I guess battlebots came out of nowhere. They informed some teams before the official annunce and the others had enough time and money to build a new HW.
As for Robot Wars it was just a matter of time after battlebots came back. Guys from the life show have known about something like that before and I guess there are people on GTM who are in contact with em

Click, I know of at least 1 GTM member entering BB2016, not sure if it's my place to talk about it though :P

I though that was common knowledge. But then again I'm not sure where I saw it now.

Greg and Trey have been trying to get it back for a really long time, they just didn't have any news till they got a bite. I don't know if you recall, but there was a rumor back in 2012 that James Cameron was bringing back Battlebots - turned out the rumor was semi-true, Greg and Trey were having conversations with him about it, but it never came to fruition.

I now wonder about the current status of Chaos 2 and Hypnodisk.

I do still wonder about this...

Sonny: I thought his show was called robogeddon?

So why do we have several GTM members entering Robot Wars, but none in Battlebots?

BB 2015 was invitational.

I think me, my bro and a few friends are making a robot to enter in if we have enough time and get something done.

It'd be so cool to see some gtm members on the show! Of course, there's no way of identifying you, unless you hold up a massive sign saying "GameTechMods FTW" or something.

You never know, though, if it goes on for long enough, I may try to enter myself one day. Given time and money, of course.

Well OK, I guess Ray Billings is technically a member. I was thinking of active members though.

You could put a GTM sticker on the robot.

I mean active GTM member, yes. So including Ray there's 2, actually a few if you include non-active.

Jaydee, entries close like in the next week or so and you have to get the heavy built for filming in early March. Just so you have an idea of timings.

Finally, take anything on /r/BattleBots' thread with a pinch of salt everyone. There's a lot missing and actually some inaccuracies about people who apparently aren't entering.

Thyrus · « **Reply #73 on:** January 17, 2016, 01:01:15 PM »

So if you are unexperienced or don't have one ready it's almost impossible to make it

Also I think I have a guess who the member could be

This. Im talking with my fellow mods on /r/battlebots about it. Sorry for any inaccuracies!

I really hope Razer has a better run than Warhead did on the show.

Was it MikeNCR? I seem to recall seeing something about it too.

Why is every body so horny for razer & hypno disc? They were cool to watch yes but why do they have such a huge fan base? No love for firestorm?
