Bill Nye was the technical expert on the television show BattleBots!
Most 90's kids know Cornell University Professor William Sanford Nye. But they probably know him better as "Bill Nye the Science Guy."
Wonderful were the days when a substitute wheeled a portable television in the classroom and put on an episode of "Bill Nye" for your entertainment. He was cooky and his experiments were lots of fun.
What you probably didn’t know is that this guy was the technical expert on the television show BattleBots!
BattleBots held most of it's competitions in the San Francisco area, and competitors were remote-controlled armed and armored machines, designed to fight to death in an arena combat elimination tournament.
