Quantum is coming…
3D printed?
Lot of experts in this thread...
Caye Ruiz
Well that wont stay attached long
That is a weird looking piece of metal, and I'm worried about how well it will hold up as well as how easy it will be to replace if it does break.
Paul Cilino- Generative design appears in the strangest places, right?
Topology optimization. <3
When I first glanced at this photo I thought this was gonna be a post about weird medical devices 🤣🤣
Samuel Pearsall 🤔
What is that supposed to do???
Mitch Cohen
Ummm what?

This looks super cool! I do wonder about what will happen if this gets damaged in a fight.
Simply cant wait for this next season 😍
Looks like you cooked it too long...
Nightmare will f it up
Can someone ELI5?
When is it coming back on TV for 2019?
So that’s what it does...
How much does adamantium weigh? 😏
No offense, but it kindof reminds me of some of my wave soldering mishaps earlier in my career. Given the comments, I'm sure that this is a much more delibrate use of metal? Very interesting...
3d metal printing?
Early stages I guess
God speed to all the international robots shipping out to the USA and the 2019 BattleBots World Championship.

"...quicker than Tombstone can KO Radioactive." Shots fired lol
😍
I purchased the supporter monthly, but have not seen any updates when bots will be released. Please help, my subscription is still. Valid.
If they were sold out and now they are available? WTH. I cancelled my reservations and flight due to this. Liars
Road trip!
Oh how I wish I was that side of the pond.
I’m still waiting to hear back about wheelchair accessible arrangements? I bought 4 tickets during the initial release and emailed that day and have yet to hear back. I was going to give these to my brother for his birthday (next week).....but I will not be the one that tells him we’re going only to find out later that there isn’t accessible seating....

‘BattleBots’ Renewed On Discovery & Science Channels
deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: Robot-fighting series BattleBots has gotten a green light for a second season on Discovery and Science channels. Production begins in April in Long Beach, California&comm...
IT’S ALMOST ROBOT FIGHTING TIME
Please make a deal with Hulu to put the episodes up the next day! I cut the cord
Cannot wait till it comes back on I love this stuff
My 4yr old is obsessed with battlebots. He'll be so excited! He pretends to be the announcer lol.
Awesome! But please next time without famous female judges that don't know s**t. There are enough competent female roboteers to choose from for a diverse Judging panel
💚
They need to green light the next 5 seasons. Can't stand the will they won't they" waiting after every season.
Courtney Pierce. Woot woot! I love this show!!!
Much better than any other sport on TV....!
Would love to see Grant Imahara return.
Ya should tour like Wrestling. All over the states!
YES!!! And i got tix to see them live next month!
Yes!!!! This is something that inspires my 6 year old daughter into STEAM based things. She wants to make a Hello Kitty robot now. (Trying to figure out how to do it) I am so glad this show got renewed.
Faruq Tauheed rocks the house, He is the personality of the show!
netflix or hulu deal in the future maybe? who pays for cable?
You have made my sons’ day. Maybe week. Maybe month. Maybe year. ❤️
I remember watching this with my kids when it was on Comedy Central, and thinking that that station was so wrong for that kind of program, and it belonged on Discovery or something like it. I'm glad to see it on Discovery and happy to see it going on for another season.
So is it going to be shown in the UK?? We've missed the last couple of series
1 year is great, can we get a long term deal, that would be better
Best show on earth
That's AWESOME!!! can't wait. Congratulations to ALL of the bot builders
My boys (okay husband & I too) are super excited!! My boys build “battle bots” out of their Legos all the time and battle🐞
Already have my live session tickets! Phoenix, AZ loves robot fighting time!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! BRING IT!!!
Attention BotFans: Once again we're asking for your help. This is team unicorn from Russia. We have invited them to compete at the 2019 BattleBots World Championship. The have fought all over the world, but never in the USA. They need funding to get their robot up to BattleBots fighting shape and help with travel expenses. Please help their funding campaign if you can - Many Thanks!
planeta.ru/campaigns/unicorn
Putting my credit card info on a Russian website? What could go wrong.
If you can't afford to build your own battlebot, you can't afford to come here to have it torn apart by minotaur and rebuild it. Make people get their own funding, this is the kinda shit that makes people unfollow pages. People have so many better things to donate to on gofundme if they like doing that.
This has to be said: the comments here are outrageous and I’m appalled to see such toxic behaviour from the fandom. Let’s get some things straight here: - These women built the robots. Yes, they did, and they’re a bigger team in Russia than you think. - No, their robot in the pictures may have MLP artwork on them but that doesn’t mean they’ll be at BattleBots with that artwork - “Oh no a Carbide clone” — I didn’t realise Carbide’s design was a patent. With that logic, that’s like saying anything with two wheels and a frame with a spinner on it is Tombstone. - Finally, it’s good that they’re invited to BattleBots to compete because THEY’RE A POPULAR ALL-WOMAN TEAM FROM RUSSIA. If diversity isn’t your thing you can feck off. Seriously people, you should be better than this.
Geesh, why so much negativity? BattleBots invited them. They've competed all over the world. It's not like Russia is even with the US in terms of wealth and opportunity.
I usually pick a hobby i can afford to maintain
Could BB set-up a something like an English-language GoFundMe page for this cause?
If you have invited them then you foot the bill. I'm sure you make more than enough with worldwide tv deals, merch ECT to cover one team that YOU want there
Good grief. Battle bots have become spam advertising.
Nice to see BattleBots becoming more international.. Hope they make it.
Hey everyone, I got a new hobby and I want to come to America to do it, non stop drinking! But you guys have to pay for it!
Ask our president for the funds
Дивовижний робот! And nice to see some Eastern Europe representation at Battlebots. I imagine they will need to repaint before the show but as the images don't seem to have been taken literally yesterday they may have repainted and changed up already. Cannot wait to see them!
Plus they'll need money for the copyright lawsuit from using "my little pony" images without consent, lol
So these are just the girlfriends of the three builders, right? And thought Battlebots was done with this My Little Pony shit.
That’s a no from me dogg
Carbide is a brony confirmed!
Between them and Elly my daughter is going to really enjoy this season!
Now all we need is them vs Carbide (or is it Cobalt)
Interesting new paint job on Cobalt Dave Moulds!
BattleBots can you set up an English version thru a trusted site? I'd love to help out but can read Russian and am unsure about the security of foreign sites
Team Unicorn! What’s there not to love? My daughter is going to be all in lol
Hey... They have Maduro's oil. They don't need what little I have.
Done, let's get them to battlebots!
Carbide/Cobalt’s unholy child
wanna see a vertical spinner rip those ponies off lol kids! look away now!
Happy International Women's Day to our amazing and inspirational group of women bot builders from the 2018 season. Let us know in the comments how these women have inspired you, your daughters, nieces and granddaughters to get into Engineering/Making.
There's more to come in 2019 including female led teams from China and the UK, and a fabulous group of ladies from Russia!
And thanks to Sarah and Dale from Robot Wars Shuntposting for creating the image.
Andrea Suarez of team Witch Doctor definitely inspired me to get out of the biology lab and into the machine shop from time to time and now I’m involved with a robotics team and hope to meet her soon!!!
Hola a toda la comunidad . alguien sabe de un chatbot que interactue con informacion no estructurada para conversacion fluida?
BuT wHaT aBoUt MeN
Thank you for recognizing women in STEM! #ilooklikeanengineer
Leanne Cushing is my favorite cause she's so pretty and nice (when she hugged Hal Rucker)
Witch Doctor!
I would like to thank Carmen Electra for getting me interested in Battlebots at a very early age.
😍

