As I have wrote on this blog before, I am a big fan of Battlebots. And now, the third season is coming to a close with a tournament of 16 bots and I thought it would be fit to fill out a bracket and guess/ commentate on the tourney. You can watch the Battlebots on the Discovery or Science channels or app. These are just guesses and are probably wrong somewhere, but let's just have the fun.
Tombstone v Bombshell: Tombstone
This one's simple, Tombstone, the lord of the ring vs the bottom seed and a weak bot. W: Tombstone
Sow vs Lock-Jaw: Lock-Jaw
Sow is one of the worst bots and that whole family of bots is just manipulating the enterprise and most of them suck anyway. Not so for Donald Holland and the legend of Lockjaw. W: Lock-Jaw
Sawblaze vs Monsoon: Sawblaze
Sawblaze is a powerful new bot going against low-level Monsoon. Could be a massacre, could be close. But Sawblaze is strong. W: Sawblaze
Minotaur vs Witch Doctor: Minotaur
Witch Doctor is a bot that is being pushed very heavily by the Battlebots corporate, but they also love Minotaur because they are from Rio. Witch Doctor's weak. W: Minotaur
Bronco vs War Hawk: Bronco
War Hawk did destroy a bot well in one of the final fights, but still almost went down and surely will against top-level heavyweight Bronco. W: Bronco
Yeti vs Whiplash: Yeti
Neither is very strong, but Yeti is an experienced robot, with skill, Whiplash is going down. W: Yeti
Icewave vs Rotator: Icewave
Are you kidding me? Icewave is becoming an absolute king, recently with great wins. On the other hand, Rotator is a device that is heavily handicapped. W: Icewave
Bite Force vs Huge: Bite Force
Ummm... Huge just got cut in half in less than a minute by Icewave, I'm pretty sure that former champion Bite Force can handle. W: Bite Force
Everyone of these fights is hypothetical & is subject to change or just won't happen:
Tombstone vs Lock-Jaw: Tombstone
Lock-Jaw is strong, but I haven't yet seen a player that Tombstone didn't have the capability to beat. W: Tombstone
Sawblaze vs Minotaur: Minotaur
Sawblaze most truly isn't a master, and Minotaur is better, I could see this becoming a close match, but Sawblaze can't beat the tournament. W: Minotaur
Bronco vs Yeti: Bronco
Yeti is good and all, with experience but it just isn't a beater of the master of flip, Bronco. W: Bronco
Icewave vs Bite Force: Bite Force
I really would want Icewave to win, but I just don't know if he's powerful enough to take down Bite Force. IceWave has lost to such bots as Nightmare and Bite Force is a champion, it could be close but W: Bite Force
Tombstone vs Minotaur: Tombstone
Tombstone Takedown! Minotaur may be powerful enough to win up here to this point, but no one can take down Tombstone, though he sure can take down others. W: Tombstone
Bronco vs Bite Force: Bronco
At the beginning of this season, there was a bet placed that by the end of the season, Bronco would flip a bot into the ceiling, if not that, another flip into the outside of the box. It would be close, but a Bronco win is possible. W: Bronco
Final: Tombstone vs Bronco
If this truly does turn into the finale, I think that Tombstone would tear Bronco apart, he is too fast and strong with the blade spinner. For Bronco to flip Tombstone and very much damage it, I just don't think is possible. W: Tombstone
These are just my predictions, feel free to leave yours and I will put a link to the Battlebots website were you can find a pdf bracket to fill out.
I do hope that Tombstone wins, along with Lock-Jaw, IceWave and HyperShock (who isn't in the tournament) they are my favorite bots.)

Thank you for reading this blog and sorry for not uploading for a timely time, I've been dealing with school and lots of other stressors and losing some sleep. But, the blog will continue and I have some reviews coming soon. This will be yet another era for the blog and I will try to do more different types of content. I shall also update once the tournament ends. Thank you and stay connected.
