Robots compete to the strains of "The Final Countdown"
The penguin robot is outrun by the mincing robot. Doubtless they head for Venus.

Fantastic! That last bit is like a Japanese game show for robots.
Also to "Eye of the Tiger." A Furby reference?
Whoa, that's a cool robot video. Some of them can do "The Typewriter" better than MC Hammer. I want to see more of the robots tackle the spinning platter obstacle, though the one they did show got up eerily fast after falling down.
hopefully we can see autonomous robot contests like this within a few years...

A lot of these robots seem to have similar parts - is there a kit of some sorts available?
