The World Championship qualifiers reach their climax, with Hydra facing Uppercut and Whiplash against Valkyrie in two ferocious final battles. Only then can the top 32 finalists finally be revealed. Who will be top seed and who will be out?

The 2020 BattleBots World Championship continues with the second half of the Round of 32.

Sparks are flying at the midpoint of the season as Valkyrie and Rotator square off in a battle of hard-hitting horizontal spinners. Undefeated bots Malice and MadCatter duke it out and Uppercut takes on bad-bot Sawblaze in an explosive main event.

Desperate to avoid a winless season, Huge faces Kraken. Its veteran vs. rookie as Lock-Jaw fights Jackpot -- only one can go 3-0.

Legendary hammer-bot Beta returns to face off with Rotator, one of the deadliest horizontal spinners on the planet. Later, two rising stars attempt to stake their claim in the contest as Gruff pits its duel-flamethrowers against Hypershock.

Slick-driving Whiplash looks to get its championship aspirations back on track against Gruff's menacing flamethrowers. Underdog Rusty tries attempts to upset veteran Beta, and Hypershock locks horns with Mammoth in a gear-grinding showdown.

Hard-hitting, steel-splitting combat returns as 60 teams converge for a tournament of all-out robotic carnage! Jack Barker from End Game finally gets the match he's been waiting for as he squares off with Ray Billings and his lethal bot Tombstone.

Former Giant Nut winner Tombstone takes on rookie Slap Box and the part-frog, part-killer robot Ribbot takes on the feline-inspired MadCatter. Giant walker-bot Chomp makes its debut and End Game takes on Bloodsport in a messy main event.

Tonight every fight has Championship consequences. In the Main Event, Copperhead and Black Dragon battle for high seedings; all the rest are fighting for survival. A win means life; a loss and it's time to power down for good.

Giant Nut runner up Witch Doctor faces off against Kraken and both are desperate to not go 0-2. Vegas newcomer Jackpot rolls the dice against the veteran Ghost Raptor and veteran flipper Hydra has a very big surprise in store.
