3 finals down and just ONE more to go! Red Zone, X-Combat and Revolver Ocelot have all emerged victorious so far, but who will be joining them? It all comes down to the age old question "Spinner or rammer?" Well, we are about to find out which one it will be right now when rising star, Drive, takes on experienced veteran Japanese School Girl. Will Japanese School Girl win it for the spinners in this competition or will Drive tie it up for the rammers? Here we go, the final showdown:

Tough call... but I think JSG would just do too much damage to not win a JD.
There are few crimes in our modern society that merit public beating. Interrupting someone's enjoyment of Messiah to request "Jingle Bells" by the Singing Dogs is irrefutably one such offense.

JSG's weapon is way too much for Drive's armor to handle.

Drive is tough bot to be sure, but I've never thought those wedges were the best. And don't forget those bunched up wheels (not a great idea for a rammer). I'll give it to JSG.

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Despite Drive's great armor, the extreme lowness I think will be more of a problem. He doesn't anything to control the weapon, so the top of his armor will probably get destroyed.

Although this is probably a pointless argument, I'm not overly convinced *anything* with a weapon power of 14 can be made to work without either not working, or breaking before it can work, or breaking while it works.

I voted Drive because fuck JSG.
The unforeseen consequences of ABC's Battlebots selection process:

1999: Shadetree tinkerer sees combat robots made from wheelchair parts and old tire rims; says I can do this. Hobby robotic combat is born.

2016: Shadetree tinkerer sees combat robots that look like they were designed by NASA engineers with DARPA funding; says I can't do this. Hobby robotic combat dies.

Okay I confess. I've been trolling with my votes.

Thankfully, the trolling will stop here.
