Robots in the Ring

By Gregory Mone Posted 12.04.2007 at 1:52 pm 0 Comments


This past weekend, Tokyo's 12th Robo-One Grand Championship featured 25 two-legged robots trying to punch and jab their way to victory. One of them even sang a Christmas carol, only to get knocked over by a punch form a penguin-headed robot. The winning warrior, which earns the title of world's strongest two-legged fighting robot, has to throw and dodge punches and pull Rocky-Balboa-like feats of getting back on its legs after a devastating blow. No lasers or missiles allowed.—Gregory Mone
