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.
