@@AusSkillerFire is only effective if u can sustain it to a single point or can actively ignite ur opponent, otherwise most dmg it causes is superficial
I honestly really don't like axes as a weapon. I don't think I've ever seen an axe do any really effective damage, other than some light dings on the surface finish. There's a reason you don't cut steel industrially by using quick hits, you use sustained power at a low speed, like with steel shears. Something that has a pair of cylinders at the front to pull down on the axe and give it more power would be ideal, but at that point you've got a pincer, which have proven to be very effective in the past (Razor springs to mind). I wouldn't have expected the flame here to do very well, but they had it going super hot, and the grabbing system allowed them some serious sustained burning time, which is something you don't tend to get with flames as much. I was somewhat expecting the batteries to pop, though I guess they are well protected and not in the front of the robot
Steel punch presses would like to have a word with you ;) Punching steel is how most sheet steel is formed besides plasma cutters (which leave nasty edges) and waterjet cutters. Most axes don't have the purpose to poke holes (besides a few useless designs) but use impact force to shock the internals of the enemy robot, damaging bearings and electronics or at least shaking loose battery connectors. Trying to puncture holes with an axe can work, but you'd need to do that with the right enemy robot, not just any.
@@someguy4915 dont punch presses do a lot of force slowly, using hydraulics or similar? And we already know that works (or used to work anyway) from Razer. Axes are more trying to chop than the shearing or piercing action of a press. Wouldn't a hammer be more effective than an axe at doing internal damage? Using something big and heavy to get a large momentum transfer
@@amyshaw893 Depends, some punch presses use relatively slow hydraulic force, others faster mechanical force using a flywheel. But yeah I'd absolutely take a hammer over an axe as a robot weapon. The axe can just get stuck while the hammer can keep hitting the enemy robot.
Walking chomp used one effectively, but yeah it's a real design challenge to get one with enough force to puncture in today's heavily armored, high speed bots. Which is a shame, as they're always cool af when they do finally work.
It looks like the flames in the latest series of BattleBots are less hot and more for show? Am I right? From science class I remember being told the blue flame is the hottest.
Yeah that's what I've thought when I saw some examples of it. Complete Control's flamethrower however is one of best ones I've seen so far. The fire was much more concentrated compared to the others with a much wider spread. That in turn worked really well with their strategy and actually did some damage.
@@atherifat3889 Blue fire is "hotter" because it means there's more oxygen. However the fire is not blue because it's hot, it's simply hot for the same reason it's blue. They do not affect each other.
Man that was awesome but, I wonder how it would do against a spinner? Would it just keep getting hammered by a spinner and complete control wouldn't be able to grab it??
It feels like fires effective when you can sustain contact with it for an extended period, before the bot has any time to escape and let their internal parts cool off
Horisontal spinners tend to do extremely well, And its hard to grab them when their entire front is weapon, Fire also doesn't tend to be very effective unless sustained for long periods of time like this was,
@@nacl4988 Yeah, I get that. Can definitely be done though - just look at the 2015 final. There are also a surprisingly small amount of horizontal spinners really compared to vertical ones. I'm just very surprised this design was only really tried once pr twice.
