Boy, I just watch the Top Ten Battlebot moments. How could this glory ever be recaptured? I don’t think it can be.

They need to have a robot ‘Battle Royal’ with 4 or more going at it at one time.

Great news - I am so stoked. I still have my original BattleBot toys. Biohazard was my favorite.

I miss that series and look forward to its return. If the bots have evolved like the rest of technology they it will be awesome.

Watching now. Same problem as last time. Want to see more battle, less BS.

Maybe Radio Shack is sponsoring it?
I miss radio shack.

Jessica Chobot is a judge. Hint. Google images.
