SPOILER!!! If you havent watched the new Episode on BattleBots Youtube, do it now!
We made it through round three with a winning record! Cobalt did amazing against Jackpot and won the rematch even with 2.5 wheels (we know this aint the combo on this surface). Cobalt showed an immense amount of durability, power, and being able to still perform under less then premier conditions being handycapped by sup par wheels and traction. If we move on this will have to be remedied as the next groupings will be even tougher! ... Thank you everyone for rooting us on and Team Cobalt! Wonder if we make it through? Time will tell be sure to tune in to Battlebots on Youtube every Thursday!

After our fight with Copperhead BattleBot our tooth on our main terminator weapon was a bit chipped. In order to repair the tooth we had to have the BattleBots house welder Kelly do something called hard facing to build the material back up. The turn around time is quite tight so the weapon had to be pulled from Cobalt after the fight and over to the Welding bay it went. After the weapon cooled overnight straight to the mill it went and a new tooth was machined like nothing had happened compliments of our in house machinist Brandon Upshaw and Mark Demers was giving some helpful tips and shenanigan bunny ears as well. We would be going into the match with a fresh disk. Cobalt will be fresh and show ready for the JackPot-Battlebots fight we promise.

The rematch we have had to wait for since the last World Championships. Cobalt is currently 1-1 for this season but 0 and 1 vs JackPot-Battlebots (they beat us at the last WC). This match in round 3 of Pro League could save our season, so everything is on the line. Can we redeem ourselves against this very powerful machine or will our Proleague season go down 1-2 and push us out of the Championships for good? If you do the math we still have a shot if the Twins lose to Copperhead BattleBot and we win against Jackpot. That would be a 2-1 record for each of the top teams in our bracket. We can't tell you how it goes but we will say its another one of the best matches you will see this season. We both put everything on the line for the fans and for that Giant Bolt!

Like the Mona Lisa when shes going back together. Though we wrench for months before, hours inbetween, and only in the match for 3 minutes or less. Its crazy time, money, but the experience is unlike anything else with friends and family all tied into it. Worth everything that is sacrificed win, lose, or draw, we love this and thank you for rooting on Cobalt! See everyone in Round 3 against JackPot-Battlebots.

What people may not understand is after a fight like we had against Copperhead BattleBot, everything must be stripped, inspected, refreshed, repaired, replaced, and repainted. Cobalt will be fresh and show ready for JackPot-Battlebots, but not before she goes under the knife and gone through with a fine tooth comb. We will have traction for round 3 we promise. Onto the next fight we are 1-1 can we go 2-1 and have a chance at saving our season or go 1-2 and be out for good!? This is a rematch for us against Jackpot on BB, but we have a new driver and setup from last time, will that change our outcome or is Jackpot too much for us to handle? Time will tell be sure to root on Team Cobalt! BattleBots Live On Youtube every Thursday with new Episodes.

What a Round 2 opening for Cobalt! We were able to take the win over the ultra durable Copperhead BattleBot. Going into this fight we changed over to the Dave Moulds front forks. This change was amazing for both driving, purchase on our opponent and they were ultra durable taking some hard hits from copperhead... We were able to get a great shelf hit later in the match that we believe pushed the decision or way. Hats off to the Copperhead team and great job! .... For those watching you will notice Cobalt was a bit loose out there. This was not by design 😐... The new front end was new for Matt driving so we took a bit more time in the test box with fresh wheels. We had used this style wheel in Abu Dhabi and they wore awesome going several matches so we didnt account for the extra wear we would see getting at BattleBots. Well Battlebots puts a ruff liner style coating on their floor almost making it like sand paper to wheels... After the test box we saw the wheels and deemed they would be fine thinking we had at least one match worth of tire tread left, we would be wrong. Almost immediately in the match Cobalt was on Ice we had inadvertently engaged Cobalts new drift mode. For basically the entire match Cobalt was on rims lacking any substantial grip. We are excited to pull off the win and moving forward we will have on either brand new tires or we arnt taking a ton of time whipping around in the test box! What can we say we were excited to try the new to us front end! Now onto Jackpot! We are 1 and 1 can we save our season!? Thank you for tuning in and cheering us on. - Team Cobalt

Cobalt took a little bit of damage from our last fight against the Twins. But nothing mission critical, few stitches and she'll be up and running like new. We worked day and night and a new setup that Matt and Derek have yet to use. But will the setup change work!? Little hint the original designer had some input, the Dave Moulds forks will be in play! How will they drive though, will it be the answer we need for better ground game? How will they fair up against one of the most destructive and tough bots in the field Copperhead BattleBot? Cobalt will need to give everything to take on this deadly Snake! But will it be enough!? You thought the Twins fight was good? Some are saying the best of Round 1 , you haven't experienced anything yet! Copperhead vs Cobalt will go down as one of the best matches in BattleBots history and we'd put money on it. Be sure to tune in on Battlebots YouTube Next Thursday! Root on Cobalt we give it our all for the fans each and everytime.
