**两顿烧烤** (romanized as **Liǎng dùn shāokǎo**, known colloquially by its team name **Two BBQ** or **2BBQ**) was a robot from Jinzhou, Liaoning, China, which competed in the first and second seasons of *King of Bots*, alongside the 2018 series *This is Fighting Robots*.

In Season 1, Two BBQ was referred to in Chinese as **旋风主烤官** (romanized as **Xuànfēng zhǔ kǎo guān**, translating to **Whirlwind Master Roaster**); other early English translations for the robot's name included **Grill Judge** or **BBQ Judge**. During its debut run, it emphatically won its first-round battle against Chinese Aegis, after damaging and immobilizing the latter within seconds, then reduced Mighty Crossbow and Steel Shield to a flaming wreck in the second round. Following these victories, Two BBQ would proceed to win again against American entry Blue to reach the fourth round. There, it was finally defeated by the eventual champion Spectre.

In *This is Fighting Robots*, Two BBQ was selected by Sa Beining to become a member of the Yellow team, being considered a strong contender by multiple roboteers throughout the course of the series. Under Beining's captaincy, it earned a devastating Freestyle Combat win against Sledgehammer, before suffering an early exit in Alliance War after losing a 2v2 match to Megabyte and Earth Mover. It was reinstated later into the competition as part of Zhang Yishan's Blue team, but lost its only battle under this captaincy to Red River Hong after its weapon stopped working. A further chance at redemption in the eight-robot Rumble was also compromised, when Two BBQ became immobile halfway into the fight, despite earning revenge against Spectre by causing terminal damage to its weapon system and electronics.

A substantially altered Two BBQ also competed in the 2019 Opening Battle, where it fought one head-to-head battle against Spectre as part of the blue team. There, it secured a dominant knockout victory after flipping, damaging and immobilizing Spectre, allowing the blue team to win the event overall.

Two BBQ competed in *King of Bots II* but opened up its campaign with a loss to Xiake. Regardless, it easily defeated TUZI to secure a place on Zhu Zheng Ting's team, where Two BBQ became the team captain and defeated Doraemon in a dominant win. However, it suffered a critical loss to Yesaji, and ultimately resigned as Zhu Zheng Ting's team captain after a prompt loss to Megabyte, dropping Two BBQ out of the competition.

In addition to their titular heavyweight machine, Team Two BBQ have also competed in domestic *King of Bots* live events with an identically-named featherweight version of the robot. This robot achieved significant success at these events, notably allowing Team Two BBQ to finish the 2018 Qingdao event as co-champions alongside Team Knock Together and Team Cybermark.

## Design

Two BBQ was a four-wheel driven, box-shaped robot armed with an asymmetrical vertical bar spinner. The robot featured a wide front wedge or four smaller hinged wedges to lead other robots into the spinner, which spun at 2,500rpm. This spinner was not only powerful enough to destroy armor, but also throw entire robots into the air and allow Two BBQ to self-right if it became inverted. Two BBQ featured a top speed of 5 meters per second (18km/h or approximately 11.18mph), along with a highly-agile drivetrain. The whole robot was painted black with orange and yellow flames on its wedge and armor panels, although its wheels were exposed at the rear.

In order to battle Spectre, Two BBQ was modified to combat the crusher by surrounding its front end and sides with polycarbonate walls, negating the height of the crusher. In order to allow the necessary weight for this modification, Two BBQ's front wedge had to be removed.

For *This is Fighting Robots*, Two BBQ was redesigned, this time featuring a beefier profile. Once again, the robot featured an asymmetrical vertical bar spinner, but like the chassis, the weapon was strengthened and painted red. Like before, the robot was a four-wheel drive box-shaped robot with the two rear wheels exposed in the back, although the wheels this time around were larger than the ones in the front. The paint job remained nearly unchanged, however red coloring was added to the mix with the aforementioned bar spinner, and chain guard.

Two BBQ underwent another redesign for the 2019 Opening Battle. While its armament remained similar, the robot's chassis and armor took on a drastically different appearance with a bulkier profile, and its rear wheels were now made completely exposed. At the front, Two BBQ sported two sets of forked wedges - two small ones immediately surrounding the spinner, and two larger ones on either side of its chassis - in a similar set-up to its Season 1.5 incarnation. Two BBQ's weapon mount was also revised, now sporting a pair of castor wheels on top with the potential purpose of allowing the robot to drive upside-down. Unlike previous versions, the paint scheme for the new Two BBQ was plain black.

