Big Dill’s massive lifting pickle spears seem like they might be formidable weaponry but we were privy to the opposite last season when the spears were blown out sideways and bent up. Not a strong start to the list of competitors.

(Click on any competitor’s picture to enlarge it for a better view.) It also means Axe Backwards is gone and now I almost feel kind of bad like I bullied the robot into not coming back. That said, going in alphabetical order we’re starting with the B’s because I guess Aegis was destroyed so wholly and completely by Fusion that the team decided to pack it up and not come back. Keep in mind I think I gave End Game a B-something last season so take these with a grain of salt because there’s a very real chance I’ll be way wrong about something (especially if you’re reading this and you were at the taping and know I’m wrong, just keep the snickering to yourselves and don’t ruin it please). However now that I am no longer in attendance at BattleBots, but I still want to support the show and community, I’ve pivoted to writing articles that give a breakdown of every single competitor, their potential strengths and weaknesses, and then finally I end each miniature segment with a letter grade that represents how likely I think this robot is to win the Giant Nut. That shit’s on my fucking resume.Īnd being in Vegas naturally there were a ton of neat souvenirs for me to miss out on. These were always spoiler-free and mostly served as a way for readers to maybe get a bit of vicarious living through my own experiences doing things like roaming the pits, paying too much for food truck food, and having Ian Lewis compliment my handshake by saying my grip was “like Razer’s”. I used to write “event report” articles where I talked about my experiences at the BattleBots events and also discussed some robots, for better or worse, worth keeping your eyes on. Is that still a topical reference this late in the year? Are people still scalping the big vape box? Anyways who cares about Xbox because we’ve got new BattleBots season 11 predictions inbound! (And yes, I am going to adhere to calling this “season 11” because one of these days the Comedy Central era will be showcased on this website and the last thing I need is two season 1’s.
BATTLEBOTS 2021 TV SCHEDULE SERIES
By the end of this year we’ll be botting it up so hard you’d think we were trying to snipe Xbox Series X listings on. A new season of BattleBots is literally right around the corner.
