    “What?! Your heads off!”

    “Tis’ but a flesh wound! HAVE AT YEE!”

    *I love how one of the presenters is choke-laughing the whole time after it’s head comes off

    This looks sad. The obsession with humanoid robots is making less and less sense by the decade.

    Support your local robot battle scene.

      The obsession is actually in search of new tech markets to dominate. AI race, Ev Race, Solar Panel race, gig-economy race. There’s so much money and “realpolitik” in each of these. Sometimes early investments pay off like EV industry and sometimes they absolutely do not - gig economy race for example.

      This seems like new reality - chase to dominate big general markets and China is absolutely winning everything from EVs and solar panels to literally fishing out every fish out of existence within the next few decades if not less.

      This is really bad.

    They way they get up is pretty cool, but they each have one jump kick attack and nothing else? Those deathbot matches from the early aughts are way cooler.

    I guess it is like watching toddlers walk, but why the random breakout into dance moves? Also how do they target? Seems like they just generally point at the other one.

    Looks real the same way WWE looks real. I mean, you gotta love the skill/tech used to achieve these feats, but real robots fighting with no restraint wouldn’t need to take a few seconds to dick around after every kick.
