Huge thanks to Tormach Inc. for supplying the 2019 BattleBots event with their state of the art CNC machine tools, and a crack team of operators/fabricators. Without these guys robots would not be able to fight again and again.
Thank you Tormach for the awesome parts and service!
Thank you for the nice picture. I've notice the CNC Milling machine in the back ground is so Cool.
I CAN'T WAIT 😍😍
Tormach Inc. saved us countless times ❤️
Now shipping! HEXBUG Micro Robotic Creatures VEX Robotics Warhead kit!
Nice! Wish the remote ones were a little bigger.
whatever happened to the classic toys made of metal. i miss my scale model backlash....it almost broke my finger cuz i uh....made it spin faster <_<
Nice! Glad to see some toys of Warhead from Hexbug 🙂 Hopefully we get an rc toy in the future!
vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/battlebots/images/3/3b/20010819-029.jpg/revision/latest?cb=2012082519... one of these buggers. i never realized the toy company released a second version. i was just thrilled to have a mini backlash to tinker with
But can it dance?
Yuck, could’ve made the arms look better at least and have it remote controlled

Does the head come flying off like it did in the one battle? (I forget offhand who he was up against)

Cute.😻
As we get ready for the 2019 season let’s take a moment to thank Lincoln Electric for providing 20 years of world class welding services to BattleBots and the BattleBots Builders. Our show does not happen without the support of these fine people. #weldred
Thank you Lincoln Electric for helping such a great show to keep running.
We really enjoy this show. A lot of fun. We even cheer! Lol.
Some swag with Lincoln & Battlebots logos would be sweet for us welders out there 👍🏻
Thanks also what robot is that
Big big Kudos guys! Gracias
Thanks for all you do 😀
Lincoln Welders are some of the best there is!
Cheers Lincoln E!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Lincoln Electric! Always there to save the day!

I’m glad all of the bots are no longer straight metal. It makes it hard to keep track of who’s who.
Can’t wait for this season to start going to miss ice wave love that bot. It seems to me there are a lot more full body spinners this year which I don’t understand stand why they usually do more damage to themselves than there opponents
I see we have a lot of tombstone clones this year..
Carlos Cruz xd
For the new bot from texas.. I got my robot in the back You can say,"wait what?" Painted red and blue then White Star spinner is attached. Can nobody tell me nothin, Can't tell me nothin. Yeah i wanna take my bot To the battle bots . I wanna fight till i can't no more.
Just here to show off my Top Fan badge and look at some awesome robots.

Can't F**KING Wait!!!!! 😍😍
Juan López Caro hay llevas más
i think this season might be the strongest line up any robot combat show has ever had this season is going to be amazing
I think it’s safe to say that the 4 Horsemen are no longer the 4 Horsemen.
I got bored
How can we watch the episodes?
The bot lineup looks amazing this year! I want to see mammoth hit something at least once.
It just keeps getting BETTER!!
AXE BACKWARDS...Now THAT's a good looking team!!! Can't wait to see you in action. Go AXE!!!!!!!! 🤩👍😍😁👍
Now might be a good time to follow us on Twitch. Big news coming soon…
BattleBots - Twitch
twitch.tv
This is awesome! I think Twitch is a great choice, it could make discussion and interaction with one another quite interesting. Can’t wait to see what’s to come with this channel! 😀
Trent Rahmin
So when can we watch? I’m ready!
Bethany Scott
Kimberly Mark Frey
WTH is Twitch?
Unless you’re now running Robot Wars, I’m truly stumped.
Why Twitch and not Facebook? Hmmm...
I’m twitching with excitement! I’m so sorry, I’ll grab my coat.
Rooting for a video game!
Classic BattleBots from Comedy Central?
I dont have a twitch
What time on the 6th???
Oh now this sounds like it’s gonna be good! 🙂
Is twitch available outside of the US?
Can I have a VIP badge on Twitch? Jk 😁😁😁

Can you just put it on YouTube? I don't watch nor want twitch
OH BABY!!!!

