I love duck. There's something so pure, and frankly hilarious, in using run-into-them-with-your-face-until-they-break as a primary strategy.
I also love the flipping gimmic
I just think he's cute
I think the flipper made duck more fragile than how it was when it was just a pushing wall of badassery
@ KiritoIsAlwaysRight the reason for the flipper is Battlebots doesn’t allow pure pusher bots/wedge bots. If you watch Duck in other competitions, they don’t have a flipper.
Really hoped to see Tombstone shatter its weapon hitting Duck head-on. Looks like no Duck in Season 5.
This was an exhibition match for fun. Hannah is driving. End Game is a mighty beast!
Cant wait to see whats done this year to improve duck
I can see both bots making Top 16 one day.
Not bad driving. I hope Duck makes the top 16 next season!
For fun? Duck! wasn't having much fun! ; ) Normally, I don't like a weaponless bot but Duck! is the exception. Just hope it (and the new season) comes back better than ever!
Duck needs a harpoon
This was one of my favourite of the unaired fights. It shows that End Game is a fantastic robot when it works. If the team can iron out the technical gremlins they had at the start of the season, you're looking at a strong Top 16 contender right there.
AFAIK it wouldn't even be all that hard to fix. According to their AMA a while ago, all that was wrong with the machine was the speed controllers. They skimped out on protecting them and they didn't like the big jolts of power they got on hits, so they tended to just shut down. Outside of wedgelets coming off and their original spinner bearing retainers breaking in their fight with Death Roll, they apparently didn't take much damage.
I mean, in its debut season End Game almost managed to beat Bite Force. The concept between the two bots is pretty much the same, the only real difference is that Bite Force has generally been far more reliable.
@@VestedUTuber he could have beat bite force if he had actually hit him while he was static
@@silasmcgee3647
Actually, that could have caused problems. If you hit an opponent during a countdown, the count has to be restarted in most circumstances. It would have given Bite Force more time to recover and there's no guarantee an extra hit would do any more critical damage.
The better course of action would have been to sit right behind Bite Force, weapon spun up to full throttle, and then to charge in immediately as soon as Bite Force showed even the slightest of controlled movement.
@@VestedUTuber that is a good point
That Endgame was able to dent in Duck's face plate shows just how obscenely powerful that spinner is.
It is rare to see DUCK! got knocked out like that!
Endgame did what no bot could. They took down the Indestructible Duck.
@J Foster Technically it was the killsaws that did Duck in, lol
@J Foster After the tombstone fight they were still "alive", (you could see the motors turning), but they had lost 3/4 wheels and the 4th one couldnt spin so they couldnt move. Here they flat-out died.
Bronco also did it
@@ryanamburgy2791 that was an OOTA, DUCK! was not disabled.
"Duck season!"
"Wabbit season!"
"Duck season!"
"Wabbit season!"
"DUCK!"
;-)
Wut
Duck vs. Ribbot should play that out.
@@busybillyb33 it's 🐇 season not 🐸 season
Amazing how much better it is with commentary.
Duck's strategy is purely to win by attrition. It can't actually harm anything haha.
Yyyyep
There are two fights that I want to see these two bots in for next season.
End Game VS Tombstone
Duck VS Bite Force
I’ve never thought of that. Those two fights would probably make the main event.
Endgame is an absolute force of destruction, and can f with SOW. Duck is basically a safe on rubber wheels
@@gundymetre7571 Man, BOTH OF YOU were right. End Game/Tombstone, Season 5 Episode 1 Main Event.
I think End Game is more unlucky than people think. It's a really capable robot, but it's always something... Nice to see them win here.
It's definitely unlucky. I mean, it was winning that fight with Death Roll, until the srimech just decided "Nope".
What a fabulous match! Loving that the basement fights are coming out now! :)
What a good way to demonstrate power, destroying the most durable bot in the history of the show
can we get a 10 hour version of this audio so i can fall asleep to this ASMR
I agree!
"QUACK!"
Two of my favorite bots from those who are not superstars. End Game seems to me to be a very well built robot that as soon as the pilot has more experience will be able to fight for the title. Duck is a rock, it can be one of the most difficult bots to knock down, although here they have managed it, it seems that it is a bot that will not do anything but always leaves good fights.
One year later
Giant nut winner
Two years later
Went out a'lil early for a giant nut winner but still did good
By January we'll see three years after this comment
(Btw @Soloks I hope you have a great 2023)
They upgraded duck and it performed worse.
Then it didn't come back
This should've been on tv
I love this match.
End Game is like the Minnesota Vikings of the Battlebots.
minus endgame's usual intermittent power fluctuation, THIS is what Cobalt vs Duck! shouldve been like if not for the stupid floor
Stupid design IMO. All drivers are allowed the walk the arena, no surprises there. If they designed a bot that can be high centered so easily it's on them.
