USA vs Japan, who's gonna win next month?
China has challenged the USA with their own robot as well, dubbed The Monkey King.
Is large, manned, robot battles really starting to happen?
who cares
It's probably going to be such a disappointment. I think that's why the hype died down.

literally this
I'd have more fun watching paint dry.

For those wondering, the US Eagle Prime is running on the Robot Operating System while Japan's Kuratas is running on V-Sido OS by Asratec.
Both are publicly available although it seems that ROS is a little more mature.
Haven't heard what Monkey King is running on.

More than likely because the dates kept getting pushed back. Supposedly, the only thing their working on now is which way to transport the heavy things.
We could just have another one of these threads...
How about this?
>>61767408
Are they actually going to fucking fight or are they going to slap each other around with fucking paintballs?
>>61768415
No, they're gonna beat each other off.

>tfw I just want real steel without the fucking father/son bonding bullshit
I'll take fucking battlebots over this. Last season was pretty good desu.

I would think that at least one of them is gonna get tipped over. Without any reveal from japan, there's no telling. us bot is looking to be the favorite so far seeing as it was actually built for this and not just a technological art piece for richfags with more money than sense.

They seem simple enough to be easily converted to remote control. Wouldn't mind seeing some live munition.

The fuck? Why no moonrunes?

Kuratas can already be controlled from a 3g smartphone.
Yeah, it would be pretty neat to see some real damage. Still, knowing there:s real humans inside that can still get injured makes it interesting.
Especially considering some of the weapons tested for EP.
