Season 1, Episode 16

SEAN: We're down to our last few battles of this tournament. Only one will remain alive and become our Battlebots champion. Ankle Biter and Sabotage battle it out to face Shreds-A-Lot for the championship title. This is what every tournament winds down into.

 

BIL: The suspense is killing me, Sean. I am very excited and have been since this tournament began. Let's get right to our first fight. Ankle Biter is a two-wheeled bot with a saw inside its wedge. Sabotage is also a wedge bot but it has a flipper that can also act as a clamp. Here's how those two got here: Ankle Biter took on Bad Attitude and put him out after Bad Attitude got caught in the spike strip. Then, Ankle Biter took out Diesector after Don's bot ended up on its side. His next opponent was Vlad II and he also put this bot on its side. Sabotage on the other hand pulled off the 29-21 Judges Decision to advance. Then he took on the vicious Nightmare where it won 23 to 17. Then, he fought Twin Paradox, where the flipper bot knocked Twin Paradox out in under 2 minutes.

 

SEAN: I'm as excited as you are, Bil, let's get the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: While he has the ability to teach others to fly, he has the will to make others die, he's SABOTAGE! And in the blue square: It's the deadliest robot you've ever seen, it's the creature lurking in the shadows on Halloween and it's the robot that will cut open your spleen. Here is ANKLE BITER!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

MATT: I am ready!

RED REF: Red Driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver are you ready?

JOHN: Ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Sabotage with the attack on Ankle Biter but can't get it done.

BIL: Ankle Biter must be careful as his bottom frame is very vulnerable to Sabotage.

SEAN: There's the first successful flip for Sabotage and Ankle Biter looks to be in big trouble, Bil.

BIL: There isn't much touching the ground, Sean. Ankle Biter's on his back end now! Poor Ankle Biter, it seems that luck just isn't with him very often when he fights. Sean.

 

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

BIL: Sabotage movin' on to the finals!

SEAN: A good fight indeed now let's get the official decision.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman: The time, 52 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, in the red square, SABOTAGE!

SEAN: Now comes the battle we always wait for, Bil. How does the championship play out?

BIL: George Hazard created Shreds-A-Lot, whose weapons are a wedge and 3 saw blades inside it. Matt Sabotino's Sabotage has the unique flipper that can also grab opponents.

 

SEAN: Here we go, it's time for the introductions for this championship match.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square, to my right: All finalists will have to await the devastation this robot causes. Welcome SABOTAGE! And in the blue square: This behemoth has crashed and smashed his way to this point and nothing stands in his way of the championship title except one other robot. Here's SHREDS-A-LOT!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

MATT: I am ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

GEORGE: I am definitely ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Sabotage with the early flip on Shreds-A-Lot!

BIL: Doesn't hurt Shreds-A-Lot much, though as he can run upside down but is very vulnerable to other flips.

SEAN: Sabotage continues to dominate this fight as we see yet another toss against SAL.

BIL: SAL is in trouble if he can't get back over, Sean.

SEAN: Well there isn't much he can do right now as Sabotage continues his punishment against SAL but appears to have stopped moving.

BIL: He's been dominating this fight, Sean. That would be a real shame to lose that way.

SEAN: Well it wouldn't have been the first time, Bil. There goes SAL as he slams the what appears to be incapacitated Sabotage into the wall and now he's stuck there.

 

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: So that's it, Shreds-A-Lot is our champion of Battlebots!

BIL: Kudos to George Hazard, well done my friend!

SEAN: Now let's get the final decision.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman: the time, 56 seconds. The winner, by a knockout and Battlebots champion.....the blue square, SHREDS-A-LOT!

 

SEAN: Congratulations, George, you've won the tournament! Now Mark Beiro has your award.

MARK: Presenting, the Battlebots champion of the world, SHREDS-A-LOT! Here to accept this award is George Hazard!

BIL: What a season this has been. Here are the final replays. Sabotage took out Ankle Biter only to lose to our Battlebots champion Shreds-A-Lot.

 

SEAN: For Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklarr and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury. Thank you for being a part of our Battlebots season.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer, signing off, hoping you'll join us next season. See ya then.

 Season 1, Episode 15

SEAN: After tonight, the competitors for round 4 will be decided. First up, Ankle Biter goes all out against Vlad II. Next, Sabotage tries to make pancakes out of Twin Paradox. Finally, Overkill attempts to serve up his own platter of defeat for Shreds-A-Lot. Good evening and welcome to round 4 of Battlebots everyone, I'm Sean Salisbury.

 

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. This it, Sean. Round 5 will be upon us after tonight.

SEAN: Yes and we'll be that much closer to crowning a champion.

BIL: Let's begin with our first fight. Gauge Cauchois' Vlad II features lifting forks and a righting mechanism if he happens to get flipped over. Ankle Biter was created by John McKenzie. His weapons are a wedge and a saw inside the wedge.

 

SEAN: Let's get the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: If you end up waking up in the middle of the night with slashes at your feet, you'll know it's the work of ANKLE BITER! And in the blue square: He may not have the strength to take out zombies in movies, he may not have a crazy idea to find life on other planets but he does have a grudge against you because he's VLAD II!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

JOHN: I am

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

GAUGE: Ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Ankle Biter and Vlad II slamming into one another but neither one able to take advantage of the other, Bil.

 

BIL: It seems that Vlad just can't get his forks under Ankle Biter to really do anything because maybe Ankle Biter is heavier.

SEAN: Take a look at the punishment to Ankle Biter by Vlad as he is slammed into the wall and flipped over.

BIL: We've never witnessed whether Ankle Biter can run upside down but it looks like he barely has enough traction on those wheels but is struggling, Sean.

 

SEAN: Another big slam by Vlad II and Ankle Biter is right-side up now. Oh my goodness, Vlad II is on his side, Bil, this could be an upset by Ankle Biter.

 

BIL: I don't see Vlad II having any way to self-right from his side, Sean, although we never saw it happen from him, he either landed upright or on his back.

 

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: What an upset by Ankle Biter. Now let's get the official results from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time 1 minute, 17 seconds. The winner, by a knockout and advancing to the Semi-Finals.... the red square, ANKLE BITER!

 

SEAN: Ankle Biter moves on to the Semi-Finals while Vlad II goes home. Bil, what does our next match up look like?

BIL: Twin Paradox has a spinning blade as its main weapon. Its builders are Michael Neese and Skunk-Tek of Charlotte, North Carolina. Sabotage features a wedge and flipping arm. His builder is Matt Sabotino from Greenwood, Indiana.

 

SEAN: Thanks, Bil, now let's go to Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: If you try to ask him for help in your wood-related projects, you'll become his project: Operation Destroy! Here is TWIN PARADOX! And his opponent, in the blue square: Don't count on him being your chef for breakfast. He's only here to defeat enemy robots. He's SABOTAGE!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

MICHAEL: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

MATT: I am ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Sabotage with the early use of his flipper but can't get it done.

BIL: Now Sabotage gets the flip!

SEAN: Oh, look at both robots, they both got flipped over!

BIL: This isn't really a problem for either robot but Sabotage looks to be having trouble moving, Sean.

SEAN: That  could cost him as we see Twin Paradox going after Sabotage's main weapon, his flipper.

BIL: Twin Paradox under Sabotage! Aw, can't hang on to him, though. There he goes again! Still can't quite hold him.

SEAN: Both robots back over and Twin Paradox has lost his blade and is stuck on one of the spikes in the spike strip!

BIL: He's in real trouble if he can't free himself, Sean and it doesn't look like he will but he's trying.

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: So Sabotage moves to the Semi-Finals to meet Ankle Biter. Let's get the final answer from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time: 1 minute, 53 seconds. The winner by a knockout and advancing to the Semi-Finals.......the blue square, SABOTAGE!

 

SEAN: There you have it, Sabotage advances. What about our last match, Bil?

BIL: Overkill was built by Christian Carleberg from North Hollywood California. Its weapons are a wedge and an overhead blade. His opponent is Shreds-A-Lot, whose builder is George Hazard from East Windsor, New Jersey and whose weapons are 3 blades inside a wedge.

 

SEAN: A pleasure to have you, Bil. Now it's time for the introductions

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: The only thing on his menu is victory. Welcome SHREDS-A-LOT! And in the blue square: Here is a robot that always knows how to make the cut for plays. Introducing OVERKILL!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

GEORGE: I'm ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

CHRISTIAN: I am ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Both bots are meeting in the center of the arena as we start this bout. There's the first flip by Shreds-A-Lot but Overkill is right back over.

 

BIL: Overkill scores a blow on top of Shreds-A-Lot. Doesn't seem to have harmed Shreds-A-Lot though.

SEAN: Overkill is again tossed into the air and on his back right now with a quick self-right. Another toss by Shreds-A-Lot and there's Killsaw damage to Overkill.

 

BIL: It looks like both robots are stuck now, Sean.

SEAN: Shreds-A-Lot seems to still be moving but I think Overkill's tires are locked with the wedge of Shreds-A-Lot, Bil. Take a look at that bar on top of Shreds-A-Lot, Bil. It seems to be damaged.

 

BIL: Yeah, it's coming out of its holes, Sean. How about that, Overkill flipping Shreds-A-Lot!

SEAN: An impressive flip by Overkill but this match is just about done.

BIL: What a fight, who's moving on?

SEAN: Well Mark Beiro has the answer.

MARK: The 3 judges at arena side have turned in a 31-19 Judges Decision for.....the red square, Shreds-A-Lot!

SEAN: Shreds-A-Lot moving on to the Semi-Finals! Bil, rewind the tape for us.

BIL: With pleasure. In our opening bout, Vlad II got shot-out by Ankle Biter after getting flipped onto his side by the wedged robot. Our previous match was a fierce one until one final hit tore off Twin Paradox's blade and any remaining chances he had for victory. In our last match, Shreds-A-Lot pushed past Overkill's assault into the final slot fro the Semi-Finals.

 

SEAN: For Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklarr and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Sailisbury.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer, reminding you to stay tuned to next week's Battlebots episode as we close out this tournament. See ya.

Season 1, Episode 14

SEAN: Tonight we find out the last 3 robots to enter round 4. First up Dreadnaught and Twin Paradox sharpen their blades for a one-on-one showdown. Then it's a quest to find out who has the better attack between Overkill and Blade Runner. Finally, Backlash and Shreds-A-Lot fight to the end to fill the last slot. Good evening and welcome to Battlebots everyone, I'm Sean Salisbury and the man I show my appreciation of the sport is Bil Dwyer.

 

BIL: I am amped up, Sean. 3 more competitors will make their way to round 4. Let's begin with our first fight. Dreadnaught is the creation of Christian Carlberg from North Hollywood California. His weapons are a horizontal spinning blade as well as a rear wedge. Twin Paradox has his own horizontal blade and was built by Michael Neese and Skunk-Tek of Charlotte, North Carolina.

