Major Stories

• The Rise of "No Name": Historically known as a robot with "so much potential" that hadn't quite realized it, No Name finally had its breakout performance. It tore through the bracket to reach the Grand Finals, with the announcers noting, "Finally, No Name... it's their time to shine." Although they fell short in the final against G Money, it was a career-defining day for the bot.

• The "Headless Hippo" Refuses to Die: During the Antweight Rumble, the novelty robot Into the Shadows (dressed as a Hungry Hungry Hippo) suffered a catastrophic cosmetic failure when its head was ripped off early in the fight. Dubbed the "Headless Hippo" by the announcers, it continued to drive aggressively on one wheel, surviving against the spinner Bone Crusher to win the crowd’s favor and the rumble title.

• Splinter vs. Cruncher – "Most Roofings Per Fight": In a prelim match between Splinter and Cruncher, Splinter's vertical spinner was dialed in perfectly. It launched Cruncher into the arena ceiling repeatedly, prompting the commentary team to remark it was "the most roofings per fight we've ever seen."

Top Moments

• Captain Crunch goes to "Suplex City": In a dominant display of control, Captain Crunch utilized its grabbing mechanism to repeatedly lift and slam its opponent, Zipper, into the floor. The "suplex" style throws were a highlight of the day, showing that control bots can be just as exciting as spinners.

• One Hit Wonder Explodes Duo: Living up to its name, One Hit Wonder landed a single, massive kinetic hit on the multibot Duo. The impact sent one half of Duo flying across the arena and instantly changed the momentum of the fight, proving the effectiveness of high-risk, high-reward weaponry.

• G Money’s Gritty Comeback: In the Loser’s Bracket Final against Thagamizer, G Money entered the arena missing significant chunks of its wheels and looking worse for wear. Despite the damage, G Money managed to disable Thagamizer’s weapon and out-drive them to claw its way into the Grand Finals.
