Battlebots

Anyone remember watching this show? I absolutely loved it.

I loved battle bots, and robot wars.  they were both soo good. 

Yes. I liked Hazard, even though my favorite was Ziggo, and I also liked Sunshine Lollibot just because of the name..

I liked the show, but never really watched it much.  As part of a college project, we had to program robots or "sumo-bots", and had them compete.  Mine lost in the first round of competition (but so did many superior programmed bots).  We couldn't do mechanical adjustments to our bots, so no appending hammers, baseball bats, drills, torches, etc..

Probably because no one wants to see a wedge vs. wedge shoving match.  I mean, look at this:



Compared to this:



Bots like Biohazard proved that the wedge+lifting arm strategy wins, but there are more people that want to see sparks and parts go flying than those who can appreciate good driving and engineering.  I personally like the spinner weapons, but if wedges are outlawed, I have a feeling you'd be seeing those things everywhere.  But let's work on getting it back on TV first!

Damn, who re-designed the Battlebots website?  It looks like crap.
