Throughout Hollywood’s history robots have been depicted in movies and TV shows doing extraordinary things with unique and complex capabilities. For example, this summer ABC brought back the robot competition show entitled “Battlebots” which originally aired on Comedy Central 12 years ago. In this competition, teams build small robots that can attack their competitor’s robot in a glass dome arena. The last robot standing and still functioning is the winner. This season “BattleBots” averaged 4.6 million viewers with a demographic of watchers between the ages of 18 – 49 years old. With millions watching robots demolishing each just for fun, imagine the possibility of robots competing against each other or possibly humans in sports.
