Battlebots Episode 8.1 RECAP: It’s LIT

The new season of Battlebots got off to a roaring start on Friday night. The production value of the Discovery Channel broadcast over the ABC broadcast was astronomically better. For starters, there were FIVE fights packed into one episode with a sixth bonus fight set to be shown during the Wednesday airing on the Science Channel. ABC couldn’t figure out how to get more than 4 fights (at a maximum of 3 minutes each) into 43 minutes of television whereas Discovery got 5 and the Science Channel re-air will have 6. That’s fantastic work all around by the production team.
