OMNIZERO.2 at the Tokyo Robo-One competition

by Ryan Block, posted Mar 28th 2006 at 10:04AM

The ~~Layered-X~~ RAYERD-X may have raised some eyebrows and spurred some Transformer reminiscence at the Ninth annual Robo-One competition in Tokyo this week, but according to Robots Dreams the title (at least in the Technical Competition) went to OMNIZERO.2, with its dashing nuvo-like good looks and QRIO-like running, posing, object tracking, and even the ability to jump in place. Sure, this may seem a little rudimentary, but you won't be giggling so smugly when a gang of OMNIZERO.2s tie you down in your sleep and start jumping on your chest. And they will, trust us -- we got a visit last night after we originally decided not to run this story.
