First, everyone involved in the sport knows they aren't technically robots. It's just a more convenient term. When people get all up in my grill about it, I use the term 'fighting machines'. Ironically, the major problem with robotic combat since BB went off the air is that the machines have become too destructive, and we've started running out of robots (and people willing to completely rebuild after every event.) A superheavyweight called Super Megabyte was so dominate the division was essentially extinct until it retired. Just search for "super megabyte" on youtube.
