Anyone else watching Battlebots? (programming.dev)

The previous two seasons were so far beyond any of the older seasons that I’m demanding you to watch seasons 6 and 7, before the world championship starts up again.

In the past, Battlebots was full of disappointing matches. The robots broke so quickly it was never really worth your time. Whenever they died, it was never obvious or interesting. Just one anti-climatic fight after another. That age ended with season 6, with 7 being even more impressive.

I think everyone needs to give combat robotics a second look.

Yes, last season was amazing. The Slugfest has been providing with plenty of entertainment as well.

Free Shipping pulled that surprising upset. I knew it had the advantage against Gigabyte but not against the other two.
