Have you seen the US reboot, BattleBots? First season was last year. The machines on that were epic, far above & beyond the 'toys' that were on Robot Wars over here. Quite a few British teams in it, too.

If it's like that, then  :thumbsup:

If you haven't seen it, they're on YouTube - clicky (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=battlebots+2015)

Jees I thought this sort of thing had died a death 10 years ago!  Permanently resigned to the likes of Dave and trash re-run channels.  Remember watching it all the time when I was younger though I think Philippa may have had a bit to do with that.

Drone Wars and Drone Racing is all the rage!

I told my eldest son (32) about this last evening and caught him measuring up the wheels and motors of my mobility scooter this morning  :hmmm:
I should have kept quiet about it  ::)
