They could have shortened the painfully contrived interviews with human
atheletes and concentrated more on the designs of the robots. Use of the video
fast-forward through the interviews reduced each programme to around 10
minutes.
Not wanting to take anything away from the designs, but every entry was called
a robot when many were just machines, especially in the jumping/throwing
competitions. I'm sure this has been tackled here before somewhere, but does
anyone else see a difference between robots and machines?
