this is why duck is the funniest bot in this whole competition. this fight was basically the school bully giving you a beating and then immediately falling down the stairs.
The producers need some kinda blame over the decision to let this floor be used this year, cobalt should have been allowed to be unstuck from the floor as it wasn't its own or its opponents influence that caused it to become stuck.
There are a ton of rules in Robot Wars that really should be on Battlebots. One thing I really hate is no tap outs. They could even make it something like, no tap out until the halfway mark if they're so worried about views.
How tf did that duck robot win after getting sent flying so many times and losing pieces. The other guys must have been so disappointed losing after dominating
@@Theprophet3928 Bro was absolutely annihilating Duck and then got stuck on the floor at the worst moment bruh. They were actually pretty chill about it too which is surprising since I probably would've been mad AF if I did all that just to lose to ground clearance problems.
Need y'all to remember Deep Six has the win for most destructive bot by proxy, the reason its design didn't come back into the game after some time is because it was too damaging to the arena itself, not a lot of other bots can say they've been banned because they're too violent
I don’t get it. In another fight witch doctor vs Minotaur 2021, witch doctor also got stuck but wasn’t counted out. Judges allow them to reset. Why is this treated differently? That’s just so unfair
And if Cobolt just held on for a little longer could have won this thing hands down. It's almost like Cobalt's flipper got stuck under one of the floor plates (maybe it did).
The video is good good quality and very entertaining. It's the judges or the rules that suck. The floor snags the best bot and it looses after ripping the other bot apart.... Somehow this is just not the right outcome and everyone watching knows it duck just lost is the looser but on the judges score card has a win. This is why people don't side with the judges... Just saying you know it just look at the video.
I'm firmly on the side that Cobalt got robbed by bad luck in this fight That being said the floor is a hazard and if your bot design can get stuck on it that's kinda tough luck, look at Endgame v Ripperoni, Endgame literally got stuck in the killsaw slots at the beginning of the match and it lost because its design made it far too easy for it to happen, that's just the game
@@BigFatWedge Man, if the duck flap did something then it might be a better bot, but man, how long does someone make the same useless bot and just refuses to change it...
one of the many reasons why i wont build and send a robot to these competitions.. the floors are just pathetic and can cause issues like this.. robot wars is even worse because that arena is utter dog shite
That beak weapon is completely useless. I have never seen it used effectively. Its shape makes it almost impossible to lift anything. Only a small change (widening and flattenning) would make a huge difference without sacrificing the iconic look.
Damn. What a bs ending to an amazing fight. I've never downvoted a BattleBots or Robot Wars video ever, but I think I will this one. No offense to the uploader.
they use the kinetic energy of others bots against themselves by stopping their weapons with the beak. All of that energy goes back into the robots and can break them
“Duck is just sitting there looking at him…oh wait he can’t, he doesn’t have a face” - announcer guy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
chris rose
Duck doesn't even have a strategy beyond survivability and sheer willpower, my goodness...
Break the other guys weapon by making them hit it against a steel box several times
this is why duck is the funniest bot in this whole competition. this fight was basically the school bully giving you a beating and then immediately falling down the stairs.
Classic example of a Pyrrhic victory - won the match but darned near got destroyed in the process.
That was one lucky duck.
duck: *does nothing*
*wins*
Luigi does nothing and wins
This is like the Simpsons episode where Homer is a boxer and gets beat up till his opponents get tired and then he wins.
YES 😂
Literally Duck!'s strategy
But DUCK! Is Moving, Without His Face! It's A DUCK! Only A Mother Could Love!
Those hits...omg I was just reeling in the sound of those hits, ripping his beak off was just satsifying
The "sound" of those hits is a dubbed-over and much-used sound effect.
Well that's dissapointing if that's true.
@@Starkiller5121 Go and check out a battlebots vid that is "line cut" that only has audio from the box. The sound difference is immense.
Combat logs:
Duck’s wedge has been removed.
*Cobalt was slain by floor.*
Duck wins!
This is almost a hikaru poems
an amazing fight ruined by the floor.
The producers need some kinda blame over the decision to let this floor be used this year, cobalt should have been allowed to be unstuck from the floor as it wasn't its own or its opponents influence that caused it to become stuck.
When you run a low wedge that's the risk you carry. So yes it was cobalts own faulty design.
strategy and design
@@garryoak It can't be a design flaw when a broken floor wasn't in the list of hazards before the tournament.
@@DeAtHaToMiC88 That's the risk of running a low wedge, stop crying about it.
@@garryoak It isnt though, because a broken piece of floor from another fight isnt a feature of the battlebox.
1:40 Despite being de-faced and thrown about, it's still moving. How's "Darned-near Unbreakable Combat Kontraption" for a backronym ?
You mean acronym
@@MasterOfViewership It's called puns
That shouldn’t have counted. It was the arena that broke, not the robot. In Robot War, they would’ve stopped the fight and fixed then continued.

