They already have Tombstone. Other than legacy, I'm not sure what else MOE can offer.

Hmm, I don't think they'll bring back all 24 teams from last season.  Presumably they'd want to do more "meet the builders" segments and they'd be close to running out of people we haven't met yet.

Yes the Biohazard lad has reapplied and no not all of last seasons competitiors are returning. I know of a few who haven't made the cut this year so be prepared to be dissapointed!
Team Immersion - Vulture, Amnesia, Amnesia 2, Halcyon, Hysteria and many commissions!

For those of you not following on Facebook, teams have been given the green light to announce they've qualified.  Bigest news so far is the return of the Techno Destructo team with Ultimo Destructo

I believe in chinkilla.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

With teams arriving in California now and filming being next week, I figured I'd make a large post consisting of all the big news of the season.

-Witch Doctor now has a srimech
-Overhaul's Team JACD has split into four teams: Charles is taking over Overhaul, while the other three are competing with Brutus, Road Rash and SawBlaze.
-OverDrive is now a vertical spinner
-Chomp now has a hammer using parts from The Judge, plus it is now being driven autonomously
-Wrecks can self-right
-Nightmare supposedly also has a srimech
-Warhead has been rebuilt
-Tentomushi and Son of Whyachi are making long-awaited returns to the series, with the latter also having a flame-spitting drone
-Moebius is returning, but may be unable to compete due to UPS screwing them over
-MikeNCR and SKBT are both on teams for BattleBots this year: Mike with Bombshell, and SKBT with Mecha SubZero
-Techno Destructo is returning under the name Ultimo Destructo
-The team behind Atomic Wedgie is competing with HellaChopper
-Beta is there and should not have any issues competing this time
-Megabyte is competing under the name Invader
-Half of the team that built Wrecks last year has split and is building a new robot named Skorpios
-Splatter, which was a reserve last season, is now a full-time competitor
-Ray Scully, the man behind Abbatoir, is back with Clockwork L'Orange
-Ian Watts is returning once again, this time with a 5-part clusterbot namd Creepy Crawlies
-Team Storm is competing with a new robot named Photon Storm and are being assisted by Team Tornado and Team Chronic
-Team RioBotz is there with Minotaur
-A group of Australian roboteers will be competing with Death Roll
-Team Infernolab has scaled up one of their old robots, The Disk O' Inferno
-The Obwalden Overlord, a mysterious humanoid robot, also be appearing

And that's not even mentioning Bite Force, Tombstone, Bronco, or a couple of the more exciting newcomer robots like The Ringmaster. This is going to be one helluva tournament.

Overdrive should be more effective but I loved the desingn of it in ABC season 1. Maybe Electric Overdrivealoo will have a nice paintjob at least.
Also I would prever a Team Coco bot instead of Chinkilla.
Seeing that complete controll is missing makes me sad as it could not show it's potential last season.
Bombshell looks so tiny
