Robo-One 2004. Video (3.90MB MPEG) of a fighting robot pummelling a smaller one and then flexing its arms in celebration before falling off the table.

Also "The Rumble" (3.48MB MPEG) shows eight robots with various fighting techniques battling it out.

  • Weird. The technology is cool, but no matter how sophisticated these robots get, they still look like Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots.
  • I had barely soaked the tears of laughter that one caused me, and now you come and post it! Oh boy... must be in a really simpleton mode, but that little clip really cracks me up, big time. Here they go... little one gets shoved to the back by big guy as in "hey, don't steal my glory", still manages to get up (with a crippled leg, no less!), gets flattened again by big bully, who seems to collapse from the effort. LOL. Sorry, can't help it. Maybe already posted about this one, but anyways; now this one really shows some promise, with cool, ninja-like moves. I can see many interesting things under xmas trees, a couple years from now...
  • yeah, we think they're cute now. mark my words, wait until they're coming after us with knives, lasers and ninja-moves...
