New RobotWars/Battle Bots on ABC

Thought I'd stick this here for those interested. The first two shows are up on YT.

Not a bad watch, bit OTT in the usual american style, but some of the robots are frickin' cool

Only watched the first fight, Razorback v. Icewave.

Rb took off Ice's front blade and a wheel, Ice was crippled but beached itself on top of Rb.
Neither could move - And the result was awarded to Ice!

Ridiculous - and I had to skip the first third to get there.

Bring back Sgt.Bash.

The Tested channels pit walkarounds on youtube are worth a watch.

I always felt that this type of program was crying out for a much more technical style of presentation. Sports announcers and host who clearly know bugger all about the engineering stuff are all wrong to my mind.
