That just reminds me of the beer commercial with the fridge fighter.

WTH? I've never seen this type of 'bot fight... Are these things autonomous or RC? Is the power source through induction in the feet or batteries? The balance these things have got is incredible! 'Cept, of course, when they get knocked over... :)

I believe they are RC.

Fight? ...LOL.. looks more like how I used to keep my little brother at bay.



I'm wondering, is this the same group last year that did that robot dance routine thing? That was pretty cool too.

It's pretty cool how they can get back up though.

Remember, this is all pre-programed stuff. I like how smooth it looks.

Looks like One Must Fall may someday become a reality...

I don't think it is. Not entirely anyway. They are controled by RC.
