    So, I saw the last fifteen minutes of the US premiere of Robotica last night on TLC.

    I'm sorry, but I have to vote for Battle 'Bots.

    I admit that I would like to see something that challenges the 'bots and drivers more than BB, but Robotica to me was just cheese. They go though these little test before a very weak pushing match.

    I will also the only commentator I like between the two shows is Bill Nye. The rest can just go away.

    Even though I am very disappointed in the genre as a whole, Robotica doesn't add enough to make it worth my while. I'll stick to Battle 'Bots.

    (And yes, this is a lame editorial, but I'm at work so I'm writing fast so I can get back to work.)

    Nope. I haven't seen it.

    I would like to see a version of RoboRally.

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