Have you read the rules?
They specifically say the floor may not be flat. So you need to adjust for it
The bot showed no movement. If you don't move, you get 15 seconds. no movement is no movement
Now thats what I call "Flipping The Bird"
How tf did that duck robot win after getting sent flying so many times and losing pieces. The other guys must have been so disappointed losing after dominating
Simple, Cobalt got stuck in a upturned piece of the floor and couldn't move.
The floor seams were particularly bad that year.
Well DUCK! could’ve been like the New Orleans Saints of the Battlebots. 😔
Duck won by luck and Cobalt lost by bad luck.
Cobalt lost by bad duck
Cobalt lost by floor
Cobalt lost by floor
Plucky ducky lucky. Cobalt stuck.
Luck is real. It comes in two forms.
Duck: Your fist will get tired before my face does.
Though honestly, that is the definition of winning on luck.
Duck, its face ripped off: I didn't hear no bell
I think DUCK! became cursed after this fight. It never won again.
As it should be, Cobalt got robbed tenfold.
@@seanprice6049how can a knockout loss be a robbery?
@@Theprophet3928 Bro was absolutely annihilating Duck and then got stuck on the floor at the worst moment bruh. They were actually pretty chill about it too which is surprising since I probably would've been mad AF if I did all that just to lose to ground clearance problems.
Sitting duck! 🦆👍
Duck is the strongest bot ever built defensively and Cobalt is the best bot ever built offensively.
I think gruff might have a durability edge against duck it's heavier and also packs those nasty flamethrowers
@@Lootz_n_Scootz Biggest Defense = DUCK
Biggest Offense = Son of Whyachi
I think that icewave is better than cobalt
Need y'all to remember Deep Six has the win for most destructive bot by proxy, the reason its design didn't come back into the game after some time is because it was too damaging to the arena itself, not a lot of other bots can say they've been banned because they're too violent
If Cobalt was stuck in the flooring, why did not they suspend the fight & free him up.
Not a rule in this companies production.
"Good evening everyone! Today cobalt fights the floor, with killsaws and hammers and dents! Oh, and, btw, duck is the floor's minibot!"
When Homer Simpson was a boxers and his opponent would lose by getting tired from punching homer.
Duck didn't win, the floor tile did
1:41 mad diss on duck
I don’t get it. In another fight witch doctor vs Minotaur 2021, witch doctor also got stuck but wasn’t counted out. Judges allow them to reset. Why is this treated differently? That’s just so unfair
It's because both got stuck here it was just one
Arthur Weasley: Harry!... What is the function of the battle robot duck?
Love those surprise victories!
Duck loses the battle but wins the war
He should’ve named it Lucky Duck.😅
(Sits in Shame Corner for bad puns)
That’s one lucky mother ducker
(Gives you a cookie and pats your head) there you go
And if Cobolt just held on for a little longer could have won this thing hands down. It's almost like Cobalt's flipper got stuck under one of the floor plates (maybe it did).
Aand that’s what happens when you go against a durability bot. That’s all :D
Man, I thought duck was gonna be flying south.
That was Ducking Awesome!!!!
It’s such a huge show of strength to break the most durable bot in the sport

Whiplash gets to stop fights and unstick themselves. It's weird when this TV show bends the rules for certain teams.
I'm firmly on the side that Cobalt got robbed by bad luck in this fight

In BattleBots 2019
I feel like this is bad sportsmanship on ducks behalf
If I was duck with no weapon I would've done the same thing! 🎉
Kenny: OH!!!
That was great. Really shows how survivability is paramount to this game.
Colbalt was 100% robbed in this one
Duck is still one of if not the worst bots.
People will get RBF reading this comment
@@BigFatWedge Man, if the duck flap did something then it might be a better bot, but man, how long does someone make the same useless bot and just refuses to change it...
@@BigFatWedgeIt's a lifter bot
Cobalt was vicious
Duck honestly pisses me off as a robot. It bores me to death and does nothing :/
Duck is one of the strongest bots
No just no, it cant do any damange for themsefs thery just wins by luck
So he lost literally cuz their floor is broken
one of the many reasons why i wont build and send a robot to these competitions.. the floors are just pathetic and can cause issues like this.. robot wars is even worse because that arena is utter dog shite

but witch doctor got stuck this year and immediately the fight was stopped to assist
That was Ducking bullshit
Lets see who the wins 1,000 dollar robot vs shover robot
Lucky Duck 😁
Duck is Bot Rocky!
Unfair
Wioooooooooow
Duck got destroyed, and sill won. What a crock.
A destroyed bot does not have controlled movement. DUCK! had that.
Sucks to go the distance and lose the race.
Damnnnnnnnn
Duck duck away!!
Damn. What a bs ending to an amazing fight. I've never downvoted a BattleBots or Robot Wars video ever, but I think I will this one. No offense to the uploader.
The moral of the story is to win in Battle Bots, you bot has to be able to move for three full three minutes.
Duck falls into the "Stupid" category of bot. It has no weapon and counts on pure dumb luck to win. No point in even putting it into the arena.
It's meant to be a lifter, like Bronco. It just doesn't have enough of a wedge nor the oompf to do it properly.
Its durable, and besides its supposed to have the same mechanics as blip and slammow
they use the kinetic energy of others bots against themselves by stopping their weapons with the beak. All of that energy goes back into the robots and can break them
And it's design this year is just awful, the lifter gets destroyed in a single hit by any spinner.
Duck winning like that is the greatest just dominance of will you can see. You may break my bones...uh bill but you can't break my spirit
2:06 Cobalt stops moving
2:31 10-second countdown starts
.... wow
Cobalt won. That decision was Bull Crap.
It didn’t go to a decision cobalt got knocked out Bc of the floor, kinda stupid since cobalt not duck did it.
Cobalt was cheated that was bullshit
Duck has not a weapon
Robbed
1:27
Duck is the best worst bot
That's the risk of running a low wedge. Stop crying about it.
I hate Duck.
Why?
Yes i hate it too, is a bot that cant do anything for themselfs just wining by luck
The announcers ruined this show...
Mute it. I like them.
