Has anyone seen Comedy Central's wonderful contribution to TV lately? This show just rocks !!!! I was kinda let down at first when I saw these machines were R/C rather than AI like the major tech universities pit up against each other every year but, once I saw the action, I was very impressed...
I mean a 5ft. titanium sword on wheels hacking away at this other spinning contraption was unreal, and these things are pretty big too! I've noticed a trend for the spinning bots to usually win cuz' they usually smack the wheels clean off of their opponents then finish the job while the operators, who I must say are equally entertaining, use catch phrases like "Who's bitch are you now?" while holding a transmitter and a tongue in cheek expression. Anyway, you can't really put it in words, you just gotta watch it...really good stuff!
