There were a lot of really cool ideas for robots.

Ha. I see no one else watched/liked this show! I was really into this back in the day, but guess I can't expect everyone else to share my enthusiasm. :oops:

I saw a few episodes of Battlebots. I thought they were pretty cool, but we didn't have cable back then. :(

Same here. I caught a few episodes of the various robot battle shows and thought they were awesome. I had just pretty much stopped watching TV by this point and so only saw them occasionally at other people's places.

I remember when I was a bit younger, maybe around 7-8 years old I used to watch Nickelodeon Robot Wars on Nick Gas. I miss that show in all honesty, used to watch it all the time but I can't really remember many details unfortunately.
