Ultimate fighting robots

http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadge...gue-172089.php


Nerds of the Robot Fighting Leaguethe one that was on Comedy Centralare proud of their metal creations. But in the end, theyre just Roombas with hammers and saws attached.

Our tech-inclined friends over in Japan, however, have taken it to the next step. Weve never lost money by overestimating their love of humanoid robots, but this just blew our minds. The Japanese have an actual Ultimate Fighting Robots league where the contestants actually look like robots should.

Unfortunately, the bots are only about a foot tall, but this is a step in the right direction. Kudos, Japan. Youre working hard to bring the inevitable Human-Robot Wars upon us that much quicker.
