"A Las Vegas show that I would have begged my parents to take me to… who are we kidding I had more fun as an adult"
-- - Vegas Feedz
"This has been my favorite experience in Las Vegas. The people at the event center were so nice and welcoming. Jackpot and Malice drivers were present to talk to. The show was fun to watch. We always watch it on TV, so we were so excited to see it in person. If you are a fan then this is a must do. You will love it and enjoy seeing the action in real life. It is so awesome to see how big the bots really are."
– Jana H.
"SO MUCH FUN!
This was our 3rd time coming as a family. Each time it gets better and better! So fun for the kids to see the arena hazards and bots live! Some great fights with some unexpected surprises. We really had a blast! Just know when you come that it’s not the Discovery filming for the regular tournament. It is a live show with real unscripted fights and we loved it!."
– NYMom
"tl;dr Destruct-a-thon was the best thing we did in Vegas
… turned out to be the most wholesome, genuine, worth-the-money activity that we did while we were in Vegas. I highly recommend. Nothing better than nerds having fun. Few things you can do in a city like Vegas are equally as engaging and exciting to both 10 year olds and to 30 year olds."
– Nicholas
"Loved everything. I will be back. What a great fun environment that is positive for families, teens, couples, anyone who wants to have a great time in Las Vegas that isn’t drinking and gambling. Nice to see kids so engaged in science! Loved the merch selection."
– Happy fan
"We had a wonderful time at Destruct-A-Thon! Lots of great fights, high energy announcers, enthusiastic and knowledgeable Bot teams and well organized event! We bought general admission seats but still had an excellent view of the arena. Good merchandise and snacks were available, along with photo-ops with the Bot Teams! If you like BattleBots, you'll have an awesome time."
– Tara
"You get to watch 5 battles of pure robot carnage and mayhem…My kids absolutely loved it"
– Vegasstarfish

– C.B.
"The show is full of energy, interactive and the boys had the best time. There's not a bad seat!"
– Vegas Family Guide
"It was crazy! There was fire and all sorts of chaos going on. I honestly didn't know what to expect when I came here, but If you're looking for something to do in Vegas for all ages this is the spot."
– Terrakimberlyscott

Can't wait! Looks like Alejandro Pina made a few massive upgrades on DOOM from his last proving grounds matches & the bot was looking awesome during testing last night.
I hope there is an awesome proving ground when we are out there at the end of this month!!!
Hopefully doom wins this... horiozion was horrible to watch during the tournament
These matches are to determine next tournaments competitors?
Doom, you say?

Happy National Donut Day! ... See MoreSee Less
Love the letter donuts. Good call to make the word BATTLE all in red and BOTS in blue. This sign at filming for BATTL EBOTS was... unsettling!
Sam Gallagher was here 😜
where do you get the scrabble donuts?
Can y’all mail me one? I’m tryna see something 🤤
It would have looked a lot better if they were taken out of the box!? Wth
I think someone ate the 'I' 'O' 'N'...
Yeah awesome if you are in the states to go and watch it, for a competition so world wide it disgraceful not to air it and cash in on people having to be in there to see it
Cool. How long did it take to make that? I like the red and blue frosting.
Cool!
Battle destr a th, bo uc on, ts t ?
How long before somebody rearranged them into an inappropriate message?
Bring on the bots. I am already having bot withdrawal.

When the heck is Champions 2 airing?!
I’ve got a feeling that this is going to be only filled of roasts from wrong decisions.
Oh I’ve got some questions
Everyone who doesn’t like the job they’re doing, please have the moral courage to state SPECIFICALLY why.
It seems like the new rules brought in some consistentsy. Because apart from the malice Valkyrie fight i havent seen a single conteoversial decision this season. Nice going
You do an amazing job judges! Keep kicking ass 😁
I wish I could ask them, in the case it is so close they had to step in and look at damage, might a 60-second “overtime” be an option, letting the drivers determine the outcome? 🤔
They do a great job, it seems like it's a tough one.
Bring back Complete Control!
When you get Rivers Cuomo, Courtney Love, and David Grohl on Wish.
When are they airing the golden bolt tournament?
Please keep it civil.
Got Lenscrafters on speed dial.
My favorite ❤️
Armchair judges all of you. Think you could do better? Then do it. I say the same thing to those who criticize referees/umpires in all sports. Until you’ve done it you have no clue how hard the job actually is.
What's your vision rated at?
🖕🏽
ugh... this is gonna get ugly quick

Copperhead has such a durable drum that the egg beater on Riptide literally broke in half. That’s how much power and durability Copperhead is.

Super proud of you guys, go frog!!!!!!!
Great run this year, guys! Superbly well done!
I had no idea what happened to Ribbot in the tournament but they pulled upsets like no other this year. Upsetting Quantum, Black Dragon, and Hydra. So congrats to them to make it all the way to the Semi Finals
Good work this season, frog. Good work.
"name my band"
Tim favorit 😁🤗
Ribbot was a real bracket buster this postseason. Despite narrowly making the Top 32 at 1-3, Ribbot made the Top 4 after upsets over Quantum, Black Dragon and even Hydra. Only falling short to the champ, SawBlaze.
Dat frog kicks some ass

Was this the fight of the season? ... See MoreSee Less
Honestly there were a lot of fights that could’ve been Fight of the Year.
Endgame vs Copperhead was amazing , first half was Endgame dominating , 2nd half was copperhead slowly but surly ripping Endgame apart
Minotaur vs Cobalt was the best
Not sure. I think other fights were better.
Hydra/Ribbot, so dumb! Jake gets an F minus!
For me defiantly the final. My 2 faverout bots made it. Both I kinda scoffed at when I fist saw them in the pits, but both completely changed my opinion after their first fight. One became my pick to win, the other i was ready to write off. When sawblaze is 100% only flippers who can get under him have an advantage. It Just a brilliant bot with speed mobility, great shield and wedge/forks and devastating weapons with a great driver. I expected saw blaze to be top 4 every year. Huge on the other hand showed his full potential the season. I was ready to write him off, but he showed how dominate Huge can be. Both unique entertaining bots that are very hard to both attack and defend against. They hit bots where they can't even really put armor. They are designed to cause problem for the traditional bots, I'm so happy got to see both at full potential. have these 2 bots in mind while designing. Togeather HUGE and Saw Blaze have very few weaknesses and pack not only a hard put precise punch, and some hard hitting robots espically new teams like Riparoni and rip tide fix some (rookie) bugs.
What’s next?
BattleBots make a BB video game for current gen consoles!! We the fans neeeeeeed it!!
They really need to have a 4-6 Bot battle royal. That would be epic

AMA with HUGE - Battlebots today at 7pm ET over at Reddit.com/r/BattleBots ... See MoreSee Less
someone please tell HUGE i say hello and kiss kiss! 😘😂 (I have to go out tonight so can’t go to the AMA) 💜🤖💥
You have to give HUGE - Battlebots a big round of applause. They went 4-0 in the qualifying round, got it’s highest seed ever in #6, and going all the way to the Final. Can’t wait to see what they have next year.
Even though you're not the ones with the Giant Nut, I find that both you and SawBlaze are champions together in my books. It would be heartwarming to see a picture of Jamison Go and Jonathan Schultz together.
This boy Is very remarkable! Im so happy for their success this season!
HUGE, congratulations on your best season. Going 4-0, and making it to the championship; big accomplishment. Hope to see more.
Good for you this season HUGE! You guys did great!
Always loved huge. Everyone always said they wouldnt amount to much; was a bad gimmick. For all intents and purposes, they won the fight before it began. No team will face them with the bot the always use, they always need an attachment and the fact that sawblaze had to do something its never done, huge should take pride. Love sawblaze, glad they won, but huge has nothing to be ashamed of. Both are winners in my book.
Huge is my favorite bot this season. It was such an innovative design and it's proven itself in the arena. Why does the team keep using spoked wheels, though? That seems to be a way for an opponent to snag and break the wheels. I'd suggest putting a shield on the wheels -- a thin, semi-rigid disk of plastic or aluminum up against the wheels on the outside of the spokes, just to keep anything from getting in between the big wheel's spokes.
Great team. Great people!!!! SO happy for your success.
They had a GREAT season! Glad they didn't give up on the design. Sawblaze deserved the win, but had Huge won instead, it would have been just as good!
I hope Huge doesn't get retired. Such a creative bot and a great team. Hope to see it continue competing!
One no one expected to be the runner-up.
Thank you so much for the excellent sportsmanship all of you showed this season!
Really impressive showing, I never had anything against this team but I obviously didn't give them the respect they deserved! Looking back at thr biteforce fight this all makes sense.
While it isnt a giant nut, an otherwise undefeated season is a record few bots can claim. extremely close fight, But I dont see barely loosing to JG as a negative. Absoluelty Epic season HUGE - Battlebots!
Congratulations on your Amazing season , keep up the good work, we are proud of you 👏❤️.
great season, team Huge!
Amazing season. Look forward to what is in store next season!!
Congratulations guys!!!! Runner up sounds very good to me!!!
HUGE…. Made a statement this season FoSho.
Where can I watch it ?
Very impressive season.
Come to Wisconsin
Amo este robot, un diseño muy inteligente 🤩
What are those wheels made out of for them not to break in battle 🤔

Thanks to @sebtheve for the fantastic photos! ... See MoreSee Less
It was SO MUCH FUN!!
I sent some of those All Elite Wrestling stars there last weekend too. They said they had a blast and everyone was fantastic.
We had a blast! So glad you have opened shows up in Vegas, my son and myself was in Heaven and loved meeting the drivers and getting to hold the GIANT NUT made it even better. We ❤️ Battle Bots
Just got married in vegas and that was on our to do list while we were over that way. It was cool but I would've liked to see the one that you actually see on tv
We were here in Feb. awesome show! I didn’t realize how much fun it was to yell ‘fight, fight, fight’ until I got there. Thank you Battlebots Destruct-a-thon!!
We were in Vegas for this and attended this event, so cool. We have pics and autographs very cool experience
It was alright. Would recommend once but I'll probably never go again. Seems like they held back a little bit to me.
They were rolling and flying all season. Punching and smashing into pieces. What a great season it was!
If I ever go to Vegas I would be more then happy to go. Just don’t plan on traveling cross country anytime soon.
Dates for this?? Tickets still available or any shows pending in LasVegas?
Love to live other there and come watch
How can battlebots be at battlebots?! Also, heard rumors that it’s staged, hoping it’s not true.
This is the one thing om my Bucket List!
ok I know it's stupid but I'm still a newbie. The Giant Nut is for the World Champion and the Golden Nut is for the ????
Congrats Team Sawblaze! 👏
Soon much fun!
what is that slot machine 🎰
Very cool 😎

Another awesome BattleBots Proving Ground match coming this weekend at Destruct-A-Thon. Get your tickets here: battlebots.com/tickets ... See MoreSee Less
When are the next televised events?
It's truly amazing to see how much hard work and dedication these two teams put in during filming and since filming was over . Way to go Team Horizon and Team Doom.
I will never not find Horizon the most gorgeous bot in BB.
Horizon was in the Top 50 for WC VII. Does this mean they have the potential of getting knocked out of Top 50? Does Doom take their place if they win? Or do bots go through multiple proving ground fights before their rankings are determined? Just wondering how high stakes each individual match is and what it means when we see bots like Horizon and Banshee in proving ground fights.
Thats blacksmith lol
Roger Thompson
I like seeing more innovative designs. Vert spinners are getting stale.
Lets go Doommmm
Hey BattleBots is there any way we can watch these untelivised fights without being there in person? Like a Livestream?

More chicken dinner coming soon… ... See MoreSee Less
Keep up the good work!
I’ve heard there’s no Gatekeepers this time around. Why is that?
This photo looks like a tease for a new season of Battlebots Champions. If so I can't wait to see which bots will be competing for the Golden Bolt
That is just something I am ready for
The Golden Bolt?!
Sawblaze should have the chance to get the matching bolt!!
Apple Sausage
WHEN??? I need more the battlebots withdrawal is real

AMA with team RioBotz (Minotaur) today at 6pm ET (8pm Brazilian time) over at Reddit.com/r/BattleBots ... See MoreSee Less
Minotaur was always one of my favorites. I remember they won their debut tournament and I was so stoked!
Great BOT GREAT. TEAM
I have a feeling Marco Meggiolaro was Minotaur’s good luck charm this year because they went 4-0 in the qualifying round
So sad they didn't win. I really thought it was going to be their year. One of my favorite bots and teams!
Parabéns minotaur, lutou bravamente, desta vez não deu por um detalhe, mas a persistência leva a vitória, com certeza ela vai chegar!
I like this bot, but after watching so much norwalk, I've really come to see Jamo as a super human being. He is a humble champ, that helps everyone and is always trying new things. Love to see his walker tech in battlebots
Great robot, great team.
the sound of its spinning drum give me shiver but love every min of it 👍
I really enjoyed watching you this season. I can’t believe how strong your bot is even if it’s on fire!
Minotaur is my absolute favorite BattleBot!! The whole team did amazing this year, but I will say I noticed a pattern of Minotaur getting flipped over almost immediately in every fight. I know he’s a tank, but they take a lot of unnecessary hits because of this, and it ended up being their downfall. Daniel is one of the best drivers out there, but he needs to be more precise with each hit. Especially the first hit of each match.
My favourite team!!
One of the best parts of the entire season was when Marco was being interviewed and he mentioned that next year they will need to cover their bottom as well in the shot of that moment is Daniel smiling and laughing.
Why is the Discovery app not up to date with this season, or any other season??
Minotaur is my favorite! Always was and always will be!
Can i join your team..?! love from South-Africa 😄
Awesome team! 💗
Enjoying reading these AMA transcripts! Thanks for arranging and posting!
Bad match up against saw blaze
My favorite
I love Minotaur!😍
My fav!!
Great team! See you next season!
Jennifer
We still need too see Minotaur V.S Riptide with both drivers at thier best... that would be a slugfest.
Fanatic Job!

Why not use forks like ribbot did against hydra? U guys probably would have beaten him
If they can get some floating wedgelets like Bite Force had, they will be pretty tough to beat, regardless who the opponent is imo
