I was going to do a whole thing that was basically the beginning portion of The Beatles's "A Day in the Life" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNsCeOV4GM and then decided "meh, not in the mood to talk about all the domestic violence that's going on." Seriously, what in the actual fuck people? Yes, I'm looking at

Oh, the things we've learned of from Balls's AVN posts, and the Giant Washer awards… Welcome back to the Beat! We're one week in and already the defending champ is 0-1. This week, the younger sibling tries to pick up the gauntlet… against the preseason #1. Also two of last year's

BattleBots Beat: Banner Night

Senor Weaselo - January 12, 2023January 12, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat! For the… 6th? season in a row, I'm your friendly neighborhood Senor Weaselo, here to report and recap, well, BattleBots. It's a little bit of a different vibe this year, so let me get into the gist of the details: -There are only 50 full-competing robots

Your 2021* BattleBots Beaties! (Sponsored by Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo)

Senor Weaselo - January 11, 2023January 11, 2023

Hey, as long as they come out before I start writing about new season, I'll take it. So, you know, just in the nick of time. Hey, there weren't Giant Washer awards this year because my non-Mexican union equivalent Dracophile (of BattleBots Update) was apparently *checks notes* donating his time

BattleBots Beat: ZAAAAAAADOK THE PRIEEEEEEEST

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waTzBd5lTHQ …With a name like BattleBots: Champions, it's been right there this whole time. Also, bonus points because I've been sitting on this title since, like, last Thursday, when there was still a Queen of England, and not a coronation in the waiting, and the British monarch uses Zadok the Priest.

BattleBots Beat: Return of the Voodoo Mistress

And then there was one. Welcome back to the Beat, where the hunted actually did the thing they were supposed to! Skorpios made it one for the gatekeepers with their split decision win over Bloodsport. Well, there is one more, and actually she'd be the first and only to defend both

BattleBots Beat: The Zodiac Killer

Senor Weaselo - September 1, 2022August 31, 2022

Not Ted Cruz. Welcome back to the Champions Beat! Where the hunters are 3-0 against the hunted after Glitch managed to get Rotator to shear its own bottom plate off. It means there are two slots left to be claimed for the Golden Bolt tournament. Up for grabs? The bounty belonging

BattleBots Beat: The Palindromic Powerhouse

Senor Weaselo - August 25, 2022August 25, 2022

Welcome back to the Beat, Shempions edition! Where we've gotta say, like last year, it hasn't been a good start for the bounty bots, or legends, or gatekeepers, or whatever you want to call them. But the next of them knows a thing or two about turning around bad starts,

BattleBots Beat: The Mutant Scion

Senor Weaselo - August 18, 2022August 18, 2022

Welcome back to the Beat! We forge ahead with the Shempions portion of our program with a second helping. This week's bounty to be hunted, or what they're calling the gatekeeper, is Lock-Jaw. In terms of the history of combat robotics, Donald Hutson's name would be littered across the book. Tazbot,

BattleBots Beat: The Original Legend Killer

Senor Weaselo - August 11, 2022August 11, 2022

This is the BattleBots Season 3.0 heavyweight final, all the way back from the Comedy Central days. In one square, you had the two-time champion, BioHazard, believed by many even now to be one of the most dominant robots of all time. Its low profile and four-bar lifter controlled many
