The one on Nickelodeon is supposed to be kid-built. They don't look kid-built. I'm assuming it's just the original Robot Wars people that have sons that want to hang around
Anyways, yes, it is awful.
Everytime I mention robotics it goes like this:
Me: "Yeah...I'm on robotics"
Other: "Ohh...thats cool...how can I join?"
Me: "Go to a meeting on so-and-so night"
Other: "Ohh...what's the robot do?"
Me: "Run around and grab onto stuff" (I say more than that, actually)
Other: "That's boring. I thought you killed stuff. I wanna be a battle bot"
Me: *visciously attacks 'Other'*
Then there are people that would join if they weren't "busy." "Ohh...I don't wanna miss school" I tell them they don't have to...they just kinda look at me then it ends
