when i was in 2nd grade me and 4 friends were going to make a robot for this by mixing all the house bots into one and enter it of course nothing happened
seriously.. with all the reality shows today, and talent shows, and people at work being filmed shows, you would think a network would decide to revive this show.
it has action, showcases talent, and it has a bit of the reality tv element to it.
@Lustrum0005 oh I agree. It's not much educational. But at least it's more fun to watch than what you said..."people being filmed at work" and shitty scripted reality shows.
@mrkiky Agreed, both Battlebots and Robot Wars were true competitions which brought out the best. I mean look at this one. Complete turnaround. That's fun to watch.
@Cathexis256 i think their was battle bots on comedy central and another show similar to battle bots on spike but with different rules and differnt name cause i remember they used to come on back to back at the same time.
@23armyfreak Yes, and I was wrong though. First it will be on Sci-fi ( syfy... what ever it is) and I thought it was going to be a new series but unfortunately it is only a threee night thing, starting this Monday at ( pm central time...
How did this not have the ratings to be a huge hit?
IMO, If they do bring it back, contestants must be asked to control their machines remotely over the internet requiring that they be able to see through their robot as well.
Also increase the field, create normal obstructions like rubble, sand, creeks and even narrow halls and doorways.
Allow airborne robotos.
Increase prize amount and ask the US Government to help fund the science in exchange for US military contracts.
Why is it that so many teams don't realize that getting flipped is the quickest way to get themselves out? Seriously, just make it be able to unflip itself and you've just beaten about 20% of the competition right there.
i just caught my hand on fire using a little spray bottle with a lighter trying do a flame thrower i did it with my axe but my small sqaurt axe it caught on fire a blue fire wallago i was deastroying my rc car because it reminds me of battle bot arena :I
@MyChickenlover Because comedy central was cooler back then, they didnt have to play to make every idiot who watches their network laugh, they had a logical and funner side to them before.
@myfuckingcookies if you can think up somthing liek that sure, but im sure they also might qualify that as a health hazard considering that the gasoline tank might explode with impact of one of those pickaxes or the robot just may make the dirty work and burn down the whole warehouse lol.
i don't like flippers very much. is just seems like they completely rely on the opponent not being able to right themself. either that or they're afraid to damage the opponents bot.. if your going to make a flipper, make a good one that can do damage. if it can flip the opponent high up, the fall could be enough to jam the inner workings out of place.
@nfsfanAndrew the veterans are knowledgeable enough that they secure everything. Thats why you didn't see vladiator get knocked out when toro flipped him over and over season 4.
I always felt like they should have made the traps a little more destructive. That hammer is a joke. They should have put 2 manual hammers on opposite sides of the arena and let people from each team use their own devices to smash the crap out of opponents.
I agree, unless you had a really flimsy bot the hazards seemed like they were more for show than anything else.
I really like vlad's design from a defensive standpoint. It seems pretty sturdy and, obviously, flipping him over isn't gonna do anything. Offensively he's kind of boring but he gets the job done.
Gage is just an incredible driver. I feel like I'm getting a physics lesson whenever one of his bots launches an opponent perfectly so they land on a hazard, or against the wall at the worst angle.
Vladiator is my second fav robot. But later in BB he replaced the awesoem swear with retarded wedges and solid pikes with he lost with. shoulda stuck with da lifting spear
Yeah, last year at Robogames he told me he's still driving Vladiator. So if he's still driving Vladiator, then he's possibly still driving Vlad The Impaler 2.

i doubt they could've afforded multiple robots, which is why they wanted to minimize the destructive power.
this show would've done way better if robots actually got destroyed. fireworks, sparks, chainsaws etc
still a badass show though
