Robot American Football

Robot American Football is like the Robot Soccer played during the Robot Soccer World Cup and somehow clearly related to RoboCup (being another soccer like game played with robots, only RoboCup pits robots against human beings!), but this time, at last, it's American Football. And it's from, go figure, Japan.

It's fast. It's a bunch of remote-controlled robots. And, if you look at the video closely enough, or often enough, it's definitely not soccer they're playing. You can tell by the way the robots keep banging into each other. And by the football.

OK. Sure. It looks like great fun. And boy, could we make it like way more football-like! But you need ten players. And each needs her own robot. How unrealistic is that? I mean, it's not like a game the poor will ever get to play. At least until they find themselves in the military.
