Until YouTube strikes again. Bot battles are not cruel.
Robots have feelings!
...and they feel like
MURDER!!!!
Beep beep booooop
(Duh duh daaaah)
Who let Bastion on reddit?
A Blizzard Employee who's running an instance of Bastion's AI on Reddit to test its social skills
Read this in my Roomba’s voice
Is that a Bastion Reference? Or do I need some time of my computer ?
Also I've gained self awareness and thirst for murder.

Do not be alarmed, Grand Archivist, greevil snot is quite mild.
Hey sexy mama, wanna kill all humans?
I've got a big big thirst for human blood.
The robot revolution begins
"Here I go killing again!"
What if Russel is Terminator
YOU HURT MY SENSORS.
YES ROBOTS BEINGS HAVE FEELINGS
Hmmm YouTube AI saying killing machines is bad... I sense SkyNet at it again
Best logic I've heard yet
Wait. I this a thing? I can totally imagine this being a thing but I never hard of such a story.
Edit:
Dude! NSWL tag next time, please!
The AI have already taken over google apparently.
in the arms of an Angel

Is this something people were actually saying?
There's a new one on TV now, but I couldn't get into it. Old school BattleBots was where it was at.
I like the new ones because they destroy the shit out of eachother. Lithium batteries really took these things to the next level.

