Robot Wars was TLC, IIRC...back when TLC ever showed anything I was interested in. And yes, I know about Deadblow, hence namechecking Grant. :) Deadblow was one of my faves, although I also have the Blendo toy.
Aha, heh. See, I wasn't sure whether you knew, or were just reacting to the fact that, whatever the testing challenge happens to be on MythBusters, Grant's answer is to build a robot. :)
Deadblow has even shown up a couple of times on Mythbusters.
I like that the ESPN version is going to use the environment of the arena to evolutionarily select against wedge designs, rather than simply trying to ban 'em and then get into arguments over what is and isn't a wedge.
