As you can plainly tell by looking at my avatar <--- , I watch BattleBots. If you watched it last night, Tuesday, November 27, Bill Dweyer went back to his college to check out their robot. When the segment ended, he noted that they lost in pre-qualifing. I may be wrong, but I think that only the top 20 (ish) robots make it past pre-qualifing in their weight class. With six or eight weeks of shows, including the special hour-long finals shows, there is only room for a certain number of the better robots to fit into the season of shows, so the majority of robots are KOed from the competition in the pre-qualifing, or seeding, matches.

PS: I watch BattleBots because I feel that I can learn a bit of strategy from it, in some way or another.
