  1. Are these 100% controlled by people or does it have a sensor on the bottom telling it not to drive past the white line? If these are just people going and stopping at the line a million times a second thats crazy.

  2. The robots are going to fucking destroy when they land on the battlefield in force. No lumbering hulks, really fast fuckers that flense the enemy into a slurry. The Geneva Convention’s going to need a huge makeover.

  3. 5:27 is my favorite. “Oh, I bet he’s waiting for me to move first. I’ll just fake him out.” *nothing* “I’ll just fake him out.” *Nothing* “Fake him out… fake him out… fake him out… fake him out… I’LL KILL YOU!”

  4. How to win this competition everytime:

    Step 1: Create a standard robot base.

    Step 2: stick a few sharp blades on multiple arms lowered towards the ground.

    Step 3: at the beginning of the round, Quickly carve a white circle around your bot. Then extend the arms into a giant propeller and spin

    Step 4: All robots use an IR detector to stop it going out of the ring when it sees a white barrier , so it wil come up to the white scratch shield you created around your bot, and go the other way.

    Step 5: meanwhile your arms have turned into a giant propeller , All the enemy has to do is wander aimlessly around the field trying to find you, then meet the propeller blades and get knocked out.

  5. [5:26](https://youtu.be/QCqxOzKNFks?t=326) – The robot on the left is like:

    *…Oh yes that’s it, please come closer.*

    *I am like an unflinching, calm rock.*

    *Yes, keeping coming to me.*

    *This is all going to plan.*

    *Yes you’re almost right where I want you, you unwitting victim!*

    *My patience is key.*

    *Yes come closer into my trap!*

    *Just wait until you see my special move!*

    *Yes closer!…..Wait shit, I messed up and forgot to move!*

  6. This reminds me of a cat fight somehow; maybe the sound and speed. Flash forward to a terrifying future, where battle bots hash things out in alleyways around the globe. When I’ll pull my covers a little more tightly to my chin.

  7. I can imagine an anime/manga based entirely on robot sumo.

    “You see, there are three main types of Sumo Kikai…. *[serious explanation of the nuances of sumo bots]*”

    I’d be entertained.
