We've been watching since it was on Spike/Comedy Central and we even transferred the few tapes we had to DVDs.

There was even a Battlebots presence on a CSI episode, darn, it may have been twenty years ago, now.

We don't have Discovery+ so we aren't seeing the other version they have of Battlebots (Bronco and Chomp have been seen in their promos) and I hope we can see it somewhere else later this year.

With a firm dislike for minibots and drones, I wonder why they have curtailed Faruq's introductions to "It's robot fighting time."

Drones like flamethrowers are primarily showmanship and for the most part minibots are also. However, Tracer's minibot Needle showed some usefulness last night in stopping that farm themed robot. The long arms slide under then rotate to lift the other robot up. It has spikes on one side to "capture" the robot. I wonder if it would be even more effective with spikes on both sides so it could grip the rubberized floor.



This is when it stops the other bot, sorry Hulu darkens the screen when I pause.
