Oh lawd, the hype is real for battlebots!

How awesome is ghost raptors armour design with the springs? Have been thinking of something similar for a long long time. Their implementation looks fantastic.

Hope someone uploads the eps asap Sad

24 robots - Single elimination. 4 fights per episode. So.....

First round will have 8 one-on-one, plus 8 robots with byes = first two episodes
Second round = round of 16, 8 fights = next two episodes
Third round = Quarter finals, 4 fights = One episode
Then the semi-finals and final in the last episode

Therefore every fight will be aired Very Happy

And we already know the fights in the first episode, just not the order:
Warhead vs Bite Force
Nightmare vs Warrior Clan
Plan X vs Wrecks
Icewave vs Razorback

I wish I didn't have to go to work tomorrow

I'm disappointed in some of the old & poor designs but still very keen to see the show.

How To Watch BattleBots?

So far its looking like a torrent might be your best bet.

ABC.go.com have a live streaming service but I have not found any way to stream this from the US Live. But as most of us will probably be working while its on that's not a big issue.

The best I can do at the moment is get ABC Go's on demand service. Either using a VPN which puts you in the region or a smart DNS. Getflix.com.au or unblock-us.com are two DNS examples with free trials which will let you stream on demand.

However
The problem is that they restrict the live and some new shows for a week to those with a Subscription. So you may be screwed waiting a week until its open to rest of the US.

If you want a shit quality stream this appears to work. Not sure if its main channel though. You need to close a bunch of ads overlayed on the stream which is annoying.
DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING FROM THIS SITE.

But once again I will just wait for the torrent I think should only be a few hours. And much better quality.

Hope this saves you some time.

How did the on demand play for you? I just tried it and it was almost unwatchably jerky.

On demand seemed fine but I only tried 30seconds or so.

I suspect it will be on demand next week which is a bit painful.

Just watched it, that was pretty sick

Lots of gourmet damage, seeing nightmare throw the mini flame robots from warrior clan at the wall in front of the announcer desk was pretty badass

NB not bad at all. Torrents are up at usual places.

Worth a watch.

Excellent show but I now want to slap all the teams that have non-invertable bots! Smile

The framing is slightly off-centre and it might get removed soon due to copyright but, for now, the whole first episode is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUI-1R7jfa4

Derek from complete control is a character, love it.

Charles built a nice machine. match with lockjaw was nice

Yeah that was so funny. Telly drama innit. Ghost Raptor bloke was a massive bell end so seeing him get all pissy was hilarious.
