Title: USA vs Japan - This time it's giant robots
Post by: 0rph3u5 on July 08, 2015, 03:59:10 am

This just came-up on my radar:

It's silly, it's juvenille, it's marketing stunt - and it's two compaines building giant, piloted robots challanging each other to a duel to see whose machine is the best.

The challange was issued June 30th and was accepted on July 5th

The world just got 20% cooler ;)
(not in nationalist or culture-clash way but we actually get to see giant robot fights in my life time; let's hope it stays an unreasonably expensive sport though)

ps. how is it that on HLP I can never get the youtube-videos to work? - It's only here.... FIXEDIT
