Yeah can't you watch it on the ABC site?

Country restrictions yo

But, could someone do a favor and record the stream? maybe have it on Dailymotion since I know 90% of the shows I watch can be found there without being worried of taken down.

I've tried every proxy or browser extension I could find, ABCs website blocks them all. It's quite impressive actually.

Or try using Mozilla Firefox and Hola!. I know that some chrome extensions just don't work, MF has been much more reliable for me with that sort of thing.

So Overhaul has cam shuffling, interesting. By any chance, was Zipdragon64 involved? I don't know his real life name but he's made a few shuffles over the years.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Nope, Overhaul was built by a team from MIT.  They were at Motorama this year with a very cool 30-lb shuffler.

Hm. I thought they had swapped out the cams for wheels. I guess we'll see which one they use when they get on TV.

Certainly interested by HyperShock. That one should be cool to watch.

There was a minor argument on the subreddit hours ago. Fun fun fun.

Glad to see Zac in the video!

I apologize for the lack of interaction here. Been sick this past week and have been trying to finish up the BattleBots Update website. The coming soon page has been taken down, and the main site is now online: www.battlebotsupdate.com

I anticipate having articles up on Mondays or Tuesdays for season six. Since legacy episodes of the show are now readily available on YouTube in decent quality, I do intend to go back and properly write an article for the previous seasons. The "Forum" link directs traffic to GTM, specifically the Real Robotics Discussion forum. I hope that's okay. (I do not have the capacity to manage a forum anymore these days, but wanted to use any incoming traffic I get to at least do SOME good for someone.)

The site is about 90% with most of the missing stuff being back-end things like SEO and whatnot. Otherwise the website is navigable, though currently there is understandably no content... :P
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
