Backed by a company called BrightData, the long-running robot combat series will debut a new season exclusively on YouTube.

UCSC alumna Lisa Winter (Porter ’09, art) brings an artist’s eye to the arena of combat robotics—evolving from childhood Robot Wars competitor to BattleBots judge and robotics entrepreneur.

Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, Allison Janney, Sarah Paulson and Christoph Waltz also will serve as presenters at Sunday's ceremony.
