''Robotica'' is a robot combat show (similar to the early seasons of ''Robot Wars'') produced for the American television cable channel TLC, a subsidiary of the Discovery Channel. Three seasons of ''Robotica'' were produced. The shows first aired in April 2001, with the final season beginning in late 2002. Show hosts for the first season were Ahmet Zappa, Tanika Ray, and Tanya Memme. For the second and third seasons, Dan Danknick replaced Tanika Ray. ==Season 1== Each preliminary show in the first season of ''Robotica'' featured four robots weighing as much as 210 pounds paired off in a series of three challenges.〔Robotica Season 1 rules (Toast.net )〕 The winners of each pairing faced each other in a Robot-sumo style "Fight to the Finish" to determine the winner of the show. *The first challenge was The Speedway. Robots raced in opposite directions around a figure-8 track. Robots were awarded 10 points for each lap completed (up to 8), with an additional 20 points awarded to the winner. This challenge had a two-minute time limit. *The second challenge was The Maze. Robots negotiated obstacles in two identical, twisting courses that met in the middle. Five obstacles (teeter ramp, push box, rotating paddles, guillotine, and waterfall) worth 15 points each, plus 25 points for the first robot to the center platform. This challenge had a three-minute time limit. *The third challenge was The Gauntlet. Robots crashed through barrier walls of increasing difficulty. Five barriers (glass pane, paint cans filled with sand, bricks, concrete paving stones, and a heavy safe) worth 15 points each, plus 25 points to the first robot to complete the course. This challenge had a three-minute time limit. Total points were added for the three events to determine a winner. In the event of a tie, the robot who won the greater number of events advanced. The Fight to The Finish took place on a 16' by 16' platform elevated high above the floor. A low guard rail surrounded the platform for the first minute and then fell away. The last robot on the platform moved on to the finals. The finals worked the same way as the preliminary shows, except there were six robots, competing in three pairs. Three robots met in the Fight to the Finish. The winner of the show was awarded the largest cash prize in robot combat to that date: $12,000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robotica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
