I can see why the modern Battlebots gets rid of them because it reduces randomness and there are 10s of bots that could legitimately win without bs getting in the way, but it's still funny to watch some driver forget about the pit and tumble in. Plus it never gets old seeing the stage crew desperately winch a ring out'd 250 pound robot out of the trench around the Robot Wars arena in the background while they interview the winner. I liked the Robot Wars arena better because the hazards (including the Pit and the house bots) were ways for a bot with a weaker weapon/armor to overcome that gap with skilled driving. Battles in Robot Wars always felt way more tactical to me than the ones in BattleBots. MasterGakke posted... In this vein, somebody mentioned the Beta/Hertz guys aren't in these Battlebots because they're in China doing another tourney. Is there any way to watch this? I know how to internet so watching Robot Wars as an American is easy, but Chinese TV is a mystery to me. I would guess there isn't any legal way to watch it here, and even if there was, you probably can't understand the Chinese commentary anyways. If you search for "King Of Bots" either on Google or on the r/BattleBots subreddit, you might find a way to watch some of the fights/episodes. There have been two seasons (though one of them is called a 1.5 for some reason) with another airing later this year. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.com/eZ90o0r.gif ...
