🤖 Loose screws, tight hooks

We’ve spent decades imagining robot fight clubs. Nobody mentioned they’d look like two Home Depot sinks settling a divorce.

The URKL (Ultimate Robot Knockout Legend) fight pits humanoid robots against each other in a caged arena, throwing punches, kicks and occasional accidental comedy. One robot’s head gets kicked loose and flops around for the rest of the match while it keeps swinging like absolutely nothing happened.

We’re still a long way from Terminator but uncomfortably further from when robot fights meant taping a knife to a Roomba. 

Watch them scrap.
