The Robot Competition

It never fails to amuse me that something so simple can give so much joy.

When we went to the Cool Japan Festival in NYC there was a booth that was enclosed by people cheering on to something. It turned out to be a robot competition where 2 challengers push each other outside the round ring. The first one to do so would be declared the winner.

So simple.





Look like my old old Nintendo joystick.


Practice session.


The challengers: a lobster and a blue cat.


Look like it is a tie.


And the Lobster wins!

It costs $1 per game. There is no time limit, the game is over once one of the robots were overturned or was pushed through the ring. Those robots were powered by D batteries.
