In the future, robots are projected to have all kinds of uses: science, engineering, and... sports? Speculative Fiction frequently uses shorthand for the audience to know it's The Future, and there's often no better way than demonstrating something high tech being used for Mundane Utility. In comes the robots which are widespread enough to cater to an entire entertainment industry. Whether they're the center of the work, used for a one off gag, or using sports as a visual motif these robots are a spectator sport regardless of whether they're fully autonomous or piloted by humans. Sister Trope to Robot Maid. Compare Muggle Sports, Super Athletes. |

Futurama: When discussing Blernsball in "Fear of a Bot Planet", Bender mentions another league for robot athletes, which Leela finds unimpressive on a conceptual level. In "Bend Her", the Olympics has separate events for robots (like bending) and humans (like limbo). Bender pretends to be a fembot to face less competition and undergoes a sex change in order keep his winnings (after he and the gang hear, "All medalists are required to report for gender testing"). |

CONTROL's Ridiculously Human Robot Hymie takes their place, and Hilarity Ensues as he effortlessly wins the Track and Field without even changing out of his suit, though there's a last-minute crisis when his battery runs down just before the finish line. | |
