Didn't the whole robot combat thing start when someone tried to make their hoover remote controlled with it going out of control and smashing up their living room? Why not have machines that have to perform some other household function and then go fight.
- A robot that can mow grass and fights
- A robot that grinds coffee and fights
- A food processor that fights
- One of those sit up and down chairs that has a blade underneath
- A fighting BBQ
- A car jack that can also be used as a flipper
Machines have to prove that they can perform the primary function before fighting - no parts can be added or removed before fighting (saftey bars in place for function test if required).
Off the wall enough?

Robot Wars.........................
What is a robot? It is a machine or device that operates or performs tasks automatically or by remote control.
What is a War? it is a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country.
we could say The Robot Wars are, groups of robots, remotely controlled machines, in armed conflict in our country or arena.................
I am thinking of groups of robots fighting each other, in locations round the country. The conflict in Colchester, the battle of Barnsley. Different colours, different flags, but who wins the war!

speaking as someone who studied media for a while the most tv friendly battles would be the ones easiest to shoot and broadcast so the fewer bots in the arena the better from that perspective but it is very crowd pleasing to have big rumbles maybe also have an open voluntary competition ware its "binbag rules" ware basically the fight is purely judged on how much of the other robot will be going back in a bin bag and the only thing that is rewarded is pure destruction but make it a separate competition much like the annihilators of old were run
