I really do hope the next season comes to TV soon. I miss it
I miss the tv version, it’s just not the same anymore lost all joy to me plus uTube has crap video quality and bad audio
The audience got this one wrong. I won't give it away but the audience got it wrong.
The audience was wrong they were robbed of that washer.
Love me some Mad Catter and the community college crew
You guys need to get back on TV the only reason I still have a discovery+ subscription
I just want to say a big thank you for taking the feedback from the fans to heart and including the full fights, although we did lose some of the behind the scenes with the teams working on the bots and damage reports this episode was alot of fun and i personally enjoyed that editing of this one alot more that the last faceoff.
Great episode that, loves roundhous V calypso.
Was still great to watch despite the power differences between The top and bottom 2 lol
Still feel like you could probably get fan commentators for free to do a better job here.
Congrats Skorpios - BattleBot
This guy is insanity

Skorpios was made to kill horizontal spinners, but I think that Mad Catter has a good chance of taking the overall win.
my money is on mad catter
Bring it back to the Discovery Channel. Then bring us the episodes we have missed 
Would you like a novel that features the building of robots such as can be seen in "Battlebots"? Then buy and read "The boy who loved robots" (available from both Amazon and Barnes ands Noble) and " and then recommend it to your frirends.
Launching the YouTube app on my TV is just as easy as the other apps...
Put it back on TV!!
It would be nice to have a similar format when it was on discovery. I loved having the bot builders talk strategies leading up to the fight. The bots being introduced, and building up the excitement. Now it’s just video clips of the fights. I hope they find a TV channel to pick it up, or find a way to improve it on YouTube. I always thought BB fits perfectly for Curiosity Channel. Anyway good luck, keep going and evolving.
Did they say when the show coming back on discovery channel
I miss Chris, Kenny, and Faruq...it's just not the same without them boys! 
Hope skorpios does well
Please show more battles, and less buildup and fluff
UTube, fvck that, bring them back to TV
I've not watched yet. Do the actual builders appear, or are they substitutes like in Las Vegas shows.
Are you planning to go back to televised content at any point?
Is the show available on Discovery+ ?
Yes! Can’t wait! What time of the day is it planned to be released?
It’s back!!!
LET’S GO!!!!!!!!!
We'll be watching!
Who do we need to write to to bring the show back to tv?
The wait is still going on.....
I love Madcatter!
No tv deal this year???
You know what that means right BattleBots that's right. It's #Botdog time!
Skorpios warming up for his FaceOff episode…

Good idea! A lawnmower should be good practice for the two undercutters they're facing. 
Didn't everyone beat the s*** out of the lawnmower the last couple seasons that aired? 
It's unfortunate that this series ended; they really had something with the emcee announcers and crew not to mention the robot teams. All the current promoters really are able to do from this point is essentially re-live past events. I've been involved with advanced RC projects, amateur mechanics and machining for many years and while I was tempted to get involved (and certain friends kept prodding!) I don't believe I could stand losing! The series sure was fun to watch while it lasted.
Yeah, have yet to watch that. Definitely planning on tomorrow
On behalf of my severe grass pollen allergies, GO GET SOME, SKORPY!!
garbage. BattleBots has gone to hell.
More BattleBots FaceOffs are on the way.
We’re hard at work on BattleBots FaceOffs Episode 2, featuring four fierce bots:
• Madcatter (Bad Kitty)
• Skorpios - BattleBot
• Roundhouse (RoboGym Robotics - Roundhouse / Deadlift - BattleBot)
• Calypso (Horizon - Combat Robot)
We know you’re excited to see the next episode—and we’ll get it out to you as quickly as possible (we appreciate everyone’s patience). In the meantime, catch up on everything we’ve released so far—including the Tombstone vs. HyperS

