Re: Battlebots I.Q.- A serious threat to FIRST or a half thought up cheep copy?

They tried Battlebots here but it never got near to our own Robot Wars series, which ran for 7 seasons (although nothings been heard of it since 2003).

I cannot see either of the 2 FRC teams from the UK jumping ship to a Battlebots spin off...

I suppose it's like FIRST and Techno Games (UK equivelant of Battlebots I.Q. from what I can gather, albeit less violent). Techno Games was popular here, but most teams were younger than FIRST teams from what I'm aware of...
