Could we ever have a British (or other) equivalent of NHRC or RoboGames?
Post Body

*NHRL. Had rcracing.tv on my mind because it's also a great example of live broadcast.

Live events happen all over the UK, held by a whole set of groups. Two in particular make a profit as performances for audiences (Robots Live! and Extreme Robots/Roaming Robots), and therefore have dedicated production staff. However, both are geared entirely towards live audiences, and the focus is on the show more than the competition. BuggleBots has seen wide enjoyment as a web series but only as a post-production show, with months of editing.

Other events are streamed live, or recorded entirely and posted online as edited-down footage. But these are just competitor's recordings, without dedicated presenting.

RoboGames and NHRL (as well as that Brazilian Submarino event and FMB, though I'm unsure if either is still going) show live presenting can really make an event exciting for the fans and feel like a genuine sporting spectacle, especially with the extra bells and whistles of camera angles, interviews etc. But this takes huge coordination, effort and expense. Will we ever see something like this in the UK (or elsewhere)?
