Tokyo-based start-up Tsubame Industries has developed a 4.5-metre-tall (14.8-feet), four-wheeled robot that looks like “Mobile Suit Gundam” from the wildly popular Japanese animation series, and it can be yours for $3 million.

    Didn’t they build this years ago? I remember the lame arse “fight” with the US robot company.

      i think they had an idea, a good one, but then at the last moment realized that it was all too dangerous and expensive in practice.

      then they tried doing some weird hybrid between “professional” wrestling and a documentary.

      poor planning was the ultimate downfall. i had high hopes.
