Part of the reason I skipped my regular little Sunday feature last week was because I was low on material and not very enthusiastic. Well, that problem has been solved.
Of course, this is more of an alternative.
In Japan, as mentioned previously, they have competitions where amateur-designed and built robots go head to head in human-style unarmed combat. Obviously very different from its closest American counterpart, these competitions have two sources of appeal.
First, it's rather inspiring that a bunch of amateur-built robots have the agility and dexterity necessary for fighting one another.
Second, since they're built by amateurs, they can and do screw up royally, which is always good for a laugh.
Note that they need to pry the poor robots apart at times; this is not an uncommon sight at these events.
