EDIT: Just noticed I bumped this, whoops ^^"
Well...
I remember my grandfather taping BattleBots a long time ago and I watched the show with him (it was the Las Vegas 1999 event) and I immediately became obssessed with robots (the heavyweight rumble did it for me lol) and I never saw BattleBots for years after that (The only cable company that aired Comedy Central here at the time was DirectTV). After a few months, TNT (now Spike TV I think) started airing RWEW and RW 4th wars and I taped every episode (except the first RWEW series). Then Robotica started airing and I saw every episode (I know the name of every Robotica robot). Eventually, after a boring day at school, I saw the RW Extreme series (the battle was Steel Avenger vs Tornado vs King B Powerworks) and started to tape the 5th wars, 6th wars, and the 7th wars. After a while I learned about RA2, downloaded it from the Atari website and joined here sometime in 2007, came back as Overload, and then switched back to S.T.C.
Typed all this on the wii :P
