"Robot boxing isnÂ’t just for your little RockÂ’em SockÂ’em game anymore. In the new Syfy series Robot Combat League, metal giants dole out powerful punches on other robots. Much like in the Hugh Jackman-starring Real Steel, competitors shadowbox in an exo-suit that translates every uppercut and right hook to their mechanical avatars.
The show began with an idea from producers Jeremy Whitham and Craig Plestis. They gave the duties of creating the showÂ’s robots to Mark Setrakian, whose credits include the animatronic effects in Hellboy, Men in Black, and Batman Forever. He was also a competitor on the Bill Nye-hosted show BattleBots in 2000."
