Japanese and US Piloted Robots To Brawl For National Pride

jfruh writes: Japan may have just lost the Women's World Cup to the U.S., but the country is hoping for a comeback in another competition: a battle between giant robots. Suidobashi Heavy Industry has agreed to a challenge from Boston-based MegaBots that would involve titanic armored robots developed by each startup, the first of its kind involving piloted machines that are roughly 4 meters tall. "We can't let another country win this," Kogoro Kurata, who is CEO of Suidobashi, said in a video posted to YouTube. "Giant robots are Japanese culture."

If you think the US, which has won 3 of the last 7 World Cups, and 4 of the last 5 Olympic Golds, could not have won without involvment from FIFA, you must be a Dumbfuckian.
