Shannon the DudeHOST
Didn't they have that years ago?
Billy RutledgeHOST
BattleBots was the show of the late 90s, early 2000s.
Billy RutledgeHOST
It was a
Shannon the DudeHOST
dumbed-down version of what I think we're about to experience when we actually have humanoid-looking robots fighting each other in an octagon.
Billy RutledgeHOST
Well, the thing about BattleBots was it was never as exciting as it could be.
Billy RutledgeHOST
It was always a little lame.
Billy RutledgeHOST
The best robot was the one that got the other one to flip on its side and couldn't move like a turtle.
Shannon the DudeHOST
There's nobody controlling the robots now.

And remember when BattleBots brought mechanized carnage to TV? Well, robots have come a long way since then.
Chad BensonHOST
BattleBots was fun.
Chad BensonHOST
Do you guys remember that? So it was like, mit kind of you know the nerds the the smart guys and gals they put together these robots and they would put them inside this giant like plastic arena and they'd smash into each other kind of like when we were kids right or what those those toppers and things like that when they'd smash into each other and each robot you designed it a certain way you'd give it a blade or this than the other this is totally different and i not only do i see this coming soon You know the NFL on Fox and they've got the robot? When does that happen? When do we decide, you know what, we don't need to kill each other.

Shayn JonesHOST
We gotta add the saws, we gotta add the grinders, and we gotta add some kind of gore to our robots, man.

I would be cautious regardless of what software you use because, again, it's not 100%.
