I was still worried though as the smoke coming from Minotaur had me on edge as thatвЂ™s never a good sign. Instead, we saw a return to form for Minotaur as it was aggressive and hit hard. A Minotaur loss wouldвЂ™ve spelled the end for its 2019 season career.

We also had some great battles so IвЂ™m going to list my top four favorite 2019 battles so far and IвЂ™ll update it to a top 10 by the end of the season.Д«y itself the match isnвЂ™t too special but with the story of MinotaurвЂ™s downfall this season there was A LOT hanging in the balance. This gives the show a pulsing excitement thatвЂ™s satisfying to watch and can keep us guessing what happens next. It is equally surprising to see high tier robots like Minotaur struggle to deliver KOs and wins that we come to expect.

While a lot of the new robots are having trouble making an impact (besides Black Dragon, of course), we do see middle-tier robots make a surprise shake up in the arena and suddenly become the buzz of the internet like Rotator and Deathroll. The stars, the robots of course, this year have been most wonderful giving us a lot of thrilling battles that get my heart racing. You could pare a lot of those segments down and squeeze in an extra battle that may not be as stellar as the other fights but still worth the watch. One thing I would like to see more of is buildersвЂ™ reactions to fights since that scene when Mammoth YEETED Axe Backwards out of the arena was hilarious! I still feel they can cut down on the pre-battle filler where we have to wait for the teams to get in placeвЂ¦press the buttonвЂ¦wait some moreвЂ¦and finally start the battle. These segments also show the work the builders go through to get their robot up and running for the next fight as well as their strategies. Jenny Taft, the interviewer on the Floor, is a great conversationalist and does a good job asking questions and gleaming answers from the builders. This additional air time also gives us a lot of clips and interviews on the BuildersвЂ™ Floor which I always appreciate.

We also saw a full Desperado Tournament episode which was great! They cut some of the Desperado battles from airtime last year so IвЂ™m glad they have the whole package this year (and a bonus battle with Deep Six which FINALLY made an appearance after nine episodes). We now watch a steady stream of battles that give us a whole variety of robots fighting each other. On the positive side, the move to two hour episodes is very welcome and a smart choice.

Drivers now have to plan for that dent and wedges are suddenly at a disadvantage.

It can even temporarily wedge a robot onto the ground and even stop it completely like Cobalt who was straight up destroying Duck! before dying to the arena floor. The infamous gash on the arena floor is so prominent that robots racing at top speed can be stopped dead in their tracks by its protrusion. The biggest complaint IвЂ™m seeing, and I agree with, is the BattleboxвЂ™s floor. This season has been wonderful so far but itвЂ™s bogged down by some flaws that I feel should be addressed.

WeвЂ™re halfway through the 2019 Battlebots season and man what a trip! We ended on a high note with the crazy Desperado Tournament with Black Dragon winning against Minotaur in a Brazilian Battle for the ages! With that said, letвЂ™s take a look at this season so far before it resumes tonight.ДЇirst, the negative.
