Welcome to the future!
I didn’t think family matters would get a reboot
Who would watch robots fight like this. They can’t even do anything. They have no idea how to fight whoever built them has no idea how yo fight. Its like watching blind people spam moves until something lands.
For most people seeing robots even move like this at all is considered crazy
Most people are also thinking if they have reached this point, where will they be at in 5 - 10 years
I would agree if the movement looked dynamic.
you don’t think a flying roundhouse kick to the head looks dynamic?
No it doesnt. It looks like the same kick over and over. It fights like the guy who has trained 1 kick 10,000 times and has no sense of distance.
I dont think the robot can properly move or throw the same kick slightly different. It can just detected a target and fire off a generic kick. Mechanically its cool but we’ve plenty of examples of robots doing these acrobatics.
Idk maybe it would be better if it was actually trying to do real martial arts. If this thing dynamically circled and popped a well timed jab with some head movement I would be extremely impressed.
They seem to do more damage to themselves when falling over than actually inflicting anything on their opponent…
That’s true of a few BattleBots contenders.
Funny, too.
I can picture these wearing cop uniforms, running you down at night for jaywalking ,and believe it may be one of our possible futures.
I’m pretty sure the odds of this are 100%. Except it’ll be military bots… and they’ll be purging the poor and middle class, because once you have robots to do all the other stuff the next step is to reduce the population.
If you and your group control all the raw resources and manufacturing is fully automated, and you have robots smart enough to do all the manual tasks, you don’t need profit, you get to wipe out most of the population and create your paradise.
Not enough people realize we are morlocks, and the Billionaires think they are the Eloi
But everything is driven by profit. I don’t think the 1% will be able to pivot to reduced profit for better stability/comfort.
Profit only matters when you don’t already own everything, power is the only thing that matters.
But how quickly will hackers be able to gain total control of them? Cops will probably have the administrator password as “password123” or some shit. Or maybe instead of engaging in combat directly, they’ll just be running humanoid cameras, lunging after you no matter how quickly you run, or whatever fence you jump over. Long gone will be the days when you could simply outrun the overweight, poorly trained cops. Now these things will be just inches behind you, the whole way blaring sirens and recording your every move. 😐
The spinning jump kick of the law.
Stop right there! Or I won’t be able to jump kick you!
They fly now? They fly now.
The acronym immediately made me think of this.
I’d still put my money on a battle bot any day of the week.
I love battle bots
“What?! Your heads off!”
“Tis’ but a flesh wound! HAVE AT YEE!”
*I love how one of the presenters is choke-laughing the whole time after it’s head comes off
I feel like that should be disqualifying. Or at least, the robots should be compelled to use the swinging head as a mace.
This show is obviously just to bait people into making better fighting robots for the military, free of charge.
This looks sad. The obsession with humanoid robots is making less and less sense by the decade.
Support your local robot battle scene.
The obsession is actually in search of new tech markets to dominate. AI race, Ev Race, Solar Panel race, gig-economy race. There’s so much money and “realpolitik” in each of these. Sometimes early investments pay off like EV industry and sometimes they absolutely do not - gig economy race for example.
This seems like new reality - chase to dominate big general markets and China is absolutely winning everything from EVs and solar panels to literally fishing out every fish out of existence within the next few decades if not less.
This is really bad.
Pointless if their heads don’t pop straight up and make a “ziiiiiiing” sound.

Best learn how to fashion an EMP cannon from household parts.
So that’s gonna be our future. Fighting robots that uncannily get back up with their head dangling on their back.
They way they get up is pretty cool, but they each have one jump kick attack and nothing else? Those deathbot matches from the early aughts are way cooler.
They learned from Mortal Combat to spam their best move.
Turns out it’s a mirror battle.
I guess it is like watching toddlers walk, but why the random breakout into dance moves? Also how do they target? Seems like they just generally point at the other one.
My guess is that they are remote controlled and the operators of the white robot saw that they were winning, so they hit the dance button in the hopes of scoring some points with the audience.
Instead of fighting each other they should do a laundry folding competition. That would be really impressive!
Indeed, a fitted sheet competition!
Sounds like a strong way to get the robots to want to kill us all
Can we have Hugh Jackman pilot a robot?
He can’t, he’s busy fellating Rupert Murdoch.
What?
(Out of the loop. Don’t know how to unpack that statement.)
He’s literally the godfather to Murdoch’s daughter.
Well that’s fucking disappointing wtf
yeah seeing him dancing in those stupid fucking AGI commercials now makes me hate him. I tried to watch a cute movie called the Sheep Detectives, and as soon as I saw his dumb ass face I had to turn it off.
I know. :(
Still a great Logan, but hard to imagine Logan playing at/with billionaire balls like that.
