Reply to comment by Time_Punk in 250lb Battlebot is flipped and sticks the landing by jon-in-tha-hood

So if he couldn’t get upright from that first flip he’d of lost eventually?

Yes, there are referees at ringside that will count down from 10 if you're not able to move. If you don't move, then the fight ends by knockout.

So it's not instant, since theoretically, Big Dill could have used its weapon to flip itself back over, but it looks as if the lifter had broken anyway; earlier in the fight, it was underneath Blip (the blue one) and was not able to fire the weapon.

Additionally, the upper deck shown here)added two seasons ago) has special rules. Even if you're in control, you have 20 seconds to leave the deck before getting rules out, and refs can also declare an immobile robot on the deck immediately knocked out without a countdown.

I think if you can’t move you’re out. You’re right tho: it looks like it couldn’t move anyway. Not an expert tho just been to a local Smash Bots match once, maybe different rules.