 

SEAN: Here we go again, it's time for Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing in the red square to my right:  Here is a bot that allows you to show everything you've got, then takes it away from you, here is TWIN PARADOX! And his opponent, in the blue square: His destructive force  tears all opponents into microscopic morsels. Please welcome DREADNAUGHT!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

MICHAEL: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

CHRISTIAN: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! A nose-to-nose impact to start this bout. Take a look at that, Dreadnaught flipped by Twin Paradox!

 

BIL: A near-miss for Dreadnaught from the Pulverizors, Sean.

SEAN: How about that, Dreadnaught is stuck in the Killsaw hole there, Bil.

BIL: That's not a good place to be in if you're Dreadnaught.

SEAN: A generous help by Twin Paradox, which isn't necessarily the smartest thing to do if you are to win this fight. Dreadnaught looks to be in trouble again now, Bil.

 

BIL: Those wheels don't look to be moving, Sean. I don't think he can move at all.

SEAN: Looks like there's movement again from Dreadnaught and he's back in this fight.

BIL: Dreadnaught's stuck in the Killsaw hole again, Sean!

SEAN: Not only that, Bil but one of his wheels seems to be stuck in the spike strip.

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: So that's it for Dreadnaught, Twin Paradox advances. Let's get the official decision from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time: 1 minute, 33 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, and advancing to round 4....the red square TWIN PARADOX!

 

SEAN: Too bad for Dreadnaught, he was such a good robot, Bil.

BIL: Indeed he was, Sean. He just didn't get the luck he needed for this fight.

SEAN: How does our second pair look?

BIL: Blade Runner is what we call a thwack bot, or in other words they spin to hit their opponents. His builder is Ilya Polyakov from Dix Hills, New York. opponent is Overkill who has a swinging overhead blade. His builder is Christian Carleburg from North Hollywood, California.

 

SEAN: Thanks, Bil, now lets go to Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: The only time you'll see this robot going after trees is for target practice, he spends all his real attacking on you. Welcome OVERKILL! And his opponent, in the blue square: You can dream about defeating this robot all you want, but the harsh reality is, the robot will always win! Here is BLADE RUNNER!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

CHRISTIAN: I am ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

ILYA: I am definitely ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Both robots with a nose-to-nose attack on each other.

BIL: Blade Runner with a big slam into the wall for Overkill, Sean and I think that's it for his back wedge.

SEAN: Well he still has that blade of his. Overkill not landing many blows, this shows how hard it is to use a bot like Overkill versus a bot like Deadblow or Killerhurtz. Blade Runner with another slam for Overkill.

 

BIL: There goes the blade, Sean and that also had his self-righting mechanism so if he's flipped, it's over.

SEAN: There's your flip and I think this one's over.

BIL: Come on, I wanna see some destruction for the poor robot.

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

BIL: Aw, he couldn't do it but he's movin' on to round 4.

SEAN: What a win for Overkill, huh? Now lets get the statistics from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time: 2 minutes, 12 seconds. The winner, by a knockout and advancing to round 4......the red square, OVERKILL!

 

SEAN: Not too bad for Christian Carleburg tonight, Bil. One of his bots is out but he still has another one moving on. How does our last pair look?

 

BIL: Backlash is the deadly creation of Jim Smentowski. His weapon is that famous spinning wheel of death and rear wedge. Shreds-A-Lot features a wedge with 3 saw blades in the middle. His builder is George Hazard from East Windsor, New Jersey.

 

SEAN: Time for Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: If you wake up with your backside bleeding, it's because you have felt the wrath of BACKLASH! And in the blue square:  Flinching even for a second will anger this robot and cause him to rip your eyes out. Here is SHREDS-A-LOT!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

JIM: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

GEORGE: Definitely ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! A big slam by Shreds-A-Lot! Backlash taking hits from the Pulverizors!

BIL: Shreds-A-Lot is just relentless on Backlash, Sean. Backlash with a near-miss on the Killsaws. Another brutal slam by Shreds-A-Lot. Backlash not having his way at all in this fight.

 

SEAN: Looks like this hit wedged both robots into the Spike Strip. Shreds-A-Lot struggling to get free and he does. Oh, what a hit by Shreds-A-Lot! I think Backlash is stuck there, Bil.

 

BIL: Yeah, I see Backlash's wheels movin' but he doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!.

SEAN: Utter domination by Shreds-A-Lot and George Hazard. Lets find out from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time: 2 minutes, 11 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, and advancing to round 4.......the blue square, SHREDS-A-LOT!

 

SEAN: What an exciting night of robot fighting. Bil, play it back for us.

BIL: In our opening bout, Twin Paradox knocked out Dreadnaught after he slammed him into the Spike Strip. In our previous match, Overkill took out everything Blade Runner had, including victory and in our last match, Shreds-A-Lot proved to Backlash that he has the better weapons by shoving him all over the box for the eventual knockout and win.

 

SEAN: For Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklarr and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer, telling you to stay tuned next week for the start and conclusion of round 4. See ya then!

Season 1, Episode 13

SEAN: The carnage continues as we move into round 3. Ankle Biter throws down with Diesector. Then Vlad II and Panic Attack get it on to prove who is better. Finally, Sabotage tries to show Minion II how robots fly. Good evening and welcome to round 3 of our Battlebots Tournament.

 

BIL: This is going to be an awesome set of fights, Sean.

SEAN: Yes and they're only going to get better as we move closer to crowning a champion. How does our first pair match up?

BIL: John McKenzie's Ankle Biter is a wedge bot with a saw inside its wedge. Diesector is the sinister design of Donald Hutson from San Diego, California.

 

SEAN: Thank you, Bil, now let's go to Mark Beiro for the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: When you find him tearing apart your feet, you'll know you're fighting ANKLE BITER! And in the blue square: He is not here to cut open dead animals, nor is he here to go easy on opponents. In fact, he's here to destroy all opponents because he's DIESECTOR!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

JOHN: I am ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

DONALD: Ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Oh look at that, Ankle Biter strikes early with a flip on Diesector!

BIL: Doesn't hurt Diesector, though, he's designed to handle running upside down.

SEAN: Diesector has Ankle Biter on top of him, Bil.

BIL: Couldn't hold him though as Ankle Biter is back on the floor. Diesector with a slam into the spike strip for Ankle Biter.

SEAN: Oh my goodness, look at Diesector, he's on his side!

BIL: Are you kidding me? Oh man, that is the worst position Diesector can get in since he doesn't have his hammers. It looks as if Diesector is just shy of the Killsaws, which could put him back over but Ankle Biter would get points but I don't see that happening.

 

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: That's it for Diesector now lets' get the official decision from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time 1 minute, 11 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, in the red square, ANLKE BITER!

SEAN: What a disappointment for Donald Hutson and Diesector, Bil. How does out second pair match up?

BIL: Vlad II is the creation of Gauge Cauchois from Oakland California. His weapon is a pair of lifting forks. Panic Attack also has lifting forks and was built by Kim Davis from England.

 

SEAN: As always, thanks Bil. Now let's go for the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: Lurking in the red corner is the fiend responsible for the loss of many lives of opponents. Her is VLAD II! And in the blue square: Count your lucky stars if you live to face the wrath of PANIC ATTACK!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

GAUGE: I'm ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

KIM: I am ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Nose-to-nose to start the bout. This should be a good match, Bil.

BIL: Vlad II doing what he does best, get under opponents and slam them into the spike strip. Panic Attack not able to get those forks under Vlad, Sean.

 

SEAN: That's not like Panic Attack, usually he gets under bots and flips them again and again. Vlad II takes Panic Attack to the Pulverizors. Complete domination thus far for Vlad II.

 

BIL: Two hits from the Pulverizor.

SEAN: Panic Attack now flips Vlad II over but Vlad self-rights with no problem. How about that, Vlad flipped by Panic Attack! We're down to the last 30 seconds now as more hits are being made but this one is going to be close.

 

BIL: It was all Vlad II at the beginning but then it turned to both robots as the match ends, which is right now.

SEAN: So who won this bout? Let's find out from Mark Beiro.

MARK: The 3 judges at arena side have turned in a 22-21 decision for....the red square, VLAD II!

SEAN: Vlad wins by a narrow decision and moves on. Bil, what does our last bout of the night hold?

BIL: Well it holds 2 bots, Sean. Minion II  has dual saw blades and was built by Christian Carleburg of North Hollywood California. His opponent, Sabotage was created by Matt Sabotino from Greenwood, Indiana.

 

SEAN: Now for the introductions with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: He viciously attacks all who try to oppose him and intimidate him because he's MINION II! And in the blue square: One way to find this robot is to look for the trail of disabled robots courtesy of SABOTAGE!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

CHRISTIAN: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

MATT: I am ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Sabotage with the early flip on Minion II! If you're Minion II you have got to avoid that flipper.

 

BIL: Sabotage is relentless, that's another flip to Minion.

SEAN: Minion II is on his back now but seems to be having righting problems as normally he can right himself but isn't doing so.

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: So that's it, a quick win for Sabotage. Let's get the official decision.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time 1 minute, 59 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, in the blue square, SABOTAGE!

SEAN: Another episode comes to a close. Bil, take us through the highlights.

BIL: Ankle Biter pulls the stunning upset over Diesector by putting the bot on his side. In a tight match, Vlad II takes home win after a brutal battle with Panic Attack. In our last match, Sabotage shows why the third time is the charm as he flips Minion II 3 times to take the win.

 

SEAN: Well for Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklarr and Bill Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. We leave you now with the hit of the week. See ya.

Season 1, Episode 12

SEAN: The final match ups for round 2 air tonight. T-Minus dukes it out with Blade Runner. ShoveMaster2000 battles Shreds-A-Lot and finally, Backlash rips it up with New Cruelty. Hello and welcome to the final battles for round 3, I'm Sean Salisbury and my partner next to me is Bil Dwyer.

 

BIL: This is it, after tonight, the last three slots will be filled with bots for round 3.

SEAN: That's right, winners move on, losers go home. How does our first pair match up, Bil?

BIL: T-Minus is the creation of Reason Bradley and Alexander Rose from Sausalito, California. His main weapon is a flipping arm, which can toss other robots, as well as himself into the air. Blade Runner has a new design this season. He now has a back wedge and a front spinning Blade. His creator is Ilya Polyakov from Dix Hills, New York.

 

SEAN: Let's go to Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: No one has been able to face him and live to tell the tale of the deadly Battlebot known as BLADE RUNNER! And his opponent, in the blue square: No bot is untouchable, undefeatable, or unbreakable, unless in the eyes of T-MINUS!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

ILYA: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

REASON: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! T-Minus trying to toss Blade Runner but fails and look how his flipper is on top of Blade Runner, Bil.

 

BIL: That's not good if you're T-Minus, Sean. T-Minus' only weapon is that flipper and it seems to be working against him.

SEAN: T-Minus on his side now and look at the attacks being made by Blade Runner! There goes the main part of the flipper that allows it to work as Blade Runner moves T-Minus to the Pulverizors. If you're T-Minus, you need to get out of there quickly and look at that, he does but it looks like something's wrong with his flipper.

 

BIL: It's on the outside of his body, Sean. Look at T-Minus, trying to use the disabled flipper as a shield but as you said earlier Sean it seems to be going against his own design as he is back on his side.

