How many flyer bots were there in the sport I recall maybe 2 from wikipedia, also how do you guys think a water-based combat robot event would look like sort of like racing boats but with combat?

they have this:

I assume they're a lot more stringent with weapon rules, since these vehicles have obvious weak points.

I looked at the rules; the only weapons allowed are BB guns, up to 150 psi, and not elevated above the horizontal. There are also rules about how strong the boat's hull can be, so you can't make it unsinkable.
It looks fun though, if you don't try to compare it to Battlebots or Robot Wars. They're really not the same at all.

model warship combat seems really nice.
Now model airplane combat would be even nicer. But lots and lots of money lost on cameras and stuff.

I swear to you guys there was a submarine version of robot wars 5 10 years ago.
It got cancelled quickly due to the safety issues (Pilot fight ended with both opponents tangling each other due to the fact they were tethered with wires) and I can't find it anywhere (Making me think it was a segment of a different show) but it was interesting.

Techno Games had some water stuff I think.
