Would love to go but even though we’re vaccinated this Delta variant is just too scary. We will plan on next year, hopefully by then we are through with all of this.

I’m trying to buy tickets, but the everbrite page is asking for a password

Definitely interested. Hopefully I can score some tickets

The Horseman is still missing 😢 Any signal boost available at BB2021 would be amazing. Please help us continue to keep eyes peeled!

(sigh) maybe next year

Awesome! How soon do we need to be at the venue before a recording session starts?

Anyone know how many bots are competing this year? Would love to see 70 - 75.

Cool!

Where can I see a list of the 2021 battlebots competitors???

Chuck Waugh

David Whitehurst!

It’s on? Right now

Brad Bateman

Loovee

Will it be televised or recorded?

BattleBots is there a certain time that the tickets go live?

Nick Jansen, just in case you wanna get tickets!

Will this be televised or show at a later date?

What time of day do they go on sale?

Will it be on TV?

I want to go to that so much

Timothy Scherer Jen Whitney Tom Hernandez We can go to Vegas and watch Battlebots!

Megan Johnson! How much fun would this be!

Omg 😳 hey 👋

Thank you! It’ll be my ONLY reason to venture to Vegas! 💪

Kevin Molnar

J. Russell Thomman …

Thank you for using good, common sense restrictions. We would not even consider coming without them.

Bianca Freimark

When?

VIVA BOT VEGAS!

Chad Clifford 😁

Wooo cant wait to see the fights if my youtuber still airs the fights like they did last season xD

I would like to see Biteforce vs End Game at the start of the season (The undefeated vs the champion)

Yes season 6 is go!

Pity the border between Canada and USA is still closed. Good luck with the event to all.

Kyle Brehe

Kimberly Bartlett

Jada!

if I need the deathshot to get in screw your robot fighting bullshit

Boo. I loved the old Lakewood hour-from-my- house location. Don't think I can stomach a drive to NV. 😞

And like that, I'm looking for flights to Vegas

After my initial comment failed, I will simply copy the entire document. Horizontal Spinners: You know Tombstone’s weakness right? It is your weakness too. You should be looking to spin up fast, and not break in the process. That should be the first thing you learn at Horizontal Academy. Vertical Spinners: It is not only the ground clearance of your bot, it is also the design of your weapon. If your weapon is like Endgame, or BiteForce, or Uppercut, you need to connect with your weapon. If it is like Jackpot, Copperhead, or Witch Doctor, you can take out the forks of your opponent. Keep that in mind. Clusterbots: There are 5 unspoken rules that need to be followed in order for a Clusterbot to work. It does work, Gemini is wrong if they believe it doesn’t, but it does require these unspoken rules to be adhered to. The 5 rules are: No Horizontal Spinners: Newton’s law” For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” is a cluster bots worst enemy. If you enter a weapon on weapon collision, you will lose. It will suck, and you will get yeeted into the glass wall in front of the judges. Vertical Spinners do work, because they use the floor as counterforce. But pretending that Horizontals on a clusterbot doesn’t exist isn’t an unrealistic extreme. Build with defense in mind: If your robots don’t make DUCK! look weak, you're doing it wrong. Now you might be asking “ How much punishment might I need to take to be a contender?” Uppercut vs Gemini, Cobalt vs DUCK!, or Hydra vs Witch Doctor are actually realistic examples of what you need to deal with. If you build a set of cluster bots that can be thrown into the lighting grid and bounce back like it’s no big deal, then you are doing it right. No more than 2 robots: You are already at a weight disadvantage with 2 robots. 3+ are just going to cripple you. If you build 3 or more, know that you are simply screwing you over. Nothing experimental: I will just leave it at this. Experimental bots only work if they are heavy, and cluster bots only work if they are simple. Choose one, not both. Work as a team: Teamwork makes Dreamwork in this sport. If you work as a team, you exploit a cluster bot team’s greatest advantage of overwhelming numbers. Keep it as a 2 on 1, not a 1 on 1. Bonus rule: Here are some types of robots that do and don’t work. Flippers should work for the same reason as verticals. Hammers probably won’t because they rarely work with a 250 pd robot. Others are a MAYBE. Flippers: Be relentless: Your opponent can’t fight if they are being used as a pancake. If you are holding back, you play the risk of your opponent taking the advantage, and not letting you take it back. Make sure they don’t get the option. Hammers: Don’t be afraid to put a lot of force in your weapon. If you are worried that you will flip yourself over, if you can’t do that, it doesn’t hit hard enough. Forget about avoiding that, try to embrace it. If it has the force to lift a 250 pd robot off the floor, it can probably break 20 pounds of armor. Sawblades: have multiple weapons, like Jamison Go, so you can adapt on the fly. If your opponent has thick top armor, smash through it. If they don’t, slice through it. Have multiple weapons so one armor type doesn’t counter your entire kit. Flamethrowers: Make sure your weapon is concentrated enough. Your weapon needs just enough heat in one spot to cause any kind of damage. If you want to disable a drive motor, all your heat has to be right there on that motor. Also, don’t burn yourself out. Full Body Spinners: Make reliability king with your robots. Your robot will be taking upwards of 16000 pounds of force on average( yes, I have done the math.) If your robot isn’t reliable, it will kill itself, that is it.