 

SEAN: T-Minus is in major trouble as he is again under the Pulverizors and seems to be stuck in the corner. Another piece of T-Minus' flipper gone and this time it's the part that actually allows the flipper to get underneath other bots and flip them into the air. The referee's counting T-Minus out, I don't see him getting out of there, Bil.

 

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: Blade Runner advancing to round 4. Let's get the official decision from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time, 2 minutes, 3 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, in the red square, BLADE RUNNER!

SEAN: There you go, a decisive knockout win for Blade Runner. How does our second match up fair, Bil?

BIL: ShoveMaster2000 is the creation of George Hazard from East Windsor New Jersey, however, he's driving ShoveMaster2000 and had John McKenzie, Ankle Biter's driver, to fill in. It's weapon is a scoop wedge. Shreds-A-Lot is also a creation from George Hazard. Its weapons are a wedge and saws inside the wedge. 

 

SEAN: As always, I thank you Bil now let's go to Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: This fiend awaits any foolish robot walking into his corridors. He's SHREDS-A-LOT! And his opponent, in the blue square: If you think you've seen good shoving in bulldozers, you haven't met SHOVEMASTER2000!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

GEORGE: Ready

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

JOHN: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Nose-to-nose for both bots. Take a look at that, ShoveMaster on his side already! Is there any traction on ShoveMaster's tires, Bil?

 

BIL: It looks like there's just barely enough tire to help him back over and back over he is. Look at that wedge of ShoveMaster, it's bent inward, Sean.

 

SEAN: Oh my goodness, it's gone, the wedge is nearly gone! What's that going to do to ShoveMaster's driving?

BIL: It looks like it's unbalanced right where that remaining foot for the wedge is attached, Sean.

SEAN: Shreds-A-Lot dealing more punishment as we see him slamming ShoveMaster into the wall and to the Pulverizors.  ShoveMaster's in trouble as he is once again on his side.

 

BIL: ShoveMaster back over but with so much damage done to him, he needs a knockout or a winning Judges Decision. That's it, what a fight!

 

SEAN: So who's won this? Time for the official decision.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the 3 judges at arena side have turned in a 26-17 decision for....the blue square, SHREDS-A-LOT!

SEAN: A win for Shreds-A-Lot but ShoveMaster goes home. Who's in our last match up of the night?

BIL: Jim Smentowski's  Backlash has the spinning wheel of death for a blade and a rear wedge. Jim is from Novato, California New Cruelty is created by Richard Stuplich from Wasaw, Wisconsin. Its weapon is what looks to be a wedge.

 

SEAN: It's time for the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: He has 4 wheel drive, a solid frame and a nasty grudge, here is NEW CRUELTY! And his opponent, in the blue square: All opponents he has beaten have been left to die in despair. Welcome BACKLASH!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

RICHARD: I am ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

JIM: Ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Early punishment for Backlash by New Cruelty.

BIL: Backlash doesn't really stand much of a chance in this bout, Sean.

SEAN: No, he doesn't as he is constantly taking damage from both the Killsaws and the Pulverizors. Backlash on the Killsaws but they didn't rise.

 

BIL: It looks like our Killsaw camera caught the Killsaws falling through the hole so they're gone, Sean. This is just complete dominance by New Cruelty.

 

SEAN: All Backlash can do is hope for the Judges Decision and look at New Cruelty who is stuck in the wall as the seconds wind down. So who won? Let's go to Mark Beiro.

 

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the 3 judges at arena side have turned in a 23-22 decision for...the blue square, BACKLASH!

SEAN: So that's it, Round 3 is now ready to begin next week. Bil take us through the highlights.

BIL: Blade Runner takes the win after T-Minus' own flipper breaks down. Shreads-A-Lot showed ShoveMaster2000 that he has the better design and in our last match, Backlash proved you can win without much effort.

 

SEAN: For Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklarr and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. Round 3 of the tournament starts next week. We leave you now with the hit of the week. Goodnight.

Season 1, Episode 11

SEAN: The Battlebots tournament rages on as Dreadnaught teaches Toro that Battlebots is a different sport than bull-fighting. Then the destructive Hazard hopes to make sense out of Twin Paradox. Finally, Overkill goes malicious on Deadblow. Good evening and welcome to Battlebots everyone, I'm Sean Salisbury and here is my partner, Bil Dwyer.

 

BIL: Another round of robotic destruction to delight our readers, as well as ourselves, Sean.

SEAN: That's what Battlebots is all about, Bil. Letting our readers ooh and ah over the best fights. Speaking of fights, how does our first pair look?

 

BIL: Toro was created by Reason Bradley and Alexander Rose of Sausalito, California. His main weapon is a CO2 flipping arm. His opponent is Dreadnaught from Team Coolrobots' Christian Carleberg in North Hollywood, California. His weapons are a horizontal disk and rear wedge.

 

SEAN: Thank you Bil, now let's go to Mark Beiro for the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: All who despise him are torn to pieces. Here is DREADNAUGHT! And his opponent, in the blue square: It is the phrase used in bull fights, it is Spanish for bull and it is also the Battlebot poised to leave you with many broken bones, he's TORO!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

CHRISTIAN: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

REASON: I am ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Toro with a pop and a miss on Dreadnaught. Toro with the first flip of the match and it seemed to have done something to his flipper.

 

BIL: It looks to be stuck in the air, Sean. Toro with damage from the Killsaws, which seem to have helped Toro's flipper fall back into place.

 

SEAN: Toro with another flip on Dreadnaught. Looks to me like Toro's weapon is once again incapacitated, Bil.

BIL:  That's not good when it's his only weapon. Toro got another flip on Dreadnaught.

SEAN: A punishing blow by Dreadnaught and I think it was so punishing that both bots lost their weapons completely.

BIL: Dreadnaught still has the wedge left but I'm not sure what he can do with it, Sean. Oh man, Toro's on his side, just as I say it!

SEAN: That's it for Toro since he can't do anything from his side due to his flipper out, Bil. Dreadnaught's taking Toro to the Pulverizors and the referee is now beginning Toro's countdown.

 

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: Toro is out of the tournament so let's get the official statistics from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time, 1 minute, 15 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, in the red square DREADNAUGHT!

SEAN: So there you have it, Dreadnaught moves to round 3. How do our next competitors match up, Bil?

BIL:  Twin Paradox has interchangeable weapons but has decided to use the blade for this match and is invertible. His builders are. Michael Neese and Skunk-Tek of Charlotte, North Carolina. Hazard is the creation of Tony Buchignani and Dan Danick. He features a wedge and a steel spinning blade as weapons.

 

SEAN: It's that time once again, here's Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: He's a danger to all mankind, he leave a trail of destruction behind, and to all other robots he is most certainly unkind. Welcome HAZARD! And his opponent, in the blue square: Say something to him and he'll confuse the living daylights out of you. Here is TWIN PARADOX!

 

RED REF: Red drivers, are you ready?

TONY: We're ready!

RED REF: Red drivers are ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

MICHAEL: Ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Nose-to-nose from both bots. Hazard with the flip on Twin Paradox. Hazard with another flip on Twin Paradox.

 

BIL: Not much for Twin Paradox to do against Hazard, is there?

SEAN: It wouldn't seem like it unless he can rip Hazard's wedge off as we see another flip by Hazard. Hazard is clearly dominating this fight, Bil. Another couple of flips by Hazard. Oh goodness me, Twin Paradox lost his disc!

 

BIL: It went flying off in one piece, Sean! What a hit by Hazard!

SEAN: Hazard now underneath Twin Paradox and drives him to the Pulverizors. Oh my goodness, Hazard's lost his own blade! Take a look at that, Bil, Twin Paradox flipped Hazard over!

 

BIL: It was looking so promising for Hazard, wasn't it Sean?

SEAN: Yes it was, especially with all the flips Hazard did and the trip to the Pulverizor.

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

BIL:  Twin Paradox, a come from behind victory!

SEAN: Now let's get the official decision with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time: 2 minutes, 6 seconds. The winner, by a knock out, in the blue square, TWIN PARADOX!

SEAN: What an upset by Twin Paradox. Now who are our last competitors tonight, Sean?

BIL: Deadblow was created by Grant Imahara from Oakland California. He features a wedge and a flipper. Overkill has a wedge and a swinging knife-blade. He was built by Christian Carleberg of North Hollywood, California.

 

SEAN: As always, thank you, Bil now here's Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing in the red square to my right: He may be helpful in the kitchen for cutting celery and onions but he is also capable of leaving all opponents in many thin slices. Here is OVERKILL! And his opponent, in the blue square: Like a hawk to a dead carcass, this Battlebot looks for enemy robots to destroy. Introducing DEADBLOW!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

CHRISTIAN: I'm ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

GRANT: Ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Deadblow with the early flip on Overkill as we see Overkill get right back over.

 

BIL: Overkill doesn't really have anything he can use to get under Deadblow, does he, Sean?

SEAN: He has that wedge but it doesn't seem to be very effective as Deadblow flips him again. Look at Overkill, who finally is underneath Deadblow and slams him into the wall! Deadblow continues to be on the offensive as he slams Overkill into a set of spikes in the wall.

 

BIL: Both bots just took Killsaw damage, Sean.

SEAN: Kind of a shame for Deadblow as he was trying to avoid the Killsaws and simultaneously disable Overkill but neither one of those worked out well. A big slam into the wall by Overkill and it looks to me like Deadblow is stuck there.

 

BIL: Not sure whether he can get out of there, Sean as Overkill is trying to keep him there.

SEAN: It wasn't enough as Deadblow is free. Deadblow with yet another flip to Overkill. We're just about done with the match here and there's the buzzer. So who's won this bout? Let's go to Mark Beiro.

 

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the 3 judges at arena side have turned in an 18 to 14 decision for the red square, OVERKILL!

SEAN: Overkill takes the close 18 to 14 decision. Bil, take us through the highlights.

BIL: Dreadnaught advances to round 3 when despite weapon failure from both bots, he manages to flip the bull onto his side for the knockout. Twin Paradox moves on after being flipped end-over-end by Hazard. In our last match, Overkill outdoes Deadblow despite the many flips he received.

 

SEAN: Well for Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklarr and Bil Nye, until next time, I'm Sean Salisbury.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. There's more destruction next week as round two continues. See you then.

Season 1, Episode 10

SEAN: The chaos in our Battlebox rages on. Vlad II shows Mechadon who's boss. Nightmare hopes to show Sabotage that his victory is only a dream. Finally, Ziggo battles Minion II. Welcome to Battlebots everyone, I'm Sean Salisbury.

 

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. Tonight's matches look as awesome as ever, Sean.

SEAN: That's what makes Battlebots so great and why many people watch it, Bil.

BIL: It's also what is going to help keep the sport alive, Sean. Let's get right to our first match. Mechadon is astomp bot from the creator Mark Setrakian. Vlad II is built by Gauge Cauchois from Oakland California.

