there is a approval process to get onto the show.

>then literally the only thing you would see would be spinners bouncing against eachother forever.
yeah and how many seasons has beyblades gone on for? people want to see spinners spin
>the only thing you would see would be spinners bouncing against eachother forever
You mean massive steel beyblades crashing into each other and launch the inferior ones into the walls at 90mph? Maybe sometimes the walls can't contain the carnage and a whirring disk of doom just takes out some spectators?
I don't get it either. You're autistic enough to compete in robot wars and you go for the dumbest build ever. It's not effective nor is it cool. At least flamethrowers are visually fun.
Even better than that, the next year they raised the height of the wall and he competed again, blendo sent shrapnel into the walls so hard that he was asked to pull out and get co-championship a second time.
Also he wanted the exterior to spin at 10,000rpm originally, but all his engineer friends told him that if he could spin it that fast the air around blendo would catch on fire. So he settled for a larger design that only spun at 500rpm.
The Blendo meme is so moronic. It was good when in the extremely early days of 1995-1996 they allowed a bot to spin up before the match started, and everyone was armored in 1mm thick mild steel. When Blendo appeared on the Comedy Central Battlebots it was extremely dated and terrible.
He wanted it to spin at 30k rpm but their physicist friend said it would melt the steel just from the air friction. It’s in the video higher up in the thread with the sister rapist.
Adam seems like the kind of guy who'd have daily Twitter meltdowns over Trump but he just posts an hour long videos about movie props and fabrication machines instead. Glad he hasn't changed a bit since Mythbusters went off the air, rare to see a television personality who doesn't try to parlay their fame into being a sociopolitical commentator.
Not them but it wouldn't surprise me one bit. If you check out his YouTube videos you pick up on his personality defects. Firstly he clearly has some level of OCD by the invisible flecks of dust he constantly has to wipe from his desk. He has tools and items meticulously organized and there are some vids of him clearly annoyed by the fact something isn't where it's supposed to be. Finally if you watch the Mythbusters where they do the electrocution prank on him it's very telling. Tory tests it first and says he thinks it's a bad idea because the shock is way more than expected, you can see how uncomfortable he is when they go through with the prank. Adam keeps it together for the most part but you see his mask slip and it's clear he is furious about the situation. So, OCD+control issues+underlying rage = Probable in regards to the Adam Savage raping myth
>Glad he hasn't changed a bit since Mythbusters went off the air
Don't watch any videos where he talks or read any of his social media posts. As soon as mythbusters ended he cranked his subtle lefty shit to 11.
He's at the level where he will self correct "fireman" into "fireperson" in a video about his crash test dummy. If I remember right he was helping Bill nye with the sex junk Netflix series.
In a video about unfilmable ideas for the show Adam says he always wanted to film the "story" sessions they'd have where the entire team would sit around and just shoot the shit and come up with episodes. Stuff like spitballing segments, the overall presentation, random thoughts on the myth, who they needed to talk to to get things done etc.
The funny part is he also says he's why they never did, because when they tried he clammed up and was too worried and filtered himself. Straight up admits during those sessions he no doubt made a lot of off color comments, dark jokes and just generally said "career ending" shit so with cameras rolling it just stopped all his productivity kek
It's like he over-corrected from being horrified about losing everything.
his gay ideologies do infect tested content often but are never egregious enough to make me unsub. you are wrong about him though, he is a whiny rich shitlib hypocrite and I say that as someone who likes everything else about him and chooses to ignore it. Im sure if you actually followed him on social media or talked to him it would be all about how bad republicans are and how there needs to be more gay pakistani women in coding
>the shit about jamie being obsessed with drills, making drill powered skates and using a drill to start up blendo, precariously standing over sandbags
The Blendo meme is so moronic. It was good when in the extremely early days of 1995-1996 they allowed a bot to spin up before the match started, and everyone was armored in 1mm thick mild steel. When Blendo appeared on the Comedy Central Battlebots it was extremely dated and terrible.
God, the first season (2015) was full of obvious trashbots. Thankfully nowadays 90% of the robots in are actually somewhat well designed and built.
2015 season was suddenly announced at short notice to a bunch of veterans so not everyone had the ability to come up with something in such short time. Lisa's bot there is based on a really old Battlekit Jim Smentowski of Nightmare used to sell (he might still sell them idk). And by old I really do mean very old, those kits have ancient tech in them.
Honestly with the power of those spinning hammers, it wasn't going to make a difference either way. The bot was just made to look interesting and to lose in a way that would make good tv rather than to be effective.

