See Giant Robots Fight. US vs Japan Match On YouTube (cnbc.com)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the everybody-was-robot-fighting dept.

AmiMoJo writes: Suidobashi Heavy Industries and MegaBots agreed to test their piloted giant robots in combat a few years back, and the content is finally available on YouTube. It ended in a draw, with Japan decisively winning the first bout with a single punch and the US team winning the second thanks to a chainsaw weapon. There have been some complaints that the whole event felt scripted, but it's early days yet. ITMedia has a nice gallery of photos from the event. "The MegaBots team expressed hope for a formal fighting robot league in the future," reports CNBC.

    Wheel loader fight

    Done in under two minutes, without the 25 minutes of vapid hype from dressed-up twits wearing sunglasses inside.