 

SEAN: As always, thank you Bil, now let's go to Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: He creeps, he crawls, he is scariest of all, he's MECHADON! And his opponent, in the blue square: Lurking in the blue corner is a deadly robot waiting to strike on enemy robots. Here is VLAD II!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

MARK: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

GAUGE: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Nose-to-nose attack from both Vlad II and Mechadon.

BIL: There isn't much to get underneath and lift with for Vlad II, Sean.

SEAN: Those walking legs of Mechadon don't allow for Vlad to really get in and push him around, Bil. There we see Vlad with a slam into the wall for Mechadon. Vlad trying his attack again and oh, take a look at that, he's on top of Mechadon's walking legs there and is being pushed forward, landing on his back but that's no problem for Vlad II as he gets right back over. Mechadon takes damage from the Killsaws.

 

BIL: Both robots flipped over, Sean!

SEAN: Won't matter for Vlad but I don't think Mechadon has the capabilities of self-righting from where he is, Bil, and it's too bad, especially since he's on the Killsaws, which aren't helping either. Vlad knows he's pretty much won this fight.

 

RED REF: 10......9........8........7.......6.......5.......4.......3......2......1

.......stop the match!

SEAN: So Vlad II moves to round 3. Let's get the official decision from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time, 1 minute 13 seconds, the winner by a knockout, in the blue square, VLAD II!

SEAN: Bil, tell us about our next pair.

BIL: Nightmare is the deadly creation of Jim Smentowski from Novato, California. Sabotage has a flipper that also works a s clamp. His builder isMatt Sabotino from Greenwood, Indiana.

 

SEAN: It's time for the introductions with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: If you think that victory is in your future when you face this deadly Battlebot, it's on a NIGHTMARE! And his opponent, in the blue square: Everywhere you go, you'll see this maniacal fiend screwing with other's plans. He's SABOTAGE!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

JIM: I am ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

MATT: Ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN:  The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Sabotage with the early flip, tossing Nightmare into the air.

BIL: Nightmare survived the flip, Sean, he's still on his feet!

SEAN: It is amazing that Nightmare lived but can he survive a second as he is tossed higher still into the air?

BIL: Nightmare lived again!

SEAN: Sabotage isn't quite so lucky, Bil, he's upside down, which is fine but his flipper isn't as powerful. Nightmare taking damage from the Killsaws. If you're Sabotage, you want to get back over so you can continue to rack up the points. There he goes, back over once again is Sabotage. Sabotage with another flip but it looks like he's trying to prevent Nightmare from landing on his blade so he can right himself.

 

BIL:  He looks like he's going to slam Nightmare into the wall and he does.

SEAN: Already a stunning performance by Sabotage as we wind down in this match, just about 30 seconds go now.

BIL: I think it's pretty clear who's won this bout, Sean.

SEAN: Let's find out from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the 3 judges at arena side have turned in a 23 to 17 decision, for the red square, SABOTAGE!

SEAN: So Sabotage makes it to a spot in round 3. What does our third match up look like, Bil?

BIL: Ziggo is a spinner created by Jonathan Ridder of San Jose, California. His opponent is Minion II, who was built by Christian Carleburg of North Hollywood, California.

 

SEAN: Time for the introductions with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: He has eight lives, destroys bee hives and leaves everyone else with no lives, he is ZIGGO! And his opponent, in the blue square: He tears at everyone's heads, he hides under everyone's beds and is the worst thing everyone's ever said, he's MINION II!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

JON: I am ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

CHRISTIAN: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Minion trying an early attack on Ziggo but Ziggo's dome seems to be interfering with his strategy as he tries the same move again only to once more get on top of Ziggo's dome. Ziggo on the attack for Minion II and Minion II's on his back now but is back over with no problem.

 

BIL: Minion flipped again!

SEAN: Not the third time as somehow Minion II escapes. Ziggo seems to be taking some damage. Oh my goodness, Ziggo's dome is gone!

 

BIL: What a hit! That's it for Ziggo, Sean.

SEAN: It is, Bil.

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: Ziggo out of the tournament and Minion moves on. Let's get the official statistics from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time: 1 minute 7 seconds. The winner, by a knock out, in the blue square, MINION II!

SEAN: Another exciting episode has come to a close. Bil take us through the highlights.

BIL: Vlad II advances after flipping the spider bot Mechadon over and out of the tournament. Sabotage takes the judges decision after tossing Nightmare every which way to jump to round 3. In our last match, Minion II takes an explosive win after destroying Ziggo in just over a minute.

 

SEAN: For Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklarr and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. There's plenty more robot carnage next week. We leave you now with the hit of the week. Goodnight.

Season 1, Episode 9

SEAN: It's the start of round 2 for our tournament. First it's a battle of the wedges between Minion and Ankle Biter. Then Diesector sees if he can take down The Devil himself. Finally, El Diablo tries to avoid defeat from Panic Attack. Welcome to round 2 of Battlebots, everyone. I'm Sean Salisbury and enjoying the carnage with me is Bil Dwyer.

 

BIL: Thank you, Sean. Our first pair puts two wedge bots head-to-head. Minion is a wedge with a rear fireman's saw. His builder is Christian Carleburg from North Hollywood, California. Ankle Biter also has a wedge but included in that wedge is his saw blade. He was built by John McKenzie of Ukiah, California.

 

SEAN: Now it's time for the introductions with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: Those who have seen this maniacal Battlebot run away in fear of losing a foot. Here is ANKLE BITER! And his opponent, in the blue square: He won't come to your rescue if he finds you dead on the floor. In fact, he'll leave you in tiny shambles. Introducing MINION!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

JOHN: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you read?

CHRISTIAN: I am ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN:  The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Nose-to-nose by Ankle Biter and Minion. Minion up under Ankle Biter but Ankle Biter escapes.

 

BIL: Ankle Biter seems to be having trouble getting under Minion, Sean. Minion takes Ankle Biter to the Pulverizors and Ankle Biter taking a beating!

 

SEAN: Oh, Minion flipped by Ankle Biter!

BIL: I certainly didn't see that coming, Sean.

SEAN: It was certainly possible but I had my doubts. Minion's back on his wheels again.

BIL: Look at Ankle Biter! Minion nearly has him on his back end!

SEAN: Minion unable to put Ankle Biter on his back and Ankle Biter with a big hit as we see Minion's self-righting mechanism go flying off.

BIL: Take a look at Minion's side, Sean. That hit definitely ripped open Minion's side.

SEAN: Minion on the aggressive again and he's trying to take Ankle Biter to the Pulverizors but can't seem to do it as the match ends.

BIL:  A close match, Sean.

SEAN: Let's go to Mark Beiro for the decision.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the 3 judges at arena side have turned in a 18 to 13 decision for the red square, ANKLE BITER!

SEAN:  Ankle Biter knocks Minion out of the tournament. How do our next competitors match up, Bil?

BIL:  Diesector is the creation of Donald Hutson from San Diego, California. His opponent is The Devil, whose builder is Zach Bieber from Monrovia, California.

 

SEAN: Thanks a lot, Bil now let's get the intros from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square, to my right: All of his opponents are ripped open and left to die. He just does things and never says why, he's DIESECTOR! And his opponent, in the blue square: Feared by all, he has no mercy for anyone, he's THE DEVIL!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

DON: I'm ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

ZACH: I am ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Diesector with a big slam to The Devil.

BIL: I don't know what good that wedge of The Devil will do to Diesector but it doesn't seem to be working as Diesector hits The Devil hard again.

 

SEAN: A third punishing blow by Diesector!

BIL: I think it was so punishing that The Devil is out.

SEAN: He is out as we can now see the innards of The Devil.

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

BIL: That was a sweet fight! Diesector movin' on!

SEAN:  Let's get the official decision from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman. The time: 1 minute, 14 seconds. The winner, by a knockout and advancing to round 3: The red square, DIESECTOR!

 

SEAN: What a brilliant display from Donald Hutson. How does our last match for tonight shape up?

BIL: Kim Davies' Panic Attack has two electronically driven lifting forks and wedge skirts on 3 sides. El Diablo is the creation of Zach Bieber from Monrovia, California.

 

SEAN: As always, thanks Bil. It's time for the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: Never stay out after midnight or you'll find this behemoth roaming about and he will destroy you! Welcome PANIC ATTACK! And his opponent, in the blue square: This fiend lurks in the shadows of every corner waiting for its next victim to show. Here is EL DIABLO!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

KIM: I'm ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

ZACH: I am ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Look at Panic Attack with the early almost flip there! El Diablo trying to get underneath but just doesn't seem to have anything to help out.

 

BIL: It's those forks of Panic Attack, Sean. They're quite powerful and they're already showing El Diablo what they can do as he is nearly flipped again but Panic Attack hits him into the wall.

 

SEAN: There goes Panic Attack with the first official flip of this match.

BIL: El Diablo back in this now but what does he have against Panic Attack?

SEAN: I don't know but he needs to find a weakness in Panic Attack but it may be too late as we see Panic Attack flipping him and wedging El Diablo's spinning barrel of death between the wall and the floor of the Battlebox. This looks to be it for El Diablo as he can't right himself in that position.

 

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

BIL: That's it! What a fight!

SEAN: Total domination by Panic Attack. Time for the official decision.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time,  1 minute, 51 seconds. The winner, by a knockout and advancing to the 3rd round: The red square, PANIC ATTACK!

 

SEAN: What an awesome way to open round 2. Bil, take us through the highlights.

BIL: Ankle Biter takes out Minion after a close show down of the wedges. Diesector destroyed The Devil to move on to round 2 and in our last match, Panic Attack was too much for El Diablo and advances to the next round.

 

SEAN: Well for Heidi Mark, Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklarr, I'm Sean Salisbury.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. Goodnight.

Season 1, Episode 8

SEAN: It's the last battles to fill the remaining slots for round 2. Dr. P.A.I.N. trades shots with Shreds-A-Lot. Then FrenZy dukes it out with the menacing Backlash and finally, Dr. Inferno Jr. does his own surgical procedure on New Cruelty. Hello everyone and welcome to our final battles for round 1 of Battlebots. I'm Sean Salisbury.

 

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer.

SEAN: Strap yourselves in, everybody because here come our last bots to enter round 2. Let's begin with our first 2 opponents.

BIL: Shreds-A-Lot is a wedge with 3 spinning saw blades. His builder is George Hazard from East Windsor, New Jersey. His opponent is Dr. P.A.I.N., also built by George Hazard but is driven by Carlo Bertoccini for this fight.

 

SEAN: Time for Mark Beiro's introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square, to my right: Opponents he has faced have begged for mercy but he rips them limb from limb because he's SHREDS-A-LOT! And his opponent, in the blue square: Much more than just your average boxing glove, he leaves all who despise him in a mangled heap on the floor. Introducing DR.P.A.I.N.!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

GEORGE: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

CARLO: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Shreds-A-Lot with the early punishment on Dr. P.A.I.N. Looks like PAIN is stuck against the wall, Bil.

 

BIL: Yeah, Sean. Oh wait he's back over. I think PAIN is outmatched, here, Sean.

