You might wince at the professional spectacle of two humans beating each other to a pulp. But when it’s two robots? We want maximum carnage.
Thankfully, the inaugural Ultimate Robot Knock-out Legend (URKL) competition in Shenzhen, China, has delivered on providing the most brutal-but-bloodless spectacle you can lay eyes on.
In a video of a cage match between two mechanical humanoids, one of the clanker combatants literally knocks its opponent’s block off by delivering a flying kick to the face.
The robot continues to fight with its head dangling from between its shoulders and throws a few punches, but not for long.
