I competed in BattleBots last August (it was AMAZING) and plan on doing it again. Unfortunately they've been kind of vague about future competition dates and locations. They mentioned having a competition in April, but that doesn't look likely anymore and they've also commented that they'd like to hold competitions in Austin, TX and NYC.
Gracious professionalism abounds in Battlebots; in and out of competition. The same people I'm competing against have taught me the tricks to making a better robot and the same helpful attitude in the pits of FIRST is just as apparent at BattleBots.
If you're interested in it check out the BattleBots forum linked below.

BTW, Dan Danknick, a judge at last year's CA regional, was the 'color-commentator' for the PPV event and is also a third year Robot Wars/BattleBots guy. He's got an awesome page at www.teamdelta.com
Also, Jim Smentowski, creator of Nightmare (that scary robot with the 300MPH blade), was a coach of one of the CA teams as well (I forget which one.)