SEAN: Sure looks like it, Bil. Nice punishing blow into the wall by SAL! Oh look at that, PAIN is stuck on one of the spikes for the Spike Strip!

 

BIL: That's it for him, Sean. His wheels aren't even touching the ground.

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: The ref's counting him out so it would appear that SAL has won this bout. Let's go to Mark Beiro for the official decision.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time 1 minute, 18 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, in the red square, SHREDS-A_LOT!

SEAN: There you have it Shreds-A-Lot moving on. Bil, tell us about our next pair.

 

BIL: FrenZy has a titanium battle axe. His builder is Patrick Campbell of Steven Ranch, California. His opponent is Backlash who is armed with the spinning wheel of death as we call it and a back wedge. His creator is Jim Smentowski from Novato California.

 

SEAN: Thanks Bil now let's go to Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: He smashes and crashes, he trashes and clashes he's FRENZY! And his opponent, in the blue square: Using his wicked spinning blade, he will  tear you up so that you need first aid. Here is BACKLASH!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

PATRICK: I am ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

JIM: I am definitely ready

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Backlash with the early attack on FrenZy as we see FrenZy on his back.

BIL: FrenZy back on his feet, Sean.

SEAN: Look at Backlash, who flips FrenZy again! FrenZy with the self-right but Backlash isn't allowing FrenZy to right and slams him into the wall. FrenZy free now and what a hit by Backlash!

 

BIL: FrenZy went flying, Sean! Now he's stuck on top of our arena wall! Look at Backlash taking shots at him!

SEAN: Seems like Backlash has freed FrenZy from the wall, which probably isn't the smartest thing to do. FrenZy taking damage from the Killsaws and another big blow from Backlash as the buzzer sounds.

 

BIL: Now that was a fight, Sean.

SEAN: It certainly was and let's go to Mark Beiro for the Judges Decision.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the 3 judges at arena side have turned in a 27 to 24 decision for the blue square, BACKLASH!

SEAN: So Backlash moving on to round 2. Now let's move on to our final bout. Bil, what do you know about them?

BIL: Dr. Inferno Jr. was the creation of Jason Bardis from Santa Barbra ,California. His opponent is New Cruelty, a 4-wheeled bot, used to be 8-wheeled and his builder is Richard Stuplich from Wasaw, Wisconsin.

 

SEAN: Now it's time for Mark Beiro with the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: He has four-wheel drive, a solid frame and an amazing grudge he's NEW CRUELTY! And his opponent, in the blue square: This bot often sends his opponents to the hospital, he's DR. INFERNO JR.!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

RICHARD: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

JASON: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Dr. Inferno Jr. underneath New Cruelty but New Cruelty slips away.

BIL: New Cruelty doesn't have anything against the doctor, Sean.

SEAN: Well maybe not as Dr. Inferno Jr. nearly toppled on his own attack, Bil.  Oh, take a look at that, Dr. Inferno Jr. is on his back!

BIL: That's it for Dr. Inferno Jr.

SEAN: New Cruelty with a slam into the wall!

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: New Cruelty takes the final slot for round 2. Bil, take us through the highlights.

BIL: Shreds-A-Lot knocks out  Dr. P.A.I.N. after he becomes stuck on the Spike Strip.  Backlash advances on a Judges Decision for beating FrenZy. In our last match, New Cruelty put the doctor to sleep.

 

SEAN: Well for Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklarr and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. Stay tuned for the second round of the Battlebots tournament, next week. Goodnight.

Season 1, Episode 7:

SEAN: Strap yourselves in for the age of robotic destruction is upon us. First, Atomic Wedgie tries to out-maneuver T-Minus. Then Blade Runner and Atomic 2 trade slams. Finally, Techno Destructo battles ShoveMaster2000. Good evening and welcome to yet another night of pure destruction, I'm Sean Salisbury.

 

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. Tonight we have 6 more bots ready to tear up their opponents. Here's our first pair. Atomic Wedge is a wedge that is the same on both top and bottom. It features dual trifoils and was built by Robert Everhart, Charlie Payne and Tom Corrie from Columbia, Maryland. His opponent is T-Minus, a bot from the team of Inertia Labs. His builders are Zander Rose and Reason Bradley of Sausalito, California.

 

SEAN: Thanks Bil, now lets go to Mark Beiro for the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square, to my right: He leaves all opponents dazed and out of commission. Those who have yet to face him fear his wrath will get them next because he's ATOMIC WEDGIE! And in the Blue Square: He boasts a wicked flipping arm and a nasty grudge on all who oppose him. Welcome T-MINUS!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

ROBERT: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

REASON: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Oh, look at T-Minus, who strikes an early flip on Atomic Wedgie!

BIL: It's no problem for Atomic Wedgie, he can right himself, Sean. However, T-Minus seems to be struggling to work his flipper.

SEAN: That's not a good sign as Atomic Wedgie delivers a punishing blow to T-Minus. A second blow and T-Minus is kind of inverted.

BIL: He's driving on his flipper, Sean!

SEAN: Take a look at the big blow these two made as

T-Minus is on his back right now.

BIL: T-Minus' flipper is good but it struggles when

T-Minus isn't on his back, Sean.

SEAN: True but T-Minus seems to have overcome the problem as he's back on his wheels, Bil. Oh my goodness! Atomic Wedgie's on his roof! If you're Atomic Wedgie, you need to get back over quickly or you'll be counted out.

 

BIL: I don't see that happening, Sean. His righting top is on the outside, so I think this one's over.

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: So there it is, T-Minus moving on. Let's go to Mark Beiro for the results.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time, 1 minute, 30 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, in the Blue Square, T-MINUS!

SEAN: How do our next match ups look, Bil?

BIL: Atomic 2 was also built by Robert Everhart and is the same basic wedge design with spinning tri-foils. His opponent is Blade Runner, who has had some changes, like the new wedge and spinning blade. He was built by Ilya Polyakov from Dix Hills, New York.

 

SEAN: As always, thanks Bill. Let's go to Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing first, in the Red Square: To deal with his opponents he spins and spins and when he is through with them he wins and wins because he's BLADE RUNNER! And his opponent, in the Blue Square: If you every see this maniacal Battlebot lurking in your hedges, it's because you're on his menu of defeat. Please welcome ATOMIC 2!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

ROBERT: I am ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

ILYA: Ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Both robots with a nose-to-nose hit and Blade Runner appears to be stuck by those Killsaws, Bil.

 

BIL: He sure does, Sean. Guess he's free now.

SEAN: Look at Atomic 2, who just lost one of his side panels there!

BIL: What a hit! Atomic 2 still movin', though. Blade Runner's on his back now!

SEAN: Just like that he's back onto his feet. Oh, now Atomic 2 doing damage to Blade Runner as Blade Runner just lost his back wedge and is flipped over!

 

BIL: Take a look at Atomic 2, Sean. He's on his back end, his self-righting top is helpless. We just saw this in our last bout. Poor Robert.

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN:  So another one of Robert's robots knocked out of the competition. Let's get the official decision from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time, 2 minutes, 10 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, in the Blue Square, BLADE RUNNER!

SEAN: That's two more robots moving onto the next round, Bil. So who are our last two competitors and what do you know about them?

BIL: Plenty, Sean. Techno Destructo was the creation of Sean Irvin of Melbourne, Florida. He has a strong flipper that can also act as a wedge. ShoveMaster2000, has a plow-like weapon at the front. His builder is George Hazard from Trenton, NJ.

 

SEAN: Thanks Bil, now lets go to the floor with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the Red Square, to my right: This flipping fiend launches and destroys his opponents with overwhelming force. He's TECHNO DESTRUCTO! And his opponent, in the Blue Square: When it comes to battling in the Battlebox, he shoves and shoves. When it comes to defeat, he does what nobody loves. He's SHOVEMASTER2000!

 

SEAN: the box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! ShoveMaster immediately on the attack on Techno Destructo and it looks to me like Techno Destructo is stuck, Bil.

 

BIL: Yeah, his wheel is on the outside of the arena, Sean. I don't think he's getting out of there.

SEAN: Not with ShoveMaster delivering more blows to him.

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: So a quick victory for George Hazard, Bil. Let's go to Mark Beiro for the official decision.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time, 1 minute, 5 seconds. The winner, by a knockout, in the Blue Square, SHOVEMASTER2000!

SEAN: Take us through the bouts again, Bil.

BIL: T-Minus is moving on, despite Atomic Wedgies early attacks, after getting Atomic Wedgie onto his roof. Blade Runner advances after trading hits with Atomic 2 and knocking him on his back and out of the tournament. In our last match, ShoveMaster2000 makes a quick slam, ending the reign of the flipper bot Techno Destructo.

 

SEAN: For everyone on our team, Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklarr and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. Stay tuned as the Battlebots tournament continues next week.

Season 1, Episode 6:

SEAN: Another night of robot carnage is upon us as Twin Paradox tries to show Mauler 5150 who's boss. The knife-thrower Overkill tries to hack the saw bot Ginsu. Finally, Mechavore and Deadblow have a feast on one another. Good evening and welcome to another of our weekly slamfests, I'm Sean Salisbury.

 

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer.

SEAN: Tonight's fights are looking to dish out more amazing hits. Let's bring on our first competitors.

BIL: Mauler 5150 is a spinner with swinging flails on the sides. His builder is Charles Tilford of Portola Valley, California. Twin Paradox is a box with a disc at the front. He was built by Michael Neese and Skunk-Tek of Charlotte, North Carolina.

 

SEAN: Let's go to Mark Beiro for the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: This deadly Battlebot has sent numerous opponents running home. Here is TWIN PARADOX! And his opponent, in the blue square: Don't ever turn your back to this mighty spinner of doom or you'll end up in thousands of pieces. Please welcome MAULER 5150!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

MICHAEL: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue drivers, are you ready?

CHARLES: You're darn right we are!

BLUE REF: Blue drivers are ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Already punishment to Twin Paradox as he is now upside down. That's what Mauler brings to the table! Twin Paradox takes damage from the Killsaws.

 

BIL: Twin Paradox on his back now, doesn't hurt him though, as his wheels are still on the ground, Sean.

SEAN: Another punishing blow by Mauler and it looks as though Twin Paradox has better turning radius than he normally has right now, Bil. Something was hit from that attack. Oh my goodness! Mauler's on his back!

 

BIL: Mauler, Mauler, Mauler, how many times have we seen this?

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: Well Mauler gets to ride home as Twin Paradox advances. Lets' go to Mark Beiro for the results.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time, 1 minute, 25 seconds. The winner by a knockout and advancing to the next round, the red square, TWIN PARADOX!

 

SEAN: So Twin Paradox kicks the deadly Mauler out of the tournament. Now for our next match up and my partner Bil has the statistics of our competitors.

 

BIL: Indeed, Sean. Overkill was built by Christian Carleberg of North Hollywood California. It has a wedge in front and a swinging knife in back. Ginsu was built by Trey Roski. His weapons are many saw blades that also act as wheels.

