BattleBots Return - And They're Powered by VEXpro!

[Munchskull]

The three strongest robots would have to be (IMHO) Lockjaw, Bite Force, and Tombstone (aka Last Rites).

Lockjaw seems to have the grappling down, and it looks like it could use its teeth (is that what they would be called?) as a wedge. I did notice that it looked like it had some trouble with flipping overhaul making me wounder about its torque, who will it flip first its self or the other bot.

Bite Force (my personal favorite) seems to be a very strong contender. To me it seems similar to Lockjaw in claw/teeth(?) design. One edge that it does have over Lockjaw is the configuration change. Bite Force's biggest weakness is its treads. As stated earlier (by the designer of Bite Force?) treads are good for show not practicality. I could see them getting destroyed leaving Bite Force immobile, assuming that they do not have any thing up their sleeve (WCD under those treads?).

Last and most certainly not least is Tombstone. Tombstone appears to be an unstoppable harbinger whose entrance into the arena is a herald of tiny bits of broken bots. Dramatics aside Tombstone does pack the strongest punch of my top three. I can see em going all the way but not with out others putting up a fight. I think that wedges could deflect the blades blows and jam its spinner is used right.

My honorable mentions have to go out to Bronco and ICEwave.

Bronco's flip will certainly pack a punch but how maneuverable is it when it comes to defending its back side? Plus with two blade bots out there how will it hod up if they go head to head.

ICEwave has a great showing and as mentioned has a 360 blade, but how strong is the the spinners engine? It did catch fire according to the show, and how will it deal with being stalled?
