I'm watching S3E01 right now and its pretty good so far with some new bots bringing fresh ideas into the arena. Tombstone and Minotaur are about to face off.

The "big wheel" bot looks amusing, but I'd imagine that Tombstone will shred those wheels to pieces if and when the time comes.

Great start to the new season, even a flamethrower bot actually caught another one on fire. Most of the time the flames just make the fight look awesome, this time it did do something. Tombstone as always, is just hard to beat, as Kenny said, using its own kinetic energy might be the only thing that stops it.

I haven't watched any of the new season yet. Does anyone know: Are they permitted to use any kind of AI or other means of intelligent control in the bots? Say... bot senses that it's upside down and rights itself, or maybe senses a nearby bot and uses a weapon against it. Or does it all have to be remote controlled?

Did you notice how Tombstone tore the arena floor up in multiple places in that first round? I've never see its blade peel up the steel floor like that. They don't have that fight up yet but they did post this one.

b. Bot Control

You must have reliable remote control over all of your bot’s functions and positions. Autonomous functions in the bot are acceptable, provided you are able to remotely disable or override those functions at any time.

Sounds like they expect any such functions to be pretty basic if each one must be capable of being remotely disabled.

The floor getting torn up is what finally ended the match when Minotaur got stuck on one of the pieces Tombstone created, this show is awesome.

Best part of this show is that you can still ffwd through an episode in 15 to 20 minutes and skip all the fake drama and backstory on some of the most completely boring people who've ever lived. Seriously, you could put a bunch ATOTers on that show and they wouldn't be any less interesting.

It seemed like there was much less to FF through this time, hope that continues. I agree though, I just go watch the battles.

Hell yes, that was an epic battle, I was amazed at how Minotaur was able to absorb hit after hit from Tombstone's weapon and not shred to pieces. You could see the frame getting literally eaten as the match went on, it seems his weapon must have been knocked out of it's alignment, (I'm guessing here). The floor being chewed up was just nuts!!.
