Fresh off his return from the briny deep, James Cameron is set to create a television show for the Discovery Channel called Robogeddon. Similar to BattleBots and Robot Wars, the program will feature a competitive death match of sorts, where robots tear each other to shreds in pursuit of being the last machine standing. In addition to Cameron’s participation, the show will also feature the stamp of Mark Burnett — famous for such reality television titles as Survivor, Shark Tank and The Voice. It’s also said that Donald Hutson, the two-time Super Heavyweight Champion of BattleBots, will be among the show’s competitors. No date is set for when we’ll see the sparks fly, but if you want to get in on the ground floor, might we suggest hitting your local scrapyard?
