Japan and America agree to put giant fighting robots into battle

It's the moment we've all been waiting for: two giant fighting robots - one Japanese and one American - will square off in a melee one year from now. That is, if the robots' two owners keep their word. Last week, MegaBots, an American engineering company, challenged Japan's Suidobashi Heavy Industry to a duel.

Good thing its unarmed combat, might end up like this....

That would be better during war than people dying, or am i just being naive.

I agree, actually -- I can see a scenario in which non-human combatants fought it out and whichever side won would then have such an obvious tactical advantage that it could essentially end the war without human bloodshed -- unless the side that lost was desperate enough to fight other side's machines with whatever it had left.

Cool story too

the Taliban never had drones...
most wars in the last 30 years have not been between equals...
today Palestinians teens will vainly try and fight tanks with stones
It would not make a difference.

Tanks?
You do realise these same teens have killed people by throwing stones at cars etc?
What is even worse they are being used by the likes of Hamas to do this.


Palestinian stone-throwing refers to a Palestinian practice of throwing stones at outgroups, most commonly as a form of resistance.^[1] It is generally defined as a violent activity, though the majority of Palestinian youths engaged in the practice appear to regard it as non-violent.^[2] It has been described variously as a form of traditional popular protest guerrilla tactic or action, as a form of hate crime or terrorism, or mode of civil disobedience which came to prominence during the First Intifada. At least 14 Israelis have been killed by Palestinian stone throwing, including 3 Arabs mistaken for Jews




Palestinians throwing rocks and stones is an act of violence and can and has killed Israelis. It’s not surprising, therefore, that IDF soldiers in the vehicle targeted in the photo below fired back after stone-throwers ignored warning shots and continued their attack.

Hardly Tanks.

yeah and that is relevant? remotely how...

Ohh that's right Zionist much
Anyone mentions Palestinian and you have to dehumanize them to justify their deaths.
it's getting really boring and invalidates everything you post about Israel.

the fact some hit cars doesn't stop them throwing them at tanks

BAD guys are the ones driving tanks in a residential area. there is no possible debate residential area with Foreign tanks, lets see you try and argue that although Israeli tanks are in their neighborhood it is Actually the Palestinian teens that are at fault and the aggressor, what this time didge? they are making the IDF solider sitting in the tank fear for their lives.

I remember a the plot syfi movie, can`t remember the title ,where country's used robots to fight wars instead of people ,casualtys where calculated and people where then humanely executed in a machine by lottery in the loosing country ...could have been a old star trek episode come to think of it

but wars fought by robots is a thing we see today in some respects  ,i expect eventually that`s going to be the nature of war any way unless we as a species grow the feck up and stop resorting to armed conflict to settle what are pretty petty reasons and ideology's

conflict is natural
life eats life

The problem with a lot of these ideas as much as hate to admit it as long as there is someone like me it wont work, strategically it is better to just attack them direct while they fuck around with a proxy war, perfect distraction while the bombs wipe them out
it only takes 1 in a million to think out side the box and any system is broken. like they say war doesn't decide who is right just who is left... and for centuries we (the west) have used propaganda post-genocide to justify to everyone that is left, how we were in the right all along

People lose their lives from stone throwing, because its dnagereous. Palestinian youths are brainwahsed to do so knowing full well of the dangers.
This is not about dehumanizing Palestinaisn but groups like Hamas that knowingly send teen children to do their dirty work.
Get it intoi that pea brain of yours its wrong.
People end up dyuing as a co0nsequence of this happenning whether it be the stone thrower or their intended victim.
What does the pea brain counter back with, where people die?
When there is actual conflict. For goodness sake, the question you should be asking is why are they not with their families?
Because Hamas etc again encourage them to commit these acts.
Its nothing about Zionism youi nazsi jew hater, its about the loss of unnecessary life which can be avoided.
You never look to see why things happen, you just are one helll opf a pea brain Nazi twat.

Tanks are designed to plant flowers are they Hypocrite
Solider are Employed to KILL PEOPLE
A teenager in their home town is not causing the issues.

AND seriously a single part of what you just posted Applies to the fact that People Will still fight against machines HOW!!!!!
Exactly it doesn't you obsessed Zionist fuck
YES you do Every single post you try and make Palestinians sound like monster and Israel Sounds Like good guys
AND
WHO even mentioned Jews? Entirely you only you are saying a Nation is the same as a religion Because you are a twat
NO ONE MENTIONED ISRAEL OR HAMAS STOP TWISTING EVERY SINGLE THREAD TO YOUR PATHETIC ZIONIST AGENDA!!!!


You don't even know why everyone thinks your dumb... because you heard Palestinians and post a bunch of irrelevant crap!!! Not relevant to the discussion at all.

DO you know what else is NOT FUCKING RELEVANT ALL what happened in Europe 70 fucking years ago
NOT RELEVANT at all, We dot need to mention it again because well since then WE HAVE COMMITTED ATROCITIES TOO the idea lest we forget so we don't do it again HAS FAILED cause we are letting Israel do it right now.

BUT NOT RELEVANT TO THIS THREAD RETARD STOP POSTING YOU ZIONIST RUBBISH
Maybe if you read IT was pretty fucking clear that is an example of someone fighting even though there is a Massive technical disadvantage which Ben said he though might make people give up, Clearly demonstrable that Palestinians are still willing to fight for their homes even though the invader has tanks and they only have rocks. So the premi9se that a technical advantage would make people give up is incorrect as humans will still fight even when they have zero chance of success.

And yet again the pea brain still misses the point.
Only a pea brain can miss the point of where teens are being used to commit to violent acts that see loss of life whether it be the thrower of the stone or their intened victim.
Only a left wing extreme twat who hates the Jews through the guise of Zionism.
I do not care what a pathetic little jumped up spotty virgin keyboard warrior thinks of me.
As seen he has the intellect of a hamster.
He now claims nothing that happened 70 years ago is relevant, showing how far removed he is from reality.
It is exactly because of what happened 70 years ago, that the problems still exist today.
That was never excepting the state of Israel and attacking it. To claim it has no relevance shows how fare removed you are from the realms of reality, but then again you think the Sun and earth are Gods lol

Nobody denies the west has done wrongs, you seem to think that means its okay for others to do the same, which proves further why you have a pea brain.
You know nothing about history and try and wade in to the debate with nothing but horseshit. You would rather defend a group like Hamas that denies its very own people basic freedoms through theocracy.

I am done talking with you as you have the intellect of a small child who as seen knows very little about anything.

So talk to yourself dummy, as that is all you have the ability to do

I do not back Zionism, which is a belief about Land and a right to defend that land based on religion.
I will post what I fucking like. So do not use your position given to you by Ben and abuse this to tell me what to fucking do.
Get that in your thick skull
Again when you understand the history of this conflict and study it and come back and debate with some sense let me know.
But all youi do is skip all the problems that go with this confliict.

I defend the rights of Israeli's to self determination. I do not defend Zionism, which just shows the mentality of a left wing extremist twat.

You deflected this thread which had nothing to do with Israel.
So you are the idiot and then cast blame onto me for something you did.
Yet again left wing mentality, blame others for what they do themselves.

Now jog the fuck on you pathetic spotty virgin keyboard warrior

i don`t agree conflict is natural its a product of competing for resources or to enforce an ideology

Take Madagascar for example no predators and the animals live in relative harmony with each other
