BattleBots Beat: “Alexa, Play Despacito”

Senor Weaselo - August 1, 2019July 31, 2019

Hi everyone and welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, Tombstone broke everyone's bracket projections by catching on fire, Death Roll broke some more projections by possibly sidelining Quantum and moving to 3-0, and Cobalt did not break more bracket projections, just its front wedge attachment and Bombshell's dreams.

BattleBots Beat: Break Stuff

Senor Weaselo - July 25, 2019July 24, 2019

Hi everyone, and welcome back to the Beat! Last time out we saw dueling flippers with drastically different outcomes, as Hydra used gravity to break WAR Hawk into its separate components while Bronco debuted and got shredded by Bite Force. Plus we saw HyperShock decapitate Monsoon and Skorpios double-decapitate Sidewinder.

BattleBots Beat: Oh Yeah…

Senor Weaselo - July 18, 2019July 18, 2019

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time, Witch Doctor played American air hockey, Shatter! came down upon Wan Hoo's head, even if they didn't make sure they were dead, and Whiplash tanked Son of Whyachi enough to flip it over. This week we have a continuation of changing partners, many

BattleBots Beat: Family Feud

Senor Weaselo - July 11, 2019July 9, 2019

First off, Louie Anderson is my Family Feud host if not just for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QMJousotj0 And he's still alive, which is both surprising and heartwarming. Second off, welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, the floor winning became a meme, Tombstone slashed SawBlaze, and Nelly the Ellybot tasted the rainbow, motherfucker. This

BattleBots Beat: Beyond BONKers

Senor Weaselo - July 4, 2019July 4, 2019

Hello, and welcome back to the Beat! We are doing absolutely nothing special for the 4th of July, so there. Last time out Rikki watched the fights so I didn't have to! Or get to. I'm still most of the episode down. Either way, he did a good job. Also Bite

BattleBots Beat: Two For One

Senor Weaselo - June 27, 2019June 26, 2019

Hello, and welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, DUCK! laughed at Bombshell while getting some sweet revenge, Shatter! lost its head, BattleBots went full fucking Beyblades, and I learned you can't embed video directly onto the site but in my defense I am finishing these at an ungodly

BattleBots Beat: Bots on the Ground!

Senor Weaselo - June 20, 2019June 20, 2019

Hi everyone, and welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, Tombstone clipped Lock-Jaw, HyperShock blazed by Valkyrie, and Cobalt made SubZero's team rage and regret swapping the fight. This time we've got the return of HUGE and a robot even bigger than it, a new Brazilian bot, the first

BattleBots Beat (Part 2): Back to the Studio

Senor Weaselo - June 14, 2019June 14, 2019

Hello there, and welcome back to the Beat, the second-funniest Thursday (normally) running BattleBots review column! This becomes a special two-parter because I realized, "Holy shit, if I just do the re: MARS stream it's still a 3500 word post," Also it was 3 AM because I was finally actually

BattleBots Beat: re: MARS Remarks

Senor Weaselo - June 13, 2019June 13, 2019

Welcome back to the Beat! We're back for realsies this time, not just a preview but actual honest to goodness fighting. And for this premiere we've got way too much work for me to do—it's so big we're going to split it into two parts. So let's just get to

Copa América 2019 Team Preview: Japan

Senor Weaselo - June 11, 2019June 10, 2019

Yes, lizard people, we're covering the Copa América, the CONMEBOL South American lesser footy federation's championship, where 12 teams will square off to be the best in South America. Which is why I'm covering Japan today. Yes, this makes total sense. (Ron Howard: "It didn't.") Interestingly the non-South American teams that normally

Copa América 2019 Team Preview: Rand McNally

Senor Weaselo - June 9, 2019June 8, 2019

We've got an extra team! It came as a bit of shock when this small country off the coast of South America qualified as a sudden 13th team, but shows how much analysts know! I drew the straw, so I get to uncover the mysteries. Rand McNally is a country off
