Watson and Crick should be correctly remembered for deducing the bond angles between the ribose sugars that hang the nucleaic acids, and that though crystalline xray images. Do they care that all the codons for Drosophilla have been enumerated? I doubt it.
"no Robot Wars is nothing more then a bunch of testosterone laden guys going out and beating the crap out of their respective robots."
I think that when you get out of high school you'll see that there is just as much of an engineering challenge in building these fighting robots. In the first place the basic parts aren't given to you in a box...
And FYI I am a FIRST judge in addition to being a Robot Wars builder, so don't flame me with all that "ooh, you don't know about FIRST" crud. I think FIRST is an excellent project but not at the detriment of all other events.
If you're in the San Jose regionals this year, I'll see you in the hanger...

the strategy in BattleBots is mind-bogglingly limited, as the only objective is to flip the other guy over.
You've clearly never seen the event.
