BattleBots Delayed, Will Go Brains Over Babes

An anonymous reader writes "We got all excited earlier this week about robo-combat returning to TV with ESPN, but now PopMech super geek Erik Sofge talks to the folks at BattleBots and finds out that because of so many early entries, the competition will be delayed until at least November. The reason? Gone are the babes and predictable wedge fights, in are eager engineering students, a crazy ramp arena and lots of new rules. Worth the wait, or do we miss the Comedy Central version?"

Seen on BattleBots fan forums:

"My God, look how that bot's exoskeleton shines in the moonlight."

"Those mechanical legs go all the way up, baby."

"Seeing the lubricating oil spewing from that gouged bot makes me tingle in all the right places."

"Hot three on one bot action!"

"Man, those two bots just kept ramming the other one into submission! I had to change my underwear."
