Crew shout outs: Today we honor Director Ryan Polito. Ryan is the master of the control room, the person in charge of capturing the amazing fights for TV. Calling all the shots and cues, Ryan is one of the main reasons our Cable TV show looks like a Network Prime Time Special.
He did an amazing job I feel! Can’t be easy keeping track of all that mayhem!
Always directing us to classic battles! Thanks much!
I love all of you for bringing so much to an otherwise, junk television viewing. 🤙❤️
Excellent Job. If you have ever watched the raw footage on youtube, you can really see how much work goes into making the show.
Battlebots is an awesome show! Thank you!
Amazing job
Good work - Thanks!
Love Battle Bots and the episode in Shameless where Lip builds a Bot!
Saturday Shout Outs: Today we honor the Story Team lead by CoEP Matt Silverberg. Matt and team bring all the blood, sweat and robot tears happening in The Pit to life on your screens. Anything you see with the Bot Builders or Jenny Taft is the great work of the these talented story ninjas!
Your team is amazing! Thanks for adding so much to the BattleBots recipe. You folks are a key ingredient.
Story telling is an art! Thanks for all you do!🖤💜💚💀
It’s cool that you do these behind the scenes staff things 😀
Great work, team!!
Great stories, great crew. Looking forward to Duck! and Hal’s next season!
Awesome crew, I'm ready for next season
Mahalo Story Team. 🤙❤️
thank you all !!!!
Their (she) Robot, SUCKS ! ! ! sucks ! sucks
really ROBOT !
Team Whiplash - BattleBot proves that STEM programs (like robot fighting sports) work!
Evidence that STEM Programs Work
www.electronicdesign.com
Two kids from California took their mechanical design skills, honed from their father and a STEM-related program, to the BattleBots arena.Yeah, it works ! LOL
🤘
NO HOMO, I'm the best robotic engineer of all time
Crew shout outs: Today we honor the Arena Crew, AKA the CrewBots - led by Peter Lambertson, Matt Neubauer and Shawn Lambertson. This incredible team not only designs, builds and repairs the BattleBox (a never ending job), but they also move all the robots in and out of the arena quickly and safely. Along with BattleBots Founder Trey Roski, they put out all the fires, they clear all the smoke, and they ready The Box for match after every loving match. Thanks all!
An often thankless job thank you to these wonderful people and to whoever's idea it was to do these posts, thank you as well.
My people!! 🙌
Must be hard watching the box get trashed all of the time! Keep up the good work. 🖤💜💚💀
And, 🤔 it looks like the first man in the left does ALLOT 💪🏼
Great job folks...you may want to put a quick look at the work they do in the show once in a while. BTW, when is the next show?
Hey CrewBots, If you were a Robot, 🤔what would be your Name and power weapon? (I know you must’ve answered that allot but, tell me)
I’m looking forward to another season of “BattleBots”. More carnage, more mayhem. Bring it on!
My condolences for your floor
Keep it up Pete! Make the Battlebox even deadlier next year!
"Ray Billings Fan Club" this is not...
you guys do a real good job
want to know all about box construction
These guys rock!
I like it.
Crew shout outs: Today we honor Mark Setrakian, super genius bot builder and creator of Axis 2 - the robotic sculpture that holds the Giant Nut.
I know Mark’s a hella busy guy but I’d still love to see him roll out a new robotic work of art with today’s technology and put it into the Battlebox, even if just for a single exhibition match(because it would likely be so gloriously complex that any significant damage to it would make it an insane time sink to repair).
I loved that nut holder, I would be proud to place anything on display on its plate!
Way to go! 💀💚💜🖤
That is the coolest trophy display I have ever seen!!
Even though I didn’t get Battlebots here in the UK back then i was still in awe at what Mark created back then! Axis 2 is such a clever way of showing off the nut that I’m glad hes still around, even if not in the box itself 😀
Its a little sad his recent work does nothing but hold Battlebot's nuts.
Mechadon and Snake were marvels of engineering! The guy is a master!
He was also a judge with Peter Abrahamason at the 2009 BattleBots college event
he needs to put a new bot into the ring. the master was such a cool bot but of course i would love to see snake and mechadon again
That robotic trophy display is genius!
And he created his own giant robot combat TV, but unfortunately only last one season...
Is it time for another season yet? I am going thru withdrawal symptoms
Shoutout Saturday: Today we honor our script team Stad, Jay, Murray, Courtney And David. These folks stay up into the wee hours of the night fine tuning the wit and pizazz of our scripts. If you want to know who to blame for Faruq’s rhymes - look no further : )
If by blame you mean thank from the bottom of my heart for helping to make Faruq the best part of the the show outside of the fighting itself then yes, I blame you all for that.
We applaud you!!! We love to hear Faruq’s introductions!!!! Great job!!
You all are amazing I love listening to the introductions. Thanks for all your brain storming
My family loves BattleBots, Faruq Tauheed's intros and Team Skorpios - BattleBot. This year, the script team has outdone themselves. Great job, keep it up ... your pun-filled efforts are truly appreciated and have brought much joy and laughter into our lives! 👏👏👏
Faruq’s intros are awesome! Great job! 😁
Love Farug's intros! Great job!!!!
All you do is appreciated but the biggest props go out for Faruq's intros!💜🖤💚💀
Thank you guys, this show is great.
I gotta admit. I am a little heartbroken those were not Faruq original.
Great crew for a great sport.
I visualized Faruq staying up nights to come up with his rhymes. Good work, script team.
Awww I'm disappointed. I thought he came up with them on his own 🙁
Very cool. I was wondering where Faruq's lines came from. After sitting through several of his retakes I'm surprised all y'all are still in his good graces (or maybe you're not, hmmmmm?) 😜😜
I almost Always hit the mute button for the introductory poems.
Watching the tournament right now . You guys rock!
I enjoy Tantrum’s introductions
Mark Biro as announcer was a legend, too! =D
Yes! Finally! My son can stop hearing me ask every episode: “I wonder who writes for Faruq. So many jokes only people of a certain age will get and really LOL!” Mystery solved. 😆
My favorite part!
Was wondering who came up with Faruq’s witty remarks.
Knowing that kind of takes half the fun out of it
They need to source dad's in this group for help. They are terrible!
Yeah, that's what you want in a serious sport - more scripted stuff. Goofy prewritten speeches are what brought all that respect to pro wrestling.
His rhymes are annoying just quick intros please
😜 “Fee Fi Fo Fum”🤭 Let Faruq tell us the top 3 HE likes the most
“B is for BattleBots,” the new book by Andrea from team Witch Doctor is out and on sale here: www.battlebotsstore.com/BOTS-BISFORBATTLEBOTS
I ordered one for my Battlebots crazy 7 years old. He will love it!!!!
Ordered! Battlebots is a family favorite!!
Just ordered for Christmas
Order has been placed.
My thoughts on the words for X and Z are still lingering
I got my "B is for battle bots" yesterday. I think this book is great. Very inform as time for those kids just learning or grandparents. Great job
This is amazing! My 5 year old son is obsessed with battle bots. This book will be perfect for him! I just purchased and can’t wait for him to open it on Christmas. Thank you for making it! Here is hoping to find some meet and greets this year and maybe get some signatures🤞
I ordered 4 yesterday! They’ll make great Christmas presents for my kids & my nieces & nephews. Ok, so maybe they’re more for my husband & his siblings who are lifelong fans 😀
Just ordered two for the kids this Christmas. Andrea, your team rocks!
Congratulations on your book, Andrea. 🤙
26$ for the book Canadian is fine. But $22 for the lowest priced shipping is way too high. 😥 to use as a comparison a similar sized book from barnes and noble is $7 to ship to Winnipeg. I hope they come out with a kindle version to help support their program.
My 5 year old son will love this! Bought one today 🙂
I would've loved that as a child.
Loved going around with my boys to get the teams to sign ours🙂
Nice!!

