Ah, Battlebots. If only they'd get rid of the stupid inter-bout interviews and the cheesy play-by-play, and just show the fights and Carmen Electra (preferably naked), it'd be a near-perfect show.
Why? Fire. Some of the 'bots use lawnmower engines which, when broken, leak gasoline and burn. I just got done watching a bout that had to be ended because one of the combatants was noticably en fuego. No other show I know of has that.
