Andrew LindseySkorpios was made to kill horizontal spinners, but I think that Mad Catter has a good chance of taking the overall win.

Claire SheppyWould you like a novel that features the building of robots such as can be seen in "Battlebots"? Then buy and read "The boy who loved robots" (available from both Amazon and Barnes ands Noble) and " and then recommend it to your frirends.

David GableGood idea! A lawnmower should be good practice for the two undercutters they're facing. 
Scott Christopher KellyDidn't everyone beat the s*** out of the lawnmower the last couple seasons that aired? 
Jerry CarducciIt's unfortunate that this series ended; they really had something with the emcee announcers and crew not to mention the robot teams. All the current promoters really are able to do from this point is essentially re-live past events. I've been involved with advanced RC projects, amateur mechanics and machining for many years and while I was tempted to get involved (and certain friends kept prodding!) I don't believe I could stand losing! The series sure was fun to watch while it lasted.

More BattleBots FaceOffs are on the way.
We’re hard at work on BattleBots FaceOffs Episode 2, featuring four fierce bots:
• Madcatter (Bad Kitty)
• Skorpios - BattleBot
• Roundhouse (RoboGym Robotics - Roundhouse / Deadlift - BattleBot)
• Calypso (Horizon - Combat Robot)
We know you’re excited to see the next episode—and we’ll get it out to you as quickly as possible (we appreciate everyone’s patience). In the meantime, catch up on everything we’ve released so far—including the Tombstone vs. HyperS

Brenton BarberI might be crazy for saying this but I wouldn’t really call Roundhouse and Calypso rookie bots. They both from experienced teams so this faceoffs heat will be amazing. Who ever wins will have not had an easy path to victory
1 month ago 4Hal KitchenTwo of the most fun teams and two very interesting looking newcomers! Glad we’ve got a spate of new horizontal spinners breaking through. Looking forward to seeing the new and improved Skorpios!

It’s here – the final chapter of the first BattleBots FaceOff is LIVE NOW!

The final fights. Four top-tier bots. One winner.
HyperShock
Tombstone - BattleBots
Valkyrie - BattleBot
Orbitron (AI-driven and built by The Hacksmith)
This Round Robin tournament has already delivered jaw-dropping hits, but today? It gets personal. With the Giant Washer on the line, it’s all or nothing—and not everyone makes it out in one piece.
Legends may fall.

TOMORROW – Part 2 of BattleBots FaceOffs Ep1 drops on YouTube!
Four bots entered the arena.
HyperShock
Tombstone - BattleBots
Valkyrie - BattleBot
Orbitron (powered by AI from The Hacksmith)
In this Round Robin showdown, every bot fights every other once. Six fights. One champion. One new piece of BattleBots hardware -- the Giant Washer.
We’ve already seen massive hits, wild moments, and behind-the-scenes grit in Part 1… but tomorrow the tournament wraps up.
Who will stand alone?

Josiah Stephen RineerLet's gooo! Part 2 is looking like it's going to be a banger!

2 months ago 5Greg NewtonThanks for putting this together Battle Bots for us to watch! Miss watching this on regular t.v.!
2 months ago 7Daniel SmithBattleBots I enjoyed last week's episode with more builder content and seeing the damage after some of the fights. It would be nice though to either have the full episode each week, or drop part 2 at the weekend so we're not waiting a week for just 2 fights. I think you're more likely to get good views and people coming back for future episodes if we get to see all the fights, that's what's implied in the video title as well.

If you thought Part 1 was intense, you haven’t seen anything yet. The Round Robin tournament continues as HyperShock, Hardcore Robotics, Valkyrie - BattleBot and Orbitron (The Hacksmith) fight for the Giant Washer.
6 total fights. 1 bot stands alone.
Haven’t watched Part 1 yet? Catch up now so you’re ready for Part 2:
