Serious science here folks. Flux Actuated Kinematic Engines are next level…In this video, I show the all-new drive system for Copperhead, a 250 pound combat robot that will appear in BattleBots Season 4. We're using some new technol...
Flux Actuated Kinetic Engines = FAKE
“Flux Actuated Kinematic Engines”. Well doesn’t THAT sound like something made by Aperture Science...
Damn, I’m gullible as hell. 🤪🥴
Lol too good
Needs more wheels
Can it also power a certain DeLorean's power needs?
I'm an electrical engineering graduate, but you still have me going for a while. LOL I just kept thinking... Well it wasn't long ago that we discovered the zillionth state of matter. I suppose anything is possible
April Fools!!!
And LIPOS will be replaced with MNR's, or Micro Nuclear Reactors.
I use flux anytime I solder can confirm so much power
TFW (That Face When) Copperhead fluxes all over the actuated kinematic engines
BotFans: The Desperado Flash Tournament will be back for the 2019 season. If you'd like to see It LIVE that event is scheduled for Tuesday, April 16*—and Tickets are still available here: battlebotslive2019.eventbrite.com/?aff=Facebook
*Dates and time subject to change (robots can break : )
*Despacito
Hail Lock-Jaw and team Mutant Robots! Try to avoid the DFT this year, OK?
Dave Preston wooooo
Can we limit entrants for the desperado tournament to bots that are actually on the chopping block instead of a dominant bot playing gate keeper that isnt in danger of missing the next phase of the tournament. Me and some friends feel thats what hutson was doing. Gate keeping with a bot that has no worries. Just food for thought.
I loved this concept, so glad it’s coming back for the new season.
Love it! My favourite 34 hours of life at Battlebots. .. Stressful. But fun .. fun ... fun.
Minotaur for The Nut!!!!!!!
Eddie Ray Aguina you down to go this year
Wow! That's the day we're coming to the taping. So exciting!!
Will the desperado tournament will filming at the 1st, the 2nd or both taping sessions that day?
Let's go #bronco !
Hopefully they fixed the offensive armor rule so bots built to destroy don’t end up losing to garbage like duck and lockjaws rear plate........ if not then it’ll be a season of unwatchable pushbot “fights” .....
Nooo, I'm going the day AFTER this 🤦♂️
Why does the footage not look so great. I went last year and the cameras looked like they could do a great job capturing lots of movement on screen but the show from the cameras view looked like...
So early a decision?
will ya'll be bringing back the different weight catagories? i felt that the different weight limits increased a wider variety of creative bots on the floor. heavy weights are dominated by drums and horizontal spinners

Cant wait to see what this season has man i love this show

New game start!
BotFans. only 10 hours left in this ticket auction (and no one has bid!). This is your chance to get 4 tickets to the first 4 sessions of BattleBots for as little as $200 total (if no one out bids you). If you bought these tickets on their own they would cost $440—and those Saturday sessions are already sold out.

Thanks for the heads up! I bought it.
If you buy my flights I would be there
Anyone know when the new season will be on Amazon?
The BattleBox build continues. Soon, the sounds of forklifts will make way for the sounds of robots.
Song - A Mental Breakdown (Instrumental Version) by Sven Karlsson (www.epidemicsound.com)
Continue sem buracos, por favor. <3
Whoop! Can’t wait to see HUGE!!
I'm a late comer (Season 15) but once I saw that first episode, I was hooked. What a fun show. I especially like it when parts fly!
the sound of forklifts battling when free shipping gets into the ring
Out of curiosity is Tantrums fist still lodged into that one pole? 😛
Make sure the floor is Tombstone-proof!
Omg! It's nearly Robot Fighting Time!!!
“Soon the sounds of forklifts will make way for the sounds of Robots”... what about Free Shipping? — that robot IS a forklift, LOL!!!
come to a normal channel. I don't get discovery.
when it starting?? i need my bot fight...lol
When does 2019 season start?
I am very excited again for another season of BattleBots!
Drew Adams Braden Blanchard
EEEEEKKKK!!!
Can’t wait for next season
I can’t wait!
Let's hope bronco can send a bot into the lights
So excited!
It’s almost robot fighting time!
Yes! Can’t wait 😊
I’m ready! Can’t wait for the battles!
Kevin Ross
Will the battlebox still have the old, unused hazards like the dozen or so little pistons and the hell razers? I noticed last season they were never used (which is good, killsaws screws and pulverizers is enough) but countless times a robot with low clearance would ram into one of the old hazards. Why put them in if they aren't used? I imagine installing them is harder than just using a standard piece of flooring..
BotFans - Last chance to bid on this four pack of BattleBots tickets for Friday, April 12 - Saturday, April 13 (which is already SOLD OUT). This may the last way to get tickets for these first two days of the 2019 World Championship - taking place in Long Beach, CA.
All proceeds will go to EBGIS, an Elementary School in Emeryville CA.

