Oh wow! I have been missing battle bots. Hope this inspires a new generation of engineers

This was always one of those things (like Dodgeball on TV) that always sounded cooler than it actually was...


to me at least.

Sounds kind of interesting, but not something I'll really make plans for.

I hate reality TV. However, I kind of like shows like this because it feels more like a game show and actually has a purpose behind it. I actually feel like there are more of them nowadays, and that's good. It's much more interesting than watching cameramen following around a couple of guys/girls through their everyday lives. If I want to watch stuff like that, I'll just go sit on a street corner somewhere with a camera.
