Evening all. If anyone wants to know who I'm picking this week on BattleBots, I've got Razorback over Ghost Raptor, Warhead over Complete Control (which they're showing an audio clip of which is making me nervous), Son of Whyachi over Poison Arrow, and Tombstone over Escape Velocity, and if you

So here we are, the third and final installment of our bot-by-bot preview of this season's BattleBots. Twenty or so more robots, some may never make it to the fights, some may never make it to TV, some might actually win a fight or two or the whole thing. This final

Senor Weaselo - May 30, 2016May 30, 2016

Greetings. Last time we took a look at the first twenty hopefuls for this year's BattleBots Giant Nut. Let's take a look at another twenty, including the oldest robot in the field, my favorite-looking newcomer, and the robot I think is most likely to crash last year's contenders' party. I didn't

King Hippo - May 12, 2016May 10, 2016
