RoboCup Open Japan 2009: robot fight

[leokuan]

i can't help but wonder why they use a low friction surface and seemingly the material for the robots' feet as well for a competition like this. Doesn't that naturally make the designs uninteresting by default if the goal is to knock the opponent down?

Bigger robot doesn't mean better

But the whole fight was just freakin hilarious.

I'm dumbfounded. I understand people inviting robotic vacuums into their house. They look cute and provide a service.

The only service these fighting robots provide is terror. Malice machines. I could honestly weep.

this is a form of art, dumbass.

do those small robots look really that harmful to you?
