Some people still stage their own battles, but on TV these types of
shows have pretty much gone the way of the Hula Hoop. TV has a limited
attention span, with new shows constantly trying to replace the old
ones. They no longer air Gilligan's Island, for example.

If you feel like visiting atlanta, GA around Labor Day, you could check
out robot battles at Dragon*Con:

http://www.robotbattles.com/
http://www.dragoncon.org

You could also try to find a hobby robotics club near where you live.
Here in atlanta we have AHRC (www.botlanta.org)

    --BB and RW died due to a lawsuit that took place during the
"network consolidation" wars. Bottom line: when the lawsuit was over there
were no networks left that were interested in the events.
    --Many competitions are still going on, but the prizes are smaller.
The Robot Fighting League is an OK place to look for contests. URL:
