With someone else holding the Giant Nut, Ray Billings is gonna be ticked. The rest of the competition better watch the heck out.

God Damn, that's a Monster!
Intact now, broken in April... 😉
That just reminded me of that Japanese admiral and that sleeping giant nonsense.. maybe those unseen Shayateens within the unseen better ponder over 20:14 of Surah Taha within the fabric of those fancy nanoparticles of TIME and know that their lord is not one eyed.

Hello BotFans. Tickets for the 2019 BattleBots should start to go on sale THIS WEEK! We will open sales first to our BattleBots Supporters, and then a week or so later to the general public.
The event will be in Long Beach CA., April 12-22 (see attached schedule). There will be two ticketed sessions per day (each around 4 hours long). Tickets will range from $20-40 depending on which day you go and what type of seats you choose.
We'll post further details here and on battlebots.com/tickets once the tickets go live. But if you want early access, become a BattleBots Supporter.
Looking forward to the new season, and I've prepared a new drinking game for it. Each time Chomp falls over - drink. Each time they refer to Chomp as a 'fan favorite' - drink. Each time they talk about how advanced Chomp is - drink. Every time Chomp loses a match - drink. This game could potentially kill people now that I think about it....
#WeWantAListOfBots :-)
Man, can't do California. Need a BattleBots Midwest League.
I am currently trying to plan my trip this year with my son. It will be our first time. Is it going to be filmed in the same location as last year? Trying to find hotels nearby.
Joshua Zirbel ahhh I wish we could go! We could be the dorks in the audience with the pun-laden signs!
Can’t wait until it comes to tv
It’s Robot Fighting Time! 🤖 🔥 🔨
that will be on new zealand tv in 2079
Lisa Haughan Aylward
What Tv channel is battlebots going to be on tv it doesn’t say what channel battlebots is on is it going to be on Discovery channel
Can’t wait!
I would love to go to this but my PTSD keeps me away from crowds. I am a 100% service connected combat veteran and I love Battlebots
Anna Deborah, would you be interested again?
Jason, Teresa, lets make this happen!!!
Living in the uk i'm so happy battlebots is staying on the air after we had robot wars cancelled. The fight night format was stroke of genius and cant wait for next series.
👍🏼
I became a supporter today but did not get a badge? Can you please make sure I signed up correctly?
Is there an age limit to attend the live show?
Will you be posting a schedule of fights for the preliminary round shows? My 7-year-old son would be over the moon to see Icewave!
https://youtu.be/67ipSyp09TM
Awesome! We will be there!
Why do Monday & Friday say "dark" and have no time? Does this mean there are no fights those two days?
Also I noticed "by what seats you choose" for price. Does this mean there will be assigned seating this year, or let in at different times before filming?
Darn, I moved to navada

