Bite Force
Lockjaw
Overhaul's team leader used to do FRC
I think someone on Bombshell may have as well
I believe chrome fly has students who do/did FRC
There are probably more that I'm not remembering.

To avoid being the bad guy again, this heads up is your 3 weeks warning.

The season will begin in earnest Thursday, June 23rd.

Thanks, had forgotten the date.

If you'd like to watch the full 40 minute season trailer, you can watch it here, ad supported, on ABC's watch Go service.

Season Premiere on ABC right now, on the right side of the Mississippi.

That was an absolutely incredible episode. SO MUCH ACTION. Loved every minute of it.
Epic fights.

Hopefully more people tune in.

Ratings were dismal. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...-june-23-2016/

The ratings were fine for summer. It was never going to match last season, since it doesn't have Celebrity Family Feud as a lead-in anymore. It was also up from the (much more expensive) scripted programming ABC aired on Thursdays last summer.

Bump

This week's episode is on now (Eastern & Central).

In the intro video for Rotator, did the earlier robot(s) of his look like FRC robots? (telling from the large, red alliance light on the robot)

[XaulZan11]

Do they really need to announce "It's robot fightin' time!" and show the audience before every...single...match? I feel like there is a ton of wasted air time that could be replaced with at least another match.

I thought so as well, but I did not recognize the robot. I remember 2002 still had the lights, but when did they go away? I was not active 2003 or 2004, and I know by 2005 we didn't have to package one of those.

It was definitely an honor to fight Bronco (I was a member of Team Blacksmith) in the first round. They demonstrate the theory that with enough force, any robot can fly!