Cobalt went _underneath_ a seam.
@@alexv3375 i thought that, looking at the match again it dosent look it. but yeah a busted arena isnt cobalt's fault
@@alexv3375 It may appear so but I specifically recall them going to higher profile tires their next fight. To avoid getting high centered as per their own words.
@@lilsunny7399 Every bot participates in the same arena, face the same hazards and have the same opportunities to prep for them = FAIR.
Good video for only having box audio. Great job guys!
Duck always gets good matches, even the ones that don't even air
Duck is basically just a target dummy.
Wow. Surprised that DUCK! got KO'ed like that, especially after it's impressive show of durability against Cobalt.
I think that might be because Cobalt might not actually hit as hard as it appears.
Most spinners, End Game included, and set up in such a way that they slam their spinner into the enemy full force, like a punch. From watching the slow-mos of the fights and the way it's hits tend to work out, I think most of the time Cobalt actually does something different. It has a thin tooth angled in such a way that it more seems to grab and pull their opponents, flinging them into the air, rather then just slamming them like End Game and the rest do. This would make it very good at ripping parts off and punching through thinner armour (See: Cobalt ripping off Duck's face and punching through Sub-Zero), but not so great at delivering the kind of internal shock that would put Duck down like this.
I could also be entirely wrong, but hey, there's a chance.
from what i see i think Duck had loss of battery and/or weapon got jammed in its drive
If Cobalt didn't bounce off the floor, I think Duck! would've lost.
@@XogoWasTaken Yeah I am pretty sure that is what Cobalt's spinner is meant to do, Cobalt's spinner acts more like a sword meant to tear straight through armor to reach the internal components to disable their opponents. Most other spinners act as if they are hammers meant to slam their opponents and transfer insane amounts of kinetic energy.
I kinda wish this fight was televised
Honestly a great match
That's animal abuse lol
True 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This didn’t age well
Nice video
Offense vs Defense, perfect match.
Duck is usually like a zombie, just keeps going on and on. I never saw em get a drive shutdown.
We had Cobalt sending Duck flying high, and End Game made Duck do the rapid somersaults.
Duck is a masterpiece of a machine!
Ah. That was truly pleasurable to see Duck get smashed like a garbage can.
I might sound biased but imo DUCK has taken some of the biggest hits in the reboot so far. Also this was best fight of the unaired list, with Kraken vs Shatter being a close second.
I didn't know Duck had two flying instructors Cobalt and End Game
plunderbird And Bronco was the first one
@@Romax-pg2is oh yes and him aswell
Koodos to duck for hanging in there that long, endgame is just a beast
Muy doloroso ver a Duck! perder de esa forma. Es uno de esos bots que, aunque no sea muy prometedor, no puedes evitar amarlo.
Que bueno que haya vuelto esto xd
In victory or defeat, DUCK! always puts on a show!
It sounds so... quiet in there. And sudden. A whole different world, ha ha.
Nice

Thrown high in the air!
"OH MY GOD!!!" -Chris Rose
259 vs Wild Thing, 2020 edition
This time, the spinner bites back ;)
I like the obscure buck rodgers/twiggy reference
This is a surprising result. End Game has had problems ever since its loss to Death Roll and DUCK! is stupidly reliable, so this was an impressive knockout!
The only motors aside from the panel on duck are for movement
I love endgame so much
the thing thing about bots using spinners is when you start hearing a sound is them saying "bish come at me"
I thought End Game was knocked out a couple times, but it bent the plow on DUCK! and Killed The SPINNER KILLER!!!!! In case you guys didn’t see it, smoke came out of the chassis of DUCK! and a chain came out of the lifter or one of the wheels. I think the smoke came out of where Quantum but into them.
Duck :exists
Endgame :I am inevitable
Duck has almost gotten a knockout with endgame and tombstone
Yes end game!
Duck looks like it was on its way to delivering pizza and just happened to land in this tournament
Wow duck can take so much punishment
battlebots needs to make duck Rubber duckies, I would so buy one of those, also ducks team needs have a mini bot that looks like a Rubber ducky.
Gotta say it. Who wants to see end game vs cobalt in season 6? That would literally quake the battlebox no matter who wins (no spoilers for those who haven't watched previous seasons). But seriously, please lift these damned travel restrictions for the other countries, it's literally sacrilege to not have international bots in the competition!
It's duck season
This was a great fight! Why wasn't it shown in the regular season?
Because it was an exhibition match that I believe took place during the round of 16
I AM!!!
End Game gets Another Win!
Better fight for endgame, clearly reliability issues abound. Hopefully next season they can clean it up.
If duck had some power to be a flipping bot that would be crazy.
