I just wanted to thank you guys for the inspiration all those years ago. I started watching Battlebots as a little kid, and I'm going into my senior year of engineering school now. While I had inclinations towards machines when I was even younger (planes, trains, and automobiles), it was the first thing that made me say "I want to do that". And hopefully, my senior project will be building my very own robot. Any tips for a new builder?

So well over 10 times the amount of energy in a 50 caliber bullet, for translation.

Edit: 3.5 times. I did a dumb.

Can you explain more about the process/journey it took to get Battlebots back on the air? I remember the rumblings years ago and planned shows on I think CBS Sports(?) that never really took off. Also, did you ever think that you wouldn't get back on TV?