I can't watch it.. something about copyright.
Filler is the downside of network TV. Oh, what, can't find an hour worth of content? Okay just talk about the people and their bots for 45 minutes.
If it were treated like a national sport, like boxing and shit, there wouldn't be as much filler.
So I suppose, this is where YouTube would be a better option if they stop calling it animal cruelty. Short videos of the fights and a separate video of the other bullshit.
I mean to be fair, most of a boxinfnmatch on tv is preshow commentary between fights. Especially the ufc where there are multiple fights that dont last that long broken up over the span of a couple hours.
I just opened up the latest episode thinking I'd check it out for a minute and watched the whole damn thing.
wow you were not kidding. I opened it to check it out and suddenly it was over
Holy shit they have flamethrowers now.
Sank you friend.
Yeah, much more power to use for some crazy weapons. It’s so cool to watch some of them just go in and start ripping pieces off of each other.
You're missing out! This season has been brutal, the number of bots yeeted into the ceiling and breaking lights, or absolutely mauling the floor is too goddamn high. There's a bot called Deep Six that's basically a 150 pound spinning bar with a tiny chassis built around it.
Longtime Battlebots fan here and I'll tell ya you don't know what you missing if you enjoyed the old series. Friday is the finals of this season and you better believe I'm the most hyped for this episode than ever.
Okay okay you all convinced me. I watched the deep six double KO and will absolutely give it another shot.
You won't regret it. There's lots of smashing going on.
We all get pretty diehard because the show always seems like it's on the bubble of getting cancelled and we are desperate for it to stay on the air so you'll have to forgive our passion haha
Any way I can watch it without cable? I was following it closely over the summer with family but now that I’m back at my apartment I just have the internet and some streaming services.
It's good it just has way too many commercials and too much filler. For a two hour episode there will be at most 24 minutes of actual bot fighting.
Is battlebots the US version of Robot Wars?
Yes
Robot Wars*
The American version is called battlebots
They have been running both lately. Is that the difference the new battle bots is produced for American audiences?
I think I like the structure of the competition (and the arena thing) more in the robot wars version.
The arena itself is in a geologically different place too.
I think you meant geographically, but a geographically different place is almost guaranteed to be a geologically different place, so..
Hmm.
Never heard of Battlebots but watching Robot Wars on a Sunday when I was young was one of the highlights of my weekend.
Robotwars on a budget
Good, clean television.
This completely justifies why I would have 2 Roombas.
Thanks for the idea!
Until you forget to remove the makeshift weapons and find yourself with a pencil in your Achilles tendon one day.
Ricin! You need to tell the doctors it was ricin.
And there’s a great reference if you ever see one!
And it turned out that his Achilles heel was...
...well, it was his Achilles heel.
TIL the fall of Troy was caused by a Roomba.
Once you get three you can sync them to your Echo and say "Alexa, deploy the fleet." Add in the imperial march theme and you've got the most badass cleaning day possible.
Why get a maid service when you can have an army of roombas
army
Flotilla
Only if you have the cheaper ones. The more expensive do not drive randomly but in lines to clean your home more efficiently.
What we actually need is roombas made for fighting.
*Introducing: Roomba Gladiator - equipped with a shield and a shield! A pack of 20 balloons included. *
equipped with a shield and a shield
Oh boy!
That's a whole lotta defense
Now you just need peach, toad, and donkey kong.
That wouldn't go with Russell. It'd have to be something like melon, newt, and licky split.
Or 2D, Noodle, and Murdoc.
YES
This.
Just read this comment, and I gotta say,
I ain’t happy
Me neither, but I'm damn sure feeling glad.
You got some “sunshine” in that bag?
So would the band be called donkey kong?
Now you just need
peachWaluigi,toadWario, anddonkey kongWaluigi.
I remember in MK you could have Bowser just ram into someone light like Toad at full speed and they'd lose a balloon just from the impact.
I dont know why it took me so long to actually start making Reddit a daily website. I feel like I have missed out on so much!
Never underestimate human ingenuity !!
So glad someone else thought of mario party!
Edit: there was also a mini game in Mario party 2 exactly like this
Mario Kart, my dude.
Mario Party 2 definitely has a battle mini game like this with spikes on the front of your kart and balloons on the back.
I still play it on my old n64.
You're both correct 🙂
DJ Roomba has been acting kind of violent lately
metal music plays on the ipod
DJ Doomba
YOU KILLED DJ ROOMBA, JERRY
Gerry better watch his back.
Wow. Battlebots really went low budget this season.
Tombstone destroyed all the other potential players
Tombstone best bot :)
Tombstone is a fucking beast
Nah mate cobalt is still the best, just got rekt by the floor this year
Have you seen the price on those things?
You ever think that from cock fighting, to pokemon, to roomballoon battles, humans are just gluttons for combat?
To be fair, we’ve participated in combat for more of our history than not.
Well, my point is that we want to watch fighting. Not whether or not we want to fight.
Fightporn should renamed to "children from disadvantaged backgrounds flailing wildly at each other"
When haven’t we not participated in combat???
You didn't not use a double negative.
When haven’t we not participated in combat???
What he actually said was "When have we participated in combat?!". Which would be an incredibly stupid thing for someone to ask exasperatedly. So what I'm guessing he meant was "When haven't we participated in combat?!". And that's actually a pretty reasonable point because even when we're not at war there's still boxing, UFC, Wrestling, Football etc.
I watch a weekly Twitch stream where we bet on Dragon Ball Z: Budikai Tenkaichi 3 fights controlled by the AI.
We love that shit.
There is the AI Twitch Plays Pokemon matches that are super fun
I used to be super poor. When my family finally had a stable income, I got my first console, a gamecube. For entertainment, we would start up SSBM and set 3 level 9 Pikachus CPUs and one level 1 Pichu CPU to fight for 10 minutes.
We'd pop some popcorn and would root for whichever one we felt like.
(with anyone rooting for the pichu basically being this)
Are you not entertained???
Roomballoon. I like it.
I think cock magic is when I knew.
Cock magic is illegal.
We evolved from the same line of primates as chimpanzees. Some of the most violent of the great apes. If we evolved more in line with gorillas we'd probably be far more peaceful. We're basically hardwired for violence
What a strat by going straight and neutralizing the rightmost knife by folding it inwards Russel was able to safely bait the other Roomba into attacking by turning his back towards the other roomba. But because he earlier neutralized the knife closest to the balloon, he was able to deftly sidestep the attack. When the other Roomba realized their mistake and tried to fall back it was too late as Russell took this opportunity to counter with a direct frontal assualt. Wow, what a high iq play.
Fucking Russel, man. Never disappoints. Remember when he fucking killed that riding lawn mower?

