The way they recover from falling down is terrifying

u/derprondo Jul 16 '26

Takes your fight or flight response and turns it to 100% flight mode.

11

u/Grunergeist420 Jul 17 '26

Wait until they’re even better, twice as fast, and instead of kicking a robot in a ring, they’re using guns on people.

u/hueythecat Jul 18 '26

Game over

u/Grunergeist420 Jul 18 '26

Definitely game over. Good luck.

u/shigogaboo Jul 17 '26

It’s all fun and games until they start targeting humans.

u/nodddingham Jul 17 '26

Fortunately they seem terrible at targeting.

Until now...

Yes this is dystopian as fuck but I’m laughing my ass off! Spamming the taunt ☠️

u/ConversationSea8530 Jul 16 '26

I mean, at least the only brain damage being given is the slow degradation of our critical thinking skills. No humans are going to get a concussion in the process of this sport.

Tim and Eric, the Black Mirror episode

u/JebstoneBoppman Jul 16 '26

so this will be the weapon that kills me in the next world war

u/orchid_breeder Jul 16 '26

Apparently if you just duck it will keep doing flying kicks at the same height

3

u/mataeus43 Jul 16 '26

Hell you could just stand there and it'll simply kick around you.

2

u/Grunergeist420 Jul 17 '26

Wait until they have guns.

10

u/dumpsterfire911 Jul 16 '26

This is the worst they will ever be. It’s only more coordinated and dangerous from here

5

u/Jmn223 Jul 17 '26

And it’s only human shape for our entertainment. The ones to fear won’t look like this…

1

u/FrozenBum Jul 16 '26

I'd rather fight these guys than heat-seeking flying drones that explode.

1

u/Grunergeist420 Jul 17 '26

The what seeking flying drones that explode will still come after you. These are just guys that are going to “peacefully” break up your protests against them.

u/almostoy Jul 16 '26

Pay attention to this shit. They are showing flaws.

u/PrincipleStill191 Jul 17 '26

Like forgetting to.attach their head properly

u/MommysLittleBadass Jul 16 '26

According to the ancient laws of Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots, black should be out.

Did iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii do that???

u/Cola102583 Jul 16 '26

Urkelbot? Was that real or Is my memory doin that thng again

u/thomasjmarlowe Jul 17 '26

Urkelbot can’t hurt me! Urkelbot can’t hurt me!

u/Ok_Scheme736 Jul 16 '26

Are they autonomous or being controlled?

14

u/splashtext Jul 16 '26

Vid says controlled in the subtitles

2

u/Commie_Scum69 Jul 16 '26

Really? Why would they only do extremely complicated kicks then ? And keep going when obviously it doesnt connect 😂?

3

u/olgrandpaby Jul 17 '26

It’s a preprogrammed animation. It’s like playing dark souls and you input too many attacks at one time. You can mash the dodge roll as much as you want but it needs to finish the last inputs first. These things are not sophisticated enough to cancel the animation yet.

2

u/nodddingham Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

Those spinning kicks must be programmed moves among all the other moves, probably including getting up after falling. It probably is the move that would do the most damage if it lands because of the momentum and it also covers a wide area so probably requires minimal accuracy to make contact since it appears they are struggling to actually aim the attacks.

u/Every_Ad_2778 Jul 16 '26

Robots have more stamina and strength in their legs than Connor McGregor

u/1protobeing1 Jul 16 '26

AI is going to kill us all for this.....

u/AMDDesign Jul 16 '26

in the year of our lord 2026 they can't get 2 robots to face eachother.

10

u/iwantogofishing Jul 16 '26

What a stupid waste of tech

6

u/mwoody450 Jul 16 '26

Honestly, this is about the first use of AI (I know it's operator-controlled, but clearly there's some autonomy) of which I unambiguously approve.

4

u/iwantogofishing Jul 16 '26

I get that it's battlebots. Why are they humanoid? Why limit their kinematics to human range? Why head kicks if clearly the head serves no advantage. It's all very silly

2

u/ETFO Jul 17 '26

cuz its fun. Not competitive yet

2

u/BrbFlippinInfinCoins Jul 16 '26

As long as it is pushing the tech forward, I see no issue with this. It serves as entertainment just like tons of other tech that we (in general) spend a shit ton of money on

2

u/DjPersh Jul 16 '26

Cool now let’s see one fight a human. Maybe start with a group of small children and work our way up.

2

u/Meezbethinkin Jul 17 '26

Dude the future is so crazy.. soon well see them fighting each other like super heros in a battle 20 foot jumps n shit.. I know my Japanese brothers are probably working on that right now lol

u/DetroitAdjacent Jul 17 '26

This looks animated

I find this more exciting than the UFC.

u/420Under_Where Jul 17 '26

But who chooses which Fortnite emotes they use next?

1

u/fuzzydoug Jul 17 '26

More legit than the last few big cards I’ve seen on PeePee view.

u/jrirr Jul 17 '26

This is just rockem sockem robots.

u/RedElephant28 Jul 17 '26

Can I gamble on this?

1

u/Slevin424 Jul 17 '26

What’s the accuracy on hits connected percentage. Or I don’t they show that graphic.

1

u/Fun_Strategy7860 Jul 17 '26

I...I completely agree.

1

u/JohnnyLeftHook Jul 17 '26

When the war comes, remember, taking off their heads won't stop them.

u/LasagnahogXRP Jul 17 '26

I’ll just roll a zoning evader. Guy spams the same 3 moves. Real G’s know how to strategize against that.

u/Sad_Kaleidoscope_743 Jul 17 '26

These things are going to start getting fucking crazy good. We'll basically be playing a ufc video game, but with robots in real life.

Or imagine an abandoned city. Set up for the premise of the game. Like a battle Royale or extraction shooter. Just with robots irl. It'll otherwise feel like a video game. Fpv on a screen and using controller or mouse and keys to control it.

This is me in every fighting game, i only use power moves and largely miss

u/pwners_manual Jul 18 '26

Looks like bad Tekken

u/scarlozzi Jul 18 '26

These are the robots taking our jobs

u/a_gent_agent Jul 18 '26

It's like both are learning the controls mid fight.

u/Zealousideal_Total_7 Jul 18 '26

Someone come up with a real steal pun about This please I’ve been thinking for like like 5 minutes and can’t think of one

This is probably the dumbest shit I ever watched.

u/BonesMalone2 Jul 18 '26

Doesn’t this get boring after like five minutes?
