A couple years back a challenge was laid. A US robotics team called MegaBots built a giant robot named Eagle Prime and challenged a Japanese robotics team to some giant robot fighting action. That fight finally happened in September, where they took on the Suidobashi Heavy Industries’ fighting robot Kuratas, as reported by the Verge.
And while the battle may already be over, the action is airing for the first time, live on Twitch, starting at 10 pm EST/7 pm Pacific. Commentary duties will be handled by former UFC play-by-play analyst (and current Bellator man in the booth) Mike Goldberg, alongside Saura Naderi, a robotics expert from Qualcomm Thinkabit.
