I've been watching for quite a while now. For those that aren't = familiar it is a show where guys build radio controlled robots equipped = with lethal killing weapons, (rotating blades, chain saws, hammers, = flippers, spikes, etc), and then go to battle with each other in an = arena. Some of these things weigh up to 600 pounds and are packed with = serious power. Many of them can take a major beating. There are timed = rounds and judges keep score on damage. There are hazards such as = retracting blades and spikes from the floor, flames, and other fun = stuff. Winners move on to the next level and whoever is left standing = at the end of the season wins the prestigious trophy for the best = senseless destruction machine. Pretty cool huh? These shows air on TNN = and Comedy Central. The battle Bots web page is here: = http://www.battlebots.com The Robot Wars page is here: = http://www.robotwars.com Anyway, Robot Wars recently added a new feature to their arena hazards. = They now occasionally drop heavy objects from the Ceiling. I was = watching an episode a few days ago and the dropped an old 1970's era = Wurlitzer organ onto a bot. The thing smashed to pieces upon impact. = The bot it landed on, (named Snuckems), was already pretty well = demolished anyway and was billowing out smoke from internally. The = Wurlitzer however pretty much finished the job. Finally, a practical use for all those worthless organs dealers keep = stockpiling in storage!