 

SEAN: Thanks Bil, now lets go to the floor with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square, to my right: Never stare at this knife throwing Battlebot for he'll slice you in two! Here is OVERKILL! And his opponent, in the blue square: Every opponent he has faced has been turned into only shards of metal. Introducing GINSU!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

CHRISTIAN: I'm ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

TREY: Ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Overkill trying to gain an early lead on Ginsu but Ginsu's not letting him. Take a look at that, Overkill's been flipped by Ginsu!

 

BIL: You don't usually expect a bot like Ginsu to flip anything except itself when it rolls onto another set of its saws.

SEAN: No, you don't, Bil and it's amazing that Ginsu  didn't flip himself in the process. Ginsu drives Overkill to the Pulverizors!

 

BIL: Overkill looks to be stuck with the Spike Strip, Sean.

SEAN: Not quite for Overkill's wheels are still on the ground, Bil.  There comes Overkill's escape. Not a lot of offensive play by either Battlebot.  Ginsu's on his side, so this one is over!

 

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: Overkill's moving on to face either Deadblow or Mechavore. Let's get the official decision from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time, 1 minute, 33 seconds. The winner, by knockout, in the red square, OVERKILL!

SEAN: There you have it, Overkill moving on. Now lets get to our final bout.

BIL: Mechavore has a nasty disc at the front and a rear wedge. His builder is   Deadblow was built by Grand Imahara of Los Angeles , California. His weapon is a pneumatic flipper and wedge at the front.

 

SEAN: Time for introductions with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a Battlebot out to destroy you! He's DEADBLOW! And his opponent, in the blue square: Many have tried to stop this rampaging behemoth from advancing to the next round but all have failed when faced with MECHAVORE!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

GRANT: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

ROBERT: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Deadblow with an attempted flip on Mechavore but Mechavore escapes.

BIL: Mechavore's a lot smaller than Deadblow, Sean, he's gotta be careful or Deadblow will flip him over.

SEAN: Mechavore escapes the Killsaws. Mechavore not showing a lot of offensive play, right now. He seems to be almost running away from Deadblow.

 

BIL: Not a bad idea considering how vulnerable he is to flipping, Sean.

SEAN: Speaking of flipping, Bil, Mechavore's been flipped by the Killsaws!

BIL: That's it, Deadblow movin' on.

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! stop the match!

SEAN: Now for the official decision with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time, 33 seconds. The winner, by a knock out, in the red square, DEADBLOW!

SEAN: Well yet another night of robotic destruction comes to a close so for Randy and Jason Sklarr, Donna Dierrico and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury.

 

BIL: And I'm Bil Dwyer. Join us next time for more robot carnage. Goodnight.

Season 1, Episode 5:

SEAN: We're serving up 3 courses of robotic destruction as Question Mark battles Dreadnaught. The bull Toro tries to win in the trial against The Judge and finally, if you're still hungry, watch as Hazard and Tazbot fight for the next round. Hello and welcome to yet another smash-filled night. I'm Sean Salisbury and the man to my left is Bil Dwyer. I can see that with these bouts we will not only have winners and losers but great fights.

 

BIL: I'm with you on that, Sean.

SEAN: Bil, introduce our fans to our first competitors.

BIL: Question Mark is a Biohazard-like design. Built by Carlo Bertocchini from Belmont California. Dreadnaught was built by Christian Carlberg from North Hollywood, California. He has a rear wedge and a horizontal spinning disc for weapons.

 

SEAN: Let's go to Mark Beiro for the introductions.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: This is not a dangerous material, it is also an exact duplicate of another Battlebot. Please welcome QUESTION MARK! And his opponent, in the blue square: The only thing on the minds of other Battlebots when they face this maniacal demon is to avoid his deadly blade at all costs because he's DREADNAUGHT!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

CARLO: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

CHRISTIAN: I am ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Question Mark on the left, Dreadnaught on the right as we see Dreadnaught stuck in one of the slots for the Killsaws. Dreadnaught being pushed to the Pulverizors and Dreadnaught doesn't quite escape.

 

BIL: Dreadnaught might want to back into Question Mark and use the wedge, Sean. Oh man, a big hit by Dreadnaught! What an effective wedge, Sean!

 

SEAN: It is very effective, Bil as we see Dreadnaught again delivering punishment to Question Mark and Question Mark is starting to fall apart, one of his side skirts is gone and a piece of his top armor is missing. Question Mark has got to start finding weaknesses in Dreadnaught if he is to win this fight, Bil.

 

BIL: Yeah, I don't see any signs of Question Mark getting under Dreadnaught at all, Sean.

SEAN: There's a slight shove by Question Mark but he's going to have to do better as Dreadnaught makes another slam into the wall and Question Mark is on his back and in trouble. Oh they're counting him out now as the Pulverizor continues to pound away.  Let's go to Mark Beiro for the official decision.

 

MARK: Ladies' and gentleman, the time: 2 minutes, 8 seconds. The winner, by knockout and advancing to the next round: the blue square, Dreadnaught!

 

SEAN: There you have it, Dreadnaught moving on. Now for round 2. What do you know about these two, Bil?

BIL: Plenty, Sean. Toro was built by Reason Bradley from Sausalito, California. His main weapon is a CO2 powered flipper. His opponent is The Judge, whose main weapon is a long axe-like weapon. He was built by Jascha Little from Austin Texas.

 

SEAN: It's that time again, here's Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: He helps solve court cases, he punishes the bad and he takes his problems out on other robots, he's THE JUDGE! And his opponent, in the blue square: You will not see him flipping pancakes, you will not see him as a car jack, you will see him beating the crap out of other robots. He's TORO!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

JACHA: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

REASON: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! The Judge with an early attack on Toro but only struck the flipper. Toro seeming to be struggling to find an opening to flip The Judge over, Bil.

 

BIL: Yeah, The Judge doesn't have many ways of being flipped, Sean, he's so low to the ground that the flipper would have to be practically touching the floor to get underneath.

 

SEAN: Toro's weapon looks to be incapacitated but he still slams the Judge into the wall and onto his side! The Judge looks to be in major trouble, Bil as we see him being pushed to the Pulverizors.

 

BIL: There are a lot of blows being done by the Pulverizor, right now. I think Toro has won this, Sean.

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: So Toro moves on after losing his weaponry. Lets' go to Mark Beiro for the official results.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time: 1 minute, 29 seconds. The winner, by knockout, in the blue square, Toro!

SEAN: Now for our final competitors, tonight. Bil, talk about these two.

BIL: With pleasure, Sean. Hazard is a wedge with a spinning bar on top. His builders are Tony Buchignani and Dan Danick. Tazbot was built by Donald Hutson of San Diego California. His weapon is a 360 degree turret and side wedges.

 

SEAN: It's time for the official introductions with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right: Don't think you can hide from this nasty monster. He'll turn you inside out because he's TAZBOT! And his opponent in the blue square: He has a small wedge and a nasty spinning blade. When he's done with you, you'll need more than a few stitches. Introducing HAZARD!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

DON: I'm definitely ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

TONY:  Ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Tazbot trying to use his turret to get under Hazard, which is a good strategy if he can do so and flip Hazard over.

 

BIL: Doesn't seem to be working, Sean as Hazard just brutally slammed Tazbot into the wall and I think he may be already knocked out.

SEAN: He doesn't appear to be knocked out but rather stuck. He's trying to use his pickaxe to free himself but it's not working either. Take a look now as they seem to have snagged Hazard and have flipped him over.

 

BIL: Too bad, though, as it seems like Hazard's moving on anyway.

RED REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

SEAN: Hazard is definitely moving on, lets go to Mark Beiro for the official decision.

MARK: Ladies and gentleman, the time: 1 minute,. 44 seconds. The winner by knock out and advancing to the next round, Hazard!

SEAN: Another jam-packed night of robot domination. Take us through the highlights, Bil.

BIL: Dreadnaught dominated Question Mark by slamming him into the wall and flipping him over, then letting the Pulverizor finish him off. In the second bout, despite Toro's loss of his flipping arm, he managed to get The Judge under the Pulverizor for a quick knockout. In our last bout, Hazard moves on after Tazbot gets stuck in the spikestrip but still managed to flip Hazard over.

 

SEAN: Well for Randy and Jason Sklarr, Donna Dierrico and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury.

BIL: I'm Bil Dwyer. Join us next time for more robotic annihilation. Goodnight.

Season 1, Episode 4:

SEAN: The dawn of destruction has arrived as Sabotage battles Dooall. Minion II tries some slicing and dicing against Dr. Indestructible. Finally, Tentomushi 8.0 trades blows with Ziggo. Hello and welcome to another slamfest, I'm Sean Salisbury and he's Bil Dwyer.

 

BIL: That I am, Sean and we have another 3 Battlebots thirsty for robot carnage.

SEAN: Bill, tell our viewers about are first Battlebots tonight.

BIL: Dooall, once a treaded bot is now a four-wheeled bot. He still has the pneumatic ram and was built by Scot Lavally from San Rafael, California. His opponent is Sabotage. He has a flipper, which also can act as a wedge. His builder is Matt Sabotino of Greenwood, California.

 

SEAN: Thanks Bil, now let's go to Mark Beiro for the introductions.

MARK: Introducing first, in the red square to my right: This isn't an ordinary spatula. It is not designed to swat flies, it is designed to destroy other robots. Welcome SABOTAGE! And his opponent, in the blue square: He won't do some of it, he won't do most of it he'll do it all because he's DOOALL!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

SCOT: Ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

MATT: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Sabotage with an early flip on Dooall. Sabotage continuing to be the early aggressor as he once again flips Dooall. Oh, look at that as Dooall slams Sabotage into the wall!

 

BIL: Both are well-made bots, this one's going the distance, Sean.

SEAN: There goes another blow by Sabotage and it looks to me like Dooall is stuck.

BIL: Sure does, Sean, but he's free now.

SEAN: Dooall's taking Sabotage to the Pulverizors!

BIL: Two great pounding blows by the Pulverizor!

SEAN: Take a look at Sabotage, who is now on his back, he's in trouble.

BIL: Yeah he is, especially since his flipper can't get underneath Dooall at all.

SEAN: A big slam by Sabotage and both robots seem incapacitated, Bil.

BIL: They are, so the refs will have to pause and free the bots.

SEAN: Dooall strikes back with a slam of his own and Sabotage has been flipped back over. We're down to about 30 seconds and Sabotage flips Dooall once again.

 

BIL: What a fight by these two!

SEAN: Let's go to Mark Beiro for the Judges Decision.

MARK: The 3 judges at arena side have turned in a 29-21 decision, for the red square, SABOTAGE!

SEAN: Dooall goes home, now let's start our next match up. What do you know about these robots, Bil?

BIL: Minion II is pretty much his longer-wedged robot Minion except that this one has two saws instead of one. Built by Christian Carleburg in North Hollywood, California. Dr. Indestructible has a 3-wheel drive, letting him move 360 degrees. He was built by George Hazard in Trenton, New Jersey.

 

SEAN:  Let's go down to Mark Beiro with the statistics.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square, to my right: If you're expecting to leave with all your limbs attached, think again for you're fighting MINION II! And his opponent in the blue square:  His objective: destroy other robots, his plan: slam maliciously, his name: DR INDESTRUCTIBLE!

