[H1dd3nBow]

[icb24]

Too bad the UFO looking one can't get off the ground.

[wizardguy5674]

3 ppl lost

[blacktryst]

the pumpkin is UNBEATABLE

[mechbot9971]

5:24 really? lol

[Naney39100]

3 watchers are robots...

[ZRGuillermo]

That spinning flaming pile of crap was a pile of crap

[mechbot9971]

@ZRGuillermo you mean the heineken keg? lol

[Robloxoel]

barrel rolling bot

[Benjamin72227]

too bad projectiles are forbiden

[inthaniak]

good start, but no idea why you got 5 mins of this silly pumpkin nerd in there :)

duno what made him go for the balloon but it's more than just boring ^^

[Bonersoup808]

worst camera man ever

[krazeekooladam]

Entanglement device :)

[MrPizzaman09]

What is the name of the robot at 0:52 ? It is really good and it looks like it is made of carbon fiber based on its fight with the mortician.

[Toxictorch]

@MrPizzaman09 3months old, but that robot is VD5 of Team Think Tank. Mostly Kevlar, the carbon fiber on the outside is just for looks.

[MrPizzaman09]

@Toxictorch Thanks for the response, I thought it was an awesome robot, especially after some of the really hard hits it took. I built my 15lb robot with carbon fiber armor b/c it was so strong/ lightweight.

[geoknox]

4:30 lol pumkin head

[Plusle843]

@geoknox only child...

[sparkey989]

Man, Phrisbee NEVER dies.

[sparkey989]

lol the pumpkin bot lol

[Penguinmenace]

the robot with the pumpking cloak needs a massive hammer so when it traps an opponent all you see is a movement in the pumpkin and a whacking sound and its game over. =p

[amishdude8595]

cool man

[Pacober1]

3:31 owned!!!

[napolihuhn]

are there robogames in germany ?

[Omnigeek6]

No, but there might be a different robotic combat event there.

[baraki808]

the pumkin is a very powerful weapon it cloaks the robot and traps the enimy by tangeling his body that pumkin ROKS!!!

[gotyx1]

although, it fails <.<

[Omnigeek6]

But it's against the rules.

[Plusle843]

@baraki808 it would be useful for pumpkin to discard the baloon after the enemy is traped

[baraki808]

yes I wonder when r the disign of the battlebots gonna change???

[MacB3atz]

Better soundtrack: terminator..... oldies but goodies

[mythbuster128]

stupid pumpkin

[gonhop]

Camera person needs to learn how to zoom out

[cybernut509]

@gonhop normally cameras with recording abilities do not offer zoom while recording....

[charlylex]

estan cabrones!

[bfayer]

those bots really haven't evolved int he past 5 years, all wedges and spinners, the one with the inflatable thing was awesome though, really good idea!

[mene1in]

Only problem to the pumpkin robot is that they forgot to put in a release mechanism to let itself free of its own weapon!

[iceboyj7]

these vids are really cool. My cousin and uncle went with the akron team.

[HyzerGlen]

great videos 5/5, thanks for getting them up so fast as well

Boilerbot - i sent you a message about counter revolution ;)

[boilerbots]

"Counter Revolution" at 1:58

[teamrobomaster]

Great!

[PrivateSlacker]

The choice of music is wierd.

Gives no sense of the damage and mayhem and comedy

[sookmyfeet]

can you suggest a better soundtrack to this video?

[roidroid]

and run the risk of having it muted for licensing issues?

[WarMachine070]

that robot at 0:46 looks like SUBLIME from battlebots!!

[dtrobotics]

Thats probably because both Sublime and that robot (named Kassinator) Where built by the same person, me =)

[MrPizzaman09]

I have had some fights some with both of my robots :) It is so much fun, especially when you can set up two super high speed weapons at the perfect angle.

[k166a]

That giant pumpkin at the end was awesome. Great strategy.

[rppagan]

Where is the fight of besta against pipe wrench?? That was aewsome!!

[Headbanger142]

Horray for flame-throwing Beer Barrel of Death!

[battlebotsboy]

His name is Beer Bash.

[goldgrif]

cool

[bachura]

my favorite was that fire throwing barrel

great move at 2:45

what happened at 1:17?

[sparkey989]

[Subsanek]

[Halomainaic1234]
