Don't confuse the show with the reality. With a few exceptions, I have seen GP to the extreme demonstrated at Battlebots.
Agreed. While having no first-hand experience myself, one of the people lightly involved with our team is a former Battlebots participant. He's got a lot of very good knowledge on robot design and designing components to be durable, light, and field-repairable.

While I have to cringe when Battlebots is all that many outsiders can relate to, I don't always like the Battlebots bashing that runs rampant, either.
