Currently, I think there are three TV shows devoted to remote-controlled
robotic contests:
"Battlebots" (Comedy Channel), "Robotica" (TLC), and "Robot Wars" (TNN -- from
London).

Robot Wars Extreme, the all new series is now showing on BBC 2 every Friday in
the UK.
Robot Wars : Deutschland
the German Robot Wars site: http://www.robotwars.tv/deutschland/

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
 consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, cryonics, individual
uniqueness, ego, human values, scientific relinquishment, malevolent AI,
non-sensory experience, SETI

We move into a better future in proportion as the scientific method
accurately identifies incorrect thinking.
