Home Made Robots battling each other for our amusement is nothing raw – hello , Robot Wars – but what if you pit one crappy Robot against another in a battle to square off who is the least horrendous ? Do n’t vex , Japan ’s got us covered .
Late last month ‘ Hebocon ’ saw 31 ( well , 30 actually , one contestant actually left their Robot on the train ) Japanese builders manufacture the worst potential home made robots they could , and confront off against each other for glory and shame . Well , okay , mostly shame .
But still , there ’s some great moments in this awesome recap of the issue , triumph and defeat . And some laughably terrible / brilliant Robot foundation , wielding weapons from pointy shells to doll legs , to sachets of soup and , errr , even vibrator .
Rock on , stinky robot ! You show them who ’s genus Bos .
