Message: <blockquote data-quote="Janx" data-source="post: 6108655" data-attributes="member: 8835">that was like a month ago when I saw the first episode.  What I saw was some teams were coordinated.  some were not.  The underdogs scored low on that first test.  And they had ongoing defective behaviors in the ring during their real match.  Thus, many of them remain underdogs.Unfortunately, the syfy site doesn't keep up the same tournament brackets as they skim over on the show, to more readily identify (or confirm) what I'm talking about.Now last night's match was pretty good with Axe vs. the bladed bot.  Both teams had teamwork, tactics, and competence.  I think team Axe made a mistake in choosing a strong team to fight, but cest la vie.An educational discovery is that the bots all have like 5 actuators that connect the chest to the hips.  That's why Commander (or whatever his name was) got chopped in half, and why Axe got the same fate.  Take those out, and the bot crumples.I'm more suprised that there's a limit on how many acuators Setrakian can spend on a bot to repair it.  Or that they can't block the actuators up (put it a solid metal stub), for lost mobility, but functional rigidity.Put it this way, can you really say team Crash is a contender (the orange bot run by the father-daughter nerds)?  They talk big, but present less actual prowess in the first fight.  We'll see how their second fight fairs.</blockquote>
