" BattleBots is the perfect union between cutting-edge science and entertainment. Here's what Marc Etkind, general manager at Science Channel had to say about the upcoming BattleBots revival. Similar to boxing or mixed martial arts, if one of the bots isn't knocked out during that time, a panel of judges decides on a winner. The action is captured by cameras as announcers relay what's going on. The robots then do battle with one another in the arena in three-minute duels. Competitors on the show bring homemade robots they've built using any number of materials, fully equipped with weapons and defense mechanisms. In case you aren't familiar, the general premise of the show is pretty much laid out in the title. While no exact premiere date has been set, the BattleBots revival is slated to return this spring and will air on both networks. However, that hasn't prevented Discovery and the Science Channel from seeing potential in bringing BattleBots back, giving it another go. ABC tried to bring back the robot battle series in 2015, but the show didn't quite work on network television, and only lasted two seasons, with ABC canceling it in 2016. BattleBots is coming back to a television near you this year.
