The Boston-based company “MegaBots” challenged its Japanese competitor “Suidobashi” to a fight in a video two years ago. After the video has been published and subsequent media coverage and a Kickstarter campaign However, the project became quiet. Across from Quartz MegaBots founders Matt Oehrlein and Gui Cavalcanti announced that the duel will take place in September. The exact time and place are still a secret.

The fight was originally supposed to take place earlier, but there were “logistical difficulties”. For example, it was not clear whether the planned location could withstand the weight of the two machines at all. In the run-up to the event, MegaBots has given a detailed look at the robot with which you want to compete for the first time. The almost five meter tall device has an output of 430 hp and weighs twelve tons. The cost is $ 2,5 million, according to the company.

The Japanese competition is more cautious about announcements and videos. You will compete with the robot Kuratas or a modified version of it. However, only an older video without direct reference to the duel is publicly available.

Those who hoped to be able to see the spectacle live will unfortunately be disappointed. So the duel should go on stage without an audience. The reason is security, the organizers do not want to take the risk that spectators will be injured in the duel. After all, the fight should be recorded on video and made available to the public via platforms such as YouTube. It is not yet clear whether the broadcast will take place live ...

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced press reporting politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I'm aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I won't change it to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it is "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
