Jamie has been oit for some time but the competitors this season are the best of the sport. Should be super badass.

Super badass indeed. I got a chance to go to the filming this year, TV doesn't come close to showing how brutal some of those fights are

I always forget to watch this.

So Jamie was on Battle Bots and I missed all of that? Darn! How'd he do?

Has anyone every built a 'bot that just delivered a massive electrical charge that would fry every electronic component on the 'victim' ?

WTF?, I nodded off after dinner, but set an alarm to wake me up right before 8, and the damn last battle was just ending. Must've been 8pm EST. At least I saw a lot of it throughout the day.

First episode was awesome. They packed quite a few more fights in and the episode as a whole felt a lot tighter. They're replaying it Wednesday on Science channel with an extra rumble (3 robot fight).
