Chapter 265 Bob VS Teddy
"Everyone! Please welcome our contestants for the next match! Give it up for Bob The Unbuilder and Teddy!!"
Another round of cheers rang out and the space beside us had been occupied by two new groups of people.
For some reason, both of these groups were couples though one was a heterosexual one while the other was a lesbian one.
The only reason why I even knew they were couples was because I saw them holding hands and sharing a kiss before they came over and sat beside us.
Why are there so many couples here? Is this like a popular dating spot or something?
Putting that aside, the battle robot both Ries and I had bet on slowly lumbered into view from the other side of the ring.
Unlike the previous two that closely resembled humans in shape, this one was built with a head of a bull complete with metallic bull horns and instead of fists, it had a giant spiked mace as its right hand and a chainsaw in the other.
When Teddy came into view, I realised that it was literally a robotic, giant bear with spikes jutting out from its shoulders and back.
I frowned a little, "Are there restrictions as to what kind of bots could enter these fights?"
She nodded, "They have weight limitations for that. They divide them up into different categories and if the battlebot's weight passes the threshold, they will be classed in the other category. Only battlebots within the same category are allowed to challenge each other."
I then nodded at the weapons on Bob's arms, "And any restrictions on the equipment?"
"Oh, that would depend on the type of tournament. For this one, only melee weapons are allowed. And they are pretty loose on that rule where as long as the weapon is connected to the bot in some way, it would be considered a melee weapon."
"So even if it was a spiked ball attached to a chain?"
"Yep~"
"And bringing in an equipped weapon like a sword is also allowed?"
"Yep."
"What if they throw that sword?"
"Funnily enough, that isn't allowed."
Well, I guess it makes things interesting for the audience so why not, right?
Once again, the two robots stood on the stage with their Roboteers standing beside them while the emcee introduced the contestants.
I did not miss the fact that while the emcee brought up the past wins for Teddy to hype us up, they only briefly mentioned it for Bob and instead focused on the specs.
If I hadn't heard from the earlier guy about this robot constantly losing its past matches, I would be questioning that right now.
"What a start to the fight!! Teddy has already ripped off one of Bob's arms in the first few seconds of the fight! But what's this?! It seems like Bob hasn't given up yet! He's still going to fight!"
Sure enough, the bull headed robot did not look defeated and rose up to its full height once again to face against its opponent without even caring that it lost an arm.
Or maybe that's just because the robots don't have any facial animations which is what gave us that feeling.
Teddy started circling the one armed robot, as though mocking it while Bob turned to maintain eye contact with the bear robot.
Without warning, Teddy lunged at Bob again but this time Bob was ready and swung its arm right as the bear came within range.
The spiked ball caught the bear across the side of the head, knocking the entire robot towards the side and flinging it away from Bob.
Damn, that robot must have weighed at least one or two tonnes, so for it to be sent flying like that... That punch must have had a lot of force behind it.
Teddy managed to land on its feet and tried to turn back around to face Bob, only for Bob to swing its arm down and shoot out its spiked ball to fling it at the bear.
The bear robot only just managed to raise its arm to defend itself before the ball smashed into its paw, the impact emitting a loud crash sound that echoed throughout the arena.
Some of the metal plates on the paw flew off and when Bob reeled the mace back, it was revealed that while it did not cut off its limb, the front paw was now crushed and rendered useless.
Unperturbed, the bear robot lunged towards the bull, trying to catch it before it could completely reel its spiked ball back into its arm.

Seeing that, Bob quickly dove into a roll to avoid it but the ball was still not back in its arm when the bear lunged at it again.
It tried to roll away again but it wasn't fast enough this time and the bear managed to strike at its side with its metallic claws, ripping open a hold in its abdomen and sending the armour plates flying away to expose its internal machinery.
As though that wasn't enough, as Teddy was passing by Bob's side, the spikes on the bear robot's back suddenly elongated, piercing through the remaining arm and its leg before it retracted back to their original position.
There was a loud hiss coming from Bob before it stumbled and fell onto a knee, no doubt the earlier attack taking away its capability to stand up properly.
"Ahh... I told you, that guy wouldn't win..." Someone groaned behind us.
"It's not over yet!"
"Face it... That blow to the arm cut half its swinging power, it wouldn't be able to make Teddy fly like it did before... You only bet on him because you knew Bob had a new type of hydraulic to increase its arm swing power and that's gutted too."
"Fuck... I bet my three months of savings on him dude..."
"Tough luck man..."
Ah damn... Well, I guess you win some and you lose some?
At least this proves that not everything I bet on would win.
