Still waiting for a battlebots season, would love to see a bunch of lockheed and NASA funded battlebots go head to head. Incredible wins, I lacked the leadership skills to build a competitive team, our robots were barely useful past being a moveable brick, mostly my design skills or lack thereof.

The Battlebots/Robot Wars metagame got so stale. It was just down to 'put as much kinetic energy into a spinning weapon as possible, and pray that you survive the first impact'

I wish there'd been 'competitive robotics' when I'd been at school in the 80s/early 90s, though. Maybe it'd have pushed me more towards electronics or mechanical engineering rather than focusing so much on coding. But the technology wasn't quite at the point where it became practical.
