Description Episode 11
Seriously, you guys need to slow down with biting down on your opponents!

Bite force is built by Paul Ventimiglia that fought in the reboot of Battlebots on ABC season 1. It was seeded 3rd, had interchangeable lifting arms and wedges, and not only became the Battlebots Champion, but it was the VERY first tracked robot to win any robot show! It went on later to compete with a vertical spinner, but it went out to Chomp in the round of 16. Paul also became a champ in 2009 with his previous heavyweight, Brutality, as well as his middleweight that won in 2005, Green Wave. Back to Bite Force though. Their biggest strength is they're unexpected when you have to fight them. The downside, tracks are always suspect to fault, especially against spinners.

Bucky the Robot is a new competitor that has yet to make an appearance in Robot Wars, but it will be shown this Sunday. Their weapon consists of a CO2 guillotine blade, very similar to series 5 Mousetrap. The two sharpen teeth apply the damage, but it's more of a clamp bot than a crusher, or as they call it, a "biter bot". I... can't really say anything is strong in this thing. It's got everything practically exposed when the weapon is up, it looks sluggish, and I really hope Apex fights this thing, but it probably won't.

Who's going to bite the big one though?

Bite Force.

While Buck the Robot looks highly creative, the robot doesn't look effective with a wedge that's too steep and the robot can get stranded on its flat sides.

Bite Force on the other hand might look more on the generic side, but it is very effective because it has a more shallow front end and its weapon can lift other robots off the floor.

I agree with this. Bucky was honestly just really gimmicky. Bite Force was built to win
