Season 1.0 was the first televised season of BattleBots, following on from the Long Beach and Las Vegas events held in 1999. It was the only season to have taken place at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco, California, with the remainder of the original run being held on Treasure Island or in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It was the first of five seasons to air on Comedy Central, hosted by Bil Dwyer and Sean Salisbury with legendary boxing ring announcer Mark Beiro introducing robots to the BattleBox. Donna D'Errico and twins Randy and Jason Sklar were present as reporters between fights, and Bill Nye filled the role of technical analyst to provide insight into the science of combat robots during battles.
As was the case with future BattleBots seasons in the classic era, robots fought in four different weight classes: Lightweight, Middleweight, Heavyweight and Superheavyweight.
Televised fights often made up the tail end of each competition, with many robots needing to win four or more preliminary fights just to advance to the TV battles.
The season was comprised of 15 episodes in total, each of which often jumped between weight classes. Episode 15 was dedicated towards end-of-season rumbles, where willing competitors who were still functional after their last main season fight all fought in one large free-for-all.
The lightweight class was won by Jim Smentowski's Backlash, who saw off Alpha Raptor in the title decider. Tony Buchignani and Hazard took out Grant Imahara and Deadblow in the middleweight final to win a first Giant Nut for Team Delta. The heavyweight division went to Gage Cauchois and Vlad the Impaler, whereas Christian Carlberg and Minion was deemed the best of the superheavyweights.
•Episode 1 of the season was used as a pilot to pitch BattleBots to Comedy Central.
•The only qualifying battle of the Lightweight division in Season 1.0 was Backlash vs. Disposable Hero, also the first televised fight on Comedy Central.
