    anybody else watching this show?



    Last year, we saw Kenny Florian screaming like a girl in sheer terror from exploding robots. This year, we have double the amount of robots!
    Damn, son! Where'd you find this?

    I used to watch it back in the previous decade. Then it died off. I guess, it's back after a loooong break.

    it's better than ever. I used to watch robot wars UK when I was a kid. I really loved watching Razer.

    this season, quadcopters are allowed. and Kenny Florian is still screaming like a teenage girl when parts and bits are flying. lol

    They should remove the traps inside the arena. Sometimes bots win because they get lucky.

    ^well, it wouldn't feel like battlebots without traps

    besides, grappler style robots rely on traps to do the damage for them

    one thing to note also for this season is that CO2 hydraulic systems are banned because they tend to explode a lot last season

    I think it was Robot Wars I watched and not Battlebots. But, same format.

    these are my favorite fights so far





    grappling bots just take a lot more skill

    man, huge upset this recent episode. number 3 seed got knocked out by the 30th seed

    witch doctor grossly underestimated their opponent and they paid for it terribly.