Crew Shout outs: Today we honor Peter Abrahamson, AKA “The Bot Whisperer.“ Peter has been building and fighting robots since 1994, and has a depth of knowledge of robot fighting sports that is unprecedented. Pete is part of the selection committee, and brings Chris & Kenny up-to-speed on all the robots/individual matchups. Thank you Pete!
And he gives the best hugs.
Thank you for helping make a great show
Way to make things happen! 🖤💜💚💀
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. We have seen the “Bot Whisperer” in the credits and wondered what all he did!
One of the nicest guys in the sport!
You very good job!

I need this for my daughter. NEED. IT!
My son will love this! We are constantly rewatching this season, he even talked one of his Kindergarten teachers into watching too! He’s asked to take his mini bots to school for show and tell almost every week
Great idea! We're getting one
Can't wait my grandkids will love it
This is great!👍
10 nerd points if anyone can guess Q, X and Z. 😉

Shout out Saturday: Today we honor our awesome camera and audio crews. If you like the way BattleBots looks and sounds please thanks these folks!
I don't *like* the look and sound of #BattleBots ... I LOVE it! It's one of the best produced live-event shows on television. Congratulations and a big shout-out to the camera and audio crews. Without YOU, the show wouldn't be as awesome as it is. Cannot wait for next season!
The whole production, front to back is awsome. Way way way better than that other bot show from across the pond.
Incredible work! Keeping up with that action can not be an easy job. Thanks for making #BattleBots a thrill to watch. Your crew ROCKS!
Awesome work, crew! The fights are a joy to watch in person, and spectacular to watch on TV. Well done!
Thanks everyone you do a great job
Excellent job making it feel like BattleBots is right in my living room! 💀💚💜🖤
Here’s looking at y’all! Thanks much!
They did a fantastic job. I never felt like they missed anything important
Thank you!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes thank them indeed. Give a special thank you to any cameraman that gets the shots of bots flying right at them without flinching. Also special thanks to the production for showing tantrums hand stuck in the wall. That could've been ignored, but my favorite part of that post season was that happening.
Thanks, ya'll!
🗣️🎙️🔊 "THANK YOUUUU!!" (ultimate show but because of ALL that run it ⚡💨🏁)
Thanks guys & gals!!!
Awesome
Can someone please tell me why they never finished it this year. I keep checking and the last episode was the round of 8 nothing after that.
thank you
Barnum and Bailey?.?. Nah *Smh* BattleBots, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!!! Thanks to you guys and gals. 👏🤓🤗
When does the new season start?
Hats off to them.
Thanks for all😊😊
