i am so EXCITED for this, ive been talking about it with so many people, this could literally be the beggining of the BEST sport created in human history, i will defenetly watch that.

I remember shows where people built their own RC controlled robots with weapons like chainsaws, mallets, chomping jaws and whatnot and had them fight in the arena. It was kind of fun. Difference is people were safe outside of the arena. Melee combat with manned robots sounds incredibly dangerous.

Battlebots is still going. The evolution of the RC vehicles looks to have more or less evolved into a few successful designs that cater to the rules and terms of victory. Lots of wedges and models designed to flip over competing models. Not exactly battling robots, but still pretty entertaining stuff.
