BattleBots (2000)
Specials
In a BattleBots event the competitors are remote-controlled armed and armored machines, designed to fight in an arena combat elimination tournament. If both combat robots are still operational at the end of the match the winner is determined by a point system based on damage, aggression, and strategy. The television show BattleBots aired on the American cable network Comedy Central for five seasons, covering five BattleBots tournaments. The first season aired starting in August 2000, and the fifth season aired starting in August 2002. Hosts of BattleBots were Bil Dwyer and Sean Salisbury and correspondents included former Baywatch actresses Donna D'Errico, Carmen Electra, and Traci Bingham, former Playboy Playmate Heidi Mark, and identical twins Randy and Jason Sklar. Bill Nye was the show's "technical expert". After five 'seasons', Comedy Central terminated their contract with BattleBots Inc. in late 2002.

S0E1 - Las Vegas 1999
The Las Vegas 1999 competition was the second of its kind sanctioned by BattleBots. It was broadcast on Pay-Per-View and taped for the BattleBots 1999 World Championship VHS and DVD home release.
The popular Gigabot class returned (later simply called Heavyweights) and the brand-new Superheavyweight class which debuted at this tournament. This was the first competition to run a single-elimination format.
The event served to pitch BattleBots as a concept to various networks, and Comedy Central ultimately picked up on the idea to produce televised series.
