And if that doesn't sound appealing, you can stop reading now and go do something mature and productive.
On Memorial Day, the Science Channel is airing a special program called (what else?) Killer Robots, wherein Grant Imahara of MythBusters fame will pit robots against each other in a firey, gear-grinding fight to the death in a bulletproof arena.
This special TV event will guide viewers through the annual International Robogames Competition (a.k.a. the Olympics of robotics) in Silicon Valley, where shade-tree engineers and hardware hackers bring their DIY robo-monsters to show off and battle during a three-day tournament of sorts.
The crème de la crème of the event compete in the Heavyweight bracket. In this division, 220-pound deathbots battle until the last one standing is named "King of the Killer Robots." This bracket is the focus of the Killer Robots special; you can expect flame-throwing, blade-spinning and more metal-swapping crashes than a NASCAR rally.
We're including a small taste of the action below. Will you be tuning in?
