A Robot Battle Between the US and Japan Is Coming


American based robot maker Megabot challenged their Japanese counterparts to a robotic duel last week. Operated by humans, the the 15-foot tall robot can shoot cannonball sized paint balls at speeds that can reach over 120 miles per hour.

The robot maker creates giant robots for sport but some have suggested the concept of giant fighting robots could be the future of spectator sports.
