Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

None. I can barely stand organized sports as it is; doing it with robots is creepy to me.

Love Woot!

I'd want to see some sort of zero gravity sport with robots. 0G Football with Jetpacks, 0G Boxing.

Robots should be doing more violent, gladiatorial stuff. It's ok for robots to tear each other apart, right?

Rugby. Us humans are weak and fleshy, but we still manage to cause a decent amount of carnage playing rugby. Think of how many broken parts would be strewn on the field after a match.

I can't believe yopu left out curling. What could be more sexy than a robot who combines playing sports with cleaning? It's got something for everyone. AY!

Well.. golf already has robots in the lab... now let's get them out on the course! No more missed fairways, no more "under pressure" duck hooks... No more "yips," just pure robot golf!

Kinda like my game now!

Boxing!!! You know you want to see Real Steel become a reality.

Or any of the other 10,000 fictional representations of robot boxing?

Fiction writers have always loved writing about boxers, perhaps more than any other athlete.

We're almost there. Many critics observe that the importance of the capability of the vehicles eclipsed the importance of the drivers skill some time ago, and it's all about who puts the most money in their cars these days.

Ok I generally hate golf. HATE it. But robot golf would be awesome. The game would be so much faster, no practice swings or anything.

Not to mention the probably about 2 strokes per hole average they would have.

All I have to say is that Base Wars was on of the funnest Nintendo games (aside from the usual classics and River City Ransom). If we could make this happen in real life, it would be the funnest game of baseball I'd have ever watched. Heck, I'd start watching baseball on TV just to see that!
