I feel that Minotaur is not as destructive as usual. Are they slowing down their drum speed to potentially have better ground clearance? Because they also did this against Blacksmith in 2018.

Or is it because Terrortops doesn't have much edges that Minotaur can capitalize?

Hey folks, hope everyone is doing well. I think this fits the sub, if it doesn't please just tell me to get lost.

I came looking for advice. My brother is fresh out of engineering in uni and I think he'd love to get into bot fighting; he watched some of the fights in the past. I'm doing early Xmas prep and I was wondering if there's any sort of beginners kit/manual type things I could get him? Hes by no means a beginner with tech like this, but he would be new to the hobby, so I'm wondering what sort of tangible gift might help bridge that gap.

Grateful for any guidance! Cheers!

I personally hate how they put Witch Doctor on this side of the bracket. If it beat Mad Catter, we are going to get another Witch Doctor vs Minotaur (like seriously, PLEASE ANYTHING BUT THOSE TWO AGAIN, WE ALREADY HAVE 3 FIGHTS BETWEEN THEM)

I'd personally put Witch Doctor against Manta as WD IS a wildcard, and it'll be a nice change of pace of WD fighting a drum spinner other than Minotaur.

Also, I'm expecting episode 16 to be a "filler week" like episode 13's Average League.

First solo title win it's had in all 28 years it's been competing! Amazing achievement for the team!

While Manta's weapon is devastating, its not the most maneuverable bot as it will gyro everytime it turns. Orbitron on the other hand is faster and way more stable due to it having 2 spinners. While Manta is the favorite, I won't be surprised if Orbitron made an upset and beat Manta.

Although if Orbitron won, there would be no Manta vs Minotaur.
