Weaponizers on Discovery

Anyone watching this?

It's a combination of junkyard wars/robot wars/deathrace 2000. Basically, two teams make vehicles into remote controlled, machine gun wielding, rocket firing, battle machines. Apparently, 10-year old me is in charge of programming on the Discovery channel.

The hosts have zero personality, the concept is unoriginal, and the scenes look staged.

It's mantastic.

Yeah I watched it, so many promising elements but I thought it fell short. Should there be more of a time limit on making the vehicles?

A week isn't too bad to come up with something remote controlled and incorporating all the crap that they need to put in it. But, it wasn't believable, the hosts seemed incompetent and I am sure a lot of stuff occurred off camera that was done by experts. I love mythbusters and they go thru plenty of complications for simple tasks. This is way more complicated and they make it seem easy.

But it is kind of cool.
