You're combining 2 shows there. The obstacle course was after both of those. The house bots was on TNT or something like that if I remember right. Battlesbots was on at 9am on comedy central. Then there was junkyard wars...

It was actually on TLC originally. Owned by the same company but whatever. I remember thinking how gay a channel could be yet have such an awesome show.

That was ill, it seems like a specific type of robot, those close to the ground and with horizontal spinning weapons always won which is why I never watched the show regularly. It's still the best reality show made.

Yeah, that show was awesome. Wasn't there called Robot Wars or something and people used crazy stuff like flamethrowers. I'm pretty sure that was the one with the referee bot that had a fire extinguisher attached to it. 

I remember one where Toro flipped somebody and then lit its rope tail on fire. Why don't people still do this, technology is better now, the weapons would be insane. Somebody make a ski themed robot that spins a ski with really sharp edges, or uses a sharpened pole as a spear or something.
