# BattleBots: Bounty Hunters

BattleBots: Bounty Hunters is a spinoff of the Discovery Channel's BattleBots. This show's first four episodes premiered on Discovery+ on January 4, 2021 and the Discovery Channel on March 18, 2021.

## Format

One iconic, destructive bot from the TV show BattleBots is chosen to be the bounty. Eight bots compete in a bracket to become the "bounty hunter" which will compete with the bounty bot. If the bounty hunter bot wins, the bot's team wins a portion of a $25,000 purse. The same rules and judging system apply as in BattleBots season 10.
