Japan and America agree to put giant fighting robots into battle

Japan's Suidobashi accepts MegaBots' challenge of a duel, paving the way for robot wars on a grand scale


The MegaBots Mark II in action

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.

The battle would pitch the 12,000 lbs (850-stone) MegaBots Mark II against Suidobashi's Kuratas, which weighs 9,000 lbs.

Now, Suidobashi has responded, saying it accepts the challenge - on one condition.

Naturally, you have to go to the link to read the "one condition," and the rest of the article.

They are not robots, they have pilots so I think mecha would be a better term.
