The bots for this year's championship are going through tech checks now (in Vegas). Filming starts on Tuesday and I'm pretty sure that audience tickets are still available https://battlebots.com/tickets/

That was an amazing moment. I was actually in the front row of the audience for that fight, sitting almost directly behind where Apex's blade went through. The audience just went completely silent in shock when it happened, then started laughing nervously. Dara spent ages looking at the hole, he stuck his head through it and took photos of it on his phone.

UK Robot Wars heavyweights from the recent reboot were up to 110kg (the weight limits have increased over the years, I think the original limit in the early series was 80kg but I could be wrong). BattleBots is 250lb, and most of them are very close to or at the limit.
