I have the season dvr'ed, but haven't had a chance to watch it. Is Tombstone still battling? If so, him. He always kicks the shite out of everyone.

Minotaur pulls off the biggest turnaround since Lazarus and wins this thing.

As long as Witch Doctor doesn't win I'm good. Yes, I'm a nerd.

First two fights Minotaur was a lost cause, then they worked on his gearing or something, and last week he was simply magnificent.

Battlebots has the matches on line as a pdf, and if Huge makes it through its first match tonight, it gets Tombstone. I can't see how Huge's two tires could survive Tombstone.

Witch Doctor has been successful, but I hate the costumes and witchyness of it.

He's in it, but the field is catching up to him. Bite Force has won three of the last four giant nuts though and is undefeated this year so I would say he kicks the shite out of everyone.

They went with a bigger, heavier drum this year but didn't trim the rpm's. Way too much centrifugal force, so they couldn't control it. Their team has a couple of Brazilian engineers so I'm shocked they didn't catch it before the competition started.

I think they have it dialed in now.

The wife has been a huge minator fan for years. She was heart broke the first 2 fights but thrilled since then and yes I am lucky enough to have a geeky battle bot loving wife

Discovery tonight at 7.

I’ve watched the last 2 seasons, my son loves it. I can admire the engineering behind it and the power those robots have.

I'm a snuff dipping redneck and I enjoy the shite out of the show. Tha main announcer guy is a hoot with his play-by-play.

Don't watch every episode but do enjoy watching it now and then....but.... please dump the goofy announcer dude that tries to come up with a cute rhyme when introducing the teams.

Me and my 9 year old watch it.

He wants the remote-control set you can buy at Target and battle with.
