I just saw a guy wearing a super mecha-catbot shirt, which was one of my favorites, and it reminded me of how much I enjoyed Battle Bots. And yeah, towards the end, the show got pretty corny, but the action was fun and seeing it live was a blast.

battle bots was awesome and there are much crappier/worse shows still on tv. I want it back too ;__;
i loved battle bots, i nearly lost my thumb trying to build my own, i stoped when i realized i didint know what the hell i was doing
i loved that show...they had some interesting commentators... like that old wrestler who wore the sock on his hand. I always wanted the House Bots to fight eachother.
I got addicted to Battle Bots, and decided to build my own. But by the time I was able to complete mine..NO MORE SHOW. Now it sits in my shop and once in a while I get it out to show off. Hoping one day to see my "Cerebus" in battle action.
what was yours like evilbink?

I'm so sad at TV shows now. There are very few that I actually enjoy. :( Like the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, though it's a bit gross at times.Quote:

It bummed me out when they ended the show, especially since I had got hooked on playing Robot Arena and Robot Arena 2... then they came out with RA: Design and Destroy. Nice games, gives you basic design and mechanical without the expense or possible injury. Lots of fun and good way to kill hours on end... and kill bots. :thumb:
