Welcome to the future!
This looks sad. The obsession with humanoid robots is making less and less sense by the decade.
Support your local robot battle scene.
This looks so fun haha
they also have computers racing 250kmph cars and 130kmph drones
supposedly it’s streamed on YouTube but I’ve never caught one live bc it happens once a year https://a2rl.io/
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 didn’t even hit each other
Pointless if their heads don’t pop straight up and make a “ziiiiiiing” sound.
I’d still put my money on a battle bot any day of the week.
The acronym immediately made me think of this.
This show is obviously just to bait people into making better fighting robots for the military, free of charge.
I can picture these wearing cop uniforms, running you down at night for jaywalking ,and believe it may be one of our possible futures.
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. 😐
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.
The spinning jump kick of the law.
Stop right there! Or I won’t be able to jump kick you!
can’t wait till they start to sic them on us
Best learn how to fashion an EMP cannon from household parts.
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.
“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.
Ziggo could whip their asses
So that’s gonna be our future. Fighting robots that uncannily get back up with their head dangling on their back.