Is it something you have to pay for?
Alex Towse what
ALL 69 robots from the BattleBots 2019 World Championship are up on our website here: battlebots.com/2019-season-robots/
Check them out!
Ray Billings & Tombstone got this.
On the website and in our hearts. Can’t wait for the new season!
Great pictures of all the teams
This is just awesome. Love seeing all the teams.
Fantastic lineup of varied bots this year! Can’t wait!
Glad to see Bronco’s back; I flippin’ love Bronco.
I just wish Incould see this in the U.K.
I see we have a lot of tombstone clones this year
My favorite 6 bots 6. Warhawk 5. Cobalt 4. Skorpios 3. SOW 2. Tombstone 1. Bronco
With machines like Quantum, Cobalt, Monsoon and Nelly, looks like it could be a great year for the UK bots!
Cool. My heart is ready to watch Minotaurrrrr !!!!!
Lets see Railgun Max do well in the year of the third season of Railgun
I can’t wait to see the new Hydra in action
It’s RIBBOT fighting time!!!!
Wow! A lot of new blood. Minotaur is the bot to beat this year. Its their time. 3rd time is the Charm. The competition is going to be thick. I still Love Tombstone thou...
Check out that one called Mammoth through the link! it makes HUGE look tiny! Represent Baltimore with pride!
Awesome, cant wait!!
Nightmare my first ever love ❤ will you ever be able to self right? I don’t care
Can't wait for the season to start!
This looks like a cracking line-up. Rooting for mah boi Monsoon (as it was my favourite last season), but a lot of the new ones look good as well.
I like the cleaner look for a lot of the older contestants. I don’t know which of the newer teams are gonna do well, but I hope that Hydra is one of them so Bronco can finally have some competition.
I want to see Bronco vs. Tombstone and see tombstone get flipped OVER the top of the box!
Some of those bots should have retired and built something new 😀
I hope someone make a bot with a jackhammer and a rubber-tire armor...
Icewave is missing 🙁 Nooooo!
Just Leaked: Photo of Faruq's first intro card of the 2019 season! We're so close! Who's excited!!!
Faruq does a great job. Love his delivery....always entertaining!😁
I love Faruq! He does a great job👍🏻
One of the many fun parts of live sessions was Faruq and his great smile!
Really a fun show! I attended 2 filming sessions and had totally enjoyed it!! Thanks so much for good time and looking forward to watching on tv
Faruq is one of the best parts of the show! Love him!!
I love watching this show. I skip through the bullshit and just watch 4 games of 3 minutes max. Shortest thing in my list of things to watch
Loved attending the live taping! It was a great experience!
Ahhhh I can't wait to see it! Such a great thing to watch as a family. Even the youngest kids get into it and really enjoy the concept. I guess the only down side is that my daughters really want me to build a battle bot now.
I have my alarm set for that day!! Can't wait!❤ We love Faruq and his intros!! Might put together little tailgate party for the big day!
At first I didn't like his somewhat monotone voice. After getting comfortable with his role he blossomed into a fantastic voice with control and intent. A real pro. Now he is a piece of Americana Battlebots lure. Big love and Respect Faruq! You are a real pro.
He does a great job at delivering corny intros.
Faruq The Wordsmith. Always down to verbally clown. The illest and the chillest.
So ready to watch it again. The destruction just can't wait.
I'm not sure if Faruq participated in any meet and greets but that would've been so RAD to meet him!❤
At first I was like “Check me out, I’m CSI, zoom in, enhance, zoom in, now clean it up, look at me I’m so clever.” Then, it hit me.
Are we seriously getting Rick rolled on the fight card? Well done people well done.
Faruq does a great job. I just wish he would do a freestyle rap summing up a season. I bet he would win a battle against raper charli 2na.
Announcing “He’ll make everyone stand on their feet, He’ll make BattleBots feel complete, He’s so handsome he’ll make your wife wanna cheat. It’s FARUUUUUUUQ!”
I can hear the tragic puns now...
Excited! but I dvr it and skip his long drawn out intros. Sorry no disrespect meant.
"The second rule of Robot Club is you do *not* talk about Robot Cl... Wait...i've got that wrong." <checks notes> "The second rule is 'no smoking'"
It's robot fighting time
Love them but they are not bots, they are RC controls.
Hell yeah! Everybody zooming in into the picture and you can actually read it with his voice in your head 😂💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I so hope it becomes Ladies and Gentlebots!
Here is the Science Channel Promo for BattleBots 2019. What do you all think? Discovery's promo should be coming out soon.
Remember: BattleBots 2019 will premiere on Discovery on June 7th, and Science Channel on June 12th
Camren Clouthier
Needs more 🤖 🔥 💥 but it’s good!
Finally. I love Battlebots
I love it! Its like going into the Stranger Things arcade meets Bandersnatch vibe. It’s including the millennial market...I likey. Expanding the demographic is great.
Huh? Science AND discovery promo? Maybe the discovery one will have actual footage of the fights, like last year
I love the show and that promo doesn't do it justice. Especially compared to what they had last year. Last year's ads were awesome
Hoping this gets put on Netflix or hulu.
Actual fights would’ve been great! You would definitely spark more interest among your non-viewers.
Not very explanatory as to what the show is, is it. They look more like a mash of visual effects used to to bridge the action and talking sections. If that was to promote the sport, hype my show and hook in new interest, I'd be pretty angry if I had to pay for that.
Dominic Di Battista
Meh. Not horrible, but certainly not going to bring in new viewers.
It's OK. Transition is old school robot wars, music and effects reminds of Portal. But it's only really for people who already know what the show is due to no show footage.
I like it. Reminds me of the OG BattleBots intro.
Nice
It is ok, but like someone else said maybe could have used old footage to be more explanatory.
Which channel shows it first, and does one channel's version get more content? Need to know what to dvr...
Looks like the intro from the Classic series of Robot Wars
Is this still the same hour as last year?
Which channel shows the most fights per episode?
Could use some footage from past fights.
It’s not my favorite. You have years of footage to go off of and the choice is made to use some quick CG stuff? Where’s the drama? The action?