Endgame looks an awful lot like Bite Force
Good for End Game after a meh 2019 season
This is how Duck vs Cobalt should’ve gone. Hopefully this year the new floor isn’t as garbage.
Duck is a metal pizza box lol
Duck stamina was great
Can't believe they knocked out DUCK!
I can't believe they allowed a safe on wheels to be a part of a *fighting* league. It can't fight. It can only hope the other bot breaks itself.
That's a boo from me, dog.
@@Parallaxus So lifting and flipping over Bombshell isn't fighting?
@Parralaxus will you please stop complaining. The majority of bots are already spinners, just how you want it. Maybe you should start your own robot fighting league where only four wheel drive, vertical spinners with wedglets are allowed.
WHAT A FIGHT!
Thats the thing about duck. Its almost never gonna beat non spinners, and when it doesnt fight it has to hope and pray for a judges decison. If ducj can't stop the spinner its screwed and ive noticed that duck has failed more and more to do that. It will get a pesky knockout but other than that they really only winning if they break the spinner without taking to much damage to lifter
Yeah Duck needs a new lifter setup. The beak just isn't working.
What's up? Duck!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How did this fight never make it to TV?
As if "Box Audio Only" is a bad thing? I prefer this sound to the fake, overproduced garbage audio you guys always add.
For sure. Give me the actual crash sounds and the death hum of those spinners any day.
@@ConstantlyDamaged it's like the show's producers have no idea why people watch their show. The rules encourage drones and fire-based weapons, which don't do any real damage, but are "neat" to look at. The video editing is too fast, and reminds me of Leam Neeson action flicks. And this sound editing is the insulting cherry on top. Do they think we can't tell it's the same stock sound being used over and over again? I want to meet the producers and ask them why they're taking such an amazing, visceral sport and it into a boring, lifeless facsimile.
@@ZPositive Pretty much. One reason I loved Robot Wars was though they had the commentary and some fancy lighting, you still got to see and hear what was going on.
The video I watched before this one crossed-in the middle of the biggest action of the fight-to a woman in the crowd filming it with her mobile phone. (When Icewave had their blade cut to pieces.)
@@ConstantlyDamaged Omg i just watched that video some days ago
And yeah, it was just so dumb
Anthony I’ve never seen someone so salty over audio. Jeez. It’s just a show, man.
SHOOT THE DUCK SHOOT THE DUCK!!!! :P, great fight though
Anyone remember that old NES game, "Duck Hunt?" That was the stuff back then. (I wasn't born in the '80s. I just know it was popular.)
That's one mangled mallard.
Duck?
What are you doing?
Interesting
Quack It's Game Over
duck the bot who loves pain
I’m starting to see why endgame beat cobalt...
To be fair though Cobalt is pretty deadly we've all seen some of the lethal things it did to some Bots
Crie in SOW
Ducks just tryna breed with the screws
80% of the audience didn't get the Buck Rogers joke.
QUACK!
Duck team: "I wish we had put any sort of weapon heh"
Good battle! But I miss the commentary
At least pipe in some of the crowd noise.
Duck got dumped like a 10 ton truck
QUE SILÊNCIO NA TV É MAIS ANIMADO
Pq essa é a versão ineditada, só a luta crua, as que vao ao ar já estão editadas...
2:30 the fatal hit
Como eu vim para aqui?
Does Duck have a primary weapon? I only ever see it running face first into other bots until one of them dies.
It has a lifting wedge. It’s more of a “break your fist with my face” bot
Is Endgame even beatable like DAMN
رائع..
i dont know how some of these people can come in with basically an rc car with a broomstick and think they will win, as if someone else isnt building a remote control wood chipper
Fuck off. Some of these "RC Cars with a broomstick" cost more than your car. I'd like to see you try and build one lol.
When are the english teams coming in! Magnetar and carbide!!
Cobalt was made by Team Carbide though...
Albert Raymond Hall if you’re looking for that, go watch robot wars.
Darth Nihilus The Lord of Hunger Or you can literally watch Cobalt fight. It’s basically Carbide’s little bro.
Does he come up with these rhymes on the spot or.
What the duck.
2:05-2:08 he should've let him stay and not push it, he could've won by k.o
Why can't we have Chris and Kenny's commentary for these?
Why is this bot named Duck when A Horrible Goose was right there
When will the new season starts?
It's not even been announced yet, let alone filmed.
The 2020 Battlebots season will start late March or early April.
@@hydrathedaydreamer Who do you want 2 C face off? I'm still waiting 2 C my dream fight: Tombstone vs. Icewave!
@@panhead537 I wanna see Tombstone vs SOW.
PanHead 537 I would think that it would be really close. If icewave can get his bar spinning in time, it could chop off tombstones chain because of its height.
