Robot combat show Battlebots is once again returning to our screens for a new season on Discovery. The clip is the beginning of their face off as the announcers run down the stats and the challenges each team faces. But can young Bryce shock the world in his BattleBots debut?
Ray looks to be licking his chops as he looks to make a meal out of the rookie kid. Now Ray’s spot as number one seed three years in a row makes them a real challenge for upstarts, Team Already Broke and their entry, Slap Box. Their claim to fame is creating the deadliest horizontal spinners with names like Last Rites, which competed at RoboGames as well as the ComBots Cup, and Tombstone, which has been the most feared bot in the competition. It is described as a two-wheeled box-shaped robot armed with a large horizontally-spinning bar that weighs about 65-75 lbs.
The contraption was built by Hardcore Robotics which competed in the 2004 NPC Charity Open, 2009 BattleBots Professional Championship and every season of the reboot. Tombstone is considered a heavyweight, and was once considered a superheavyweight robot. Billings is a robot combat veteran and leads Hardcore Robotics, a trio consisting of himself, his son Justin Billings, and Ricky Russ. Tombstone is operated and created by Billings. In TV Shows Ace exclusive clip below we see Bryce, and along with his teammates and family Dominic Yankauskas, Cynthia Yankauskas, Bryce Yankauskas, Hunter Yankauskas, and Onika Yankauskas, as they are ready to rumble and hope to topple the veteran champ. The kid on the block is Bryce and his Slap Box, which took two years to build. They posted about the episode tonight, saying:Īre your ready for our first fight ever at BattleBots?!?!
