I've recently became somewhat addicted to Robot Wars on TechTV. The announcer is annoying and the show is cheesy, but when the matches begin, it's awesome as hell. It goes a while without anything cool for a while, but then you'll get a robot like Razer or Hypno-Disc that simply dominate. I didn't think those robots were very powerful until I saw Hypno-Disc (a robot with a 90 MPH steel saw on it) literally saw through a half inch of metal and rip the sides off of the other bot.

Razer was pretty badass too. It has a hydraulic claw on the top. On that one episode, Razer clamped down on the other robot and pierced through its steel shell. Then it picked it up in the air (those robots weight like 50 pounds minimum) and tossed it in the pit.

Anyone else like this show?
