Is that Bronco with HyperShock?
Jealous
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Watched every Friday night this past summer with my 4 year old. Please tell me BattleBots will be back this year!
Robert Joseph Crawford guess what’s on the agenda for this Eve!
Literally the whole fight: Basilisk: *exist* Chomp: *lose*
Chomp needs to focus on the human element, and remove all of the tech. #wewantseason4
#Wewantseason4
Photo is real!! See it in the new Battlebot calendar 2019 photographer - Daniel L.
Basilisk won that fight by showing up.
Why wasn't Valkyrie vs Overhaul aired? That was a great fight. Ultimo Destructo proved why only fights it lost was aired when the fights it won was boring cause Valkyrie and Parallax didn't even work properly. Also, I doubt Basilisk could beat a stable bot.
Hope to see another competition being broadcast in 2019!!!!
It we're rubbish fights
Season 4 yet lol
You had me at flying chomp chomping on basilisk
Sweet!!!
🎄 Feliz prospero año nuevo a toda la familia 🎃
Unfortunately Chomp just got its ass kicked
Now this is something to smile about! Thanks everyone at Battlebots and hope there will be even more to smile about this year.
Loving this picture you used, a perfect shot!
Was Chomp-Kraken originally going to be Raven’s fight if it got going?
Can't wait to see!
Yessssssss I'm so pumped!
Sorry, we send you a big hug, happy 2019 !!!
Wow! I was expecting week by week not all at once! What a new years treat!

Battlebots <3
Tyler I could see becoming a force to be feared even more so than now. Amazing driver. I love the comradery of Bugglebots. Good to see such good sportsmanship.
😉😉👑 super action
The bugs are great, but it’s main event time. #wewantseason4
DUCK! vs. Gigabyte just went live for BattleBots supporters. If you'd like to become a BattleBots supporter and get access to exclusive/early footage and other special content, click here:

FYI Hannah is driving during this match.
People should chill and just be grateful we have Battlebots back
Duck got cheated.
Lame Duck!!!! No weapon, no offense.
When is season4?
We love Gigabyte! He came to our classroom!
$5/mth to support a for-profit business? Really?
Whiteboard fight?
You do know how to get me battlebots fine take my money.
It sucks to watch a fight that u already know who won
Kenny said it best in ICEWave vs Skorpios: "At the end of the day, it's a fight. If you're breaking my arm, my leg, my face, you're winning. Doesn't matter what else happens." If Duck! deals out some big hits, that should count in its favor, even if it technically doesn't have a weapon.
DUCK is the real GOAT
so much better than FAKE tv shows and movies..
Kevin Ross
I miss you Lisa
Great idea
this is so much better than fake tv shows and movies..
Some nice hits from Gigabyte, but like a lot of full-body spinners, too much impact means a dead bot.
Awesome fight. #wewantseason4
If I become a supporter now, will I have access to the Kraken and Chomp fight as well?
Caption this…
Finally, a place that won't judge me for being topless.
no need to worry about the lipo fire if your driving in the sand bucket ;)
Hypershock dissapointed as world's largest zen garden does not come with rake
IT'S ROBOT RELAXIN TIME!
"I knew I should have made that left turn at Albuquerque"
"We were told to comb the desert, so we're combing it!"
This brings a whole new meaning to sex on the beach.
If this bot were a handsome beach bod, it would be Dwayne “The Bot” Johnson. Welcome to the jungle of box hazards, it’s HYPERSHOCK!
At least if he breaks down here he can blame the sand
Can't tan the other side, I'll get stuck.
🎵Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...🎵
They didn't tell me i need the sand paddles on...
Its robot fighting time! Let the beach bash begin!!!
Hypershock driving down the beach with its forks flapping around... "...I'lllll be ready Never you fear No don't you feaaaar...."
A great Day on The Beach!!!,.. need that Rake !!!
This doesn't look like Mars...oops
I'm about to mess up some tans
Nibbling on sponge cake, watching the sun bake...all of those tourists covered in oil...#hypershock #margaritaville #battlebots
That’s the son of a bot that destroyed my sand castle!!!!
Something from Maximum Overdrive?
I've got sand in my blade.
This be a cool new arena.
MUST...KILL...HUMANS...FOR MAKING ME FIGHT!!!
Hyper shock attempting Blake Bortles training routine before the 2018 season, both had similar results
We're gonna need a bigger boat
The Bot Bash Charity Brawl was a great success! See the update from Bot Bash below!
Nice work all! Thanks to those that donated and all who tuned in!From all of us at Bot Bash Party, we would like to thank the drivers who came out and participated in the Charity Brawl, to the viewers for watching the stream last night. Especially to everyone who donated! Thank you also to Tasbot, the Tasbot Crew and BattleBots for making this happen!
I was told by the Marines, they will be buying toys with the money we raised on Friday! They will be delivering them to families in need and will arrive before Christmas!
This has been a hard year for Toys 4 Tots. Toys R Us closing has hit them hard. Toys "R" Us has the largest donor to toys for tots. Any money they receive in the next week will go to fulfilling a toy request for a family in need.
Sgt. Morrison told me, last night, he only has 2 more weeks, stateside, before he's shipped out. He wants to spend his time working for the charity and delivering toys. But they have more requests than donations.
Even if you missed our fundraiser, it's not too late to donate! This is an amazing charity that brings happiness to children, in a time when they need it most!

