Description
Effectively just a giant spinning blade carried around by a frame and wheels and BattleBots's definitive glass cannon, Nightmare is a robot that is very powerful, and very fragile. This year, Nightmare lost to Stinger when it was flipped, and it's srimech failed to work. However, Nightmare got a wild card entry to the Round of 32, where it faced Icewave. Both robots suffered severe damage, with Nightmare losing the spinner, and the motors to adjust the wheel arms, leaving it to bounce around the BattleBox, and Icewave losing it's drives, causing it to be counted out. Lucky for Nightmare, as Icewave regained movement just after the count ended. Nightmare is set to face beta in the Round of 16. I'm going to give the edge to beta in that one, as Nightmare is very fragile, and beta has a powerful hammer. Plus, John Reid is a great driver, and his machines have proven to be effective spinner-killers in the past.
