| Japan's Kuratas |
Two robots will battle each other a year from now. One belonging to US-based robotics company Megabots and the other belonging to Japanese robot company Suidobashi Heavy Industry. The Japanese still thinks the US women team didn't deserve to beat their women at the recently concluded FIFAWomen world cup in Canada. And so wants to take the fight off the pitch to the rig. But I pray this doesn't escalate to a 'real' war between the US and Japan. Hold on a second; just saying.

| US Mark 2 |
OK, so American robot company Megabots sent a challenge to its Japanese counterpart to engage their giant robots in a brawl, as parts of a plan to raise their failed Kickstarter campaign to $1.8 million. And guess what? The Japanese robotics firm Suidobashi Heavy Industry welcomed the challenge through its founder Kogoro Kurata. Kurata accepted the challenge in a YouTube video, saying, ''I will fight absolutely.'' And went on to say that ''We can't let another country win this. Giant robots are Japanese culture. And I quite agree with him there.
Watch the response from Suidobashi Heavy Industry to US robotic company Megabots below.
The Japanese robot, according to their promotional video, is a 9,000 pound robot named Kuratas that is fully armed with two guns that pop out 6,000 gun bullets per minute, while MegaBots robot is Mark 2 a 6-pound piloted robot that is capable of shooting 3-pound cannonballs at speeds above 100 miles per hour with its paintball guns. If we should judge the two by what they have inside, the Japanese robot would win in a second.
