Pit reporter confirmed? Glad they're getting someone technically-minded and not just a pair of breasts with legs like Carmen Electra.

Anyone else see what seems to be a Team Diablo creation in the way back, upper right? May just be me hoping he's come back, but it certainly looks like it.

I love how radioactive looks. The weird shape the bot on the crate was makes sense now

According to my contact on the Inertia Labs team, the situation with how many tournament entries has been confusing. The scene is a lot of Sleeping and people working maniacally on their bots. They feel pretty good about their 1st match though.

June 21st cant come soon enough..

Picture of the new nightmare are up on the Battlebots twitter account. Looks impressive.

Where are you seeing them? Can't find them myself.

EDIT: Never mind, they're not on the BattleBots twitter but you can find it if you search BattleBots and filter by images.
All I can say is I did not expect that.

Looking good with the wheelguards and such. Loving the modifications to the weapon as well.

Dang, nightmare got that Miley Cyrus level makeover.

Anyone can tell who the yellow wedge to the right is?

I'm pretty sure that's just a floor marking. There's a foldable chair on top of it making it look like framework :P

New Nightmare makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. Hoping they at least paint the wheelguards black, looks a bit off.

But I don't care if they don't. My favorite spinner is back in business and I can't wait to see it back in the octagon.

Very impressive, he's addressed the shortfalls of the old version while still preserving the visual elements that made it famous.

The disc especially is a damn work of art.

Picture of something with hazard stripes on it. The Behemoth team entry?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #295 on:** May 21, 2015, 12:12:11 PM »

No, the Behemoth entry looks different. Those don't look like hazard stripes to me, i think they're blue and yellow.

Wonder what robot that is...

Somebody · « **Reply #296 on:** May 21, 2015, 01:30:12 PM »

Do we have a picture of the Behemoth entry?

Edit: found it on the wiki page

It looks vaguely like that cardboard prototype that Lisa Winter posted. Could be her bot.

According to both Twitter and Instagram, Leland Melvin, Fon Davis and Jessica Chobot are judges.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #299 on:** May 22, 2015, 08:05:23 AM »

Deleted the posts about the video Qwerty posted. Probably shouldn't post spoilers even if they are publicly posted.

Poll

Who do you think will win the Giant Nut?
