It wasn't the strongest bracket, but yeah, I don't think anyone could claim that they thought Shreddit Bro was going to win that one.  If I'd had to guess beforehand, I'd have guessed Rotator and Skorpios for the final.

I'm glad to see Evan Arias finally have success at Battlebots.  Obviously scaling up this design was a wise move.

Now THAT was the kind of finale I was expecting for the Golden Bolt Tournament.  Two top-tier competitors going at it hard for the entire fight and one just barely defeating the other.  Not that I didn't really enjoy End Game's quick demolishing of Witch Doctor last year, but a great fight is what I really want.  I could've seen this one going either way, although I do think the correct bot won.