Two BBQ was relatively unchanged from the 2019 Opening Battle when it competed in *King of Bots II*, but boasted new flame graphics, and debuted an array of different wedge designs, including a hardened curved wedge. Its spinner was rated at a top speed of 2000rpm for this series.

## The Team

"*After graduation, I entered the barbecue industry, and later I made a skewer robot. After this robot was finished, everyone started calling me Mr. Barbecue.*"
— Song Peng explains the origin of Two BBQ's collective identity (Mech+ subtitles)

Billed in Season 1 as a team of robot enthusiasts, the Two BBQ team was lead by Song Peng, who had a career background in the barbeque industry. Following the invention of a 'skewer robot' - as demonstrated in the robot's VT segment for the season - Peng received the nickname 'Mr. Barbecue'. The latter, in turn, evolved to become the collective name for both the team and various incarnations of their entry.

## Robot History

### King of Bots (Season 1)

"*In front of it, I believe all opponents are like a piece of marinated pork belly. Barbecue in hand, I own the world!*"
— Song Peng, concluding Two BBQ's Season 1 VT (Mech+ subtitles)

Two BBQ made its *King of Bots* debut in Episode 2, where it fought the full-body spinner Chinese Aegis in the first round. During the robot's entrance, Song Peng carried sets of three kebab skewers between his fingers, using them to perform a Wolverine impression.

It hesitated in the opening seconds as both robots got their spinning weapons up to speed, before charging into Chinese Aegis. Sparks flew as Two BBQ shepherded Chinese Aegis towards the wall – a second hit launched Chinese Aegis into the spikes, ripping its shell apart and immobilizing it completely. Two BBQ drove towards and spun away from Chinese Aegis, but attacked no further as the latter was counted out - it gyro-danced and spun round in celebration as its victory was confirmed, after one of the shortest battles in *King of Bots* history to date.

In the second round, Two BBQ faced a multibot, Mighty Crossbow and Steel Shield.

Two BBQ immediately targeted the flipper robot, and pushed it across the arena before ripping away the panel of its wedge within seven seconds. After Two BBQ backed away, it came in with another slam to batter the flipper half of Mighty Crossbow and Steel Shield into the air with a somersault, ripping open its back end. The opponent was now emitting copious amounts of smoke, but amidst the camouflage, Two BBQ landed another shattering blow to toss it into the wall. The entirety of Mighty Crossbow and Steel Shield was counted out because of this, leaving Grill Judge to threaten the smaller wedge robot, which was still active, until the battle was ended.

The third round saw Two BBQ face American entry Blue; for this battle, it was equipped with the hinged wedgelets, as well as extra top armor panels to withstand blows from its opponent’s axe.

In the opening seconds, Two BBQ waited in the red square until it got its weapon up to speed, before charging into the front of Blue and pushing it back across the arena. Both teams fired smokescreens in each other’s control areas as this happened, with Two BBQ proceeding to shepherd Blue into the corner while tearing parts of its front and side armor off and gouging through its chassis. Seconds later, it catapulted Blue across the arena with a powerful blow, before slamming it into the wall spikes and causing more sparks to fly with another head-on attack. Briefly pushing Blue over the flame jets, Two BBQ turned away, only to slam into Blue’s front wedge once again and send it spinning away. Continuing its pursuit, it proceeded to push and lure Blue across the arena, occasionally tearing chunks out of the latter’s anti-spinner armor. Two BBQ briefly gyro-danced over one of the floor flippers, before slamming into Blue once again – the impact launched Blue into the corner and tore its anti-spinner panel open.

Inflicting more damage to Blue’s front, Two BBQ continued to chase and push the American machine around the arena; eventually, it attacked Blue’s front twice more, sending a shower of sparks across the arena and destroying the latter’s anti-spinner panel further. The two competitors separated, before Two BBQ lured Blue close to the circular saws. As Blue was stopped and lifted by the saws, Two BBQ attacked its opponent’s wedge – sending even more sparks flying everywhere - and pushed Blue back over the saws. Its bar spinner clipped the bottom of Blue’s wedge, sending the latter flying and almost ripping the wedge off completely. With Blue unable to self-right as a result of a malfunctioning axe, Two BBQ emerged victorious via what was shown to be its third-consecutive knockout. However, as Blue had not been immobilized until the closing seconds, the battle actually went to a Judges’ decision; after bumping into the circular saws, Two BBQ subsequently attacked Blue again shortly after time ran out. Neither the decision, nor Two BBQ’s late attack, were shown or mentioned in the televised episode.

