@lemondrop saidI'm sure I saw some kind of competitive battlebot show on TV in the USA, but that might have been 15 or 20 years ago.
is it a sport?
a lot of money and engineering

Tombstone is my favorite so far
@wolfgang59 saidIt was cancelled after only 3 years, axed by the BBC.

(Especially from reputable sources like myself.)
Robot Wars was VERY successful.
Excluding repeats and compilations it was screened by the BBC for 5 years
then aired by Channel 5 before being taken off the screens for a while.
It was revived by the BBC and aired again from July 2016 to Jan 2018.
All in all there were 10 full series, 2 extreme series and 21 Special shows.
@lemondrop saidBattlebots is in its ninth season.

BattleBots is an offshoot of the original American version of Robot Wars.
