Multi bots

I love the twins. I think it introduced a new meta and was just fun to watch super fast bots zipping around and they've managed to make it work in a way that takes a lot of technical ability.

I've seen some hating and the YouTube comments about the twins and how it's unfair that they have to knock out both. But I think this is a shake-up that is needed and that will make for really interesting television moving forward.

BattleBots TV Who could defeat this year's champion?

It appears that The Twins are really strong against any conventional meta four wheel vert. So what current competitors could take them down?

First possibility: HUGE. The Twins can't hit anything but its wheels, and they can't really pull off the weapon-on-weapon hits that Minotaur did. They don't really have the durability to take too many hits from Huge's weapon either. Now it wouldn't surprise me to find that Aron Hill has some special anti-HUGE attachment, but we didn't see that this year, and I can only go off what we saw them run at this year's event.

Second possibility: Horizontal weapon bots like Gigabyte or maybe Bloodsport. These kind of designs don't have a vulnerable side, they can damage The Twins on contact no matter what direction they come from. This will come down to a test of speed, can the spinner bot get to a dangerous speed before The Twins can box rush them? If they can't keep their weapon spun up, The Twins will destroy them. And the existing bot design is not favorable to horizontal spinners.

Third possibility: Tough drum spinners like Minotaur, Manta, or possibly Copperhead. These kind of robots are hard to kill, and have a large weapon relative to their overall size, so even with better maneuverability it's hard for one of The Twins to hit them without being hit themselves. And Copperhead did actually beat The Twins, although I think that was a deeply questionable decision by the judges. I think Minotaur would stand a pretty good chance of beating them. Manta maybe not as much, it seems to be more fragile and more susceptible to getting flipped over and not being able to recover.
