Does anyone recognize the basic wedge fighting Warhead, and the Chambered Wheeled Wedge fighting Chomp?

Also, Plan X is Lisa Winter's bot. Its a crusher.

Was/When was Plan X in the video?

Dont know when, but I think it was the one charging BRONCO in the early goings of the trailer.

It looks a lot like overhaul. In fact, theres a ton of crushers/Clampers at this thing.

Overhaul
Plan X
Chomp
Complete Control
Bite Force
Mohawk
Razorback (?)

Overhaul is more like Complete Control than your traditional "crusher," I don't personally count it.

Cool, and I think you mean charging Icewave haha. They show Bronco but the cut is to a spinner with the motor over the blade so... it's Icewave haha.

No, Razorback is the one fighting Icewave.

I'm guessing that "Chronic" is just a renamed Kronic, to go with their other bot "Weed".

No way! :P
You might be playing catchup it seems, there's a big list of competitors and their details around somewhere. Chronic is a completely new build but a similar design to Kronic.

From watching the previews, here all the bots I could see that have flamethrowers...

Witch Doctor
Stinger The Killer Bee
Nightmare or Warrior SKF
CHOMP
Overhaul or Donald Hudson

It's like they had a box of them in the pits with a sign that said "please take one."

Cambered Wheeled Wedge fighting Chomp?

That appears to be the CoolRobots entry. They've just made a FB page.

A bunch of pictures have surfaced on the BB website:

Couple of new things here. We now know that Shrederator has been painted to look like The Revolutionist, and that that overhead spinner is now definitely Icewave.

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #392 on:** June 10, 2015, 03:50:06 PM »

I love how the focus is on the robots. I'm hoping we can get at least one robot fight between each set of commercials.

Natef · « **Reply #393 on:** June 10, 2015, 04:37:39 PM »

Battlebots.com? I can't seem to find them.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #394 on:** June 10, 2015, 04:45:55 PM »

Someone on the wiki found them in the files index or something.

The robot that Warhead is fighting in the promos is Bite Force.

There was a glimpse of Bigger Brother in the preview, which I'm very happy about. Hopefully next we'll get to see Radioactive.

Wait there was? When?

I could be mistaken, but there was, for half a second, what appeared to be, a brown robot with a strange angular shape, getting shoved against the barrier. I'll get a screenshot when I get home.

I think that was Chomp. I thought Bigger Brother was going to be Little Sister in BattleBots.

Poll

Who do you think will win the Giant Nut?
