a5c7b9f00b Knockout competition between deadly robots designed and controlled by contestants. There&#39;s chainsaws, spikes, and lots of flying metal. I managed to catch an episode of this wonderful show purely by accident. We decided to stay home one Saturday afternoon, andwe were flipping around the channels, we happened across it. The first thing I heard was the voice of the host, Craig Charles, that I immediately recognized from another wonderful show, Red Dwarf. My girlfriend was ready to keep on going around the dial, but I wanted to watch, mainly because I like Craig so much. He&#39;s just plain cool! So we watched the show, and it was amazing! It&#39;s like…as we Americans talk about how it&#39;d be cool to do this or that, and it&#39;s usually just talk, the Brits are getting out into the garage, and actually building this stuff, and finding their way onto international television,well!<br/><br/>Hey, I&#39;m gonna have to subscribe to TV Guide so I can find out when and where this shows going to be on again.<br/><br/>Peace! The hype of Battlebots turned up to 11. At least with Battlebots you can fast forward to the interesting parts. Namely the fights. With Robot Wars the obnoxious &quot;radio voice&quot; announcer never shuts up and the fight is not so much operator skill and builder creativityrandom metal boxes running into each other with other stuff happening. A classic example of not understanding what makes a show entertaining and turning up every other factor. <br/><br/>The producers should be taken out and beaten with a pneumatic cylinder.
