The new competition is hitting YouTube Nov 1, it's finally time for some heavyweight bot combat!
I'm very excited. Tombstone is here, Faruq is announcing, Chris Rose still handing play-by-play. Fantastic potential.

Fon Davis competed with Mouser Mecha-Catbot and later became a judge for Battlebots.
Adam Savage of course part of the famous Team Blendo, the bot best known for requiring the battlebox to install a roof.
RIP Imahara, you legend.

A tough to find fight from the 2022 Battlebots Champions Series
- Is the community open to other bot leagues?
How does this community feels about seeing content posted from other robot combat leagues? Is there any interest in clips from NHRL, GSCRL, MRCA (ant/beetle weight leagues) or King of Bots and international heavyweight leagues?
I've seen some pretty entertaining beetleweight matches but I've been hesitant to post here as it's not technically battlebots.
There's not much direction in the sidebar regarding this, and if the community's expectation is to keep this place focused on strictly BB I will of course respect that. I expect BB will dominate this comm when the next season airs, but until then, maybe these leagues can fill as off-season content?

My vote is Spot with it's Massachusetts state police configuration

I'm super excited to see them compete. The Gluten Free team revolutionized FTC robotics with their autonomous, I hope they can do the same for battlebots!
- What have you imagined as an epic design for a bot?
I feel like a design has to evolve to survive at the different levels, but have you thought of a design that you think would stand out in the pros? Weapon design, wheel design, armor, go wild!

- Map of Robot Combat Events to Compete In
Here are some robot combat events if you want to find one that's nearby. I haven't gone to a competition yet, but I'd love to!
- Favorite bots?
I realize there's pretty much no one here at the moment, but I figure if we want to grow a community here we should start some discussions! So what is everyone's favorite bot? Personally I'm a fan of big horizontals so I love Bloodsport, but I love Tantrum and Blip and their teams, they seem really fun. Also a big fan of Black Dragon, Ribbot, and Valkyrie before this past season when the team really didn't seem to have it together.
- I use this as one of my desktop backgrounds
I love the titanium sparks flying everywhere! Does anyone else have suggestions for other desktop background pictures to use? Just pulling from the show usually doesn't look quite right
- awesome a BattleBots community
I just started the 2016 series and was wondering if anyone made this community already. Glad to see it

Lost my link to the fight cards gallery and the subreddit I got it from is protesting, so I'll come back and add fight cards later if the subreddit comes back.
- I'll continue posting the rest of the season's episodes later. Last episode was 3 weeks ago, so I figure there's no rush, just felt empty in here!
I hope it's cool that I'm posting these here!
