James should have won that decision. James' weapon was already down at the start of the match, and only took minor damage from Depth Charge. How Depth Charge got any points in control at all is baffling seeing as how it's entire fight consisted of: throwing itself into the arena just to get out of the starting square; vibrating in a circle menacingly (how is that considered controlled motion?); being delivered into the side of the arena courtesy of James.

@huntzzio
@huntzzio 2 года назад
I agree. I would put control 4-1 in favor of James (1 pt to DC bc, well, I dont think James should get all of it, it wasnt totally in control of robot). Aggression is normally done by weapon aggression so 3-2 to DC. Damage however, James was impaired by damage done WITH WEAPON (not to wall, not to floor, not to James weapon that wasnt shut off via DC), however even though DC was scraping at James, if you look at slomo, it didnt give a big hit to James, it hit the wall, and James came out of that better, so 3-2 Damage to James. Or ig you could give damage 3-2 to DC but eh.

@Thatguy2-502
@Thatguy2-502 2 года назад
I think the control points came from the fact that Depth Charge controlled the pacing of the match because it was so dangerous that James waited 105 seconds to even attempt to attack it. James' controller was too scared of Depth Charge to even approach it. technically Depth Charge was attempting to advance on James the entire time. While James did put Depth Charge on an angle and shove him into a wall, that was only towards the end. Pushing Depth Charge onto a 45 degree angle also did nothing but slow him down a bit and change the angle of attack. He was still able to move. Now for the last bit. The push to the wall and KO of Depth Charge. As some people have said. The moment the Lexan Glass on the Big Box broke, the match ended. It went offline after it hit the ground. It was still functional at the moment the glass broke. Now if the entire thing had happened without the glass breaking, it would have been a knockout in favor of James. That's the best for what I can think the judges were thinking. As for myself, Depth Charge would have been counted out for lack of transitional movement at the very start of the match. The brush movement has potential, but it was in such an early stage as to render Depth Charge little more than a very dangerous rotating hazard.
@RJTheBikeGuy

There were 3 bots in the arena, James' mini-bot got clobbered, James took a hit, and DC probably was put into an emergency stop when the arena barrier took unassessed serious damage. (If the blades were still rotating at their full speed while the integrity of the arena was in question, that would be a major safety hazard, especially if the blades took any structural damage) it sounds like DC was still operational, but the match was ended without an actual finisher or timer, due to safety concerns.

Please re-watch, Depth Charge dealt multiple bouts of damage and disabled Knockoff White's weapons merely by spinning a fucking dual saw around really fast, if you pay close attention, the pilot is ensuring James has no safe way to attack Depth Charge, he deserves control solely for how effective he was at Being threatening by using a limited movement set up (brush plus rotational speed)

Janes still did really well to handle such a threatening force of destruction though!

Okay, that hit was amazing, and I LOVE Depth Charge for its weapon, but how did James not win that? Explanation is below, but heres how I wouldve judged it: 4-1 Control (James), 2-3 Aggression (DC), 3-2 Damage (James), leaving by a 9-6 decision, James the winner. Control- both bots werent in great control of their robot it seemed, but James slammed DC into wall so james shouldve won that 4-1. Aggression- neither were really aggressive; you could either judge this with weaponry aggression (3-2, DC) or movement aggression (3-2, James). I personally think DC should win it (i think in battlebots they do weapon aggression) so thats 6-4 James so far. Damage-sure, James couldnt spin its weapon, but it is damage done to the opponent WITH WEAPON. Notice how I said opponent, not floor or wall. Notice how I said with weapon. Now, James didnt deal damage with weapon... so I guess its left to who came out of this better. James had a slightly impaired drive out of that hit, but DC was completely still. 3-2 James on damage. So anyway. I love Depth Charge but it should not have won. You could say DC hit with weapon, but... if you look at slow mo, it was only scraping James and it hit the wall, not James. So thats my reasoning. Still 3-2 Damage in favor of DC would also still makes sense. It would still have James win 8-7.
@THE2SOURCE
@THE2SOURCE Год назад
Not even close. Remember that the James team also had a minibot in the arena as well and that also counts when getting judged. When the minibot was destroyed, it gave DC a 5-0 in both aggression and damage and also Control because that bot was obliterated by the blades of DC. Now for James bot itself, it had no actual functioning weapon as you pointed out therefor aggression would be entirely in favor of DC, giving a real score of 4-1 since James did eventually push DC into the wall. Damage is very easy because James didn't do any damage to DC, in fact if you look at DC after the wall hit, it still looked like it took no external damage, nor did it take any real damage after it cut up the arena floor and side walls. James on the otherhand had part of it's frame damaged as well as the red plastic sheet was removed from the front. So real score for damage would be a 5-0 or at least 4-1. Control is the only thing that James really had for it. Right out of the gate when DC was getting into the middle by breaking everything else around it, James wasn't really moving. You pointed out that it had some mobility issues, but remember that DC moves by rotational force, so as long as that weapon is spinning, it will be moving. Control is probably be 1-4 in James favor is in total it would be either 8-6 or 9-5, Damage Control wins. Not to mention the little mini bot which was an easy 14-1.

