Just watched battlebots, I don't like the fact the picture quality looks almost fuzzy on my tele, the commentators are a bit annoying but other than that it was fantastic.

I hate the pit in the uk version, you always feel that st can sneak through, I don't mind the house robots but this seems the perfect setup. A bigger arena and just two robots battling it out. Some of the battles were pretty spectacular.
sadly Spike is an SD channel, so picture quality will be dire.

You wonder if builders might be tempted to machine a whistle into rotating parts to deliberately create a fear factor.

Wouldn't work, unless someone was daft enough to design a robot that could hear.

Dont Know how far you guys have seen so i'll stick it in spoiler tags



I feel Bronco Threw his match against the brazilian drum spinner Minatour

previous fight against Razorback he drove to perfection and had his over wheel armour. but for some reason he went out against a much more dangerous bot, drove poorly AND didn't bother to put on the over wheel armour that would have stopped him getting teabagged.

It just felt like someone handed him a brown envelope to just let this one go.



I like robots Smashing other robots Woooo!!! smile

Tombstone is freakin' intense. Bloody hell!
Also that net thing was the best idea hahaha. Absolutely creased when it popped out.

Agreed. Pity it didn't get out through as an also ran - the design will either marauder it's rival, or blow up when struck by an uber spinner. What's not to like?

Ed209 flashbacks, you have 10 seconds to comply. This could be entertaining.

I watched my first one last night, the thing that resembled and old reel to reel film projector was never going to last long was it?!
Whatever hit it caused a flash of flame inside and then snapped it's own weapon in half and threw it away, great stuff!

Why do I suspect that it'll be coerced into a yank victory? I watched the trailer and it seemed a bit too 'murrican for my tastes. I'll give it a try, but won't hold my breath..

Pilots in them too, so there won't be any real destruction or danger.
