Killer Lego sumo bots are back for more

Round 3 of the 2007 DivX Lego Sumo Robotic Championship is just as much a DivX sellout as ever, and the required browser plugin still isn't winning any friends, but despite those caveats, we're still glued to our screens for these exciting Lego bot deathmatches. With new bots like "Blue Wedgie" and "Joker" making quick work of their competition -- thanks to Blue Wedgie's clever wedge action and Joker's active sensing technique -- the matches were a bit more expedient this time around, but still quite entertaining. Nerd sport of the future? We think so.

Is there any adware with that DivX plugin? I started to install it but after I read the EULA Addendum, I quit because it talked about 3rd party advertisers. Looks cool but I'm too fed up with adware to risk it.

10/1 odds Blue Wedgie goes down in the 2nd round.

This POS DivX Plugin crashed Omniweb within 3 minutes.

Come on, do I really have to be the one to say this?

I, for one, welcome our portly, easily-taken-apart Lego robot overlords...

"Nerd sport of the future?"

Nerd sport of the past few years more like. Ever hear of RoboGames?
