    hey I liked robot wars. I was the original designer for a style of robot. no I won't tell you which, yet.

    (this is the one they used to put on comedy central and only feature fights between players right? None of that maze stuff? If it is, by all means drop it)

    robot wars is boring...it would be cool if the robots had some better restrictions and not some robots that have hammers or fire(lets have a lil robot vs and robot with a big smasher)

    -edit-

    wasnt Comcast going to buy Disney?....comcast is going on some buying rage

    If they keep most of G4's original programming, cool anime-loving attituce, and general coolness and merged it with Techtv's overabundenance of useful info, were good, if they nuke Xplay, i'll be ****, but we'd also remove the 8 hours of infomercials midday

    The Comedy Central show was Battlebots.

    -----

    I used to watch Tech TV, but I found it rather 'light' in the intelligence department. Most of the shows seemed geared to the new computer user, and didn't have much substance for those "in the know." The morning shows were an exercise in boredom, as they reran the same five or so topics every half hour, over and over - but for some odd reason, they did so live! I never understood that. The afternoon shows continued the "lightweight' theme, and didn't sustain me. When my Dad got rid of digital cable to cut costs, I have to admit was I was dissappointed I wasn't going to be able to watch the station any longer. However, when I took the time to think back about my experiences with the show, I realized I rarely watched it, and when I did, it was background noise.

    It's a novelty. It's nice because it focuses on computers, but not worth the cost of getting it on digital cable.

    is robot wars the one from the UK was battle bots the one with a plexiglass cage? If that's the case, you may remove robot wars with all due speed. And all the due speed is dissallowed by physics as we know it.

    Robot Wars - <a href='http://www.robotwars.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.robotwars.com/</a>

    If I remember correctly, it was hosted by Mankind the WWF wrestler for a while.
