What an amazing fight from both bots! Where was THIS RELIABILITY from White Rabbit/Malice!? That disc was hitting hard! Shout out to Terrortops challenging its inner Whiplash at the very end! Fantastic.
Rush from Team Malice here. We're so sick of the weapon reliability issues too. At Robogames we tested out our brand new pulley and triple bearing setup. The only time the weapon ever stopped functioning was during our fight with Manta, and that was only because we had a large piece of UHMW lodged near the weapon belt, preventing it from spinning up. All of our bearings survived! Finally...after 3 whole seasons we have weapon reliability that we can hang our hat on.
@@Strikr glad to hear. Malice should have always have just been a tank. An angle grinder attached to a safe that wind by attrition. I’m glad to see it behaving as it always could have. Also those wedges looking good.
@@Strikr i am really excited for malice in the future that lack of reliability in the past was what was botherign me most with malice.... in this whole competition however.. yep it was obvious something had changed!! good job you guys
Rabbit has done better in other bouts after one of the forks falls *off*. Maybe put a double-fork on one side and leave the other bare. That way they get access to the corners when they want to.
Botty Sanders: "One percent of the bots gets 99% of the Giant Nuts. We need bots that represent all of us and not just the one percent. The rich buy lower forks and win more to buy yet lower forks and get under regular folks-forks before they have a chance to earn lower forks, thus the lower get ever lower and the rest get smashed."
Terrortops is very quickly becoming one of my favorite teams to watch. Those kids can DRIVE.

“Whiplash is cruel Malice, and I am very in touch with my inner Whiplash!”
@@Strikr Great news! Also seemed to be getting great grip there, too. Looking forward to Malice in next season of BB.

good job you guys
Very strange to see Malice actually doing damage and being so reliable
Malice vs subzero:
Indeed. Very often their weapon seems to stop after one or two big hits.
Yeah first season they where reliable, but after upping the power off it I haven’t seen it running so well
that's one hell of a sturdy wedge they have
Terrortops is such an awesome team. I'm excited to see how they do in BattleBots.
announcer 2 was having such a hard time remembering White Rabbit and Terrortops...
It was kinda cute. Kept switching to Malice and Terrorbyte.
Terratops got mauled. The 10 second "lift" did ZERO damage.
This was beyond a shadow of a doubt the best fight of Robogames 2023.
6:52 the dicebot is very nice

Is Bernie Sanders announcing?
Sure hope not. Communism has no lace in robot combat.

I would have made Terrortops' lifter wedge shaped instead of with forks, so it wouldn't get as being up as it did.
That was the most awkward interview I have ever seen.
Why they called Malice white rabbit? Some trademark legal stuff? Or it’s “different “ bot?
Because the name Malice belongs to Battlebots.
@@what-fw5vk I see. So it’s for legal reason.
