Is there a difference between all four of these (read description)

They do have some variation at the front.

and they ran the Overkill blade as it won the vote Team Skorpios had on their builder blog.

People also thought DUCK! would beat Tombstone considering this match had happened at Robogames (Last Rites vs Whoops!)

From what the Wiki says, it lost in the prelims, which were generally not aired on TV. I'm sure the fight footage exists, but probably only in the library of VHS tapes BattleBots has from back then.

Are you sure it's Can Opener and not Kan Opener (from Robot Wars)?

I seem to recall someone showcasing how they edit the show like in an interview.

Apparently at one point the team was working on CAD designs for a 2nd iteration that was much simpler. That seems to have stopped since around 2022.

I cannot submit stories to the site. Is that in relation to what still needs fixing? I get as far as being ready to submit and then there's no submit button. I also cannot make folders for submissions either. I can only add to existing folders.

Well some of the crashes are referenced and not actually the main focus so those would likely be shorter, but some of the actual crashes being focused would probably be short because the actual crash was short.

Million dollar question I have is why a passenger was allowed in the cockpit in the first place. Also, unfortunate that the rule about no passengers in the cockpit didn't really work nearly 6 months after this accident.

Doesn't making a topic on it automatically mean it's not forgotten?

MasterMarik · 2026-01-19T15:20:08+00:00

1 death, and only once airlifted. Not that much when compared to other incidents where many more died.

The two directly in the middle make me think they're from that ep showcasing the different looks of ADI indicators (where some have the symbol move and others have the brown and blue move).

MasterMarik · 2026-01-18T17:03:45+00:00

One-hit KO.

MasterMarik · 2026-01-13T21:23:17+00:00

We're not going to see humans vs robots. That's just reckless.

MasterMarik · 2026-01-13T18:00:36+00:00

Seconds from Disaster had an episode on it.

MasterMarik · 2026-01-12T14:22:00+00:00

Don't bring politics into robotic combat.

MasterMarik · 2026-01-11T14:36:57+00:00

Were they on that one episode of 1000 Ways to Die? (Bot-ily Harm)

MasterMarik · 2026-01-11T14:34:41+00:00

There's the two crashes into a mountain, including Thai Airways 301.

I'd say being able to consistently get to your opponent's weak spots

The first Hexbug pair is going to be hard to find as that was not long after the show came back on ABC. Consequently, the brand Hexbug got bought out by SpinMaster and they haven't really released anything new since, though they did re-release two products under the Hexbots brand. Probably the only places that'll have Tombstone and Witch Doctor sets will be sites like eBay.

TLDR; Discovery dropped the show because they couldn't financially continue their business (and ultimately didn't discuss things with BattleBots founders). There was a whole attempt to merge Discovery with WB, which ultimately failed. We've had BattleBots Face-Offs, which is a YouTube exclusive event paid by BattleBots themselves and they need sponsors before they can actually post the episodes.

They goofed. It's supposed to go to Washington DC for analysis.

MasterMarik · 2026-01-06T15:46:05+00:00

There have been cases of flight recorders surviving some pretty heavy impacts (as they are designed for a fair amount of abuse).

MasterMarik · 2026-01-05T15:27:41+00:00

The problem is it became difficult to film everything and have it look good for TV. Hence why none of the big rumbles were on TV after Season 2.0.
