And after all, we're all afraid of Skynet becoming a real thing, and of robots taking our jobs in the future. In the world we live in today, BattleBots might seem a bit outdated, as life-changing robots are being built these days for various purposes. These are ultimate nerd showdowns, pitting brains and steely brawn against each other. There are other counterparts that haven’t seen as much mainstream success, such as UK’s BattleBots, Robot Wars (the original, of which BattleBots is an offshoot), and even Hebocon, where people design the “worst” robots they can and pit them against each other. In February 2018, Discovery Channel and Science picked up the show for its eighth season. In the US, for five seasons BattleBots aired on Comedy Central, before it was revived in 2015 by ABC. It’s both medieval and futuristic, and plays to our most base desires to witness destruction and sparks flying.
