I realize there’s pretty much no one here at the moment, but I figure if we want to grow a community here we should start some discussions! So what is everyone’s favorite bot? Personally I’m a fan of big horizontals so I love Bloodsport, but I love Tantrum and Blip and their teams, they seem really fun. Also a big fan of Black Dragon, Ribbot, and Valkyrie before this past season when the team really didn’t seem to have it together.

    Vanquish for the beautiful design and that thrill when the teeth sink into their victim.

    Ripperoni because they’re a class act with a perfect theme and an advanced design that absolutely murders.

    Lots of other teams to cheer for too! Not going to list them all, but the best part of Battlebots is the great community and all the people who make an effort to keep it that way.

      Watching Ripperoni was super fun! I hope they come back next season for sure. But yeah I honestly feel like there’s very very few teams I don’t like, the whole community is amazing and all the bots are awesome to watch!

  • I like Shatter because it can move horizontally. I don’t know what disadvantages that comes with but I feel like a lot more of those 4 wheel vertical spinners would do better if their wheels were on the bottom unexposed and they could strafe around stuff.
