Hey, while searching for low-brow TV I stumbled upon battlebots, which
was on the comedy channel of all things. Two 100 kg robots, no
restriction on
design (except no explosives) fight each other to the death. This is
exactly the kind of thing I had in mind when I suggested new sports,
where optimal strategies are not yet known, allowing for creative
design.
This show has it all: destruction of property, gonzo engineering, fight
to the
death, power, speed, mayhem, total guy stuff. Ahhhhh bliss. {8^D
