There was a major upset on Battlebots when reigning champ, Bite Force, took on 12th seeded Chomp. While many experts thought the fight was a foregone conclusion, there was one small chance for an upset if everything went completely perfect for Chomp. Bite Force is a heavily armored and reinforced compact bot. The only chance Chomp had of stopping the reigning champ was to land a blow in the small exposed chain drive behind its spinning weapon. And that's exactly what happened. Almost immediately after the battle began, Chomp used it's pneumatic pick-axe to destroy Bite Force's chain drive. It was a highly improbable shot and one that shocked the crowd and announcers. While Bite Force was no longer had an offensive weapon, it was still piloted by an undefeated driver so it put on a pretty impressive display of knocking Chomp over and avoiding several fatal blows. In fact the fight last the full 3 minutes and had to be decided by the judges, despite the fact that Bite Force was unable to use a traditional spinner weapon. In the end Chomp was crowned the victor in a unanimous decision and Bite Force was sent packing.