Thanks Dick we are taking note.
BotFans, the BattleBots T-shirts you see on Amazon are unauthorized and counterfeit. Please do not purchase them. If you do, your money is going into the hands of pirates who are stealing from us and the robot builders.
Please purchased only authorized T-shirts from our official store at BattleBotsStore.com. We appreciate your support.
Amazon.com: BATTLEBOTS: Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry
amazon.com
Online shopping from a great selection at Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry Store.FAKE. No money to Bronco
FAKE. And no money goes to SawBlaze
FAKE. And no money goes to BRWC
The official shirts are OK. But for $30+ tax + shipping, I'd like something with a little more style. Putting something on the back would be nice too. If we have to pay you to advertise your event, I'd like to have something a little cooler. I've got some really awesome concert T's that were $30-$40. I'm a Bronco fan, but I can't justify that price for not much more than a souvenir screen print t-shirt
If we want to keep Battlebots going and not the way of all the other big shows we need to show our support whenever we can, paying for counterfeits certainly won’t help them.
I made some with my plotter and heat press for personal use and wore them to taping. The Ex Producer/founder spoke to us where we got them. I let him know I made them for personal use. At least they got attention and got to talk a little. I also purchased some at the show to support Battlebots.
Aw geez... Somebody please tell me that my 'Bonchro' and 'Tomstone' shirts are the real thing!
Uhmmm but when I visit Amazon to see these shirts it's says...."SHIPS AND SOLD BY AMAZON" SO are you telling me that Amazon a multi billion dollar corporation is committing copyright infringement OR is it just that you and you teams failed to secure a copyright or trademark or whatever form of protection.
Spent over $100 in T-shirt last year...totally worth it! We get lots of comments and questions. Brought some new fans on board! 😀
Then why do you have a link on the post to the Amazon fakes??
So. I’m curious. Out of the $30 I pay for a shirt how much goes back to the builders?
“Bootleg Stuff” on Twitter would have a field day with these...
Worth repeating—the builders get 60-70% (!) when you buy their shirts from BattleBots. I always assumed it was less. Can’t wait for the 2019 team shirts!
I didn't see one for Tombstone but quite a few of that piece of shit cheeseburger Robot...no thanks!
Thanks for the heads up. I've got a dumb question. Since fans can already get the hexbug Battlebots tuff at Target, are there any plans to carry apparel in store, too, for those of us who prefer to support our local employees AND BattleBots?
They're not as cool as the real ones anyway.
those are some pretty awful knock offs LOL
Whilst we're on about merch (yes it's pricey especially with shipping and customs fees - £48 / $62 for my Hypershock shirt last year 😳) But I'd buy others if there was more colour variation in the designs (ie not just black or blue), if that's at all possible?
Thanks for the heads up
Fear my almighty robot...... CADBOT
I always wanted to be a pirate!!! Walk the plank you filthy squabs!!!!
Look on the bright side: you're popular enough to try to copy.
Wait this wasn’t designed by the Battlebots crew? SAY IT AINT SO 😱😱😱
FTR, Thanks for the heads up re: fakes I'd never knowingly buy one of them Too bad the official shirts aren't done in this style: ( and for $19.99 )
Good thing I'm not buying BattleBots t-shirts.
Will it SMASH!?
HEXBUG Micro Robotic Creatures
We tested the might of our #BattleBots against the infamous BattleBox Hammer!
So excited for the new season!!!
Tiffany Merovich-Winter
That was fantastic especially the ending with Tombstone!! Cannot wait for Battlebots to start!!
I wish I could have all those toys you smashed to give to my sons. They would of loved to have them.
LucFooyTjeerdKollenburgGerbrand Vos Joris van Hulten zo lang ze deze niet hebben is er geen probleem
Plot twist: This is part of HEXBUG's new BattleBots line: jigsaw puzzles
Ray’s cameo is the best part!
Good Mythical Morning. They ripped you guys off.
Not even Tombstone can withstand the wrath of the hammer! Here's to hoping that will happen to Tombstone more than once this season!
It will KEEEEL!!!
All of those VEX parts- no!.... 😱
I genuinely thought those were the real things for a moment
Proving that even the toy of tombstone is a beast! 😂 That’s awesome
Whitney Holts-Thomas
Amanda L. McLellan
JM Estrada
Hahaha amazing reaction from Ray <3
I never realized it until now, but we NEED a "Will it Smash" webseries about smashing things with the BattleBox Hammer. I don't care what random junk you smash with it, I just need to see it happen!
lego version !? 🤔
It's lego
Our toy exploded nicely!
Lol I'm dying. This is still more legit than when Discovery fed the fake, wooden Minotaur to the shark. Lol
still does bugger all to the actual robots..
So..Discovery or History channel? When...????
I thought it was called a "Pulverizer" eitherway...YES...yes it will
