LOL I love how they run!   

I wonder what was that thing that fell off the black one about a quarter way through?    It looked like it's head!

This competition is my dream. It sucks that such a robot costs at least $1000. But I am planning to participate next year.
Anyway if you like robo-one battle videos and demos I know this I subscribe to:

Well it has to be a japanese competition since they speak japanese in the video. Can foreigners participate .. I wonder....

Also ... how difficult would building such a thing be 

[superchiku]

[Lefteris]

 Instead of discussing you guys should use google or common-sense.

huh enjoy the video man , besides japan is too far for us to take part 

[Anoroc]

That its pretty neat. I'd love to know how to make a robot like that!

[SixRingz]

Does anyone know if those are autonomous robots or are they RC? Pretty amazing anyhow...

[superchiku]

RC , making an autonomous robot which can achieve such feats will be like making another asimo..

[Tsukubadaisei]

Actually they are a mixture of rc and AI. They have sensors like accelerometers, so the robot can keep itself standing without any external command. Also when you  send a command from a rc controller, the robot receives this simple comand and perform a series of pre-programed movements depending on the situations. And yes, there are comeplete AI ones as well. On the other hand ASIMo is not 100% AI controlled either.
