BattleBots TV Hey BattleBots Fans Employee of Battlebots here.

first off, Thank you all so far for your involvement with our pro league series, without you all our editing style would not have changed so thanks for that! secondly I know I cannot prove I am an employee but I will say this, I am an Usher/Parking lot Attendant at the arena, It's been a dream come true to work at the arena itself and talk to the builders and engineers. Third of all, take this from someone working during the fights, They. Will. Get. Better. I know a lot of you were hoping for top notch Battlebots when we got back after 4 years but the engineers and drivers do have some kinks to work out as we go on. Also another thing you all probably knew is that Pro League 2 is officially happening next year in 2027. If you have any questions for me I can try to reply but its not guaranteed. Thanks fans!

From, an Usher at Battlebots :)

BattleBots TV Genuine question, if Rotator actually beat Endgame in WCV, how far would it go? Could it win the giant nut?

Let's say Rotator beat Endgame in the round of 16 of WCV. If they beat Endgame, how far can they go? Can they win it all? Because they'd fight Tantrum, and if they beat Tantrum they'd fight Whiplash.

And since this is WCV during Covid, it's a shame that some teams couldn't compete, which makes the season less competitive overall, but it did create a path to new builders in the competition like Team Shreddit (man I missed them)

Robot Wars How does Robot Wars avoid verts becoming the meta?

I have been starved for combat robotics, and have watching Robot Wars recently, and I noticed how few verts-and even spinners in general are present in the competition, and I‘m wondering what they’re doing differently across the pond.
