Sucks that Hyneman isn't going to be involved though.

So I heard about this on the GCT thread, and I was a bit skeptical.

...I really don't feel like re-stating what I've already said, so since I doubt most of you even go to the chatterbox I'll just paste in a quote of what I had to say:

Battlebots coming to abc.http://deadline.com/2015/02/battlebots-revival-reality-series-abc-summer-1201367663/
I'm not feeling too good about this. It immediately brings to mind that Discovery special which, in typical Discovery network fashion, was 90% reality TV, story-time bullsh*t and only 10% actual robot combat (with said combat footage consisting only of a random mish-mash of short clips from the fight).

Aside from it being labeled as a "reality" show (which is usually an ill omen in and of itself), this particular quote seems to affirm my suspicions:
Quote
The show also will have a greater emphasis on the design and build elements of each robot, the bot builder backstories, their intense pursuit of the championship and the spectacle of the event.

Perhaps it being aired on ABC as opposed to Discovery will spare it from the same "reality TV" treatment that the Discovery special got, but I'm not holding out hope for this show. At least that way, if it does somehow turn out to be good, I can be pleasantly surprised.

I think one is a maybe, but they probably are required to be silent on the matter (they had to do that when it originally aired, same with robotica).

Badnik96 · « **Reply #76 on:** March 20, 2015, 10:57:14 PM »

I'm about 75% sure on Inertia Labs and Team Hurtz.