 

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin time! Dr. Indestructible getting underneath Minion II but can't seem to move him to one of the hazards. Take a look, now as  Dr. Indestructible is flipped onto his side, then onto his back from the Killsaws. Dr. Indestructible seems to be dominating this fight as he lifts Minion and slams him into the wall.

 

BIL: Something's wrong with Dr. Indestructible, Sean, he can't seem to free himself from the wall.

SEAN: He appears to be stuck somehow between the wall and the edge of the floor, Bil. Minion's just taking cheap shots at Dr. Indestructible but he's moving on.

 

BLUE REF: 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!

 

SEAN: Minion II moving on. Let's get the official decision from Mark Beiro.

MARK: Ladies and gentlemen, the time, 1 minute, 55 seconds, the winner, by knockout, in the red square, Minion II!

SEAN: Now for our last pair of Battlebots

BIL: Tentomush 8.0 is pretty much a sandbox on wheels. Built by Lisa Winter of Walnut Creek California. Her opponent is Ziggo, a spinner,  built by John Ridder of San Jose, California.

 

SEAN: Time for the introductions with Mark Beiro.

MARK: Introducing, in the red square to my right, she may look cute and cuddly but she'll tear you limb from limb. Please welcome TENTOMUSHI 8.0! And her opponent, in the blue square:  The only respect he shows is by totally annihilating his opponents. Introducing ZIGGO!

 

RED REF: Red driver, are you ready?

LISA: I'm ready!

RED REF: Red driver is ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver, are you ready?

JON: I'm ready!

BLUE REF: Blue driver is ready!

SEAN: The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Tentomushi with an early flip but Ziggo uses that flag on top to self-right and does so. Ziggo seems to be the more aggressive, right now, Bil.

 

BIL: That's right, Sean. Ziggo on the Killsaws right now.

SEAN: Ziggo seems to be taking damage from these hits but yet he keeps going as he flips Tentomushi over. Lisa Winter, a good driver, showing quite a bit now as Ziggo is flipped once again. Oh my goodness, look at the hit just delivered by Tentomushi!

 

BIL: Tentomushi just tore Ziggo apart! Oh man, what a hit!

SEAN: We have just under 30 seconds to go and Ziggo's unable to self-right because he's up against the wall.

BIL: What an awesome fight!

SEAN: It was indeed awesome, Bil, let's go to Mark Beiro for the results.

MARK: The 3 judges at arena side have turned in a 27-23 decision for the blue square, ZIGGO!

SEAN: Amazingly, Ziggo goes through but he's going to need some major repairs before his next fight. Well another great slam-filled night. Bil take us through the hits once more time.

 

BIL: Sabotage out flipped and out maneuvered Dooall to move on. Minion II shows Dr. Indestructible that there's no such thing as an indestructible bot and heads to the next round. Finally, despite being blown to pieces by Tentomushi, Ziggo advances to the next round.

 

SEAN: For Randy and Jason Sklar, Donna Dierrico and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury.

BIL: And I'm Bil Dwyer. Goodnight.

Season 1, Episode 3:

"It's a day of robot demolition on Battlebots! Vlad II wants to put Ronin to an early grave, Mechadon and Grendel try survival of the fittest and if you're still thirsty for robot annihilation, we're serving up a glass of pain and punishment as Nightmare takes on Warhead. Hello everyone and welcome to another smashing fight-filled night, I'm Sean Salisbury," began Sean.

 

"And I'm Bil Dwyer," added Bil.

"Bil, we have 3 more rounds of robotic destruction to get through, tonight. Tell us about our first pair of Battlebots," continued Sean.

 

"Vlad II was built by Gauge Cauchois from Oakland California. He has two lifting forks at the front and a self-righting mechanism on top to right him if flipped over. His opponent is Ronin, who has a spinning saw blade. His creator, Peter Abrahamson, is from Burbank, California," explained Bil.

 

"Let's go to Mark Beiro for the introductions," suggested Sean.

"Introducing, in the red square, to my right: This sinister robot will not leave until every limb you have is torn off. Welcome RONIN! And his opponent, in the blue square, other robots may have flippers, some have axes but this one bares two lifting forks and he's going to use them on you, please welcome VLAD II!" shouted Mark.

 

"Red driver, are you ready?" asked Red Square Ref.

"I'm ready!" answered Gage.

"Red driver is ready!" echoed Red Square Ref.

"Blue driver, are you ready?" asked Blue Square Ref.

"Ready!" replied Peter Abrahamson.

"Blue driver is ready!" repeated Blue Square Ref.

"The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Vlad II already under Ronin but Ronin is able to get away," resumed Sean.

 

"I don't think Ronin will get any where with that blade or with that high ground clearance, Sean," noted Bil.

"That is true, Bil as we now see Vlad flipping Ronin over but Ronin's not stuck because his flags have the ability to self-right," agreed Sean.

 

"Vlad again on the aggressive with a slam into the wall! Ronin doesn't seem to be doing much," stated Bil.

"No but he is hanging in there. Take a look at that, Vlad has slammed Ronin into the corner with the Pulverizor and I think he's incapacitated!" noticed Sean.

 

"That Pulverizor is definitely pounding on him, Sean. I think Ronin is definitely out," concluded Bil.

"Yes he is, Bil," agreed Sean.

"10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!" declared Blue Square Ref.

"So Vlad II runs to the next round. Now we go to our next round," said Sean.

"Mechadon is a stomp bot built by Mark Setrakian. Grendel has a spring-loaded hammer and was built by Daniel Rupert," analyzed Bi.

"It's that time again so let's go to Mark Beiro," said Sean.

"Introducing, in the red square to my right: he crawls up your walls, he scurries down your halls he's the bug that is scary-looking overall, he's MECHADON! And his opponent, in the blue square: Once he finds you, you are on his menu of defeat! Introducing GRENDEL!" announced Mark.

 

"Red driver, are you ready?" asked Red Square Ref.

"Ready!" replied Mark Setrakian.

"Red driver is ready!" called Red Square Ref.

"Blue driver, are you ready?" questioned Blue Square Ref.

"I am ready!" nodded Daniel Rupert.

"Blue driver is ready!" repeated Blue Square Ref.

"The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Both bots not able to do much since both are low to the ground and don't have any type of wedge or flipper. It should be a 3-minute match, Bil," noted Sean.

 

"Unless one of them is flipped by the Killsaws or something, I think you're right, Sean," protested Bil.

"Grendel now slamming Mechadon into the wall but not enough to flip him. Take a look now, as he shoves Mechadon under the Pulverizors!" reacted Sean.

 

"Grendel also took a shot from the Pulverizors and now the Killsaws!" noted Bil.

"Looks like Mechadon's caught in between the spikes in the wall, Bil," analyzed Sean.

"Yeah, I don't think he'll be able to get out of there but he's certainly trying and is free," agreed Bil.

"We're under a minute to go now as Grendel with yet another slam into the wall," stated Sean.

"What a fight!" shouted Bil excitedly.

"Yes, it will be difficult to determine the winner, Bil," realized Sean.

"How did Mechadon advance, Sean?" asked Bil.

"I'm not sure I understand it either, Bil, but I think it may have had something to do with aggression. Now let's go for our final bout. What do you know about these next two robots, Bil?" replied Sean.

"A lot, Nightmare has a very powerful spinning disc. He was built by Jim Smentowski from Novato, California. Warhead was built by Vinny Blood from Bournemouth," elaborated Bil.

 

"Let's go to Mark Beiro for the introductions," requested Sean.

"Introducing, in the red square to my right: This isn't a dream, you're really fighting this deadly robot. He's none other than your worst NIGHTMARE! And his opponent, in the blue square: Mess with him and he'll leave you with nothing but a grinding headache. He's WARHEAD!" shared Mark.

 

"Red driver, are you ready?" asked Red Square Ref.

"Ready!" said Jim

"Red driver is ready!" repeated Red Square Ref.

"Blue driver, are you ready?" asked Blue Square Ref.

"I'm ready!" replied Vincent Blood.

"Blue driver is ready!" repeated Blue Square Ref.

"The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Take a look at that, Warhead just brutally slammed Nightmare into the wall and now he's stuck there!" announced Sean.

 

"What an opening play by Warhead!" commended Bil.

"Looks like Nightmare is free but only able to drive on one wheel, Bil," added Sean.

"At least he's moving, maybe he'll get back over with Warhead's help," figured Bil.

"He's certainly not getting it now as Warhead shoves Nightmare under the Pulverizor! Nightmare's back over now! Oh my goodness, Nightmare is now stuck under one of the spikes in our Spike Strip!" declared Sean.

 

"Nightmare just did a big flip to get back over, Sean," noted Bil.

"Look at Warhead, he's lost his weapon! We've never seen this happen in the history of Battlebots!" remarked Sean.

 

"Nicely done by Jim Smentowski and Nightmare!" stated Bil.

"We're just about wrapped up in this bout as Nightmare flips Warhead!" continued Bil.

"What a fight, what a fight!" chanted Bil.

"Nightmare takes the 27-19 Judges Decision, Bil. It looked to me like the last two hits in the match were the ones that won him the match," concluded Sean.

 

"Seems like it to me, too, Sean, every other time it was all Warhead," agreed Bil.

"Well another night of robotic destruction ends. Bil, take us through the highlights," requested Sean.

"Vlad II dominated Ronin by smashing him with the Pulverizor for the eventual knockout. Mechadon walks through to the next round after taking the Judges Decision. Despite being basically dominated by Warhead, the judges gave Nightmare the victory," recapped Bil.

 

"Well for Donna Dierrico, Randy and Jason Sklar and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury," finished Sean.

"I'm Bil Dwyer. Goodnight," added Bil.

Season 1, Episode 2:

"It's chaos in the Battlebox as  a newcomer Mac Attack tries to make a sandwich out of The Devil. El Diablo wants to make scrap metal out of Alpha Raptor. Still want more? Well fasten your seatbelts as Vlad and Panic Attack trade flips and punches. Hello everyone and welcome to another carnage-filled night. I'm Sean Salisbury and this is my partner Bil Dwyer," began Sean.

 

"Alright, tonight we have another 6 bots ready to rumble and tear their opponent to pieces," stated Bil.

"That's exactly right, Bil and I can tell that they're all ready to give their opponent a major helping of domination," agreed Sean.

 

"Our first match up features Mac Attack, a hamburger-shaped bot with spinning saws as his main weapon. He was created by Mc Donalds themselves in the United States. His opponent is The Devil. He's a robot similar to El Diablo but instead of the spinning drum and spiked tail, he has a wedge and can run upside down," explained Bil.

 

"Let's go to Mark Beiro for the official introductions," suggested Sean.

"Introducing, in the red square to my right: If you think that this Battlebot is harmless, you'd better think again for he's THE DEVIL! And his opponent, in the blue square: This isn't a hamburger you eat, this isn't a hamburger you cut, this is a hamburger that kills! Please welcome MAC ATTACK!" announced Mark.

