Because of this short timeframe, we have already picked the majority of robots for the series (Your old favorites and some exciting, new bots). However, there are still some slots left.
If (and only if) you are capable of having a robot ready by early March, and you and your team are available for the two week + shooting schedule in late March, early April, then you may go ahead and submit an application using our online registration system here:

Naw, that's fake
Sees Phillipa posted it
Never mind
Checking out the site, the filming dates are pencilled in for March 24-April 9 2018, shooting in Los Angeles, CA.That's not a lot of time for a new team to build a Heavyweight robot for the event, but it's possible for a few teams to build a robot within the strict time limit before the event if they really work straight on it, seeing that this happen with the reboot of Robot Wars. But it's nice to hear the news for the fans of the show to rejoice after over a year and a half waiting.
If you read Phillipa's other post you'd know that they already told several teams months ago and hence they've already started work on upgrading/building new bots.Checking out the site, the filming dates are pencilled in for March 24-April 9 2018, shooting in Los Angeles, CA.That's not a lot of time for a new team to build a Heavyweight robot for the event, but it's possible for a few teams to build a robot within the strict time limit before the event if they really work straight on it, seeing that this happen with the reboot of Robot Wars.

I'm aware that the article said about a lot of familiar faces for the season. But still, I was more apply my point to newer teams that do want to take part, but not having a lot of time to try and get a robot ready for the event unless they hastily build the robot for the competition.If you read Phillipa's other post you'd know that they already told several teams months ago and hence they've already started work on upgrading/building new bots.Checking out the site, the filming dates are pencilled in for March 24-April 9 2018, shooting in Los Angeles, CA.That's not a lot of time for a new team to build a Heavyweight robot for the event, but it's possible for a few teams to build a robot within the strict time limit before the event if they really work straight on it, seeing that this happen with the reboot of Robot Wars.

great.you don't sound too thrilled
The format will be like no others in Combat robot history. Each episode will be like a UFC fight with a fight card and main event. After an equal number of fights for all contestants, each robot will be ranked and seeded into a final tournament.
Yeah, everyone fights once, ranked based on that and then seeded and drawn for the tourney. May work quite well - everyone is guaranteed at least two fights, you could end up with a nice split of new/old/experienced/inexperienced bots through the tournament brackets, and you may be able to show full fights with the amount of episodes.Isn't that essentially the current format except EVERYONE gets a wildcard after the qualifiers?
Spiler for the matchups in the trailer
fingers crossed that they ditch the mentally challenged commentators for some good onesChris Rose and Kenny Florian are the hosts and commentators again.

Faruq Tauheed is doing general Faruq things.
Jessica Chobot is the post fight interviewer.
The judging panel is a rotating selection of three from episode to episode, including:
- Mark Setrakian
- Derek Young
- Lisa Winter
- Grant Imahara
- Alison Haislip
- Bobak Ferdowsi
- Simone Giertz
- Naomi Kyle
- Possibly more.

Glad Chris and Kenny are back really good imo
Maybe they vote for the tiebreaker if the two regular judges can’t agree on one.I think that all three get changed per episode. (Although I can't be certain on that, because Derek Young has been at the table for every picture I've seen, but certainly the others get changed around.)
Zhuge? To me, that bot stands out the most.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.

So far, eight of the competitors have been uploaded to this page, with more to be coming soon. Currently on show are Parallax, Huge, Axe Backwards, The Four Horsemen, Valkyrie, Kraken, Duck!, and Hypothermia.
if SB doesnt win this hes off my friends list
First episode matchups have been posted!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?
Biteforce VS Blacksmith
Mecha Rampage VS DUCK! VS Free Shipping
SubZero VS HUGE
Bombshell VS LockJaw
Tombstone VS Minotaur
There's only seconds to go so get to your TV as fast as you can...
IT'S ROBOT FIGHTING TIME!
I may have been born too early to travel the galaxy. I may have been born too late to explore the uncharted earth, but I was born at the right time to see Huge get on BattleBots.

He still uses uhmw. That gets shredded in antweights. Watching now, he just beat SubZero.

Very good opening episode. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

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.
Discovery channel banned us from watching Icewave vs vanquish in my country. I LIVE IN THE USA DISCOVERYYou could’ve at least recorded it. :dumb)

I've been away too long. Somebody is Jonathan Schultz of HUGE? Last I remember, he was just borrowing other people's bots to run at events. You've come a long way in a short time, Somebody.
Now I'm really rooting for HUGE to win. Or Bombshell, but it's not looking good for Mike at this point.

I stole Alex's (SKBT/Shish-ka-bot) robot in February 2016. Got into Battlebots in Feb 2018. It's been a little surreal. Mike was there, Alex also helped on us and SubZero, Kyle (zipdragon64) was with Bale Spear. Little reunion

POOO WE KNOW WHO HE IS.
THE JOKE THAT IS HIS USERNAME DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE
Somebody, if possible, you have to get the announcer guy- I forget his name, he’s the guy who introduces the bots- to reference GTM.
Do it for science.

Hey Sparky, get ready to kick the bucket-
because this match is gonna' be...
HUGE
I'll buy you a hat in TF2 if you can somehow get him to say this for any of your upcoming matches.
Filming ended around three months ago, just saying.Motherfuker....

Unrelated note: Kind of sad that neither Chomp nor Blacksmith were in the Desperado. I was really hoping to see at least one hammer in the top 16. But Chomp is not going to happen at 0-3 and Blacksmith is really long odds at 1-2.

From what I heard, more than 8 teams entered, and production picked which ones got in. So it's possible that Chomp/Blacksmith entered but weren't picked.
Sooo im going to say that Warhead is still feeling the pain from its encounter with Minotaur in 2016, They look like they are having a truckload of fun though
Disc was prolly reused from 2016, and was probably damaged by minotaur back in 16 (that is prolly what it means by feeling the pain?)Sooo im going to say that Warhead is still feeling the pain from its encounter with Minotaur in 2016, They look like they are having a truckload of fun though
That's what I was wondering, if the hit from Minotaur created some tiny fracture in the dome they didn't notice. It's just bizarre to wrap my head around the idea that a fight that happened 2 years ago could still have effects on fights today.

It's the same disc from the original BB series, been used all this time. They knew there was a small crack in it after the Minotaur fight and were aware of the metal fatigue so pretty much knew it was a matter of time!
im enjoying the crap out of this new season. anyone else recording episodes? i kind of caught this part-way through the season i think so im missing a few episodes but ive got six recorded right now iirc and ill upload them if i can when i get the chance (probably after the season finishes airing)
Hey boyyyysss next episode might have something pretty big in it. The reddit dug up a photo.Yeah, you might say its gonna be something HUGE!

We did! One of those was still usable, only had one cut in it. But we swapped it out anyhow.
