That sort of reminds me of wrestling in a way. ECW was cool to watch as a kid. Then it slowly changed.

Thats pretty cool that you were involved.

I competed in robot wars a few times and made a few appearances in some battle bots episodes.

Checking in. I watched last night and it's gonna be hard for anyone to beat Tombstone IMO. The one thing that could be the end of Tombstone is if somehow his hammer stops working. Only other thing I could see would be getting behind him and pushing him into the screws, hammer first. That would definitely be my strategy if I was facing Tombstone.

A spin bot needs to figure out a way to attack him from the side and take out his rubber tires. That would limit his mobility. Only problem is I don't know how many spin bots remain in the tournament.

Tombstone is fast enough to thwart a side attack. The only way it loses is if the weapon gets disabled somehow or someone has something to add to their bot to defend against the blade.

Ice wave will lose to a robot like Warrior Clan because the blade is too high and it will get flipped.

Bronco looks like a Toro knock-off. They could probably add little extension to his flipping arm that has a slight upward angle to contend with both Icewave and Tombstone.

The guys who tried to cheat with the net should have gotten in over Warhead. Warhead did zero in his match to deserve a WC.
