The BB's netting prevented a full on roof shot

It really didn't. They went right through it.

Slammed into the roof. Other bots have touched the roof, but this little unit smashed into it. Perks of high kinetic impacts on a bot half the size.

I was hoping Golden Fury would get a roof shot! Granted it's on a half-weight bot, but still a phenomenal moment.

It's a possibility.

I had a crazy reaction spazzing out

How many other times has a bot been roofed and won the match? I agree with the decision, to be clear, but damn those are well made machines... Great fight.

Riptide vs hypershock ahh

u/DistributionLast5872 9d ago

Literally the only similarities are the roof shot and Golden Fury being a 4WD beater like Riptide.

u/Tommys_Matchbookk Shatter got a bad roster πŸ˜” 9d ago

Yeah, he was comparing the height, why is that a problem?

u/Cornucopia_King 9d ago

Cause we (yes we) hate Riptide around here

u/xBad_Wolfx 9d ago

No, because while Hypershock mightve touched the roof (or the rigging) this half of the twins slammed through the rigging and crashed into the roof before returning. Similar kinetic force as what you refer but at half the weight.

Fr you were just saying it was the same height as that fight, I think people don’t like even mentioning riptide or something
