The new season of BattleBots reaches the halfway mark tonight, and the first half is capped off by the long-awaited Desperado Flash Tournament: eight bots with their playoff hopes on the brink, three battles to win, and one automatic entry into the BattleBots Championship Tournament at stake.



After going all the way to the Championship final last season, Minotaur stumbled out of the gate this year and finds itself at 0-2 and in the Desperado. Filling out the bracket are other winless or otherwise shaky bots such as Black Dragon, Lucky, and Ragnarok. In addition to the Desperado, we also have a special exhibition battle tonight, featuring the debut of possibly the largest bar spinner in robot combat history. Deep Six is finally about to make a deep impact in the arena, and we're in for another explosive episode of mechanical mayhem! Catch it tonight at 8pm EST on Discovery Channel.





Just a heads up: there will be no new episode of BattleBots next week due to Shark Week completely taking over Discovery Channel, and it will return on August 9. The Science Channel re-runs will continue normally, so once we get back from the mid-season break, the re-runs will be back to the normal "5 days behind when they premiere" schedule from the start of the season. Finally, the usual reminder tags:
