r/battlebots robot combat wiki Merchandiseīuy official team merchandise Submissions We're either looking at one of the most amazing guesses of all time or a cheat/NDA breach who may throw a flaw in on purpose to win this bracket regardless of the spoiler repercussions.List of Robot Combat events around the world It's why Warren Buffet was comfortable wagering US$1,000,000,000 that no one among 15 million people could perfectly predict a march madness bracket. Predicting an entire bracket by pure chance is insane. So he was wrong it's not millions, it's a billion. The finals are one fight, of course, so that doubles the previous number. 24 = 8 16,277,216 * 8 = 134,217,728 possible combinations.įor each permutation in the semifinals, there are 2 fights, same qualifiers. 65536 * 256 = 16,277,216.įor each permutation of bots entering the quarterfinals, there are 4 fights, again with each having one and only one winner. Therefore, for each of those 65536 permutations, there are 28 = 256 possible outcomes. Again, there must be a single winner for each fight. 216 = 65536.įor each permutation of bots advancing to the round of 16, there are 8 fights. Therefore, there are 216 permutations of how those fights can end.
