Comedy Central Cancels BattleBots

Rathian writes "Bad news for BattleBot lovers, I saw on the BattleBots Builder's Forum that CC is NOT going to film Phase 6.0 of BattleBots. You can see copies of the email from the BattleBots founders Trey & Greg at RobotCombat.com, and at Team DaVinci Robots God willing, another network will pick it up and keep this sport alive!"

    Not to be a troll, but the whole BattleBots concept has gone from new and fun to watch to rather dull within the span of a couple of years. That's why they had to throw Carmen Electra on, right? People weren't watching, and a little sex appeal was required?

    Not that I don't think something BattleBots-ish won't survive for a while, but I doubt it'll be for long. Just a prediction.