In the fourth round, Two BBQ faced another international competitor in the form of British crusher Spectre. Prior to the battle, its team removed the robot's front wedge and attached polycarbonate walls to prevent Spectre’s crusher from grabbing hold of it.

In the opening seconds, it turned away and dodged Spectre’s initial charge, and ripped both of its crusher’s teeth off as the two robots drove head-on into each other. Two BBQ momentarily pushed Spectre back, only for Spectre to quickly reverse away; the next head-on collision caused Two BBQ to flip itself over, its bar spinner hitting the floor and causing the machine to spin. This resulted in it self-righting within seconds, although the impact caused two of Two BBQ’s belts to break as Spectre bumped and rammed it into the spikes again. As before, the two robots briefly pushed each other around, sparks flying as Two BBQ’s spinner clipped Spectre’s crusher. They separated in the center of the arena; almost immediately, Two BBQ swerved into Spectre’s front, but exposed its back end, allowing Spectre to ram it towards the grinders at high speed.

Two BBQ slipped off of Spectre’s wedge as the latter drove into and was thrown backwards into the grinder – it ended up in the corner, throwing itself backwards as it drove spinner-first into the grinder mount. Spinning round, Two BBQ was collected by Spectre again, which attempted to grab Two BBQ from the front while pinning and pushing it along the corner. Two BBQ’s spinner continued to damage Spectre’s crusher as this happened, although it was not enough to prevent it from being repeatedly rammed by Spectre. Eventually, it reversed out of the corner, and succeeded in dislodging one of Spectre’s eyes – however, Two BBQ was shepherded into the red square and grabbed from the side by Spectre, which proceeded to drive it into one of the grinders. Shrapnel flew as Two BBQ’s spinner hit an approaching Spectre again, with Two BBQ being pushed into the corner before Spectre clamped and repeatedly rammed it into the grinder again. Struggling to drive away, Two BBQ was pushed forwards across the arena by Spectre, but escaped, again driving into Spectre’s front and causing light damage to its crusher and wedge.

Two BBQ briefly pursued Spectre across the arena, only to be pushed around in circles by the British entrant. The two competitors momentarily separated, with Two BBQ turning as Spectre got underneath its right-rear wheel and pushed it from behind. A high-speed ram into the wall spikes resulted in one of Two BBQ’s polycarbonate walls shattering, with Two BBQ itself left helpless as Spectre rammed it into the grinders several more times. These impacts resulted in Two BBQ losing mobility – with seconds of the battle remaining, it was counted out, to the dismay of the Two Barbeques team. As a result, Two BBQ lost the battle via knockout, and was eliminated from the competition, although not without receiving praise from Team Robo Challenge, Spectre’s builders.

"*We thought that they were the very top of the Chinese machines. Two BBQ has been the best so far – it’s been another step up from that. It’s been really good to beat them, but at the same time, we’d like to say huge congratulations to them. They’ve done an amazing job, and we really look forward to fighting them in the future.*"
— Grant Cooper praises Two BBQ and its team after the battle

### This is Fighting Robots (Season 1.5)

During the initial blind selection process for *This is Fighting Robots*, Two BBQ was selected by Sa Beining to join the Yellow team just as time ran out for the first stage. Its place in the main competition was put in jeopardy, however, when Beining considered replacing it with American shell spinner Megabyte, owing to his unfamiliarity with its vertical spinner weapon. Ultimately, Beining dropped Bonesaw in favor of Shrederator Tiger Claw, enabling Two BBQ to fight under his captaincy.

Two BBQ's addition quickly made it one of the most potent and sought-after robots in the competition. In Episode 2, Green team manager Zheng Shuang briefly considered adding it to her line-up, as a counter to Beining's interest in her UK-based machine Sandstorm. During the subsequent 'learning' process, Two BBQ was quickly identified as a major threat among multiple roboteers on the Green team. As part of the team's 'tour' of the pits, Shuang planned to examine Two BBQ first-hand, though the robot was covered up before this could be enacted. Captain Song Peng, however, was 'aggravated' by Sa Beining's approach to the entire process, as was the latter's decision to examine robots on the Green team in response.

The second Freestyle Combat round marked Two BBQ's fighting debut in this series, Sa Beining having chosen to 'save' it for this stage. Here, it fought a head-to-head battle against Sledgehammer, an all-female entry from Tsinghua University representing Zhang Yishan's team.