I don't think I understand vaccines, guys. Why do people get so bent out of shape when I don't want one if they already got theirs? There was that measles outbreak in California a while back and vaccinated people laid all the blame on unvaccinated people without stopping to think about why their vaccine didn't protect them.
>measles
Measles virus doesn't change every few months. So we can make a vaccine against it. Measles doesn't change.
A vaccine is only good if the virus does not change or mutate quickly. If a virus does mutate, then the previous vaccine doesn't work. The reason why making vaccines against coronaviruses is a bad idea is because coronaviruses are known mutate very quickly. It's why we can't vaccinate against the common cold virus. It mutates every year. And the recent coronaviruses mutate every few months. So it's pointless.
If you're referring to the outbreak around Santa Cruz from like five or six years back I can help out. They were right to blame anti-vaxxers, the CA Central Coast is full of old hippy 'if it's natural it's good' types, since someone from the area who was unvaccinated brought measles back from another country.
The pain in the ass of is that people being unvaccinated and exposed to measles makes life harder for everyone else, as now there are more people who need treatment, special attention, and sick leave. The real frustrating part is since there's a vaccine whose side effects are well known (the measles vaccine has been in circulation for over something like 40 years), people getting sick from measles is effectively voluntary if they're not vaccinated. The other thing is that vaccines are effective, but they're very rarely 100% effective at stopping disease. The measles vaccine if applied properly makes about 96-97% of people immune to measles, but that's the kicker - even if a person is vaccinated, they're still a small but real chance they'll also get sick. Vaccination is a statistics game and the more people who use it, the more effective it is. With enough population buy in and an effective enough vaccine, diseases can even be eradicated. Smallpox is the most notable example, and measles was eradicated in the US for several years.
The general attitude is that people who refuse vaccines are being dangerously selfish by refusing the vaccine, by willing putting people around them at risk for a disease that's usually preventable. It doesn't help most anti-vaxxers are rabid political extremists, which is not an endearing trait. The whole shitshow with Covid just ramped existing tensions up to 11.
Stop lumping all vacc1nes together. Real vacc1nes were made with extensive studies, research, testing, and tweaking until they got it right. What happened in the last 3 years was the exact opposite of that.
And now they are finally admitting they don't actually work as originally advertised. Not to mention we are finally getting hard data about potential issues.
Only commies use that term. No one who's concern about the harms caused by covid injections makes any claims with reference to "long vaccine". The closest is that "long covid" (another commie conspiracy theory) is actually just someone whose """"vaccine"""" didn't work, they got covid, and then they got """"vaccine"""" injury symptoms later.
That would vary. Sometimes it can stop the virus spreading (it can't get a foothold in your system to replicate and then have you pass it on), other times you won't have symptoms but it grows enough (or is mutated enough) for you to be able to spread it. Vaccines aren't perfect, they do not give a 100% immunity in every single person who gets it. It just helps your shitty as body kill the virus before it's a problem.

why do producers do this? is there not one producer autistic enough to understand there are countless autistic people who would religiously watch a no nonsense show with exclusively robo-collisions?
It would have to have a massive budget and a massive roster since it takes weeks to months to repair a battlebot after a match, depending on the damage.
Why didn't anyone make a robot that launches sticky plastic explosive onto the other robot and when it's on they could detonate it. It would be so kino
That's the original Robot Rage. Shit was fun as hell but it was annoying how all the ranks except the lowest one were dead so you'd just have to keep making new robots if you were too good.

That's not what a spinner means. It's a jargon term within a specific domain. Casually, you can can anything with a main spinning component a spinner. In the context of battling robots, though, a "spinner" has a set definition, restricted to those bots whose main body top-section spins horizontally around, parallel to the ground. Please don't pretend to be informing me of anything, I know more than you.

