Blendo (1995) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKbE7ocZBHI How Lethal Was Blendo REALLY? - Adam Savage’s Tested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKbE7ocZBHI

My favorite Robot Wars bot would be SPS 2 who was lighter than air - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26Y-ERX9kyI (1995)

The original videos had more of the Bloodsport feeling than the later more commercial products - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Robot+Wars+1995... (Includes footage with Marc Thorpe)

We hoped for Bladerunner, instead they decimated global poverty and disease. Maybe there are underground tournaments out there somewhere....

Your Adam Savage Tested link is wrong, it's the same as the Belndo (1995) link.

I didn't hear about Robot Wars until 1996 (when I hastily put together a robot for Robots Wars III). What a fun and cool time when it was still "punk".
