Robot Wars

I've watched a couple episodes on the Science channel in the USA and have given up on it because the announcer is horrible. Way way too much fake excitement. I suspect we get an "Americanized" version and the UK original broadcasts have a better announcer. I also agree with other reviewers that the arena is too busy. Too many matches are decided by one robot ending up in the pit. Robot battles should be decided by how the robots stack up against each other not which one falls in a hole first. I enjoy the creativity shown by some of the builders but I can't stand the lame announcer and it doesn't work to have the sound off either. My wife suggestes they should have one of the British or Scottish golf announcers do the fight commentary. That could make it great.
