'''BattleBots''' was an American competition show that ran from 2000 to 2002. The show had five competitions that aired on Comedy Central, and colloquially referred to as "Season 1.0" through "5.0." Prior to that were two unaired competitions in 1999, the first held in Long Beach, which was recorded for the "BattleBots Beginnings" VHS tape/DVD, and the second held in Las Vegas and available on Pay-Per-View, but later on this competition was available on DVD as well. BattleBots was revived in 2015 as a 6-episode television series, and it was filmed in San Francisco on a tight schedule. The season aired on ABC during the summer of that year and was renewed for a second season that ran for 10 episodes. On July 5, 2017, the Science Channel picked up the re-run rights for the ABC BattleBots episodes which started on July 12, 2017. In February of 2018 Discovery Channel officially renewed BattleBots for a third season. The competition is set to be held from March 31st - April 9th 2018 with the episodes airing May 10th on Discovery and reruns airing on Science.
