Four bots entered the arena.

In this Round Robin showdown, every bot fights every other once. Six fights. One champion. One new piece of BattleBots hardware -- the Giant Washer.
We’ve already seen massive hits, wild moments, and behind-the-scenes grit in Part 1… but tomorrow the tournament wraps up.
Who will stand alone?

Ever wondered what makes HyperShock one of the most destructive bots in BattleBots history? Team Skorpios just dropped a deep dive into its inner workings, and you don’t want to miss it.
Watch “The Secrets of HyperShock” to see what’s under the hood—then put that knowledge to the test by watching HyperShock take on Tombstone in an epic rematch.

Ryan BeaverI generally find 4WD Verts to be pretty boring. Hypershock is the exception. Fast, destructive, vibrant, aesthetically pleasing, and entertaining as hell. Combine that with Will Bales being just a fun guy and you have one of my favorite bots.
2 weeks ago 1Bryan WhiteI love how dominant Hypershock has been these past few years. They’ve gone from being the playful jesters… to being a serious threat in the battlebox as they tear through their opponents!
2 weeks ago 4Michael FerrellWill Bales is no longer driving HyperShock. He's officially passed the torch to his wife.
2 weeks ago 2Stuart WilliamsRam-rage has kept this design in the sport, if not for that, such fragile, exposed wheels as a concept would have been obsolete long ago, much like tracks. Relying on blinkered aggression has been a rollercoaster tactic which seems to be wearing thin

Callen HungerMark Thorpe, the creator of Robot Wars USA started with a remote control vacuum. To me, that is the first ever Robot Wars robot or Battlebot. Surely when he passed away it transferred ownership. Who owns it now? Is it safe?

Hi Trey !
BattleBots Faceoffs Tombstone v Hypershock
24 CommentsComment on Facebook
Jason VaughnUhhhh…did no one see the damage Hypershock took?!!? 2 wheels missing, one bashed and not spinning, weapon inactive. Ray also said he is on his last frame because Hypershock destroyed the other 2. Plus a new Tombstone driver.
2 weeks ago 1Nikki CihakAre you all EVER coming back to TV? Surely you all are missing the following. Discovery is how we learn about the sport and how the competitors gain fans. It's a huge mistake to not air on TV anymore. I really hope you all plan on restarting soon.
3 weeks ago 7Talon TroutAll these “Tombstone is struggling” comments. Like bro did you even watch the video? The weapon wouldn’t spin up due to radio interference and Hypershock took advantage. Clearly not the same as fighting a fully functional Tombstone. This fight was a case of bad luck that could have happened to literally anyone.
3 weeks ago 3Bryan WhiteI’m sorry, I’ve been saying for years: Tombstone is overrated. Hypershock has been improving every season. Ever since that first round of the Golden Bolt tournament where they just dominated, they have been at their best…and when you face off against them, you need to be at your best too, or they will rip you apart!

David ReeseCome back on regular television. 90% of your audience is waiting for that
3 weeks ago 20Daniel SmithSome of the build up was ok, I guess they had to advertise the War Robots game if its sponsoring faceoffs but felt misplaced. Hope we get some good matches when the rest airs, but really hope you can make a good TV deal soon for WC VIII and one that allows it to be aired internationally!
3 weeks ago 6Jason LymanToo much lead up, pre-fight video. That said, hope y'all land a tv deal somewhere.
3 weeks ago 8Mark LaneI loved it. It was over so quick, that split second delay in tombstone spinning up was all hypershock needed to destroy him. It's sad to see the king of kenetic energy made to look so ordinary but going to happen when everyone evolves in a way to beat them. Keep it coming!!!!!
