Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. On what network did the show debut in the United States?

Answer: Comedy Central

The public was protected from sparks and debris by a fence around the edge of the arena floor. Fans were very supportive and carried banners for their favorite robots.
2. Other than time running out, what was considered cause to stop a match?

Answer: When a robot could not move

Officials could call a halt if a robot became too damaged to continue moving. This could also happen if the opponent's machine flipped it over, leaving it stuck on its back.
3. Which of the following hazards could deter a robot?

Answer: Blades that popped out of the floor

Periodically, blades called 'kill saws' would emerge from the floor, and cut through whatever was in their way. If the impact severed parts of the robot, it could quickly be forced out of commission.
4. The construction process of robots was highly secret and could never be seen on the show.

Answer: False

During breaks in competition, viewers at home got to see footage of teams building and testing the robots. It was common for members of the same family to take part in a team.
5. Which of these was not the name of a class of robots seen in the show?

Answer: Bantamweight

The lightweight class started at 60 pounds. The gigantic superheavyweights numbered 340 pounds.
6. What talk show host had a robot modeled after him?

Answer: Jay Leno

The robot was called "Chin-Killa." It could only be used in exhibition matches, as its front end-- a fake chin, a joking reference to Leno's own facial features-- was not compliant with robot construction standards.
7. What type of match was held at the end of a tournament?

Answer: A 'rumble,' or free-for-all, involving many robots

This fun type of match caused a great deal of destruction. Sparks and robot parts would fly through the air.
8. In normal competition, how long did a match last?

Answer: Three minutes

Scientist and television host Bill Nye appeared in the show to explain technical aspects of the machines and the tournament facilities. He was also the host of the long-running educational show, "Bill Nye the Science Guy."
9. Which of the following was not the name of a category used to judge the results of matches?

Answer: Speed

Following each bout, the statistics would be shown on screen. Three judges supervised the battles and assigned points.
10. Which of the following robots had a toy's face that would often get dislodged during battles?

Answer: Buddy Lee, Don't Play in the Street

Buddy Lee was a character in commercials for Lee Jeans. In the ads, he would get demolished. This trait was adapted to the namesake BattleBots machine by its builders.
