Can’t really see the appeal of watching robots race each other, the post season Netflix series would be rather dull.

- notnaut 2y agoThis is a fun way to imagine how it might go: https://youtu.be/ZMQbHMgK2rw?si=4KQPxc1yAyWzeatO https://youtu.be/ZMQbHMgK2rw?si=4KQPxc1yAyWzeatO
- swores 2y agoI personally found that quite boring after the first 6 seconds, but of course I don't speak for anyone other than myself so maybe I'll soon be the only person in the world who doesn't find that remotely interesting as a spectator sport?
- squigz 2y agoPart of the reason why micromouse is fascinating is not necessarily the "play-by-play" action, but rather the technological and mechanical skill that goes into running them so successfully - sort of like F1 being more engineering-focused than other forms of racing
- robotguy 2y agoFrom what I understand, F1 is about "emphasizing the importance of driver talent and creating a level playing field", hence the ban of tech like traction control. As an engineer, I'd love to see what the technology could do if unleashed. However, it's probably expensive and I doubt will catch the interest of anyone but uberNerds like me.
- squigz 2y ago> F1 is about "emphasizing the importance of driver talent and creating a level playing field" Someone should tell Max and Red Bull about this :P
- lambdaone 2y agoYes. Micromouse was exactly what I was thinking of.
- DrSiemer 2y agoDid you consider what will happen once we have this working and we add nitro boost, random wrecking balls, surprise ice segments, collapsable terrain and guns?
- Asraelite 2y agoYeah, Robot Wars was pretty popular so I don't see why something with 10x more action wouldn't be as well.
