It'll be interesting to see who the Founder's Award gets given to this year. Chomp got it last year because of literally everything about it, but for me this year there isn't really a standout.

Zhuge is the wrong show.  Double Jeopardy team has been talking up their innovativeness.  If it's as new as they say, they could have it.

pretty hype to have this on discovery channel imo, should be a lot more focused on the actual robot fighting

New little poll added while we wait for all the robots to be officially announced. Will Tombstone successfully defend its crown?

Well the poll was pretty clear, you guys think that Tombstone won't be able to pull back to back victories, but who do you think will win this time? Check out the new poll to cast your votes!

So apparently Science Channel are getting a bonus rumble of Deviled Egg vs Sharkoprion vs Kraken that won't be shown on Discovery. Wut?

Is the three way battle part selected because of being Robogames competitors? I know that DUCK! and Free Shipping are Whoops! and Original Sin in Robogames, respectively, but what about Mecha Rampage?
