God Bless Battlebots! & ROTATOЯ @hexbug remote control toys in stores now! We chatted briefly about BattleBots and I showed him my hard hat with tons of old team stickers. In this episode @BlackandBlueRobotics shows us DUCK! Our hearts go out to his family. That was a wonderful tribute.

Watch this space for future ticket announcements.BattleBots® now has coverage in more than 150 countries. This is kind of random but in 2008 I was a foreign exchange student in South Korea.
I think they're owed one after the 2016 one got teased. RIP Grant. So obviously when we got home we needed to get a few seasons for family watching.
Perfection for Greatness. In the arena, it is almost uncontrollably fast! Saw this at Target today. We are completely devastated to report that Grant Imahara has passed away. It's not BattleBots without him, no offense to Kenny and Chris, also great commentators, but faruq just adds that unique sense of wisdom and humor to something so majestic and destructive.And in the center of the arena, a man who is not very meaana,
But I only discovered that it is not just a lifter, but now also a biter, a grabber, a few days back.
Faruq Tauheed, Actor: Cold Case. One of my favorite moments is his reaction when he gets touched by fish while swimming. !Sarebbe bello se uscissero moonson, Hypershock, Cobalt e Petunia Hello from Italy!Hexbug please do Hypershock and Nelly the Ellybot next. We got to see some live at a maker faire in Orlando. I spend every morning hearing your voice announcing from my sons battlebots arena!

They added a button to each controller (Duck needs one button to raise the blade, one to lower it; the weapon button is redundant on all other bots so far, but could add new options with future releases!) Bring on the new season of Battlebots already!
We all want Robot Kaos but these times are unpresidented and everybody's safety is at hand. Thank you for all of it, Grant.Thanks Dave, great write up. I still need to get a few more but I'm always excited to see what comes nextTo the Cobalt fans: We are spectators and not competitors or engineers and professionals that put this all together. But you should take liam on Saturday.
Sold together or separately, online or retail, buy now! I saw his robot at Mythbusters room.
He's likely to unwrap this one way or the other.
Who doesn’t live BattleBots!!
