Won’t it be great when they are ripping each other apart limb by limb?

Hey, Kari Byron is “nice” too! Not a bad view after she took off her welding helmet that she wore on “Myth Busters”.

It would. But prolly wouldn't happen in this messed up PC snowflake world. Even if the tech was available.

You were a negative two years old then? So that makes you 46. Right? Right.

I remember watching them back then but I don't know where you can see them if not on Youtube......

What amazes me is these are remote controlled 200 + lb. machines designed in garages and shops of the competitors. And for each round winner, they have to be repaired for the next round........

Incredible ingenuity......

I loved that show! Its been years since I’ve seen it.

I’m curious to see if the tech for it has changed since the early 2000s.

The competition became boring due to the prevalence of the wedge design. Have they addressed the design factors in a way that we will see varying designs and features?

looking forward to this!
