Japanese Robot Sumo Is Over In Seconds

If you ever needed proof that the deadly (and inevitable) robo-pocalypse will be swift, check out this video footage of the finals of Japan’s annual robot sumo competition.

Now you might think that two robots pushing one another out of circle would be a slow test of strength like regular fat-human sumo. But if you did, you wouldn’t be ready for the massively fast, whirling blades of death that the Japanese create as “a hobby.”

Trust us, when the robots finally take over, you’ll be seeing a lot more of these flying wedges…but those tiny bulldozers will be circling our fleshy, meaty necks.

Videos after the jump!
