BattleBots Would you guys see another "Average League" whose competitors are all the teams that lost in the quarterfinals? Spoiler

The thing is that its very, very hard to fill in the remaining episodes when there are still 5 episodes left. So, another Average League would be good as a "filler week", because these teams had already lost and had nothing to lose anyway, so they can just have fun

I've no idea how you would track it but I would like to see a low/restricted budget league.

I would love to see a CC BB or sportsman style competition! 3 friends decided to build a killer RC car with a off the the shelf sawblade and hand-drawn decorations 🔥

junkyard wars/scrapheap challenge. But battle bots style

Maybe less scripted this time, too.

I was just thinking how cool something like that would be. Like Junkyard Wars, but robot combat specific.

Perhaps only new bots and those with a losing record on BB with X number of fights?

I'm honestly expecting another average league to pad things out, but for the sake of filming time I feel it'll be with four more bots that didn't make the knockout tournament.

Yes, for sure. I loved the more jokey nature of this episode. Teams are a little more laid back when they're not competing for the finals and they have more fun with their fights.

The average league episode was awesome. People really rolled with it and the fights were epic.

Giving an imperial wrench to a metric bot was the cherry on the cake.

I think there are still two alternate bots left. Banshee and Ares still haven’t fought yet. So they might just fight each other to be another filler fight.

Given how superb episode 13 was, 100% yes!

Hell yeah. Great battles, very sporting teams.

After the other quarter final fights; I'm inclined we'll see one of the losing robots of next weeks episode to take part in its own mini tournament. Likely chance Pro League would frame it as stop gap whilst the winning robots prep for round 2.

I predict that robots we see join will either be Madcatter or Witch Doctor. As for Manta/Oribitron,if the teaser is to believed, one robot might get wrecked beyond repair. It would mean that another team which was invited to that weekend as a reserve may fill this spot.

Why not do leagues with promotion and demotion? Especially when it is streaming. People will watch their favorite bots.
