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. :)
