Robot Laser Deathmatch Is Just Practice For World Takeover

Laser Robots

These little laser-equipped robots may not scare you that much, but this is how it all starts: right now, they’re a foot tall, but give them a couple generations and they’ll be crushing us under their giant metal feet. In the meantime, though, we get to watch these KHR-1HV humaniod remote controlled robots take part in a 4 v 4 game of laser tag:

Gameplay seems to be a lot like a conventional game of retail laser tag: run around and shoot anything that moves on the way to the enemy base, where you mindlessly pound away at the sensor ’cause it’s worth the most points. In this case, hitting another robot causes it to fall over and become incapacitated for five seconds and the team loses a point. Games last five minutes, and the winners (I assume) get to strip the losers for spare parts.
