I watched the show. Interesting. I would like to know.... what caused all the sparking? and why did it not completely shut the robot down? Were these sparks somehow staged for more excitement? Chris

Yes, staged to let the audience know when there was a solid hit, but purely special effects. I think season 2 will have a different format.

I would like to see them move on their own without a giant "training wheel" stand and tether right behind it. It could be two, four or six legs or even wheels and tracks. Give them good weapons like a chainsaw , circular saw, jaws of life or something. It doesnt need to be over the top just Draw first blood the first two rounds and then the third is fight to the finish... till the robot cant defend itself or time runs out.

Big thumbs up on Josh's idea!

I've always been curious as to if those bots would stand without the stand. Anyone know the answer to that?
