The robot fighting continues! #NHRL

The March competition from #NHRL inspired me to crunch numbers.

It's not much, but it's a thing. Maybe more thing come later.

Settling in for some #PrimeTime viewing on a 2-hour delay. Really looking forward to it. Don't spoil it for me too badly!

#NHRL #CombatRobotics

I really enjoyed the live audience voting in the #RobotRampage World Cup. I always play that game at home anyhow - trying to guess what's going to happen before it does is a really good prompt to thinking more deeply about what you're watching. And if you've followed me for a while you've seen me put out polls on this sort of thing.

So, yes, I'm very glad to see #BattleBots will be doing something similar with their new show. They won't be live, so it's a little different, because some small minority of the votes know for a fact who wins, but still... it's a nice gesture.

#NHRL does live shows, and are generally quite good at being online. I wonder if they've experimented with this sort of thing as a live-audience engagement thing before?

#NHRL robot fighting is live today with the first tournament of 2026.

Currently watching #NHRL, and I won't spoil the first few matches I witnessed for those that might want to catch up via VOD, but it has been a very thrilling set of fights already.

Gotta love robots smashing the daylights out of eachother.

Honestly, I prefer #NHRL primarily because they're producing more new, regularly-scheduled, high-quality competition shows in places I can easily watch.

If #BattleBots went back to a championship every year plus FaceOffs or whatever... frankly I'd just watch both. I'm not so strapped for screen time that I have pick one or the other.

I challenge @gilhova
to watch 5:18:20 through 5:26:30 .

I'm going to say I rather appreciate that #NHRL doesn't do Olympics-style cheese mixing synchronized dance troops with CGI animation and blinking LEDs and black lights and laser show stuff... but hey they were trying something right?

Anyone aware of "Battle of Robots" at "Games of the Future" coming up in a week? What is the ruleset, exactly? Single-elim bracket?

It's weird for an event with the largest 1st-place cash prize ever to have so few details available. And when I tried to watch what I could find of their one previous event, I was more confused than anything.

#combatrobotics ... not #NHRL or #BattleBots but I don't know what tags one would use for visibility ... #GamesOfTheFuture I guess?

Norwalk Havoc Robot League is back today for their last meet of 2025.

Any other #NHRL fans out there? This is the kind of things I love about robot combat.

Fire is back this week! #NHRL

Today's #NHRL meet gets started with a bang.

I get the impression that advertising on Cheddar is targeted at a general Cheddar audience, and not specific to whichever program is currently on.

#NHRL

#NHRL has returned from Summer break and I am reminded that few things make me happier than robot on robot violence.

The local robot fighting league in Norwalk, #Connecticut is streaming live this afternoon:

This is an awesome video from the University of Illinois team, showing what it's like to compete at NHRL. Really fun, and great behind the scenes footage too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De58fGZ62WA #battlebots #nhrl

Forgive my kvelling, but this video from work came out great and I wanted you all to see it. https://youtu.be/xNj63bLmOGM?si=gVBAP8zG2s20QEOc #nhrl #battlebots

I have just watched a combat robot fight in in #NHRL being controlled by (variously) a DDR mat, a video game drum set, and video game guitars. Somehow it’s more controlled than I’ve seen many combat robots with regular controllers https://youtu.be/5Q_13ClYyrI?si=DKl_rDeopKHAe-b2

T minus two days until chaos. #nhrl #battlebots

No plans for tonight? Check out some robot on robot violence!

If you're not watching NHRL Primetime on YouTube, you're missing out. Violent from the start! Emulsifier was fighting for its little metal life! #RobotCombat #Battlebots #NHRL

Watch some robots beat the shit out of each other, you'll feel better! #robotCombat #battleBots

Spending Sunday watching a replay of the Bristol Bot Builders competition from yesterday. It's an amazing competition of insectweight combat bots, based in the UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCd0SGRfj0c #nhrl #battlebots

It's the second day of Robot Conflict at Motorama! You'll recognize a lot of bots from NHRL competing at this annual event. The presentation isn't as polished as NHRL, but it's far more of a labor of love by a small crew. I look forward to this event every year. #battlebots #nhrl

As if tomorrow’s NHRL 2025 season opener wasn’t exciting enough… I will be making my NHRL sportscasting debut from 3-4 pm EST! I’m both excited and terrified! https://www.youtube.com/live/M_fMIhphgN0?si=NvfhAM63N4lmDee4