Can't wait
Soon soon, or sometime this year soon?
I might be crazy for saying this but I wouldn’t really call Roundhouse and Calypso rookie bots. They both from experienced teams so this faceoffs heat will be amazing. Who ever wins will have not had an easy path to victory
Two of the most fun teams and two very interesting looking newcomers! Glad we’ve got a spate of new horizontal spinners breaking through. Looking forward to seeing the new and improved Skorpios!
Love my homies Skorpios, and of course Mad Catter (Bad Kitty)! Ever since I saw a FaceOff live, I really came to appreciate the concept of mixing & matching well-established teams with up-and-comers. Can’t wait to see this one!!!
Thank a for the update. Looking forward to it. Enjoyed the first batch and ready to see the rest.
I am all for supporting BattleBots it is one of the greatest shows and sports there is but it seems like they're taking an awful long time between episode 1 and 2.
Happy to wait! Thank you for putting it together!
Why can't you be on cable TV? Now I can't watch it without subscribing to yet another platform!
I like these face off matches they're really fun if this is all the BattleBots that we are getting I'm in for it
What date
Guys....I appreciate the post but there needs to be a post in YouTube about the timing of these episodes from. Will Bales to set our expectations. It's been a month between episodes and that is hurting Battlebots brand and legitimacy. Do they need help? I'm sure us superfans and professionals would be willing to help move faceoffs along.
"I am Calypso. And I thank you for playing Twisted Metal!"
I've always liked skorpios but I cannot lie in that its s7 performance wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I'm hoping they redeem themselves here
Super muy entretenido emocionante
Can’t wait
It there any word if you'll be back on TV again?
Hate this new format.
Is there any news about getting a contract with Discovery? Is there anything us fans can do to help?
Is Rotator now Roundhouse?? Looks like Rotator but not sure...
Let’s go Calypso!!! 
BattleBots how soon?

Loved seeing Will and Leanne face off! Two great teams!
2 great teams, 1 awesome fight. Congrats to both teams!!!
What time is episode 2 come out on YouTube?
Wasn’t Will building a flipper named Vertigo? Wonder when/if we will get to see it in action. Coming from him, sure it will be amazing.
Loved all the before and after interviews as well as the action. Tolerated the interrupting ads.
Good job
Great Fights!
Revenge is Sweet!
It’s here – the final chapter of the first BattleBots FaceOff is LIVE NOW!
Watch now: youtu.be/MZzdfkm_vns
The final fights. Four top-tier bots. One winner.
HyperShock
Tombstone - BattleBots
Valkyrie - BattleBot
Orbitron (AI-driven and built by The Hacksmith)
This Round Robin tournament has already delivered jaw-dropping hits, but today? It gets personal. With the Giant Washer on the line, it’s all or nothing—and not everyone makes it out in one piece.
Legends may fall.

And when will the next faceoffs episode come?
I'm sorry, this may be a stupid question.. are there only two episodes of BattleBots face Off? We are struggling to find more on YouTube
Hey BattleBots you know #BotDog is ready. 
Part 2 is a 10/10
Should def switch the title to make it easier to find face offs episodes part 1&2
Incredible ending! Thanks BattleBots!
Thanks BattleBots! Incredible!
Those fights were incredible, my jaw dropped a few times whilst watching this episode!
Boring.. If yall didn't charge $300na ticket, yall would still have crowds....
Damn was good. Thank you
So what does Orbitron's AI do? I've seen it fight a few times now and don't see it doing anything unusual. I DO like the double vert spinners, doubling the flywheel torque for each weapon.
Oh well.
TOMORROW – Part 2 of BattleBots FaceOffs Ep1 drops on YouTube!
Four bots entered the arena.
HyperShock
Tombstone - BattleBots
Valkyrie - BattleBot
Orbitron (powered by AI from The Hacksmith)
In this Round Robin showdown, every bot fights every other once. Six fights. One champion. One new piece of BattleBots hardware -- the Giant Washer.
We’ve already seen massive hits, wild moments, and behind-the-scenes grit in Part 1… but tomorrow the tournament wraps up.
Who will stand alone?

Let's gooo! Part 2 is looking like it's going to be a banger!
Enjoyed the first episode. Looking forward to the others, see who all is competing and who has made upgrades.
Thanks for putting this together Battle Bots for us to watch! Miss watching this on regular t.v.!
BattleBots I enjoyed last week's episode with more builder content and seeing the damage after some of the fights. It would be nice though to either have the full episode each week, or drop part 2 at the weekend so we're not waiting a week for just 2 fights. I think you're more likely to get good views and people coming back for future episodes if we get to see all the fights, that's what's implied in the video title as well.
Old man reaper can’t catch a break.
When is this going to be back on tv
I watched it and it's just not the same without Kenny and Chris doing the play by play. I probably won't watch it much.
I like the game. 
I miss Faruq!
Dennis Miller I think we need to build a bot. Lol
Super full version

Porque no hacen esto en Perú 
Pensé que era tomstone 
Porque no hacen una campal reúnen a todos los robots y el que quede al último gana
But could they beat Matilda?
We had robot wars here. This is that but on crack
They're not "bots" just radio controlled cars.
So sick of crybabies whining about Riptide. Many of the longterm contestants have also done some of the same things throughout the years. Then BattleBots tells contestants you can't stop attacking if competitors bot is still moving (even if it clear they don't have a chance). Then a new bot (Riptide) shows up and whips asses, and everyone cries....... boohoo babies

