Japanese Robot Wrestling

Here is a very cool (and exciting video). It's Japanese robot wrestling. When you watch the video try to pick a robot that you like. This is a video of a "Round-Robin" competition and each robot fights each other at least once.

Some of the bouts are pretty funny.

From Gamma Squad:


Another Robo-One event was held at the Robotech exhibition in Tokyo last week, pitting bipedal, humanoid robots against one another.  As we learned last time we covered this event, “The ultimate aim is to create a robot that could fight a human.”  Yeah, great goal, guys.  Good luck with that.


There wasn’t a pugnacious chicken this time, but they did have a robot with wooden shoes and a trucker hat. (Danish douchebot?)  The video is below, and the good news is (spoiler alert) the one in the trucker hat mostly got its ass handed to it.

    For a little robot, that Chrome Kid really kicks ass!

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