The battle itself was aired as part of a highlights montage, with very little content shown. Sledgehammer charged in and struck the top of Two BBQ with its hammer, although Two BBQ successfully spun up its weapon and threw Sledgehammer over in a front-on attack. Sledgehammer could not self-right, and Two BBQ emerged victorious via knockout.

In the Alliance War stage, Two BBQ was partnered with Anchor and Shield, the successor to its very first *King of Bots* opponent, Chinese Aegis, for a 2v2 match. Together, they fought Earth Mover of the Red team and Megabyte of the Green team.

In the opening moments, Two BBQ drove steadily across the arena towards Megabyte, initially dodging and turning away from the American full-body spinner. However, as it lifted itself and spun over the flame jets, Two BBQ sustained a head-on blow from Megabyte; sparks flew as both robots’ spinning weapons connected, resulting in Two BBQ’s bar spinner being snapped in half and the whole robot ricocheting into the wall spikes. With its spinner and weapon belts broken, Two BBQ reversed and turned round, before driving head-on into Megabyte.

The resulting impact sent Megabyte flying towards and over the pit; however, Two BBQ was also thrown into a nearby grinder and flipped over at the same time. Unable to drive upside-down or use its half-broken spinner to self-right, it was therefore considered immobile and eliminated from the battle via knockout. A few moments later, Two BBQ sustained more damage from Megabyte as the latter attacked Anchor and Shield, eventually having the remainder of its spinner broken off. As a result, Two BBQ was eliminated from the competition at this point along with Anchor and Shield.

It was not the end for Two BBQ, however, as Zhang Yishan competed in a celebrity rumble, driving Greedy Snake to victory over Xiake and Shrederator Tiger Claw. As a reward for his win, Zhang Yishan was allowed to add a defeated robot to his team, and he chose Two BBQ to join the blue team. After Wu Chun issued the challenge with Red River Hong, both Zheng Shuang and Zhang Yishan answered the call, with Sandstorm and **Two BBQ** respectively. Wu Chun chose to battle Two BBQ, allowing it to fight under Yishan's captaincy for the first time.

While both robots powered up their spinners, Red River Hong was directionless in its drive, driving in odd angles before eventually driving its side directly into Two BBQ's blade, and was thrown over. Two BBQ followed this up, punching Red River Hong backwards. This prompted Red River Hong to flee again, but a devastating hit from Two BBQ threw Red River Hong over a meter into the air, straight towards the corner of the arena. Wu Chun activated the smokescreen in front of the Two BBQ team to limit their vision, which caused Two BBQ to drive around aimlessly, missing with its charges until it finally overturned Red River Hong with its wedge, also using its wedge to fling Red River Hong into the air as a follow-up attack.

However, when Red River Hong landed, its drum collided with one of Two BBQ's wedges, ripping it from the robot. Relatively unfazed, Two BBQ struck the back of Red River Hong, and then punched its drum to push the robot back. While using 'gyro-dancing' to right itself, Red River Hong instead brought its top panel directly into Two BBQ's spinner, but despite its lack of direction when attempting to leave the corner of the arena, Red River Hong was still surviving. Red River Hong coasted into Two BBQ, slamming its side panel into the vertical bar spinner, but this caused Two BBQ's weapon belt to fall loose, leaving the robot without a functional weapon.

This afforded Red River Hong a chance to strike, hitting Two BBQ's weapon using its drum to completely silence the weapon. Red River Hong then crashed into the front of Two BBQ, and used its drum to throw Two BBQ over. Two BBQ could still run inverted, and slammed into the mace to try and self-right, but landed the same way up again. On its path to another Grinder, Red River Hong intercepted Two BBQ's charge and knocked it into the air, so upon Two BBQ's landing, it was then leaning against the mace mount, pinned on its spinner and its one remaining wedge. Two BBQ was counted out, and was eliminated from the competition in an unexpected loss.

For a potential chance to be reinstated for the final stages, Two BBQ also fought in the Eight-robot Rumble as a representative of Zheng Shuang's Green team. There, it fought Anchor and Shield, Golden Hoops, Lieutenant Bam, Megabyte, Polar Opposite, Spectre, and Wrecker.

Initially, Two BBQ remained a background challenger, only getting itself involved after Anchor and Shield was taken out by Megabyte. It charged towards Lieutenant Bam as the latter collided with Positive Charge (Polar Opposite), itself being flung across the arena by Megabyte. However, Two BBQ would then drive too close to Megabyte, having one of its wedgelets ripped off in the process. Unfazed by this, it turned towards and up the front wedge of Spectre, which initially pushed Two BBQ back into Lieutenant Bam.

