Anyone who has watched sumo robot fights has a picture of the velocity of future warfare. I always wondered as a kid why the fights in SciFi shows involved so many misses. The future of battle is quick, accurate and unfeeling.

  Fascinating. They should put the robot fights inside of a plexiglass. I’m surprised the judges haven’t been injured yet, even though they wear full leg shielding.

never heard of robot sumo before this, thanks for sharing! Super cool. I wish we had more robotic competition in real life. Imagine how crazy the car or plane races could be. Unfortunately the only time I've really appreciated the power and speed of computers in a directly relatable way is with Super Smash Bros Melee TAS videos or this kind of robotic exhibition

  Real Steel is a great documentary on the subject.
