Manta is going to utterly destroy everything in its bracket.
When are we getting the next episode of the current series?
Craig Reed Jr. I've bout given up trying to watch it this year, every time I try and search for it it just brings up years old fights
Whatever happened to streaming the show on discovery+?? Haven’t seen a new season in ages
Will it be televised
Isn't orbitron already out?
Holy crap, better be videoed on YouTube coming in 2030. 
I can't wait for the YouTube video to be released. I'm hoping that Sawblaze will return 
Only Manta ...
The YouTube channel is awful really badly setup all the videos don't have when they were aired so you have no idea what you are watching it's all a joke really like it's managed by a 12 year old.
Congrats to DooAll and DooMore builder Scott LaValley on launching this new company!

I want BattleBots fights should be on TV so that many who don't have chance will benefit.
So will battle bots never be aired on tv again? I miss that
What do us fans gotta do to get a video game for Xbox and PlayStation?!?!?!?!?! It's LONG overdue!!!
Get back to the game on the BRAVO channel very soon .
We are interested in genuine televised giant nut/golden bolt tournaments with the bot builder teams actually competing, not "destruct-a-thon" exhibitions. Battlebots created a genuine sport that was improving exponentially year over year...and we've gone almost 2 years without new televised episodes. This is ridiculous. PLEASE get it together and get this show back on the air. I can only rewatch all the season so many dozen times.
So, is this more extensive than the one that dropped last week?
BattleBots FaceOffs Episode 02 is LIVE on our YouTube channel!
Featuring:
• MadCatter
• Skorpios
• Roundhouse
• Calypso
Veterans face off. Underdogs rise. One Giant Washer on the line. Six fights. One winner.

It’s sad to see Roundhouse losing all their fights, looked like a good undercutter
This is the same one that became available last week, right?

Does rotator still fight
That look I gave her when Maury told me I’m not the father
Episode 2 is getting better (cameras angles , post production) first episode was quite badly filmed. Defenitly not the same quality than before. However now it’s free. I suppose we cannot have the cake and eat it too. Keep the improvement for next episodes. Would be a good idea to do a partnership with Amazon/ Disney / Netflix so that they could up the budget and better the quality.
Ditch the crowd decisions for flights that reach the time limit and bring back actual judges.
Production seemed a bit better this time, really enjoyed it!
Good fights, good episode!
please edit the fights better. way too many cuts. it's almost unwatchable
Good luck for you team
Bring BB back to regular TV please.
Shame not ot tv any more, I stopped watching
That was the most boring episode of Battle Bots I have ever watched...
Wooooo!
YouiTube sucks...better get it together for TV...
The wait is over.
Thanks for your patience, BotFans—BattleBots FaceOffs Episode 2 drops Thursday, May 8, only on YouTube!
Four bots. Six fights. One Giant Washer.
MadCatter (Bad Kitty)
Skorpios (Skorpios)
Roundhouse (RoboGym Robotics)
Calypso (@Horizon250)
The matchups are set. The sparks are coming. Get ready.
Episode 2 premieres May 8
Only on YouTube – and it’s FREE to watch

Skorpios was made to kill horizontal spinners, but I think that Mad Catter has a good chance of taking the overall win.
It would be nice to have a similar format when it was on discovery. I loved having the bot builders talk strategies leading up to the fight. The bots being introduced, and building up the excitement. Now it’s just video clips of the fights. I hope they find a TV channel to pick it up, or find a way to improve it on YouTube. I always thought BB fits perfectly for Curiosity Channel. Anyway good luck, keep going and evolving.
No tv deal this year???
my money is on mad catter
Bring it back to the Discovery Channel. Then bring us the episodes we have missed 
Would 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.
Put it back on TV!!
Did they say when the show coming back on discovery channel
Launching the YouTube app on my TV is just as easy as the other apps...
Hope skorpios does well
It’s back!!!
I miss Chris, Kenny, and Faruq...it's just not the same without them boys! 
Are you planning to go back to televised content at any point?
Is the show available on Discovery+ ?
LET’S GO!!!!!!!!!
I've not watched yet. Do the actual builders appear, or are they substitutes like in Las Vegas shows.
Yes! Can’t wait! What time of the day is it planned to be released?
Please show more battles, and less buildup and fluff
We'll be watching!
Who do we need to write to to bring the show back to tv?
The wait is still going on.....
I love Madcatter!
You know what that means right BattleBots that's right. It's #Botdog time!

Good idea! A lawnmower should be good practice for the two undercutters they're facing. 
Didn't everyone beat the s*** out of the lawnmower the last couple seasons that aired? 
It'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.
Yeah, have yet to watch that. Definitely planning on tomorrow
On behalf of my severe grass pollen allergies, GO GET SOME, SKORPY!!
garbage. BattleBots has gone to hell.
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

Can't wait
Soon soon, or sometime this year soon?
I 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
Two 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!
Love my homies Skorpios, and of course Mad Catter (Bad Kitty)! Ever since I saw a FaceOff live, I really came to appreciate the concept of mixing & matching well-established teams with up-and-comers. Can’t wait to see this one!!!
Thank a for the update. Looking forward to it. Enjoyed the first batch and ready to see the rest.
I am all for supporting BattleBots it is one of the greatest shows and sports there is but it seems like they're taking an awful long time between episode 1 and 2.
Happy to wait! Thank you for putting it together!
Why can't you be on cable TV? Now I can't watch it without subscribing to yet another platform!
I like these face off matches they're really fun if this is all the BattleBots that we are getting I'm in for it
What date
Guys....I appreciate the post but there needs to be a post in YouTube about the timing of these episodes from. Will Bales to set our expectations. It's been a month between episodes and that is hurting Battlebots brand and legitimacy. Do they need help? I'm sure us superfans and professionals would be willing to help move faceoffs along.
"I am Calypso. And I thank you for playing Twisted Metal!"
I've always liked skorpios but I cannot lie in that its s7 performance wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I'm hoping they redeem themselves here
Super muy entretenido emocionante
Can’t wait
It there any word if you'll be back on TV again?
Hate this new format.
Is there any news about getting a contract with Discovery? Is there anything us fans can do to help?
Is Rotator now Roundhouse?? Looks like Rotator but not sure...
BattleBots how soon?
Keren
Scipios breaking out the old style saw
So when? Today? Next week?

Loved seeing Will and Leanne face off! Two great teams!
2 great teams, 1 awesome fight. Congrats to both teams!!!
What time is episode 2 come out on YouTube?
Wasn’t Will building a flipper named Vertigo? Wonder when/if we will get to see it in action. Coming from him, sure it will be amazing.
Loved all the before and after interviews as well as the action. Tolerated the interrupting ads.
Good job
Great Fights!
Revenge is Sweet!
