Here, here! I move that we outlaw all forms of destruction including--but not limited to--all automobile crash tests, materials tensile strength measurements, pyrotechnics of every sort, and--of course--that damned Gallagher and his giant mallet. His "comedy act" only glorifies the destruction of innocent fruits and vegetables which provide us with valuable vitamins and nutrients!
Ok, seriously, Battlebots is violence. But I don't believe it's a type of violence that easily translates into violence against humans. And besides, proper engineering requires testing until failure. This just happens to be a very entertaining form of failure and none of the aggresion leaves the arena; I think the only problem with Battlebots is that Comedy Central misrepresents it.
BTW, don't take your eye off the ball. There are much bigger problems out there, for whatever negative aspects you feel Battlebots promotes don't forget it's doing some things Dean has been trying to do for a while--like glorifying engineers.
Peace, Dan
