When do we get 'Ultimate Battle Bots'? No limits - explosives, flames, chemical attack, projectiles. Total destruction! Viewed remotely for safety - armored cameras and drone shots, displayed on big screens!

Then you just get modern warfare miniaturized. I guess that could be fun to watch if well presented, but I've been thinking it would be cool to just have a bigger, more rugged battlebox that demands more versatile movement, rather then having everyone just trying to hug the metal floor as closely as possible.

  Really? Machine guns and flamethrowers you 'guess' could be fun to watch? I'd rather watch that, than a glorified pancake flipper. But never mind us. Do we imagine there isn't a market for battle robot shows with grenades and machine guns? Do it in an arena, and there you are: a hit show. Put cameras on all the bots so we can get into the action. {edit: arena}

    they will shoot each other from half mile distance, I don't think it will be interesting show.

  A larger arena, possibly outside in a field or rocky-ish desert area with 5v5 battles would be a lot more interesting. The large team sizes would spice up the plain old spinner vs flipper dynamic. The cameras filming it could just be drones following the battle from above.

    Plus POV cameras on every bot! They're cheap, and imagine the view from a tank as it fires plus the view as it hits! And the view from the target as it takes the hit. Lots of action!

explosives, flames, chemical attacks, projectiles? You think too small. The clear winner of the no limits battle bots are nuclear tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles. Or whoever nudges asteroids to collide with Earth such that the crust melts evenly.
