Smile Robotica

Anybody watch Robotica last night? It was the season premiere. They've stepped up the challenges a lot this year too. I thought it was all right, but that the KaNuckle Buster should've gone all the way - it just seemed to be a much better bot all around but was unlucky when it lost a drive chain in the second round. And for all you guys who don't like battlebots because of the "violence," there still is a lot of contact, but robots remain intact at the end of the day and teams have to complete a variety of different tasks.

~Tom Fairchild~, who thinks that Robotica isn't all that bad.

I got home at about 11pm. I took a quick shower, watched 5 minutes of Robitica, then went upstairs and watched Leno.

Oh, but the match I saw was the Gauntlet match with KaNuckle Buster. That was cool. Reminds me of the original Robot Wars.