Wow already
The box will be locked...
Does anyone know if they are going to broadcast?
Attention BotFans! If you become one of our Facebook Supporters you will get to see the 67 Bots we have selected to compete in the BattleBots 2019 World Championship. We're revealing 5 per day. Sign up and become a Supporter and find out who made the cut!
They could just be showing info about an older bot.
People actually think La Machine is competing 🤔🤔🤔
Blacksmith Vs Lama. Let’s do this Munson !
I much prefer Llama Sheen😂
Lol @ everyone who thinks La Machine is actually competing
"Will win a shoving match" Let's hope battlebots doesn't become a bunch of shoving matches.
Since when did Al Kindle start running the main Battlebots page? lol
Wow I paid for the confirmation to be secret now the cats out of the bag la machine(no) battlebots 2019 champion
YES BRING BACK THE WEDGEBOTS
I just love so many things about all of this.
so we can throw wedgebots into battlebots again? i thought yall were trying to avoid wedgebots stunting the sport like they did back in the day. can anybody count how many 'original sins' there are???? gary gin should be happy if he can get away with just driving a wedge...
Looks like something from Robot Wars.
I like how that's a real youtube link... yes, I took the time to type it in...
Did La Machine seriously have a top speed of 25 mph? Geez.
If wedgebots come back can Razor too?
Plz bring nightmare back
You know it's legit when PAM is part of the build!
PAM? Yeah. That will make a difference. 😂😂😂
I thought damage was calculated as "damage by weapons".. What is its weapon?
OMG LA MACHINE CONFIRMED! (Sorry, you knew someone was gonna say it)
"Ok two dead weapons let's see here" - Ray Billings, 2018.
La Machine vs "Lame" Duck = boring.....not worth watching.
Wait La Machine? Didn’t that compete in the original Robot Wars back in the late 90s?
Well...its a very simple weapon. But can it do any real damage, and can it sustain hits from powerful spinners like tombstone or huge?
So Battlebots is looking for Facebook jockstraps now?
And now Monday 4/22 bites the dust…Gone…SOLD OUT. Only tickets for Tuesday, April 16 thru Thursday, April 18 are left for BattleBots 2019 (and Thursday 4/18 is just about sold out too).
