Yeah, that show was awesome. Wasn't there called Robot Wars or something and people used crazy stuff like flamethrowers. I'm pretty sure that was the one with the referee bot that had a fire extinguisher attached to it.
I remember one where Toro flipped somebody and then lit its rope tail on fire. Why don't people still do this, technology is better now, the weapons would be insane. Somebody make a ski themed robot that spins a ski with really sharp edges, or uses a sharpened pole as a spear or something.
