Re: what happened to...
Hi Paul,
I think you've hit on 2 very important things there.
1. Getting on TV seems an odd aim,,,, why are we fighting for this? We do also all need to be united. The Internet is a great tool, I think we should focus on this, and not necessarily on making money. If stuff turns out to be good people will want to part with money (obviously you'll need to have a good business mind)..
2. The competition nature of the shows is very important. Routing for a certain robot gives the audience a vested interested in what's going on. I remember really caring whether Chaos 2 won or not, and this would be true in any sport. It's why betting exists in almost all sports! The current format of shows doesn't really allow this, they're micro competitions. The FW Champs does, but it's only 59 robots and one weekend a year. The internet could be a good portal to allow more audience participation and follow their favourite robot.
