[Quiet Man Cometh]

Yeah, I remember that stuff! Though I can't say I won't get shows mixed up.

I remember only three robots really well, I think. Ziggo, which was a reigning champion that I the designer named after his cat. Looked like an upside-down silver bowl with claws out the side that would spin really fast. I saw it lose once when it went up against something really heavy and when the claws caught it warped from the spinning.

There was one called "Grendel" which was green and had a long hammer-arm. Not terribly effective but I thought the idea was cool.

The one I liked I can't remember, but it was also a champion at one point; 6 wheels, clear kevlar casing, low and heavy.
