The BBC Announces Robot Wars' Return To TV (bbc.co.uk)

Posted by Soulskill on from the watching-machines-fight-for-our-entertainment dept.

Blacklaw writes: The BBC has announced that Robot Wars, the classic metal-mashing amateur robotics competition, is returning for a new series. They are building an all-new battle arena — following the sale of the original for scrap in 2005. "The new series includes a raft of technological advances since the show first aired over a decade ago, and viewers can expect to see more innovative fighting machines as teams of amateur roboteers battle it out to win the coveted Robot Wars title."

    Nah the Brits love to rip off 'merica.
    Cricket is a cheap ripoff of Baseball.
    Dr. Who is a cheap ripoff of Star Trek
    They even double down by making a Red Dwarf a cheap ripoff of Voyager.
    The Office is a cheap ripoff of The Office
    And British football vs Football.

    Facts just get in the way of a closed world view.
