BattleBots Delayed, Will Go Brains Over Babes

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the more-engineering-the-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We got all excited earlier this week about robo-combat returning to TV with ESPN, but now PopMech super geek Erik Sofge talks to the folks at BattleBots and finds out that because of so many early entries, the competition will be delayed until at least November. The reason? Gone are the babes and predictable wedge fights, in are eager engineering students, a crazy ramp arena and lots of new rules. Worth the wait, or do we miss the Comedy Central version?"

    I agree that loosing the 'babes' is a good thing.

    Who are you "loosing the babes" on? You can loose those babes my way, I'll take any loose babes you have.

    Now if they are losing the babes then that's an entirely different thing...

    I don't know about you, but I did watch MythBusters before she even was on the show. ;-)

    It's rather demeaning to say small town people aren't geeky enough to know what they are doing. Stop measuring people by the length of their bad haircut or how thick their glasses are. Geeks and smart people in general come in all shapes and sizes. Let's not forget, with the internet, even the most remote people have access to tons and tons of information, etc.