So just the same four bots compete each week?
Unfortunately a pretty lack-luster show. Sad, we can’t get the real show back on TV.
What time??
Miss the "old" format for Battle Bots. Just isn't the same at all !
Tried watching it. Nowhere as good as the tv series.
Part one was so disappointing I probably won't bother with the rest of the season. 4 matches and they did not even show the whole match, just the first minute and the finish. No judges, non existent crowd determines who won. Very hard to even watch.
Can't wait for Part 2 GO Hypershock !
4 fights thats all
Maybee my imagination but in the 01 episode it seemed like the fights timed out much faster?
They need more viewership and right now they need numbers. US! We need to spread the word and help grow the numbers. I 
BB and will do my part to help the cause. It's not full-on BB but I can be. They need US now more than ever. Let's Kick this shit.
Precio por el amarillo? 
Bring back BATTLE BOTS!!!!!!

Yo it’s actually crazy especially hypershock and orbitron
What happen?? This is trash now. Production looks like garbage. Sounds sucks, fake crowd tisk tisk
If Tomestone put a ball or something like ( ) that on the top and the bottom of the bot that should help keep the blade from hitting the the floor after an attack from behind or sides
I absolutely cn not figure out why Ray lets the guy drive tombstone. He is HORRIBLE at it.
No more Discovery Channel?
Episode 1 of BattleBots FaceOffs is LIVE NOW!
Four incredible bots enter the arena:
HyperShock
Hardcore Robotics
Valkyrie - BattleBot
Orbitron (powered by AI and built by our friends at The Hacksmith)
They’ll battle it out in a Round Robin tournament, where each bot fights every other bot once—six total fights. And at the end? The bot with the best record takes home the first-ever Giant Washer!

Beautiful work BattleBots. Love this format and the fights are great so far. Thank you so much for not giving up on this sport. I'll watch every episode and share them as they come. Cheers!
YES! Good episode, nice production quality. Love the extra put time with the teams.
This was an absolute delight. Thank you! Thank you to all the teams! Long live BattleBots!
I hope this works out for BattleBots because it's an AMAZING alternative to Discovery. It looks SO good and it's all we've been asking for
I love not having to deal with all the commercials that Discovery jammed into the broadcasts. Still miss Faruq, Chris and kenny, though. You can tell the team members are a little offput having to do their own little mic drop bits.
Great episode! Watching it was sooooo difficult. I had turn on my TV, press the YouTube app, and click on the episode......so much trouble.......
where's the full fight between Tombstone and Valkyrie? The video said to watch it on the Battleots youtube channel, but I don't see it there.
Okay, it is what it is. At least I got to see some bot battles and that is all I care. I just have to say Will Bales made a great decision turning over the reins to his wife. She is a driving beast. I would love to see her and Matt Vasquez in a head to head match in the future.
Great job, everyone! Miss you all and hope you had an absolute blast! 
No longer on regular TV????
I really enjoyed watching both BattleBots and Robot Wars before that. They were the inspiration for my writing “The Boy Who Loved Robots.” You may not have given this any thought but this book will help to keep alive the whole idea of fighting robots to a wider audience. Just look at the reviews on Goodreads and you will see it is not just teenagers who have been enjoying the book. Claire Rosemary Jane
Loved the episode just pure robot carnage all through out
I look forward to more
When are you going to be on regular TV? 
BattleBots you know #BotDog is ready for robot fighting time!
Absolutely incredible, thanks battlebots!
OMG. Epic fights.
Put back on Discovery channel!! Not happy with this only being on you tube... Or better yet at least do reruns on discovery...
the hubby and I are big fans. But only on you tube??? Come on
Just watched the episode. First and foremost, Absolutely LOVE battlebots, but...The production was ok, not what we're used to watching, the back stories of the bots and owners was totally different. Still, it's not the same.... Discovery needs to work with them to bring it up to what we're used to. It's just not the same without Kenny, Chris and Farouq. The Battle bot management wants to get a good contract with Discovery...All us fans need to put pressure on Discovery to work out a good deal!! To me, the "excitement" just wasn't there.
Cool. Can't wait to watch it
The family and I enjoyed it. Less fluff and more robot stuff without all the commercials. I would normally fast forward through all the commentary anyway. Keep it simple and pure.
Is the actual BattleBots coming back?
Did and so glad they're back!
Watching now. Awesome
It’s finally here… the premiere of BattleBots FaceOffs – Episode 1 (part 1)!
And we’re kicking things off with a Round Robin mini-tournament featuring FOUR iconic teams:
HyperShock
Hardcore Robotics
Valkyrie - BattleBot
Orbitron (The Hacksmith)
Every robot fights every other robot once—that’s 6 fights total across the two part episode!
Whoever comes out with the best record wins a brand-new piece of BattleBots hardware:
The Giant Washer
You’ll see the hits, the chaos… and we’ll take

