Robot fighting is one of the more well-known and dare I say cooler technology based weird sports. The idea is quite simple, robots made by teams or individuals battle it out to see whose robot is both more powerful and more impressive. There are numerous leagues, tournaments and associations around the world dedicated to this sporting giant including the FRA, or Fighting Robot Association, and the Robots Live competition. As we’re all aware by now, there are even some TV shows dedicated to Robot fighting such as Robot Wars which is particularly popular in the UK, and BattleBots in the U.S. These remotely controlled death machines are awe-inspiring when you consider their technological and mechanical configuration and then the prowess and ability that go into controlling and battling with these machines.
Whether it’s a Finnish man throwing a mobile phone or a team of Barbadian men rolling around on Segways, there is always those brilliant and let’s face it eccentric men and women who will find a sporting use for even the most mundane objects and technology and I for one definitely feel rather glad these people exist in our world of hate and drabness! The future is a treasure trove to these individuals as technology becomes more advanced and more wide spread, you never know we may all watch Segway polo in the same way we watch Soccer or Football. Whatever the situation, keep your eyes peeled because I promise you, you won’t be disappointed.
