Look Japan, we know you love your robots but is it really prudent to equip them with frigging laser beams? Why not just hand them maps to our vital organs and special hoses to juice our babies? You're looking at an actual photo from the Blazer tournament held this week in Fukuoka City, Japan. The competition fitted Kondo's
KHR-1HV with lasers and sensors and then let the teams battle it out in a mock-up city. We truly are the makers of our own doom.
Update: Video added after the break, pew pew... pew-pew, pew.

Back away from your keyboards developers.
guess those developers got a little *too* gung ho after steve ballmer's monkey boy dance
That would explain why they keep on falling down.

PEW PEW
Take a look at this PEW PEW video! :D

Lol!
I'll take my Kimber SIS .45 and drop those robots from 100 yards away thank you very much...instead of pew pew pew....you would 1 KABOOM. Robot dead.
I, for one, frankly didn't expect our robot overlords to be this directly created by us.
damn Japanese are so ahead of the pact!
u know they are going to have the 1st Man and Robot wedding.
and your invited :)
"You're" for those b1tches
ahead of the "pack"
-sincerely,
"bitch number 273"
It's spelled "bitches"
b1tches iz l337, didntcha hear?
I'd like to see you find "zomgot" in a dictionary. zomg0t is fact. So says I.

ur wr0ng m8 ;)
It's spelled "pack".
[thought I'd be a spelling weenie, too, seeing as how there are so many here and I didn't want to stand out from the crowd]
That photograph is simultaneously the coolest and most disturbing thing I have ever seen.
i m gonna start building my robotic disguise suit now
i agree. we're screwed, yet so..enticed.
I can't believe it's taken them this long. I've been putting lasers into my transformers, GI joes, and marvel characters for years. The hit detection sensors is definitley a plus.
how about frickin' sharks?
This is Blade... Laser... Blaser
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
office reference?
hey i know that meme! isn't that from the cosby show?
It was first uttered in an episode of Neighbours, by Scott Robinson aka Jason Donovan
No, that quote is from the bowls of engadget comment sections. It's exact origins lost in the mists of time, as the meme was repeated again and again in a time before the engadget blog even existed yet still had commenter's commenting on stuff.
I believe it is a quote from the simpsons, kent brockman reporting on the closeup shot of the ants on homers space shuttle. There could have been one before that I guess. But its the only one in my heart!
@james
it's from the simpsons? NO SHIT SHERLOCK!
'PEW PEW'? Isn't that Star Wars blasters?
But can they play d- .... well, never mind... If they can, that means there's no doubt they are capable of killing or enslaving myself and all my loved ones.
Anyone want to move to the north pole with me? That's probably the last place they'll come looking for us.
North Pole, sshhhhhh! They won't know until they read your post, douche. Good looking out for your fellow man.
I for one think this is awesome.
Here is actual video.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNWNByB7tUY&eurl)
Wow. So lame. I stopped watching after about ten seconds when I realized that all they were going to do is stand there jerking clumsily around like a bunch of action figures on strings and shine little barely-visible beams of red light around at each other. Booorrriinng...
not to nitpick, but isn't it FRICKIN laser beams?
Yes, it's frickin', which is a non-rude version of the other F work. Unlike friggin' which means... well I'll leave you to look it up in the urban dictionary...
No time to look it up...it's fuckin' right? It HAS to be fuckin' laser beams. I'm totally right, aren't I?
Please tell me they can make smooth human-like motions. I want my inevitable demise at the hands of our overlords to be awesome.
Damned Japanese ! They're going to get the world pewed.
That looks so cool!!
... "BATLLE" :-) Yeah, they have problems with english, but damn, they do have fun with things we can barely get our hands on !
We don't have to worry until they start putting bees in their mouths. That's when things will really get bad.
Stop humping the laser!
Hmm - we're all safe - all of the (human) participants are wearing no eye protection. Jobs for blind ex-robo techies anyone?
"The road to hell is paved with helpful machines." - Douglas Adams
Sign of the apocalypse?
Looking at the picture got me worried for a moment. Then I saw the video and realized the robots are tiny. Even the Japanese looks big compared to the tiny killbots!
Tiny now but, wait to they unite into a giant robot and plow your puny little human body into sluch
pew pew
got ya!
no you didn't!
yes I did!
I put up my magic force field!
I used a 2x power laser!
I used an infinity powred force field!
My laser is 2x infinity!
Dad! He's cheating!
(seriously a conversation my kids had yesterday)
Sharks, what about sharks?
"we are the borg. resistance is futile."
The future is now. Humans are so last year.
fuckingloser dotorg
Autobots! Transform, fall over, and roll off the table!
GREAT!.
Agreed at all with this kind of robots:
Robots playing football (soccer) :nay!
Robots fighting each other :yay!
Man I love robots
