The new BattleBots season kicked off with a wild matchup between Minotaur and SawBlaze. Minotaur started strong with its usual aggressive style, flipping SawBlaze early and throwing some powerful shots. But SawBlaze stayed patient, found its openings, and turned the fight around fast. Once it got underneath Minotaur, it started controlling the battle with its signature hammer saw. From there, it was all downhill for Minotaur.
Minotaur caught fire mid-match, got flipped multiple times, and looked totally lost. SawBlaze kept pressing, dragging Minotaur around the box like a trophy and running it straight into the arena hazards. At one point, SawBlaze’s blade broke off, leaving both bots damaged, but it didn’t change the outcome. By the final moments, Minotaur was barely moving, cornered, and still on fire.
The fight went the full time and ended in a judges’ decision. There was no doubt about the result. SawBlaze took the win unanimously and reminded everyone why it’s one of the most brutal bots in the competition. Strong start to the season for Team SawBlaze.