Now that the season is officially confirmed, how many bots will there be this season? How many countries are being represented this season? Is Bounty Hunters returning and if so which 6 legends will have bounties on their heads? Is the Desperado Tournament returning?

It's been 5 years of trying to get out to attend filming and this looks like the year I can make it! The dates kinda cut it close with time off/finances but I think I can do it 4 sessions should give me a decent chance of seeing Tombstone fight, I hope!

Season 6 is now officially greenlit!

This just made my day,any info on some of the international teams? Like Minotaur,Cobalt,Orion,Deathroll,End Game,Quantum cause I really wanna see some of the epic international bots we missed especially one of my absolute favs Cobalt

If you guys are filming earlier in the year, can we hope for the season to be out earlier?

Wish I could afford the trip

That was a good match. Mammoth certainly got the win here. For the 1st half it used its primary weapon to push Deadlift back

Unconventional configuration. I like watching these.

Having the announcers' commentary makes watching these unaired fights so much more interesting.

They really need to get Anthony Mackie to do the announcing. Plus most of the Bot's names don't even make sense.

looks like deadlifts esc's kept resetting

Just announce the fighters and shut up already

Love this show

Seems like transmitter issues for deadlift. That or they didn’t have a clue how to drive.

Not a fight to get real excited about, there was a reason it wasn't aired.

If they didn't spend so much time yapping and/or telling about the teams (especially when have heard before) they could show more competitions.

And the reason it was unaired....boring!

There's a reason it was unaired

Rusty needs his own show.

Pretty dynamic fight for being an awkward match up that didnt get aired

I want to weld for one of these teams!!

Still think it is funny that Chomp won the design award for being the most over engineered bot that still didn't really work that well

they should have the bot drivers/teams commentate over these, they're pretty much un-watchable, even for the biggest fan. it'd be neat to have the teams say what's happening, or what went wrong.

The newly designed Chomp was a cool, new idea.... different in the world of fighting robots, but as a fighting robot.. it sucked. I didn't like the original design for chomp a whole lot... but this 2x heavier walking robot design needs to just be tossed out / ripped up and Chomp needs to go back to the drawing board for next season.

Like watching a tugboat reposition a giant cruise ship.

International viewers are so lucky.... NOT!

DON'T WATCH THIS!!! Unless you have 3:00 minutes of absolutely nothing to do. It makes doing nothing sound exciting. Nothing happens, period. It wasn't aired for a reason and doesn't even deserve viewing on here.

think it shoulda stayed unaired

I don't believe I've ever seen a slow-motion bot battle before. Very unfortunate "battle", but still entertaining in its own way......I guess.

Yea, hardest fight I’ve ever had to watch… ever. I had it on my “Watch Later” list for weeks before I finally got the stomach to watch it…. And it was even worse than I thought.

I can see why they didn't air it 😒

I've been watching these things for a long time, saw Robot Wars #2 live in San Francisco, and this is the very least dynamic bout EVER!!! AND THE CROWD WENT silent.

The title of this episode should be "how to get international viewers to watch something other than BattleBots".

I can see why this didn’t air. Reminiscent of the push bot era.

I would rather watch an icecube melt.

They both should have been disqualified for such a pathetically boring performance.

I can’t believe that little bot was able to move that massive and probably heavy chomp

Man, Chomp's put on a bit of weight during the Pandemic. He wears it well though.

Chomp was the best example ever of why you do not design something well your partner is pregnant!

Wow, that is weird without the fake crowd noise pumped in!

Did I miss the fight? Thank you for not airing that.

When the FedEx robot Ad was more interesting than the video itself....

As exciting as watching paint dry

This is making that Hydra vs Huge match look really good tho…

Um. Thanks for editing this one out.

Chomp is the worst robot in the history of BattleBots.
