Which would you rather have to back you up in a fight??
Or rather... which has better functionality??

Asimo is the most useless hunk of junk walking around with nothing to do.
So frigging what... the cjapanese can build a robot that walks. Matter of fact it is not even the Japanese -- It's Honda!

I would much rather have a BattleBot behind me -- or on my resume.


So now,,,, which would win in a fight? Which would come out of the cage?
You all know it wouldnt be Assimo!

for those of you that dont know what BattleBots are it is now a weekly syndicated TV program on US cable TV. You put 2 bots in a cage and they battle it out until one pulverizes the other. Awesome Entertainment - especially while fading on pot - and thats from me who hates pro-wrestling.

And for those Assimo fans here is what he is up to:
Asimo attended an official diplomatic dinner (http://www.rferl.org/nca/features/2003/08/22082003162032.asp)
Asimo Tours the World (http://asimo.honda.com/news_media_center.asp)



AIBO fans will enjoy this:
Sony AIBO Robotic Dogs to play soccer against each other in teams of four. While Beckham's job is not yet jeopardized, the cool thing from an AI perspective is that 'once the humans flip the switch, the robots are on their own.
