A Light Heavyweight Witch Doctor or Category 5 would be badass.

Hardcore Robotics
Inertia Labs
Team Hurz [?]
Team LOGICOM [?]
Busted Nuts Robotics [?]
Team Storm [Application]

Storm sent their application announcement on Febuary 16. Maybe thats why they dropped out of Robogames?

It's possible, and I don't think Busted Nuts Robotics will be at Robogames either.

here's beta at a live event sometime recently:

Has Beta ever fought? I know they didn't work in the final tv season of Battlebots but I haven't heard about them appearing after that.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #86 on:** March 23, 2015, 12:46:30 PM »

I believe that was the first match it had actually done. No clue though, perhaps someone from Britain can chip in.

From the looks of it, thats monty (not sure about name) on the top left and merlin on the bottom left so i guess thats robots live

I believe what happened was the magnets on the bottom of the robot wouldn't allow it to move enough. Could be wrong though.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #89 on:** March 23, 2015, 04:19:48 PM »

I know that much, but I don't know if it's fought between then and now.

In the Battlebots arena, the metal panels weren't bolted down, just held in place by gravity. So when Beta fired its axe, it yanked the panel right out. Consequentially, they weren't allowed to use the magnet, so they forfeited their first match. It was such a good looking robot, and apparently its hammer was a lot more powerful than The Judge, so I was quite remiss when i couldn't find any fights of it.

Speaking of the Arena, do we have any insight on the arena, or stuff like that?

cephalopod · « **Reply #92 on:** March 25, 2015, 05:45:28 AM »

I don't believe it has fought, not sure it even did at Robots Live but I wasn't there so don't take that one as definite truth.

Here's a big update: they're filming next month for the series. There will be a total of 5 tapings- Afternoon/Evening on 5/21, Afternoon/Evening on 5/22, and All Day on 5/23. If you want to go, here's the link to the selling page for the tickets:

This time for real! I'm excited by the fact that they used Warhead as the promotional picture, and hoping that that actually means the robot is coming back.

Best wait and see. Heh

Badnik96 · « **Reply #96 on:** April 23, 2015, 09:17:31 AM »

I've heard some things about Warhead possibly coming back. Dunno if they're just rumors or not. Excited for June when it airs.

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #97 on:** April 23, 2015, 09:27:40 AM »

My reasoning was that Warhead in that picture appears to have some fringey spikes that weren't on the version that competed in 2003.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #98 on:** April 23, 2015, 09:38:48 AM »

Nah that's an old picture. I even have a copy of said picture that was printed in the old BattleBots magazine.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #99 on:** April 23, 2015, 11:52:55 AM »

They have been posting updates on the battlebots Facebook page.