Hi BotFans. The next BattleBots event will take place in Long Beach CA, April 12-22. Tickets will be on sale soon, and they usually sell out quick. If you'd like to secure your tickets early, sign up to be a BattleBots Supporter as they receive early access to tickets sales before the general public.
I just signed up as a BB supporter a few days ago. Will the early ticket sales for supporters be posted here or should I be on the lookout for an email, etc..? Thanks 😊
#WeWantSeason5
We also enjoy taking pictures with the fans!
Done and done! Last season was incredible, I look forward to more battles for years to come!
Only thing that would make me happier is if they held it in Orlando, FL :P
Will there be a tv announcement?
SEASON FOUR CONFIRMED BBY
Well that's one way to announce the next season.
Looking forward to you winning this year Team Blacksmith 👍
And who else wants a REAL REDEMPTION for Bronco? (Not just making it to the quarter finals and getting beat by a newcomer)
This doesn't say anything about Season 4. Am I the only one asking?
So excited!!! We went last year and had a blast!!
How do you become a battlebots supporter?
Is there an opportunity for meet and greet? My son loves Battlebots!
I’m so glad to see Battlebots is coming back for a fourth season! With all the teasers the different teams have been posting of what they’re building I can imagine how great this is gonna be! 🙂
Super excited.... going to bring my daughter for her 5th birthday!!!! ITS ROBOT FIGHTIN' TIME!
Owen Jackman these dates rock as that is my Spring Break - can you say Robot Fightin’ Time!!!! 😀👊🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes! So happy it’s back in Long Beach!! Will definitely be there. 😁
Interesting-we have event confirmation but not network confirmation. Hmmm.....
Are there wheelchair accessible seats?
I look forward to the next season. Thanks Battlebots!
We are SO excited for the new season! We just became supporters so we can help you guys continue on! Hope to nab some tickets in April👍
Another couple of questions: If you choose to buy tickets at the later dates, are you more likely to see the championship? Are there breaks during the rounds? Thanks!
I'm a SUPPORTER! My boyfriend is gonna be so jazzed when I surprise him with a couple of these tickets!
That is great news! Can’t wait for season 4 to begin!
What secrets are behind the modesty curtain? Only team Tantrum knows.
Give us a follow for updates, we're bringing something new to the table https://m.facebook.com/tantrum.battlebot/
We added the modesty as we test with the armor off and most of what should be in the bot outside of it. Battlebots is a family show and nobody should be able to see a robot’s bits. We would like to thank our Sponsor Auris Health for their support in developing Tantrum
Dale Thiele Mitch Mcfarlane what?
Looks like the curtain was added post production- my vote is for a vertical spinner as pieces are shown flying from the impact
Probably a better flipper.
Y'know, I don't think I'll EVER get tired of seeing 250 pound robots get sent soaring through the air as if they're made of cardboard.
Either a full pressure flipper, or some kind of vertical spinner.
Simon Berard
That's some Bronco level air time. Looking forward to this season :)
I need more tantrum 2019
BRONCO
".....and STAY OUT!"
From the sound of that, should be a new Tantrum or something? Penumatic flippers will have a very distinct sound of air being let go after the flip. Vertical spinners will definitely have some more or less wind noises. So that can only be narrowed down to not so common solutions of flippers, hydraulic and spring loaded, Hydra aleady had a test, so that must be the new Tantrum.
Nice flip! Might give bronco a run for its money
But was it them flipping something or Tombstone - BattleBots knocking another piece off? ;-)
It has to be Bronco
Another uneven match with Tantrum?
HEXBUG Micro Robotic Creatures
Check out this video where we show you which pieces will work for your perfect strategy in HEXBUG BattleBots Arena Pro or Build Your Own Bots set!
The blue spinner is legit. Only bot that can beat it Bronco.

There needs to be more singles available at Target. My son go one foe Christmas and we went to get him a second one so he could battle them but there isn't another comparable option.
My wife got me this for Christmas.