You learned nothing, your arrogance and pride prevented it. But you were given the chance to learn, yes.
3 types of spinners:
full body spinner
vertical spinners
horizontal spinners
horizontal and verts are best. Full body spinners are for shitters who would rather destroy themselves than their opponents
Razor was fricking robbed. It's one thing to add this cage bullshit to your bot last minute so Razor cant reach, but the fact it was too big to actually fall in the pit was utter nonsense.
Vaccines with 10 year studies do tend to be safe, but gene therapy that is forced through the system three months after development under emergency authorization isn't so safe.
Let's be honest, no one wants scientists or engineers to do their actual best. They just want the same old shit with slightly new features every couple of years so they can feel like they have some "better".
They should make a show where its a cross between robot wars and forged in fire, where they have to compete to make a robot that can kill a human based on certain challenges
So when are we getting gundam fights? I'm tired of these little robots. I want to see 10+ foot tall robots slashing each other with swords already, but real ones, not anime ones.
Yeah robots are cool and all but did you guys see what this dude said about trump? Look at this tweet he said trump bad, isn't that so interesting? If that wasn't good enough I also have LOTS to say about trannies and vaccines. I love talking about trannies.
I only like bots that are one shot killers like pic rel and the latest Son of Whyachi. They have literal troon bots now, do these sick freaks have to ruin EVERYTHING?
Set left side pop. to 0.9 vaxxed; right side to 0.4
Infection rate if NOT vaxxed: 0.6; infection rate if vaxxed: 0.1
Run it a few times, trying different numbers and eventually you'll start seeing little pockets of unvaxxed amongst the majority vaxxed side, and they're kept safe by the walls of vaccinated people around them - that's what herd immunity means.
That trio of unvaxxed amongst the right side pop. in pic related are just lucky SOBs.
I remember this! They put the troony bot against an obvious sucker for an easy win, I believe his name was rusty, literally make with a popcorn bowl and only a screwdriver for a weapon
AND RUSTY WON
Absolute legend, you will never be forgotten RUSTY
In the britbong version there were house bots that were ultra-heavyweights that were over the weight limit, essentially as stage hazards, though they still got murdered on occassion.
I always wished Robot Wars would do a crossover with picrel where teams have to build a fighting bot using junk and then compete in challenges and a head to head fight at the end.
I read the rules for making a robot, and as you might expect, it's just as autistically locked down as the people making these robots to begin with, so I'm guessing flying robots aren't even allowed.

why? just make a spin bot or at least a flipper.
Presumably there's a quota on how many spinners and flippers you're allowed per season to keep things interesting.
there is a approval process to get onto the show.
If all of the bots that were on the show were selected round robin in lower ranks, then literally the only thing you would see would be spinners bouncing against eachother forever.
Except for the occasional flipper that was actually good. like hydra.
>homosexual producers are robbing us of robotic beyblades

Actually I'm pretty sure Beyblades only had like 2 seasons
According to google there are 17 beyblade series (seasons?) and 688 total episodes.

Looking closer, I think that's 4 series with 17 seasons between them (3-4-7-3)

he would look at pic related and say "erm the flammable coating offers no advantage and actually causes survivability issues"
Diotoir was excellent. I like when these shows have a sort of community around them and that factors into the show.
In other words he would actually be good at it.

