RoboGames is the original fighting robot battleground. In this pod, vc2 producer Eddie Codel joins San Fancisco State's team Beer Bash as they modify a keg to make their bot, travel to the competition and take on other teams for RoboGames glory.

    Lesson learnt from that pod: If you're building a fighting robot, don't just have a flame thrower as a weapon.

    Why is this crap still so appealing to me? Possibly for a guard dogbot?!?

    Great pod, heres my question though......the definition of a robot is something that can sense, think, and act.....do these machines do that or are they more like really badass remote control cars?

    Here's the official site for RoboGames, which happens in San Francisco every year. People and bots of all ages come from around the world to compete. Good times!

    yeah definitely sweat, I believe the show is call "robot wars", I can't really remembered. But that didn't ever seem like fun, everyone always gets so angry and it's nothing like what this pod shows. there are definitely some more sweet fights but, like I said, no fun at all, unless you win the big hexagonal nut.

    needs a bit of liquid oxygen in the flame if you ask me.

    I just hope that flame-throwing keg still has a setting for Guinness!

    What if it shot beer at the other bots, thus inebriating them to death
