For people who like robots.

Footage of The Rumble (3.48MB MPEG) shows eight robots with various fighting techniques battling it out. For example, one wields a knife while others use martial arts moves.

oh man thats awesome!!!

Much more classy than the traditional americanized battle bots.

i have somewhere a link with a shop where you can buy these things… holdon i’ll post it later this day… dhamm those things a cool

Haha, that’s cool ! Too bad the movie was so short.

get your butt in gear swoop, I want one of those to terrorize my cats :stuck_out_tongue:

I love the one with the knife!

Aww I just had a thought of what would be cool…

Instead of playing streetfighter on a screen, you have those robots in a cage act out your moves… Although that would create problems with the likes of sonic boom…

Oh well, I am sure one day it will be in the arcades in some shape or form.

I can’t wait for robotics to take off… American football with robots running on the field.
Your teams are
Honda vs Microsoft
MIT vs Nike
etc…
As soon as that happens and huge amounts of money will be spent on trying to out do each other and robotic research will race ahead.

i cant wait until those are lifesize

Yeah! These are soo cool.