They were right to blame anti-vaxxers, the CA Central Coast is full of old hippy 'if it's natural it's good' types, since someone from the area who was unvaccinated brought measles back from another country.
The pain in the ass of is that people being unvaccinated and exposed to measles makes life harder for everyone else, as now there are more people who need treatment, special attention, and sick leave. The real frustrating part is since there's a vaccine whose side effects are well known (the measles vaccine has been in circulation for over something like 40 years), people getting sick from measles is effectively voluntary if they're not vaccinated. The other thing is that vaccines are effective, but they're very rarely 100% effective at stopping disease. The measles vaccine if applied properly makes about 96-97% of people immune to measles, but that's the kicker - even if a person is vaccinated, they're still a small but real chance they'll also get sick. Vaccination is a statistics game and the more people who use it, the more effective it is. With enough population buy in and an effective enough vaccine, diseases can even be eradicated. Smallpox is the most notable example, and measles was eradicated in the US for several years.
The general attitude is that people who refuse vaccines are being dangerously selfish by refusing the vaccine, by willing putting people around them at risk for a disease that's usually preventable. It doesn't help most anti-vaxxers are rabid political extremists, which is not an endearing trait. The whole shitshow with Covid just ramped existing tensions up to 11.
>It doesn't help most anti-vaxxers are rabid political extremists
we should really do something about those rabid political extremists! maybe we can re-educate them to be decent fricking people!
>decent fricking people!
i.e. Nazis and fascists (and that's a good thing)
Stop lumping all vacc1nes together. Real vacc1nes were made with extensive studies, research, testing, and tweaking until they got it right. What happened in the last 3 years was the exact opposite of that.
And now they are finally admitting they don't actually work as originally advertised. Not to mention we are finally getting hard data about potential issues.
>Not to mention we are finally getting hard data about potential issues.
And I bet you're able to provide that data on the spot
MUUUUUUUUH LONG VACCINE
Only commies use that term. No one who's concern about the harms caused by covid injections makes any claims with reference to "long vaccine". The closest is that "long covid" (another commie conspiracy theory) is actually just someone whose """"vaccine"""" didn't work, they got covid, and then they got """"vaccine"""" injury symptoms later.
So their vaccines didn't work.
do most vaccines even prevent spread? or are they just preventing symptoms that then cause spread.
That would vary. Sometimes it can stop the virus spreading (it can't get a foothold in your system to replicate and then have you pass it on), other times you won't have symptoms but it grows enough (or is mutated enough) for you to be able to spread it. Vaccines aren't perfect, they do not give a 100% immunity in every single person who gets it. It just helps your shitty as body kill the virus before it's a problem.
You know the vast majority of Cinemaphile is vaccine sceptic and thinks everything you just said is bs, right?
Eh, one or two might learn something. Yea I know this boards become an outpost, sadly.
So they don't work, but buy them anyway.
whats red?
a color
The transmission of the disease
jews
death
The blue dots in your picture are unvaccinated people only. But vaccinated people caught the thing, so what gives?
Mech combat in hyper collosseum when?
The covid vax doesn't prevent transmission. Plus 90% of people got it to begin with yet they kept pushing for more and more to get it.
So the product only works if everyone buys it. Pretty good business model.

There's versions online that skip all the autistic shit and are just 10-15 mins of robot fighting
why do producers do this? is there not one producer autistic enough to understand there are countless autistic people who would religiously watch a no nonsense show with exclusively robo-collisions?
You have to fill the time somehow.
they can do what Deadliest Warrior did and have the robots shred jelly dummies and get the gore everywhere
I'm knida surprised they've never shown robots shredding human stand ins but that would probably take the rating above G
Because if they only showed the fights they'd have 2-3 45 minute episodes per robot fighting season and no network is going to pick that up
The only certain things in life are death, taxes, and there being an audience for reality tv segments.
It would have to have a massive budget and a massive roster since it takes weeks to months to repair a battlebot after a match, depending on the damage.
he should've killed the raping blob when he had the chance
At a certain point it’s not a robot but a bomb.
The only thing that matters is those autistic riptide frickers got thoroughly BTFO
Why didn't anyone make a robot that launches sticky plastic explosive onto the other robot and when it's on they could detonate it. It would be so kino
They have rules for weapons, no explosives and radio jamming are the main ones
I hope he and the other champion had their bots duke it out in the parking lot afterwards, that would be the coolest way to end the movie.
ENTER
what game is this? this is one of my earliest gaming memories
That's the original Robot Rage. Shit was fun as hell but it was annoying how all the ranks except the lowest one were dead so you'd just have to keep making new robots if you were too good.
SOVL
literally not a thing with COVID
LITERALLY
I don't know why the vernacular is still circulating to this day, that covid is over
It was never a thing
herd immunity didn't do shit for covid
Rightoids just can't help themselves
They're correct. That's why they're called the right wing. The left is the wrong wing. Hope this handy mnemonic helps.
bros, he didn't ask about the COVID vax, I was just answering in general, jeezus
I got my heckin epic redditor science juice fauci ouchy and idgaf if a heckin drumpf supporting chuddly wuddly doesn't
>I got my heckin epic redditor science juice fauci ouchy
Trump thanks you for using the thing he pushed out.
>Robot Wars
Battle Bots, you racist chud!
it's good but it's no thermidor
another thread that could have been a cool discussion about based robot wars ruined by insufferable morons
>could have been a cool

