I still got all screaming and freaked out when I saw it. Finally starting to feel real. I'm jaded after the last Battlebots show failed to materialize.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Anyone knows who the Hosts and/or Commentators for the event are? I think who they picked for the Judging is pretty awesome.

The BattleBots Website has been updated, with a new picture inside the Battlebox:


I think the hellraisers are back if you look closely.
