Where technology and culture collide

The Robo-One 9 event held in Tokyo March 18 and 19 featured some awesome ROBOT FIGHTS. These are fully humanoid Japanese robots with moves right out of the WWF. The champion, OmniZero.2, takes out his opponents with "body slams," "reverse body slams," a move called the "crouching jab," and another called the "double windmill." Plus some really fancy footwork. I want one. Here comes the VIDEO!

simon said...: Mike, it's cool, thanks for adding the link to my page. I've removed my comment claiming plagiarism. I guess over-reacted a little. Cheers mate. Ps, people who can't view the wmv file, try the google video.; Thursday, March 30, 2006 7:46:00 AM
