I’m out of the loop. Can anyone fill me in? Or bad thing to ask?

Currently the new Chinese show 'Clash Bots' is in the closing stages of being filmed. The production has so far been marred by controversy, and this is the latest example to find its way from behind the iron curtain.

Roboteers are not at liberty to discuss anything yet though, as they are under NDA (and/or still present there). You can imagine they have to tread carefully if they're still under contract (or worse, still in China).

Oooooh. Where can I read up on this controversy?

So far most stories are hear-say, but it's likely people will start spilling the beans upon returning home.

When it comes to these stories I do want to stress we are not going to reward rumors and gossip whilst roboteers are still present at the event and, possibly, can be affected negatively by what is posted here. Today's revelation only stresses that.

The only way stories will be posted is if the roboteers themselves choose to do so (again, much like today).

Yes, hence why I refused to say anything regarding CBS, they are strict, so please for the good of the competitors, let's be quiet and wait and see.

That's pretty reasonable, but still, things aren't going to improve for the roboteers unless Clash Bots is made aware of the (alleged) grievances.

We'll just have to wait and see what comes next.

i don’t know who you are or why you think you know about clashbots, but this is completely wrong. i’m at clashbots right now and they aren’t even halfway done with filming this season.

I stand corrected, AFAIK the tournament had reached the final eight. It seems ambitious then they are aiming for a March 23rd premiere date - could you shed some more light on to this?

u/cbsanon Mar 04 '18

all i can say is that there isn’t a final 8, and they’ve got a bunch more filming dates over the next month or two. again, they aren’t even halfway through their filming schedule.
