shows internationally.. at least these ones, you know, back when you guys still allowed international competitors.. before it became clear that since people from other countries kept winning, you were embarrassed by it, and stopped letting them compete at all...
All of King of Bots was uploaded on UA-cam by the channel that aired it, as was This is Fighting Robots. You also exaggerate a bit, the international competitor thing was a limit, not a full ban on them, and was enforced by the CCP, not the showrunners. I'm not sure there was a single such show without international competitors of any kind during the very brief stint robot combat existed in China for.
@@Matt-cn2nn also, no, this show still airs to this day, they've just squandered all foreign involvement, having ONLY Chinese competitors and nothing else.
@@Frosty_tha_Snowman I looked it up and immediately found an episode with Tungsten. Dunno if it's region blocked where you're at but it's fine for me in the UK. And are you sure about King of Bots still airing? Because last I heard, the producer himself said they ran out of money, cancelled the show and scrapped the sets and arena.
@@Matt-cn2nn as of 2021, they were still planning on production from what I read, and as of 2019, they stopped allowing international competitors. Also, I've watched every single upload of King of Bots that I could find, and the only thing I found with Tungsten was some 15 minute long fight compilation that had 1 Tungsten fight in it. That is it. I've explored extensively looking for more episodes. I don't know, but I have a hard time finding them. Not speaking Chinese also doesn't help..

If there was any team that I would want to win the big three, it would be Team Carbide.
That hammer might actually be pretty useful in battlebots
It can’t do any damage but it would probably be a decent shrimech
And self righter
@@ponkypink3389 that’s what shrimech means
@@rycorobotics747 oooh ok
RyCo Robotics what’s a self lefter called?
I thought that was the only purpose for it? I think the axe head was just for looks, not meant to actually be a weapon at all
thought cobalt's team specifically mentioned aftershock as their main inspiration.
I can definitely see the resemblance though.

@@evernewb2073 now that both teams are Competing next year (maybe) what happens if they face each other?

Here I am just browsing combat robot stuff, and I come across the Rapture rocking it out. F' yea
Wait you heard music? Where?!
(Tungsten vs Shrederator Tiger Claw) Now I want to see Cobalt V2 fight Captain Shrederator.

You mean Captain Shredderated
@@RennieAsh No. On the Battlebots website, it’s spelled “Captain Shrederator”.
@@Lumakid100 No. Because it would have been "Shredderated" by Cobalt.
At 1:26 that camera man was not impressed with dave swearing lol!
The arena design is so good
Thanks for introducing me to This Is Fighting Robots!
I love this song
To borrow some lines from the irate granny in [Frank Zappa's] Joe's Garage - "I'm calling the police!" and: "Don't you boys know any nice songs?" ;-)
This robot is sick
yes

It also got one-shotted by End Game!
@@NK-qn6pq When? Are you mixing it up with Cobalt?
We should get Cobalt vs Blade in this year of Battlebots
Tungsten cobalt carbide
I couldn’t hear the battle audio very well, there was some squealing screeching noise through the whole video along with some pots and pans sounds
i designed tungsten on lego without knowing that tungsten already exists
Can someone tell me what the name of the white flipper with a strange eye in the middle
Tanshe, from the Beta team!
@@bloopersphoof2874 Why did they chose a flipper instead of a hammer?

@@bloopersphoof2874 Ah thanks
2:25 is that minotar?
No
Looks similar, but is some random DarUMM Spinneargh!!
what show is this?
The show "This Is Fighting Robots"
Ok thanks
@@bloopersphoof2874 uh also whats the song?
@@gweny7516 song is Echoes by the rapture.

You're so different, *carbide* ....
how u get rights to use misfits music?
That pink robot looks like minotaur
So the theme is metal
the bite force of chinese battlebots
I cant believe they scraped carbide for this
They didn't scrap carbide for this they just made a new robot.
Although it was slightly modified into 2016 cobalt I believe but then changed back for 2017 of robot wars
