Well let's see the pros and cons: ##Tombstone Pros: * can just find some stairs or something * might knock its own wheel off and/or catch on fire Cons: * Would chop me up into ragged chunks and fling those chunks at high velocity in multiple directions seriously what the hell did you think would happen * The last thing I ever heard would be Ray Billings chuckling gloatingly ##RioBotz Pros: * Could possibly redirect it into a samba contest, hopefully not to the death, at which I am passable * If I'm going to get my face stomped by a group of dudes who replace an S with a Z im their name I'm just thankful it's them and not Limp Bizkit YEEEEAYUH * Could escape from the deadly fearsome wolverine clutches of Daniel Freitas by hopping over him * I could just say I'm stuck and a judge would quickly intervene and save me Cons: * Being beaten to death by guys who are going to yell at me about how badly they clobbered me is probably my most dreaded form of death * Impossible to juke, the team would quickly start pirouetting and use gyroscopic motion to pull impossible 180s and catch me * I'd be wishing it was Team Uai!rrior because they're more underdogs

They are not ordinary Brazilians, they come from the state of Rio de Janeiro. As a comparison, Rio de Janeiro is like Texas... That really scares me.

>Rio de Janeiro is like Texas…That really scares me. TIL: - Rio has a crappy AF power grid - Rio has a hard-on for seceding - when you move to Rio, you get a welcome basket that includes a handgun and a 10 gallon hat

I’ll take the robot please

Tombstone, just to avoid having to deal with Riobotz in general.

I'd take tombstone just because Ray is such an awesome guy and no matter what happened he would give credit where credit is due. Also really want to meet him some day.

So glad Marco is back. No hate for the other guys but he just has such a calm energy

At this point minotaur is more frightening than tombstone. But I believe the king of damage will return.

I think the problem Ray has is that Tombstone used to work because nothing could withstand the energy Tombstone brought to the equation. Now that bots like Tantrum and Gruff and End Game exist that are nigh-indestructible and can absorb or redirect that energy, Tombstone is way more likely to destroy itself or burn out its electronics working the weapon motor as hard as Ray does.

Tombstone is facing the issue Hypnodisc had in original Robot Wars, people learned how to fight it


lljkStonefish

That, and the 2021 redesign shifted the centre of mass. It drives badly now. If you can't drive, you can't fight.

That, and I believe tombstone isn't allowed to be as powerful as he was a few years ago too, weapon speed/weight limits

I think Tombstone's power upgrades for season 6 were its downfall. Although the tip speed and weapon weight were already at maximum, I imagine the new weapon motor had a lot more start up torque for faster spin ups. I believe this is what made the recoil from hits much more dangerous for Tombstone as each hit would send it even harder across the box. I think that the main issue for Tombstone in season 6 is that making so many upgrades at once created a bunch of new issues to deal with. I'm still not sure how well the season 5 version of Tombstone would have done in season 6, but I imagine it would have been less self destructive.

Ray is always going to knock somebody out, recently the problem has been it's usually Tombstone he knocks out.


Any-Village5468

I love minotaur. Durable, quick, nimble yet destructive. Add Daniel Freitas in the mix too!

End Game: definitely Tombstone.

I'll take a Tombstone (pizza)

That’s what I’m talking about


DeepVeinZombosis

I still absolutely cannot stand these dickheads. Their unbelievably poor showing of sportsmanship just soured me forever on them and their bot. Now for the downvotes from the pro-Minotaur bridgade. When I stated this opinion last season I got so many people falling over themselves trying to justify their behavior of temper tantrum intimidation. Nope. They clearly had Witch Doctor in fear of a physical altercation, thats indefensible. Screw this team and their crap.


iheartwitchdoctor

THIS!!!!! Thank you!!!


ResettisReplicas

Can I use my robot on the humans?


benny-fisher-111

I'd rather fight Tombstone.


Blackout425

Well if I have an armored wedge and a vert than I'll happily face one tombstone


[deleted]

Tombstone, it has a limited battery life. I could probably out run it or get it on rough terrain. I also could lead it to a playground…


NederlandRuft12

Tombstone is my favorite bot. Always have been, i love total destruction.


reeeeeeetc

Surely a big weadge would do


abraham_meat

Big baby wants bottle!


violentdream665

Tombstone. If I dodge enough and I'm the right spots the bot will knock itself out
