Battlebots return?!

i think he means in the no-limits section with RW house robots

ah ye didnt read the last bit lol

cant see bbc letting battlebots make money off them though

they really need to give more information about the no limit comp

They cant give more info.
B.B. are simply throwing concepts about in the hope theyll attract some T.V. worthy oddities that they could showcase.... or not.

Besides, the houserobots would get butchered if they needed to go up against robots their own size.

i dont want to think about the cost to ship the new RR house bot !!! if someone wants to borrow it though :)

Latest word is that the event will not be until November. Have a look at this article from Popular Mechanics;
