Japan accepts America's challenge... To a Giant Robot duel.
ShadedExalt:
IN ALL SERIOUSNESS:
Do you guys think these will get off the ground? Make a sporting league, have military applications?
Carn:
Quite possibly, could be a few decades, but lets face it. People like giant robots, its going to be a thing someday.
Richard LeMoon:
Walking/upright robots are unstable, tall, easy to hit targets. That makes them impractical for military use. Look at the evolution of tanks from tall machines to fat, squatting toads.
Carn:
That makes logical sense. But humans aren't really logical creatures, now are we? We have a deep seated fondness, for punching, and dakka. Mechs have both. And it all depends on the mech, it doesn't have to be bipedal. It could have four legs, or be some kind of giant spider mech tank thing.
ShadedExalt:
The Japanese robot has 4 wheels
And with proper balancing and such, multiple legs even, they're excellent at traversing terrain.
