Calwings 07/16/21 6:16:26 PM #1:	To be taped 8/23-9/4 in Las Vegas, no TV airdate has been announced yet. https://twitter.com/BattleBots/status/1415708907624824832 Last season premiered on TV about two months after the taping finished, but I would expect this one to take a bit longer since there will be more bots and fights, maybe about three months or so. And for another interesting bit of news regarding this season... https://www.reddit.com/r/battlebots/comments/olfnp3/looks_like_we_may_be_seeing_sabretooth_in/ The Forbidden Door is officially open! With this announcement that Sabretooth will be competing in the tournament, we now have confirmation that former competitors of UK's Robot Wars (which was re-cancelled a couple years ago) can now freely compete in BattleBots because those bots and their likenesses are no longer tied up in exclusivity contracts. That means we could see some more UK competitors like Apollo come to the US for the first time, or potentially other UK-based teams like Beta and Cobalt switching to their more successful Robot Wars counterparts, Terrorhurtz and Carbide. Plus, less travel restrictions from COVID also means more international teams in general will be able to compete this year. ROBOT FIGHTIN' TIME is coming back, and we may be about to see the biggest field of bots ever assembled. Who's excited? --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/y5EaNsp <cite>Calwings posted [p:956155105] in BattleBots...

Gakk86 07/16/21 6:18:32 PM #2:	Woohoo! Love that this series has gotten the legs to continue on. I always loved Battlebots but the current incarnation has been excellent with so many bots capable of actual competition and destruction. --- All generalizations are false, including this one. <cite>Gakk86 posted [p:956155172] in BattleBots...

GallisOTK 07/16/21 6:25:58 PM #3:	Just for the hell of it, I want to see Behemoth show up. Behemoth and Son Of Whyachi are the two oldest active bots who are still using the same name and general design, and seeing them duke it out would be a fun fight. --- https://imgur.com/sZ6drsj <cite>GallisOTK posted [p:956155410] in BattleBots...
