Robot combat?

[Jay Johnson <tallyjay-at-bigbangrobotics.com>]

Steve and Paul,
There has been a real groundswell of local robot
combat events in the US in the last two years.  Check
out http://www.botleague.com for an event schedule. 
Rumor is that BattleBots is working on a comeback TV
deal for November, but you never know about something
like that until it happens.  There are probably a
couple hundred teams that could be considered "active"
in this sport in the US.  Less TV exposure, but more
local events to attend!
