Battlebots used to be a show where the floor hazards would play a bigger role in damage as opposed to the actual robots. Everything was very rinky dink, and the few robots that were well build won.
Nowadays the budgets are bigger, the robots are badder, and the floor hazards have taken a back seat.
I used to dislike Battlebots for its fake sounds, overly American production and floor hazards (have I mentioned those yet?). I loved Robot Wars, which was waay better. Both got their reboots, and my opinion did a 180. Whereas Robot Wars went all out and had so many house robots and floor hazards a bot couldn't turn any way without coming in contact with either one, Battlebots went the opposite way. Only some saws in the floor and side, and two hammers - one controlled by each team -, and that's it. Combined with a fantastic pacing, great commentators, really good bots, it's just everything you could ever dream off.
The result is undeniably one of the greatest combat robot shows there is. Watch it if you want to marvel at all the technical engineering, and the destruction of it as well.
score 10/10