That's all of human history
Spinners? What is this, 2006?
...that is a spinner anon
Spinning drum and spinners are very different.
It's literally the exact same thing as any other vertical spinner but the blade is thicker than it is wide.
Incorrect.
it spins at very high speeds to hit things very hard with kinetic energy. it is a spinner moron-kun.
That's not what a spinner means. It's a jargon term within a specific domain. Casually, you can can anything with a main spinning component a spinner. In the context of battling robots, though, a "spinner" has a set definition, restricted to those bots whose main body top-section spins horizontally around, parallel to the ground. Please don't pretend to be informing me of anything, I know more than you.
what? vertical spinners exist moron-kun, and have always been named as such, and "bots whose main body top-section spins horizontally around" is most definitely not the main definition of a spinner, otherwise bots like tombstone wouldn't be even considered a spinner. you're so fricking stupid its unreal.
I already corrected you, go away.
spinner is a general term for any spinning kinetic energy weapon. people use the terms "horizontal spinner", "vertical spinner", "drum spinner", "shell spinner", "ring spinner" etc and always have done. sorry you're moronic.
I feel sorry for your father.
i feel sorry for everyone who has to deal with your know-it-all attitude.
I already took that one, you're just a cheap, lesser copy of me. Enjoy dicks.
Today I learned Valkyrie, Deep Six, Uppercut etc aren't spinners.
You learned nothing, your arrogance and pride prevented it. But you were given the chance to learn, yes.
3 types of spinners:
full body spinner
vertical spinners
horizontal spinners
horizontal and verts are best. Full body spinners are for shitters who would rather destroy themselves than their opponents
looks like a nintendo 64 with a rolling pin
What's the issue here?
Being pro vaccine?
He's being stupid, and acting as though he's being smart.
>other team refers to spork as "him"
lmao
You will never be a real battlebot
tombstonebros....
He's gonna be back next season, and competed in Robogames and Opensauce this year.
How did he fricking lose.
Hey guys, what's going on in this thread?
What else would you expect in a battle bots thread? We're discussing vaccines and transexuals, of course!
>gets stuck on the arena wall
That's the spirit!
Stay classy
Razor was fricking robbed. It's one thing to add this cage bullshit to your bot last minute so Razor cant reach, but the fact it was too big to actually fall in the pit was utter nonsense.
I was literally clapping when this c**t brought this out vs huge and immediately went to the reddit threads to read the seethe
Why does this robot have a fleshlight?
its a safety requirement outside the arena on sharp pointy things
Just to be clear, are you admitting that you jerk off with cut up pool noodles?
Vaccines with 10 year studies do tend to be safe, but gene therapy that is forced through the system three months after development under emergency authorization isn't so safe.
Still waiting for "long vaccine" to manifest in 6 billion people
You mean you are still waiting on the MSM to admit why excess deaths are happening?
2 more weeks?
approximately fourteen more days of i had to guess (didn't take it)
Excess deaths have been happening for a lot more than 2 weeks.
i don't know anyone who died
but i don't know anyone who died to covid either
That is a pretty easy accomplishment when you don't have any friends.
it's funny because it's true 🙁
2 of my mothers family developed suspicious symptoms. One had a heart attack, the other had some House-tier thing.
The deaths and injuries are happening, medical authorities and the media just won't admit why.
I thought Grant built the robots.
Let's be honest, no one wants scientists or engineers to do their actual best. They just want the same old shit with slightly new features every couple of years so they can feel like they have some "better".
the polio vaccine killed thousands of people
no it didn't
a tainted batch did kill 11 people though
The Later Day Saints don't want me Big Guy and Rusty. Found it on a Chink site: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1LK4y137NC/
Rusty is the people's champion.
>the troony team is covered in troony flags
>the robot is colored like a troony
these 'people' are insufferable
They should make a show where its a cross between robot wars and forged in fire, where they have to compete to make a robot that can kill a human based on certain challenges
Remember when some dude Baneposted on Battle Bots?
No.