Grabbing people who don't want to be grabbed, is really hard. You need to get under them *Which most bots already try to do*, Then secure them, Then lift them. The securing part is really hard, Since they will likely try to drive away
Complete control demonstrating that for a flame to be effective it needs to be on the same area, continuously spraying. A control, grappling bot like that, perfect weapon for when you can’t swing something, nose to nose right in Bombshells circuits.
@@bongoman9578 lol. What I meant is that they edit it that way because of how UA-cam functions. That way when UA-cam shows the preview people get some immediate action instead of whatever is at the actual start of the video. Trailers are often uploaded like that too. People have very little attention these days so this way they are grabbed immediately.
No, it's listed as prohibitive weapons: The following weapon types are not allowed under any circumstances: • Fouling devices such as glue, nets, fishing line, ball bearings and such. • Squirting liquids or liquefied gasses such as liquid Nitrogen. • EMP generators or other means intended to damage or jam the opponent bot’s electronics. • Deliberate smoke generators. • Bright lights, lasers, etc., that are distracting or dangerous to vision. • Weapons that damage the other bot by destroying themselves
The drone didn't do anything. Why cut away from the actual action to focus on it? Was the director or editor having an off day? Please, concentrate on the main fight.
''Complete control has complete control over Bombshell''
Poetic genius right there..
More poetic when complete control is the one being controlled
Bombshell Axe weapon :
Looks cool : ✓
Effective : abseloutely NOT
That's what I used to say about fire though ;)
True
@@AusSkiller it's still useless ..this the best example ..cause this is one of 10000 where it actually did something
basically most axe/hammer in battlebots
@@AusSkillerFire is only effective if u can sustain it to a single point or can actively ignite ur opponent, otherwise most dmg it causes is superficial
My favorite fight of them all, the damage the flame does and it spitting oil is really cool
This fight along with complete control v warhead are absolute highlights.
I would like to see the most effective drones in battlebot history.
But then that would be a 0 second video
Poison arrow and subzero would like to have a word with you
Aha, hahaha! You're funny :D
*Insert rake here
poison Arrow's drone has ruined hypershock's Drive train. Than poison Arrow easily wins in season 2
Adam Savage as one of the judges? And an epic fight? Definitely candidate for best episode
I heard a comment that if anything fun and nerdy is happening, Adam Savage will be there.
@@NothernSidewhat a savage xd
the few drones i've seen all of em have been useless. They honestly shouldn't be added to the weight. 10 drones would destroy themselves vs 1 bot tbh
Yeah I agree. Also the drones need some way to stick to the enemy robot in order to actually cause damage
I think that, they're are useless but a part of the show,
There was that one time SubZero's drone accidentally tipped Malice on its back end knocked it out, lol.
Spitfire dying was so hilarious to watch though lol
@@alexandriashannon7438 ye, Malice got flipped, recoiled, and it touched Spitfire which tipped it to its back
Imagine if Complete Control's fire is as hot as Gruff's.
right now
It looks to be about the same temperature, gruff just has a whole lot more of it
Thing is, Complete Control has a concentrated Bunsen burner esque flamethrower. Gruff spews out humungous bursts of flames
@@I_aint_active_no_moreI wonder which one is more effective…
complete control : " EMPTY THE CLIP! EMPTY THE CLIP!!!"
2:55 on top of complete control you can just see the damage the fire did
Imagine complete control with gruff's flamethrower
It's always good to remember this.

