The Competition You Should Feel Ashamed to Win

Greetings, fellow sufferers!

A few days ago my bro happened upon a video showcasing a robot competition in Japan. The difference between this competition and other robot competitions: technical know-how is shunned. Making a robot by taping cereal box armour onto a wind-up toy is encouraged.

This being Japan, it is awkwardly hilarious, with robots weighed down by a bowl of soup and "Hostage-chan" who flails around using dolls and a toy gun (at least I think it's a toy gun).

This is fucking glorious. My brother liked the bot that shakes powdered soup supremely. I liked dildo-chan and recorder bot, who totally wins for going the extra mile in crappiness, using the supreme advantage of an inclined plane to gain forward momentum without using any sort of motor whatsoever. Ok, I guess motor for the recording device counts, for it records with much prejudice!

And that's enough of that. Here, have some actual fighting robots:
