Seeing as this section is fairly dead, I've decided to take a spin at trying to give it some life, in the form of a debate section on Robot Wars, along with Battlebots the most successful and prominent robotic combat show in history.
How will this work? Basically, I'll be asking for 6 people to take a side, creating 2 sides of 3. There will be quality control on who gets these slots (for example, a coherent poster will beat out a Sylandro for a certain slot). Anyone else is welcome to post in the thread, but they mustn't overshadow the 6 individuals discussing the subject at hand. I will also post as a neutral voice in an attempt to point out flawed logic, but otherwise, I will remain silent. After a certain amount of time, non-participants may vote in the thread, bolding the name of the team they think won the debate (in the event of a tie, I will unbalance the vote). After a winner has been determined, the next debate will be set up and priority will be given to those who did not participate last time.
This is the general discussion thread for the events. Post any ideas for topics you wish to debate (I already have one on the subject of TAN) and give me feedback if you wish to partake in a debate. Ask any questions too.

Im interested, but this could turn into a flame war.
-
Rules will be put in place for that, so don't worry.
-
If it DOES turn into a flame war, then the person who started it, clearly doesn't know what a debate is.
-
what exactly are we debating here, as in what is the robot wars-related subject at hand

Offer suggestions, though I do have an idea for the first one. I just need more interest.
-
Count me in then.
-
Yeah I'm in.
-
Why can't we all just discuss it now?
-
This ain't a jury.
-
Why can't we all just discuss it now?
Because I have no way to judge how many are interested.
-
can you explain just what this is?

It doesn't need to be a formal debate, we can just talk about it and not worry about those things.

I want to keep the debate focused and not spin out of control.
I'll put the topic of the first debate up later.

Im in.

Hey its avalanche. Haven't seen you in a while.
-
I'd like to talk bots.
-
I'd be up for it
