Since I first made this page, the first three seasons of BattleBots have been shown on UK TV, The first on BBC 2 in early 2001, and seasons 2 and 3 one after the other in early/mid 2002 on BBC Choice. So, I have updated the page with more of my favourite matches. These are in no order, except the order in which I remembered them.

Battle 1

Mauler vs Bigger Brother

Heavyweight Class, Season 2

The Big Brother team were very confident that they would be ripped  to pieces within 10 seconds of entering the arena, but that wasn't the way the  fight went. Mauler hit Bigger Brother at full speed, and causes little damage. But part  of Mauler's weapon broke loose, and the balance was upset. Hitting the killsaws  was enough to tip them over the edge, and the gyroscopic forces caused the robot  to lift off the ground and flip over. Win to Bigger Brother.

Battle 2

Nightmare vs Biohazard

Heavyweight Class, Season 2

This battle sent the sparks flying right from the start. Nightmare  hit Biohazard a few times and sent the sparks flying. Biohazard was thrown  across the ring and looked to be loosing. But they picked themselves up and  managed to jam Nightmare on the arena wall, where they got completely stuck. Win  to Biohazard.

Battle 3

Son of Whyachi vs Nightmare

Heavyweight Class, Season 3

This promised to be an explosive fight. With both robots armed with spinning discs, it was likely to be a one hit match, but who would come out on top, and who would come out is bits. Nightmare had only had one fight, being a ranked robot, but had beaten Slam Job with one hit. Son of Whyachi was a rookie, but had already fought a couple of times. As the fight started the two robots spun up to speed and headed arross the floor. Nightmare was planning to turn into Whyachi's spinning rotor, to minimise damage to itself. But, as Nightmare was tring to make the turn, the ramps popped up under the robot, lifting the wheels off the ground. It didn't make the turn. The result was a one hit win for Son of Whyachi. Nightmare flew into the air and over, both wheels came off, one pulled the gearbox open as it went throwing oil all over the floor. And as Nightmare hit the ground, there was more damage. Nightmare, having turned over, hit the ground disc first. The disc was spinning at full speed (300mph) and when it hit the ground, it ripped a huge gash in the floor, pushing back the tooth that hit the floor, twisted the chassis, snapped a weapon drive belt and shattered the magnets in the motor. OUCH!!!

And all in just a few seconds.

Battle 4

Son of Whyachi vs Biohazard

Heavyweight Class, Season 3 Grand Final

This promised to be good, and it was. Biohazard charged at Whyachi, and one of it's front sheids was ripped off. But Whyachi lost one of the braces from it's rotor, and then both robots got jammed in a corner and were hit by the hammers. Biohazard got free, but then stopped against the wall. Whyachi got free, and spun it's damaged rotor up. It hit the back of Biohazard, knocking it free of the wall and ripping the whole side skirt off one side. As Biohazard was being counted out, it started working again. Another hit from Whyachi knocked Biohazard to a stop again. Whyachi couldn't move well either but Biohazard wasn't moving at all. The count out started again, but Biohazard started moving again. But this time the count didn't stop, and Biohazard was counted out. But, as it was still moving, the match went to the judges. It didn't really matter, Whyachi was declared Champ.