>see a thread about battle bots
>hell yeah, fricking robot gladiator battles
>some morons squabbling over vaccines
Frick this gay earth.
Hey don't look at me, I posted porn ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm still mad
stop the vote
So when are we getting gundam fights? I'm tired of these little robots. I want to see 10+ foot tall robots slashing each other with swords already, but real ones, not anime ones.
You would think you would give the arena a ceiling
Why are the US robots so boring and generic?
Not one will ever have the pure sovl of Wheely Big Cheese or Thermidor
Bros I want to go back... Frick paypigs tho
What was this called? I have thought about it on occasion
Robot Rage. There's a fan remake up somewhere but apparently it's dead
Holy shit where does time go?
Yeah robots are cool and all but did you guys see what this dude said about trump? Look at this tweet he said trump bad, isn't that so interesting? If that wasn't good enough I also have LOTS to say about trannies and vaccines. I love talking about trannies.
Got inspiration from the raping blob.
What is jamie doing these days?
How I wanna compete. What do I need to do.
you need to build a robot
so this some kind of dark brotherhood shit, i build a robot and the next day there's a letter inviting me to the games?
pretty much
I’d just build a robot that has a gun
It'd probably be hard to aim and actually hit something vital
why didnt they just give the cage a ceiling like hell in a cell
I only like bots that are one shot killers like pic rel and the latest Son of Whyachi. They have literal troon bots now, do these sick freaks have to ruin EVERYTHING?
At the point in time of the tweet, I would've agreed with him since getting autism > dying to mumps or polio.
Not that he'd ever do it but I want to see Jamie do a Dr. Eggman cosplay, I bet it would be amazing
Oh shit. And he'd go around in a machine he built. Now I want to see that.
https://www.software3d.com/Home/Vax/Immunity.php
Set left side pop. to 0.9 vaxxed; right side to 0.4
Infection rate if NOT vaxxed: 0.6; infection rate if vaxxed: 0.1
Run it a few times, trying different numbers and eventually you'll start seeing little pockets of unvaxxed amongst the majority vaxxed side, and they're kept safe by the walls of vaccinated people around them - that's what herd immunity means.
That trio of unvaxxed amongst the right side pop. in pic related are just lucky SOBs.
>infection rate if vaxxed: 0.1
So they don't work
ummmmmm it was LITCHERALLY never ever supposed to work like that, okay???
There was that actual troony bot that lost every fight it was ever in
I remember this! They put the troony bot against an obvious sucker for an easy win, I believe his name was rusty, literally make with a popcorn bowl and only a screwdriver for a weapon
AND RUSTY WON
Absolute legend, you will never be forgotten RUSTY
Here is the video
Rusty was incredibly based. Clunky as hell but shockingly durable.
>shocking
really? couldn't you essentially make one of these indestructible and immovable by just making them heavy and thick enough?
There's a weight limit you have to stay under.
ah
In the britbong version there were house bots that were ultra-heavyweights that were over the weight limit, essentially as stage hazards, though they still got murdered on occassion.
wonder how long they'd last against blendo
A robot that hangs itself you say?

I always wished Robot Wars would do a crossover with picrel where teams have to build a fighting bot using junk and then compete in challenges and a head to head fight at the end.
Junkyard wars was kino. That and the first season of that simulated apocalypse survival show (forgot the name) were peak TV as a kid.
>build a robot with a magnet on a stick that lifts the othor robot up
seems pretty easy to beat tbh
remember s1 uk robot wars there was a kid literally entered an rc car inside a paper mache ball painted green to look like a brussel sprout
>tfw you're not in the timeline where Battlebots/Robot Wars blew up and robotic deathsports replaced normal ones
>it's a bot with a drone with a flamethrower
>they hype it up all episode
>drone flies for like 3 seconds then they lose control and it dies
They couldn't have the robots fight in a plexiglass cube?
it's just mechshit wwe
How do drones do nowadays?
I read the rules for making a robot, and as you might expect, it's just as autistically locked down as the people making these robots to begin with, so I'm guessing flying robots aren't even allowed.
You can use high powered shit in this show, right? Things like lasers or fire and whatnot? Why are all the robots kinetic energy based?
