Who invented Battlebots?
Or, rather, who first came up with the idea of "robotic gladiatorial games"?

3. Cool
America has two or three such series...

Wouldn't surprise me that the Brits did it first. After all, a sci-fi show in 1980 that's infinitely superior to star trek coined the term "robotic gladiatorial games". :D :thumbsup:
