Finally got to watching this series. It’s just what I hoped for. Love the format, more robots, great designs, mostly effective hazards, lots of episodes. Totally into it right now.

They appear on YouTube and Dailymotion pretty soon after airing, just saying. Alternatively you could hit up the Discord for other ways.
Thanks for the heads up! Yeah, some guys at a discord linked the matches with me. Loved the episodes so far! Really happy with the matches and the format.

Hey guys. I'm looking for the new episode of this, but see nothing. Not even activity here. Was it not broadcast or anything?

In an act of blatant ableism, they didn't let me in.

I didn't apply but whatever.
