00:27:38,870 --> 00:27:41,880 Took a wheel off of Big Dill as time was expiring. 636 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,910 But you can't say enough about the tenacity of Big Dill. 637 00:27:46,110 --> 00:27:47,810 [Kenny] Yeah, I mean this fight was a lot of fun, Chris. 638 00:27:48,010 --> 00:27:49,020 This was back and forth. 639 00:27:49,220 --> 00:27:51,260 There's MaDCatTer getting some hits in. 640 00:27:51,460 --> 00:27:53,570 Big Dill got a bunch of licks of his own 641 00:27:53,770 --> 00:27:55,290 and had a great start to this fight 642 00:27:55,490 --> 00:27:56,790 and it was a great finish as well. 643 00:28:00,340 --> 00:28:02,440 The results from the judges are in. 644 00:28:05,790 --> 00:28:09,240 The winner by unanimous decision is, 645 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,570 MaDCatTer! 646 00:28:18,770 --> 00:28:20,790 [audience cheering and applauding] 647 00:28:36,100 --> 00:28:38,020 [Chris] Well, I guess an amazing job 648 00:28:38,220 --> 00:28:39,150 there by MaDCatTer, 649 00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:40,640 just making to three minutes 650 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,360 because they were taking a ton of shots 651 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:43,710 in the first half of that fight. 652 00:28:43,910 --> 00:28:46,810 [Kenny] Yeah, this was another solid showing from Big Dill. 653 00:28:47,010 --> 00:28:49,050 Major props to Emmanuel Carrillo 654 00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:50,950 for making this a close fight, 655 00:28:51,150 --> 00:28:53,910 something I don't think MaDCatTer was expecting. 656 00:28:54,110 --> 00:28:55,600 And for Martin Mason's squad, 657 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,220 they moved to 2-1. 658 00:28:57,420 --> 00:29:00,400 And winning a slugfest like this always looks good 659 00:29:00,590 --> 00:29:01,600 to the selection committee. 660 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,770 [Chris] All right. 661 00:29:02,970 --> 00:29:05,740 Coming up, it is Ribbot versus JackPot, 662 00:29:05,940 --> 00:29:08,930 two winless squads looking to turn their seasons around. 663 00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:12,020 And we'll also get the results back 664 00:29:12,220 --> 00:29:15,290 from Malice's appeal of its loss to Valkyrie. 665 00:29:15,490 --> 00:29:16,360 The judges are, in fact, 666 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,600 reviewing whether Malice's weapon was up 667 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,500 and running at the end of the match, 668 00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:23,260 something Bunny feels they overlooked. 669 00:29:23,460 --> 00:29:25,120 Let's listen in on the judges' review. 670 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,530 [indistinct chatter] 671 00:29:28,730 --> 00:29:31,020 - [Lisa] There's. - [Derek] Yes. 672 00:29:31,220 --> 00:29:33,750 [audience cheering and applauding] 673 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,400 We are back on BattleBots and Kenny Florian, 674 00:29:45,590 --> 00:29:46,980 we have history. 675 00:29:47,180 --> 00:29:50,810 For the first time ever, an appeal has been overturned. 676 00:29:51,010 --> 00:29:53,020 [Chris] Earlier this evening you saw Bunny Sauriol 677 00:29:53,220 --> 00:29:55,120 and Malice essentially use her challenge 678 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,460 flag and appeal. 679 00:29:56,660 --> 00:29:59,460 She said, "I think we beat Valkyrie and Lucy Du." 680 00:29:59,660 --> 00:30:03,050 So the judges got together with our steward, Mike Jeffries. 681 00:30:03,250 --> 00:30:04,880 They all looked at the videotape. 682 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,120 And upon further review, we have a reversal. 683 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,330 So there you go. 684 00:30:09,530 --> 00:30:10,930 This is the beauty of the appeal. 685 00:30:12,270 --> 00:30:13,770 [Kenny] You know, Bunny made her case. 686 00:30:13,970 --> 00:30:14,910 The judges agreed. 687 00:30:15,110 --> 00:30:17,240 We can see the updated scorecards right here. 688 00:30:18,580 --> 00:30:19,810 The damage points Valkyrie earned 689 00:30:20,010 --> 00:30:21,400 from disabling Malice's weapon, 690 00:30:21,590 --> 00:30:23,750 get wiped away and Malice gets the win. 691 00:30:24,820 --> 00:30:27,020 [Chris] So Malice goes from 1-2, 692 00:30:27,220 --> 00:30:31,120 to 2-1 and is perhaps now in control of its own 693 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,460 postseason destiny 694 00:30:32,660 --> 00:30:35,810 heading into its final qualifying fight with Gruff. 