i think they're fighting with giant paint balls.

USA should have this since it's pretty much a bob cat.

Yeah you're probably right. The building/dev videos really only showed them trying to get melee weapons ready though, so I'm still hopeful it'll get up close and personal.

I've also read that they're in talks to create an international robot fighting sport based on the success of this. Would be awesome if it was entertaining enough to take it to that next level.

Haha yeah a giant robot version of battlebots would be sick. Definitely a lot more carnage could be had.

i have been waiting for this to happen for over a year

reading about their transportation costs and customs nightmares

really would be cool if this became a new kind of mega mech battlebots

how bad ass that would be

 

[bowl of blood]

good point it p much is just larpin

no way it's actually cool, 90% of battlebots is boring as hell too

Would be nice if each was allowed a 120mm cannon and 8ft plasma torches.
