Robot Wars

There was a program that originated in the UK called Robot Wars. It was the closest thing to reality TV that I have ever watched. It was great for geeks, engineers, mechanics, and anyone who ever wanted to build something and do battle with another. Here's a clip showing a typical night in the arena.

This is one show I'd like to see return to TV. The technology has changed, along with the interest and knowledge to use it. I think there would be a whole batch of new ideas, and a larger number of young people ready to take their enthusiasm from the video screen to real life.

What do you say BBC? Give it some serious thought. There's a whole new crowd of guys just waiting to do battle. Let get to it.