Thank you for your service

They are a little delayed, but hang in there - the feed will be up soon
Yeah, some other people need to cough up some monetary donations. I'm not a rich man, but I'm half the $ so far. :-( There is A LOT of insane prizes that have been donated by teams in exchange for people's monetary donations, including used pieces of Team Huge - Battlebots, Stinger The Killer Bee, and Team Blue and Black/Duck, a 3D printed Whiplash - BattleBot that is the size of the Hexbug bots, and other great gear!
Bots For Tots
[Spray paints "Sgt." over BOT] You see what I did there?
Missed it! Will they have the full tourney uploaded??
"Mini-Huge" is the best oxymoron
I laughed so hard every time the commentators said "the bots are being loaded into the arena" when really it was gently placing the tiny robots onto the arena floor with one hand.
This is awesome.
How cool is that

Just give it the nut. No need for another season
I like this far more than I probably should. "Why settle for fighting the unstoppable force vs the immovable object when you could just strap the immovable object to the unstoppable force?"
That’s just awesome 😁
Well, at least duck will be able to inflict some damage now. 😉
Forget nukes, THIS is the deadliest weapon ever devised by man. Let us all hope it is never used for evil.
Ugh, look at that thing. How fowl!.!.
The escalation will be Tombstone with another smaller Tombstone as its weapon, and *that* Tombstone will have another smaller Tombstone as *its* weapon, and etc. all the way down. Recursive Tombstone.
The battlebox wouldn't survive such a thing..
My god... What has she done? It will destroy everything and we will be lucky to live through it.
That's cool and all but will there be a 2019 season?
The destruction that thing would cause is borderline unfathomable
My new weapon is protection for his wheels!
Unfortunately, that's the only way Duck would ever be able to inflict damage on another bot :P
Zeeshawn Marshall check it dude.. UNSTOPPABLE. 😂
Tombstone + Duck....huh...yknow tbh id love to see a tag team season with teams having to build a bot TOGETHER and face other tag teams.
Now I want to draw the inverse, Duck with a small Tombstone in place of the beak.
The opposition better duck out
Let's do Gabriel v Tombstone. Now that's TV 😇
You better Duck or you’ll be graved with a Tombstone
All hail DuckStone!
If they do tag team next season Tombstone-Duck team would be unstoppable.
Why hasn't anyone photoshopped an actual duck there yet? I'm disappointed.
RELEASE THE DUCK
I have a design that is unbeatable
#supporters
Hello BattleBots supporters,
Apologies up front, we won’t be able to post a new Basement video today, but we will get you a new one tomorrow.
Also, at a recent meeting of the BattleBots selection committee we spoke of many exciting perks we could give supporters before and during the 2019 season. Stay tuned for details.
For everyone wondering what the The Selection Committee looks like, here is a picture I managed to capture while they discussed the 2019 season.
THE SELECTION COMMITTEE
As someone interested in The Bot Games, priority registration/first dibs would be a great perk.
#WeWantSeason4
We want season 4 lol
#wewantseason4!!!!!!!
You can stop teasing us. Give us TOMBSTONE. Enough said
Can we get a way to watch it in the UK without having to resort to piracy? (yarrrr!)
😆😆
Can't wait for next season
Give Dan 50k to build the perfect Wrecks
I'm very excited at the prospect of a new top dog flipper from the Ewarts in Hydra!
#WeWantSeason4 #WeWantNellyandMammoth
Yes!!! I'll be buying my tickets the second they're available lol
Hoping that something is done to how the judges score fights. Personally, I think that aggression should be "split" into 2 "categories" - one for attacks landed by the primary weapon [i.e. the way it's currently calculated], and the other for how often a robot takes the fight to it's opponent(s) [How aggression is/was calculated in Robot Wars]. Then, Robots like DUCK! and such will be less likely to get snubbed by controversial decisions. #JusticeForDUCK BattleBots, it's not as if this is extremely far-fetched. #WeWantSeason4 #RainDownThePainAgain
Can’t wait! Looking forward to more Robo destruction.
when is this coming on tv ?