What other way to start it off then with 3 Most Destructive winners along with a sick new rookie on Orbitron!
It's robot fightin' time!
Are Chris Rose and Kenny Florian still going to be play-by-play and color commentary?
what time will this air on March 27?
What time does it drop??
I am looking forward to seeing some robot fighting on YouTube!!!
Brandi Smith
I loved both Robot Wars and Battlebots. They were a big part of the inspiration as to why I wrote "The boy who loved robots" suitable for both teens and adults it would seem by the reviews on goodreads etc.. Claire Rosemary Jane
This is exciting!!!
Any one plz give me contact number
What time in eastern standard time
Very interesting it's airing not in the order it was filmed
Bring on the 2025 tournament
So is it just two fights per episode?
For all these upgrades every now & then, my personal favorite Tombstone had lost against Hypershock twice!
Regular YouTube or YouTube TV
Tombstone is back!!!!
It's an interesting observation that so many people are asking "When's it on TV?" For me, as a die hard fan, YouTube has been THE home robot combat for the past few years. Between NHRL, Bristol bot builders, and other events, Battlebots is a small blip on my radar these days.
You can watch YouTube on your phone. If you have a modern TV you can launch the YouTube app. If you have a game console you can find the app there too. You can also watch it on your computer. If you're that angry it's not on your giant TV you can screen cast to it. If that doesn't work you can hook up your computer to the TV via HDMI. If all those don't work I'm sorry it's 2025 and you really can't figure anything else out. Any low tier Internet plans can stream an episode of YouTube. Your phone can also hotspot Internet if you really need to. It's 2025 now.....sighhhh.
Tombstone is the best ever
I am also interested in robotics
Let’s go hyper shock!!
Where the hell is the link?
I am really looking forward to this!
Sorry but tombstone is past it, didn't wanna say that since I remember this dominant it was
The wait is almost over…

Episode 1 will feature HyperShock, Tombstone, Valkyrie, and AI newcomer Orbitron!
Too bad we can't watch it on TV. It was a family tradition that we miss. I really don't understand stand why we have to watch it on a computer now. Seems like a great way to lose fans.
I'm pretty sure all of us (I know I was) were completely out of pocket for these fights, so remember if you have to suffer through ads, like bears with strong TP preferences, or insurance companies that have weird mascot affixations, you're doing it because I didn't drive a 1988 school bus 1800+ miles through the mountains, and across the desert, to blow up a $1700 engine for nothing.
Yay more Battlebots in whichever format! I will admit I am going to miss Faruq's poetry and killer puns, but as long as the vicious robot action keeps going, I'm all cool!
Is there no season coming anymore ?
Whoop I'm not Gina watch I'm gona download it and save it so when more come out I can watch all together, it's boring watching old reruns over and over with no new season, come on you can even do it on YouTube
Gonna be great to see the new Rusty in action at last!
Will Kenny and Chris be a part of the new series?
Thank you! Can't wait for some new Battle Bots!
Can we buy tickets to see it live?
Will they be premiering weekly or will there be some time before the next one is aired
When the show is about advanced killer robots that use a large amount of engineering and programming, yet the viewers can't even figure out how to get YouTube to work on anything available today and still complain of "slow internet".
Fantastic! Pave your own destiny and be beholden to no network. I hope the episodes are long enough to make an evening out of. My household always looked forward to Thursday nights. It was as big as football for us.
They need to bring the series back to discovery+
I wanna see it on discovery plus
Hey Discovery, you dropped this:
Will there be announcers and commentators?
Watched the teaser fight and the editing was very slick considering the budget you're working with is probably less. I also didn't mind the ads, it's kinda cool seeing the bot builders getting to flex their acting chops
All the boomers: "put it back on real tv"
Super excited for this! No streaming service avaliable in my country has the previous seasons so I'm very happy that I will finally be able to watch BattleBots without having to deal with shady websites
I hope all the camera cuts aren’t as jumpy as they were in the Tombstone/Hypershock fight 
Thank goodness for YouTube. Hopefully, your 2 million-plus subscribers will tune in to make this a great success!
What happened to being on discovery
needs to go back on TV where it belongs
I know what the exclusive part is, it means you exclude those of us with impossibly slow internet. Yeah, VERY exclusive.
