And so it begins. The Sciience Channel is promoing Killer Robots: RoboGames 2011 about twice an hour now. The actual show will be broadcast Memorial Day at 9:00 PM (check you local listing for times). The robot with the red tires is ours. Combat robots are back on TV!!!
• Promo for Killer Robots: RoboGames 2011. Thanks to Hal for being tech savy enough to get this off his TIVO!

How cool - might just have to watch. The science of it amazes it.

If somebody figures out how to play this, let me know. I couldn't get it to work with RealPlayer. I really enjoyed the last one...so did William. I will definitely be looking for the show in Memorial Day. Thanks, Jean!

Files ending in .mov are played with QuickTime (or a compatible player).
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

Nope, Quicktime nor Real Player...still not working. I guess I'll just wait for the REAL show in a few weeks.

Finally tried it and, despite the .mov ending for the link, the actual video file that came up ended in .m4v instead. If you don't have the proper video decoder for .m4v, it's not going to play, so I would recommend the
VLC Media Player.
What I DID get was just an ad, but the original message DID say it was a promo, not an actual battle as the last one had been.

That's why, after my VERY stressful day, I'm just going to wait for the MAIN EVENT! LOL!