Channeling our inner Eisenstaedt
you guys ever get the money from ray for that floor tile?
Who’s stoked for Battlebots Live? That would be me!
Adam H
Can't wait til battlebots is back
Do they re-build it every time? That's got to be expensive...
I can hear Faruq’s intros already...
*Sees Tombstone Coming* OH NO
Eisenstaedt? Sounds like i should know that word, but can't recognize it...
I need carnage
BEAUTIFUL. Just make sure SOW doesn't blow it up
Any new Hazards for this year's BattleBox?
It's getting closer to ROBOT FIGHTING TIME! Tickets still available at battlebotslive2019.eventbrite.com/?aff=Facebook

Cant wait for it to air on tv 🙂
Hurry up. This is one of the few shows I will watch. No politics no propaganda just pure entertainment.
Alexis Ochsenbein
Let's goooo!
Come to dc next season 👀
Is this not the same venue as usual? I thought the arena was always up.
Finally !!!!!
I always love these behind the scenes videos! Theses ones are exceptionally well done as well.
Is that a practice rink?
Not this year...but I WILL see it live someday, dammit!
Gonna get me a rake and knock that drone out of the sky!
Miguel Vinzon
Cant wait
At Boeing in Long Beach ca where they made the c-17 globemaster
Greg Lewis ❤️
CANT FIING WAIT !!!!!!
God Speed to all the BattleBots shipping out to Long Beach from all around the USA. Please send out your positive energy, prayers and good vibrations for safe arrival!
My favorite is Brazilian Minotaur, very radical, I am from China's robot team, I want to challenge more robots.
I’m exited!!!
This answers the question of how deadly fighting robots get past customs. I mean, buying an extra plane ticket and calling it a therapy pet was my leading guess until this
Arriving in crates, leaving in bin bags... 😂🤖
Its robot fighting time
John Fowee
Really looking forward to this new series! And it’s gonna be recording over my birthday which is pretty cool 😀
With the way these things are used, do they really need to be crated? Slap a shipping sticker on the bot and send it on it’s way!😄
As a truck driver, I have transported mri machines, medication and other life saving equipment. I can honestly say that if my truck had a battlebot in the back, I could finally call my cargo “precious”. 5 miles under the limit with the hazards on the whole way!
IT'S ROBOT FIGHTING TIME!
When does the NEW season start?
Kevin Ross
May they all arrive fully assembled and working, even if they didn't leave home that way. 😃
So excited
For Axe Backwards we need to send them negative energy as it's backwards thinking
May the cogs be ever in your favor.
Safe Travels 👍
Wish I could make it to a show, but I'm happy knowing I can see it on Discovery at least
Can’t wait to watch this season’s matches!
Redemption for Tombstone!
crate 'em up!
Oh brother. You make it sound so life altering. It's a game. They get torn up one way or another. They're not real or alive. Get a grip and come back to reality and face challanges.
So excited!!!!!!
God Speed BattleBox. Your glorious domain and Lexan membrane, to protect and contain, and display the campaign of the bots most insane. (Song - Tomahawk by Tigerblood Jewel - www.epidemicsound.com. Edit by our CrewBot @maxandersonfilms
Eeeee vamo que vamo, loko para ver essa temporada. Essa vai dar MINOTAUR!!!
David Diestelkamp Elissa Diestelkamp Aaron Diestelkamp Christa Bonk the caption 😄
\m/
You know back in the old days the killsaws in the battlebox was alot more active... instead of the last minute of the fight, start them up at the halfway mark like 1 minute and thirty seconds. I miss them killsaws, give em some more action!
In the words of the iconic one, “Iiiiiiits, robot fightin’ tiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!”
Can we get a spoiler as to what lights are going to be on the sides whether it’s bright white lights soft white lights or something else
Good thing they are protected, would be a shame if something would happen to the floor 😉
What do you do with the lexan after the event filming there is a small group in Vegas that would totally be willing to take some extra lexan off your hands
