#nhrl — Public Fediverse posts

The March competition from #NHRL inspired me to crunch numbers.

It's not much, but it's a thing. Maybe more thing come later.

Settling in for some #PrimeTime viewing on a 2-hour delay. Really looking forward to it. Don't spoil it for me too badly!

I really enjoyed the live audience voting in the #RobotRampage World Cup. I always play that game at home anyhow - trying to guess what's going to happen before it does is a really good prompt to thinking more deeply about what you're watching. And if you've followed me for a while you've seen me put out polls on this sort of thing.

So, yes, I'm very glad to see #BattleBots will be doing something similar with their new show. They won't be live, so it's a little different, because some small minority of the votes know for a fact who wins, but still... it's a nice gesture.

#NHRL does live shows, and are generally quite good at being online. I wonder if they've experimented with this sort of thing as a live-audience engagement thing before?

Honestly, I prefer #NHRL primarily because they're producing more new, regularly-scheduled, high-quality competition shows in places I can easily watch.

If #BattleBots went back to a championship every year plus FaceOffs or whatever... frankly I'd just watch both. I'm not so strapped for screen time that I have pick one or the other.

Anyone aware of "Battle of Robots" at "Games of the Future" coming up in a week? What is the ruleset, exactly? Single-elim bracket?

It's weird for an event with the largest 1st-place cash prize ever to have so few details available. And when I tried to watch what I could find of their one previous event, I was more confused than anything.

#combatrobotics ... not #NHRL or #BattleBots but I don't know what tags one would use for visibility ... #GamesOfTheFuture I guess?
