Humanoid Robot Laser Tag

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 31 of August , 2009 at 2:50 am

The 2nd annual Blaser Robot Battle laser tag competition will be held September 13th. In Japan. Which, last time I checked, is really, really far from California. Sigh. Yet another event to add to the schedule for RoboGames 2010… Too bad Good thing I’m in no way in charge of that. Anyway, this sport looks to be pretty straightforward, with 2v2 or 4v4 humanoids outfitted with laser guns and sensors, trying to score the most points by shooting opposing robots or bases. The video shows some POV cameras, but it doesn’t look like they were actually being used for competition, unlike Mech Warrior. My recommendation: next time, how about some upgraded weaponry.
