Battlebots used to be on Comedy Central in the US, but they dropped it. Not presently broadcast anywhere.
IMHO, Battlebots was more like a sport, while Robot Wars was more like professional wrestling entertainment. One-on-one timed matches, elimination-style, in three weight classes. No limit on spending, but limits on what you are allowed to do (no projectiles, no tanglers). And every once in a while, they'd take all the still-functioning losers and put them in a 20-bot cage match, which was also fun.