Protect and contain...is this SCP now? 0.o
FaDol Smak
Use the force my little Padowan
Oh,yea!!!!!! Cool.!!!!👍👍👍👍
lets see if ray can ruin more floor panels this year lmao
Are those killsaws new? They look thicker and beefier than the ones that died constantly in the past few seasons.
Can;t wait to watch it.
Load 'em up!
season 3 has been approved....it will be on Science channel and Discovery channel....sometime in summer
More footage of the technology of the bots please.
seems like someone at BB has a great taste of music too lol cant wait
Can't wait.
I got my tickets, can’t wait to see them live
Oh yes! More of this, please!
Battlebots forever...
The hype is real
Dinesh knows what the hot ticket is! And chicken wings may or may not be available… but tickets still are, especially for the weekday 4/16-4/18 sessions. $10 off if you use promo code MondayMonday.
See BattleBots LIVE: www.eventbrite.com/e/battlebots-2019-live-robot-combat-tickets-on-sale-limited-seats-tickets-5607...
Such a good reference, battlebots is fkin amazing
I love that they actually used someone’s Battlebots tickets off eventbrite for this. Lol
Hmm Battlebots KFC DeathCamp 🤔🤣
Will the battles be televised for those of us who can not make it to Long Beach?
Just make sure Dinesh doesn't get drunk before the event. He gets so sincere, it's really awkward.
Zach Connolly
Hi BotFans! - just wanted you to know we have arrived in Long Beach and the BattleBox Arena is being built as we speak. We'll be posting exclusive content and live videos from the stage for our Supporters starting next week.
Become a Supporter if you'd like to see!
Lucas Larkin
Make sure to take plenty of photos for your insurance company before Tombstone gets in there and rips your floor up. 😁
The combat sport arena of the future!
If you build it THEY will come
Plenty of time to test the screws......
Has it been upgraded to be more “tombstone proof” Don’t want to see him take out the floor again 😂🤣
Bring back Mechadon!
Like how the killsaws are built into their sections of floor.
Yea
Oh boy oh boy! Four bots I’m rooting for: Son of Whyachi, Minotaur, Warhead and LockJaw!
Come to the east coast...... please!!!!!!!
When will the new season air on the Discovery Channel?
Yes!
Just Imagine Mammoth's Table
😁
Yessss!
Yeah! Destroy each other you robots!!! Give us more amusement! Muahahahaha
Tickets for the 2019 BattleBots World Championship are selling out fast - some weekend sessions are already gone!
But there are still a limited supply of $10 TUNNEL TICKETS!!!
battlebotslive2019.eventbrite.com/?aff=FacebookTunnelTix
If you’ve seen BattleBots on TV, you’ll know that the robots that fight in our Main Events enter through a tunnel where they wave to the audience before their big fight. We have a limited number of seats available that are right next to this tunnel, and they offer a unique experience that the other seating options don’t deliver:
Tunnel Tickets are one of the best place to sit if you want to be seen on the TV show, as cameras will be on you and your reactions as the Main Event robots enter for their fight. So dress up, wave signs and get noticed.
Tunnel Tickets are in an area where much of the show production is happening so you might also catch a glimpse of all the goings on behind the scenes: Things like Faruq practicing his lines, or Chris and Kenny prepping for an intro or interview.
Tunnel Tickets are behind the BattleBox Arena and have a restricted view of the fights—hence the discounted $10 price—but don’t worry, there will be a large monitor setup so you will be able to see the fights just fine.
Purchase your Tunnel Tickets here:

i just wanna see the pits. if i could meet ray billings i could die happy. if i could touch tombstone and grab a selfie i could explode into a billion pieces and still be the happiest person ever. i wanna see if i can bench that bar!
Bring a friend?
Kandi Chong
Wait so if the tunnel is only used in main events, then where does robots normally enter from?
Get em while you can!
Can I wear my college of engineering school shirt? I have a GA ticket. Thanks!
