On November 20, filming of the first season of the new show ended "Robot Fight League" (Robot Combat League) for the channel "SyFy". Unlike similar shows "Robot Wars" (BBC) and "Battle Bots" (Comedy Central) full-size humanoid robots with bright nicknames will fight in the ring for three rounds, for example "Steampunk" or "Sgt. "Smash". The movements of the operators are remotely transmitted to the machines, something similar happened in the film "Real Steel". The winning team will receive a prize worth $100. The wrestler acted as the host "WWE" Chris Jericho (Chris Jericho), and took part in the development Mark Setrakian (Men in Black, Grinch, Hellboy). The show will premiere on February 26, 2013.
Mark Stern, head of SyFy: Setrakian created a robotic system that copies the movements and behavior of a real person. Our robots were beheaded and cut in half. An amazing sight.
Interesting Facts:
- In the first season, the robots are supported by special rods with counterweights. This reduces the likelihood of falling and makes it easier to control. The creators hope that in the second season, improved versions of the robots will be able to get rid of the rods.
- In the first tests, the robot practiced punches on a Volkswagen Beetle suspended in the air.
- The robots will have their own seconds in the corners. In the event of a breakdown, the team is given 20 minutes to repair.
- One of the robots was controlled by MMA fighter Amanda Lucas, daughter of George Lucas.

Hooray!
I would even say crucify five times. Stopped after 4 hours.
Damn, what kind of fired person wanted to hack such a wonderful site?! Crucify him!!!!!!!!
Spit, Vano :) This is the second time in a week, by the way. Although the first time it lasted 10-15 minutes. However, this is not a particularly happy trend. My dissatisfied. My evil one. Mine to take and kill. Mine could cause a premature global apocalypse before the release of CZ12. ´'`\_(ò_Ó)_/ ´'`
Does it happen that we will be left without news?
:(
Offtopic on the topic of (ro)bots: Some, to put it mildly, bad person set a bot on the site and is trying to hack the admin panel. With all my heart I would like to wish him success in this ignoble matter.
The red robot would be perfectly named Red Tomahawk. I wonder how fast he will hit from the front? =)