In this embrace, however, Two BBQ's spinner ripped Spectre's right tooth off and caused major internal damage to its crusher. Not only did this incapacitate the jaw, but the damage was also enough to trigger an electronics failure inside Spectre, immobilizing it.

As Spectre was counted out, Two BBQ made another charge, this time towards Wrecker. The resulting impact flipped the American machine over and sent it skidding into Megabyte, which pelted and immobilized Wrecker. This proved to be Two BBQ's last major contribution to the Rumble, however. While it could briefly be seen driving around in some later shots, it was not shown to attack again. For unknown reasons, Two BBQ eventually lost drive on one side, while the belt powering its spinner had also been torn.

Two BBQ could then be seen in the background making sporadic movements during the rest of the match, and was briefly targeted by Megabyte before its sudden drivetrain malfunction. Though still displaying mobility - and ramming Golden Hoops in the final moments - Two BBQ was officially declared to have been knocked out before the Judges' decision was announced. Ultimately, it lost the Rumble to Polar Opposite.

### King of Bots 2019 Opening Battle

The revised Two BBQ was one of ten heavyweight robots in attendance for the 2019 Opening Battle, held to promote the upcoming second season. Representing the blue team, it fought a single head-to-head battle against Spectre, the third time in which both competitors had fought each other.

Immediately, Two BBQ left its corner and drove underneath the front of Spectre, causing minor damage before pushing the Season 1 champion around in circles. The two robots briefly broke free, with Two BBQ gyro-dancing as it dodged, bumped and was briefly pushed sideways by Spectre. Sliding over the floor flipper, Two BBQ proceeded to drive into Spectre again, hitting and throwing into the wall with its bar spinner. Seconds later, Two BBQ threw Spectre over with another head-on attack, and hit Spectre’s left-hand side shortly after the British machine self-righted. Two BBQ hopped as Spectre collected and attempted to grab hold of it a few times; each time, the gyroscopic forces of Two BBQ’s bar spinner allowed it to escape. The two competitors drove head-on into each other once more; Two BBQ pushed Spectre back, while simultaneously ripping off its opponent’s entire front wedge and part of its left-front wheel.

Both robots bumped, pushed and circled each other close to the wall spikes, before Two BBQ caused more damage as it pushed Spectre into the spikes themselves. Two BBQ waited as Spectre retreated for another charge, eventually slamming and tearing into the front of Spectre again. Again, it pushed and hit the left-hand side of Spectre, ripping more parts of Spectre’s armor open. With another hit, Two BBQ threw Spectre upwards as the latter drifted into its spinner; the attack not only sent Spectre spinning, but also damaged its right-hand side and immobilized it completely. Two BBQ nudged Spectre before reversing and gyro-dancing in jubilation. As a result, it secured a destructive and popular knockout victory, which both Team Two BBQ and Team Robo Challenge celebrated, and which allowed the blue team to win the 2019 Opening Battle outright.

### King of Bots II (Season 2)

Two BBQ was the first selection of any celebrity captain in the entire series, being nominated by Zhu Zheng Ting to participate in the opening battle of the series, against fellow *King of Bots* veteran Xiake, for a place on his team.

Two BBQ circled around the arena while avoiding its opponent, with both spinners accelerating to full speeds, until the first minor contact saw Two BBQ bump into Xiake. It was then Xiake which landed the first real exchange of the battle, churning away at Two BBQ's wedgelets and driving it back across the arena, which also caused a belt to slip from Two BBQ.

Two BBQ was trailing in the battle until it suddenly swung its vertical spinner into the wedgelets of Xiake, completely ripping one out of place. Although this threatened Xiake's effectiveness, Two BBQ immediately halted after driving over its own loose belt. With Two BBQ suspended above the arena floor, it could no longer move, and Xiake kept its distance until Two BBQ was counted out, losing the battle by knockout. As a result, it did not join Zhu Zheng Ting's team.

Relegated to the redemption round, Two BBQ fought in the second head-to-head of this stage, with TUZI bravely choosing to fight Two BBQ, intentionally. A victory here would allow Two BBQ to join a celebrity team of its own choice.

Two BBQ started more competently, accelerating its bar spinner up to full speed, while TUZI aimlessly crashed into the arena wall. TUZI mostly skirted along the sides until it was caught side-on by Two BBQ, which smacked TUZI into the wall, and then cut into its overhead weapon, visibly leaving a slice. Two BBQ then closed in from behind and hit TUZI into the air, which disoriented TUZI and caused its side panels to display at different angles.

