I couldn't think of anything about Robot Wars per se, but here's a quote from the Sprawl Survival Guide, p36, from the Personal Combat bit of the Sports Overview section:
That's about it, I'm afraid! I would assume that the program continues in some form or other, using low-tech robots as seen today, but probably only a "student" thing. The big boys would be playing pro-drone combat in large arenas, with live weaponry. Bring on the Anthroforms!!!!!!! :ork: |

IIRC, Robot Wars is the UK equivalent of Battlebots in the States. It's basically build a couple remote control robots with various bits of weaponry attached, then shove two in a ring and have them go at each other until one is destroyed.

Well, I don't know about 2060, but in 3060, an ERPPC kicks major butt!