I don’t know the rules used in battle it but in a real battlefield it doesn’t make a difference if the damage done to the enemy is with your own weapon or using their weapon and it’s flaws against them. In this contest James took advantage of its strength (maneuver and movement) to overcome the advantage of DCs weapon by exploiting its weakness, not being able to maneuver. That’s a win to James.

In all seriousness, WHY did this arena not have steel kick plates? It’s becoming a standard thing for robot arenas built to contain any weight division above American antweights for this exact reason. Kinda baffling how wood was used for the floor and side barriers, but a featherweight arena in this day and age of robot combat seriously needs steel kick plates!
@richardhanck972
@richardhanck972 2 года назад
I'd have to say, wood is a _lot_ cheaper and easier to source, place, maintain, and _replace_ than steel is. The kind of steel you'd need to withstand a hit from Depth Charge? Heavy and expensive as all hell. You'd need a forklift to carry a single panel of the floor, smaller panels to keep the individual weight manageable, and custom fabrication. That isn't to say there isn't steel _backing_ the wood. But since it's unlikely that steel is going to take a direct hit, it's not engineered to take the direct hit. Also, wood is more graphic when it gets hit, easier to replace in a hurry, cheaper to source locally, and safer for the Bots. A hit like at the start of Depth Charge's run on steel, potentially on a seam between plates? Big spark, Bot does the flippy flip, and then doesn't move because it broke itself.

Think how much wood you go through every year and add that up over time. The UK Arena walls are also steel, just 5mm mild, and while they take a pounding, they are replacable in less than a minute, and if they are stuck you can get them out with a crow bar in around 5 minutes.

@@Team_Panoramic No. Not even that much of a fan, TBH. Basically, I know just enough to get myself into trouble. My thought is that the advantage of having an easily replaceable ablative surface on the interior of the actual safety measures is two-fold. One, it saves wear and tear on what you're actually relying on to contain the carnage. Two, it provides for an impressive visual for the crowd. Sure, you get nice sparks and loud noises from steel on steel, but seeing shreds of wood being flung across the arena, while seeing the gouge left behind in a high contrast scar is more interesting visually, at least to me. The wood surface, if constructed with this in mind, is a lot easier to replace on the fly if it's damaged than if something actually manages to compromise the steel, but it is also easier to damage, so theres a balancing act. The bit about being safer for the bots is not in the interest of making life harder or easier for the build teams or operators, but for making for a _more interesting match_ for the audience. If you have an arena surface that allows the combatants to swing and miss the opponent but hit the arena, without damaging themselves, there's more spectacle to be had. If your arena surface causes that missed hit to be potentially fatal to the combatant, then the operator is going to be a lot more hesitant to actually take that swing, and fights between heavy hitters devolve into who gets into position to deliver a guaranteed hit first. As long as what goes on in the box, _stays_ in the box, that's what's important, right? All I'm trying to say is there may be design considerations beyond simple safety and containment at work. Not that safety and containment should be ignored in favor of spectacle, but affordably enhancing the spectacle while maintaining safety should be the goal of whoever's designing and running the arena.
@Team_Panoramic
@Team_Panoramic 2 года назад
@@richardhanck972 Also, pretty much everything that Creative Framework has said. Having an arena and certain parts of the arena are made of the right steel is far more beneficial than having certain parts of the arena made of wood. In the case of using materials like Hardox, Armox or AR500 at the appropriate thicknesses, they will last longer for an arena and will see more fights than wood ever will. Constantly replacing wooden arena walls is not only more of a hassle but also increases more fight delays and is not ideal considering the amount of events that run in a limited time frame. Steel panels are also not that difficult to build up and replace if they for any given reason need to be, and could easily be carried by two people by hand without the need for any external tools. Let alone a bloody forklift.

I would have thought disabling your opponent would give you the W but I'm soooooooo wrong 😱

The amount of power produced by that thing is so insane that it created a gyroscope strong enough to keep it standing diagonally

I love how they don't even worry about the match they just talk. Yeah, the audience is safe.

This video has led to me watching everything NHRL I can find, even following the live streams. Amazing series and I love the commentary (even thumb wars).

Sometimes these small bots are more destructive than the large professional bots, like battlebots.

Well, and the cage is not as sturdy as the BattleBots cage.

THANK YOU for getting to it, so I don't have to skip through half the video of the announcer saying their names very slowly!

Depth charge could have been replaced by an autonomous beyblade. While the weapon was strong, there was so little control it might as well have been an NPC, James made calculated moves, and we never saw if depth charge was still functional after yeeting itself thanks to James to the ceiling. I'm saddened by the judges decision.

Depth Charge doesn't even qualify as a robot...it's more like a semi-static box hazard. James got robbed here.

To be fair, none of the machines in this show qualify as robots, as they are controlled by human operators, not a CPU. They're R.O.Vs.

Depth charge is a hell of a weapon but is it a robot?

depth charge was impressive but I love that james was spinning wildly after downing their opponent.

How did the judges side for Death Charge on this? James was cheated out of a victory, especially since they gave control points to Death Charge. Like, come on now.

How on earth did Depth Charge win this? Absolute farce imo.
