So what are we thinking that Discovery chooses now, of all times, in the middle of the run of Faceoffs on BB's own youtube channel, to start uploading their own highlights of past episodes?

A good sign? They've noticed how well Faceoffs is doing and want to let all those potential new viewers know that Discovery is where robot combat takes place on TV?

Or more cynically, they have no intention of doing anything with BB ever again and are trying to muddy the waters for casual fans searching for the "New" Battlebots video?

Thoughts?

Battlebots Champions II begins on Oct 5

The second season of Battlebots Champions (for the Golden Bolt) begins next Thursday Oct 5 on Discovery and streaming on Max! Are there any teams that you're more excited to see or bullish on?

I'm really curious on how the alternate teams perform in Champions. Many of them are brand new but by this point, they should have had enough test runs in the box to get up to gear. I'm hoping we have one or two breakouts from the alt pool that goes deep.

Lisa Winter appreciation post

After cutting the cord 7-8 years ago, BattleBots kind of feel off my radar. That's why I was stoked when they added it to Max streaming service. And I've been binging it for the last month or so.

My absolute favorite thing to watch for is, when you can see the judges in the background of a fight, it never fails that Lisa will have the biggest grin on her face. I don't know why, but I love seeing a judge enjoying themselves like a fan would.