 

"Red driver, are you ready?" asked the Red Square Ref.

"Ready!" answered Zach Bieber.

"Red driver is ready!" repeated the Red Square Ref.

"Blue driver, are you ready?" questioned the Blue Square Ref.

"We're ready!" declared McDonalds' drivers.

"Blue drivers are ready!" echoed the Blue Square Ref.

"The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! The Devil already delivering punishment to the newcomer Mac Attack as he slams him into the wall," noted Sean.

 

"Doesn't look like Mac Attack's saws are going to be of any use, are they, Sean?" asked Bil.

"I think you're right, Bil, it seems that his saws are just too high to be within reach of The Devil. Another punishing blow by The Devil," replied Sean.

 

"Not a lot of offensive play by Mac Attack," added Bil.

"Well being the newcomer generally would contribute but also his weapons are ineffective and he doesn't have any additional weapons to maybe get underneath The Devil. Take a look now as we see Mac Attack near the Pulverizors and it looks like The Devil is stuck at the yellow spot near the Spike Strip," continued Sean.

 

"Looks like The Devil is free now," stated Bil.

"Yes and now he has just delivered the final blow as we see Mac Attack on his side with just under a minute to go," stated Sean.

 

"That was a sweet fight!" shouted Bil

"10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!" announced the Blue Ref.

"So The Devil advances to the next round and Mac Attack goes home. Now for our next pairing so let's go to Mark Beiro," concluded Sean.

 

"Introducing, in the red square to my right: He's red, he hates everything he's read, he's here to destroy you instead, he's EL DIABLO! And his opponent, in the blue square: Get him mad and you'll be without your face! Introducing ALPHA RAPTOR," declared Mark.

 

"Red driver, are you ready?" asked the Red Square Ref.

"Ready!" answered Zach.

"Red driver is ready!" stated the Red Square Ref.

"Blue driver, are you ready?" asked the Blue Square Ref

"I'm ready!" answered Chuck Pitzer.

"Blue driver is ready!" repated the Blue Square Ref.

"The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Take a look at the early aggression by Alpha Raptor as he slams El Diablo into the wall, Bil," said Sean.

 

"That was quite the slam, Sean but El Diablo hasn't slowed down a bit," remarked Bil.

"This is looking to be a great fight with both drivers pushing the other around. Are they both now incapacitated, Bil?" asked Sean.

 

"Sure looks like it, Sean, they're going to have to separate them. El Diablo's going to need to rack up some points or go for the knockout to win this," added Bil.

"That's right since he hasn't really done anything on the offensive to Alpha Raptor but look now as both bots are flipped over! The fight doesn't need to be reset because El Diablo can self-right but it looks to me like Alpha Raptor cannot since his main weapon is gone," nodded Sean.

 

"10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!" announced the Blue Square Ref.

"Look at El Diablo just playing with Alpha Raptor even while he's disabled," stated Sean.

"Alpha Raptor leaves while El Diablo advances. Let's go to our final match of the night where Mark Beiro has the statistics," suggested Sean.

 

"Introducing, first, in the red square to my right: Don't think he's a pain killer. In fact, he's more like a pain giver, he's PANIC ATTACK! And his opponent, in the blue square: This fearless robot leaves pain and destruction everywhere he goes. Welcome VLAD THE IMPALER!" shouted Mark.

 

"Red driver, are you ready?" asked Red Square Ref.

"Ready!" replied Kim Davies.

"Red driver is ready!" called Red Square Ref.

"Blue driver, are you ready?" asked Blue Square Ref.

"I'm ready!" stated Gage Cauchois.

"Blue driver is ready!" repeated Blue Square Ref.

"The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Oh my goodness, Vlad's already on his back end from Panic Attack!" declared Sean.

 

"Vlad's usually a good driver," added Bil.

"Yes, Gauge Cauchois is definitely a good driver but it seems like Kim Davis is slightly better. Take a look at that, Panic Attack is helping Vlad!" admitted Sean.

 

"So Panic's being a little generous to Vlad," concluded Bil.

"Vlad seems to be struggling to find an opening to lift and slam, Bil," realized Sean.

"Yeah, Panic Attack has skirts on 3 of the four sides, Sean, and with his lifting forks that high, it's no problem for Panic Attack to flip Vlad," explained Bil.

 

"Oh! Both bots are incapacitated! Wait a minute, it looks as if Panic Attack has found a way to right himself and he has!" declared Sean.

 

"What a shame for Vlad. If only he could have gotten underneath Panic Attack, he could've probably won," figured Bil.

 

"10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Stop the match!" announced Blue Square Ref.

"Well, there you have it, another 3 bots advance to the next round. Bil, take us through the highlights.

"The Devil advances after splitting apart the hamburger bot, Mac Attack. El Diablo tore up and flipped Alpha Raptor to earn a spot in the next round. Finally, Panic Attack proved to be too much for Vlad the Impaler as he advances to the next round," reminded Bi.

 

"For Randy and Jasen Sklar, Donna Dierrico and Bill Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury," finished Sean.

"And I'm Bil Dwyer. Goodnight," added Bil.

Season 1, Episode 1:

"Tonight we have a triple play of destruction. First, the UK Killerhurtz tries to go nose to nose with Minion. Next, It's another wedge fest as Ankle Biter and Bad Attitude trade blows. Finally it's a battle of the blades as Diesector and Son of Whyachi duke it out. (Battlebots opening theme). Strap yourselves in as we have a brand new Battlebots Tournament to start. Bil, tell us about our first two competitors," said Sean.

 

"Killerhurtz is a wedge with an axe. His builder is Jon Reid from Oxford. Minion is a wedge with a fireman's saw. His builder is Christian Carlberg of North Hollywood California," explained Bil.

 

"Let's go down to Mark Beiro for the introductions," continued Sean.

 Introducing, in the red square to my right: He's not here to say hello, he's not here to wish you luck, he's here to destroy you, here is KILLERHURTZ! And his opponent, in the blue square, he'll shove you, he'll mangle you, he'll shred you but he will not love you, he's MINION!" declared Mark.

 

"Red driver, are you ready?" asked the Red Square Ref

"Ready!" replied Jon Reid.

"Red driver is ready," repeated the ref.

"Blue driver, are you ready?" questioned the Blue Square Ref

"I'm ready!" answered Christian Carlberg

"Blue driver is ready!" called the ref.

"The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Killerhurtz with an early attack on Minion. Killerhurtz takes damage from the Killsaws. Take a look at that, Killerhurtz is under Minion and flips him over!" noted Sean.

 

"He's getting pulverized!" added Bil.

"That he is as he brings himself back to his wheels," replied Sean.

"Minion just took a big hit from Killerhurtz's axe," continued Bil.

 

"And he lost his self-righting mechanism, which could mean trouble if he's flipped over, Bil. Take a look at Minion, who has just slammed Killerhurtz into the wall and flipped him!" added Sean.

 

"Killerhurtz isn't looking too good right now, Sean, he seems to be having trouble righting himself," said Bil.

"He's up against the wall, which drops out many angles for self-righting," elaborated Sean.

 

"Look at Minion taking cheap shots on Killerhurtz with his saw!" shouted Bil.

"There we see the flip-over by Killerhurtz," said Sean.

"Oh, look at Minion, who's now jammed between the wall and the floor, Sean!" reacted Bil.

 

"He's in trouble if he can't free himself. We are down to the last few seconds of the bout now as Minion slams Killerhurtz into the Spike Strip!" finished Sean.

 

"What a way to end it too!" concluded Bil.

"Let's go to Mark Beiro for the official decision," suggested Sean.

"The 3 judges at arena side, have turned in a 21 to 19 decision....for....the blue square, MINION!" announced Mark.

"Next up, it's Bad Attitude vs. Ankle Biter so let's go to Mark Beiro," stated Sean.

 

"Introducing, in the red square to my right: He's bad, he's mad, he's the worst pet you'd ever have, he's ANKLE BITER! And his opponent, in the blue square: The only favor he'll ask you to do is lose to him in a Battlebots tournament. Please welcome BAD ATTITUDE!" declared Mark.

 

"The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time! Bad Attitude immediately slams Ankle Biter into the corner. Take a look now, as AB is slammed into the Spike Strip!" began Sean.

 

"Where AB has gotten stuck countless times," recalled Bil.

"Not this time as he is free and is now slamming BA into the wall," protested Sean.

"This is a great fight, two robots not afraid of slamming one another into the wall!" admitted Bil.

 

"Bad Attitude has Ankle Biter under the Pulverizor, our renovated Pulverizor!" noted Sean.

 

"Ankle Biter just flipped BA over, right onto the Killsaws!" realized Bil.

"BA is lucky this time because the Killsaws helped him out but it also gave AB hazard points," continued Sean.

 

"Bad Attitude not looking good right now as he's just lost a side panel," noted Bil.

 

"Is Bad Attitude incapacitated, Bil?" asked Sean.

"Yeah, it looks like he is, I can't see his wheels touching the ground, Sean. Oh, they're counting BA out!" replied Bil.

 

"Well, Ankle Biter moves on to the next round. Bil, who are our next pair of bots?" stated Sean.

 

"Son of Whyachi is a kind of walker bot with a helicopter-like weapon. His builder is Terry Ewart of Dorchester, Wisconsin. Diesector is built by Donald Hutson of San Diego California. His weapons are two battle axes. jaws and a wedge," explained Bil.

 

"Well, here to introduce the bots is Mark Beiro," resumed Sean.

"Introducing, in the red square, to my right: If you even think that you are going to beat him unscathed, talk to DIESECTOR! And his opponent, in the blue square: Don't make fun of this deadly robot or you'll end up without any legs to stand on. Welcome SON OF WHYACHI!" shared Mark.

 

"Red driver, are you ready?" asked the Red Square ref.

"Ready!" replied Donald.

"Diesector is ready!" declared the ref.

"Blue driver, are you ready?" asked the Blue Square ref.

"Ready!" answered Terry.

"Son of Whyachi is ready!" repeated the ref.

"The box is locked, the lights are on, it's robot fightin' time!" shouted Sean.

"Diesector comes straight out of his square and slams into SOW, trying to flip him over but Son of Whyachi moves away," began Bil.

 

"Son of Whyachi just flipped Diesector, what an amazing moment there," stated Bil.

"Doesn't matter because Diesector can run either way and slams SOW into the wall and it looks like SOW lost his wheels!" noted Bil.

 

"He's incapacitated!" added Sean.

"What a fight!" finished Bil.

"Our first Battlebots episode has come to a close. Bil, take us through the highlights," requested Sean.

 

"With pleasure. Minion takes a close victory, despite the brutal attacks by Killerhurtz. Ankle Biter moves on after Bad Attitude got caught in  the Spike Strip. Finally, Diesector rides to the next round after pulling off a one-hit knock out," recapped Bil.

 

"For Randy and Jason Sklar, Donna Dierrico and Bil Nye, I'm Sean Salisbury," stated Sean.

 

"I'm Bil Dwyer and we leave you with the hit of the week. Goodnight," finished Bil.
