Manta is the official Heavyweight RoboGames champion of 2023! The first ever rookie to win! We take a look at this new robot and give our opinions on how great Manta can be. #battlebots #robotics #blog

Manta is a 250lb Drum Spinner built by Nick Dobrikov. After a dominant performance, it's time to ask ourselves if a rookie has the chops to take on the TOP BATTLEBOTS CONTENDERS!? Zach and Diana do a deep analysis into the history of RoboGames, the Pedigree of champions, how they've fared in Battlebots, and their thoughts on whether or not Manta should be accepted into next season.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ROBOGAMES for putting on an excellent event and streaming. If you'd like to participate in the event or watch live, visit: robogames.net
