Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out we had a pair of stuck bots come back from seemingly the brink, a pair of curbstompings, and a pair of bots being knocked out at the same time. Will this week be any more ridiculous? I'm gonna say yes, but for

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, HyperShock actually friggin' worked in its first fight, P1 scored a big upset, and Copperhead outlasted Lock-Jaw.

Yes, it's the 2021 season and they're starting it on *checks calendar* dammit, Light Treason Day. Well, at least there'll be something

Well, the Beat returns! The Beaties'll come eventually (can I finish Banner Madness first, we're almost done after all), but as an added bonus comes the Bounty Hunters vehicle. It's a new format for this year, but one that according to the BattleBots execs they had been kicking about for a
