Robo-One's Rumble: Eight robots enter, one robot leaves

Robo-One

We already knew that Steven Tyler was a fan, but CNN has some more details on Robo-One, Japan's twice-yearly robotics competition which ditches all the pretense of sports or scientific advancement and focuses on what we all really want: kickboxing robots that can fight each other Mortal Combat-style, with some of them sporting special deathblow moves like being able to pull off a somersault and crash down on their opponent from above. The highlight, of course, is the Rumble, when eight robots enter the ring and battle it out until only one is left standing.
