Book Bombardment 2

---Gearheads--- Brad Stone
So, what we have here is a history of robot combat. He details a bit about Survival Research Labs and teh early guys doing independent robot battles, as well as various events at colleges and SF conventions. Later of course we have the Robot Wars and Battlebots 'official' events. There were UK versions as well. Anyhow, a good look at how the robotic combat scene (at least as a televised/promoted event) came and went, due largely to personal conflicts and pettiness. Sad.