Axe is not effective because it requires precise timing and grab to actually have an attack. A high speed flip up will be way more effective.

In my best Brad Pitt voice.... 'What's in the box..., what's in the box'
Would love to get to know you better if that’s cool with you
The box was empty, watch complete control v ghost raptor to understand why the box is there :)
Drones are waste of resources in BB. I have never seen a useful drone in the arena. They are mostly for added effect, but is it worth the cost?
This is really cool guys! I’d like to see the Brazilian one again
There's 2 strong Brazilian robots
Bombshell crew are not happy lol
rare occasion when flamethrower actually do something
This is fight that got me into BattleBots lol
The most satisfying robot fight 😂😂😂😂
Can't wait to see the fights in Canada

The color of the flame depends on what's being burned, not the heat.

Wow. Complete control is in complete control. Very good design of the flamethrower and clamp
ahh the very first video that introduced me to battlebots
Most iconic battle
that was awesome!
that drone is a joke 😂
The "pulverizer" does nothing.
If it hits a spinning weapon it can be bad new.
This battle was Fire!))
Man that was awesome but, I wonder how it would do against a spinner? Would it just keep getting hammered by a spinner and complete control wouldn't be able to grab it??
wait till CC vs Warhead gets uploaded :-)
I just noticed that one of the judges is Adam Savage
I see mYthbusters legend in there! This fight had so much HEAT
Hey, Adam Savage is in judge's booth
Amazing how much fuel for the flamethrower they can fit in that robot.
compressed canisters are a thing, only risk u have is if someone uses a piercing weap and gets a good hit in
Seems a bit pointless to try and build suspense at the end. The result is quite obvious.
Complete Control vs spinning bots like Minotaur It could set an explosion with It fuel tank XD
*uppercut looks away*
I think warhead popped the tank.
Also uppercut vs sawblaze and vs free shipping
That was some excellent Driving from Complete Control! What a Masterclass!
amazing fight🤙🏻
lol who was flying that drone, mr bean?
Nope just a sucky design that doesn't allow the use of a weap when engaged in flight
Name was on point in that match for sure.
Bombshell BBQ! Yum.
The little plant minibot makes the fight 1000% funnier
nice bot design

멋진게임~ 환상적 아이디어❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
因縁の対決
Rip plant
And that is why Bombshell never used that hammer axe again, lol
Pulverizer does nothing. Hammer nothing, screws nothing. They could change the traps for more destructive ones
Best fight of them all.
living up to its name
That Airbot is just embarrassing.
A product of childish Imagination.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻hermoso
stop putting the highlight at the start, so annoying
That's because of how YT works. They won't stop until YT changes.

Then don't watch it lol
Anyone want some burnt bombshell? i got one coming right up
Is it possibe for a bot to spray flammable liquid and blast it with fire?
Maybe but it looks too dangerous
@@penayecyrille9405 will be more efficient though. Drench the enemy with gas and set it on fire.

@@billymentalz3681 nice. Thanks for the info.
How about weapons that electrocute?
nise fiite 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
And the traduction to spanish??? I go out of there!!!
It’s almost like that drone was completely useless
This people from complete control look like bunch of my gym class heroes dude..🤣
Didnt know Adam Savage was one of the judges
I believe a robot with a super glue cannon could be interesting, a kind of spider bot.
I kind of like the drones because it doesnt get damaged
Complete control be like "ill help you move buddy" haha didnt let him just sit
Kenny, Chris, and Faruq are such gems!
Complete control's fire worked as intended because it's not showy like the drone, kinda like how Red devil destroyed Witch doctor
I'm convinced the British robot carbide would have defeated both of those in under a minute.
You do know Carbide competed in this same season under a different name, and lost to Bombshell? 😂
Vs axebombshell maybe, but not vs helicopter bombshell
“Complete control has complete control of bombshell!”
The original English version of this show was so much better and more interesting and powerful bots
battlebots and robot wars have the same root.
This one should be renamed " Complete Control!!!"
Drone and mini-bots are a distraction.
Good spoiler
This battle gonna be epic🔥🔥🔥
When AI takes over it’ll be us in the arena.
2:05 hahaha. I got you now
Sounds like PEKKA
i did not expect to see adam savage on the judges
Where I watch this season?
The drone didn't do anything. Why cut away from the actual action to focus on it? Was the director or editor having an off day? Please, concentrate on the main fight.
The best thing the drone did was crash, letting us watch the actual fight.
amigo parece que el robot esta hecho para matar especificamente a ese otro
0:38 to skip spoilers
STOP ITS ALREADY DEAD
So funny Drone
I would build a drone with an electro magnet, pick up the opponents and drop them from 200 feet.
Magnetic weapons are prohibited in the rules, with the exception of partially magnetized nuisance bots.
ADAM SAVAGE!!! as a judge!
Complete control of the drone 😅
Here you go 2:04
FOR ALL MANKIND
drones are always a joke
Adam savage as a judge! Yes please!
Should rename it as The Toaster 😂
its awesome
This is FIIIIIIIIIIINE!
That was sooooooo coool
This the most epic fight I ever watched from battle bots
Best fight ever❤❤
Good
Literally complete control.