695 00:30:36,010 --> 00:30:39,050 This successful appeal was really clutch for Bunny Sauriol, 696 00:30:39,250 --> 00:30:41,260 who's gonna join us as a guest analyst 697 00:30:41,460 --> 00:30:43,150 later tonight, by the way. 698 00:30:43,350 --> 00:30:44,330 And because she won it, 699 00:30:44,530 --> 00:30:45,530 she will hang on to her challenge 700 00:30:45,730 --> 00:30:48,330 and she will still have one more appeal to utilize 701 00:30:48,530 --> 00:30:49,950 throughout the rest of the season. 702 00:30:50,150 --> 00:30:51,080 [Chris] All right. 703 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,220 We continue on here 704 00:30:52,420 --> 00:30:55,360 with a pair of teams in dire need of a victory. 705 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,670 We've got JackPot, 706 00:30:56,870 --> 00:30:59,710 captained by Jeff Waters, 0-2. 707 00:30:59,910 --> 00:31:03,460 Ribbot led by David Jin, also 0-2. 708 00:31:03,660 --> 00:31:06,360 Those are surprising records for a pair of bots 709 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,570 viewed in the pre-season as legitimate contenders. 710 00:31:09,770 --> 00:31:11,190 Their backs are against the wall. 711 00:31:11,390 --> 00:31:14,720 And these two captains know this might be their last shot. 712 00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:18,770 [David] Last season we had such a strong start 713 00:31:18,970 --> 00:31:21,400 going 3-0, all the knockouts as well. 714 00:31:21,590 --> 00:31:23,740 We have a lot of work to do to turn the momentum around. 715 00:31:23,940 --> 00:31:24,840 We really want to start winning 716 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,670 and not just winning close matches. 717 00:31:26,870 --> 00:31:28,220 We want to really have dominant performances, 718 00:31:28,420 --> 00:31:29,710 to make sure that the selection committee 719 00:31:29,910 --> 00:31:32,260 knows that we're still here to compete and that Ribbot 720 00:31:32,460 --> 00:31:33,400 is just as good as ever. 721 00:31:33,590 --> 00:31:34,570 We just have some tough matchups, 722 00:31:34,770 --> 00:31:36,130 but we're still able to push forward. 723 00:31:36,820 --> 00:31:38,770 [announcer] JackPot! 724 00:31:38,970 --> 00:31:41,120 Going into World Championship VII, 725 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,530 we've had never lost in the qualifier matches. 726 00:31:44,730 --> 00:31:46,410 Now we're sitting at 0-2. 727 00:31:48,750 --> 00:31:51,500 If we can make it 2-2 by the end of the event, 728 00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:54,120 I feel like we can get ourselves a mid-level 729 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,550 seating position going into the World Championship. 730 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,080 [David] So JackPot presents the big vertical spinner challenge. 731 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,260 It's just the conundrum that everybody has to deal with. 732 00:32:03,460 --> 00:32:04,400 My problem is reach. 733 00:32:04,590 --> 00:32:05,910 That's all it comes down to, as their weapon 734 00:32:06,110 --> 00:32:08,670 is so much bigger than our vertical spinner. 735 00:32:08,870 --> 00:32:10,290 If we ever go head on against JackPot, 736 00:32:10,490 --> 00:32:11,500 we're gonna lose that reach battle. 737 00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:12,710 They're gonna hit something on us 738 00:32:12,910 --> 00:32:14,460 before we can touch anything on them. 739 00:32:14,660 --> 00:32:15,880 [David] Fortunately, we were able to get 740 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,360 our undercutter back into commission 741 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,330 and we're gonna be running it in this matchup. 742 00:32:19,530 --> 00:32:21,740 I'm a little worried about Ribbot going into this fight. 743 00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:22,880 I saw that they're getting 744 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,430 the horizontal configuration going. 745 00:32:24,630 --> 00:32:26,120 That's the most dangerous robot. 746 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,430 That's the robot that ended up top two last season 747 00:32:29,630 --> 00:32:31,050 for overall seed. 748 00:32:31,250 --> 00:32:33,220 Ribbot likes to fully send it. We like to fully send it. 749 00:32:33,420 --> 00:32:34,570 They're gonna be a lot of fast driving. 750 00:32:34,770 --> 00:32:36,240 A lot of big hits. It's gonna be great. 751 00:32:40,370 --> 00:32:41,810 Somebody's getting win number one. 752 00:32:42,010 --> 00:32:44,670 I can't wait to see which bot it is. Faruq, 753 00:32:44,870 --> 00:32:45,840 take it away. 754 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,430 [audience cheering and applauding] 755 00:32:49,630 --> 00:32:51,460 In the Red Square, 756 00:32:51,660 --> 00:32:55,050 it's got a crazy long tongue to catch lots of flies 757 00:32:55,250 --> 00:32:58,500 and everyone who sees it gets chopped and dies. 758 00:32:58,700 --> 00:33:01,570 So don't get too close or next could be you. 759 00:33:01,770 --> 00:33:05,460 And your last words will be, "Hey, what did that tongue do?
