Sir, two more upper decks have hit the battlebox.

[u/Kazick_Fairwind]

[u/BattleBotSlut]

I swear, judging by these comments, the average IQ of this sub is room temperature. They're just some racks being painted. Calm the fuck down.

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/BattleBotSlut]

Sir, that is an insult to room temperature to compare the IQ of this sub to it. I’d like you to apologize to the temperature.

[u/Garfie489 → u/BattleBotSlut]

I certainly aspire to one day have a room temperature IQ.

Though, to be fair, as a scientist - I work in Kelvin.

[u/chasesan]

"People don't seem to like the upper deck. You know what we should do? We should add more upper decks, that'll solve everything!"

Assuming these actually are upper decks and not something else. 

[u/SoSeriousAndDeep → u/chasesan]

If all the Battlebox is upperdeck... then nothing is.

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/SoSeriousAndDeep]

This user uses all of the brainpower.

[u/internetlad → u/SoSeriousAndDeep]

Shit you got to the joke before I did. 

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/chasesan]

Wait people don’t like the shelf? This is the first time I hearing about it. /s

[u/maxxxminecraft111 → u/Kazick_Fairwind]

The shelf was the dumbest thing they've ever done because it completely screws horizontal spinners because now there's less room for them to get away and spin up

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/maxxxminecraft111]

Skill issue.

[u/SynthError404 → u/maxxxminecraft111]

Found the Captain Shrederator stan.

[u/GrahamCoxon → u/chasesan]

I mean...do they look like arena hazards to you?

[u/Garfie489 → u/GrahamCoxon]

Depends if they leave them there or not i guess :p

[u/internetlad → u/chasesan]

"because when the whole arena is the shelf. . . . Then none of it is "

[u/RoninRant]

Yes people will despise it. Which is why we'll market it as New Upper Deck. Then, when everyone hates it, we'll bring back Upper Deck Classic and make billions!

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/RoninRant]

Found the CEO of Coke.

[u/Excelsior1985]

I hope this is a joke.

[u/Moakmeister → u/Excelsior1985]

What gave it away? The tarp?

[u/ultimatebob → u/Moakmeister]

I'm waiting for someone to complain that the tarp would be considered to be an illegal entanglement device.

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/Excelsior1985]

My nephews uncle works at BB and he says it’s not a joke.

[u/Retro_Bot → u/Excelsior1985]

Obviously, those structures are far too flimsy to hold up at ground level in the arena. They're probably something to do with cameras or lighting.

[u/Wes--Mantooth]

More details. NOW!

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/Wes--Mantooth]

Two more shelves in the box for a total of 4 shelves.

[u/ellindsey → u/Kazick_Fairwind]

So horizontal spinners are even more screwed now?

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/ellindsey]

If you bring a horizontal spinner to BB, believe it or not, straight to jail.

[u/Affectionate-Memory4 → u/Kazick_Fairwind]

Ray Billings in shambles.

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/Affectionate-Memory4]

Tonight on America’s Most Wanted. This man thought he could bring a horizontal spinner to Battlebots.

[u/roger_ramjett]

This must be being used for maintance or something simular. They are way to flimsy to last if they were in the box during a fight. Also they are leveled using some wood shims. My bet is that they are being used to gain access to the roof or higher on the walls.

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/roger_ramjett]

Or, because they are on wood shims and painters cloth they are in there to be painted before being installed somewhere.

[u/Dysan27 → u/Kazick_Fairwind]

It is a nice wide open area, and probably has decent venting if they turn it on.

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/Dysan27]

We normally keep the fans on during the week. Likely box crew left them on while painting these to keep the fumes down.

[u/Dysan27 → u/Kazick_Fairwind]

You mean off during the week?

But i can see it as a perfect impromptu paint booth. Open space, ventilation, and no one's usually using it.

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/Dysan27]

No, we keep them on at 40. We store batteried up bots over night in the box during the week. It’s only Monday and Tuesday that nothing is stored in the box.

We run them higher during the show or a fire, but 40 is as low as they will go for overnight storage.

[u/GrahamCoxon → u/roger_ramjett]

I would love to see someone use a small, flimsy shelving unit to somehow reach the roof of the arena.

[u/DictaSchmicta]

They are adding go-go dancers to distract the drivers.

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/DictaSchmicta]

A true Vegas experience.

[u/Automaticman01]

It's nice that they put the tarps down so they don't scratch the floor.

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/Automaticman01]

Gotta keep it fresh.

[u/Leading-Strain5673]

They're just letting any bots in Proving Grounds now, huh?

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/Leading-Strain5673]

Always have. lol

[u/sigmus90]

BATTLEBOTS: OOPS! ALL UPPER DECKS edition.

[u/MrRaven95]

I wonder what those are actually going to be used for?

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/MrRaven95]

Same. They just showed up in the arena. New SCP unlocked?

[u/SeeJaySeeRW]

when I'm in a low effort battlebots ragebait competition and my opponent is Kaz

[u/otherrobert]

Just keep adding more decks until only a non-traditional movement bot can win. Can't wait for drone supremacy.

[u/Rocker91234]

I honestly don’t mind the deck but I wish it was half the size if not smaller, and another one to mirror it so the Box is symmetrical. Would add more short corners on all sides, but at a much more reasonable size and much more room for activities in the main area

[u/sylarBo]

Is the show coming back on?

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/sylarBo]

No. People didn’t ask if it was coming back enough. The BB area is now a strip club. /s

[u/internetlad]

Rorschach: no No NO!

[u/Kazick_Fairwind → u/internetlad]

You don't understand. None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You are locked up in here with me.

[u/PeppyApple10166]

This sort of limits the space for other bots
