ABC Season 1 featured a total of 24 competing robots which were selected from applications, with an additional four selected as reserves in case of drop-outs. Some competitors had an additional minibot to serve as a distraction, however the weight of the minibot could not take the overall entry above the 250lb weight limit. Unlike in the classic era, the show exclusively featured heavyweight robots weighing up to 250lbs. The main competition was a single-elimination tournament, meaning a straight knock-out bracket. American actress Alison Haislip filled the role of pit reporter for the season, and the role of ring announcer was filled by Philadelphia-born Faruq Tauheed. Sportscaster Molly McGrath, who did work for FOX Sports at the time, served as a third presenter but was not seen as often as Chris and Kenny. The network picked up sports broadcaster Chris Rose and former MMA fighter Kenny Florian to present the show and commentate battles. Much like the original show, BattleBots on ABC had two main hosts who also served as commentators. The reboot was announced in February, 2015, with co-founders Greg Munson and Trey Roski still at the helm. It ended a hiatus of over 12 years since the final episodes the classic era, and saw several veteran competitors return with the show.
