Filming dates are set for April and the season will presumably start on TV in June or July. We're getting another 20 episodes of metal-munching mayhem, and I can't wait! --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC ...

In the current format for Battlebots that will get ripped apart faster than Hydra's supposed ablative armor. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao ...

DuneMan posted... Do they have a new bot? Not one officially revealed yet, but the team has been teasing a BattleBots appearance, as well as something called "Project Artemis", online for a few months now. Chances are it's a new bot, but whether it's a new design or a similar flipper to Apollo is yet to be seen. https://www.reddit.com/r/battlebots/comments/dvw9at/team_apollo_teasing_project_artemis/ DuneMan posted... IIRC the original Apollo on Robot Wars looked like it had a wooden launch ramp. In the current format for Battlebots that will get ripped apart faster than Hydra's supposed ablative armor. Don't underestimate the power and durability of Brit-style wedge flippers. Apollo and Eruption are two of the toughest bots in the UK, they're both former UK champions, and they've taken some serious hits along the way. They're among the very few bots that have faced off with Carbide (the most powerful spinner in the UK, from the same team that brought Cobalt to BattleBots) without leaving the arena in pieces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozv2Oy8uUP4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz4VyrOaQNc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpwpVW1Y1c8 As for flipping power... Apollo managed to flip some of the House Robots, which are over double the weight of the normal competitors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrWyUmGYU2k And keep in mind that BattleBots' weight limit is 30 pounds higher than that of Robot Wars, so the team has 30 more pounds to use for either more flipping power (AKA the Hydra route) or tougher armor (the more likely option for Apollo) to adjust to their new environment. So even if the end result of "Project Artemis" turns out to be a flipper similar to Apollo, that already has the potential to be a championship contender in BattleBots. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/R0spTzg https://imgur.com/rZPRuCC ...