Two BBQ struck hard in its next blow, ripping a protective plate from the side of TUZI, and bending its overhead weapon upon TUZI's landing. TUZI ambled about, with no offensive power left, although it had survived for nearly 90 seconds until it drove over the floor flipper and rolled towards the Grinder. Two BBQ then crept up on TUZI and blasted it into the air, bursting straight through its side armor, and leaving TUZI only capable of turning in circles in the corner of the arena. The referee deemed TUZI to be immobile and counted it out, with the victorious Two BBQ choosing to join Zhu Zheng Ting's team.

Moving into the next round, Two BBQ's captain was nominated to be the leader of Zhu Zheng Ting's team, ahead of their series of battles against Tao Shen's five robots. Although Two BBQ would have teamed up with Switch to fight against Po Feng and Earth Shovel in a potential third battle of the sequence, this fight did not need to take place as Zhu Zheng Ting's team had already won their first two matches. Instead, Two BBQ fought in the first fight of the next round, against a fellow team captain, Doraemon of Tu Ziya's team.

When both robots took time in the opening seconds to spin up their blades, Two BBQ was quicker out of the gates, and it hit Doraemon into the wall, also stopping what little momentum Doraemon had already built up with its spinner. Two BBQ also delivered another attack in this area until Doraemon managed to escape, and accelerate its spinner. Nevertheless, Two BBQ drove back in to disrupt the speed of Doraemon's blade, and then hit the main body of the robot, throwing sparks while throwing Doraemon upwards.

The slowing Doraemon landed one light hit on Two BBQ's wedge before its weapon gave out, and Two BBQ shoved it back while cutting into the side. After backing away momentarily, Two BBQ charged back in to deliver a critical blow to Doraemon, flinging it high in the air, and caused it to land seemingly immobile. Nevertheless Two BBQ did not take the time to check, and delivered a follow-up hit which flipped Doraemon over. The referee counted out a visibly damaged Doraemon, and Two BBQ earned the first point for Zhu Zheng Ting.

Two BBQ represented Zhu Zheng Ting at the team's first ever deficit, when it faced Tu Ziya's Yesaji directly after Tánshè lost to Iron Scrap of the same team. A loss here would result in defeat for Zhu Zheng Ting's team, and put all five robots in danger of elimination.

After both robots powered up their vertical spinners, Two BBQ covered more distance and met Yesaji in its starting corner, but rode straight up its wedge, and Yesaji booted Two BBQ onto its back with a powerful hit, much to the delight of Tu Ziya and her team. Two BBQ sped around the arena inverted, and connected its blade with Yesaji, but could do little more than throw sparks, with its spinner now rotating downwards into Yesaji. In response, Yesaji clipped the side of Two BBQ and knocked it onto its side, pinned on its own castors. Although Two BBQ twitched back and forth, it could not get back down onto its wheels, and it was counted out. As a result of Two BBQ losing this battle on behalf of Zhu Zheng Ting, Tánshè had to be cut from the team.

Some time after this, Snake was also cut from Zhu Zheng Ting's team, leaving their roster at only four robots. If Two BBQ lost its next battle against Megabyte, a third cut would need to take place.

Prior to the battle, team captain Song Peng visited Megabyte's team, the Robotic Destruction Company, to wish them well; in return, Megabyte's captain John Mladenik anticipated a ‘good fight’ between the two spinner-wielding robots.

Two BBQ began assertively, rushing towards Megabyte and lifting onto one side near the wall spikes as it prepared for an early attack. Capitalizing on Megabyte's stability issues, it rammed the American competitor spinner-first, sending Megabyte recoiling into a grinder. However, in doing so, Two BBQ violently flipped over and spun on its side towards a control booth on the other side of the arena. Propped up by one of its weapon mount supports, it was left unable to right itself, instead driving around in circles on its right-rear wheel. Two BBQ proceeded to maneuver itself towards - and at one point into - the wall spikes, smoking its tire every so often until it was fully counted out.

With Two BBQ's swift defeat by Megabyte, Song Peng resigned as the captain of Zhu Zheng Ting's team, and stepped down from the competition. In turn, he handed over his captaincy to the captain of Black Rabbit, also saving teammates Switch and The Hounds from potential elimination in the process. Ultimately, Zhu Zheng Ting's team fell in defeat only one battle later when Black Rabbit lost to Rhino, resulting in all of his remaining robots being eliminated at this stage.
