No, these aren't battlebots krod :P, they are robots that are built for a specific purpose in comptetion, like going up stairs or something. NASA funds a competiton here, its called First, but I don't know the website.

Japan is very hi tech with stuff like that, like if you have seen daily planet with the girl robot that looks almost identical to a human Confused

its pretty creepy really..

I like the design of the robots on the TeamKiss website. It seems like a more specific version of US First. I'd really like to go to an event like this in Japan sometime... home of the best robot technology! =).

Ever since i was young i had a thing for taking everything my parents gave me apart. I wish i worked with robotics but life takes us down other paths, maybe in the future as a hobby. Personally i like that show called robot wars where the robots tear eachother apart hehe.
