Yeah chomp is an old thing i think. great tactics against it though. Flames have worked once before I forget who it was but they had a scoop that trapped the robot right at their point the flame came out and roasted them

Duck! is one of the few robots who could take on Tombstone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma0pSgKRpeQWe haven't seen a Crash & Burn clone in Battlebots yet either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyYgW_jQsAk
There's not that much filler this series, especially now they've binned off all the presenters apart from Chris and Kenny. Could do with less Faruq though.
There's a guy on Reddit who has done 'fights only' edits of every episode. He's also done the various Chinese fighting robot shows, some of which are worth a watch. I especially recommend some of the fights with Spectre. It's a hydraulic crusher built, with modern tech, by the blokes who built the robot wars house robots. Also Tungsten - a vertical spinner from Dave Moulds (Carbide) and some of Gigabytes are ace too and make me look forward to it's fights this series.

One of the guys in the comments for each of those videos has done the links direct to each fight. The channel owner normally pins them to the top of the comments section or very near the top. Sometimes he's a day or 2 behind the release but it's really handy just clicking his links. The first fight is normally beyond the 6 minute mark so there is still a lot of chat.
King of Bots looks like the Chinese version of Battlebots, it's a bit like the earlier series of battle bots with lots of presenter "filler". Appears to have a good mix of both home and international teams, along with some recognizable faces from Robot wars and Battlebots. Has one of the guys from team Razor on the judging panel.
Haven't got a clue whats been said in the commentary, but there are a few occasional English words.

Nice. No idea what they're saying but they are all very excited about it 
Some decent robots in it too.
Yes, not bad at all. I particularly liked the bit where the spinnerbot broke the other bot's spinner right off.Some decent robots in it too.
Shame the robot driven by the two young ladies was so pants, I'd have liked to see more of them.
