Basically, Robot Wars was fun till it got popular. Before, it was just ordinary guys building stuff with often useless weapons, like really weak spikes or pickaxes. And the teams would be kids and their dads, and the kid would completely fuck up and drive their robot straight into one of the houserobots or something.

Later on it just got boring, no more obstacle courses or games other than fighting, and the participants were just hardcore tech geeks who thought they were amazing for driving around a lawnmower on TV.
