We got a real kick out of this! I was surfing channels and stopped on Battle Bots. Lily immediately stopped what she was doing and started intently watching. We stayed on the channel and she didn't want to miss a thing!
Of course, there is the noise as well as all the colors on the screen, but usually, our pups become interested in the TV only when there are animal sounds and images.
Battle Bots, if you aren't aware of what it is, is very interesting. It's a contact sport with machines instead of human or animal bodies. It takes real engineering skill to build the robots, operating skill to "drive" them, and the "matches" are in a controlled environment where no one can get hurt. Most of the contestant teams are engineers and engineering students. MIT and other excellent engineering schools are well represented in the mix.
We enjoyed watching Battle Bots a couple of evenings ago when we stumbled upon it while surfing channels.
Lily enjoyed it, too.
