Not to brew up a huge debate, but pitting to remote-controlled machines against one another appears to be more-closely linked to destruction, as opposed to the concept of violence, which carries a strong connotation of human against human bloodshed, crime, etc. Personally, I believe there isn't too much wrong with a BattleBots concept, other than the fact I feel first is wrongfully overshadowed(and that is based on FIRST's purpose versus that of BattleBots). Just a few thoughts, because it seems like many speak of BattleBots as though it is hurting someone, or putting someone at risk or causing some kind of damage to something becides a machine which is created for that sole purpose. There's my 2¢. But I've been wrong before.
