LG To Host Robot Vacuum Soccer Tournament

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 5 of April , 2010 at 4:06 am

You can’t find LG robot vacuums here in the US. You also can’t find ads for robots like this (or this or this or this) in the US, nor (as far as I know) can you find soccer tournaments exclusively for robot vacuums. To promote their new RoboKing, LG is sponsoring a vacuum-only robot soccer tournament in Seoul, where they’re expecting 32 teams to battle it out with remote controlled vacuum bots for prizes that include LG 42″ LED TVs.

If LGs robots are as crappy as their cell phones, then I expect them to lose, badly.
