Robot wars

if that were actually true the threads you 'like' wouldnt need bumping

i'm not a bot!

this is JUST what a machine would say

Jesus fuck my IQ dropped to negative values just from reading this

Back on topic, Robogames coming in late April should have some robot sumo events if anyone is interested, though I'm not sure they'll be casted, last year's livestream was limited to robot combat from light, middle and heavyweights, and I figure the same will repeat this year.
In any case, this should be a good year at least for robot combat. Battlebots S3 was already announced, and China is coming in big with 3 large events already (King of Bots, ClashBots and FMB). Also genuinely impressed by some chink bots in KoB (already airing), thought they would all be cheap knockoffs of western ones, but there are 3 or 4 really high quality ones even beating well established western teams.

King of Bots is sponsored by superstar martial arts actor Jet Li. Fighting My Bots (FMB) came first.

I know FMB already existed, it's just that only recently they really invested on international advertisement, it previously was mainly a national event. Also from what I gathered KoB offers much higher build/repair funding and prize pools than BB, and for that quite a few teams that were previously on Battlebots did not apply this time, and are going to KoB instead, as Battlebots S3 and King of Bots 1.5 will be filmed around the same time.