The mysterious “Selection Committee” convening at an undisclosed location on earth (third planet from the sun).
If you’d like know the outcome of this meeting before the general public, then you should become a BattleBots Supporter: facebook.com/becomesupporter/battlebots/
“Ok boys, we only have 30 slots for vertical spinners this year, choose wisely.”
This building is visible in a reflection, in case somebody wants to find the location.
a simple suggestion.... keep the "Fight Night" format. You guys really stumbled onto a brilliant idea with it
The undisclosed location is the Whalerock Industries conference room at 750 N San Vicente Blvd #900w, West Hollywood, CA 90069 😀
#allowmeltybrains
So does this mean there will be a tournament in 2019? If so, details please. Thanks.
Maybe show more battles instead of 45 minutes of filler each episode.
I seriously care more about this selection committee than the CFB or MBB tournament selection committees. lol
I want to be a supporter if it makes it possible for me to enjoy future battlebots episodes on demand or live outside of the USA. This show is the best thing on earth but I have to be "creative" to stay up to date...
Eventually stuff like this will replace "fighting" sports at the Olympics except for hockey of course.
Not been this excited by an office space in a while. This is very exciting!
New requirement: 20hp of drive train minimum :D
i'm scared
OwO
MAGNETAR! MAGNETAR! MAGNETAR!
So so excited!!!
I tried to become a supporter, but Facebook just says "error" every time I click.
Let's get that space in Long Beach reserved
Send tombstone downunder to destroy channel 9 TV programmers! Theyve moved battlebots from 730 to 11pm. Kids will miss final 2 episodes of 2018 season now :(
Does anyone know when BattleBots comes back on tv
Hopefully they'll move a channel people actually watch... (though the Science Channel gave them great coverage)
How to apply an entry bot?
Excellent! Really looking forward to seeing what this means.
Ray Billings from Tombstone is coming to The BotKids! What do your kids want to know about him, his robot, and BattleBots? Send us their questions before Friday and we'll get the answers! BattleBots Tombstone - BattleBots EDIT: We've already completed this interview, but keep an eye out for other interviews! :)
Are those wheels from Harbor Freight? XD
You're going to let that bully near kids?
Ray, you seem to revel in the role of the "villian" on BattleBots. How much of this is editing, and how much is real?
I am ready for more Battle Bots.
Good luck next season!
Such a great robot.
Can't wait looks like the chain of death was removed!!! You will regain the big nut!!!!
Following
I sure whenever the other robot builders see Tombstone roll in they think, “Oh look it’s the murder bot 5000” that thing is wicked looking.
wow!! i never thought it was that big.
Best bot
Monitor is best bot for me
Blake Lazarus
2 spinning battle bots would be self destructive. Let's see it.
The Bot Slayer!! <3
When will the new season of Battlebots start?
I love when this thing hits another bot and it goes flying across cage or whatever it's called
man during the 2018 season i wanted to see tombstone vs icewave for the giant nut and with icewave winning the giant nut but it didn't happen as icewave got beat by rotator and tombstone got beat by bombshell
When is the new season of battle bots?
One day the likes of tombstone and bite force will retire from competition. Then the field will be open for other comers to try to claim the nut without centralizing the game
How and when came their passion for the robots ? and the construction of robots ?
Sopla
Tombstone all the way! You guys rock! Waiting for your match is always full of anticipation, fear, excitment and much needed entertainment. Great job!
Raphael De Oliveira
Team Whyachi gave us a look into how influential robotics has been to this family since the inception of SOW 16 years ago. Be sure to check out this @BattleBots interview before #FightNight next week! https://youtu.be/EDw6LrWhYWc #omgrobots
New season is coming up? What channel and what time?
hard to believe SOW is only 16 years old. i remember when this thing first stomped into the ring as a stomp bot. Stomp bots, back then, got a weight bonus i think it bumped them an extra 50 pounds so they put that extra weight into the weapon. most devastating use of a loophole ive ever seen.

All of them.
Predicting Hypershock, Yeti, HUGE and Lock-Jaw to get to round 2, Hypershock and HUGE to reach the final and HUGE to win overall. Watch me be wrong and Bombshell somehow win.
You need to make a biteforce
My grandson wants icewave
Yeti or lockjaw
How about you guys do Son of Whyachi, Lock-Jaw and Warhead remote control bots?
Shannon Braunberger Vote! :D
Warhead!
ICEWAVE!!!!

New season upcoming I'm hoping

This is awesome!! 🤣 #KnockKnock #WeWantSeason4
Is that Bronco with HyperShock?

My God videos like this amp me up for a new season!

Divertido

Watched every Friday night this past summer with my 4 year old. Please tell me BattleBots will be back this year!
Robert Joseph Crawford guess what’s on the agenda for this Eve!
Literally the whole fight: Basilisk: *exist* Chomp: *lose*
Chomp needs to focus on the human element, and remove all of the tech. #wewantseason4
#Wewantseason4
Photo is real!! See it in the new Battlebot calendar 2019 photographer - Daniel L.
Basilisk won that fight by showing up.
Why wasn't Valkyrie vs Overhaul aired? That was a great fight. Ultimo Destructo proved why only fights it lost was aired when the fights it won was boring cause Valkyrie and Parallax didn't even work properly. Also, I doubt Basilisk could beat a stable bot.
Hope to see another competition being broadcast in 2019!!!!
It we're rubbish fights
Season 4 yet lol
You had me at flying chomp chomping on basilisk
Sweet!!!
🎄 Feliz prospero año nuevo a toda la familia 🎃
Unfortunately Chomp just got its ass kicked
Now this is something to smile about! Thanks everyone at Battlebots and hope there will be even more to smile about this year.
Loving this picture you used, a perfect shot!
Was Chomp-Kraken originally going to be Raven’s fight if it got going?
Can't wait to see!
Yessssssss I'm so pumped!
Sorry, we send you a big hug, happy 2019 !!!
Wow! I was expecting week by week not all at once! What a new years treat!