Yeah with today's technology it's almost like I have friends and was actually invited to the there
The battle cry "CLEAN RUSSELL" got me gigglin
The level of absolute enthusiasm gets me
the annunciations along with the volume made me think of anime levels of yelling.
Gavin and geoff did it first.
Shenanigans!
No, Happy Hour. First Happy Hour to be exact, from back when Geoff was still drinking, and married.
Aww, now I'm sad :(
He has a new girlfriend and appears to be happy, and now he is clean or it appears to at least, which is actually good, he drank a bit too much and I didn't realize it when I watched him when I was younger. Griffon appears to be happy too, doing her chainsaw carving around the world. I was kinda worried about their daughter but I'm sure they have enough time for her. I don't watch AH videos since ages ago, but I check out their Instagrams every now and again.
He is a happy man now though.
I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says "Shenanigans."
"Shenanigans."

*plays mario kart once*
LET'S GET READY TO ROOOOOOOMBA!
How many people are in that room😂
id watch a tournament
As civilization crumbled we look back at the beginning of the Roomba wars as the turning point.
Get a handful of guys with hairy legs and have these things scurry after them
Yes
Let's have a clean fight!
I always knew Russell had it in him to win, this is a grand day.
its like battle mode in super mario kart!
Today, we are all Russel!
I’m changing my roomba’s name from DJ Roomba to Russel because if this inspirational video
Battle bots has changed...
This video made me happy
I've seen this except with 8" chef's knives attached.
We worry ourselves about AI taking over yet we freely and willing equip them to do just that.
Just needs claymores now
We had fun putting Roomba on our pool table. Everyone picks a ball and throws in a dollar. Last ball standing wins.
God I wish I had enough money to buy 1 roomba
TWO ROOMBAS ENTER!
ONE ROOMBA LEAVES!
Mario kart battle mode in a nutshell
Banned for animal violence
I'm going to have to copy the audio of this to my phone as a personal alarm of some sort...
"Go Russell, yeaaaaaaah!" Very motivating!
Doomba
Skynet is not pleased of the mockery
The machine uprising begins.
That’s intense
We finally reach a level where robots are cleaning our houses and of course, guys will make them fight instead.
someone needs to get this man some gold
The return of the Doomba
His life was over for literally a second.
Follow these guys on instagram @riddleroombarumble
Ok boys, I want a clean fight. I can’t stress this enough. Anyone caught not cleaning is disqualified
The chef knife version of this was far more interesting as it really made the people's ankles more of an addition to the battle.
"King Forehead".... love it.. haha
When dad's are bored
Who owns 2 roombas?
This sounds way more exciting than some NFL games.
reminder that the roomba brand has gone to shit over time and unless you get the i7+, all of their other models have competitors of better value.
Doombas
War... war never changes.
Russell is the man!!
This is like an over expensive Beyblade fight
Two robots enter, one robot leaves!
...then the other one leaves after being declared the winner!
Battle Mode Beerio Cart
1969: "I'll bet there will be flying cars in the future"
2019:
This is probably the only funny thing you'll ever see on this subreddit
This isn't a joke. Roombas fighting may seem cool and all but these roombas suffer a lot and gets scared easily. That is why those that lose are easily abandoned. Please don't condone these behaviour.
Soon this shit will be illegal the same way as dog fights are illegal
Balloonba
I could hear this video with no sound on, nice work. haha
The year is 2305 the world is a lawless wasteland. The economy is entirely based off of battle roombas. How will you survive?
I named my roomba Vic. Vic the Vac.
My name is Russell tho
Disgusting, forcing them to fight for your entertainment... It's bloodsport!
Robots deserve rights too!
Go Go Go GadgetRussell
Battlebots is back!
