# MANTA’S LAST STAND? | BATTLEBOTS PRO LEAGUE EP16 | Powered by Bright Data

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by BattleBots.

It's SEMI-FINAL night. Four bots remain. One Giant Wrench, the biggest trophy in robot combat. Two fights to the death.

Number 2 seed Manta has smashed its way through the toughest tournament in the sport with its massive spinning weapon, but every fight has left a mark. Now it faces the shock dark horse of the season: The Twins, the first multi-bot EVER to reach the semi-finals of a major heavyweight tournament. Can Manta's raw power overwhelm The Twins' blistering speed and uncanny coordination, or is this where the damage finally catches up with it?

Then, the rematch fans have been waiting for. Witch Doctor vs Minotaur, two of the most beloved bots in BattleBots history, meet for the FOURTH time. Top seed Minotaur leads the rivalry 2–1. Can Witch Doctor's voodoo even the score, or does the Brazilian bull charge on to the Final?

Plus: the 5th nominee for the CoreWeave Innovation Award is revealed.

Hosted by Chris Rose and Kenny Florian, with announcer Faruq Tauheed.
