Are there any other Battlebots fans here?

It's really fun to watch.

I watch it, but honestly only for the actual battles. I couldn't care less about the backstories and the drivers and whatnot. I can watch the entire two-hour episode in about 25 minutes since I only watch the battles and maybe parts of the interviews if I'm interested (like the one a week or two ago where the dude won a decision by just pushing HUGE around the whole time...HGUE's driver was big mad and it was hilarious).

Last night's main event was a damned good match!

I love the variety of the different robots and fighting styles. I wonder what sort of rules are in place to promote that variety, or else all the robots would be clones of Tombstone or other top bots.

I kind of wonder something like this as well, especially considering some designs have glaring weaknesses against other designs and get destroyed quickly in those pairings.

Hydra and Uppercut are the best robots I’ve seen this year. Would love to see that battle.

We've been watching since it was on Spike/Comedy Central and we even transferred the few tapes we had to DVDs.

There was even a Battlebots presence on a CSI episode, darn, it may have been twenty years ago, now.

We don't have Discovery+ so we aren't seeing the other version they have of Battlebots (Bronco and Chomp have been seen in their promos) and I hope we can see it somewhere else later this year.

With a firm dislike for minibots and drones, I wonder why they have curtailed Faruq's introductions to "It's robot fighting time."

Got a tranny of course.
Sporkinok.
Can’t escape it.
I guess Gold Rush is next.
