Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Naah, they'd never recapture the magic. Bring back similar shows like junkyard wars and battlebots.

Battle bots is still going on. They have new seasons every year. There is a large break in between for rebuilds and try outs.

I'm personally addicted to the smaller battle bot leagues like NHRL.

I love how creative ant and beetle weight battles are. Folks show up with literal pieces of trash attached to a motor and make havoc.

Did you see Dutch Oven? Holy fuck that's the scariest robot I've ever seen!

You mean the tiny robot that MELTED the arena??

Yes, yes I have.

Isn't there a current bot-fighting league? NHRL or something like that? They keep popping up in my YouTube recommendations, but I haven't done a deep dive into them.
