Revision as of 19:55, 5 November 2017
Robotica was along with Battlebots, and Robot Wars one of the three Robot Combat game shows that aired on TLC, from 2001-2002 Unlike its peers it had a very different format, with each robot going through different obstacles, with the robot that gets the most points making the combat stage called "The Fight to the Finish" The series is considered partially found as one episode: Season 2, Episode 2 has been lost since the show stopped airing in 2002.
Discovery Networks still owns the masters for Robotica, and Season 3 did have a brief re-run on The Science Channel in 2009. This was the lesser known of the three Robot Combat shows, and wasn't as popular as its rival shows, only managing a total of 3 seasons, and 21 episodes before being canceled in late 2002 due to poor ratings, and the sport returning to its live event roots with reruns airing on TLC until sometime in 2003 when the show was finally taken off air. Unlike Battlebots, and Robot Wars the show has not been rebooted as of 2017, and it is unknown if it ever will be.
Seasons
Season 1
Season 1 consisted of 7 episodes, unlike other seasons this season of Robotica had a third event called "The Speedway", and a completely different version of "The Gauntlet", and "The Maze". In the following seasons The Speedway would be completely nixed, and both The Gauntlet, and The Maze would go through a complete redesign. This season was won by Run Amok, which unlike other seasons fought three robots in the Fight to the Finish.
