#REDDIT BATTLEBOTS TV#
ran a few untelevised tournaments in the years following, but the show did not return to TV for another 13 years.Ī six-episode revival season premiered on ABC in 2015, hosted by commentators Chris Rose and Kenny Florian and in-ring announcements by Faruq Tauheed. The show had strong ratings for most of its run on Comedy Central, especially for a (mostly) non-comedic and unscripted sports program, but declining viewership and network interest led to its cancellation in 2002. An oral history of the show, and combat robotics in general, can be found here. Mark Beiro did the robot announcements in all five seasons. In the third season Sean was replaced by Tim Green. It was hosted in the first two seasons by Bil Dwyer and Sean Salisbury.

The show is an American version of Robot Wars, which makes sense since they both share a common ancestor in the original Robot Wars competitions in the United States during the early and mid 1990s. BattleBots is a popular show about fighting robots that first aired on Comedy Central for 5 seasons from 2000 until 2002, and then on ABC from 2015 to 2016 and Discovery Channel from 2018 onwards.
