I'll just wait a day or two until someone posts the fights only online somewhere. Not interested in watching nine minutes (maximum) of actual robot fighting and 51+ minutes of bullshit.
Maybe there will be a stream like last season?
Tested has a meet the battle bots video on YouTube
Flamethrower drone is going to burn down the ring.

Guys it's freaking great, you should see it now.
I saw like five fights already, each one is 3.5 minutes long.
Watch Minotaur vs Photon something
Minotaur was bangin' it had a spinning metal ram that hurled other bots through the area.
Other good ones:
Disko Inferno vs Chomp
Ultraviolet vs HyperShock
Complete Control vs Bombshell (I'm watching as I post this)

Yeah Overlord was a humanoid with two arms that had the same musculature as a person and mapped to the pilot's movements. It just lost to Warhead

This is Overlord

Probably will be on YouTube or ABC's website in a couple of days.
I'll try to record the next one if possible
Clearer pics of individual bots at battlebots.com
Anyway RIP Overlord ;_;
Any HD rips of the premier from tonight?

Those string just snapped too easily. It needs some armor and steel ligaments. It was a good attempt though, and the shield almost worked worked well.

It was painful to watch its poor robomuscles burn

man I had this exact same concept for a Battle Bot back in middle school
>>14395279
do you think they kept the weight limit rule for that fight? pretty sure they could have had a better robot had they added some more armor
>>14394497
At least it's a head on wheels with a sense of style.
I found a torrent of episode 1, but I can't seem to find episode 2 anywhere.
>>14395067
It's on rarbg.
>tfw Aussiebot didn't win
Anyone remember this show? There was a bald announcer who was always too enthused? I got to see Juggerbot live because my dad is an engineer and they went to the place he worked at once.

Oh shit, I can watch it on the ABC site now that I turned off popup blocker. (Still looking for a torrent of e02 though.)
These amateur match-ups are total BS, they put new blood against seasoned vets, and pretty much every time the new guys don't win. It really sucks because it's clear that they're trying to get the network sport/reality TV audience instead of actually making it for robot fans. It's to be expected but it doesn't make it any less disappointing.

did they ever said why the pike arm didn´t worked? onlye the shield one moved
